The oldest Episcopal Church building in southern California will have its 90th birthday on Friday, May 17, and will hardly have time to swallow a nostalgic lump before watching the ground breaking for its eventual full-time successor. Anaheim’s St. Michael’s holds the distinction of not only being the oldest church building in Anaheim but also the oldest in the entire diocese. Now located at 311 W. South St., the church was built in 1876 and moved to its present site in 1955 as part of the program of church members to preserve the historic structure. A new church building for the expanding congregation is to be erected on the church properties this year. The new building, expected to cost in the neighborhood of $160,000, is to be officially begun on May 26 with the traditional ground-breaking ceremony. Continue as Chapel The historic building will continue to be used as a chapel by the Anaheim members after the new building is occupied, Rev. John K. Saville, pastor, declared. The structure was first known as St. Michael’s Mission after its founding by Susan and Elizabeth Lafaucherie who came to California from Trenton, N. J. The Rev. Charles Loop of San Gabriel was the first minister and held the initial service in August, 1873. The birthday of St. Michael’s will be marked by a special party at the church and featured by a boy staged by youth groups of the congregation entitled “People We Have Made St. Michael’s.” After the direction of Gerald Baird the Senior High Young People will present the first half of the day. The cast will include Don Nobel, Senior High president; Gerald Bird, Tom Brown, Claire Sher, Alex Gillon, Bob Gillon;arry Larson, Carolyn Miles, Jon Nelson; Dona Peterson, Jotoneh, Debby Saville.

The new church was designed by award-winning architect Culver Heaton of Pasadena. It will have a seating capacity of 350 in the sanctuary and choir loft for 50. Contemporary in style, but still retaining traditional lines, the new church will be made of slump-stone in keeping with the recently erected cloister and parish hall.

Headed by Stan Pawlowski as Dyke Papers Nearly Ready The Greater Anaheim Downtown Business District, represented by the Downtown Businessmen's Association, moved into high gear this week with the appointment of committee heads and the rough outline of a year's agenda of activities. Headed by Stan Pawlowski as general chairman, the business organizations are striving for complete unity in the area bounded by North, South, East and West streets. Representation is being sought on "a grand scale," according to Pawlowski, as the only certain way to guarantee a sufficiency of effort and abiding interest in the resurgence project. The Anaheim center, long the business heart of the oldest colony in the county, has felt the pangs of aging as well as the lure of periphery shopping centers. To reestablish the traditional prestige of the downtown area and justify the level of trade sought, the merchants, as well as the city government, has been moving toward some type of rehabilitation. The Downtown Association has evolved from the need for leadership and direction to the effort, business heads declare. Need Core Area The business firms assert a "strong central core area is of vital importance to an economically well balanced city." This is the premise on which the organization found unity and led to the adoption by the group of a twofold purpose for the group: (1) to unify the downtown retailers, professionals, property owners, financial institutions and other interested parties; (2) to develop a better business climate by recognizing and implementing action in areas to include: An orderly physical redevelopment of the central area through the remodeling and refurbishing of the buildings: The expansion and improvement of off-street parking; The modernization and im- (Continued on Page 2) County Seeks Branch Here Dyke Papers Nearly Ready A rough draft of Anaheim's probable appeal to the State Supreme Court for a ruling in the Dyke water case is now being polished by City Attorney Joe Geisler for submission within the week. The city contends that the state Public Utilities Commission has exceeded its authority in directing the Dyke Water Co. not to dispose of its property in the face of a Superior Court judgment giving Anaheim the authority to purchase certain properties covered in condemnation proceedings. The PUC action could have placed the Dyke company in the impossible situation of being in contempt of the Superior Court if it complied with the PUC directive or in contempt of the PUC if proceed on its court-granted authority. Dyke would have faced one or the other contempt alternative. 'Decisions' On Charter 'More Firm' Past decisions of the Anaheim Citizens Charter Study Committee are now be to be regarded as "not as tentative" as they were before the last meeting. But they may still be changed by an eight-vote decision. This was one of the important procedural matters taken up by the committee as it debated the basic form of the city government in the preparation of a charter. Previously the committee had gone through the throes of apparently "deciding" certain is- Boy Scout Adult Leaders Training Special Training Notter understand the Boy program, a new idea, training will be conducted at Ahwahnee located in the Bernardino mountains be May 17 for two overnight sessions.

As a step toward such realization, board members have selected the Porter-O'Brien firm to make a complete plan study of the acreage which is now the site of the county agricultural department headquarters. County supervisors have recently approved final plans for a new headquarters building for the County Agricultural Extension Service which will move to Anaheim from Santa Ana when it is completed. Estimated cost of this project is placed at $159,050. Occupancy of the building is expected late this fall. When completed all county agricultural services will be consolidated in the one area.

North St., are the king and queen of Neighbors in Anaheim following their selection from a mass of recommendations to the sponsoring Lions Club. The announcement of the selection of the Waldos was made at the Hi-Neighbor festivities Saturday. Mrs. Waldo is one of those rare individuals, the native Californian. She has lived in Anaheim nearly all of her life. She and Waldo were married in 1932.

The decision followed protests generated on the grounds the on-site license was a location adjacent to a teenage burger bar and would create a detrimental situation for the teenagers. Dr. Howard D. Garber, optometrist located on the opposite side of the proposed bar, led the fight in opposition to it and it was through his direct appeal to Gov. Edmund Brown that the eventual reversal of action was accomplished. Brown Infervened The initial decision of the ABC was to grant the license.

Crash Studies In Languages A crash program in three highly critical languages will be inaugurated this summer by the Soviet-Asian Studies Center at the University of Southern California. Elementary Chinese, intermediate Japanese and advanced Russian will be offered in three intensive 10-week courses which will encompass one full year's work each and give six units of language credit. In addition to daily classroom instruction, students will have hour-long tutoring sessions with native speakers and additional work in USC's modern language laboratory. These intensive courses also will feature language luncheons where only the language being studied will be spoken. The intensive language courses will be supported by classes in Modern Japan, Government of Russia, and Family and Social morals. In the restudy of the question the ABC declared "because of the heavy concentration of teenagers in the nearby burger bar and the heavy family patronage of the shopping center as a whole, issuance of the license would be contrary to public welfare and morals." County Fair Seeks Queen The first seven of an expected 20 candidates to represent various Orange county communities in the annual County Fair Aloha beauty contest have already met with the queen supervisor. A queen and two princesses will be chosen to reign over the July 9-14 fair in Costa Mesa's ground site. Prizes to be awarded the queen include a round trip vacation for two in Hawaii, clothing and accessories. So far no Anaheim entry has been reported. Wetzler Named To Fair Board Robert L. Wetzler, business and civic figure of Anaheim, has been appointed to the board of directors of the 32nd District Agricultural Association by Gov. Edmund G. Brown. The Association has responsibility for the Orange County Fair. The announcement was made through the office of William Danemeyer, Democratic Assemblyman of Fullerton.
