OPEN UP — Shelly Bailey 4½, of 2622 Paladin Ave., and her boy friend, Paul Hirsch, 6, of 2633 Paladin, can hardly wait for classes to begin at the new James M. Guinn Elementary School, 1051 S. Sunkist Ave. In fact, they were at the school a day ahead of time trying the doors to their classroom to see if they could get in. Guinn School is named after the first teacher and principal of the Anaheim City School district in 1873. The school opened Tuesday with about 900 students. (Gazette Photo by Douglas Huff) Newest in The Cancer Fact Finders in 'Fifth Round' American Cancer Society volunteers in Anaheim and throughout Orange County are getting ready for the fifth round of fact-gathering in the Society's continuing study of the possible relationship of human living habits to cancer. The 5,364 Orange County residents who volunteered to fill out extensive questionnaires about their living habits in 1959, are among more than 1.1 million persons enrolled in this nationwide study.

Additional consoles, enough to equip more than 20 ships of the fleet, are scheduled for future delivery. Service test models of the consoles were delivered to the Navy in mid-1958 and underwent successful testing at the Naval Electronics Laboratory in San Diego. Big Order Procurement officials at the Sacramento Air Materiel Area with headquarters at McClellan Air Force Base discovered that an Air Force Contract in the amount of $1,942,882.00 was placed with Autotectics Division of North American Aviation, Anaheim. The award is for spares and aerospace ground equipment to support F-104G and TF104G aircraft. Sacramento Air Materiel Area (SMAMA), including such geographical areas as Northern California, Nevada and Oregon is a subsidiary agency of the Air Force Logistics Command. Meet Tonight The September meeting of the Orange County Historical Society will be at the Charles W. Bowers Memorial Museum, 2002 N. Main Street, Santa Ana this evening at 8 p.m. The 5,384 Orange County residents who volunteered to fill out extensive questionnaires about their living habits in 1959, are among more than 1.1 million persons enrolled in this nationwide study. Dr. James A. Potter, Chairman of the Branch’s Professional Education Committee, said the organization of the county study centers around 43 group leaders who enrolled some 400 researchers. Each researcher is keeping contact with from five to fifteen persons for six years. Researcher’s kits are now being assembled for the annual follow-up throughout our county in October. "Couldn't Be Done" When the mammoth six-year epidemiology study was first proposed professional polltakers threw up their hands in amazement, claiming it couldn't be done. But the study is proving to be a huge success. Dr. Potter said that since it began, only one-half of one per cent of the participants have dropped out or been "lost." It is expected that when all of the data has been collected and analyzed at the end of the study, much new light will be shed on cancer and other diseases. "We are looking forward to preliminary reports on limited aspects of the study much sooner than that", he commented. "And will share them with the community". This year each volunteer worker will carry a supplementary questionnaire to enrollees in the study. This questionnaire, confidential like those filled out in earlier years, will be forwarded unopened to American Cancer Society headquarters in New York, where it will be processed, analyzed and correlated by electronic computers. Success in Orange County has been due to the hard work of dedicated volunteers like these group Anaheim leaders: Mrs. Byrl Brock, 717 North Pine; Mrs. Orvin F. Coombe, 1546 S. Nutwood; Mrs. Robert Davis, 860 S. Marjan; Mrs William Hodgson, 1521 Redwood Ave.; Mrs. Richard A. Husmann, 9732 Stonybrok Dr. Mrs. Robert Imegart, 1218 Hav- Night Course A new non-credit course in franchising and licensing in marketing will be taught by the University of southern California in Anaheim for 10 weeks starting Sept. 26. Harry Goldman, franchise consultant, will teach one group on Thursdays from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Chrysler Training Center, 1111 N. Brookhurst Ave. The classes will cover franchising versus licensing; what businesses may be franchised; general types of franchises and licenses; pre-franchise organization; franchise management including training, follow-up and coordination; franchisor - franchiseeer relationships, and subfranchises and resales. Sees Landslide Congressman James B. Utt's proposal to completely restrict Communist propaganda of foreign origin from the U.S. Mails has gained overwhelming support in returns to a private poll. The poll, conducted by the National Federation of Independent Business, Inc., is not complete but already shows an early 80 per cent approval of H.R. 1843 according to federation President C. Wilson Harder. Harder said the final tally may vary slightly, but the returns are broad enough to assure a landslide for Utt's bill. Slate Dinner Orange County Chapter of the National Association of Accountants will meet at the Disneyland Hotel for a dinner and technical session Sept. 15. Meet Tonight The September meeting of the Orange County Historical Society will be at the Charles W. Bowers Memorial Museum, 2002 N. Main Street, Santa Ana this evening at 8 p.m. Dr. Mabel C. Meyers of San Diego State College will give an illustrated program under the title "Geologic History of Orange County." Prior to going to San Diego Dr. Meyers taught biological sciences and geology at Fullerton Junior College. She did her undergraduate work and master's requirements at Pomona College. For her Ph.D. she went to Cornell University. Handshaking Reserved For Ladies... The editor's opposition to handshaking as a silly custom doesn't apply when a pretty lady comes into the office, with or without a story to be published in the Gazette. But if her views on handshaking coincide with his own he bows respectfully as he does to all men and women who work to keep the community alive by communicating with others via the printed page. If you're too busy to drop in, try telephoning him a 772-1800 and he'll voice the equivalent of a respectful bow. Flies to Go Says County Department County flies have to go. Orange County Health Dept. may enforce a county compliance with existing fly ordinance by doing their own abatement — then charging property holders for services rendered. This action would only be taken when the property owner had been asked to correct conditions but failed to do so. This suggstion came from the County Fly Committee as an alternative to the twice tried and highly protested procedure of imitating criminal proceedings against violators. The "Abatement" plan was first suggested to supervisor David Baker last May. Currently, the county health department is conducting criminal proceedings against a Stanton chicken rancher through Anaheim-Fullerton Municipal Court.

Multiple Ride EDITORIAL City Could Avoid Sour Contracts City Could Avoid Sour Contracts The City Council's presumption of satisfactory performance by the licensed and bonded contractor on the Anaheim Central Library and Police Headquarters buildings can be understood. There is an element of chance-takin in nearly all dealings. The outcome of the deal is far different from the smooth-running performance that was expected. Months past the completion date, many subcontractors have not been paid and some of them refuse to complete their work until they are assured of payment. The contractor is said to have had six superintendents on the job in 18 months. Even the architects say they are unable to determine how many subcontracts were involved. The amount of architects' fees are in dispute. Involved in this unwarranted bawl-up is $1,690,000 of the city taxpayers' money, some of which is said by city officials to be drawing interest for the contractor while his subcontractors wait for their money. Library Architect Joe Jordan may have put his finger on the trouble that is the failure of the Council to heed his appeal to it to hold off before letting the contract to Greschner Construction Co. because he didn't like the looks of the deal. Without criticism of the Council (he says 'nice guys finish last') Jordan suggests that the city get tough in its contract letting in the future and beware of unrealistic items which he found in the winning bid. City Atty Joe Giesler agrees with him that the city should amend its ordinance or bidding to include the provisions found in the state and federal laws that the names of all subcontractors be posted on the job, additions not permitted. Business Activity Sets Record Southern California's business activity continued "normal," setting another record high during the month of August, J. S. Fisher Vice President and manager of Security First National Bank's Anaheim branch, reported. The August performance marked the fifth month in the last seven that the area's overall economy has reached a new level. Hurwitz is Honorary Engle Fete Chairman Democratic State Chairman Eugene L. Wyman has appointed Orange Attorney Sam Hurwitz and Norman Meyer co-chairman of the Orange County Testimonial Dinner Committee for U. S. Senator Clair Engle. The Democratic leaders will organize local support for the dinner which will be held at the Hollywood Palladium Sept. 21 to honor the California son for his 30 years of public service. During his 15 years in the House, Engle became one of the most influential Democrat members. He was Chairman of the Interior and Insular Affairs Committee and also served as Assistant Democratic Whip. Since his election to the United States Senate in 1958, he has been named Chairman of the Democratic Legislative Review Committee and serves on for other Senate Committees. Southern California’s business activity continued “normal,” setting another record high during the month of August. J. S. Fisher Vice President and manager of Security First National Bank’s Anaheim branch, reported. The August performance marked the fifth month in the last seven that the area’s overall economy has reached a new level. According to Fisher, the estimated volume of business for the past month indicates the economy is continuing to operate at a level seven per cent ahead of last year. At the same time, business activity now stands a full 24 per cent above the 1960-61 recession level. Sales Gain As of the week ended Aug. 23, the bank’s business index was reported at 134 (preliminary), compared with 133.3 in July and 125.2 in August, 1962.” Gains in real estate sales and an increase in bank check clearings were among the major sources of strength. Department store sales and industrial power usage also reflected increased activity. Employment in Southern California metropolitan areas continued to rise, the report noted. July (the latest month available) was the fifth successive month to record a gain in seasonally adjusted total civilian employment. More Jobs July also was the first month in 1963 to register a gain in the total number of employees in manufacturing industries. Total was approximately 948,330, compared with 937,600 in July, 1962. The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment remained unchanged at 5.9 per cent of the area’s total labor force. Orange Attorney Sam Hurwitz and Norman Meyer co-chairman of the Orange County Testimonial Dinner Committee for U. S. Senator Clair Engle. The Democratic leaders will organize local support for the dinner which will be held at the Hollywood Palladium Sept. 21 to honor the California son for his 30 years of public service. Huwitz of 15181 Owens Drive, Santa Ana, has offices at 100 W. Chapman and is a member of the Democratic State Central Committee. Meyer, 2988 Ceylon Drive, Costa Mesa, is Chairman of the Democratic Central Committee of Orange County. They reported that contributions to the $100-a-plate event will be used by the Democratic State Central Committee to build the party’s campaign organization in Orange County and other areas of the state to help insure a Democratic “Victory in ‘64.” Wyman, who also will be chairman of the testimonial dinner, told the local chairmen that “Because he is recuperating from a recent illness, Engle may not be at the dinner in person; however, he will be represented by a large delegation of other distinguished governmental leaders from Washington.” Guests at the dinner also will be celebrating the birthday of the Senator who will be 52 years old Sept. 21. Engle began his career in public service thirty years ago as District Attorney of Tehama County in Northern California. In 1942 he was elected to the California State Senate and in 1943 he was elected to the House of Representatives in a Special Election. TRUE FRENCH ALPINE — old French Alpine goat, livestock breed and scales the nearest they may be. Here, to the most influential Democrat members.

Estimated enrollment in the Anaheim City school District for the 1965-64 school year is 15,525 pupils by Oct. 1. Enrollment a year ago was 14,980, an increase of 545. Bringing the elementary teaching staff to 456 will be 100 new teachers, some of whom are replacing others. Last year 438 were employed by the elementary school district. Big Increase The Anaheim Union High School District expects 23,808 students, an increase of 2,549 more than a beginning enrollment of 21,350 for this time last year. Of the 974 teachers employed by the high school district this year, 240 are new to Anaheim and some are replacing others not re-hired by the board. The teaching force last year was 882. Fares for All Sought 'Unrealistic' low fares between Orange County cities and Los Angeles will be raised if the Santa Fe Railway's application for increases is granted by the California Public Utilities Commission. Santa Fe Railway is seeking to bring current multiple ride coach fares for Anaheim, Fullerton and Santa Ana more closely in line with prices charged by other public carriers. It is planned to file the application tomorrow. No change is requested in the price of regular one-way or round-trip tickets. Little Demand In the last few months only nine multiple ride books per month have been sold, a railway spokesman said. "These multiple ride fares have been with us since the early 1920's," the railway petition said, "and they have not been changed appreciably since that time. As a result, they are entirely unrealistic." Wide Difference The regular Los Angeles-Anaheim fare by Santa Fe, one way, is 78 cents, round-trip, $1.45. The MTA fare for the same distance is $1.13 one way and $2.26 round-trip. Santa Fe's multiple ride ticket varies between 35 and 17 cents per ride, depending on the basis purchased, and assuming it is completely used. Multiple ride fares apply to tickets purchased on a 25-ride, 30-ride, 46-ride and 60-ride basis. If the relief requested by this application is granted, tickets will be sold between these points only on a one-way or round trip basis. "Our sole purpose in filing this application is to bring these extremely low fares to a more realistic and equitable level," he concluded. Big Increase The Anaheim Union High School District expects 23,898 students, an increase of 2,549 more than a beginning enrollment of 21,350 for this time last year. Of the 974 teachers employed by the high school district this year, 240 are new to Anaheim and some are replacing others not re-hired by the board. The teaching force last year was 882. Night School Night School is expected to attract 10,000 to 12,000 students for the whole year, with 5500 attending Classes at Magnolia, Anaheim and Western Highs the first semester. About 145 teachers will be involved in the rapidly expanding program, which enrolled only 7,000 students last year. This year the AUHS District consists of 10 junior highs and five high schools. In addition one high school, Cenralia, and one junior high are now under construction with occupancy expected next September. New School The Anaheim Elementary School District has 21 elementary schools. Now new schools are being built at present, but one, the James M. Guinn School, was dedicated last Sunday. Guinn School, located on south Sunkist Ave., will have 26 teachers assigned and approximately 932 children in attendance. In addition, the district owns two sites that will be developed in the future, one located on South and Sunkist Ave. and the other located on ninth St., south of Hatella Ave. These two sites will be developed when the need arises and the money is made available for the buildings. Lunches Hot lunches are available at most of the schools in both districts; with sack lunches and a la carte items being sold at the high schools. Busses are provided by both districts to transport the students living outside certain areas not within walking distance to school. Anaheim City School District busses will transport 4200 students to and from school in 24 busses. The AUHSD has 36 busses. For the first time in several years not a single student will be on double session. in his election to the United Senate in 1958, he has named Chairman of the Democratic Legislative Review Committee and serves on four Senate Committees.
