Sidelights Apple a Day Is Good Fix The experts are making at least one concession to the old-fashioned health rules. An apple a day does keep the doctor away, they're admitting now. They've taken three years and the cooperation of 1381 college students to establish something that old grandmothers just know by instinct — apples are good for you. To arrive at this less than sensational conclusion they made these college students (from one university) munch apples every day for three years and then compared the state of their health with the rest of the student body of over 17,000. The result was an amazing reduction, in the apple kids, in the two principal types of illness among the student body — upper respiratory infections and dension-pressure. Now, it' simple enough to figure out what's in the apple to combat infection: it's Vitamin C, say the experts. But what has them stymied is the part about the tension pressure. Is there a tranquilizer built into the apple, or what? Naturally, they're not going to guess, so they're putting it through the test tubes now, but in theorizing they've suggested that maybe the simple act of munching is soothing to the nerves. for home consumption. This is what I expect but not always what I get. If somebody's taste buds demand an apple and not a plum, then either he leaves the room, or the apple does, or I do. There just isn't enough room for all three of us. "Why don't you eat one too?" Tony asked the other day after a particularly emotional scene. 'Maybe it works like onions. If you eat them too, you don't mind them so much." "I've tried that; it doesn't work," I snapped. 'Biting into it sets my teeth on edge." He gave his apple a silent lick and threw me a penetrating look. "You should eat them anyway. Once you get through the first bite they'll calm your nerves," he said. "What do you mean, calm my nerves?" I asked suspiciously. He polished the apple carefully on his sleeve and examined it with glowing eyes. 'Whenever I feel all keyed up I eat an apple; thn I'm fine again,' he said. 'It's like a tranquilizer,' I said. Habit-Forming He nodded. "I think there's done in it. Block your ears, I'm Muncher's Fun Maybe for the muncher it is, but not necessarily for the listener. Far from soothing my nerves, the sound of someone biting into an apple shatters my tranquility and fires up my tension-pressure to the bursting point. The snap of my nerves and the snap of apple skin under the pressure of the central incisors can be heard simultaneously every time. If I didn't already know that apples are good for you I'd never keep them in the house. But since they're a necessary item for the promotion of good health I buy them every week. However, I expect people to eat them in their lunches at school where they're completely out of the range of my sensitive ears. And I keep nice, silent things like plums and bananas on hand "What do you mean, calm my nerves?" I asked suspiciously. He polished the apple carefully on his sleeve and examined it with glowing eyes. 'Whenever I feel all keyed up I eat an apple; then I'm fine again,' he said. 'It's like a tranquilizer,' I said. Habit-Forming He nodded. "I think there's dope in it. Block your ears, I'm going to take a bite." I blocked my ears and watched him sink his teeth into the apple, pull off a big section and chew it, his face a picture of pure ecstasy. 'I have an idea.' I said. "Let me have a bite while my ears are blocked and see what happens." He held out the apple and I bit into it. It wasn't quite the same as his bite because it exhosed somewhat inside my head, but it helped. "I could wear ear plugs." I said, feeling tranquil for the first time in the presence of apples. 'Sure,' he said, heading for the door. 'And meantime, maybe those experts will invent an apple that eats like a marshmallow." Watch the Classified Columns.

Green Anaheim Students Win Company Awards AHS Student Body Cabinet Assumes Duties This Week Working to serve the best interests of more than 2300 students is the main job of the Anaheim High School Student Cabinet. This year's cabinet is composed of Paul Frank, student body president; Ty Salness, vice president; Nancy Decker, secretary of records; Judi White, treasurer; Charla Hindley, Girls' League; Deanna Mason, secretary of safety and welfare; Pete Dinkler, secretary of student officers; Carl Mabs, secretary of assemblies; Doug Daniels, Colonist Club president; Janet Kier, pep commissioner; and Kirk Hanen, Anoranco representative. Because of the varied responsibilities of the cabinet, its members are representative of many different facets of student life. For instance, the vice president presides over the student council; the secretary of records is in charge of all correspondence; the treasurer is in charge of student body finances; the secretary of assemblies is responsible for school assemblies and pep rallies; the secretary of student affairs coordinates school dances, et cetera; the Colonist Club president represents the interests of all the school's at inter-scholastic meetings; the Girls' League president performs the same service for the girls; the safety and welfare secretary is chairman of the Safety and Welfare Committee; the pep commissioner acts as liaison between the cheerleaders and songleaders and the cabinet; and the Anoranco representative is the editor of the school paper and is in charge of publicity. The student body president presides at all assembly as well as cabinet meetings. These duties are all in addition to the regular twice-a-week cabinet meetings. Sponsors Three weeks ago this 11-member group acted upon its initial business of the year. Since that time it has sponsored an all-school dance, prepared its budget for the coming year, and supervised the sale of student body cards, a major source of revenue for the student body fund. However, much of the ground work necessary for success was laid during the summer, when several business meetings were held and potential problems were discussed. Also during the summer, cabinet members attended a special leadership camp in the interest of gaining an insight to many of the techniques, as well as problems, of student government. The cabinet's customary duties include responsibility for the execution of any legislation created by the Student Council, the legislative branch of Anaheim student government; responsibility for the maintenance of a high standard of inter-scholastic relations; enforcement of eligibility rules in regard to student officers; and controlling the expenditure of all student body funds. Besides these duties the cabinets potential plans for the 1962-63 school year include: revision of Why all the fuss about the red Fund? What good is it? needs it anyway?

Anaheim Man Named As AF Reserve Major It was promotion time last week for Orange County Air Force Reserve officers of the 8346th Air Reserve Squadron, Lt. Col. Worden A. Davis, commanding officer, announced. Highlight of the ceremonies held at the lighter-than-air facility (MCAS) was the promotion of two officers to the rank of full colonel Former Lt. Cols. Daniel C. McNaughton and John M. O'Brien are the newly-elevated colonels. Col. McNaughton is former Santa Ana College president and presently chairman of the Education Dept. at Long Beach State College. Col. O'Brien is head of Finance at Nortronics Division of Northrop Corporation in Anaheim. Other promotions include new majors: William H. Willis, 2968 Ceylon Dr. Costa Mesa (employed at Aerojet); J. E. Pritchett, 2102 Valencia, Santa Ana (Beach Amusement machines): Fred M. Bray, 1382 Bernett Way, Garden Grove (North American Aviation); Robert Grulaugh, 1141 W. Vermont, Anaheim Educators Worried Over Rising Cost Of Schools SENATOR JOHN MURDY JR. 35th Senatorial Dist. Several school administrators in Southern California have indicted a concern over rising school funding costs and the present module allowance maintained by the State Local Allocations Board. The Board, of which I am the-Chairman, has decided to maintain the present allowance during a report by the staff, recommending a change. For the last quarter of 1962, the bills are anticipated to remain but the same level as they are now. Costs have increased gradually this year and are at the point now where any further increase would put it into the next allowance schedule for state aid or another five per cent higher cost range. SIGHT RISE The Allocations Board admits that costs have risen slightly in recent months because of new wage settlements in the building industry. But it usually takes a 2.5 per cent increase in labor costs to produce a 1 per cent over all increase in construction costs. Our quarterly report states that there is nothing in the present trend of the construction market to indicate premium prices on bids. The labor supply remains adequate and materials are plentiful. Construction volume is moderate above a year ago in most localities, but many contractors desire additional work. It is our feeling that school costs will main at the present level during the final quarter of this year. Additional labor increases are not forecast and we anticipate no rise in cost of materials. Lumber may show a seasonal cost decline. These factors, plus a seasonal drop in new projects, is likely to result in slightly more competitive bids during the coming months. The Allocations Board is thus on record today as retaining the present cost allowance schedule, and we have instructed the staff to keep school costs under close surveillance and report any immediate jump in building costs for appropriate action. United Fund Contributions Take Place In Youth Services Why all the fuss about the Unit-Fund? What good is it? Who does it anyway? Have you ever used yourself these questions, or did someone else with similar ties? Sometimes it helps, when trying assess the value of an institution, to see how life would be with this same institution. Think that it would be like without the United Fund in our area. Think it would affect our lives and coming problems. As for the giving public, absolute chaos would reign, with 30 to 40 different agencies making separate pleas for funds. Everyone in the Anaheim-Western Communities area would be confused beyond belief as to the agencies most in need of our support and interest. In the final analysis, a number of vital, though perhaps less well-known services to local people would go without support. Official arguments for and against the 25 propositions you will vote on in November have been released by the Secretary of State, Frank Jordan. There are a Why all the fuss about the Unit-Fund? What good is it? Who needs it anyway? Have you ever needed yourself these questions, or did someone else with similar queries? Sometimes it helps, when trying to assess the value of an institution, to see how life would be with this same institution. Think that it would be like without the Unit-Fund in our area. Think that it would affect our lives and lives of those around us. One thing is certain — we could step back in the past some years. We would leap from one back into disorder and confusion. There was no Anaheim-Western Communities United Fund, one of our vital youth health welfare services would be duplicated by well meaning but dependent minded agencies. Other services would be complete-disregarded or lost. Without the United Fund, there would be no mechanism to select needed agency to do a particular job or set of jobs, nor would there be a central planning force to foresee the need of new pioneering services to meet DANGEROUS last-minute signaling is a dangerous driving habit, says the automobile Club of Southern California.

Everyone in the Anaheim-Western Communities area would be confused beyond belief as to the agencies most in need of our support and interest. In the final analysis, a number of vital, though perhaps less well-known services to local people would go without support for lack of understanding and funds. Lets go one step further, what if there were no youth, health or welfare agencies at all? No Salvation Army, no Children's Hospital, no Visiting Nurse Association or no Red Cross. These are but four of the sixteen agencies in the local United Fund campaign. To sum it up in one word, we'd be in a MESS. Who needs the United Fund? We all do! Official arguments for and against the 25 propositions you will vote on in November have been released by the Secretary of State, Frank Jordan. There are a number that are quite controversial and in need of research. As of now I am definitely opposed to Propositions 18 and 23 and you will find my name among the authors of the negative arguments. Voters in California during the June Primary election apparently were a little bit undecided on who and what they voted for or against. There were 298,033 write-in votes. By comparison in 1954 there were 41,343 and in 1958 there were 63,072 write-in votes.
