Abrecht and Clifford Haskell, vice presidents; Robert L. Wetzler, treasurer, and Mrs. Al Casebeer, recording secretary.

Eliason, Richard Gay, Russell Hess, Lloyd Klein, A. L. Mahoney, Kiyoski Shiegekawa, Dr. William Stocks, Mrs. Foster Warwich, James Jackson, Dale Blank, Marion Disbennet, Glen Frye, Jr., Rev. George Mann and Mrs. W. F. Roberson. $10,000 Offer Substantial financial support for the YMCA building program was announced by Gay as being offered by Howard Bryan. Bryan's offer, according to Gay, was that he would pay $10,000 toward the payment of the mortgage on the future home of the "Y" at Loara and West Broadway if YMCA members would raise the $30,000 balance. The deadline for the payment is July 1 of this year, Gay said. Young Speaks Dr. Ronald C. S. Young of the General Motors Corps, speakers' bureau spoke on the "Challenge of World Leadership." He said democracy has made the biggest gains in the 20th Century, not communism. "The fundamental reason democracy has made its gains is in our concept of work," Dr. Young stated. The communists idea of work is a means to itself, ours is to attain a goal, he said. "Nowhere has any other country dignified work as the United States has," he said. The idea of work is ethical and there is no ethics in communism, he said. Groups such as the YMCA, the church and parents must teach children the ethics of work to make things better, he said. "If we wake up some morning and find it (any American freedom taken for granted) gone, it will not have been taken — it will have been because we have not attended to preserving it," he said.

By 1980, C.C.H. reports amount of benefits paid out o- be about 27 billion, more th- twice the amount paid out so far Costs are expected to average to 9.25 per cent of covered p- roll, and the tax schedules now the law are expected to yield j- about this same percentage.

Member, California Newspaper Publishers Association Sumner Head Of Transport Study Group Formation of a Citizens Committee for Better Transportation was announced today. The Committee is made up of civic, business and political leaders from all over the Southland. One of the objectives of this committee is to encourage railroads to provide shot - haul intercommunity trans-short-haul intercommunity trans-work of tracks in the Southland. Bruce Sumner, State Republican Leader, Attorney and former Assemblyman, is the Orange County area co - chairman. In announcing' the formation of the Committee, Sumner said, "Orange County needs a public transportation system more than any other metropolitan area in the country. It is incredible to me that we have made no serious attempt to utilize existing facilities, namely, railroads to their fullest potential. I particularly like the suggestion because the basic rail facilities are now in existence, the men in the railroad business have the know how, and finally, because here we have a free enterprise solution to an admitted problem. Railroads pay taxes and are good citizens. What could be more logical than to work with these experts in solving our transportation problem, rather than to turn to bigger government." EASTER SEAL CHILD — 8-year old Lorie Burton of San Jose has been chosen as California's Easter Seal Child to symbolize the 1963 fund appeal which will open March 7 and continue through Easter Sunday, April 14.

Although he could be good citizens, what could be more logical than to work with these experts in solving our transportation problem, rather than to turn to bigger government." Advise Veterans On Tax Reports Although veterans benefits are tax-free and need not be reported on 1962 Federal income tax returns, interest earned on GI life insurance dividends left on deposit with the VA is not a "benefit" and is taxable. Mort Webster, Manager of VA's Southern California Regional Office, cautioned today. The proceeds of a GI life insurance policy are tax-free including the dividends themselves. Webster pointed out. Other VA benefits which need not be reported on Federal income tax returns include: Education and training allowances for Korean conflict veterans still in school or training establishments; subsistence payments made to disabled veterans under training; disability compensation and pension payments; grants to seriously disabled veterans for homes designed for "wheelchair living"; grants for motor vehicles to severely disabled veterans; World War I emergency officers' retirement pay and all benefits to families of deceased veterans.

Publishers Association adequate in its present form as is practicable to adopt. The idea stems from the requirements of the State Conservation and Planning Law which required cities to prepare and adopt some sort of a master plan. Several years have been spent by Anaheim departments in the preparation of the plan. Proponents declare that, although it is purposely general in many respects, yet it is specific enough to provide protection for the property owner who wishes to retain or buy with a future use purpose in mind. The general plan may be viewed, according to officials, as a guide for future growth. "What" will be "where" is the general idea behind the location of the various zones with the "when" left up to the time of the actual city growth and the value standards in vogue at that time. The second and final public hearing on the plan held by the city planning commission was punctuated by dissents as to its value by two home owners groups. The Rio Vista Homeowners, through their spokesman William Silverman, declared the plan did not provide precise enough determinations. The Westridge Homeowners, represented by John Simpson and William Wend, also objected to the plan, but more from the standpoint of type zoning than for generality. The lack of precise distributions of zoning capabilities has been defended by city planning staff members on the grounds such definitions may best be accomplished as time goes along rather than on the basic general plan. Moving from a general basis will also permit property owners to seek another type of zoning with greater facility, planners declare. Dr. Glenn S. Dumke, Chancellor of the California State Colleges, will be the commencement speaker for Orange State College this June, according to President William B. Landsdorf's office. Chancellor Dumke is chief executive of the 17-college California State College complex, the largest and oldest system of higher education in the state. Although the subject of his address will be announce at a later date, the Chancellor has accepted the College's invitation to be the guest speaker at the Sunday, June 9 commencement. Approximately 350 seniors will be awarded their bachelor of arts degrees that day, according to the Coordinator of Commencement, Dean Emmett T. Long. This will be the fourth commencement exercise in the short history of Orange State College, and the largest yet. OSC President Langsdorf has named a 1963 Commencement Committee to handle arrangements for the June event, it was revealed. Serving with Dean Long will be faculty members Dr. Mildred R. Donoghue, Dr. J. William Maxwell, Dr. Orrington C. Ramsey and David O. Thorsen; staff members Carol N. Burns and Eva Jensen; Raynolds Johnson, assistant to the president, and senior class president Jack R. Clement. Dr. Dumke was appointed Chancellor of the California State Colleges in April of 1962, after having served as Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs. Previous to that time Dr. Dumke had been president of San Francisco State College. A noted scholar and historian, as well as administrator, Chancellor Dumke is a graduate of Occidental College, where he received his advanced degrees and held both teaching and administrative posts.

Two More Judges For City Courts The Anaheim-Fullerton Municipal Court District will get two more court judges to help meet the steadily increasing case load. This is the undated prospect for harassed Judge Raymond Vincent of Anaheim after successfully substantiating his case before county supervisors. County supervisors pledged action would be taken to oust two more jurists. The first step in the program will be recommendations to the state legislature for the increased benches. Vincent, appearing before supervisors, named a mounting endar, increased filings, and arraignments, and an exploding population as several of the reasons for the immediate need for additional judges in the north county area. Armed with statistics to show his court as being one of the busiest in the state, Judge Vincent told supervisor only "partime" jury trial could be held due to the late start following morning arrangement and calendar demands. According to Judge Vincent's figures the Anaheim — Fullerton court served more than half of the county population and, for courts of its size, had more small claims and traffic filings and was second in the total cases tried. 29 Get City Service Pin Anaheim city employees were honored this week by recognition for their faithful service to the city over varying periods of years.

Nearly three years were spent by the city, involving civic groups,city councilmen and administrative personnel as wel las so-called expert agencies in determiningthe needs of the city over a period of some two score future years. The full scale program evolved in the original forecast would have entailed the expenditure of about $32,000,000.
