They recently made a simulated trip to Hawaii and back and had 700 miles to spare. Student lifeguards stared on their "journey" a year ago and added up their miles swam either as a member of a swimming team in college, and with hours spent as an instructor, it totaled 5,332 miles. This mileage may not seem pertinent to most observers, but the recorded 5,332 miles is equivalent to swimming around one-fifth of the globe. And, if it were possible to measure their accomplishment in a straight distance, they would have made it almost to London or Tokyo. In a breakdown of total mileage from Anaheim's three pools, Western did 2,270 miles, Pearson swam 1,920 and Anaheim accomplished 1,142 miles. Instructors' Role A few of the instructors whoided in the record-breaking crew for Western Pool were Bob Perez, Ron Mills, Dave Colmar, Gil Crane and Chuck Janzoq. Each one recorded 350 miles in the water the past year. Perez, who was a member of the record-breaking free-style relay team also was named to the second team of the Sunset League Water Polo Squad. Mills, meanwhile, placed third in the CCAA in the one and three meter diving event. Colmar received recognition at Western High as being a member of their 200 medley relay team while Gil Crane of Magnolia High School not only was instrumental in helping set a Sentinel school mark, but scored the most goals in one game in water polo. His mark of 25 still stands. Janzow, of Anaheim High School was a member of the Colonists 200 yard sedley relay record team. Meanwhile, over at Pearson, Ralph Cooper and Bob Smith gained fame as swimmers. 888 Miles in Year Cooper, who recorded 888 miles the first year, was named to the Junior College All-American in the 100 and 200 yard backstroke event and the 200 yard medley relay team, three times.

Griffith, City Library Director. The building is located at Broadway and Harbor. "The opening will be the greatest event since 1907 for Anaheim library patrons and staff alike," says Griffith, referring to the time when Central Library opened its doors to Anaheim residents 56 years ago. The new building, costing approximately $840,000 was approved by a bond issue in April 1960 but total cost of everything connected with this new facility will be $1,890,253.92, including furniture and book shelves. Glenn G. Fry, Library Board of Trustees Chairman, says that in seeking to meet Anaheim's needs for library service, now that shelf space is available, the proposed budget of $150,000 for book acquisition will greatly improve the situation. He terms the present book collection inadequate for a city even half as large as Anaheim. Other Board members serving are Mrs. Martha G. Raymond, secretary; Arthur W. Gray, Jr., C.B. Miller and Mrs. Elizabeth J. Schultz. Economy in maintaining a public building of this type was considered both in design and in furnishings. Windows have been placed so that draperies and sunproofing are unnecessary. Tile flooring is used rather than stone reading rooms, book shelves, reference department, circulation desk and other departments. Offices and closed stacks will be located on the third floor. "We hope to be able to add additional features which will serve the community. A movie film documentary and educational short subjects collection is one of them. We are in the process of building a microfilm collection of local newspapers as a readers' reference service. Parking A number of library patrons agree with Griffith that the parking spaces behind the new building will be an added inducement for greater use of the new building. "They tell me that they get so absorbed in browsing in the old Central building they forget to run out to feed the parking meters," he smiled. "Just last month th library issued 1,934 borrowers cards. W circulated 56,589 books during the month as compared with 45,478 for the same month in 1962," he added. "And answered 2,562 reference questions." As the reference department expands, Griffith plans to build a scientific and technical reference collection to meet the increasing demand of students, scientists and industry as well. Griffith explains that while most companies have libraries to serve their particular needs, when em- For Pre-Schoolers "Our story telling program can be expanded in the new building." she says. "There will be sessions for the pre-schoolers and for the older children, too. Groups are limited to 50 children. If there is sufficient demand we will be able to provide more sessions." "We encourage groups to visit the library. School classes, brownie and cub groups and other children's organizations can schedule a tour which can include instructions in use of the library facilities or a special story hour or book review geared to a certain age level." Miss Allmand states. The Junior Assistance League of Anaheim will give us a globe for the new library, adds Miss Allmand. They have voted to begin a fine edition collection consisting of classics, modern classics, historical writings, and out of print material. Several clubs are in: the process of offering assistance to Children's Service department and to other library departments. A gift suggestion list has been made answering the inquiries made by interested Anaheim organizations and individuals. Miss Phyllis Urshay, Assistant Library Director, says, "Setting up the historical exhibits, unpacking and getting books ready to go on this wonderful shelf space we have and all of the other new activities going on in the new building will certainly keep us hurrying to catch up." Other Board members serving are Mrs. Martha G. Raymond, secretary; Arthur W. Gray, Jr., C.B. Miller and Mrs. Elizabeth J. Schultz. Economy in maintaining a public building of this type was considered both in design and 'n furnishings. Windows have been placed so that draperies and sunproofing are unnecessary. Tile flooring is used rather than carpeting. Also, the furniture will be new and functional, but not elaborate. Walnut finish of the tables and chairs will match shelving. Plastic covered tables will require less time in cleaning and are much more durable. Griffith adds. "Spending our budget for books rather than for 'frills' is the best use of funds. Griffith declares: 'Our present 100,000 volume collection falls short of serving the increasing number of readers. We will be adding books at the rate of 2,000 a month after we move.'" A new community service feature will be the multipurpose room on the first level. Civic groups may use the room for meetings. Exhibits and lectures will also be given there, Griffith says. On the second level will be the Food Firm Promotes Anaheim Man B. G. Watson, 1202 E. Adele St., Anaheim, a salesman for The R.T. French Co. of Rochester, N.Y., has been promoted to area sales supervisor, according to an announcement made today (Wednesday, July 31) by Los Angeles divisional manager, James B. Lowe. A graduate of Hobart College, Geneva, N.Y., Watson joined French's as a salesman in 1958 at Miami, Fla. As area sales supervisor, he will help to administer the Los Angeles District. Before coming to Los Angeles, he had also served in the Phoenix, Ariz., territory. He and his wife have one child. The R.T. French Co. is a leading producer of spices, seasonings, mustard, instant potatoes, dry sauce mixes, and other food items. Music To Be Increased As funds become available, Griffith hopes to increase the record collection which consists of classical music, poetry, dramatic readings, foreign language study records and shorthand teaching records. These records may be charged out to library patrons just as easily as books. "Speaking of charging out books," Griffith says, "I believe that with our automatic checkout system, we can claim first place as our machine can process 3,000 an hour." Miss Linda Allmand, principal librarian of children's services, says that an extensive expansion of programs for children is planned. There are approximately 22,000 volumes now and more waiting to be unpacked. With the space in the new building, Miss Allmand says that it would be possible to enroll every elementary school child in the Anaheim school district. "Although we have printed book reading score tallies for 3,000 children, it is entirely possible to take care of the 25,000 to 30,000 children in the area," Miss Allmand declares. The summer reading program will be from June 15 to Sept. 15. Children participating read ten books for one safari and will have their tallies with their names placed on the bulletin board. More avid readers can go on two other safari's by reading 30 books over the summer vacation. Next fall, classroom or auditorium presentations will be made of the awards to the children who make the summer safari, Miss Allmand says. Swering the inquiries made by interested Anaheim organizations and individuals. Miss Phyllis Urshay, Assistant Library Director, says, "Setting up the historical exhibits, unpacking and getting books ready to go on this wonderful shelf space we have and all of the other new activities going on in the new building will certainly keep us hurrying to catch up." Letters to The Editor Editor, Anaheim Gazette: Your recent editorial concerning the "Certificate of Congratulations" I sent to high school seniors graduating this year has come to my attention. You will recall that you stated that these were printed at government expense, and I underlook this project "to push the New Frontier." Nothing could be further from the truth. The facts are that the Certificates were printed at my personal expense, and were sent to congratulate our graduating seniors and encourage them to greater scholastic attainments. The Certificates in question were completely non-political. No mention was made of any political party or issue. I'm certainly sorry my modest attempt to encourag and congratulate educational achievements was misinterpreted by some, and hope this will clear the matter up. Sincerely Yours, Richard T. Hanna United States Congressman Editor's Note: Thanks for the correction. One of those submitting his certificate noted that the franking privilege was taken in mailing them to students.
