ANAHEIM — the H Youngsters Dash For Strawberries ANAHEIM — Senior leaders, Ray Beatty, Barry Coburn and JoAnn Campbell, out at Twila Reid playground, found that recreation isn't limited to simply playing softball. For they found the 35 early arrivals at their area the other day not in the playground but on the other side of the fence in the 25-1 acre property of Mr. Ted Elchandy — picking strawberries! But after a bit of inquiry the leaders discovered hiatus the towner had given permission to the youngsters to gather the berries. By noon, over 50 youngsters, with ages varying from 6-14 were carrying everything from bags to buckets into the strawberry patc According to one of the leaders, they "were picking the berries so fast, carrying them home and returning for more action, that one would think they were trying to clean out the entire 25 acres by nightfall." "We're going to plant a new crop and since we have to spade this crop under, we gave a few youngsters the "OK" to start picking. Originally only two youngsters ap proached me," he said, "and asked if they could get a 'few' berries. I said all right, but the word sure got around." By late evening, the strawberry patch was loaded — with even mommies and daddies doing their share of the picking.

Palma, Anaheim — 9035 Cerritos Ave., at Magnolia, Staton the Hub of HAPPINESS — at Department Breaks Ground for Largest Park Shadeless Parks Spark Questions Why don't Anaheim parks have trees? The Park Department has received many calls from citizens asking why so few city parks have adequate shade. Dick Kamphefner, park development coordinator, reports that he tells complaining people that trees do not grow overnight. "Park development is a long-range program," he said. "Any park is 100 per cent more usable and aesthetically pleasing when trees have matured, but patience is a virtue." Kamphefner finds that most complaints come from people who have recently arrived in Anaheim from the east coast. "One call in particular," he said, "mentioned the Crone-Loara parksite. It was necessary to point out to this lady that the park is less than one year old, is 8.7 acres in size, and now has approximately 230 trees planted within its boundaries. "Providing the majority of these trees withstand the onslaught of children and the yearly Santana winds, we should have a regular arboretum in ten years," he said.
