California State Libary 4 P. O. Box 2037 Sacramento 9, California Happy Thanksgiving Anaheim Established in 1870 ... Published Continuou Anaheim, California, Wednesday, November 21, 1962 Davis States Anaheim Women Join City’s Role In SW Annex. Anaheim’s role in the proposed “Southwest Annexation” was clarified by Assistant City Manager Bob Davis in a talk to members and guests attending a meeting of the Walt Disney School P.T.A. men’s group, last night. The program was held just 14 days prior to the annexation election set for Tuesday, December 11. Following a brief address, Davis answered a number questions put to him by property owners involved in the annexation proceedings. The area designated as the “Southwest Annexation” is comprised of an area bounded by the Southern Pacific Railroad track on the South; Gilbert on the west; Brookhurst on the east; and the Anaheim City limits north of Lincoln. An inhabited area, it covers 476 acres or .738 square miles. Fate of the proposed annexation will be determined by 2400 registered voters at the special election set for next month. Eight of Anaheim’s “leading ladies” this week joined some 45 group leaders of Orange County in organizing an estimated 400 volunteer researchers of the American Cancer Society’s Orange County Branch who have “turned detective.” Those from the Colony City who are “ramrodding the researchers” are Mrs. Byrl Brock, 717 N. Pine; Mrs. Orvin F. Coombe, 1546 S. Nutwood; Mrs. Howard Louden, 1125 Park Ave.; Mrs. Richard Husmann, 9732 Stonybrook Dr.; Mrs. Robert Davis, 860 Marjan; Mrs. William Hodgson, 1521 Redwood Ave.; Mrs. Robert Immegart, 1216 Haven Dr.; and Mrs. Douglas Norton, 1217 S. Nutwood Ave. All Volunteers The researchers, all volunteers, are making the third annual follow-up among 5,852 Orange Countians helping in a six-year nationwide study to detect evidence linking living habits with cancer. With briefing on how to conduct the follow-up completed, the researchers are checking on the location of the participants and statistical information. Maintain Contact As the study progresses it comes increasingly difficult to maintain contact with all whogan the study in 1959. But Orange County researchers so far ha lost track of less than one half one per cent of the original participants, said Dr. Maurice Mville, president of the county ACS branch. Mulville said the study — largest of its kind undertaken history — will try to correlate his Americans live, their occupations, personal habits, family backgrounds, medical histories and other diverse elements to possible origins of cancer. One Million Enrolled More than one million persons across the nation are enrolled in the study. Information obtained from the volunteers is compiled in New York headquarters where the data is exhaustively analyzed by electronic computers to determine causes of cancer and mean to prevent it. COLONY CRIER by Edd Wilson Anaheim-Fullerton COLONY CRIER by Earl Wilson Count your blessings! Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day. The one day of the entire year that is set aside for us to sit back and reflect on the good things that have happened to us during the last 364. I am in no way attempting to be facetious, but it has always bothered me that we should be advised by proclamation or given by tradition to select only one day out of a year to return thanks for all the wonderful things that we as Americans enjoy every single day. I think that every day should be a day of Thanksgiving and if there is anyone that disagrees with me, I would be most happy to discuss the matter with them. Every American should give thanks that we live in a country which recognizes the dignity and importance of every individual and which upholds the belief that its citizens should have the right to make his own free choice. We should expressly give thanks for our (if you will excuse the expression) "democratic" way of life. And coming from a die-hard Republican, that is quite a concession in itself. Have you every really counted your blessings? I don't mean just the material things in life like a nice home, a car, the clothes we wear, the good food we eat, etc. I am referring to such things as good health, a loving family, and real, honest-to-goodness friends. Perhaps I have more to be thankful for than most, as I have all of these. I have a loving wife, six happy, healthy children and so many true friends that I cannot count them all. I am richer, by far, than most wealthy men. That is why I believe that every day is Thanksgiving day for me. It might even be that I have a different philosophy on life than most persons. Something I learned while serving in the Marine Corps during World War II and Korea... "It never, ever gets so bad but what it can't get worse." And when I dwell upon this, I think of the story of the man who complained about not having any shoes to wear... until he saw the man that had no feet. So, dear readers, if you will, permit me the privilege of declaring that for yours truly, every day is my day for Thanksgiving. Thought for the Week: "God grant me the courage to change the things I can change... the serenity to accept the things I cannot change... and find wisdom to know the difference."
