Rafferty Favors Depth, Variation The vital necessity for "education in depth" was the keynote of the message given Orange County Press Club members by Dr. Max Rafferty, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, at a special meeting of the group. Rafferty scored the so-called progressive system of teaching which he said would not have made inroads into California if the public had been lending as much attention to school affairs during the past 30 years as now. Despite several generations of these teachings, the school system will not only survive, he declared, but ascend to greater heights through the saving grace of "John Q. Public's immense good judgment and sense of humor." Basics Needed As the main job of education, Rafferty underscored the teaching of the fundamentals, such as Truth and Honor, as worthy in themselves; that all is not in a state of flux with no certainty to be had anywhere and that the ingredients of the American heritage, system of government, economics and social life are to be passed on from generation to generation. One point Rafferty emphasized as basic to his own views on education in depth was the necessity for examination of all points of view. "I would like to see all shades of instruction," he declared. The out-spoken state superintendent clarified his position on a number of questions which have drawn public attention in the past few months. Among them were "left wing professors," the slang dictionary, and the use of convicted persons as teachers. He was questioned by newsmen as to his reported statement that he had demanded an investigation into the presence of "left wing professors on state college campuses." “This translation of my remarks gives the wrong impression,” he asserted. "I was asked if the office of the superintendent had received any complaints about left wing professors in our state colleges. My reply was, 'yes, we had,' and that we were looking into the allegations. "I do not know if the charges are true or false, but they certainly deserve to be examined. But these remarks as reported would have indicated I sought to investigate something I knew to be true." On the subject of the Dictionary of American Slang, Rafferty left no doubt he thought the book should not be available to the impressionable youth. "It made my hair stand on end," he reported. "This book may have a place in some libraries for the use of adults making habilitation center. The room is a place for the training of learning. Teachers in the room to teach, not habilitation." Hanna Names Three Films As Available Congressman Richard T. announced today he had co-arranged arrangements to make able to service clubs, veterans organizations, schools, PTA's other interested Orange C groups three outstanding films for use during the last of August as well as during tember and October. The films, which will be able on a loan basis, are: "The Pershing Story," minute picture about General Sheridan and is very well done considered excellent for show to senior citizens, veteran organizations and especially War I barracks. "Pentagon Review for 1962-26-minute color film describing the activities of all of the mid-branches of the United States armenment." state of flux with no certainty to be had anywhere and that the ingredients of the American heritage, system of government, economics and social life are to be passed on from generation to generation. One point Rafferty emphasized as basic to his own views on education in depth was the necessity for examination of all points of view. "I would like to see all shades of instruction, he declared, "from flaming radicals to rock - bound conservatives. There is a place for extreme radicals on our college campus," just as there is an honored place in our history for famous radicals such as Tom Paine and Thomas Jefferson." He clarified his definition of extreme radical as being exclusive of the Communist. "Communism," he said, "is an international conspiracy aimed at the overthrow of our government and way of life, and is not radicalism. I would no more think of inviting a Communist to a campus than I would ask a member of Murder, Inc." Clarifies Views But these remarks as reported would have indicated I sought to investigate something I knew to be true." On the subject of the Dictionary of American Slang, Rafferty left no doubt he thought the book should not be available to the impressionable youth. "It made my hair stand on end," he reported. "This book may have a place in some libraries for the use of adults making technical studies of subjects such as sex or semantics, but not for children." School For Teaching The use of teachers who have been convicted of offenses of one nature or another, was raped by Rafferty. He has been critical of the rehiring of teachers who have been convicted of moral infractions or felonies, such as theft, but who have served whatever judgment may have been meted out by a court. "I am certainly in favor of permitting every man the opportunity for rehabilitation," he declared, "but I am not in favor of the schoolroom and impressionable children being used as a re- The Pershing Story, minute picture about General Sherman and is very well done considered excellent for show to senior citizens, veteran organizations and especially War I barracks.

Harbor & Chapman Scout Show 'Dividends Declared' Official report on ticket turn-ins from the recent La Palma Stadium showing of "The Winning of the West" held in June by the Northern Orange County Council, Boy Scouts of America was termed "a highly smashing success" by Northern Orange County Council President William F. James. The announcement was made after a meeting held at Knott's Berry Farm, Buena Park attended by 26 members of the pageant committee. Attendance of residents from Orange County and surrounding communities during the two night performances was "overwhelming" according to James. William W. Bent, scout executive with James reported that further expansion and development at Camp Ahwahnee, located in the San Bernardino mountains would get underway immediately. The development of facilities is due to the sale of more than 17 thousand tickets. Cub Packs, Boy Scout units and Explorer Post groups will receive approximately $5 thousand to be used toward the purchase of new equipment (tents, shovels, cooking gear and transportation costs) and replacing worn items. Amount of money received on individual units depends upon number of ticket turn-ins made.

E. Bodine, Chairman of Gray Lady services in hospitals. After working under the direct supervision of experienced hospital personnel for 15 hours, they will have satisfied the Red Cross requirements for member-group, now composed of both men and women. A schedule of assignments have been developed for the summer months that will enable the students to meet the critical need for volunteers services that exists in both Orange County an Fairview Hospitals, without making too heavy inroads on their vacation plans. The Chapter has accepted commitment to furnish service on a regular basis five days a week so that both patients and staff will know what to expect from them in the way of dependable service. Students will work under the direct supervision of Mrs. Lou Harris, volunteer director and Mrs. Alex Bates, Red Cross Co-ordinator of Orange County Hospital and their designate. In Fairview, they report directly to Ward 42 where their activities are planned and supervised by Miss Ethel Pett, Recreational Therapist and Mrs. Gloria Jamieson, Director of Volunteers. In Orange County Hospital, the young volunteers have been given a variety of assignments such as morale visiting, shopping, assisting in the Pediatrics Department, and carrying full responsibility for distribution of books and magazines, including the organization of the material to be carried to the wards by the bookmobile visitors. DOWNTOWN (Continued from Page 1) "industrial, distributive, vacant and miscellaneous." How much is attributed to each is not indicated, but the total is reported as 99 acres at the present and expected to decrease by 52 acres by 1960. The report would indicate by this analysis that, in general, the 617 acres which comprise the "downtown core area" are presently devoted to the proper activities. A shift of less than 5 percent in acreage use is contemplated by the report, exclusive of the items pointed out above on parking, etc. Need Design Plan The report does emphasize the city should develop its own image and profile for the revitalized area before proceeding with any action program. "A physical design plan for the Center City area," ERA says, "and improved access are considered necessary prerequisites to effective revitalization." The report does not spell out the "improved access" which the above portion of the report would indicate was in coincidence, at least, with the design plan. Philip Slukn, project leader for ERA on the report, asserted this was a task for traffic engineers, rather than for inclusion in the economic potential report.

The group has passed a resolution to support the program, not only for this year, but as a perpetual activity. Large red, white and blue display cards urging others to make the observance have been printed and distributed to the group has also written to public officials urging city-wide observances. The Management Club has affiliated chapters, not only in Anaheim, but also in Compton, Downey, La Palma, Los Angeles, Palmdale and in the valley. J. K. Magamatsu, Civic Activities chairman for the group and D. R. Farrell, Board of Control member, are sparking the drive by the club. The report does not spell out the "improved access" which the above portion of the report would indicate was in coincidence, at least, with the design plan. Philip Stukin, project leader for ERA on the report, asserted this was a task for traffic engineers, rather than for inclusion in the economic potential report. The report also held out the vision of "major surgery" to the city by declaring, at least as far as the Retail areas are concerned, there is a choice to be made between "(1) a configuration essentially as it is now xx", or (2) an entirely new configuration incorporating modern design principles." There was no indication in the report as to why "an entirely new configuration" had implied application only to the retail aspects of the core area and would not necessarily embrace the entire image and profile, including a conforming design of access. The council voted, on Mayor Rex Coons motion, to pass the report to the special citizen's committee for study analysis and recommendations for action.

MAYOR COONS ON CITY HALL conditions that now exist in city hall — and Anaheim continues to grow and expand her activities. The present city hall has simply reached the absolute saturation point and can no longer give the service the people are entitled to receive. In 1959 a committee of 100 Anaheim citizens made a study for capital improvements to see the way through the next 20 years. They recognized the need then for new city hall, and recommended its construction on the proposed civic center site at Broadway and Harbor Blvd, where the new library and police headquarters building are now nearing completion. This year the Economic Research Associates was contracted to make a study of the economic potential of downtown Anaheim. Their report was just presented to the city council on Monday, June 1. The ERA study substantiated that the citizens committee recommended four years ago. According to ERA, the Broadway-Harbor site, best suited for a new city hall, has a strong potential for the concentration of new office buildings for lawyers, engineers, architects, builders, artists, and the like, that would sequent city hall. Density High They said: "The area is centrally situated in what is, and will continue to be the most densely populated sector of Orange County. The city of Anaheim itself will maintain its position as the largest city in the county," said the report. Furthermore, the report tells us the area is at the hub of the northern Orange County industrial complex and is surrounded on all sides by prime industrial acreage. "Industrial development," according to the report, "creates a strong demand for business services of the type normally utilizing general office space." The number of employees to occupy office space in a new city hall in 1963 would be 225, according to ERA, and would increase to 340 employees in 1980. The gross building area required for a city hall in 1965 would be 74,828 sq. ft., with 131,950 sq. ft., for parking. By 1980, estimates ERA, the building requirements will increase to 95,000 sq. ft., and 173,000 sq. ft., for parking areas. The present city hall at E. Lincoln and Claudina St., has 16,000 sq. ft. of office space. Acreage Available The report points out that five acres are required for the new city hall, and 7.5 acres are now available for the proposed facility at the Broadway-Harbor site. Said ERA: "In view of the anticipated compacting of retail and commercial office concentration to the area west of Los Angeles St., the present city hall site is in a relatively poor location to serve the needs of the central core." It would cost an additional $750,000 to build a city hall at the present site, including land acquisition and demolition. But even if this cost was ignored, said ERA, the alternative cost of using the Broadway-Harbor site would be less. Property value for this site is estimated at $2 per sq. ft., compared to $4.50 a sq. ft., at the present site. Besides the physical and economic needs for a new city hall as outlined by the citizens committee there is another important factor we can not overlook. Anaheim today is the ninth largest city in California, and the 91st largest city in the nation. The high industrial and entertainment status of this city has drawn the eyes of the world to Anaheim. It's a matter of pride for each individual resident to have a civic center befitting Anaheim's position in universal prominence. The decisions Anaheim makes on this proposed new bond issue, which will not alter the low city tax rate of $1.10, will not only meet our own needs for now and for the generations to come.

It was announced today State Director of Aeronautics De P. Barnett. Two airports in Orange County benefit the Municipal Air-net operated by the county and Fullerton Municipal field. Each will receive $2,698,480 maximum granted any single facility this year. These monies have been made available largely through the efforts of the Senate Aviation Committee under Senator Stephen D. Cole and Assemblyman Gordon Ogne. The committee found approximately $350,000 annuity is collected by the state in on aviation fuels which is refunded to general aviation craft owners. As a result of the committee study, a maximum of 300 per airport is now made available to cities, counties or port districts each year from fund.

Info on Cancer Could Save 'You' Two out of every six cancer patients will be saved this year—but it could be three out of six. About 177,000 persons will be saved, yet with earlier diagnosis and treatment 88,000 more could live. This is the message of two new pamphlets prepared by the American Cancer Society for men and women describing basic precautions against cancer which can help save lives. They are "Cancer Facts for Men" and "Cancer Facts for Women." The pamphlets are available without cost at the Orange County Branch of ACS, 848 North Birch, Santa Ana, in small or large quantities for distribution as well as singly for individuals. While containing information common to both men and women, each pamphlet is directed particularly to problems facing the male or female. Most important, the pamphlets emphasize, is the need for an annual and thorough medical check-up for early detection. Lineberger Named Director in NAA Robert A.
