Anaheim Fire Chief Lists Yule Tree Precautions Christmas tree lots are being established around town again and it won't be long before every home in Anaheim shines again with the warmth and splendor of the traditional symbol.

Yule Tree Precautions Christmas tree lots are being established around town again and it won't be long before every home in Anaheim shines again with the warmth and splendor of the traditional symbol of the Yuletide. The Christmas tree stands for the joy and gladness of the Christmas season, but it can produce horror and heartbreak if not properly installed and handled, according to Anaheim Fire Chief Ed. Stringer. To take the chances of mishap out of public and home installed Christmas trees, Chief Stringer listed some precautions to take: "When planning your Christmas tree at home, choose a safe location away from any heat source and where the tree cannot fall and block a doorway; cut the base on an angle, stand it in a container of wet sand or water, brace it well, and use only non-flammable decorations." Flameproofed cotton and crepe paper, non-flammable plastics, tinsels and flameproofed trees are available and will reduce the fire hazard. "Christmas tree lights and wiring should be of the approved type. Never use wiring with frayed or damaged insulators." County's Aid Offered Vets Jim Heim, Orange County Veterans Service Officer, has offered the help of his office to all veterans or veterans' survivors in the county who have received income questionnaires with their November pension checks. AND WHEN YOU LOOK INSIDE Beginning today on Page 4, the Gazette will present each week Reading Matters, a question and answer column by Ralph and Erwin Pearlman (no kin to the managing editor of this paper) on youngsters' reading problems. The authors of this column have spent 25 years studying the child's reading processes, and conduct two reading clinics in Los Angeles County.

Try to arrange globes so they are not in contact with the tree needles or gifts. "As gifts are unpacked opened, dispose of all the paper, wrappings, as these materials are extreme fire hazards. Be extra careful smoking around the tree home." "Christmas trees placed public places are covered with a set of regulations which should be observed meticulously. All trees more than one feet in height must be treated with flame-proofing material. Trees under three feet in height places need not be treated but decorations must be flameproof material and must be of the approved type." "Places of public assembly include following: school halls, banks, stores, office buildings, cocktail bars, dance clubs or any other place not classified as a private home." "Trees must be placed in room away from the public and not more than one tree may be placed in any room. All decorations must be flameproof material. No exit may be blocked when Christmas tree or decoration fires inspections will be conducted during the holidays and will be made for flaming." ARENTS TOLD SON By BOB PERLMAN The boys were young, the girls were younger — not yet high-school age — and they were all together in a motel room with 90 cans of beer. Fortunately for all concerned, the Anaheim police arrived just as the party was getting started, and by the time the matter was settled several sets of parents were facing a sickening problem. Their kids were bums — or about to be. "I don't know how they can avoid knowing," said Sgt. errill Heaton, Anaheim police juvenile officer. "But some these parents really don't know." "But if they cared enough ask a few simple questions to even look at their own dren, the way their child look and act, they couldn't knowing." For example, Heaton pointed out, the department has arrested 13 and 14 year-old girls shoplifting and discovered the girls each had a dozen more cashmere sweaters. DANGER 1. Home behavior, scholarship. If your youngster doesn't stay in line at home, and doesn't do well at school, there's a good chance he won't anywhere else. This is particularly true if there's a sudden change in his behavior or school grades. 2. Hair styles. Take a look at the youngsters who get their pictures in the paper for achievements in scholarship, school leadership, etc. You'll see the boys wear hair relatively short, and girls' hair stylings are tively simple. Radical differences from these stylings often signs of rebellion, and other signals show up as the youngster bears watching. 3. Church attendance. No more than 10 per of the youngsters who get real trouble report any lar church attendance, and your child has been active church work and suds stops, watch out.

Phone Company, Employes Conduct Seat Belt Campaign Employees of Pacific Telephone Co.' conducting their all-out company-union drive to place seat belts in the cars of all their fellow workers. The seat belt program is in its third year, with over 3000 sets of seat belts purchased. Starting with the combined efforts of the union and Pacific T. and T., Debuizer and Larson asked their fellow workers, "Which would you prefer; a body in traction or seat belts in action?" It is the utmost desire of both organizations that their employees be as safe as possible whether driving, working, or playing. The first three Sundays in December have been designated for the purchase and installation of the belts. This is one of the many safety endeavors put forth by the united effort new seat belts are being there will be a film continuously and on disbe Liberty Mutual's qualification dollar "Survival." This safety program is aided by the cooperative Anaheim Auto Parts which arranged a high-quality cost seat belt for the SON IS A THIEF old knowing," said Sgt. Evial Heaton, Anaheim police enile officer. "But somehow the parents really don't know. But if they cared enough to a few simple questions, or even look at their own chilla, the way their children and act, they couldn't help owing." For example, Heaton pointed at the department has arrest13 and 14 year-old-girls for plifting and discovered that girls each had a dozen or more cashmere sweaters in their closets. Then the officers learned that the parents had no idea where any of the sweaters came from. As for the wild party the poliice broke up, and similar affairs which don't get broken up until tragedy is approached, the sergeant pointed out that blissfully oblivious parents let this kind of thing happen as well. "Jennie says to her mother, I'm going to Suzie's for the night." Suzie is using the reverse technique on her mother, and the two girls end up some- where entirely different. "Don't these parents ever check on their kids' stories?" Sgt. Heaton asked. "Don't they ever look in to see if they've stayed in bed, once they say they're going to bed? The bedrooms are on the ground floor around here, you know." The parents apparently don't check, don't look, and don't care — until something happens, the sergeant said. Then the good people wonder — and sometimes cry. (Continued on Page 2) ANGER SIGNALS relatively short, and the hair stylings are relaly simple. Radical deviations from these styling are on signs of rebellion, and if their signals show up as well, youngster bears close watching. Church attendance. No more than 10 per cent of the youngsters who get into trouble report any regulary church attendance, and if your child has been active in church work and suddenly ups, watch out. 4. Possessions. If you've spent $50 on your daughter's wardrobe in the past year and she has $200 worth of sweaters in her dresser drawer — start asking questions — and fast. 5. Companions. Maybe you can't see your own children as others see them, but what about their friends. If your youngsters have companions you wouldn't want to have as your own children, maybe you're not seeing your children as they real- ly are. And if your children are away from home a great deal and never bring friends home — either they're ashamed of their friends or they're ashamed of you. In either case, ask. 6. Wherabouts. If they're going out, find out where, and with whom, and every once in a while, check. You used to look in at them at night every few minutes when they were babies — it won't hurt to do it once in a while now. m Gazette CITY PAPER OF FABULOUS DISNEYLAND Saturday Dec. 12, 1963 12 Pages Phone PR 2-1800 ners Give 1st OKs nusement Project Sheraton Plan, Orient ‘Concept’ Approved Anaheim’s city of entertainment, recreation and make-believe will get two of its biggest additions when two projects which cleared the planning commission this week are translated into reality.

Planners approved a conditional use permit for the Sheraton project, a 750-room hotel on Ball Road, just north of Disneyland, subject to ratification by the city council. The 22-story hotel, to be the third largest in Southern California, will accommodate 2,000 guests, and is scheduled for occupancy by May 1, 1966. While the hotel will be under the Sheraton Corp.'s management, both ownership and project design and coordination are local. The owners are Anaheim and Fullerton businessmen Reuben P. Huges, Claud F. Sympson, Ralph E. Harrison, James F. McWaters and David S. Collins. Adams and Associates, headed by Milton Freeman, provided design and are project coordinators. The Orient, which the planning commission "approved in concept" will be located on a 30-acre site between West and Walnut Streets on the south side of Ball Road. Los Angeles developer G. Sydney Barton presented the project to the planners, stressing that all parts of his development will conform to a central oriental theme. The entire center will be in enclosed by a "Great Wall of China". Barton reported exceptional interest on the part of prospective operators of retail establishments in the proposed center, adding that he had already set up a waiting list for lessees. While the project has received approval in concept, precise plans of layout and organization will be required before the matter can be submitted to the council, planners said.
