SIDELIGHTS Who's Got the Bell Button? By DORIS LEE We haven't gone house-hunting in seven years. We bought our house in 1955, settled down in it and haven't so much as glanced at another house since. Consequently, we haven't kept abreast of the latest trends in home-building, and certain improvements and innovations have escaped our notice. All of which doesn't matter to us. After all, we have indoor plumbing and electric lights just like everybody else. Anything beyond that is just gilding the lily, we feel. However, ignorance is not always bliss, and there are times when a little inside information would stand us in good stead. One of those times happened to me recently when I tried to gain entrance to one of these futuristic fantasies where a play rehearsal was being held. The owner gave me detailed instructions for getting there. As far as the front door, that is. After that I was on my own. I had no trouble finding the house and spent the short trip from the car to the front door congratulating myself on my razor-keen sense of direction. False Front The front side of the house gave no immediate hint of the complexity of its innards. Its straight lines, forming a shallow "L," in the be a doorbell here somewhere. I decided to conduct a systematic search. Starting at the lower left side of the door, I led my gaze carefully up the wall, over the door and down the other side. No results. The thought struck me that it might be around the corner. I peered around the "L". Nothing there but the house number and the mailbox. I took up my position at the door again and sighed, staring absently at the little light. The little light! The doorbell? No, it couldn't be. It must be the porch light or something. Still, it didn't throw much light for a porch light. I tapped my chin reflectively with my finger. Well, why not? I'd tried everything else. Glancing foolishly over my shoulder I gave the light a gingerly poke with my finger. It was the doorbell! I heard an unmistakable ding-dong from deep inside the house. Booby Trap I stepped back smiling and waited. There was a short silence, then a frenzied buzzing broke the quiet and the little light began to blink furiously. I jumped back, staring wild-eyed at the light and wondering if I should cut and run. Finally, the door opened and the owner stared at me curiously. "Did I set off a burglar alarm?" I asked timorously. 8. J. Davis, well-known for B. Dreyfus is seriously cooring the propriety of erect brick building on Center street removing the buildings now cupped by Mr. Mendelson and Ey. He is now in San Francisco and it is expected he will write a few days giving his decision he does build it will be a story building but large enough for two stores. One of them be occupied by Goodman Rimpau. It is also said that Kroeger contemplates building another brick structure adjoin his hall. If these buildings do up it will add wonderfully to general appearance of Cone street and of the town in general. President Hayes has in the name of Harrison Gray for confirmation by the senator collector of customs at San Diego. Mr. Otis is editor of the S Barbara Press; and from a reading of that paper we come to consider its editor in light of old acquaintance, take the privilege of congratulating him. Paul Oeker, the gentleman exhibited the Edison phonograph here, has written a very fine ter to the Stats Zeitung about heim. In one sentence he says "Take it all in all, Anaheim in home of contentment and happiness, gained through try and perseverance; there tue reigns supreme and even one exhibits a desire to better condition of himself and fellow men." Letters to Santa Get Early Start With Halloween and Thanksgiving out of the way Anaheim's younger set can devote full time to thoughts of Christmas. And in keeping with the good old American tradition of starting the Christmas ball rolling early, letters to Santa are already pouring in. Whether Santa operates on a first come, first served basis no one really knows, but it doesn't do any harm to get on the waiting list early. Dear Santa, Please give all the children you visit a present and if there is something left for me, I would like one toy sink and one toy stove and some little dishes and kettles.

Anaheim Memories 24 Years Ago This Week November, 1878 Mr. Dreyfus is seriously considering the propriety of erecting a brick building on Center street, moving the buildings now occupied by Mr. Mendelson and Mr. He is now in San Francisco. It is expected he will write in new days giving his decision. If does build it will be a one-day building but large enough to two stores. One of them will occupied by Goodman and Napau. It is also said that Mr. Neger contemplates building another brick structure adjoining this hall. If these buildings do go it will add wonderfully to the general appearance of Center and of the town in general. President Hayes has sent the name of Harrison Gray Otis confirmation by the senate as director of customs at San Diego. Otis is editor of the Santa Barbara Press; and from a long time of that paper we have been to consider its editor in the list of old acquaintance, and the privilege of congratulating him. Paul Oeker, the gentleman who exhibited the Edison phonograph, has written a very fine letter to the Stats Zeitung about Anaheim.

A barn and contents, valued at $2500, the property of Victor Montgomery of Santa Ana, were totally destroyed by fire at Villa Park on Monday. The property was not insured. The building was ignited by a brush fire started by a neighbor, the high wind which prevailed fanning the flames so that they got beyond control. C. C. Chapman has been unpacking several carloads of furniture for his new Placentia home, which he will occupy in the near future. The family will have a housewarming to which their many friends will be invited. Weisel and Boyd befan shipping out oranges from their packing house yesterday when their first car of fine fruit was forwarded east. They expect to handle a considerable part of the local crop. Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Backs, Jr., have had as their guests this week Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Perris of San Bernardino. Mrs. Hattie Mitchell of Pasadena, who has been a guest of her sister, Mrs. Cadman, for the past week, has taken her departure for her home. 24 Years Ago This Week November, 1828 On the 29th of October the Gazette entered upon the 59th year of its existence. The first issue appeared on October 29, 1870, and was owned, edited, pub- Robert C. James, fiscal officer for the State Department of Social Welfare, has alleged that "some pharmacists and some doctors are conniving to cheat the State on drugs dispensed to people on welfare by giving the patient a cheap drug and billing the State for an expensive one." This controversy developed last August when Merck, Sharp & Dohme, a national pharmaceutical manufacturer, complained that the State Department of Social Welfare billed the company for a rebate in excess of drugs sold in California. "Since the Welfare Medical eight per cent of the total pre Care Program consumes only eight per cent of the total prescription business of California, it is difficult to understand Merck, Sharp & Dohme's and the State Welfare Department's statistics," said Mr. Cecil A. Stewart, executive vice president of the California Pharmaceutical Association. No Substitute "Particularly since 90 per cent of Merck, Sharp & Dohme products involved in welfare prescriptions pertain to only one product. Diuril, it is not expected that a fiscal officer such as Mr. Robert C. James would know that there is no substitute or generic equivalent drug available for Diuril. "Sine there is no substitute for Diuril, we must conclude that either the rebate demands of the State Department of Social Welfare against Merck Sharp & Dohme are correct or the State Department of Social Welfare does not have a proper record-keeping system — probably the State of over $75,000." The case concerned a doctor desto whose prescribing habit sistent with good medicine. These two cases werecluded in 1961, nearly months prior to the present investigation. Abuses Continue Stewart said, 'the C. P. continually told State Law Committees and State Tor-owned pharmacies amitted, such abuses will occur in view of the fact that there has a financial interest in drugs he prescribes, and ment agencies are in doubt who has jurisdiction over pharmascist dispensers.' At the present time the Welfare Department require pharmacist to dispense a tute or generic equivalent place of that which the doc escribs for welfare recipients. Contrary to Law "Such a regulation," co-ed Stewart, "is contrary laws governing prescribing dispensing to other citizen regulations, passed by the Welfare Board deprives those fare patients of the same level of medical care as private citizens." Finally present Welfare department regulations provide only health practitioners required to reduce fees for recipients. Presently pharmaceutical manufacture are giving rebates to the W Department on the retail price drugs dispensed under the gram. J. Davis, well-known former agent of Anaheim, was in town tardy. He was suffering from effects of a fall of 24 feet from the hay, his wrist being dislaced and his system being generally badly shaken up.

The first issue appeared on October 29, 1870, and was owned, edited, published and printed by George W. Barter. In his salutatory, Mr. Varter says that out of a multitude of friends only six were optimistic enough to believe that he would succeed in this small community, surrounded by an unreclaimed wilderness. With 130 new cases of influenza reported to the county health department, with all the schools in the Fullerton and Placentia school districts closed Monday, and with more than 500 pupils reported out of schools in the Santa Ana city school district last Thursday, there was no marked improvement in the "flu" situation throughout the county. A. P. Standridge, 825 North Philadelphia Street, was painfully injured Saturday when he was struck by a car driven by Mike Casper, 406 S. Philadelphia street, according to police report. He was crossing the intersection of East Center street and Placentia avenue on a bicycle. That sigh of relief you hear may come from the old-fashioned politician who vowed he would let his whiskers grow until Virginia went Republican. 'Tis The Season To Plant Holly!

Schools To Be in Orange Show Schools throughout Southern California and all community organizations such as civic, fraternal, patriotic and amateur talent groups are being invited to participate in the special events program at the 1963 National Orange Show in San Bernadino March 14-24 by Frank Perkins, special events committee chairman. Each year special days are set aside by the National Orange Show management to honor various Southland communities and organizations. On that day non-professional entertainers provide almost continuous entertainment on the Community Stage for the thousands of visitors expected at the annual citrus classic. 101 Variations There are a hundred and one different variations of the English Holly, and if you think this an exaggeration, it is only a slight one. Members of the California Association of Nurserymen can offer over a dozen different English Hollies, each of them with individual qualities distinguishing it from the others. Unless you are a holly hobbyist, however, you can only use one or two of these many varieties. A.A.N. nurserymen suggest that you shop for them now during the season of their bearing, when you can see both leaf and berry at their best. Biggest differences among the various English Hollies lie in their leaves, some of which are less spiny than others, as with the Jan Van Tol variety, and others of which have silver or golden variegation on the margins of the leaves. A striking example of this latter characteristic is the Golden Queen English Holly with leaf margins of a bright golden yellow. Separate Shrubs English Hollies are largely dioecious, which means that male and female flowers are born on separate shrubs, necessitating at least one male pollinizer with the do so well in our gardens. Few places in the world are better adapted to growing these holiday specials and none has more different varieties to offer the gardener. The traditional holly for Christmas decoration, and still the most widely grown, is the English Holly, a handsome shrub or small tree with prickly leaves and glistening red berries. This will grow to tree proportions in time, but is really better for garden use when pruned annually and kept in shrub form. Extra Large Berries Most widely grown and somest of the Chinese Holly is the Burford Holly very prolific shrub from the point of cropping. This bear tra large berries, which seem extra bright because of the number. Burford Holly highly recommended for all of the state, not just southern iforna. Burford Holly is found in esplainer form or pyramidal shrub in nurseries. Another Chinese Holly is Dwarf Chinese Holly, which no crops of berries but is prized for its handsome con- growth. It makes a fine shrub for the evergreen bush. You'll find countless o named varieties of holly, in ing several Japanese Holly handsome shrubs which black instead red berries and foundation shrubs. Many new brids appear on the market year, some of which are noted their berries; others merely foliage. It pays to keep up on new varieties if you have an for special qualities.

The other case concerned a doctor in Modesto whose prescribing habits reportedly were found not to be consistent with good medical practice. These two cases were concluded in 1961, nearly twelve months prior to the present state investigation. Abuses Continue Stewart said, "the C. Ph. A. has continually told State Legislative Committees and State Government Agencies that so long as doctor-owned pharmacies are permitted, such abuses will continue, in view of the fact that the doctor has a financial interest in the drugs he prescribes, and government agencies are in doubt as to who has jurisdiction over non-pharmacist dispensers." At the present time the State Welfare Department requires the pharmacist to dispense a substitute or generic equivalent drug in place of that which the doctor prescribes for welfare recipients. Contrary to Law "Such a regulation," commented Stewart, "is contrary to state laws governing prescribing and dispensing to other citizens. Such regulations, passed by the State Welfare Board deprives the welfare patients of the same high level of medical care afforded private citizens. Finally present Welfare Department regulations provide that only health practitioners are required to reduce fees for welfare recipients. Presently several pharmaceutical manufacturers are giving rebates to the Welfare Department on the retail price of drugs dispensed under the program. With Christmas just around the corner and the New Year holiday hovering on the horizon, many persons are contemplating long highway trips to visit friends and relatives. Before you go, do yourself and your family a great big favor and install safety seat belts as one of your Christmas presents. Approximately 3,500 lives could be saved in the United States each year if auto accident victims were not thrown from their cars. Summarizing six years of study, the Automotive Crash Injury Research Project of Cornell Medical College found that injury is greatly reduced if passengers are held in a car rather than being ejected during a crash. This is contrary to the previously popular belief that being thrown clear of the car during an accident would generally save one's life. Doors Fly Open Certain types of automobile doors will even fly open during minor accidents. In one series, doors opened in 44 per cent of the cars, the frequency of door-openings were ejected. The importance of remaining in the car is shown by the finding that 12 per cent of the passengers thrown from cars were killed while only on-fifth that number (2.5 per cent) died of injuries sustained inside the car. Impressed by these statistics, American automobile manufacturers began studying new designs for doors which would stay closed. 33 per cent. Accidental ejection was reduced 40 per cent. This has been a tremendous step forward in automotive safety. New designs are under study which may improve the figures even more. At the same time, every effort has been made to encourage the use of safety belts. Most popular of these has been the simple lap belt, similar to those in use on commercial aircraft. Seat belts offer protection in several ways. They provide an added safeguard against the greatest danger in collision: ejection. Even if doors fly open, passengers using seat belts remain with the car. In addition, they modify the buffeting of passengers inside crashing cars. A common cause of severe injury is the violent flailing action which throws passengers about during the collision. This is restricted to some degree by even the simplest safety belt. It makes the passenger become "a part of the car" and decelerate with it rather than flying uncontrollably against the interior structures. Latest figures collected by the California Highway Patrol show that seat belts decrease major injury by a whopping 35 per cent. Use Belts Regularly The California Medical Association recommends that you have seat belts installed in your present car and use them regularly. If your car was made prior to 1956, the probability of a door opening during an accident increases the importance of a belt to hold you Finally present Welfare Department regulations provide that only health practitioners are required to reduce fees for welfare recipients. Presently several pharmaceutical manufacturers are giving rebates to the Welfare Department on the retail price of drugs dispensed under the program. Reduce Fees While pharmacists and physicians reduce their fees for welfare recipients, the welfare department does not require the vendors of food, clothing and transportation to reduce their fees. The Department's regulations even provide for a $15 a month taxi allowance for recipients requiring transporation for medical care. If there are pharmacists abusing the welfare program, the California Pharmaceutical Association will work with and assist the State Department of Social Welfare in every way possible to see that such violators are purged. We do wonder why Mr. James would release a general news story when he has been unable to substantiate his claims with names, places and dates after some 90 days of investigations," Stewart concluded. Season Holly! Berry-bearing females. This explains why many seedlings which pop up around old holly plantings do not bear crops. Members of the C.A.N. offer both male and female plants, as well as those on which both male and female are crafted to insure self-pollinization. English Hollies are grown throughout the state, but are at their very best in the north coast counties. The Chinese Holly and variegies — self fertile plants, which berries are profuse this time of year — are among the most popular for use in southern cars, the frequency of door-openers were ejected. The importance of remaining in the car is shown by the finding that 12 percent of the passengers thrown from cars were killed while only on-fifth that number (2.5 per cent) died of injuries sustained inside the car. Impressed by these statistics, American automobile manufacturers began studying new designs for doors which would stay closed during accidents. Beginning with the 1956 models, "safety door latches" were installed in all new cars. Results of this improvement are now available. In accidents involving post-1955 cars, the frequency of dooropening during collisions was reduced Local Patrolman Gets Promotion Anaheim California Highway Patrolman Ernest A. Lewis, Jr., has been promoted to sergeant and transferred to the West Los Angeles area, Bradford M. Crittenden, commissioner, announced today. Sergeant Lewis, 34, joined the Highway patrol on July 20, 1955 and was assigned to the Norwalk area upon completion of his training at the Patrol's Academy in Sacramento. He was transferred to the Anaheim area on October 5, 1956 where he has served continuously to date. His promotion to sergeant was effective Nov. 14. Recordings Given To Anaheim Schools Recordings of "Our Living Constitution" have been presented to all the high schools and junior high schools in the Anaheim area by Southwest Kiwanis. Bob Leonard, community affairs chairman heads the project. The Kiwanis Club meets every Thursday morning at the Gourmet Restaurant with Bill Marshall presiding. EDITORIAL Laos'd Up Again?

It is a picture too familiar to us, although in a more terrifying close setting. As the New York Times pointed out recently, under our own definition of "offensive" and "defensive" weaponry, and under our self-imposed limitations on inspection, there is nothing to prevent Moscow from retaining Cuba "as a forward Soviet military base and a communist Latin-America sanctuary." At one point in the tragic Laotian situation the United States stood in a position of strength. The world would have applauded firm military action to prevent a communist takeover.
