California State Library 4 P. O. Box 2037 Sacramento 9, California Anaheim Established in 1870 ... Published Continuous Vol. 91 — Number 17 8 Pages An Anaheim City El Total of 217,000 Turn Out for Sabin Vaccine Early tabulations show that approximately 217,000 Orange County residents received Sabin Type 2 oral polio vaccine Sunday. This was the preliminary figure given by SOS (Sabin On Sundays) officials shortly after Orange County's 71 clinics closed at 6 p.m. Sunday. Turnout Smaller The turnout, while slightly lower than that of the first Sunday of the Type 1 program, was deemed encouraging by SOS authorities. "We appreciate the fact that so many persons turned out despite the pressure of holiday activities," said Dr. Russel B. Watson, drive. "I'm sure that all of the county residents who took part in the Type 1 program will want to continue the series and will take Type 2 vaccine next Sunday if they missed today." Again on Sunday Sabin Type 2 serum will be dispensed again Sunday at all 71 Orange County clinics. Dr. Watson pointed out that these mass-type innoculation clinic will be the last to be offered and recommended that all persons take advantage of them. He said that those who might desi Sabin vaccine in the future wi have to do so through private phsicians at greater expense th the 25 cent donation asked at th clinics. Take Oral Vaccine "I would like to emphasize again that even those who miss Type 1 immunization can and should take Type 2." Dr. Watson said. He also said that those who have had Salk shots should talk Sabin oral vaccine. Postmaster Lauds Postmaster Lauds Anaheim Patrons Postmaster Marshall N. McFie expressed his appreciation today for excellent cooperation of Anaheim patrons so far on his 1962 "Mail Early for Christmas" Campaign. He said, however, that only by stepping up all Christmas card and gift package mailings immediately, will it be possible to process and deliver all cards and gifts by Christmas Day. The Postmaster said further, "It looks like the Christmas mail this year will set an all time record, far exceeding the 10 million pieces of mail that were dispatched and delivered in the pre-holiday season on 1961." The Postmaster continued, "Let's not disappoint a single friend or loved one at Christmas time by putting off Christmas mailings to the last minute." Offers Suggestions He offered these good suggestions that are easy to follow—Be sure return address and the recipients name and address is plainly typed or written on a 11 labels and Christmas cards. Always use zone numbers. Avoid abbreviations of state and city names. Try to bring parcels to the postal window before 10:00 a.m. or between 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. to avoid the noon hour and closing hour rushes. Pack Christmas gifts in strong corrugated cartons. Use plenty of stuffing material to insure safe delivery. Seal packages with heavy paper adhesive tape and tie them with good, strong cord. Be sure to ask about Parcel Post size and weight limitations when going to the Post Office to buy stamps. $14.1 Million Freeway For Route 184 Adopted First step in the construction of a $14,100,000 eight-lane Freeway on 3.9 miles of State Highway 184 was taken this week by the California Highway Commission. The Commission adopted the freeway routing for MacArthur Blvd., in Orange County and the cities of Newport Beach and Costa Mesa between half a mile south of Palisades Rd., and the adopted route for the San Diego Freeway. The route adopted follows the existing highway on MacArthur Blvd., to the proposed crosstown road and then proceeds parallel with and along the north side of Palisades Rd., south of the proposed expansion of the Orange County Airport. The route then shifts slightly to the north to provide and interchange with the Newport Freeway (Route 55) and continues in a northwesterly direction to the route of the San Diego Freeway in the vicinity of proposed Raitt St. The Commission announced in October that it was considering the adoption of a freeway routing and the Orange County Board of Supervisors and the city councils of Newport Beach, Santa Ana and Costa Mesa were informed. Santa Ana reversed a previous request for public hearing and joined the others in stating that a public hearing was not necessary. Initial construction will probably be on the basis of a six-lane freeway with provisions for expansion when required, according to the Commission. COLONY CRIER by Earl Wilson Next week is "Bill of Rights Week!" Know what that means? Well, exactly 171 years ago on Dec. 15, 1791, your dignity and importance as an individual were written into the Constitution of the United States. This Bill of Rights, as it is known, is the first 10 amendments to the Constitution. These amendments spell out the individual freedoms with which the Federal Government is not allowed to interfere. They were designed to protect you, as an individual, from the government. Now, isn't that strange that you as an American should need protection from your own government? But these men who wrote the Bill of Rights were far seeing individuals who feared a big, all-powerful government. They had seen how individual liberty was destroyed by Big Government. They merely wanted to protect themselves, and their country from that dange. They strived to insure that the government would remain a servant "of the people" rather than the master. But are we losing sight of this aim? Do we not, daily, look more toward the government to do the things for us that we should be doing for ourselves? Think hard about our present welfare program, unemployment compensation, medicare, social security, etc., etc. Surely there is a need for some, but the many abuses overshadow the good that is done. More and more the trend toward government handouts is taking us down the road toward socialism and the loss of our individual liberties. I have, framed at home, a copy of an item which has been reprinted many times. I do not know the author, but the following is indeed a credit to him for it sums up the true meaning of Americanism. "I do not choose to be a common man. It is my right to be uncommon if I can. I seek opportunity... not security. I don't wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the State look after me. I want to take the calculated risks; to dream and to build, to fail or to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dollar. I far prefer the challenges of life to a guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of Utopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. It is my heritage to think and act for myself, enjoy the benefit of my creations, and to face the world boldly and say, "this I have done!" All this is what it means to be an American."

NOW IT'S OFFICIAL — With the cutting of a bright blue ribbon last Friday, Bank of America opened its new branch in Anaheim. Cutting the ribbon during the official ceremonies were (from left) Robert M. Sherwood, manager of the new branch; Irma Rahwyler, Miss Anaheim; BULLETIN Dyke ‘Pool Water’ Hearing Scheduled for December 17 It was learned at press time that Anaheim City Manager Keith Murdoch held an emergency meeting Monday night with the city electrical workers. “I have learned that the workers have no intentions of walking off the job,” Murdoch reported. Murdoch further stated that the statements issued by the Union are “an apparent attempt to agitate the electrical workers.” The items requested by the workers are matters of City Council policy, according to Murdoch, and that no policy changes can possibly be effected until budget time. “At this time, we hope to make the necessary changes which will be applicable to all employees,” Murdoch concluded. The California Public Utilities Commission this week took action to halt any discontinuance of service to customers of Dyke Water Company for failure to pay billings for swimming pool usage of water and ordered an investigation of the reasonableness of the $3 per month rate charged. The legality of the method of billing also will be investigated, George G. Grover, Commission president, announced. Public hearing in the investigation was set for 10 a.m. on Monday, December 17, before Commissioner Grover and PUC Examiner F. Everett Emerson in the State Office Building, South Broadway, Los Angeles. The order signed by the first Commissioners requires Dyke Water Company and its office and employees immediately to: (1) Discontinue shutting up service to any customer who does not pay the amount he has been billed for swimming pool service; (2) Report to the Commission at or before the public hearing the name of each customer who has a swimming pool, the date which it was completed, the size in cubic feet and whether the pot water is filtered and recirculated.

This was revealed to the Gazette Monday morning by Dallas Lore, business representative of International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 47. A spokesman for the Union told the Gazette that "we are tired of the run-around received from the city manager's office." "We were told to wait until after the July budget hearings," he stated, "and that has been over four months ago." "The city's on the brink of a serious situation simply because City Manager Keith Murdoch and members of the council won't recognize grievances expressed by the local press. Murdoch has mailed unkept promises for the sole reason to stall the issue," Lore charged. "During one meeting, at which local newspapers were represented, Murdoch promised to give answers on the questions of promotion and standby pay policies. He hasn't even had the courtesy to keep his promise," he said. "Anaheim has a double set of standards when it comes to wages and conditions." Lore said. "Wage rates for the city's linemen and electricians are more than $100 a month below rates paid to linemen and electricians employed by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Light." A spokesman for the Union told the Gazette that "we are tired of the run-around received from the city manager's office." "We were told to wait until after the July budget hearings," he stated, "and that has been over four months ago." "The city's on the brink of a serious situation simply because City Manager Keith Murdoch and members of the council won't recognize grievances expressed by the city's electrical department employees," Lore said. Unkept Promises "Even in meetings attended by Dyke Seeks $1.6 Million Financing" California Public Utilities Commission reported today that the Dyke Water Company of Garden Grove has requested authority to borrow $1,600,000. The application, signed by Arlyne Lansdale, secretary of the utility, said that with the financing the company will be able to start its metering program and to reimburse its customers for money collected in excess of its authorized rates after May 18, 1960. The financing will also permit the company to reduce its short term notes held by the Farmers and Merchants Trust Company of Long Beach, the application said. Mrs. Lansdale asked the Commission to authorize the loan without public hearing. An application for the loan, payable in five years with interest not to exceed 8 per cent per annum, has been made with the Water Industries Capital Corporation of New York. Further proof of Murdoch's double standard scheme," said Lore, "is that several months ago he told the foremen that he would change the upgrade policy and stand-by pay — and now he won't even discuss it." Supply Documents Lore said the union has supplied documents and material to support each employee request "but all we meet are stalls, false promises and double standards." The situation," said Lore, "has reached the point where the employees — embittered by the obvious refusal to consider their grievances — are becoming hard to hold back.
