Craig from the new area as one of three appointments to the New Men on City Group In anticipation of the annexation of the Yorba Linda area to the city of Anaheim, the city council this week names James C. Craig from the new area as one of three appointments to the city planning commission. Two others named were James A. Sides and Mel Gauer, the latter a near 30-year veteran on the commission and it perennial chairman. The two new names on the commission, Craig and Side, filled the facancies created by the expiration of Al Marcoux's term of office and the death of Euene P. Hapgood. Craig declared he was "honored by the selection for service on the commission" and declared that he was pleased by the action of the commission in giving recognition to the new area right at the outset of union rather than waiting for official annexation. “This is certainly a favorable note for the area which probably will be a new member of the Anaheim family.” Craig said. “I refer to the selection of someone from the Yorba Linda area as a member at this time of the important Planning Commission. Certainly there will be matters of concern to this area to come before the commission long before the official annexation may be accomplished. We may all feel we are not only being considered, but are also giving consideration to others by this move.” Craig lives at 18662 Buena Vista in Yorba Linda. Gauer and Sides are Anaheim residents, the former at 212 N. Helena and Sides at 2418 Standish Ave. Gauer has been a resident of Anaheim for the past 38 years. He was first elected to the commission in 1934 and has served continuously since. He was a former superintendent of schools here, from 1925 and 1957. Gauer has been active in civic and cultural activities of the city throughout the years. Sides has lived in Anaheim for nearly eight years. He is the head of Hardin Oldsmobile agency here. He is past president of the Anaheim High School Booster Club, past president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce and With the assurance of the city council that present estate-sized zoning will be continued in the Peralta Hills section of the Yorba Linda annex, residents of the so-called "Beverly Hills" area are expected to favor annexation. This is the concensus of the Anaheim officials who moved during the week to give complete assurance to the property owners that the present zoning restrictions would be continued. A delegation from the Peralta Hills Section first appeared before the city planning commission with a request that they include a legal expression on the zoning in the minutes of the commission. This request was not appropriate to the planning group, city officials held, but recommended the matter be brought before the city council for determination. A resolution was subsequently passed by the city council stating that present restrictive aspects would be continued. The council also directed an ordinance be prepared to embody the same policy. Minimum acre-size lots is the key feature of the zone. The Yorba Linda annexation vote is slated for April 9. The residents had asked for the assurances prior to be balloting.

First Aid Instruction A standard First Aid class is checked out by Wilson's detective March 7 at Ball Junior High School. School bus drivers whose cards will expire in the near future are urged to enroll. Instruction will be given by Red Cross instructor Roy Wade. Classes will be held from 7:00 — 9:00 p.m. for five consecutive weeks. City Sharing Top Land Role The continuing expansion of the electronic industry in Orange County will be a key reason for 1963 setting a new record in real estate activity for the area according to Jack Mullan, district vice president of the California Real Estate association. Anaheim will be one of the three top areas within the county to enjoy the greatest growth, he predicts. Huntington Beach and the city of Orange are the two other top locales. Mullan sees the real estate business in the county going over the 1962 record figure by at least 15 percent. The influx of industry, particularly electronic firms, will be the main source of the increase, he believes. "The these industries," he declared, "are bringing new money into the county at a healthy rate and are providing additional employment and construction." The 1962 figures for Orange County on construction valuation were $583,896,000. During the year some 33,414 residential units were built. Mullan declares that 1963 valuation will hit $685 million and that residential building will total about 40,000 units.

This is probably the only major consideration that will come before the planning commission before the conclusion of their action on the plan. It could result in a further public hearing for the plan if the analysis indicates the desirability of material changes. Minor changes in the General Plan would constitute only redrawing of graphic representations to conform to exact site developments which have recently taken place. Vote By July The planning commission is still shooting for completion of their action on the general plan in sufficient time for the city council to conduct its own hearings and determinations prior to the close of this fiscal year. This will put the General Plan in effect in Anaheim sometime in July. In substance, the above is the current status of the General Plan for the city as viewed by Dick Reese, City Planning Director. According to Reese the planning commission is desirous of providing the city council with a more exhaustive look at the multiple housing picture in Anaheim and to seek assurance the general plan reflects a stable future for this type of zoning. Covers Wide Area The planning staff is now engaged in developing the analysis requested. The study must include, according to Reese, the capabilities of contiguous areas as they are certainly contributing housing support for the industrial and commercial population. City officials have indicated the general plan is substantially as (Continued On Page Two) Permits Hit Million Mark Medic Training Classes by CD The pilot program in Orange County for the civil defense program in medical self-help training will get underway in Anaheim on Monday, March 11, Paul Hayes, city civil defense coordinator, announced. The first meeting of its kind in the county will be at Sycamore Junior high school. Additional classes will commence on the following Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights, he declared. The first four classes will consist of 25 students each and will meet one night each week for nine weeks. The Tuesday night class will meet at Sycamore school while the next two nights are scheduled for Fremont Junior high school. Seek One Adult The goal of the program is to instruct at least one adult member of each family in medical self-help. The courses are designed to provide a knowledge and some skills in treating injuries and caring for the sick in case of a nuclear attack or any disaster such as a flood or earthquake. Additional classes are in the process of formation to start shortly at other schools in Anaheim. At the present time a total of some 325 enrollments have been of 25 students are available given school.

Permits Hit Million Mark Building permits went over the million mark during the past week in Anaheim as two large apartment developments and a telephone exchange were placed on the lists. The largest of the entries was for 22 four - unit apartments with 109 garages to be built by V.N.L. Construction Co., Inc. The development is slated for $200 S. Nutwood and will have a total valuation of $867,000. Florence Janes, 311 W. Katella Ave., applied for the next highest item for the week with a $256,250 development of 18 apartments. The units are to be located near Leantrice Lane and Wakefield St. The Pacific Telephone Co. has applied for a permit to build an $80,000 exchange at Orange and Knott avenues. Other permit items that sent the total up included the following: Autonetics Division of North American Aviation made application for five permits totaling $8,319 to cover certain remodeling work; Williams Manufacturing Co. obtained a permit to build a $28,000 commercial building at 419 E.

Collections received from California drivers' payments of motor vehicle license fees, registration and operator's license fees and related revenues have topped $233.6 million, State Treasurer Bert A. Betts reported today. It is a gain of about 11 percent over last year's. As the official depository for such collections, the State Treasurer's Office invests these monies from the time of receipt until they are expended. During the current collection period these investments earned about $82 per day on each million dollars invested. The total of $233.6 million collected from last December 1 through February 15, Betts said, is $22.7 million higher than that of a year ago. More than $153 million was collected during the month of January, exceeding by $33 million the total in January 1962. Motor vehicle license fees are those based on 2 percent of the market value of vehicles as mined by the State Department Motor Vehicles. They make the Motor Vehicle License Fund, and were initiated in city and county taxation motor vehicles as personal property. The Motor Vehicle Fund, other hand, is drawn from sources as registration, transfer, driver's license and ravan fees, interest from the plus Money Investment Fund transfers of appropriations to the Motor Vehicle License Fund for the use of the Department.

The one is to approve a necessary bond issue for the building of a much-needed city administrative center and the second is to decide upon its location. Both of these questions came to the fore during the past week as Mayor Rex Coons expressed city council sentiments on the pressing need for new city facilities. The next possible election time for such a venture would be April, 1964, unless it were determined that a special election were needed of the downtown commercial area. This report brought forth considerabl protest from proponents of the idea that the city should have a "center" for its activities. That this point is still a major issue is indicated by the talk of a special election to handle the proposed development rather than to include it as part of the regular election. Some councillmen have indicated favor for the special vote rather than to become involved in an election which could include the location as a promin- Training by CD 25 students are available for a seven school.

The membership aims reported a total of 102 new members signed up in the 10 day period. Reports on membership were made at the combined Victory banquet and regular quarterly meeting of the general membership held at the Anaheim Bowl. Top winners in the membership contest were Frank Feldhaus, owner of Guardian Telephone answering Service, first; Dr. Daniel Ninburg, second, and Dan Russell, general manager of radio station KEZY, third. Hold Tax Rate But a key consideration in all of the preliminary talk on the subject has been the determination of city council members to hold the present $1.10 tax rate while accomplishing the developments. Coons stated the council position on this point by emphasizing that the studies to be initiated must demonstrate the city can support such a bond issue and amortize it properly while still holding to the current tax rate. The cramped, as well as scattered, facilities of the city administrative set-up are not conductive to efficiency nor effectiveness of operations in service to the public, officials declare. The staff of more than 900 persons and the responsibilities which have evolved though the growth of Anaheim in the past several years now far exceed the capabilities of the present city hall, they declare. Such protestations were recognized by Anaheim citizens some years ago in recommendations prepared by a special Civic Building Commission. The special subcommittee on Public Buildings declared city hall needs would be some three times then existant facility. This was in 1958. In 1960 a report was submitted by the Western Real Estate Research as a result of their analysis of city hall needs which placed the new edifice in the Broadway one is to approve a necessary bond issue for the building of a much-needed city administrative center and the second is to decide upon its location. Both of these questions came to the fore during the past week as Mayor Rex Coons expressed city council sentiments on the pressing need for new city facilities. The next possible election time for such a venture would be April, 1964, unless it were determined that a special election were needed. Coupled to the city hall project will certainly be the Nohl Ranch water reservoir which has been determined to be vital to the city before the expected water shortage cycle of 1970-1972. With other developments, such as sewer expansion also in the mill, there is no firm figure at hand as to the probable amount of the proposed bond issue although Coons did mention $10 million Valid figures as to cost could only come after more detailed plans than are now available were approved. Engle Hopeful Senators Will Tend Business WASHINGTON, D.C. — Senator Clair Engle (D-Calif.) wants Senators to confine their speeches to business before the Senate — at least for four hours a day. Rules now allow Senators to interrupt one discussion taking place on the floor of the Senate by inserting a totally new and different topic into the debate. Senator Engle explained, "One Senator can now deliver an important and detailed speech on foreign affairs or tax policy and be followed by a comment from one of his colleagues on broken sewer lines on Main Street in his home-town. "Such local problems certainly may be discussed on the floor of the Senate but not in the midst of important debate," he said. Senator Engle has joined as co-sponsor of a resolution which would set aside four hours a day to consider the unfinished or pending business before the Senate and only at the conclusion of that time allow discussion of extraneous subjects. This procedure is already followed in the House of Representatives. Senator Engle continued, "This resolution would provide a four-hour period during which businesses could be pursued with no in- Reports on membership were made at the combined Victory banquet and regular quarterly meeting of the general membership held at the Anaheim Bowl. Top winners in the membership contest were Frank Feldhaus, owner of Guardian Telephone Answering Service, first; Dr. Daniel Ninburg, second, and Dan Russell, general manager of radio station KEZY, third. Guest speaker for the general meeting was Dr. Orville Cole, president of the Long Beach market value of vehicles as determined by the State Department of Motor Vehicles. They make up the Motor Vehicle License Fee fund, and were initiated in lieu of city and county taxation of motor vehicles as personal property. The Motor Vehicle Fund, on the other hand, is drawn from such sources as registration, weight, transfer, driver's license, and cashman fees, interest from the Survival Money Investment Fund and transfers of appropriations from the Motor Vehicle License Fee fund for the use of the Department. Note 12c per Share The board of directors of Insurance Securities Incorporated was voted to declare the regular quarterly dividend of 12 cents per share payable April 2. 1963 to stockholders of record March 15, 1963, it was announced today by Ireland M. Kaiser, president. Such protestations were recognized by Anaheim citizens some years ago in recommendations prepared by a special Civic Building Commission. The special subcommittee on Public Buildings declared city hall needs would be some three times the then existant facility. This was in 1938. In 1960 a report was submitted by the Western Real Estate Research as a result of their analysis of city hall needs which placed the new edifice in the Broadway-Harbor area. The report indicated the present location of the administrative building was not necessary for any reason including that of contributing to the success. Two Anaheim Nurses Named as Delegates Mrs. Frank Christian, Founders Day chairman, introduced the Past Presidents who had been honored with a luncheon at Hal Gregg's Steak House prior to the meeting. Those attending were Mmes. Arthur Kemper, Richard Glover, Leo Fries, Russell Renner, Oliver O'Brien, James Griffith, Frank Christian, Robert Loomis, and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mattox, past principal of Horace Mann. Each past president was presented with a corsage. The convention of the California Nurses' Association will be held in Los Angeles at the Statler-Hilton Hotel, Thursday, March 7 through Tuesday, March 12. There will be seven delegates representing Orange County District 16 of C.N.A. this year. Delegates are: Mmes. William E. Johnson, president of District 16, of Santa Ana, Joseph Scharoum, La Habra, executive secretary of District 16, Austin Haromon, Santa Ana, Ruth Whitman, Garden Grove; T. Huish, Anaheim, and Miss Wanda McCartt, Anaheim. Senator Engle has joined as co-sponsor of a resolution which would set aside four hours a day to consider the unfinished or pending business before the Senate and only at the conclusion of that time allow discussion of extraneous subjects. This procedure is already followed in the House of Representatives. Senator Engle continued. "This resolution would provide a four-hour period during which business could be pursued with no irrelevant interruptions. "There must be a continuity and a discipline to discussions if debate on the floor of the Senate is to be more than a mere series of unrelated insertions for the Congressional Record." In parliamentary language, the resolution would "amend the rules of the Senate relative to germaneness of debate." It provides that during the four-hour period all debate motions shall be germane." Water Resource Expert to Talk Henry P. Caulfield, assistant director of the Resources Program Staff of the U.S. Department of Interior, will address the Pacific Southwest Inter-Agency Committee Thursday morning during the group's 3-day conference at the Charter House Hotel in Anaheim. Mr. Caulfield will discuss the Administration's basic concepts and standards in water resources planning. Nearly 100 are expected to hear his address. Caulfield, who received his B.S. and masters degree from Harvard cum laude, is the chairman of the inter-departmental staff committee of the President's Ad Hoc Water development, and is developing new criteria to meet present and future demands on the nation's water resources.
