SIDELIGHTS No Bread With One Oddball By DORIS LEE What we need in our house is an oddball or two. Oddballs not only add color to a family group, but also cement it with strength of character. John Stuart Mills, the British essayist, said in 1859, "Eccentricity has always abounded when and where strength of character has abounded." What a terrific combination for family life — entertainment plus solidarity. I brought up the subject the other day as we sat in the kitchen waiting for me to get up and make dinner. Tony was putting the finishing touches on a coffee chiffon pie, Linda and I were munching yeast cakes, Chuck was locked up in the broom closet with the telephone and Charlie was curled up on the breakfast nook seat, his eyes half-closed. "What we need around here," I said, licking a yeast crumb from my finger, "is an oddball or two." "What for?" asked Linda. "Aren't we happy as we are?" Yes, but with eccentricity goes strength of character. And that we need — strength of character. Some of the great men of history were oddballs — Ben Franklin with his kite, Mayor LaGuardia with his fire engines. Do you realize if I had strength of character I'd be speeding around getting dinner instead of in my bedroom picking up all the hair rollers and pins you dropped all over the floor two hours ago." "I'll do it after dinner," she said, popping the last piece of yeast cake into her mouth. "Well, you'd better get it done before I go in there for my yoga exercises. There's hardly room to sit on the floor." "I've been thinking,' said Charlie from the depths of the breakfast nook, 'maybe we should get two Volkswagens instead of one convertible." "Whatever for?" I asked. "So you can have your own car," he said. "But I hate Volkswagens!" I cried, 'getting excited. 'They make me feel like I'm driving backwards." "Also, they wouldn't take up much room in the garage," he continued. "What room? Chuck's already laid claim to it with his 1953 MG and his 1930 Model A Ford." "Well, if he doesn't get them running pretty soon, he's going to have to get them out of there," he said, yawning again. "Gee," Linda murmured, clutching her stomach, "that yeast cake didn't hit me right. I feel like a loaf of bread." "You may hve eaten a moldy one," I said. Moss-Covered She clapped a hand over her or two." "What for?" asked Linda. "Aren't we happy as we are?" "Yes, but with eccentricity goes strength of character. And that we need — strength of character. Some of the great men of history were oddballs — Ben Franklin with his kite/ Mayor LaGuardia with his fire engines. Do you realize if I had strength of character I'd be speeding around getting dinner instead of sitting here eating yeast cakes?" "That's certainly true," said Charlie, yawning. "And if your father had it, he'd be out mowing the lawn right now." I added. "And Chuck would be out in the garage putting his car back together," said Linda. "Sure." I said, "and you'd be RUGS BYED CLEANED REPAIRD CLEAN CARPET NOW! WHILE ON VACATION LET US CLEAN YOUR BUGS! "Serving Northern Orange County for 14 Years" CHILD'S RUG WORKS LA 5-5039 laid claim to it with his 1933 MG and his 1930 Model A Ford." "Well, if he doesn't get them running pretty soon, he's going to have to get them out of there," he said, yawning again. "Gee," Linda murmured, clutching her stomach, "that yeast cake didn't hit me right. I feel like a loaf of bread." "You may hve eaten a moldy one," I said. Moss-Covered She clapped a hand over her mouth. "Ulp! Why didn't you tell me?" "I thought I had gotten rid of them all," I said. "I threw them in the sink and ran water over them. Cold water, of course. I was afraid hot water might make them rise and overflow the sink." "Isn't there some other way to improve my skin?" she asked bleakly. "You could eat celery but it might wreck your braces." "There she is!" exclaimed Tony, holding up the coffee pie piled high with whipped cream. "Looks like I'm the only one with strength of character around here. While you guys were talking I made myself useful." "I wouldn't put it like that exactly, I said. 'Why' didn't you make sphaghetti and meatballs?" The broom closet opened and Chuck emerged mopping his brow. "Gad, it's hot in there," he said. "Say, may I borrow your car tonight?" "I guess so. Want a piece of pie before dinner? We might as well eat it now. It'll be some time before dinner's ready. Move over, Linda. But don't wake up your father. We'll let him sleep awhile." "What kind of pie is it?" asked Chuck, getting down the pie plates. "Coffee," said Tony. "Coffee pie?" Chuck gave him a long look. "What are you, some kind of an oddball?" "Yeah, I guess so," he said, reddening with pleasure. —Who pays for advertising? Nobody. It pays for itself. Park Department Tap and Ballet C A new class in tap and ball for youngsters, six to 12 years is now being sponsored by the Anaheim Park and Recreation Department. The classes will held once a week for eight weeks. Those interested are reminded that they must register the child on the day, time and hour you want him/her to attend class. Kuchel Urges Wage Security A new move to make sure the workers on projects financed with Federal funds receive prevailing ages has been made in Courts by U. S. Senator Thomas H. Kuchel of California. As a persistent advocate of legalization which would prevent "joining" and cut-throat competition, the Senior California Senate has joined with his counterpart Senator Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota, the Democratic Whip, proposing legislation which would apply the Davis-Bacon prevailing wage law to any urban mass transit projects for which the Federal Government makes loans or grants. The transit legislation expected to reach the Senate in the near future, is of special importance to California since various provinces are designed to aid communities such as San Francisco and Los Angeles now trying to plan and build high-speed mass transportation systems.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Thursday, June 21, 1943 Heilbron Is Grad Speaker "The Changing Role of Education in California" was the theme of the commencement address delivered at Orange County State College by Louis H. Heilbron, Chairman of the Trustees of the California State Colleges, last Sunday. Speaking to 245 seniors, the largest graduating class in the State College's three-year history, Heilbron placed major emphasis on the importance of a liberal arts - humanities education, the changing role of California education, and the part the candidates for Bachelor of Arts degrees will be expected to play in this educational system. The chairman of the Board of Trustees proposed that the state colleges, as the principal institutions for the training of teachers in California, are uniquely equipped to engage in continuing textbook research and analysis, thereby serving the people of California and the education profession to a necessary and major degree. Style Show Set By Sing-O-Rama "MODERN MODES TO MEMORY MOODS" will be the theme of the musical fashion show to be presented by members of the Orange County Children's Sing-O-Rama, Sunday, June 24, at 2:30 p.m. in the Peek's Colonial Terrace Room under the direction of Dorothy Flanagan.

The occasion, a dessert-tea, will glorify the American child in attire ranging from beach wear to bridal party. Models, girls and boys, ranging in age from 2 to 16 years are all members of the Sing-O-Rama, and will also participate in the musical part of the program. Guest performers who will lend variety to the program include Jerry Dicks, 15-year old organist from Newport Beach, winner of the Exchange Clubs' Search for Talent Contests, conducted recently throughout Orange County. Second place winners of the contest, The Three Cardinals, outstanding trumpet players from Garden Grove High School, — Dennis Husted, Larry Miller, and Ken Hines, — will play their winning numbers. Nine-year old Mindy Gay Bureman of Garden Grove, winner of the Junior Division of the Search for Talent, will perform a Spanish traditional festival dance. A limited number of reservations are available for the affair. There is no admission charge and reservations may be made by phoning KE 5-1441. One of the intimately leveled against him, presumably suggested from his earl affiliations with the CIO, is that he may have some communication connections. The fact that the matter is from what he can determine, he is a Rep. McLean and a staunch and active supporter of Richard Nixon. Who's To Run The City? One member of the Plant Commission asked us a week ago, "What are we going to do about this guy. Are we going to let someone who has been the City for only six months us how to run it?" Well, six months or six hours Zehra is a homeowner and every right to be concerned with his property — and he certainly has not given any indication that he wants to run the City. This who level this charge seem unlikely concerned about 'who going to run the City' and one who of them are connected, one or another, with the City government. Chavos' charge that there is 'conflict of interest' between City and Linbrook was an illvised one, to say the least. Considering the background, certainly is excuseable. Chavos, his wife, Stella, and members of the Lincoln Park Civic Association have been battling Lin-Brook for almost eight years — since 1958. Some 20 public hearings have been have been held during this time, concerning variances, rezonings and expansion plans for the hardware store. These hearings have been bitter and strongly contested. Neither can think of the other without the taste of bitter gum. It has passed from the realm of logic to pure emotion. Mayor Rex Coons made a similar observation Tuesday... ANOTHER 'K' — Ronald W.

French Art of Drying Flowers To Be Taught The Anaheim Park and Recreation Department, constantly ex­panding their activities program, announces a new class. "Les Arts des Fleuers," will begin next Wednesday, for eight weeks. Those familiar, with this pro­gram say that the course is from early French art, now classed as a "lost art," in which flowers are preserved by certain drying processes and then arranged upon a suitable background (often fabric) and framed to form a picture. Depending upon selection and arrangement of flowers a tradi­ional or modern mood may be created. Included in the course will be flowers in miniature containers, accompanied by small pieces of driftwood, pebbles and tiny figurines. These miniatures often form charming ornaments for coffee tables, what-not shelves and the collections of hobbyists. The classes will begin Wednesday, from 9:30-11:30 a.m. at the Spencer House, 2650 W. Broadway. Fee for the series is $4.75. Pre-registration is required.

Assistant city attorney Joseph Geiler recalls going down to Lin-Brook in the earlier, hectic days of expansion, with the purpose of cracking down on them. So meteoric has been their growth that, although they have broken no laws, they have, on many occasions skated close to thin ice. The late councilman Joe Thompson, a year or so ago, reportedly became so angry when he saw Lin-Brook ussing City water to dampen the ground west of the store, where they were holdnig a do-it-yourself show, he turned the hydrant off himself. Free-Enterprise The fact is, though, that Lin-Brook is living proof that the free enterprise system still works for those who have the imagination and know how. And the majority of their problems can be centered on their almost fantastic growth. While this may not excuse them from some of the charges leveled against them by the Lincoln Park Civic Association, they certainly are not any more guilty than many less successful businesses. In many ways, they are in the same boat with Zehra — victims of their own success. Tuesday Chavos will meet with the City Council and the Planning Commission to answer the charge he made. Chances are the Coun­cil and Commission will take into consideration the events precipitating his outburst and his inexperience as a Planning Commissioner. and then come to the news papers with some solid facts? for those interested, we did take a surface check of Zehra and found nothing derogatory, man has, in fact, an impreslist of references and back-ground.

One of the intimations leveled against him, presumably suggested from his earlier affiliations with the CIO, is that he may have some communections. The fact of matter is, from what we determine, he is a Republican and a stanch and active reporter of Richard Nixon. Who's To Run The City? The member of the Planning Commission asked us a week or so ago, "What are we going to about this guy. Are we going to someone who has been in City for only six months tell how to run it?" All six months or six hours, a is a homeowner and has right to be concerned with property — and he certainly not given any indication that wants to run the City. Those level this charge seem terconcerned about 'who is to run the City' and many them are connected, one way other, with the City governing Chavos' charge that there is alict of interest' between the and Linbrook was an ill adone, to say the least. But dering the background, it only is excuseable. Chavos Vs Lin-Brook chavos, his wife, Stella, and members of the Lincoln Park Association have been using Lin-Brook for almost years — since 1858. Some public hearings have been held during that concerning variances, regions and expansion plans in hardware store. These hearings have been bitand strongly contested.

He In many ways, they are in the same boat with Zehra — victims of their own success. Tuesday Chavos will meet with the City Council and the Planning Commission to answer the charge he made. Chances are the Council and Commission will take into consideration the events precipitating his outburst and his experience as a Planning Commissioner. He was criticized 11 days ago for sitting on the Commission when the Lin-Brook item came up. He was told by a fellow Commissioner and that same area newsjaker that he had no right to set because he was personally involved. We questioned assistant city attorney Giesler and City Manager Keith Murdock concerning this. Giesler said he had the right, and Murdock concurred. Murdock added "Although Commissioners are not selected on a geographic basis, it is a consideration. He was a representative of his area." Coons Concerned Mayor Coons, although concerned with Chavos' charge, pointed out that he knew Chavos to be an honest and sincere man and that 'there has never been any questions concerning his ability and voting on the Commission'. Laughing, Coons recalled having made several ill-timed comments himself when he first came to the Council several years ago. "Sometimes it is hard, in the beginning, to realize the difference between saying something from the floor of the Council Chamber and doing the same thing sitting up there in a chair. Checking the validity of a statement printed in the newspaper, concerning seven members of the Planning Commission who supposedly approached the City Council prior to the day Chavos leveled his accusation and who asked that Chavos be removed from the Commission, we found from Mayor Coons that 'only three of four approached me and it was not to remove Chavos but because they were concerned with his emotional state concerning Lin-Brook'. Whatever the fate of Chavos Tuesday, we are convinced he will get a fair hearing from the Open House. 2000 W. Broadway. Fee for the series is $4.75. Pre-registration is required.

We are only condemning the contemptible rumor mongering and smears, the snide and unfounded insinuations and reports, and the general, all-around rabble rousing. It is often difficult to stick to facts when we allow ourselves to become involved emotionally, this is a common human falling; but those who are in posititions where such luxuryy others are guilty of a moral crime when they fail to contain themselves in public. (RHA) Letter Charges The City Council noted and read into the minutes of the meeting a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Robert Haneline, 3421 W. Ball Rd., Anaheim, condemning the Westridge Home Owners Association as a "pressure group". The letter, signed by Mrs. Haneline, purportedly represents many homeowners in the Westridge who are not members of the association. Mrs. Haneline's letter referred to a story in the Bulletin concerning the hospital deficiency in the city and the referral of a group of doctors who want to build a hospital in the Ball Rd.-Knott Ave. area. She charged the Council with accepting Westridge as a 'pressure group'. The truth of the matter is, however, that the Council merely accepted Westridge as the only organized representative body in the area, and since the proposal for the hospital concerned Calvin Pebley property, which Westridge fought several weeks ago, it was only a reasonable action on the part of the Council to refer the doctors to the group, in an effort to allow them to iron out their differences, if any. A reporter commented, at the press table, the unusual action of the Council in reading the letter into the minutes. public hearings have been held during that concerning variance, re-orgs and expansion plans the hardware store.
