Rhyme And Reason By LOUISE METEER Green grow the hills, the tall, tall hills With verdant pine, and rocks and rills And blue, blue lake reflects the sky And sun grows bright and breezes sigh But none sigh louder, naught more green Than he who plays the slot machine, While pennies, dimes and silver dollars Just disappear the while he hollers. Having just returned from Nature's paradise at Lake Tahoe I find myself, perhaps not so oddly, bereft of inspiration despite the beauty of all that I saw. For some reason all that I can remember is the sound of slot machines, the babble of the crowd, and the raucous notes of weird music floating from behind glass-encaed cocktail bars. To one who never has seen games of chance on a grand scale it is simply incredible how much money people have to throw away. To one who plays a five cent slot machine for the first time it also is amusing to see how the thing is fixed to ensnare the player by the simple enticement of letting him win now and then. I talked to a number of shining-eyed women who assured me that they had made a jackpot. One woman was beside herself with joy because she had two of them in a single evening. Her winnings were $15.00. Her losses . . . she didn't go into that. Being something of a philosopher I can't help thinking that this attitude might be a good approach to life. Count your wins and not your losses. See those losses as something worth the game. And whatever you do, keep right on playing. Never give up for a moment. I turned "chicken" playing my slot machine and lost $5.00. "A fool and his money is soon parted." The first home loan by a savings and loan association was made in Frankford, Pa., in 1831.

Badham (R-Costa Mesa) claims. In view of Orange County's fine record of handling its own problems, Badham seriously questioned the need for this extreme measure in Welfare when he spoke before the Santa Ana Rotary Club. Welfare costs in the state have increased some 4300 per cent, since 1937, according to Badham. True the population explosion and increased cost of living would have a great affect on the welfare statistics. But in 1940 California's population was 6,907,387 and on Jan. 1, 1963 it was estimated to be 17,330,000, or approximately 300 per cent greater. Obviously the cost of living has not jumped 4000 per cent. The percentage of the population on welfare has climbed to new heights. Welfare in its fundamental form is a necessity in a society such as ours. But welfare in its present form is not needed. The expressed goal of the department is to rehabilitate persons by helping them to become productive, self-reliant citizens. There is no need for the working force of the state to support families in their third generation on welfare, or families where the number of illegitimate children exceed the number of legitimate children. As Badham stated, that until the people of this state fully realized where these welfare programs are taking them, and act in concerted unity, as do the people of Orange County, we are heading straight towards fiscal bankruptcy while claiming to be do-gooders and helping all people.

It will be located on the northeast corner of Main and Olive. The new post office will be built and rented to the government by the Olive Company of 8672 Santa Ana Canyon Road. It should be ready for occupation sometime late this year or early next year. When completed it will be about twice the size of the present location. The building presently being used for the post office was formerly the Santa Fe depot. It was forced into service when the original Post Office at the corner of Orange-Olive Road and Lincoln burned down Dec. 10, 1961. Postmaster Dominguez with a staff of three operate the Olive Post Office. HONESTLY IN EAST ANAHEIM A CAR FIRST FEDERAL SAVINGS Association of Alhambra 1925 • A.G.

A CAR WASH COSTS 99¢ NO PURCHASE NECESSARY 49¢ WITH 15 GALS OF GASOLINE "A SEPTEMBER SPECIAL" LINCOLN & STATE COLLEGE BLVE Teacher’s Duty is to Continue Education We are reminded by an authority on the subject that a kindergarten pupil skipping off to school for the first time is one of the biggest social problems of the age. Not that we say he may be a problem child, but that he is a heavy responsibility to his teacher. The teacher will be successful to the extent that she has applied herself to her job, which job should include continuing study of all phases of child education—in depth. But she is not alone; administrators and parents have serious duties here. The seriousness of the business of teaching kindergarten pupils is brought out forcibly by Dr. Ebba M. Aronson, head of the education department of California Lutheran College, which institution certainly has the highest of standards. In preparing a dissertation on “Identification and Analysis of Problems Encountered by Kindergarten Teachers in California,” Dr. Aronson compiled the views of 313 teachers, a panel of 100 guidance specialists and education professors in 31 selected state-supported and privately-supported colleges and universities in this state. In this thorough roundup of experience and knowledge, Dr. Aronson encountered 2036 kindergarten teaching problems. Even when they were classified into 87 logical problem areas which fell within four categories and 11 subcategories, they were still stupendous and challenging problems, to both teachers and parents. In order of frequency of mention by the educators consulted by Dr. Aronson, the problems met most often had to do with protecting the environment and development of the child; relations between kindergarten, home and community; care and use of equipment, supplies and materials; excessive size of classes; first-day problems for the youngster; development of democratic attitudes; space and equipment for outside activities; meeting individual child problems, building readiness for learning and helping the child adapt to school. It is significant that Dr. Aronson found that the number and intensity of difficulties experienced by kindergarten teachers tended to diminish with the increase in teaching experience. But what is more significant are her findings that many teachers are not prepared to realistically meet and solve the problems they encounter; that there is a serious lack of communication between top-level educators and kindergarten teachers and that professors of elementary education, supervisors and administrators generally are not in close touch with the problems of the kindergarten teacher. We should expect kindergarten teachers to steadily improve their knowledge and skills. Does Apartment Boom Show Majority's Wish? The apartment house, for a time relegated to a symbol of urban decadence, has again reared its head as a significant factor in residential planning and development. The quest for suburbia is dwindling, if one is to believe zoning and building requests, and the trend is once more swinging toward an urban existence. But does the rekindled boom of apartment building really reflect the desires of the majority or is it supported only by economic necessity? Does the individual in an exploding population wish to live in multiple dwellings or is he, in desperation, merely seeking shelter under a roof? The general reaction in Orange County seems to substantiate the fact that apartment development is the result of the economic needs of many and the desire for wealth of a few. With almost every request for apartment approval comes mass protest from affected citizens. And yet the trend is unrelenting. The far-reaching ramifications of apartment building are perhaps not being given proper weight. The worth to commerce of the apartment populus must be considered in light of the load it will put on the schools of the community. It must be considered in light of the transient nature of that populus. And it must be considered in light of the quick deterioration of rental units.
