With estates and legacies included, the full Orange County achievement for 1963 stands at $213,803.

Anaheim followed closely with $20,179, directed by Mrs. Harry Smith, 204 Plantation Place, Anaheim. Seeks Deal Councilmen are considering another financier's proposal to underwrite Anaheim's projected multi-million-dollar convention center and civic auditorium. Frank A. Hawkins, representing Blackford and Co., Kansas City Mo., told the city council: "On only a million dollar deal I wouldn't be here. It's a volume deal to turn a nice profit. That's the reason we're here from Kansas City." The council decided that now is not the time for final decision on the financing, which will be underwritten by a four per cent room occupancy tax. Acquisition of the site and preliminary drawings will be necessary before any financial plans are made. Freedom Talk "Do You Know Your Freedoms" will be the question asked by Wendell Noble, Glendale Federal Savings & Loan Association. Kiwanis Party The Kiwanis International's District Convention will be "kicked off" by the 1959 Lieutenant-Governors at a special party Saturday evening, September 21, at the Charter House Hotel.

According to James H. Wolfe, secretary of the 1959 Lieutenant Governors, about 35 will attend the pre-convention dinner party. Lose Water Slippage of a 50-foot section has been discovered in the Olive Hills 60 million gallon water reservoir, which was completed in 1962. Gus Lenain, Water Superintendent told the city council that the water has been drained into the Santa Ana River to facilitate repair of the asphalt lined dyke. The reservoir's drainage will not affect Anaheim's daily water supply, he said.

Young women members of Lincoln Park Home Owners Association this week began preparing for a city-wide campaign for a successful bond election Oct. 8, when Anaheim residents will vote on a $12,-400,000 outlay for water, electric, sewer and storm drain Bank Brings War on Check Artists to Analy Elect Yorbas to Symphony Board Among new directors elected Elect Yorbas to Symphony Board Among new directors elected to the board of the Symphony Association of Orange County are Mr. and Mrs. B. M. Yorba Jr. of Anaheim. Californians since 1769 and land owners in what is now Orange County since 1810, the Yorba family has been singled out for distinction as the first farmers of California continuously farming the same land. The recognition was accorded 15 years ago by the Associated Farmers of California. Ben and his wife, Margaret, live in a ranch house above Santa Ana Canyon Road with their six sons and four daughters. They attended Fullerton High School and were married in Roswell, N. M. He was a flier in World War II, was shot down over Germany, and spent most of the war in POW camp. Yorba is a leader in the citrus industry and holds office in local and federal citrus growers' organizations. He serves on the county board of Catholic Big Brothers. Mrs. Yorba is active in the Fullerton Assistance League and the Damas de Caridad serving St. Jude Hospital. Is the inside of a balloon a proper place to operate a bank? This was the question confronting City Councilmen when the First National Bank of Anaheim requested them to allow a sausage snapped balloon as a temporary structure if the newly formed bank finds a suitable location. A representative of the bank said the nylon and vinyl coated building had been successfully used for 11 months by the Great Western Savings and Loan as a branch office in Lakewood. He said it is kept inflated by two compressors, and has successfully survived attacks by knife-wielding vandals. ed to Hit 6000 Gazette of Fabulous DISNEYLAND only 25¢ Per Month nia, Thursday, Sept. 19, 1963 Phone PR 2-1800 ASTER PLAN Hearing Resumes Oct. 15 If the city were to follow the long-pending general plan to Resumes Oct. 15 If the city were to follow the long-pending general plan to the letter it would have to condemn large areas of land for redevelopment, Councilman A. J. Schutte told fellow members of the Anaheim City Council at a recent meeting. Schutte expressed his views at the first hearing on the plan, which has been under development for seven years. The plan received a cool reception from the Council and it was apparent that it will continue to contain debatable features, whatever its fate. Citizens and Councilmen spent two hours discussing the plan and decided that the hearing should be continued until Oct. 15 so that Councilman Jack Dutton, who is recovering from a recent eye operation, could attend. Bearing the brunt of the Long harangues against the plan was Planning Director Dick Reese, and the Planning Department. Schutte's Views "In Russia and China they take the land away from the people, commented Councilman A. J. Schutte, 'and we might as well take it away here.'" Elaborating, former mayor Schutte said: "All people have the moral right in this country to own land and use it as they see fit as long as it works no hardship or inequities on their neighbors. Here we tell you what you can do with it. We might as well take it away." The plans designation of industrial areas was the subject of many terse comments: Industrial development has been rather pitiful," said Councilman Fred Krein. Schutte added: "Only heroic effort by Keith (referring to City Manager Keith Murdoch) brought Autonetics to Anaheim. Without that we wouldn't have all that industrial area. Santa Ana had already announced it had Autonetics." Merchants Invited To Clinic Bank of America declares war on bogus check artists in Anaheim on Sept. 24, 25 and 26. Its task force, called the Merchant's Loss Prevention Clinic, goes into action at the bank's Brookhurst-Ball branch at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 24 according to a communique issued today by Manager William C. Atteberry. The clinic will move to the Anaheim Main Office Wednesday and Thursday. The clinic's main objective is to hold the line against the "paper bandits" who bilk California merchants out of an estimated $25 million each year. Atteberry said the battle line will be drawn here at the cash register counters in Anaheim stores. Color Film Main feature of the clinic, which will be presented before an audience of local merchants is an 18-minute soundslide color film titled "They Shall Not Pass." The film shows how bad check and cash losses occur and the defense (Continued on Page 2) The plans designation of industrial areas was the subject of many terse comments: Industrial development has been rather pitiful," said Councilman Fred Krein. Schutte added: "Only heroic effort by Keith (refering to City Manager Keith Murdoch) brought Autonetics to Anaheim. Without that we wouldn't have all that industrial area. Santa Ana had already announced it had Autonetics." "Piece of Paper" Councilman Odra Chandler asked Reese: Are going to have a reason for granting of denying a zoning application on the basis of the general plan? Reese replied: "The General Plan is just a piece of paper, which should reflect policy thinking of the legislative body." Chandler also asked if the city shouldn't allow other types of land uses in perimeter portions of the areas. Schutte said apartment zoned land is worth $35,000 an acre, and that manufacturing zoned land valued at only $17,000 and acre isn't selling. Traffic Jam They also questioned Reese about holding land for industry when it may not develop until 1980. Bill Walker, a local citizen, asked if the proposed streets, highways, and freeways serving the northeast industrial areas would ever be adequate. He cited the tremendous traffic jams that occur every day on the streets and freeway when the shift change takes place at Autonetics. Inability to attract new industry to Anaheim was one of Councilman Krein's questions. He asked Reese: "Do you feel we have been get- (Continued on Page 2)
