Family Income Here Anaheim Figure Is $7625 Anaheim families have an annual income substantially higher than that of both state and U. S. families as a whole according to data gathered by the economic and financial research department o: Union Bank. James E. Tweedt, regional vice president, said that figures compiled by the bank show that the median income of Anaheim families is $7,625, compared with $6,726 for California and $5,660 for the entire United States. Median income for Orange County families is $7,319, he added. Fine Homes Tweedt said that according to most recent census data, the Anaheim homeowner lives in a house valued at $14,600. Of the 21,700 owner-occupied dwellings surveyed, 51 per cent were in the $15,600 to $20,000 range, and 31 per cent were under $15,000. Eighteen per cent were in the $20,000 and upwards bracket. As for apartment dwellers, Tweedt reported that the average monthly rent in Anaheim is $87. A total of 8,000 units were covered with 51 per cent renting at $75. ARTIST AT WORK — What's so unusual about this artist at work? Nothing, except when the artist in question is 10-year-old Lori Louise Lee, who would rather draw than play with other little girls. Lori is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Lee. 1445 Dallas Dr. She has been painting and drawing since she was three years old and she had no formal training, although her father, also an artist, has been a guiding hand. Yet she has been named "Artist of the Month" by the Goldenwest Art Guild, has had her works displayed at the Laguna Festival of Arts, Chapman College, Long Beach State College, the Disneyland Hotel and several Santa Ana stores. She has also won various art contests both locally and nationally. Her works are on exhibit at Martin Luther Hospital until the end of the month.

The report also showed that 73 per cent of the city’s apartment buildings are owner-occupied. New Pupils Register in City Schools Pre-school registration for all new and transferred pupils continued this week in each of the school buildings in the Anaheim City School District. Registration of these pupils before school begins on Tuesday, Sept. 10, will make possible proper assignments to classes, provision for instructional supplies and textbooks, and bus transportation for all eligible pupils. Vaccination Record Pupils previously registered in a California school, who on enrollment this fall do not have recorded evidence of being fully immunized against polio, must present such evidence before they can be admitted and their names placed on the school roll. The legal requirement for full immunization is either a total of three Salk injections, or three doses of the new Sabin oral vaccine treatment. Parents whose children have not had the full polio immunization treatment should take action immediately to provide this so that their children will not be forced to miss the beginning of the new school term. Enrollment by Mail Enrollment of all pupils who will be returning to their same elementary schools, plus new kindergarten pupils enrolled last spring is conducted by mail with Louise Lee, who would rather draw than play with other little girls.

Newest in The News Amend Order The state Public Utilities Commission has approved an amended escrow instructions for the partial sale of the Dyke Water Co. to the City of Anaheim. It permits the Farmers and Merchants Bank of Long Beach to disperse certain outstanding obligations of the company totaling $965,055.90 rather than the Title Insurance and Trust Co. The PUC’s restraining order, preventing the dispersement of the proceeds of the sale for $1,891,245 will be lifted at the closing date of the escrow, the commission said. Resume Hearing Hearings on the contempt proceeding of the California Public Utilities Commission against the Dyke Water Company of Garden Grove were resumed Wednesday in Los Angeles. GOP Protest In unanimous action, the Orange County Coordinating Republican Assembly has protested ratification of the test ban treaty by the United States Senate, forwarding a resolution outlining their objections to the two California Senators. 2 Street Jobs R. J. Noble Co. has received contract from the City of Anaheim to improve a section of Winston Rd., extending 1330 feet east of State College Blvd. at a tract cost of $8239.24 and a surface area of $6667.50 contract for improvement of Sunkist St. from 6 feet south of Underhill to 530 feet north of Lincoln Ave. U.S. Contracts Six Orange County firms have awarded contracts totalling $3446 during July under the Sm Business Administration’s cooperative Set-Aside program.

OSC Deadline Graduate students may still apply for admission for the B semester at Orange State College according to Emmett T. Long, sociate Dean of Students, Admissions. Enrollment by Mail Enrollment of all pupils who will be returning to their same elementary schools, plus new kindergarten pupils enrolled last spring, is conducted by mail, with a letter of explanation and a pupil enrollment card to be forwarded, on or about September 4, to the parents of all such pupils. All pupils should bring their enrollment cards with them and give them to their teachers on the first day of school. Pupils in Kindergarten, or in Grades 1, 2, or 3, should wear the enrollment card to school with them on the first day as a means of identification. In order to provide economically for the transportation of all bus pupils, schools will again this year open at staggered hours; classes at Gauer, Loara, Madison, Palm Lane, Sunkist, and Henry Schools beginning at 8:30 a.m., with school beginning at 9 a.m., at all other schools. All children, however, will receive the same amount of classroom instructional time regardless of the school hours assigned. Stagger Hours There will be no double-sessioning in any of the schools unless the number of new pupils who have moved into the District over the summer months is considerably larger than anticipated. Classes will be scheduled to run for a full instructional day on the opening day of school and the cooperation of all parents in properly registering their children during the preschool registration period will do much to assist the District in helping pupils settle down to the serious business of school work immediately. GOP Protest In unanimous action, the Orange County Coordinating Republican Assembly has protested ratification of the test ban treaty by the United States Senate, forwarding a resolution outlining their objections to the two California Senators. Center Stage Readings for the mystery play "Design for Murder," to be presented by Center Stage Anaheim, will be held tonight at 8 p.m., at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sawyer, 1769 Caroleen Lane.

The Gazette is happy to publish this list as a public service. The list appears elsewhere in this week's Gazette. It is recommended that all interested persons clip and retain this list for future reference. Anaheim area industrialists and others in California are warned anew that they should be wary of optimistic forecasts for themselves unless the defense and aerospace contracts they receive are awarded on a quality, cost and performance basis. Charles S. Thomas, president of the Irvine Co., reiterated this warning while praising the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce for its work toward having Edwards Air Force Base designated as the nation's space recovery center. Thomas, a former Secretary of the Navy and former presidee of Trans World Airlines, says strongly suspects that certain fense and space contracts may be awarded firms "for economic, social and other reasons regardless of the criteria of quality, cost performance." Thomas noted that, according to information he received e this year, the National Aeroics and Space Administration planning to spend some $504 Police Force to M Street Jobs Noble Co. has received a contract from the City of Anaheim to improve a section of Winfield extending 1330 feet east of College Blvd. at a cost of $839.34 and a contract for improvement of Sunkist St. from 638 south of Underhill to 530 feet of Lincoln Ave. Contracts Orange County firms were contracted totalling $353, during July under the Small Business Administration's cooperative Set-Aside program.

Long, Asheville Dean of Students, Admis- Editorial Efficient Public Could be Created Southern California is probably the worst served by public transportation of all large communities in the nation, while it has more automobiles per capita than any other metropolitan area in the country. The lack of proper transportation has been felt for decades in the Los Angeles area. As their population increases, Orange County cities are faced with this same problem. The solution to the problem should be found far in advance of the day when this area will have another half-million population. It is true that bus lines are operating in the more densely populated areas of Southern California and that monorail systems are visioned for a few selected routes. But what about the transportation requirements of probably 2 million people who live far away from accessible bus or monorail stops? The population of Southern California is deployed in too many sectors to be effectively served by a conventional and yet economically feasible system. Constant operation of an automobile is the most demanding item on the roadway with other little girls.

Several interim committee hearings are slated to begin in September and many hearings will be close enough for the general public to attend and get an idea of how the legislative committee process works. Disneyland has opened its doors to the legislators on Sept. 6. On that date, it will be California Legislators Day at Disneyland. Every state legislator — 40 senators and 80 assemblymen — is invited to be the guests of Disneyland. Their immediate families will also attend as guests. Hosts are Disneyland, and the Orange County delegation to the state capitol, Assemblymen Badham, Dannemeyer, Whetmore and John A. Murdy. Disney Project More than 25,000,000 persons from all parts of the world are expected to ride a "Magic Skyway" in Ford Motor Company's Pavilion at the New York World's Fair of 1964-65. The design came from Disneyland. Local Talent Encouraged At Seventeen apprentices in theater arts are concluding 12 weeks of mixed glamour and hard work at the new Melodyland Theatre in Anaheim, and a new apprentice crew is being recruited to succeed the original drama-learners in the coming fall season, which starts with "Firefly" on Sept. 10. Theater apprentices are recognized by Actors Equity Association, and receive a "crash" course in all phases of theater operation, Co-producer Sammy Lewis of Melodyland Theatre said today. Age To 29 The "kids" in the original Melodyland Theatre apprentice crew range in age from 18 to an "ancient" 29 years. Most of them are dramatic arts majors in high school or college, and most crew will return to school in September, making room for other apprentice group.

National Average Gazette of Fabulous DISNEYLAND year only 25¢ Per Month California, Thursday, August 29, 1963 Phone PR 2-1800 Suspects' Boondoggling' Aero-Space Contracts Thomas, a former Secretary of Navy and former president of World Airlines, says he strongly suspects that certain dee and space contracts and contracts may be awarded to us "for economic, sociological other reasons regardless of criteria of quality, cost and performance." Thomas noted that, according information he received earlier year, the National Aeronautical Space Administration was planning to spend some $504 million in construction of facilities in the four states of Texas, Florida, Louisiana and New Mexico as compared to $24 million in California. "Wrong End" Most non-defense businessmen," Thomas said, "fail to realize that there is a long lead time to all procurements whether it be for research and development or production. It appears that many California based firms are at the wrong end of that long lead time... their contracts are nearing termination... while companies in other states are at the beginning stages which will cover from five to ten years in the future." "Consequences" Thomas recognized that the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce for the past six years had been campaigning to preserve quality in defense production, but emphasized that all too many of "our businessmen do not really foresee the consequences should California firms begin to lose contracts for other than technical reasons." to Move Saturday Public Transport Created Overnight We might take a lesson from Mexico City where taxi fares are among the lowest in the world and where taxi patronage is probably the most popular. The Mexican system is made possible by a share-the-ride policy where for one peso per zone a passenger can cross the entire city for the equivalent of 25 cents. A patron can have an exclusive cab if he so desires and the tariff is still low. But the cabs which cruise main thoroughfares, letting passengers on and off, are far the most popular. These are the equivalent of jitney buses which existed in most American cities, large and small, in the early days of the automobile. Existing cab fleets could be the nucleus of this system. The jitney plan would provide opportunities for thousands of men and women who, with a relatively small investment, could get into business in a matter of hours, under proper central authority. Licensed and insured, they should be safe and more dependable than other forms of transportation, particularly if given speed and load limits. It will take some big doing to replace even the money-losing bus lines. Council Approves Building Anaheim police are expected to begin moving into their new headquarters Saturday following the city council's acceptance of the $862,440 facility. Acceptance is subject to completion of a few minor details and painting of small portions of the building. City officials toured the building Friday to make a final inspection and came up with a list of about 20 items, such as doors closing too fast. In a letter to City engineer Jim Maddox, Architect Redmond R. Coglan recommended accepting the building a structurally sound. Hold Up Payment City Attorney Joe Giesler also recommended the buildings acceptance but ruled that the city should not pay Greschner Corporation, the builder, any further fee until all the conditions on the list were met. Completion of the building, set for last July, has been held up by strikes and other delays. Greschner has been reorganized $190 a day. The jitney plan would provide opportunities for thousands of men and women who, with a relatively small investment, could get into business in a matter of hours, under proper central authority. Licensed and insured, they should be safe and more dependable than other forms of transportation, particularly if given speed and load limits. It will take some big doing to replace even the money-losing bus lines with jitneys and there will be agony in transportation investment circles, but sooner or later something like this plan must be carried out. Nothing else would seem to fulfill Southern California's transportation needs. A few main-line monorail routes more than likely would pay their way, if not a profit, but it is not economically feasible to cover the entire area with that type of equipment or with buses. Couraged At Theater School or college, and most of this new will return to school in mid-December, making room for another apprentice group. Bright School Orange Coast College's evening session offers 14 certificate programs in business and management, police science, and trade technical fields. Courses of study toward certifications in business and management include Accounting, Business Management and Retailing, Electronic Data Processing, Escrow Management, Insurance, Purchasing, Real Estate, and Sales and Marketing Management. Glenda Lovell, 18, of $20 Normandy Pl., Anaheim, (who was Janet Blair's dresser when "South Pacific" played the theatre) says of the school: "You work hard and very fast, but you really learn what show business is all about."

Tax Rate Final reading was given an ordinance establishing the city's tax rate for the 1963-64 fiscal year. For the 13th consecutive year the tax rate will be $1.10 per $100 assessed valuation. Break down of the rate is as follows: 38 cents, 2.4 mills for city operating expenses; 20 cents, 2.4 mills for the public library; and 51 cents, 5.2 mills for interest on bonds.
