Students Get Invitation to Food Careers Orange County high school and college students interested in careers in the health sciences or food management field are invited to attend "Student Recognition Day" at the California Dietetics Convention, Disneyland Hotel, Friday, May 10.

Individual questions in regard to educational requirements, necessary aptitudes, and career opportunities will be encouraged. According to Mrs. Joan S.

DC-9 Sales Off Ground Delta Air Lines has become the first airline in the world to place an order for the Douglas-built DC-9 twin jet. Two Minutes As 1980 California is growing at a rate just double that of the rest of the nation, according to the state Chamber of Commerce, and Orange County, by their figures, far outdistancing the state population growth figures. By July, 1980, Orange county can be expected to have a population of well over 2,000,000 persons, the state organization for casts. The growth figures for the county which the chamber released after their official records and forcast showed the county can expect to be on July 1 of the following years: 1965 — 1,113,200 1970 — 1,473,800 1975 — 1,815,700 1980 — 2,144,400 These figures will mean that Orange County will become the second ranking county in the state in population strength, exceeded only by Los Angeles county. The total for the state, the Chamber quoted from estimates will be 21,734,000 by 1970, a 38 percent increase over the 1970 figure of 15,717,204. The nation's population, meanwhile, is expected to rise from 180,007,000 in 1960 to 214,220,000 in 1970 — a 19 per cent increase. Using estimates and projection provided by state and federal agencies, the State Chamber Economic Development and Research Department further forecast that California will have 18 million For Size of Mighty GOVERNted by the Anaheim Day, holds information Officer, strictly to the line. They were photographed at their school, Western High, where their selection adds new honors to the well-stocked case behind them. DC-9 Sales Off Ground Delta Air Lines has become the first airline in the world to place an order for the Douglas-built DC-9 twin jet. Purchase of 15 short-heal DC-9's, at a total cost in excess of 50 million dollars, including spare parts, and an option on 15 more aircraft, was announced by C. E. Woolman, president and general manager, at the regular quarterly meeting of the company's Board of Directors held in Atlanta. Delta, the nation's fifth largest air carrier also introduced the Douglas DC-8 and Convair 830 Jets domestically to commercial aviation. The DC-9 program, Mr. Woolman said, will not require any immediate additional financing. Delivery of the DC-9, which has a capacity of 56 to 83 passengers and cruises at 560 miles per hour up to 30,000 feet, will begin early in 1966. Douglas Aircraft Company has said that the airplane's first flight is scheduled for the spring of 1965 with certification to follow later than year. The DC-9, designed as an eventual replacement for propeller aircraft now serving many cities on short haul routes throughout the world is seen by many aviation leaders as the workhorse airplane of the next decade as the DC-3 was in the 1940's and early 1950's. Korean Vets Get Warning On Insurance Approximately 165,000 Korean Conflict veterans have about six months remaining in which to take advantage of the $18 million in special insurance dividends to be paid to those exchanging "RS" insurance policies for policies bearing the letter "W", Mort Webster, Manager of VA's Southern California Regional Office, said today. This special dividend offer expires September 13, 1963, according to the Veterans Administration's Insurance Service. It applies only to Korea Conflict veterans whose insurance policy number is preceded by the letters "RS". No other government life insurance holders are eligible. To get his dividend, the "RS" policyholder must either: 1. Exchange his "RS" term policy for a "W" term policy at generally, only one-third of the cost he is now paying. Although the term cannot be renewed after age 50, protection can be continued by converting to a low-cost permanent plan insurance policy at any time while the term is in force. 2. Convert his "RS" policy to a low-cost "W" permanent plan insurance policy now. Bennett The stand taken by Commissioner Bennett in the Anaheim Dyke case is expressed in his dissenting opinion which the GZETTE quotes below, in part: I differ with my colleagues as to their decision upon the proposed sale and transfer of the properties of the Dyke Water Company to the City of Anaheim. I am aware of nothing before me which discloses that such a transfer is adverse to the public interest. To the contrary, the City of Anaheim, as a municipality, elected on behalf of its municipal water users to acquire this system. It seems to me that the decision reached by that municipality can hardly be subjected criticism that it was not in the public interest. I would approve the sale and transfer to the City of Anaheim without the delay or a restraining order. Apparently, the crux of the majority decision concerns itself with conditions sought to be imposed upon the Dyke Water Company's disposition of the funds derived from the sale. I, too, am concerned in the disposition these funds to the extent of disiring immediate satisfaction all refunds due to ratepayer However, I do not think that it is the function of this Commission set itself up as some type of banal to establish the validity and priority of claims against the Dyke Water Company. The county in this state have been empowered and are competent to perform only this function, but, if necessary, to set aside any unlawful preferences to creditors made by L. Mead, to the newly established position of Vice President Industrial Relations for the company. The appointment is effective immediately. CARER — Richard W. Gay, Mrs. Robert Borden, Board CA development committee chairman, scan the progress made toward full realization of their drive to secure sufficient pledges to liquidate all obligations on the new YMCA site at Loara and West Broadway. Fund Over $20,000 The goal of $30,000 which they wish to secure which will entitle Y to tap Howard Bryan, Ana- industrial builder, for his 100 pledge. Bryan had agreed to the sum if the Y commit- would raise the $30,000 once. The fund is sought to pay all obliqiations on the new five-acre YMCA site at Lorara and West Broadway. The committee responsible for the drive is headed by O. G. Thomas as chairman. Progress since January when the drive was initiated has been so satisfactory, Richard W. Gay, YMCA president declared, that all are confident the goals will be realized. The campaign for pledges will continue until mid-July, Gay declared. Two Million Forecast as 1980 County Census California is growing at a rate double that of the rest of the state according to the state of Commerce, and OrCounty, by their figures, is distancing the state popugrowth figures.

Ventura County is expected to show one of the large increases in the ten year period ending July 1970, likely to more than double its 1960 population, according to the Chamber. Los Angeles County is expected is rise 26 per cent to 7,630,800; Contra Costa to gain 51 per cent with 617,700; and Sacramento to rise 53 per cent to 773,200. Other high-rise counties during this decade will probably include GOP Group Backs Utt Bill "The United States plan to disarm and make the United Nations the world's supreme military force will turn control over to Communists, because control of U.N. military forces has always been given to a Communist," Orange County Republican Central Committee Chairman Dennis Carpenter said today in announcing that the Central Committee has called on Congress to abolish the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency and to repeal the Arms Control and Disarmament Act. A bill has been introduced by Congressman James B. Utt to abolish the agency and repeal the Act. At its April meeting, the Central Committee passed a resolu- Chamber Hits Police Review Board Scheme The California State Chamber of Commerce is strongly opposed to creation of civilian "police review boards", General Manager Clark Galloway has reported. He said the organization's position is based on studies of the subject by its Committee on Respect for Law and Its Enforcement, and several of its regional executive committees. "Proponents of police review boards," said Galloway, "apparently feel that they are needed to protect civilians from misconduct of negligence of police. They overlook the fact that ample recourse now exists through police commissions, city attorneys, district attorneys and even the F.B.I., for anyone who feels he has been unjustly treated." The totally impractical side of review boards is that they would undermine police morale and hamper effective police work by Bennett Dissents stand taken by CommisBennett in the Anaheim case is expressed in his disopinion which the GAquotes below, in part: fier with my colleagues as our decision upon the prosale and transfer of the ties of the Dyke Water to the City of Anaheim. ware of nothing before me discloses that such a transadverse to the public interto the contrary, the City of him, as a municipality, has on behalf of its municipal users to acquire this systems to me that the dereached by that municipalhardly be subjected to that it was not in the interest.

Credit Firm Reorganizes Six local business people have agreed to serve as Directors of Northern Orange County Credit Bureau, Ltd., and were appointed pursuant to the By-Laws of the corporation by the only remaining director of the corporation, Eugene S. Mikkelson. The six newly appointed directors are: E. L. Baker of Anaheim; Finance Company, Clyde W. Cromer of Anaheim Truck and Transfer Company, Richard W. Gay of Bank of America, Kenneth B. Rigby of Northern Orange County Credit Bureau, Richard Nelson of Buena Park Lumber Company and Martha K. Schumacker of SQR Department Store. These business people agreed to serve as directors on the condition that the credit bureau would remain a merchant-owned corporation operated by its members through a board elected by the membership. Mikkelson dis- PUC (Continued from Page 1) so proceed. City officials are somewhat non-committal on the question of just why they have not proceeded, but City Manager Keith Murdock cites these circumstances as being all of concern: 1. The PUC action has placed Dyke in the position of being guilty of contempt regardless of what Dyke might do or not do if the city should proceed; 2. The PUC could, at any moment, remove the restriction on Dyke and the sale could then be consummated; 3. The alternative of the city going to the Supreme Court for a ruling could mean a much longer delay; 4. Anaheim has traditionally sought to meet all interested parties to any action with agreeableness and reasonableness to the end that satisfactory arrangements might be made without resort to sovereign strength. Costing Taxpayers In the meantime the action taken by the PUC has resulted in a direct cost to the taxpayers of Anaheim and serves to continue the threat to the conservation of the underground water supplies. These are the two surprising aspects of the arbitrary PUC action disclosed by city officials. Within the total of $1.89 million which the city pledged to meet by its check drawing act in the first week of April, there were some $000,000 which the city withdrew from a healthy interest-bearing status so that it would be available to meet the amount of the check. These funds are usually pledged for a period of 180 days on time deposit and draw interest at the rate of 3.5 per cent per year. If immediate satisfaction of funds due to ratepayers, ever, I do not think that it is function of this Commission to self up as some type of tributy to establish the validity and way of claims against the Water Company. The courts state have been empowered the competent to perform not this function, but, if necestory to set aside any unlawful enquiries to creditors made by habit of "riding the 31-day period" has caused the of GI insurance policies for hundreds of veterans in reears, Mort Webster, manof VA's Southern California al office, said today. many veterans on "grace" time forget their final nines, and eventually allow policies to lapse, often at a when their dependents need action the most.
