California State Library P. O. Box 2037 Garrauntoft, California Anaheim Established in 1870 ... Published Continuously in Volume 91, Number 10 Anaheim Gears Police Training Remunerative to Orange County SANTA ANA (OCNS) — A program designed to encourage higher standards in police training has also resulted in financial reward to Orange County. Sheriff James Musick has been presented with a check for $2,196.80, the department's share of the 1962 allocation from the California Peace Officers' Training Fund. Orange County is one of 200 cities and counties that had adhered on a voluntary basis to California Peace Officer standards and training program. During the 20-months the program has been in operation jurisdictions that adhered to the standards have received a total of United Fund Honors Boy 'Energetic Heart' Victim (Picture on Page 2) William (Engineer Bill) Stulla, Los Angeles television personality, was headlined at the kickoff luncheon last week of the Anaheim-Western Communities United Fund Drive. The TV performer introduced David Korsen, guest of honor, and told the boy's story. On July 4, 1962, millions of people across the country were celebrating the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Young Korsen was not among the throngs celebrating, however. Instead, he was fighting — fighting for a cause as dear to him as the cause the Revolutionists fought for 186 years before — his life. Today, for the first time, the story of David Korsen's battle against death is being told. It is the story of a boy's heroic triumph through a crucial double open heart operation. David's heart was just too energetic. It worked three times as hard as a normal heart; it pumped three times as much blood to the body as a normal heart. And in plain, non-medical terms, it was just over-exerting itself. The inevitable result was death, unless something could be done for David. That "something" was a touchy open heart operation. So, on the 4th of July, this operation was performed. David's body was "frozen" during the operation. Whole-blood was injected into his body during the tense ordeal. The operation was completed, David was "unfrozen" and things looked bright. But, one of the auxiliary muscles of the heart, a tiny band, slipped. Second Operation This forced a second operation — 30 minutes after the first had been completed. David was again "frozen" and another operation was performed. Today, David has a normal life expectancy. He lives a normal life. The whole-blood program of the Red Cross is the primary reason for success of these miraculous operations. David, a straight-A student at Bethany Baptist School in Long Beach is planning his life toward a goal of saving the lives of others. Gazette Honors Carrier Youth Named Newspaper Boy of Week Larry Williams, 13, student of Fremont Junior High School, was this week named "Newspaper Boy of the Week" by the Gazette. Larry takes the utmost pride in his work of delivering the Gazette to residents of the area bounded by Los Angeles, Santa Ana and Water Sts., and Harbor Blvd. "I especially like this route," stated Larry, "as the people on the route are so very friendly and everyone tells me hello." Larry, who says he "just likes people," shows it by his broad grin and friendly attitude. How does Larry spend the money he earns on his route? "I've been saving as much as I can because I want to buy one of those new 10-speed continental bikes," Larry told the Gazette. He confided that the bike would cost between $50 and $90 and that he hoped to have it by Christmas. Shrewd business man that he is the Gazette believes he will make it. im Gazette Continuously in Orange County's "Number One" City For 92 Years Anaheim, California, Wednesday, October 17, 1962 ears for 'SOS' Poli Oral V To Open The countdown has started!

A person who has had Salk injections may be immune to polio but still "carry" the disease to other persons. The Sabin vaccine not only immunizes the individual, but also prevents him from "carrying" polio viruses. The Orange County Medical Association, sponsor of the SOS program, is urging all persons to use pre-registration forms which can be found printed elsewhere in the Gazette. The forms also are available in many markets, and If each car brings a full load of passengers, the time spent parking will be cut to a minimum. The medical association is suggesting that persons who live within walking distance of a clinic leave their cars at home. This would help keep down congestion in the parking areas near clinic sites. When an individual arrives at an SOS clinic, he will fall into a moving line, pass a dispensing table where he will receive a cube of sugar with the vaccine, on it, place the cube in his mouth, dis- Four Anaheim Men Named To Hanna Committee Formation of a Republican Committee to Elect Richard T. Hanna to Congress from the new 34th Congressional District, (west Orange County) has been announced by co-chairmen M. A. (Bud) Beers and Burr Williams, both of Anaheim. "Assemblyman Hanna, because of his outstanding record in the State Legislature and his six and one-half years of devotion to the problems of Orange County, is the one candidate whom all Republicans can openly and honestly support," the committee co-chairman stated. "Hanna's work in the fields of housing, education, veterans affairs and employment has been outstanding and his efforts to bring new industries to Orange County untiring. He has been a real legislator for all the people of the county and his experience and knowledge are deserving of the kind of bi-partisan support he has always received in the past." "For these reasons, a number of active Republicans, have volunteered to serve on an executive board for the committee," he co-chairman said "because they The medical association is suggesting that persons who live within walking distance of a clinic leave their cars at home. This would help keep down congestion in the parking areas near clinic sites. When an individual arrives at an SOS clinic, he will fall into a moving line, pass a dispensing table where he will receive a cube of sugar with the vaccine on it, place the cube in his mouth, dispose of the paper cup in which he received the sugar cube, and leave by a clinic exit. He also will have an opportunity to donate 25 cents a dose if he is able to pay. If he fails to receive a pre-registration form, or if he forgets it, he will be able to fill one out as he passes through the clinic line. Parents with infants will go through special lines in which the babies will receive the vaccine from a medicine dropper. Volunteer Operated In every community, the clinics will be operated by volunteers. These clinic staffs will include physicians, nurses, pharmacists and other civic minded citizens—all donating their time to the SOS program. The list of participating groups varies from community to community, but throughout the county, the program is being aided by Boy Scouts, police representatives, service clubs, women's clubs, the Chamber and Junior Chamber of Commerce, fraternal organizations, church groups, professional auxiliaries, elderly citizens groups—and the list goes on and on. Largest Program The program is seen as one of the largest community efforts ever undertaken. Each community, through local volunteers, is planning and conducting its own clinics. Local medical authorities feel that a successful program — that is, if 75 to 80 per cent of all citizens over the age of six weeks turn out for the oral vaccine — the chances of an epidemic ever striking Orange County will be very slight.
