LIBRARY, CITY Mayor Angry At 'Lousy' Vote Tuesday Anaheim Mayor Rex L. Coons expressed the disappointment of all city officials at the "lousy" turnout of voters Tuesday. "It disappoints me more then the defeat of the two issues," he declared. It's a sad tragedy. The people won't take the initiative to exercise the greatest right they have — the right to vote. "The strength of our country depends on the kind of literature our children read. Everybody wants water to take a bath but they don't give a damn about our kids." "I've lived in Anaheim since 1912 and this is the lowest turnout of voters I can recolect." "This proves that people don't care. They won't vote, and I'm a tough loser."

MILLION FETE Housing, Travel Woes Seen For Orange County By EDSEL NEWTON Before he gets a chance to grow up — when he's only 10 years old — the millionth resident of Orange County likely will be one of 2,075,000 in the County. If the people of this county are wise in their planning, he'll find suitable public transportation available so as to avoid the bumper-to-bumper movement of an additional 83,000 automobiles, if not more. Two-thirds of his contemporaries likely will live in multiple dwellings. Prediction These predictions came from a computer-equipped UCLA economist and really expert at a Tues- bank book with $25 entered therein. Scholarship Derek, who was brought on the scene for only a brief period, had added to his collection of gifts a paid-up title insurance policy on any land he may own when he returns from the graduate school at Harvard which he will have been able to attend through the generosity of members of the Harvard Club of Orange County. Superior Judge Robert Gardner was master of ceremonies at the luncheon, with all his remarks and those of the guests trained on Derek and the De Bano family of Anaheim. Derek's parents are Raymond, 30, and Audrey De Bano, 28, of 4595 Houston St. Thein other chil- he is one of nine children, drives a Metropolitan Transit thority bus on the Santa route.

Prediction These predictions came from a computer-equipped UCLA economist and realty expert at a Tuesday luncheon at Disneyland Hotel where newborn Derek Frank De Bano was honored as "Mr. Million" by the mayors and councilmen and Chamber of Commerce officials of Orange County cities. Parents of "Mr. Million" received for him, on behalf of his hosts, a wide variety of gifts, none of which he will be able to evaluate for several years. He received keys to most of the Orange County cities or plaques commemorating his arrival at 12:01 a.m. Sept. 30 at Martin Luther Hospital. Gifts Oddly, Derek was presented only three gifts of immediate use to him — a diaper service for 30 days, a year's supply of baby toiletries and health service for a year, the latter from the Orange County Medical Association. Stanton officials planted an orange tree for Derek on City Hall grounds (so he will know what one looks like when he grows up and gave him a second one in a pot). An ardent spokesman for that city regretted "that he was born in one of our suburbs (Anaheim)! Derek was given a life membership in the Santa Ana District YWCA (without comment from the master of ceremonies except that the presentation left him with out comment.

Light Turnout An indifferent majority of the city's 44,500 registered voters let 18.4 per cent of their number a total of less than 8200, deem vital issues that had been plained to them for several months. This slender minority rejected the City Hall proposal by a vote of 5237 to 2028. It would have taken 5856 "yes" votes for the measure to carry. It stamped 5115 "Yes" voles and 3029 "noes" to defeat the proposal to erect a new branch library in the growing Euclid Ave. Ball Rd. area. A two-thirds majority was required for passage of the measures.
