Indignant City Second Guesses The City Council found itself caught up in its own toils this week and, at least for the present, is suffering the same pangs as the frustrated private citizen. The only difference, and a real one, private individuals say, is that the solution will not cause the city council to pay out any of their own finances. The bill will either be paid from taxpayer money or by deduction from the architect's fee, dependent upon further investigation. The fundamental problem, however, according to spectators at the city council meeting, is not who pays the bill for further electric wiring in the new police building but rather why the wiring is necessary in the first place. A change order request for the police headquarters building included some $555 for circuits to three garbage disposal units. This brought an immediate reaction from members of the council. They protested their experience indicates such separate wiring was not required. An expert on wiring the architect of possible.

The group will visit the home of Mrs. Don Rees, 321 S. Arden St., on Friday, Feb. 15. Mrs. C. F. Foster, vice president and program chairman of the club has planned the program for the day. The slides will be presented by Miss Jean Atkinson. "Thoughts for the Day," will be brought to the garden group by Mrs. W. R. Ward. Co-hostesses for the social hour of the club will be Mrs. J. F. Coewe, Mrs. George Kohlenberger and Mrs. Wilbert Bonney. The meeting will begin at 1:00 p.m. For this dedication and sacrifice, these people have received nothing but the satisfaction of knowing that they are helping their friends and neighbors protect themselves from a life-wrecking disease. Sunday's turnout, added to the number of persons who took Type 3 vaccine the previous Sunday, brings to approximately 384,000 the number of Orange County residents who now have what Dr. Friend termed "the best and most complete immunity available for polioymeleitis." In some areas, clinics were combined at one site as a result of a low turnout the previous Sunday. More than a half-million Orange Countians took Type I vaccine last October. Nearly 450,000 took Type 2 in December. For complete immunity to all three of the major strains of polio virus, all three types of the vaccine must be taken.

He also mentioned that dry "Santana" would usually follow rain storms and a very short time the forest dry to their summertime exiive condition. Naming New Honors The name of James M. G. pioneer Anaheim educator father of the school district program in California, has been selected for the new grammar school being build on Sunkist A nue south of Wagner Ave. Guinn was a teacher and subsequently principal during the year 1869 to 1881. He resigned at time to become superintendent schools for the city of Los Angeles. It was in 1877 that Guinn did a bill which authorized Anaheim school district to i bonds in the amount of $100 for the purpose of building s Teachers Get Raise To maintain Anaheim teacher capabilities at the present high level, it is necessary to be competitive in salary attraction. This was the basis of the argument presented to the Anaheim City School district which resulted in their approval of a $300 increase in starting salary for teachers. The argument was presented to the board by Superintendent Bob Shanks as he supported the Estimated budget figures for 1963-1964. The budget estimate is in excess of $6.3 million. Shanks told the board the anticipated budget is $6,389,729 as compared with the current operating schedule of $6,133,999. To finance the budget the tax rate would be $1.6145 per $100 of assessed valuation, a decrease of some three cents. Need 105 More The board, in apparent recognition of the need to meet salary scales of competitive districts, approved a starting $5,300 for teachers. It is estimated by Jack Bowne, assistant superintendent for personnel services, the Anaheim board must hire 105 new teachers during the coming year. The preliminary budget estimates which Shanks provided the board at the last meeting were for study and analysis in preparation for the probable July approval action by this board. Shanks was well ahead of last year's schedule of events and his action will permit both the board and interested citizens a maximum of time to consider the various aspects of his proposals. Hint General Raise Probably the major item of interest is a proposal that all teacher salaries be given a boost. One estimate presented shows a $250 across the board increase. Another estimate embodies only the regular increases which follow because of longevity, capabilities and, or assignments. Shanks has indicated his support of the $250 general rise in salaries. Chairman George Easton has made a tentative alignment with the proposition of raising salaries on the basis of experience. The budget which is finally evolved by the board and given their approval will have many opportunities for examination and discussion before it comes before the public for action. Passage will not be until some time in August. The next meeting of the board will be on Feb. 19. Pinkley on Communism (Continued from Page 1) expansion there, and especially in and especially during the administration of the late President Ra Annual Press, Dairyland, and Los Alamitos-Rossmoor areas. James Heads Scout Group William "Bill" James of Anaheim has taken up the duties as the new president of the Northern Orange County Council, Boy Scouts of America. He was installed as the 1963 chief during ceremonies at the Disneyland Hotel. During the annual meeting, three men were awarded the coveted Silver Beaver awards: Fred Ellison of Anaheim, Stan Smith of a Habra and George Ogata of Buena Park. James takes over from retiring president Adolf Schoepe. Forest Area is Reopened The area of the Trabuco Ranger District in Orange county and riverside county, that has been closed to public entry since July 1962, has officially been opened to public use. The announcement of, at least the temporary opening, was made by Stanley R. Stevenson, Forest Supervisor of the Cleveland National Forest. The newly opened area is that portion of the Cleveland National forest between Lake Elsinore and Santa Ana Canyon. Stevenson sailed n. Stevenson said daaC unyn Santa Ana Canyon.

The next meeting of the board will be on Feb. 19. Pinkley on Communism (Continued from Page 1) expansion there, and especially in nations being aided extensively by the United States. He listed these as the Philippines, Thailand, South Vietnam and Formosa, or Nationalist China. He emphasized, however, that much work and hard fighting still remains and that it will be some years before "we can feel that the tentacles of Communism have been cut back and held in check." CNPA re-elected Pinkley for a third term as Director and appointed him as chairman of the committee handling the Association's monthly magazine, the California Publisher. Pinkley said that he did not want to bring back a falsely optimistic report on Southeast Asia, but that some progress is being made. He said that American economic aid is now being used more effectively because it going into short term projects at the village or local level. "Heretofore," he said, "much of our aid went to making the rich richer. The masses received little or no aid and they know nothing about what America was trying to accomplish or the assistance being made in their behalf. "In the past we have engaged in too many long-range, tremendous costly projects in foreign aid." Pinkley continued. "We could have spent half the money with twice the results if our programs had been better planned and if improved personnel could have administered them." There is much praise, Pinkley declared for the Peace Corps. The reason, he added, is "because the masses say these young dedicated Americans come and live among them, accepting their hardships and shortages." In general, Pinkley added, our military have done a better job in their fields than our civilian representatives have. Pinkley said that many Southeast Asian leaders are now attacking economic problems. And especially during the administration of the late President Ramon Magsaysay and the current Chief Executive, Diosdado Macapagal. He said both dynamic leaders stress honesty and dedication as cornerstones of their administrations, each fought and fights graft and corruption. He said the Philippines have the best and most free press of any in the Far Pacific and Asia. He revealed that the Philippines spends one-third or one-half of its annual budget on education. He said that any president or candidate running on an anti-American platform, would be defeated. "Despite our mistakes, there is a great reservoir of goodwill for America in the Philippines," he stated. Pinkley reported that Thailand now has an excellent air force and navy. Today some 80 per cent of the farms are owned by the farmers themselves. He said much of America's aid, which has been reduced in Thailand in recent years now goes into projects for villages and frontier areas. In South Vietnam the government during the past year has gone over from the defensive to the offensive in fighting Communist Viet Cong and guerrilla forces. Pinkley continued. He said that it probably will take three to five years for the government of Vietnam, with heavy assistance from the United States, to rid that newly formed country of Communist aggression. Pinkley related scenes at the British-Red China frontier near Hong Kong at Lo Wu, and he presented parts of taped interviews he had with President Macapagal and Gen. Carlos P. Romulo in Manila, President Ngo Diem in Saigon and President Chiang Kai-Shek in Taipei, Formosa. In conclusion Pinkley declared that American newspapers should be careful in reporting and providing background on conditions in various nations overseas. the Cleveland National Forest.

He also ca- umented that dry "Santana" winds usually follow rain storms and in every short time the forest fuels up to their summertime explosive condition. Pinkley declared our military have done a better job in their fields than our civilian representatives have. Pinkley said that many Southeast Asian leaders are now attacking economic problems. They know that when living standards are raised and progress made in education, health and sanitation, the Communists have great difficulty in making progress. Many military men told Pinkley that the way to free South Vietnam from Communism aggression a nd threat is to win on the economic and political fronts as well as militarily. The Philippines were praised by Pinkley for their progress, Naming New School Honors James Guinn The name of James M. Guinn, Neer Anaheim educator and dean of the school district bond program in California, has been elected for the new grammar school build on Sunkist Aye- south of Wagner Avenue. Guinn was a teacher and subse- sently principal during the years to 1881. He resigned at that time to become superintendent ofools for the city of Los Angeles. Guinn was in 1877 that Guinn draft-a bill which authorized the heim school district to issue bills in the amount of $10,000 for the purpose of building school facilities. He helped to secure passage of the bill through the state legislature in March, 1878. This was the first instance of school bond issues, a practice now popular in the state. Guinn's name was proposed for the new school facility by Chairman George Easton of the Anaheim City School District. The suggestion won unanimous approval from the board. The new school will accommodate approximately 700 students in its 19 classrooms. It will be the 21st grammar school in the city. Opening date is now forecast for September, 1963. British-Red China frontier near Hong Kong at Lo Wu, and he presented parts of taped interviews he had with President Macapagal and Gen. Carlos P. Romulo in Manila, President Ngo Diem in Saigon and President Chiang Kai-Shek in Taipei, Formosa. In conclusion Pinkley declared that American newspapers should be careful in reporting and providing background on conditions in various nations overseas. He said the overall situation should be presented, not some isolated action or development which might be misleading. He said that individual battles are won or lost in victorious campaigns. He said that America must be ready to make continued sacrifices as the leader of the free world. "The only nation on earth today capable of standing up to Red China and Soviet Russia is the United States," he continued. "We want and need the full help of our allies and of those nations trying to remain free. But for our lifetimes much of the load will have to be carried by America and Americans. We cannot permit the most unfortunate death of Americans to deter us in our duties and responsibilities. "We must learn that we cannot accomplish everything by simply spending billions of dollars. We need ability, dedication and rigid resolve — improved programs and more capable personnel. "We must stop trying to get everyone to love us. We should so conduct ourselves that people and nations will respect us. Achieving this, most of them will then love us. But first it is respect, followed by love. Not the reverse order. And as the champion of free men everywhere and the defender of liberty and den.o.cracy, we must lead. We must think, plan and act like a truly great, powerful and just leader."
