EDITORIAL Be ‘Incredible,’ Mr. Downtown The downtown merchants of Anaheim are again on the march in what could well be “Custer’s Last Stand” against the encroachments of time, neighborhood shopping centers and the reasonable accessibility of most anywhere through modern transportation. We have been quite arbitrary in identifying only three of the warring “tribes,” that could “take the scalp” of the central area of our city. This is for two reasons. One, we shall admit, is that we could not possibly isolate all of the reasons of danger and discuss them in this editorial, and the second is that we honestly believe these three must be at least matched if the historic core area of the city is to progress and be worthy of its heart role. In a previous editoiral we discussed the problems of downtown merchants to some degree and offered some thoughts on improvements. We would like to again. One of the reasons we are more than just “interested” in the central area of our city is that we just as the association of businessmen also declare, believe a central core is vital to a city. The basic design of the enemies of the United States and our way of life is to proceed on a basis of dividing and further dividing our society. They seek to establish us as belonging to small groups which are antagonistic to other small groups. If we belong to several citizens of all of Anaheim and be able to look inward from our peripheral positions toward the place where the “flag flies.” But, if the flag is to be flown from the core of the city as representing the whole city it must, to maintain this position of representation, be competent to meet the challenge from new frontiers; worthy of the allegiance requested from its constituency and emblematic of the best within its borders or that attracts from nearby areas. If the downtown area could accomplish these hallmarks of representation, we believe it would justify its declaration of vitality to the city. How to do it? On this subject we offer a challenge to the merchants. We have noted contributions so far made and, so far, we have been disappointed. One idea is to change the name of a principal thoroughfare; another is to have signs pointing to downtown Anaheim; another is to improve parking facilities; another to improve alleys. These items are certainly desirable parts of an overall plan, but, in our opinion they are small, and in themselves, inconsequential parts. What downtown Anaheim needs is the feeling for a grand design, A Miracle Mile of its own. We therefore offer what we consider to be a bold approach to the rehabilitation of the central curve north and gradually ward to East Street. The northern boundary of crescent could follow a line erally marked by the interactions of Citron - Santa Ana coln-Harbor; Los Angeles-Anaheim-East. The southern boundary of crescent could generally follow along a line through Los Angeles; Claudina - Santa Ana Broadway-East. Revamp the entire area as incredible as Disneyland. Develop the Disneyland rail to run through the entire with special “shopper” car trains that will deposit the per with an accumulation of chases at a parking area permitted one stop with the mobile. Divorce our thinking from rigidity of criss-crossing struts. Develop a part of the area a cultural center for the co. Further develop the alley begun political center of the which lies within this crest strip described. Re-orient business house provide center-of-the-blocking for the shopping motorist may then walk in radial paths within the block rather than long, tiring perimeter marathons. These are some of the main points we feel could be developed to the great advantage of One of the reasons we are more than just "interested" in the central area of our city is that we just as the association of businessmen also declare, believe a central core is vital to a city. The basic design of the enemies of the United States and our way of life is to proceed on a basis of dividing and further dividing our society. They seek to establish us as belonging to small groups which are antagonistic to other small groups. If we belong to several small groups, we must be taught, in their books, to be so torn by these minor loyalties that we will do nothing about any controversial decisions but leave it up to "leaders" in some obscure realm above us. This tendency to effect division amongst us must be resisted by everyone at every opportunity. Hence our loyalty to the idea of a "center of town." All of us should have a distinct feeling of WHAT'S DOING Dorothy Kral, Manager The telephone technician at the right is testing a tiny part of a newly developed undersea phone cable. These cables are designed to function perfectly at the bottom of the sea for twenty years or more so the tests must be rigorous. One such test determines if the cable can withstand the tremendous pressures found on the ocean floor. It uses helium and is so exacting that it's capable of detecting a leak so tiny that the escaping gas would take 26 years to fill a thimble. It's care like this that helps us to bring you the best possible telephone service. JOBS FOR TELEPHONE OPERATORS We need 6 new operators per week for the next two months in Anaheim alone.

While you're there, you can also take a fascinating trip across the United States. How? Just drop by the Bell System's popular exhibit and see the Circarama film, "America the Beautiful." Filmed by the Walt Disney Studios, Circarama surrounds you on a giant 360-degree screen and takes you from "sea to shining sea." You'll also see interesting demonstrations from the exciting world of communications. Admission is free and I'm sure you'll enjoy it. You may have heard the old story about one of our information operators who answered a call and heard a woman ask, "Say, I wonder if you'd mind pulling the cord on your end of the line—mine is too long!" This may be stretching the truth a bit, but it's true we go to great lengths to give good service. If you're planning on traveling this summer why not take a few moments to phone ahead to make sure you have reservations at your destination? Most people find it often troublesome and disappointment.

Badham Badham Bill Will Protect Christians Assemblyman Robert E. Badham (R-Costa Mesa) had introduced state legislation which would prohibit teaching in the public schools of any theory opposed to recognized sectarian doctrine as factual academic subject matter. The bill's provisions would include but are not limited to the Darwinian theory of evolution, or the nonexistence of a deity. The bill is co-sponsored by Assemblyman E. Richard Barnes (R-San Diego). Badham, in describing the bill, said that it is merely fair play legislation to protect the rights of those who believe in God. "I have been shocked to learn," he said, "of the incessant pressure by atheistic and agnostic groups, including the Communist Party, to drive from the public schools all reference to God and respect for religious principles." "Under the Supreme Court ruling, it is now impossible to offer non-denominational prayer in the public schools. My bill simply provides that if it is illegal to present religion in the schools, it must be equally illegal to present anti-religious doctrines." "Our Society has moved far in the direction of protecting the rights of irreligious minorities," Badham said. "I believe it is time that we took equal precautions to protect the rights of religious minorities and majorities. There is no good reason why at a time when we are protecting atheists and agnostics from prayers which may be offensive to them that we cannot also protect those with religious faith from irreligious teachings which are equally offensive." Northrop Nortronics of Anaheim has been awarded a contract by the Air Force for a study of non-nuclear warheads for air-to-air encounter. The one-year program will be conducted by Nortronics' Systems Support Department for the Air Proving Ground Center, Eglin AFB, Fla. The new project is similar in concept to another Air Force contract currently held by the department dealing with the effectiveness of air-delivered munitions for ground targets. According to Frank W. Lynch, Nortronics vice president and manager of Systems Support, Nortronics has been engaged in ordnance and countermeasures work for more than 10 years. "Here at Anaheim," Lynch said, "we have been involved in the design and development of warheads, rockets, fuzing devices, and penetration aids for ground, airborne, and space systems. We have also carried out studies in the areas of warhead effectiveness, small propellant devices, ballistics, and aerodynamics. Because of this kind of work and our specialized facilities, we have attracted some extremely high-caliber ordnance personnel," Lynch said. Systems Support ordnance-countermeasures facilities consist of a research and development laboratory, a test bay with fire control center, and a storage magazine.

Group MEMBER OF THE SPONSOR OF T The Anaheim Gazette—3 Wednesday, May 15, 1968 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA All Electric Apartments in West Anaheim Fast-growing Orange County now has a $1-million total electric residential development combining economy and luxury in a novel way. "The Belmont," 134 S. Magnolia, West Anaheim, is a Gold Medallion apartment-home project which gives residents the privacy and convenience of a private home. Renting from $150 to $180 a month, dwellings emphasize quality at minimum cost with many advantages found only in custom homes. The idea is catching on since 50 per cent of the sixty-four units were rented before completion. The Draman Company, originators of the project, is a team of construction-financing men with a new approach to residential building composed of Principals H. R. Brookman, Jr., John M. Driggers, and W. E. Flaharty. The apartment-home concept was tried first with "Dale Village," a 46-unit Gold Medallion project in Anaheim. "We knew we had the answer," Driggers says, "when 95 per cent of the units were occupied only six weeks after completion." "The Belmont" returns to traditional styling with heavy shake Sunday at the Anaheim High School auditorium when the local Junior Ebell Club sponsors the Santa Monica Civic Ballet troupe. Security Dividend Security First National Banks board of directors have declared the usual quarterly dividend of 40 cents per share on the common stock, payable May 4 to shareholders of record April 16. The apartment-home concept was tried first with "Dalé Village," a 46-unit Gold Medallion project in Anaheim. "We knew we had the answer," Driggers says, "when 95 per cent of the units were occupied only six weeks after completion."
