YL Voting April Expect Annexation To Anaheim to Win On April 9 one of the more important annexations will be voted upon by residents of an area continuous to Anaheim. On that Tuesday next week the voters of Yorba Linda will go to the polls and ballot as to whether or not they desire to become a part of Anaheim. Oddly, despite what the vote may be, the expression of the electorate will not determine the matter. There is still pending before the courts the case developing from Placentia's efforts to block the annexation. The Yorba Linda annexation has had a stormy path through the long months preceding the coming balloting. The nearly 10 - square miles of territory, which includes some of the more choice residential areas of the southland, has been through the throes of possible incorporation, annexation by Placentia, annexation by Anaheim, protestations against any annexations and the court fight already cited. Expert Approval There has been some steady progress during the past several months, however, toward the orderly annexation by Anaheim that is expected by most to be the judgement the Yorba Lindans will express at the polls.

A community committee, the Yorba Linda Improvement Association, had been formed and provided the impetus for the Anaheim move. The committee was originally formed to study and recommend suitable action for the area to adopt. The outcome of their analysis led to the request for Anaheim annexation. Anaheim also moved to name Dan Foley of Yorba Linda to the charter planning group and has recently selected James Craig as a member of the city's planning commission. Polls Listed As a service to voters in the area the Gazette provides a complete list of polling places and officials serving: 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. Inspector—Henrietta N. Wood; Judges: Marily L. Dickenson and Florence M. Campbell. Precinct No. 2, comprising the Centralia Pool Accord A mutual agreement between Cypress Park and Recreation District and the Anaheim Union High School District will result in the building and maintenance of a $90,000 swimming pool at Centralia High School. The two political bodies announced this week an agreement by which Cypress will pay the school district for expenses incurred in the construction of the pool, a share of the architectural fees, and share in expenses. A 20-year effective period may be written into the final accord. WELCOME TEA FOR UNDERSECRETARY — The Orange County Chapter of the American Association for United Nations sponsored a tea for Dr. Ralph Bunche during his stay in the area, and just prior to his talk at Chapman Bunche Asserts Changes in World The only radicalism that may be associated with the United Nations lies in its interpretation that radical change in the present state of tensions between nations must occur as well as radical change in the status of conditions in these societies knowing only misery as their daily lot. This was the substance of Dr. Ralph Bunche's approach to better understanding for the organization which he serves as Under Secretary in his talk before a Chapman College Artist Lecture Series audience this week. He also devoted considerable time and effort to clarify the U.N. position in the Congo and somewhat less time to the segregation of U.N. and Bunche detractors into a radical right. Pickets Present The lecture was picketed by placard-carrying men and women asking to get the "U.U.S. out of the U.N. and accusing the U.N. of "murder in the Congo" Katanga the right of self determination. Bunche asserted Katanga lacked propriety for such termination in as much as it a province of the Congo and an independent state. Bunche did not elaborate on cividents and factors which have led to the actions of the various Congo leaders in paving way for the various U.N. members except in his introduction to Congo issue. Here he declared Double Fund A The Anaheim Public Library seeks a greatly increased application for purchase of new books. Colonist Wins Academic Honor ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Midshipman Second Class James G. McWalters, 22, son of Mr. and Mrs. John R. McWalters of 2323 Seville Anaheim has been named to the Superintendents List for the first half of the second term of the academic year at the Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md. The Academys Superintendents List corresponds to the Deans List in civilian colleges and universities. In addition to high academic scores, midshipmen must have high marks in conduct, aptitude and physical education to be selected for the list. Plan Family Finance Workshop for UCLA A summer workshop in family finance will be given at the University of California at Los Angeles for the ninth consecutive year, according to Dr. Lawrence W. Erickson, director of the workshop. The course, limited to educators, will run from June 17 to July 20. He also devoted considerable time and effort to clarify the U.N. position in the Congo and somewhat less time to the segregation of U.N. and Bunche detractors into a radical right. Pickets Present The lecture was picketed by placard-carrying men and women asking to get the "U.U.S. out of the U.N. and accusing the U.N. of 'murder in the Congo'." The picket lines were quiet and orderly as they paraded and handed out leaflets carrying some of Congressman James Utt's remarks on the U.N. and Bunche. The U.N. official alluded to the pickets during his talk and generaly to Republican opponents of the U.N. roles. Goldwater, Utt and the "Orange County Press" seemed to share his greatest displeasure but he offered no direct charges, apparently content with the relegations he made in bantering fashion. Possibly his sharpest - tongued attack was directed against Adam Clayton Powell for the latter's remarks about the national society for advancement of colored people. "Outrageous," he labelled Powell for decrying the presence of whites in the organization. As the U.N.'s key figure in the Congo matter, Bunche gave listeners a brief resume of the dispute and what he termed the three major areas of misunderstanding. He declared the first misunderstanding of import was that of not knowing the U.N. had been asked to ente rthe Congo by the Congolese government at the time of the mutiny of the country's federal forces. The second area many failed to grasp was that U.N. presence in Katanga was at the invitation of Tshombe, and not a forced entry. The third is that the U.N. denied April 9 Whittier College Magazine The current issue of McCall's magazine has singled out Whittier College as one of the 37 best all, moderately priced, private institutions of higher education in the United States. Whittier is the only California college to be so honored. The evaluation is based on an article by James Hampton which selects the 37 schools on the basis quality of education, cost, physical facilities and national accreditation. Whittier has been placed in this category by McCall's for the past several years.

The purpose of "Hospitala City to Let To Guide Tourists A large gathering of hotel and motel owners and managers from communities in California, Nevada and Arizona were the guests for two days this past week of the hotel - motel members of the Anaheim Area Visitor and Convention Bureau. The gathering has been titled "Hospitality Holiday," and during the two-day period while the visitors were in the area, they were treated to a round of activities that "endoctrinated them on the many wonderful attractions in America's Hub of Happiness." Part of the plans had each visitor graduated at a commencement dinner with the degree of Ambassador at Large. The chairman of the committee for the program was Arthur Herman. The purpose of "Hospitality" City to Let Katella Link Storm Drain County Office Branches Seen The possibility of Branch Service Centers to serve the population centers of the county distant from Santa Ana is contained in the instructions of the county Board of Supervisors to the Building Services Committee in a new utilization and need study. That this was one of the facets of recent instructions to the committee was announced today by William J. Phillips, Third District Supervisor. He said the county is presently confronted with the problem of providing adequate space to accommodate the various departments and Courts at the Civic Center area. Bids for the construction of a new link in the city's storm drain system will be received on April 18, according the James Maddox city engineer. The work is expected to be begun early this summer and completed early in September. The construction planned calls for 3,280 feet of reinforced pipe some eight feet in diameter. This will be the largest ever laid in the city. The so-called Katella Avenue drain will begin east of the Anaheim-Barber city channel and continue to Casa Vista street one portion of the work. A second portion of the link extends between Casa Vista and West Street. This will be built after the eighth September deadline for the first increment. Bids will be advertised on April 4 and 11, according to Maddox. Isserts Radical in World Needed anga the right of self determination, Bunche asserted Katanna backed propriety for such denation in as much as it was province of the Congo and not independent state. Bunche did not elaborate on incidents and factors which may led to the actions of the vari- Congo leaders in paving the for the various U.N. moves kept in his introduction to the Congo issue. Here he declared the mutiny of the Congolese troops was largely due to the lack of native officers to exercise control, the highest ranking Congolese being a sergeant. The mutiny of the troops, when freed from Belgian discipline, prompted the Congo president to appeal to Eisenhower for help, Eisenhower, according to Bunche, told the Congo to direct their appeal to the U.N. and U.N. entrance followed. Doubled Library Und Asked City the Anaheim Public Library will be greatly increased appropriation for purchase of new books said Chairman Fry, "and if alone will require some $50,000 worth of books to stock adequate." Doubled Library Found Asked City The Anaheim Public Library will be greatly increased appropriation for purchase of new books upon forthcoming budget, it has disclosed by Glenn G. Fry, Library Board Chairman. The library currently purchases $75,000 worth of books each year. The proposed budget, which has been approved to the City Administra-tory would double this amount to $100,000. We would be derelict in our attention to the community as mem-bers of the Library Board if we do not seek to meet Anaheim's needs for library service," Mr. said. He pointed out that the current book collection is inadequate for a city even half as large as Anaheim and that with the upcoming opening of the new regional library the problem will become more acute. Approved along with the re-ated increase in money for new books by the Library Board was request for the construction of branch library, which would be Anaheim's second. "This national branch is badly needed." Merrifield at Meet A. W.

Fry were renewed by appointment this week on action of Mayor Rex Coons and the city council. The terms of office of the two members are due to expire on April 30. In making the reappointment of the two members to the board, and the subsequent confirmation by the members of the city council, the work of Mrs. Raymond and of Fry were praised by members of the council. There has been extensive advancement of library facilities in the city during the past few years and much of the results are a direct reflection of the dedicated service of the board members, council members said. Library Staff Adds Quintet The expanded facilities and demands upon those facilities of the Anaheim Public Library have led to the increase in the staff membership, library officials disclosed this week. Five new members were added in various departments. Miss Mary Lou Begert, a 1962 graduate of St. Anthony High School in Long Beach, took her first job as clerk at the Elva L. Haskett Branch, 2650 W.

The members of the Visitor and Convention Bureau are convinced that this is the natural headquarters for a Southern California vacatation, and are out to prove it to their compatriots in other areas. More "Hospitality Holidays" are planned for the future because of the excellent reception this one has enjoyed from hotel and motel managers who, because of other commitments, were unable to attend at this time.

Dyke Water (Continued From Page One) tendent, says the integration work will require from one to two days to complete although individual houseowners will be at an inconvenience only for only one to three hours as the wirk is done in his particular area. Lenain plans a warning system to houseowners that will give them sufficient time to store a supply to cover the work period. He has told the 7150 householders who will be serviced by Anaheim, that the changeover will necessitate the shut-off of water during the cutting and capping work. Lenain urges homemakers faced with the possible need of water during the short stoppage, to store adequate drinking and cooking water. He said his men will attempt to remind people of the shut-off but some may be missed. Lenain identified the two major tie-in points as "O nOrangewood at Eugene Street; and on Ninth Street, north of Lorane." Lenain urger homemakers faced with the possible need of water during the short stoppage, to store adequate drinking and cooking water. He said his men will attempt to remind people of the shut-off but some may be missed. Lenain identified the two major tie-in points as "O nOrangewood at Eugene Street; and on Ninth Street, north of Lorane." "Preparing the tie-ins will involve only turning off Dyke's valves and turning ours on for service," he said. The severance areas listed in the order of work are: "1-On Katella, 600-feet west of Euclid; 2-On Euclid at Katella; 3-On east side of Brookhurst at Katella; 4-On west side of Brookhurst at Katella; 5-On Katella, 412 ft. west of Brookhurst; 6-On Katella, 110-feet east of Brookhurst; 7-On Katella, at Gilbert; 8-On Waverly Dr., south of Lorane; 9-On Ninth street, south of Lorane (south of Orangewood); 10-On Orangewood 687-feet west of centerline of Harbor Blvd. The Anaheim City Council has already authorized payment to Dyke - for the water system - of $1,891,245. The check, signed by Anaheim Finance Director, Douglas K. Ogden and dated April 1, was made payable to the Title Insurance and Trust Company. The firm is acting as an agent for the Dyke Water Company. Purchase price includes 37 pumps and appurtenances (miles of pipe, valves, 32 water wells, etc.). Lenain expects his men to install a minimum of 100 meters each month. Only 341 meters were installed by Dyke since 1955, on directive from the Public Utilities Commission. Last year Dyke water users consumed 6,000 acre-feet of water. Lenain anticipates less waste of water, once meters are installed.
