The baby will cry... and let's hope or she—is a lusty one. The baby will cry at some moment week in a delivery room, or may be a taxicab or a police squad car, make Orange County history. Maybe it will be twins, triplets, births, or (remotely possible) quintets whose cry will herald the arrival of Orange County's millionth infant. Both those who like and dislike divided communities will properly of the baby "Lord deliver it!" Well, a pretty good job of delivering into our midst has already been done. The millionth resident will have its location guaranteed, with a four-year scholarship in some college or university in this county. Gifts will be showered on the baby and its parents. The mayors of 24 Orange County schools will come to pay their respects, all other Wise Men, including maypowerful ruler from a capital in north. But the child grow up to rejoice for in our hospitality. It will be a bad symbol of our growth. But we reminded by the general chair of the One Millionth Residentining Committee, that mere population growth is not synonomous with maturity and increased stature. Says Elino Kolemainen with native Finnish wisdom: "Cultural, religious, educational and industrial growth can and will reach greater proportions ahead, and they should come together." We can strive for community greatness by emphasizing those fine things in the home, Sunday school and public school classrooms. We can aim for the ideal of maximum development of the individual growing up in the community, no matter what the population. We can hope for men to match our mountains. We can have those aspirations, but not without their cultivation in the home and in the classroom and not without insistence on the best in political leadership. We can't pick parents for babies, but we can hope for the maximum in opportunity for every one that is born. When John Frehling and George Hansen purchased the site for the Mother Colony that became Anaheim, the noble seller, Juan Pacifico Ontiveros and his Senora, Martina, told them: "The land isn't fit for goats." There certainly was room for improvement. There'll be no dearth of room for higher goals in the future, though our civilization last for eons. —Edsel Newton Editor, The Gazette Currier Named Grand Marshal of Halloween Festival Parade Parade Marshal and diviptains for Anaheim's 40th Halloween Festival Pagade have been named by sensoring Chamber of Commeral Chairman Al Marcoux and Manager George Strachan said that Charles "Chuck" Currier, popular manager of the Disneyland Hotel will head the 1963 edition of the colorful parade as its marshal.

ED IN FEBRUARY zette NEYLAND ay, Sept. 26, 1963 Phone PR 2-1800 $9 Million Bond Issue Projected Feb 25, 1964 has been tentatively set as the date when voters in the Anaheim Union, Brea-Olinda and Placentia High School Districts will decide upon the formation of a new Northern Orange County Junior College District, elect a board of trustees and approve $9 million in bonds. The date was set by a steering committee composed of trustees from three high school districts who met with County Superintendent of Schools, Frank Grunenfelder. Motions for the elections and bond amounts were offered by N. E. Wolcott, Brea-Olinda Trustee. It was seconded by Anaheim Union High School District Trustee, William Almand. Observers Trustees and administrators from Fullerton Union High School and Junior College District were also there as observers as well as to verify other agreements previously made with the steering committee. All four districts have agreed that eventually the new junior college district would merge with the Fullerton Junior College District. Negotiations for the merger would begin after the new junior $4.5 Million Housing Development Planned Overruling the Planning Commission, the City Council has approved the rezoning of 30 acres of land in the northeast industrial area from R-A (residential agriculture) to R-3 multiple dwelling. This increases the value of the property, owned by Robert Dowling, an estimated $500,000 and reduces the size of the heavy industrial area described in the Master Plan. Women Push Outlay Hours through the old Anaheim Hall and the new Police and Mary buildings are planned by local women who have formed a committee to support the $8, $12.4 million capital improvements bond issue. Distribution of posters and bills and a telephone camerabased on inform the voters on the proposals are also planned by four Mrs. Stella Chavos, wife Planning Commissioner James Chavos, Mrs. Mary Andrews, Barbara Wainseott and Mrs. Siffin. To Show Need A review of their plans be sent to the City Council, they said hours through the present city here would be to show the role how badly a new one is used while he tours through new police and library buildings would indicate what the 1960 tax money has purchased. Most of the people they have acted so far, they said, did understand that passing the bond measures will not increase $1.10 tax rate. Fewer still know about the low interest rates the bonds, they said. The bond proposals are for waiver expansion, sewers, storm tanks, branch libraries, new hall, and electrical systemansion. The action will be finalized as soon as E. A. Raulston of the Heritage Construction Co. presents satisfactory plans for the $4.5 million condominium development on the property, bounded by Placentia Yorba Blvd., Dowling St., and Orangethorpe Aves. Councilman Jack Dutton received unanimous support when he stated that the granting of apartment zoning would not jeopardize the future of the Anaheim and Placentia industrial areas. Not A Precedent Natural barriers separate it from property being held by the city for future industrial development and because of this the residential use would not be incompatible, he said. Because the Dowling property was granted apartment zoning doesn't mean the city is going to start granting other apartment zonings throughout the area industrial areas, the councilmen emphasized. But, said Dutton, the City should definitely do something about speeding development of the industrial areas if the city is going to hold the land. To learn more about plans to hire a consultant to recruit industries for Anaheim, Dutton said he was going to meet with Anaheim Chamber of Commerce Geneal Manager George Strachan. Commissioners had contended that to grant the apartment zoning would damage the integrity of the industrial area. Trustees and administrators from Fullerton Union High School and Junior College District were also there as observers as well as to verify other agreements previously made with the steering committee. All four districts have agreed that eventually the new junior college district would merge with the Fullerton Junior College District. Negotiations for the merger would begin after the new junior college district board of trustees were elected, if the voters approve the new district. The Fullerton district would then assume its own bonded indebtness after the proposed merger. Unanamous That the newly-elected board should proceed in choosing and purchasing the a new junior college site was unanamous among the committeemen. The newly-elected trustees would not necessarily remain in office but instead another election would be held for trustees to represent all four districts. Legal Steps Grunenfelder told the board he would find out and discuss with the county counsel the best method of setting up trustee areas for the election. After the election the steering committee won't be dissolved but will remain intact to continue to work on the planned merger and establish voting precincts within its district for the pending election. Public hearing for the formation of the new district is not required by law although one could be held, Dr. John Packard, Orange County Schools office said. Little Interest A previous public hearing, said Trustee Ben Shroeder of the Anaheim Union High School District, held prior to State Board of Education approval, was attended by only a few citizens and the committeemen. Another one was unnecessary he felt. Other committee members were in general agreement with him. Newly elected trustees would only act as an interim board and would remain in office only until another election was held, maybe one year later, according to district representation, Grunenfelder stated.
