California State Library P. O. Box 2037 Sacramento 9, California Union Anaheim Established in 1870 ... Published Continuous Vol. 91 — Number 18 8 Pages An Ceremonies Held To Honor Four Anaheim Postoffice Employees Four Anaheim Post Office employees, representing a total of nearly 95 years of faithful service to patrons, were recently honored on the occasion of their retirement from the Postal Service. Receiving best wishes and congratulations from their fellow employees were Clair H. Liebhart of 946 N. West St., John C. Martens of 530 S. Resh St., Glén Butcher of 406 S. Illinois St., and Orlen W. Sisson of 239 S. Glassell Ave., Orange. Decorated cakes and coffee, complete with all good wishes, were the order of the day at the Anaheim Post Office during the informal presentation. Liebhart, Superintendent of the Brookhurst Center Station retired after serving the citizens of Anaheim for nearly 40 years. He entered the postal service in 1923 as a clerk, and will be remembered by many of the long-time residents in West Anaheim as Christmas Choir To Sing Friday For United Fund The 21 silvertoned voices of the Santiago High School Christmas Choir will present a vocal concert at the Charter House Hotel in Anaheim at 7 p.m. Friday. "We will sing everything from ten beautiful Hallelujah Chorus to the lighter children's Christmas ditties", smiled Ramon Gyllen, Jr., president of the choir. The concert will be presented in the traditional caroling fashion, as the choir sings the praises of the holiday season in various areas at the Charter House. Everyone is cordially invited to attend the wandering concert. Said Bernard Haering, manager of the Charter House. "There will be no charge to enjoy the heraldic music of the Christmas Choir. Guests, however, will be invited to make contributions if they wish. The proceeds will be given to the Anaheim United Fund, in an effort to push the goal up over the top of this year's campaign." Chuck Allee, Executive Director of the Anaheim United Fund, said that this was a wonderful gesture by the Christmas Choir and the Charter House. "I hope everyone in the area will take advantage of the opportunity to hear the beautiful Christmas music as sung by this outstanding group", he said. Decorated cakes and coffee, complete with all good wishes, were the order of the day at the Anaheim Post Office during the informal presentation. Liebhart, Superintendent of the Brookhurst Center Station retired after serving the citizens of Anaheim for nearly 40 years. He entered the postal service in 1923 as a clerk, and will be remembered by many of the long-time residents in West Anaheim as their rural carrier. He had been a supervisor for five years prior to his retirement. Because of the unusually long service, Mr. Liebhart was presented with a special certificate of appreciation signed by the Postmaster General. Martens entered the Anaheim office in 1940 and served in various positions, the last ten years as a rural and mounted carrier at the Brookhurst Center Station. He had served in both World War I and II, having a total Government service of 24 years. Butcher first came to the Anaheim office as a substitute clerk in 1942. For the last 17 years he has been a rural carrier and was serving the last remaining rural route in Anaheim at the time of retirement. Sisson began as a maintenance employee in 1948. With an absence from 1950 to 1953, he returned as a fireman, in which capacity he remained until his mandatory retirement on reaching 70 years of age. All four received congratulations from their many friends and co-workers and each was presented with a retirement gift. Students To Be In College 'Who's Who' Three Anaheim students are among 23 students from Orange State College who have been nominated for inclusion in the national publication of "Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges." COLONY CRIER by Earl Wilson Christmas is a time for giving. I have no doubts but what these COLONY CRIER by Earl Wilson Christmas is a time for giving. A time when all people open their hearts as well as their purses and dwell upon the plight of those less fortunate than themselves. Yet, we as Americans (Who are known throughout the world as the "givingest" individuals in history) are oftimes prone to look beyond our own backyard and forget those closest to us. This is the case of our American Indians. We who sit in an editorial slot and watch the news copy and requests for donations (especially at this time of the year) flow across the desk are, at times perhaps, inclined to become a bit hardened to the burdens borne by others. For instance, in the mail this morning there came news releases entitled "News from CARE" which told of the outstanding work done by that organization for the needy throughout the world. It cited such statistics as: "Loaded on a single train, it would take 12,000 freight cars stretching 13 miles to haul 733 million pounds of United States farm abundance that CARE will deliver during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1963." And: CARE's food crusade gives impartial help to both Greek and Turkish communities on the Island of Cyprus where a daily lunch is provided for 85,000 primary school children there." I have no doubts but what these are most worthy ventures. But what about taking care of our own? Did you know that literally hundreds of Americans, the Navajo Indians of Arizona, are actually starving and freezing to death here in this "land of plenty?" Already there have been five deaths due to exposure and starvation and winter has not yet arrived in Arizona. Kenneth Lae, chairman of the drive at Anaheim Elks Lodge 1345, stated that donations of clothing and canned goods and "anything else they would like to give" are being accepted at the Lodge at 423 N. Los Angeles St., Anaheim. This is a County-wide drive by the Elks Clubs to help the inhabitants of the desolate reservation near Winslow, Arizona. All goods collected will be transported to a centrally located area in the county and will then be trucked, or when deep snows prohibit vehicular traffic, air dropped directly to the reservation. More than 160 tons of food and clothing were distributed to the Navajos last year through the combined efforts of Orange County Elks Clubs. So, let us aid the needy of other nations and feed the starving peoples of foreign countries when we can . . . but first let us take care of our own Americans. After all, they were here first. Bond Buyers To Get Patriotic Envelopes George A. Parker, Orange County Savings Bonds Chairman, said here today: "Red, white and blue gift envelopes are available free at local banks for customers who buy U. S. Savings Bonds as Christmas gifts. Sabin Sunday Last Chance More than 277,000 Orange County residents responded to the Sabin 2 oral polio clinics Sunday. Combined with the 215,000 who turned out the previous Sunday, this means that some 492,000 countians are now protected against Type 2 polio. In releasing the early estimates, Dr. Russell B. Watson, coordinator of the SOS (Sabin On Sundays) campaign, announced that a special "last chance" clinic will be conducted on Friday at the Orange County Medical Association Building in Orange from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. "An unusual demand from people who were unable to attend Sunday has prompted the set-up of this special clinic." Dr. Watson said.

However," the Postmaster continued, "The fast volume of Christmas mail is only a part of our problem. When names and addresses are carelessly written and packages are poorly wrapped or have insufficient postage on them, such oversights result in delays which can be avoided if everyone will follow these simple requirements— Be sure your Christmas card and gift mailing lists are up-to-date. Use the new 4 cent Christmas stamps on your greeting cards. Pack your Christmas gifts securely in sturdy containers.

Lore told Gazette, "but I can't deny it, that I can say now is that it be filed within the next couple weeks." Lore declined to discuss the sues involved in the suit at the present time. 'Drastic Measure' It's a drastic measure for both sides," Lore said, "but have no choice. We have tried more than eight months to discuss the problems like grown men and all we've met has been courteous, stalls and disregard the problems affecting some employees of the electrical department." Lore stated that the "stair could be proven by taking a look at the records: "Last April we were asked hold off our request until the get sessions had been completed. Loara Senior Names 129 Loara Senior High School Anaheim today announced that 129 students have qualified for the first quarter honor roll. Loara, located at 1765 W Cerritos, opened in September this year with a 10th grade class of 630 students. It became the fifth senior high school in the Anaheim Union High School District.

During the early estimates, Bill B. Watson, coordina-tor of SOS (Sabin On Sundays), announced that a spe-chance” clinic will be on Friday at the Or-tery Medical Association in Orange from 11 a.m. “An unusual demand did who were unable to day has prompted the this special clinic.” Dr. D. He emphasized how this would be the last day to receive the Type 2 vaccine under the mass immuniza-tion program. Those who miss this opportunity must arrange to receive the vaccine later from private physicians. The Orange County Medical Association Building is located at 300 S. Flower Street in Orange. Those using the Santa Ana Freeway should take the Chapman Avenue off-ramp and drive East to Flower, then South on Flower. SOS officials pointed out that this is Flower Street in Orange, and not Santa Ana. Dr. Watson expressed satisfaction with the turnout Sunday. “It is gratifying that so many persons were able to attend Sunday,” he said. He indicated that it was a tribute to the desire of Orange County residents to wine out the disease in their communities. Anaheim United Fund Lauded by Hospital “The Anaheim-Western Communities United Fund is one of the few throughout Southern Californias which supports us 100 per cent”, stated Miss Martha Snodgrass, Public Relations Director for the Orthopaedic Hospital. She added, “We are always pleased with the warmth and generosity of the people in this campaign.” Chuck Allee, Executive Director of the Anaheim United Fund, said that the primary reason why this campaign can provide 100 per cent support to the Orthopaedic Hospital, as well as the other 15 agencies in the campaign, is because of the yearly success of the Anaheim drive. “Year after year”, he said, “the people in and around Anaheim vigorously support our campaign.” In 1955, Anaheim’s first United Fund goal was $38,000. In six years, this goal has leaped to $375,000. Noted Allee, “We are less than 4 per cent away from our ambitious goal this year—and we will make it.” He said that some of the United Fund goals in Southern California remain almost constant, and others are increased each year o- twice by about 5 per cent. He mentions Pomona’s goal, which has been increased 8 per cent over last year’s goal as one of the stand-outs. However, even this increase seems like a “drop in the bucket” compared to the 26 per cent increase over last year by the Anaheim-Western Communities Uni- ted Fund. ue City ette 92 Years Entertainment Guide For America's 'HUB OF HAPPINESS' Home City Of DISNEYLAND Electrical Workers Seek Positive Action law suit, reportedly aimed at ing Anaheim City Manager h Murdoch to "take positive on" will be filed by the International Brotherhood of ElectriWorkers within the "next two ss." this was learned exclusively to by the Gazette in an interview Dallas R.
