Pictured is the contiguous area to a large share of the funland's parking space. To Share Disneyland Parking City Moves to Build Convention Complex The building of a $4.2 million municipal auditorium and convention hall complex in the Disneyland area is expected within the next 18 months at no additional cost to the general taxpayer. This is the basic plan of the city council as they accepted and acted upon a report from a special Auditorium and Convention Hall committee headed by Howard Loudon. The council believes there will be no need for the voting of general bonds if the "pay as you go" special tax revenues and other sources to be tapped produce on the scale expected. To Tap Benefits A four percent motel-hotel room tax, plus additional funds from sales tax and the general fund will be used to finance the project on a two-stage building program. City Council voted unanimously to accept and follow the 8-point program recommended by its convention hall committee. According to plans, the convention complex will be built in two stages "without detriment to the project." First to be built will be the arena and exhibition hall, food service facilities, meeting rooms and parking. The second section would be the theater. It was noted in the committee recommendation that this set up is most practical since a theater-in-the-round is nearing completion behind the Charterhouse Hotel on Harbor Blvd. 10 Acres Parking The yet to be selected site will The revenues from the various sources visualized by the committee were, for the first year, $260,000 from the tax on hotel and motel rooms; $32,500 from tax on restaurants and bars; $22,500 from retail sales tax, $110,000 on rental of the facility and $47,500 from local use of the facility. A total of $472,500 for the first year which the committee places as the amount needed to meet first year expenses. The eight point program recommended to the city was: (1) That the City Council establish a special fund for the financing of the facility. (2) That the City Council take the necessary steps to amend the business license ordinance to provide for a maximum 4 per cent room occupancy license to be used for no purpose other than to partially finance, maintain and operate the facility. (3) To allocate the recommended amounts from the sales tax and from the general fund. (4) Negotiate for construction funds from private sources, to be repaid as recommended. (5) Purchase or option approximately 18 acres of land in the Disneyland area. (6) Initiate negotiations with Disneyland for the use of ten acres of parking. (7) Employ architect to prepare preliminary plans for total facility and final plans for the SRI Alter nate Plan II (arena, Exhibition Hall, and meeting rooms). (8) Advertise for and award contract for the construction of Plan II facilities as soon as plans are accepted and financing is arranged. Three Firms Unite on Air Defense Offer Hughes Aircraft Company, Douglas Aircraft Company, and FMC corporation, have combined to submit a joint proposal to the U.S. Army Missile Command for the design, development, and production of the AADS-70 program officials of the three companies announced. AADS-70 (Army Air Defense System — 1970) is an integrated mobile, air-transportable sensor and weapons system. In combining their accumulated management, engineering and production capabilities, Hughes Douglas, and FMC offer a team having long successful experience manufacturing the advanced systems required in the AADS-70 program. First to be built will be the arena and exhibition hall, food service facilities, meeting rooms and parking. The second section would be the theater. It was noted in the committee recommendation that this set up is most practical since a theater-in-the-round is nearing completion behind the Charterhouse Hotel on Harbor Blvd. 10 Acres Parking The yet to be selected site will be approximately 18 acres. Disneyland's share in the project will be to provide an additional 10 acres for parking. Name New JA Program Head Paul Covate has been appointed to the new position of Manager-Program Operations for Junior Achievement of Southern California. He was previously Supervisor-Zone. Operations of the program of private enterprise education for teenagers. JA Executive Vice President Clarence Parker stated that Covate will be responsible for planning the activities of Southern California’s 10 JA business centers. one of which is located in Anaheim. According to Parker, the rapid expansion of Junior Achievement in the southland necessitated the new position. “This is the fastest-growing JA program in the nation,” he said. “When Junior Achievement started here in 1954, our one business center accommodated 25 JA companies and 350 members. This year, 2700 members are operating 166 JA companies in 10 locations. Plans for next year call for 3000 members and 177 companies in 11 business centers.” Officers were announced today for a newly formed group dedicated to showing Orange County’s best hospitality to the many distinguished visitors who came here from other nations each year. The Orange County Council for International Visitors was founded at a luncheon meeting in Anaheim, and Mrs. Glen J. Beckwith of Santa Ana was elected executive director. Mrs. Beckwith has been working as a volunteer for the past eight years as hostess and coordinator for many visitors to the county from all parts of the globe. She has done so under auspices of the U.S. State Department and as International Hostess of the California Federation of Woman's Clubs, both regional and county. Other officers elected at the meeting were: Clif McAfee, Los Alamitos Race Course, president; Dan Russell, KEZY, first vice president; Mrs. William Bradley, Tustin Woman's Club, vice president - special events; Clyde Tussey, Valen & Tussey, Inc., vice president - mbmership; Fred Clatworthy, Union Bank, treasurer, and Mrs. Robert L. Logan, Union Bank, recording secretary. McAfee said the new organization will be a voluntary, non-profit group which will attempt to show visitors the true picture of business, cultural and recreational life in the area. At the same time, it will remove the heavy load of such entertainment from private individuals where it primarily has been in the past. Some 300 visitors from other nations are expected to visit Orange County this year. Gifts Accepted By High Schools A variety of needed items will be provided for Anaheim Union High School District Schools through gifts accepted the past week from parents and a community organization. Parents of students attending the Trident Junior High School offered $50 for the purchase of some needed lights for the west entrance gate at the school. The trustees also accepted a gift of $10 from Mr. and Mrs. Claude Eidhluber and $1.00 from the Savanna Booster Club to be used at Savanna High School. Landscaping of the school is to be improved by the use of the funds. eim Gazette published Continuously in Orange County's "Number One" City For 92 Years 10 Pages Anaheim, California, Wednesday, March 20, 1963 Centralia Senior, Two Schools on Building Press Need Of Stadium Fire Station Finish Seen In Early May A report recommending exedition action on the part of the Anaheim Union High School District to erect new stadium facilities has been taken under advisement by the board of trustees.

But the city council, following a recommendation by its city engineer, James Maddox, has set the date for completion at February 19. In between these two dates ap- A report recommending exedient action on the part of the Anaheim Union High School District to erect new stadium facilities has been taken under advisement by the board of trustees. The report, made after lengthy analysis of present capabilities and future requirements, included the recommendation that the new stadium be erected at Western High School grounds. The lack of immediate funds available to authorize the building is the reason for the "go-slowly" action of the board, according to officials. Although the report was "taken under advisement," trustees indicated they would place the matter in the hands of the architectural firm of Smith, Powell and Morgridge for study and recommendation on how realization might best be obtained. Build In Stages The board hopes architects may be able to devise a plan whereby the new stadium could be built in states that would be in coincidence with the availability of funds. For example, stadium seats would be built well before dressing rooms, loudspeaker systems, etc. The Anaheim Chamber of Commerce also has a stadium committee at work and school trustees are hoping to get together with this group before coming to any decisions on procedure. Prospects are for a joint meeting in the near future of the two stadium committees as well as members of the school board and the architects. The only existing facilities in Anaheim, the La Palma Stadium, are insufficient, said the committee. The stadium cannot handle the needs of the present five high schools in the district, and with new three high schools coming in the near future, the need is conclusive, said the committee. Outgrown La Palma Stadium is an adequate facility in itself, the committee said, but "under the most favorable conditions the home Ad Men to Hear Hemmings Talk 'From Gags to Riches' is the program to be presented by Ornithology.

The committee cautioned against scheduling games on Thursday nights or Saturday afternoons as being on the one hand, an unfavorable influence on the academic program, and on the other, reduced income due to meaber gate receipts. The committee report visualizes a stadium with 7,500 seats surrounding a football field, with regulation track and field facilities. Western High was suggested as the most feasible, being centrally located between new high schools to be built as well as Savanna and Magnolia High Schools.
