COLONY CRIER by Earl Wilson Now that the political rat-race is over and elections are a thing of the past... at least for another couple of years, I can look forward to opening my morning mail without sorting through literally "tons" of political correspondence. This election proved only one thing to me and that is... to the spoilers belong the victory. I haven't seen so much mud thrown since I stood in the pouring down rain at Del Mar and watched the second half of my daily double slip and slide his way into eighth position in a nine-horse race. As I look back on it, however, I see where the jockey emerged from that race a lot cleaner than some of our politicians who placed only second-best. Mud-slinging has become such a popular political pastime that in the heat of the race it is oftimes difficult to tell the candidates without a program. Midway in this last campaign, I found myself wanting to shout, "Will the real Dick Nixon stand up." Charges and counter-charges were dealt with such dexterity that I found I could almost edit all the copy that came across my desk by just changing a name here and there and substituting one political party for another. In fact, it hardly mattered if one headline got on the wrong story for they all read the same. I suppose that if you have read this far, you are saying that I must have voted for the wrong man. Well, you're wrong! I voted for the right man, he just didn't win that's all. Is it my fault that there were 10,000 more Democrats registered in Orange County and that one of them might have cancelled my vote by voting the Democratic ticket? I am not a sore loser and so, like the Dodgers, I can only say, "wait until next time." I recall so well the words of my old gunnery sergeant in the Marine Corps as he gave us instructions on the wearing of the camouflage uniform. "Men, this time it will be BROWN SIDE OUT!" Going from politics to food is just like going from the ridiculous to the sublime. Especially for someone who loves to eat, such as myself. I feel I must mention it here just how much I enjoyed eating at Anaheim's famed Chung King's Restaurant the other day. The food was delicious and the service outstanding. Only one thing went wrong. I do not believe in seances ouija boards, horoscopes, crystal balls, reading of tea leaves, or... fortune cookies. My convictions in this matter were supported to the utmost when I extracted the following message from my fortune cookie: "A male admirer is concealing his affections for you." Need I say more? Thought for the Week: Life is not a cup to be drained... it is a measure to be filled. Richard W. Gay, vice president and manager of the Anaheim main office, stated that his office will begin sending checks out tomorrow to the 3044 depositors in the area who participated in the annual Christmas savings program. The local savings are part of a record $75.3 million in Bank of America Christmas Club deposits accumulated by a half million Californians during the past 12 months. This year's total surpasses the previous high in the bank's 39-year-old Christmas savings program by nearly $3 million. The previous high was set last year. Statewide, the average check will amount to $150.30 Some 255,000 Southern Californians will receive a total of $38.3 million while in the north, checks amounting to $37 million will go to 245,000 depositors. Although most depositors spend their savings on gifts, many use the accumulated funds to pay year-end taxes, insurance premiums, or winter vacation expenses. Petitions for Yorba Annex Petitions regarding proposed annexation of Yorba Linda to the city of Anaheim are being circulated this week urging the signatures of residents who believe that the annex would be advantageous to the area.

A total of 25 per cent of all registered voters in the area is required in order to present the request for annexation to the city council. A 30-day period was allotted for securing the necessary signatures. eim Gazette published Continuously in Orange County's "Number One" City For 92 Years ages Anaheim, California, Wednesday, November 14, High School Teacher Board V Pending By DORIS LEE The budding career of a year Anaheim teacher hung in the ance last night when the boa trustees at Magnolia High Scl met to decide his fate in his re suspension for requiring stud to make judgements on basic ligious beliefs.

Entertainment Guide For America's 'HUB OF HAPPINESS' Home City Of DISNEYLAND Another Suspended Board Withholds Decision Pending Further Study By DORIS LEE the budding career of a young Anaheim teacher hung in the ballet last night when the board oftees at Magnolia High School to decide his fate in his recent pension for requiring students make judgements on basic reus beliefs.

Superintendent Interviewinged Interviewed on the subject by the GAZZETTE, Supt. Paul W. Cook emphasized that the suspension was not a reflection on the moral character of the teacher. "He's basically a decent person, sincere and dedicated," said Cook. "In fact, he impressed me a being a religious person himself. But he's young and inexperienced, and lacks good judgment." the GAZETTE. He said he didn't wish to jeopardize the teacher's chances for obtaining employment elsewhere. The basis of suspension, according to Cook, was "unprofessional conduct" arising out of "extreme lack of judgement bringing disgrace on the whole school system." Students were questioned orally about their religious beliefs in the senior problems classes, questions such as, "Do you believe in the existence of God?" "Was Jesus Christ a literal son of God?" "Is there any truth in religion?" and "Was Jesus Christ Anaheim Red Cross Steps Up Training The Anaheim Chapter of the American Red Cross began steps up its normal efforts this week to recruit and train volunteers to conduct safety and nursing programs. This is in keeping with the American Red Cross plan to better its services to the U.S. need Forces while the nation's network of chapters stands ready for any possible emergency action resulting from the recent Cuban crisis. Robert Powell, Chairman of the Anaheim Chapter, stated that he was received from Washington, D.C., to step up the traditional health, welfare and safety programs of the American Red Cross throughout the entire country. Red Cross officials began immediately to intensify their non-daily operations with military authorities and officials of the government agencies. Information from NationaL Hermann, Mrs. E.

Paul W. Cook emphasized that the suspension was not a reflection on the moral character of the teacher. "He's basically a decent person, sincere and dedicated," said Cook. "In fact, he impressed me a being a religious person himself. But he's young and inexperienced, and lacks good judgement." Cook said he did not believe the instructor was trying to promulgate his own religious beliefs. "It was an effort to get the student to think seriously of religion in general," he said. The teacher's basically sincere attitude was the reason for withholding identification, Cook told It violates the belief that we in public schools, where there are students of every type of religious faith, have no right to discuss personal religious convictions," Cook told the GAZZETTE. Asked why the teacher wasn't merely reprimanded and allowed to continue teaching since his intentions were good, Cook replied. Second Go-Round "Because this is the second 'go round' with this teacher. We did reprimand him on the sex education issue. We just can't allow these things to continue happening." The question of whether or not to enforce suspension is left to the board. Cook told the GAZZETTE. If it is enforced, the teacher may choose to oppose it, in which case the board will have to bring formal charges against him in court. If the teacher resigns, he may be given work of a non-teaching nature in the district until his resignation becomes effective in January. Then he is free to apply for employment in another school district. "Since this is the teacher's first year of teaching in Anaheim, he is on a probationary status, and his employment could be terminated at the end of the school year in June." Cook concluded.
