SIDELIGHTS Ant's Life Is Full of Strife By Doris Lee By DORIS LEE The ant farm is going full tilt again. I walked into the kitchen the other day and there it was in all its buggy splendor perched on the ledge between the laundry area and the breakfast nook. This time we have red ants and black soil taken from the yard instead of the mail order white sand and little black ants we had the first time. "What's the ant farm doing here again?" I demanded. "We're back in business," said Tony. "A different breed this time." "I thought I gave this thing to the Goodwill," I said. "You did," he said, "but I rescued it before it left the yard." He beered through the glass and tapped the side with a finger, knocking an ant off balance and sending it sliding down a small incline of soil. "I stared at him. 'You're too big for an ant farm,'" I said. "You're almost six feet tall and you wear size ten shoes." "I'm only fourteen years old," he said plaintively. "Besides, you don't raise them right." I continued. "What do you mean? I feed definitely wrong. There was none of the typical scurrying from place to place removing clods and replacing them, tunneling, clearing, building. Instead, they moved indolently over the hilly surface. A cluster of sidewalk superintendents stood around watching the few industrious ones who were working on the crumbs. Others reclined on their backs apathetically waving their feet in the air. "There's something amiss here," I said. "This is anything but a model group." He nodded. "They lack incentive." "Oh? Why is that?" "There’s no queen to work for. I couldn’t find one." "Why bother then?" "Well, I was hoping they wouldn’t notice her absence for awhile. Besides, it’s an experiment to see what an ant will do without incentive." Spark of Life "Well, now you know. And look here in the corner. There's a brawl going on." We looked closer. Sure enough, a full-scale riot was in full swing. "See," I said, "they’re so frustrated by being in danger." Mr. Robert Abboreno Editor Anaheim Gazette P. O. Box 151 Anaheim, California Dear Bob: On behalf of President Willi He beered through the glass and tapped the side with a finger, knocking an ant off balance and sending it sliding down a small incline of soil. I stared at him. "You're too big for an ant farm," I said. "You're almost six feet tall and you wear size ten shoes." "I'm only fourteen years old," he said plaintively. "Besides, you don't raise them right." I continued. "What do you mean? I feed them," he said. "I'll say! Look at those bread crumbs. They're building tunnels through them." "My hand slipped when I was feeding them." Irrigated Sauce "Your hand slipped last time too with the water. The sand turned green and the tunnels clogged up with fuzz. And the ants all lost heart and began to die off. Toward the end the only activity we had were funeral processions." "Well, we learned something, didn't we? The burial customs of the black ant." "Yeah, or how an anthill becomes a ghost town," I said. "And speaking of hills, that's all I see here, hills but no tunnels. Whey aren't they digging?" He shrugged. "Maybe the soil's too packed. That's probably why they're tunneling through the crumbs. It's easier." I looked closer. Something was Karcher Is Secretary of Water Utilities Group George P. Karcher, Anaheim, was named executive secretary of California Water Utilities Committee last week. Karcher is vice president of Pacific Water Company and has been active in water conservation for many years. California Water Utilities Committee was formed last week, embracing a statewide group of water utilities firms. Headquarters for the group will be in Anaheim. One of the committee's primary aims will be to keep a close watch on all Sacramento legislation affecting water matters, Karcher said. He added: "After all, every Future plans call for a fulltime Sacramento office for the organization. The group hopes to set up the office by the session of the legislature. "There is altogether too much hit and miss approaches to many of our water problems today, and a few people in a few places are making too many decisions for all of us — most of the time without our knowing what is going on. "There is a water expert behind every tree with a ready answer for most everything and some of the legislation I have seen planned would make your hair curd." Karcher charged Mr. Robert Abboreno Editor Anaheim Gazette P. O. Box 151 Anaheim, California Dear Bob: On behalf of President William B.

For the past four or more weeks the name of the Orange County Conservative Coordinating Council has been showing up on your paper along with that of Jim Townsend, I, for one, think you should give some of your readers a little background on this organization. When this name first cropped up, it didn't mean anything. Now however, it could have a meaning for every citizen that believes in good government. Recently, I saw an editorial in the Bulletin that played up the organization to a great degree also noted that one of the candidates elected in the primary gave credit to this organization for his victory. The news on the radio and out-of-town papers said this candidate was a surprise victor and mentioned the Orange County Conservative Coordinating Council.

By the sticker on your card "This is a republic, notocracy - let's keep it that I am told that this is a new organization in the County and yet, no one seems to know much about it. One of my fellow union workers said that his wife stopped in their headquarters two days before election day, and that there were a couple of hundred people working on literature they were sending out. How can an organization that is unknown, secure so many people to work for them? I say they can't, unless they are paying the workers. If they were paying them, please tell me where they can get so much money? As I understand it, this organization sent pre-primary election literature to almost every voter in Orange County, several times. In addition they were running ads in all the newspapers, buying radio time and at least three paid television spots for Joe Shell. Checking the election returns against their recommendations, they sure did well. Too well! I probably am jumping to some kind of conclusion, but I don't like the word conservative. My union used to be conservative and we almost starved to death waiting for a pay raise. I'm a Republican Party man and do not like to see groups work outside the Party. One thing that is good may come out of it, I hear they will not back Nixon. Please give us the background, if you please. No other papers seem willing. Earl Freeman 218 Roach Ave. We'll do what we can for you, Mr. Freeman, however, I feel certain you are jumping to conclusions. As much as we may disagree with them, they have every right, as Americans, to speak and feel the way they do. There are many influential, prominent, wealthy, respectable and honorable Orange County men who are affiliated one way or another with the Coordinating Council. It is not an unusual thing for Americans to donate money and time to causes they feel are expanding. Someone told me today that Jim Townsend is still wearing his 'Joe Shell' button as a protest against Nixon and that he said the conservatives won't vote for Mr. Nixon or Mr. Kuchel unless they compromise with the conservatives. This I know they won't do. I have said for some time that the radicals are dangerous and that if their leaders ever get a following they could wreck the Party. Jim Townsend is such a leader and if he keeps the conservatives from going along with the Republicans, the Party will be wrecked. I will admit he has a lot of conservatives in Orange County, but I don't think he can keep them working with him now that the primary is over. I hope these conservatives will join with other good Republicans for a smashing victory in November. Oh yes, I am sure Joe Shell will join with Mr. Nixon as he has his eye on Senator Engle's seat in two years — so he'll play ball. I hope the conservatives will play it just as smart. We are not mad at them and do need their help. So throw away those Joe Shell buttons and wear a good one, the fight is on and lets work together. John C. Lorenz 810 N. Loara Anaheim, Calif.
