Set to appear before the members of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission are some 50 irate citizens of the area who oppose the issuance of an "on-sale general license" to operate a cocktail bar at 2008 East Lincoln Ave. Leading the opposition, protesting the plans of William Lee and Ruth Ritter to put a liquor serving establishment in the "family center", is Dr. Howard D. Garber, Anaheim Optometrist, who has his office at 2008 G, adjoining the proposed bar. "And I am not alone," Dr. Garber told the Gazette, "as 24 of the 33 business establishments in the center are violently opposed to having a cocktail bar in such close proximity to our places of business." Dr. Garber produced a petition containing more than 325 signatures of persons in the area who are protesting the transfer of a liquor license to the Ritters. The petition states in part: "It is not desirable that a cocktail bar be located immediately adjacent to Don's Drive-In, a popular meeting place for children and teenagers in East Anaheim. "The present incidence of crime and vandalism at the East Anaheim Postmaster Cites 'Outstanding Cooperation' "While it's too late to talk about early mailing of Christmas gifts and cards," Anaheim Postmaster Marshall N. McFie said today, "I am grateful for your excellent cooperation to date on my 'Mail Early for Christmas' Campaign." The Postmaster suggests that last minute mailers use Air Mail for their Christmas cards and gifts that are going out of town. There is still time for local delivery, but all Christmas cards should be sent by First Class mail. We agree that the proposed cocktail bar would not be compatible with the established businesses and professional practices at the location proposed, particularly the adjacent medical and optometric offices." Among those signing the petition were Mrs. Lew Sinor of 2449 E. Lincoln Ave., President of the Sycamore Junior High School PTA; Thomas F. Swanson, 2006 E. Lincoln Ave., President of East Anaheim Merchants Association; Elders W. E. Allen and L. T. Shannon of the Church of Christ at 311 N. State College; and Gordon L. McCone, 218 N. Normandy Dr., President of Sunkist Homeowners Association. See Editorial on Page Two— "The day before Christmas is a mighty poor time to schedule a hearing." said Dr. Garber, "but in spite of this we are hoping to get as many people out as possible to protest this plan of putting a liquor bar into an area which is frequented by children." Stating that he was sure that democracy would win out, Dr. Garber told the Gazette: "I feel that the protests of concerned parents in the area, coupled with the objections of the majority of businessmen in the center, will indicate to the ABC Commission that this is no place for a cocktail bar." Anaheim Postmaster Cites 'Outstanding Cooperation' A Christmas dance, with proceeds going to help mentally retarded children at Fairview State Hospital, will be held tonight at the Retail Clerks Union auditorium in Buena Park, according to the sponsoring Central Labor Council of Orange County. Ansell Hill’s orchestra will entertain at the $5 per couple benefit, according to co-chairmen Don Lopez and Max Stotland. Proceeds will be used to purchase a large outdoor swing set. 'Outstanding Cooperation' "While it's too late to talk about early mailing of Christmas gifts and cards." Anaheim Postmaster Marshall N. McFie said today. "I am grateful for your excellent cooperation to date on my 'Mail Early for Christmas' Campaign." "Time means everything now." he continued. 'Even a few hours delay in getting your cards and gifts mailed may mean disappointment to your friends and loved ones on Christmas Day." With the Christmas mail load now hitting its peak, here are a few of the Postmaster's important reminders—Don't mail money in Christmas cards or parcels. Use postal money orders or checks. Be sure to include full name and address, postal zone numbers and your return address, written or printed clearly on every card and package. Parcels of real value should be insured, and if they contain delicate gifts, mark them "Fragile", and foodstuffs subject to spoilage should be marked "Perishable".
