Metro Status Opens New Era for County An Anaheim-Santa Ana-Garden Grove Metropolitan Standard Statistical Area is now a fact after 11 years of effort by the Chambers of Commerce of this county for separate status. Rep. James B. Utt wired the news and congratulations to those who prepared commercial data that qualifies the community for the new designation. “This is the successful culmination of 11 years of hard work,” wired the jubilant congressman, “and I wish to congratulate the people of Orange County who contributed so much in preparing and presenting the massive amount of statistical data to qualify within the necessary criteria of such a district. “Orange County is one of four new standard metropolitan statistical areas granted in California. The delay was occasioned by the fact that over 100 applications were under consideration and the Budget Bureau would not release its decision on one without including all. “The action by the Bureau of the budget will be most helpful to Orange County.” Utt declared. “We will no longer be a statistical figure buried in the Los Angeles-Long Beach metropolitan area, and will provide data for industries throughout the United States in evaluating lion persons have achieved recognition. They have their freedom from being hidden previously in the Los Angeles-Long Beach metropolitan area. “This can mean tremendous things to us. School bonds, for instance, can gain certain points. A few points gained on an interest rate can mean a difference of $250,000 total savings.” Phillips said. “In Orange County we have low bonds, higher incomes, and less unemployment. We are the 24th largest metropolitan area in the country out of 212 as of last year. We will exceed this in 1963. “Last year we were 16th in total building. Now we will become apparent to industrialists, federal and state agencies and bankers. This is a major breakthrough to a future unlimited.” Meet Here The California Conference of Local Mental Health Directors, Judge McGraw Takes Oath Induction ceremonies to seat newly appointed Judge Phillip R.
