ANAHEIM — the H Lions Club Donates Building From Square Dance Proceeds By FRANK EVANS Square dancing has just about paid off for the Anaheim Lions Club — but, one more class is needed to complete a project. Three years ago, the club realized that the city didn’t have a building that could accommodate recreational activities such as ceramics or square dancing. So, this group started making plans for such a site and felt they would eventually hand the property over to the Park and Recreation Department. This building, they decided, would serve the community — and belong to the community. In order to get this idea off the drawing board, a square dance class was decided to help kick off the program. That was back in 1958. Well, this dream is just about over and final plans are now in the hands of the city department for their final approval. It’s been a bit of a struggle for the Lions Club and especially for Jim Enloe, who started “calling” 15 years ago and who helped get the first class going. The initial group had over 150 sign-ups and since then, over 1200 persons have taken instructions. But, it was the money from these classes that made possible the building to be erected at La Palma Park. The $100.00 donation from the Senior Citizens Club has also helped the cause. Concerning the new site, it will be a one-story building and will was laid. Since then, however, due to lack of funds, future stages came to a halt. But, now the Lions Club is ready to go ahead again, but needs help. The Lions Club will be celebrating its 40th birthday this October and sure would like to see the project completed. According to Jim Enloe, “If we could get one more big square dance class together, I’m sure the building would be up in no time. But, our success depends on a good turnout.” “We’ll be starting another square dance class Sept. 11 at Sunny Hills Barn, Fullerton. The barn is located across from St. Jude’s Hospital. The classes will be $1.50 per couple per week”, he said. Enloe also mentioned that those who sign up will learn over 100 basic steps and will be able to square dance to just about every caller in the country. “We’ve done quite well so far”, said Enloe. “I know that the new square dancers will sure enjoy themselves and besides they will be responsible in helping open the doors to the new recreation building.” Those who were instrumental in getting the project on its feet were Mayor Rex Coons, then Lions president; Allen La Mont, Clyde Martin, Jerry Gover, Leavitt Ford, Lloyd Trapp, Recreation Superintendent and Bob Mungall, former Planning Director, Thorny Piersall, Public Works Director, is in charge of securing a con- LIONS CHECK PLANS — heim Lion’s Club are show for new recreation building Park and Recreation Depa right are Stan Whieldon, p loe.

It celebrated its 1,000,000 birthday—attendance-wise, that is. Playground records in attendance for the past five years revealed that a total of 1,200,570 youngsters have taken part in the recreation program on the 20 playsites since 1958. The Park and Recreation Department joined this select group when the July attendance of 129,571 put it way over the million mark. However, Lloyd Trapp, Superintendent of Recreation said recently that the total attendance mark and total participation program, which includes everything from tiny tots to the Senior Citizens group, hit a new all-time high mark for July. A total of 358,985 persons have enjoyed some sort of recreation sponsored by the department during the past month. "We feel our program here in Anaheim takes everyone into consideration and just about every sort of entertainment and recreation is available. We feel we have included everyone in planning our recreation program," Trapp said. Children's Home Society is statewide agency which serves any child in need of adoption including children like Jimmy whose anticipated life span is known. Because it has the support of the Anaheim - Western counties United Fund and the Anaheim Auxiliary members, Society need not turn down child who can benefit from adoption. Last year, 26 children were placed in foster homes in the Anaheim area by the Children's Home Society. Some of these children like Jimmy, had medical problems; many, however, had physical handicaps. Only parents in distress give their children. Eight out of ten these mothers are unmarried many of them teen-agers. You confused, often alone, they may help in finding the best solution. 31 such natural parents in Anaheim area were given consultation by the Society last year. Adoptive parents accepted the Children's Home Society not required to meet any financial qualifications as to income, occupation, education, housing or social status. A happy marriage sound health, emotional stability and a genuine interest in these adoptive parents must possess. 44 couples in the Anaheim area who expressed their interest in adopting a child through the Society were interviewed in 1976.
