EDITORIAL Grand Central Or Bus Stop? People are wont, as they grow older, to assert they do not see as well as they once did. This observation does them no justice; they are only displaying sufficient wit to enunciate something that is perfectly obvious. Perhaps this is the best explanation for the present Downtown Anaheim situation. The Gazette has taken a particular interest in Downtown Anaheim for a variety of reasons. We have spoken of these in editorials before. A vital reason for our interest has been the professed aims of business and political leaders to accomplish the rebuilding of the central area by our own efforts instead of appealing to some outside authority. Such strength of character always awakens our interest and elicits our support. But the boldness and determination of such protestations would appear to have been misunderstood or at least, miscalculated in their vigor as we study the results of the ERA report and subsequent discussions we have heard on some of the facets of the problem. Downtown Anaheim would appear to have no future as a substantial core area for the largest city in Orange County; it is not to be the central hub around which the constantly growing center; subsisting largely upon its own flesh which even this it must first create and then maintain. It is not to be the Grand Central Station of the county, it is to be a bus stop. This, in effect, is the ERA report for which the city of Anaheim taxpayers paid some $25,000. It seems to us that if the downtown property owners, business leaders and city administrators were contemplating contentment with a "shopping - center" concept it could have been easily accomplished by the mere taking of a breakfast survey. Perhaps the original concept was not for this poor substitute for a real heart of a city. Perhaps there was, originally, hope for the best, a vision of something substantial and grand re- FIRST IMPRESSIONS AND LAST By Carol Baker Too much can't be said for the importance of making a good first impression on people you meet. Of course so much has been said about it already that most of us take it for granted. True you may not always be "putting your best foot forward." You may not be dressed in your best clothes — maybe not every hair is right in place. But stop to think of it, haven't you met some pretty nice people on the golf course, or at the swimming pool? FIRST IMPRESSIONS AND LAST By Carol Baker Too much can't be said for the importance of making a good first impression on people you meet. Of course so much has been said about it already that most of us take it for granted. True you may not always be "putting your best foot forward." You may not be dressed in your best clothes — maybe not every hair is right in place. But stop to think of it, haven't you met some pretty nice people on the golf course, or at the swimming pool? And what about last impressions? When some close friend, or loved one, passes on, we just naturally take it for granted that when we pay our last respects, we'll get a final impression of dignity and peace. In such times it is wise to consider a name highly regarded for many years of faithful, dignified community service, such as the Hilgenfeld Mortuary, serving Anaheim since 1827, located at 120 E. Broadway, in Anaheim, and serving all faiths and all cemeteries. The Hilgenfeld Mortuary, locally owned and operated, air conditioned and with spacious parking facilities, is a name long remembered by those who have been sustained by their loving care.

Rosecrans Ave., East of Luitwieler LA 1-1310 Main Office: 761 South Broadway, Los Angeles, California the whimsy that marks the distribution of federal funds is not less capricious than a city council's opinion through the years as to what constitutes "public good." Why the readiness, then, to discuss the drastic measures to create a shopping center? There is considerable "breast-beating" about Orange County entitlement to metropolitan status. Anaheim, as the largest of the cities, has been in the fore of the battle. But, where in Anaheim is there the spire of the city square to ward which the eyes of the surrounding city may turn for inspiration and assurance? Those most interested in the fight to rehabilitate the central portion who in the past have spoken most vividly of the future of the core area, now seem to be content with the pap of existence. These views are anti-theoretical, and should leave us with little doubt but that in the confusion of trying to reconcile the contrasts little of major consequence will be accomplished. The only reason we still entertain hope for Downtown Anaheim to shake off the shackles of dimming sight and to awaken to the glorious vision of what it could become is because the area is not yet committed to the ERA whistle-stop program and because there is a vast reservoir of young men within the battle area. The bumbling behemoth of Downtown Anaheim could yet become the irresistible Paul Bunyan of Orange County. Vets Advised Check Policy In the event of the death of an older war veteran, will his GI insurance funds be distributed in accordance with his current wishes? Not in more than 50 percent of the cases, said VA's Southern California Regional Office Manager, Mort Webster, as the result of a recent survey. The VA had directed a reminder letter to GI policyholders 60 years of age and older to check on the beneficiary choices the veteran has originally made as well as his selection of a lump settlement or payments over a period of time. In 55 percent of the veterans' replies, changes were requested to brin ghe insurance settlement in line with the veteran's current wishes. Most common cases were those in which marriage had subsequently taken place but the mother of the veteran was still listed as a chief beneficiary. In numerous other cases, the veteran had re-married but his former wife was still listed as the beneficiary.
