Utt-R35th District) helped fire the opening day of the 88th Congress by re-introducing three conservative bills: House Joint Resolution 23 (the Amendment to the Constitution) which would cut government costs by more than half, restore Sovereignty, insure balanced cuts in expenditures. The Amendment would reduce non-essential expenditures, making the personal tax revenues unnecessary. A recent exposure of Communist spies in the UN coupled with wide-spread disgust in UN handling of the Congo situation has caused more Americans to question the validity and usefulness of Congressman James B. Utt-R-35th District) helped fire the opening day of the 88th Congress by re-introducing three conservative bills: House Joint Resolution 23 (the Amendment to the Constitution) which would cut government costs by more than half, restore Sovereignty, insure balanced budgets, control bureaucracy, protect private enterprise and repeal personal income taxes; A bill to revoke membership in the United Nations, repealing the law giving UN personnel diplomatic immunity, and repealing or rescinding the treaty by which we joined the UN; A bill to abolish the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, created by law in the 87th Congress’ first session, transferring its function to the National Security Agency. Utt, beginning his sixth consecutive term as representative of California’s 35th Congressional District, stated by phone, “It is my belief that the passage of these three pieces of legislation is absolutely essential to the preservation of our Republic.” To Liberty Amendment it’s gained renewed attention as a result of the Administration’s pressure for a quick tax cut and conservative’s insistence on equal cuts in expenditures. The Amendment would reduce non-essential expenditures, making the personal tax revenues unnecessary. A recent exposure of Communist spies in the UN“coupled with wide-spread disgust in UN handling of the Congo situation has caused more Americans to question the validity and usefulness of the agency,” according to Utt. The Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, established as an advisory body, was endowed with power over all weapons down to National Guard rifles. Utt called attention to the UN “an agency to preserve peace” which, according to news reports, issued an ultimatum that anyone in the Congo possessing a firearm would be shot on sight. “Such an order can be issued in the United States under authority of the UN treaty which supercedes our Constitution and make it a capital offense to possess a hunting rifle,” said Utt. OCC Artist Series Featuring COLONY CRIER By DICK BOHRER Sometimes find myself ready to say, “Sputnik, go home.” It was the advent of that bright star in the East that changed everything in the American educational picture. When we were content with John Dewey and with “learning by doing”, things were so much easier. It was easier to keep ahead of one’s small fry who came home with a scribble they called “a-house” with a chimney-and-a-tree.” It was easier when they ASKED why grass is green and sky blue, why cats have kittens and where electric lights go when they are turned off. DE and angle B equals angle EB A. . . Well, maybe on second thought, it’s all a good idea. Children have more impressionable minds. They can learn languages far more rapidly. They can learn the tools of science and mathematics at a very young age. We’ve been losing so much potential through the years that we face a strategic lack of scientists, mathematicians, teachers, lawyers, statisticians and research technologists. This must be the answer we’ve been looking for. We’ll teach geometry to the precocious little IBM machines we’re raising and When we were content with John Dewey and with "learning by doing", things were so much easier. It was easier to keep ahead of one's small fry who came home with a scribble they called "a-house - with - a-chimney-and-a-tree." It was easier when they ASKED why grass is green and sky blue, why cats have kittens and where electric lights go when they are turned off. The good old days were great. But Sputnik has changed it all. Now our kids are TELLING us all these things. We have to learn Spanish to find out what they're saying to one another at the dinner table. We have to take a night course in science to find out what this "prophase - metaphase - anaphase-telephase" business is all about. And when we've learned all about cell division, we have to study synthesis because our children are telling US why grass is green. And now — this very day educators are meeting in Olive to discuss ways of teaching my primary youngster all about equational triangles, isosceles (can barely spell it, let alone say if) triangles, theorems and propositions. My Little Boy Blue will really come home, glint in eye, blowing his horn now. We've got to marshall our forces. Organize. Meet this crisis with the facts. Let's have meetings of parents. Of citizens. Rallies. We've got to keep ahead of our teachers. Let's first — in self defense — force down the facts: Angles equal to the same angle are equal to each other. Let's force down statistics: When angle A equals angle B and side AB equals side CB and when the right angle is bisected by line We can let them make out our income tax returns. That alone will be worth the humiliation of their science lectures around the dinner table. We can let them memorize the seven digit phone numbers we have to use all the time now. We can let them figure out all the combinations of one, two and three cent stamps it takes to put the latest levy on our post cards and letters. And we can use this wealth of information to make botanists and zoologists out of them. We need but give them a problem and these tykes, used to problem-solving situations in the classroom, can turn their brains into high gear and tackle such things as: "Determine in what spots on the lawn the sprinkler, if placed would stimulate the most synthesis in all blades of grass. Prove." Or "What is the rate of deterioration of a bushel basket of clippings shaved fresh from a front lawn of fifty by twenty foot dimensions. Prove." Or "What is the effect upon physical stamina, and upon the muscular structure of the human right arm when that arm is exerted, soft cloth in hand, upon the grimy surface of a four-door motor vehicle. Prove." Hey! Maybe we've got the answer. Citing an urgent need for schools to keep pace with area's unprecedented growth Board of Trustees for the Union High School District ask voters to approve a new bond issue and a $15 million State apportionment loan special election set for May.

Journalism Students Sign Up For County Writing Tourney Information and sign-up sheets are now in the hands of high school journalism advisors throughout Anaheim and Orange County for the National Association of Journalism Directors annual newspaper writing tournament. Betty Coxson, Lowell High School advisor, is in charge of the February 16 contest, which may see up to 600 high school and junior high school journalism students competing for honors and prizes. Part of a network of writing tournaments throughout Southern California, the February contest will be preliminary to finals competition in May.

Richard Armour ... to appear at Coast, Jan. 30 School District Seeks $25 Million Citing an urgent need for more schools to keep pace with the area's unprecedented growth, the Board of Trustees for the Anaheim Union High School District will ask voters to approve a $12 million bond issue and a $13 million State apportionment loan in a special election set for March 12th. In announcing adoption of a resolution calling for the election, Board President Raymond B. Terry explained that the funds will be used to build three new Senior High Schools and six additional Junior High Schools. These, he said, will accommodate some 13,500 new students who will be added to the District's present 21,500 enrollment within the next five years. In addition, he stated the funds will also provide for the purchase of seven Junior High School sites. In submitting the recommendation for Board action, District Superintendent Paul W. Cook pointed to the critical school shortage that will exist as students now in elementary grades move up into the High Schools and still others move into the area. He said that approval by the voters will assure adequate facilities to keep Junior and Senior High Schools on single session and noted that the building program can be continued without affecting the bond tax rate. Since 1959 when voters last authorized school building funds, the tax rate, then fixed at about 40 cents per $100.00 of assessed valuation, remained at that figure and will not increase under the proposed new program, he said. Recognized as the fastest growing area in the United States communities served by the Anaheim Union High School District include the cities of Anaheim Cypress, Dairyland and St. as well as portions of Grove, Orange, Fullerton, Buena Park. To take care of the increased enrollment from 12,000 in 1976 today’s 21,500 figure, Anaheim Union High School District has a total of five Senior and Junior High Schools.

Dr. Gerald Brown, Associate Professor of Education, University of California, Riverside, will be the featured speaker at the 4:00 general session. His topic is "Problem Solving in the New Mathematics." Dr. Brown is presented through the Bureau of National Defense Education Act Administration, California State Department of Education in cooperation with the Orange County Schools. Teacher demonstrations will be given on fourteen topics as: Geometry in Primary Grades, Five Laws of Mathematics, and the Study of Measurement and Related Concepts. The demonstrations are scheduled so that more than one can be attended. Groundbreaking ceremonies for the La Palma Park Community Recreation Building, co-hosted by the Anaheim City Council and Anaheim Host Lions Club, came off without incident last Friday at the Harbor Blvd. side of the park. Some 200 witnessed the “final lap” of a two-year old project spearheaded by the Lions in their efforts to provide a multi-purpose facility. Since 1960, the local group has been raising funds at square dances held on a lighted platform slab in the park. They paid $3200 for the initial facility. Two months ago, the Lions gave the Council a $14,000 check to cover architectural fees and initial building costs. They promised to continue their fund-raising efforts until the monies advanced for building from the Council’s contingency fund and the city’s general fund are reimbursed. Total cost of the building is estimated at $104,470.66. Completion of the 9500 sq. ft. building is slated for July 1. Regarding the building itself, the structural system will be laminated arch and timber deck roofing with plastered non-bearing exterior walls and partitions. Capacity will be auditorium, 900; banquet, 450; dancing, 900. Facilities will include a 9500 Sq. Ft. open floor space for general use; restrooms serving building and park area; enclosed Patio on North side with 300 capacity for outdoor; dining, arts and crafts, table tennis; catering kitchen; recreation check-out room serving park as well as building; complete winter and summer climate control. "The function and location of this project led to a design philosophy dedicated to the development of a building that draws its form from the natural beauty of the park and its character from the pursuits of its occupants," Dan L. Rowland, architect, said. "The soft curving line of the roof structure and the exposed arched beams reflect the earth contours and tree forms of the site, blending into the environment rather than using the park as a background for the building." Each school has been limited to 15 entrants. Junior high school students throughout the county are also being invited to the contest, as contestants in a special junior high school "write-off." They will sit in the same sessions with the high school students but their papers will be judged in a separate contest.
