Published Continuously Vol. 91—Number 28 12 Pages APPROVE JU Polls Selected In Yorba Linda Twelve polling places have been selected for the voters of the proposed Yorba Linda annexation area to ballot on April 9 on the question of merging with the city of Anaheim. The list of polling places, and the names of the officials who will serve at each, were reported to the city council by Mrs. Dene Williams, City Clerk and Fred Sorsabal, administrative assistant to the city manager. The council approved the listings presented in the action taken at a meeting which saw the council fix the date of April 9 as the day of decision for the some 2,400 being considered for annexation. The locating of each polling place and the officers who will serve in the election follow: Yorba Linda annexation voting precinct No. 1, comprising that portion of the County Peralta Hills precinct located within the proposed annexation boundaries: Polling place — 18614 Crescent Drive, Anaheim, Instector — Henrietta N.

This is the consensus of remarks city officials who heard a group of protesting parents from the school area. The hazardous crossing just over a crest formed by a railroad crossing. The rise prevents motorists from becoming aware of the cross walk until they are actually almost upon it, parents declared. They reported that traffic checks indicate there are over 15,000 cars in the area in a 24-hour period moving at average speeds of about 35 miles per hour. These figures were confirmed by Ed Granzow, traffic engineer for the city, City Councilman Jack Dutton also backed the position taken by the parents. Apparently the only drawback to signal installation lies in the existing demands for signals causing a strain on priorities. There are reportedly about 14 demands for traffic lights ahead of the high school group. The council has requested city departments to study the matter with a view toward remedial action. Plans for a $5 million garden type industrial building project on Lemon Street north of Orangethorpe Avenue have been announced by Bryan Industrial Properties. The project is located on a 40-acre tract which will become a "super industrial park," according to H. L. Bryan, president of the firm. Off-site improvements have already been begun. Bryan April 15 is the target date for availability of a variety of unit sizes. The negotiations for the tract area were protracted. Bryan said, to a point that the length of the period of negotiation may set a record. The land is choice, builders declare, as it is convenient to the Leomon Street freeway interchange. It was only after several years of effort that the deal was consumed, Bryan declared. The real estate deal served to emphasize the growth of Anaheim. Records indicate the owners were only once removed from the original Spanish land grant.

Sabin Clinics End in County SOS is over! The end of Orange County's mass oral polio immunization program came at 6 p.m. Sunday with the closing of the final makeup clinic for Type 3 Sabin vaccine. The last person to receive the vaccine was 2½-year-old Elwood Trotter, son of Lloyd Trotter, 229 N. Glassell St. in Orange. Sunday's turnout brought to approximately 300,000 the number of Orange County residents who took the Type 2 vaccine. More than a half-million persons took Type 1 vaccine in October; 404,940 doses of Type 2 were administered in December. Those persons who took all three doses are believed to have the best and longest-lasting immunity available for polio, according to Dr. Russell B. Watson, coordinator of the Sabin On Sundays program. All three doses are necessary for complete immunity, Dr. Watson emphasized. He urged those persons who have not received the complete series of three doses to obtain the types they have missed from their private physicians.

Apparently in complete rapport are the Anaheim Union high school district, the Fullerton Placement and Brea Olinda districts. The four are leagued in the California junior college program which requires high school districts be contained within some junior college boundary by the year 1964. In the present three-district college set up for the county there would be four high school districts banded together in the northern area. Of the four, Fullerton is the only one to have already evolved its junior college program into a reality. Extensive grounds and facilities are in existence and committed to the use of the Fullerton junior college district. This has provided the other three areas concerned within the northern district with the knotty problem of how best to reconcile Eastern Theme At Orange Fete Floral Exhibit SAN BERNARDINO —Lavish floral displays centering around the International Flower and Garden Show at the National Orange Show March 14-24 by west coast nurserymen, landscape contractors, designers and architects all competing for nearly $1,300 in cash awards. The theme, "Oriental Splendor," which offers exhibitors a wide leeway for magnificent displays, is in honor of San Bernardino's sister city, Tachikawa, Japan. A replica of snowy Mount Fujiyama and a river spanned by oriental-type bridges will be part of the general decorations for the interment exhibit. Entries in the nursery displays are open to the world, according to Harry Macres of Santa Ana, noted floral show manager and designer. Displays must cover 325 square feet and follow the show's 1963 theme. There will be one judging on March 13. Anaheim Man Wins Toastmaster Cup Gordon L. Bricken, Anaheim, is the winner of the Hughes Toastmasters Club serious speech contest. He was presented his permanent trophy by Bob Finney, Division "A" Lt. Governor of Toastmasters International. Bricken, who presented "The Long Long Line" will represent the club in the area contest in March. Runner-up was Jim Palin of Fullerton with his speech "What Will My County do for Me?" Other members participating were George Elias and Bob Johnson of would be four high school districts banded together in the northern area. Of the four, Fullerton is the only one to have already evolved its junior college program into a reality. Extensive grounds and facilities are in existence and committed to the use of the Fullerton junior college district. This has provided the other three areas concerned within the northern district with the knotty problem of how best to reconcile a fund program. Simple immediate merger could mean officials point out that Fullerton would be forced into a position of donating the facilities, for which they have already paid, for use during a period of adjustment until other junior colleges would be built. Fullerton would then also be called upon to pay its proportionate share toward the building of the new colleges which would be, in effect, for use by pupils other than from its original area. This problem has been the sub-(Continued On Page Two) Vets Warned On VA Report Five thousand Southern California veterans and dependents of veterans who are on Veterans Administration nonservice connected pension rolls have not returned a required income questionnaire; it was announced today by the VA. Seventy-five thousand of 80,000 Southern California disabled veterans have complied with the regulation, it was reported. Officials stated that veterans who fail to comply with this regulation not only face a discontinuance of pension, but may also be required to "pay back all pension received over the last year." Since these benefits are paid only to veterans, widows of veterans, dependent parents or minor children whose incomes are below certain limits, the VA is required by law to receive an income report each year to support the payments. VA officials today commented, "Lack of compliance will undoubtedly serve to greatly inconvenience, if not actually cause suffering to aged and disabled VA pensioners." Teams Begin Member Race For Chamber Chamber of Commerce membership teams are today driving toward the goal of 300 new members they seek to sign up during the current campaign to bring the total of members up to an even 1,000.
