LOS ANGELES ST. 800 N Educational TV Drive Started by Schools in Orange County A educational television channel for Orange County would be joined by the Orange UniSchool District, said Dist. Harold V. Kibby today. County education leaders agreed at a meeting Thursday petitioning the Federal Commution Commission for the channel this spring. The channel would supplement closed-circuit instruction television programs which some schools districts now are offering. TV Offerings Would Expand Orange Unified's TV instructional offerings are not extensive now, Kibby said, but would be expanded if a county channel were obtained. The district currently makes some use of Channel 13, Kibby added. Rep. Richard T. Hanna (D-Fullerton) told a gathering of educators Thursday that the time is ripe for a successful educational TV bid to the FCC. But he said a united front by county officials is important. Hanna said he would work with Rep. James B. Utt (R-Tuston) and the state's two U. S. senators in an attempt to secure FCC approval for the channel. Committee Representatives The committee to pursue the application will include one representative each from the county board of supervisors, county board of education, elementary districts, high school districts, junior colleges, state education institutions, parochial and private schools and industry and business. County School Supt. Frank Grunenfelder said even if the channel were approved, it probably would not be in operation for several years. But an application must be made now for an FCC allocation he said. Decisions on financial support and programming will come later, Grunenfelder said.

Edison is joining San Diego Gas and Electric Co. in the venture. The board's decision could be effective as early as Feb. 29, said Edison President Jack K. Horton. But it could be delayed by further review by the AEC. Other approvals, including that of the California Public Utilities Commission, are needed before plant construction could begin, Horton said. The AEC board's decision follows stormy hearings last November in Santa Ana. The two electric companies plan to build the $82 million station — about twice the size of any U.S. atomic plant now in existence — on a site near the northwest corner of the Camp Pendleton Marine base south of San Clemente.

Rotary to Celebrate 59th Anniversary This week the Rotary Club of Anaheim will observe the 59th anniversary of the founding of Rotary, world-wide service organization of business and professional men. In announcing the anniversary meeting, H. W. Bridgeford, president of the local Rotary club, described the global scope of the observance, saying, "Rotary clubs are functioning in 11,600 communities in 125 counties and in some way each will mark this milestone. Tributes will be paid to Rotary's founder, Paul P. Harris, a Chicago lawyer, in many languages since the 544,000 Rotarians in the world speak about 35 different tongues." The Rotary Club of Anaheim comprises 102 business and professional men of this community who meet once a week for fellowship and to plan their program of service activities. The activities of the club include the sponsoring of four Scout troops, Roto-Hi clubs and recent donations of funds and labor for an addition to the Y.M.C.A. building. Under the leadership of Carl P. Miller, of Los Angeles president of Rotary International, Rotary clubs everywhere are aimed at intensifying their efforts to further friendly relations among the people of different nations. The core of the program has been the matching of Rotary districts in different parts of the world as a means of encouraging clubs and Rotarians in linked districts to create and maintain relationships through exchanges of all kinds, including personal visits. The Anaheim Rotary Club is paired with the Rotary Club, East Pretoria, Africa, in the North Transvaal District. Club members are encouraged to develop correspondence with East Pretoria members of their same professional classification. 'Grass-Roots Campaign' Planned by John Schmitz John Schmitz, Tustin conservative, plans a "grassroots" campaign for the State Senate post being vacated this year by retiring John Murdy Jr. Schmitz, 33-year-old county chairman of the California Republican Assembly, is a philosophy and political science instructor at Santa Ana College. In lieu of a heavy war chest, Schmitz says he hopes to win through workers ringing doorbells and word-of-mouth recommendations. A major in the Marine Reserves, Schmitz considers "big government" the number one problem facing California. An opponent of the Rumford Act, Schmitz says the stand backing the legislation by Bruce Sumner, generally considered the Republican front-runner for the State Senate post, "could sink Sumner to fourth place." Schmitz Thursday received the support of a former candidate, Lester M. Andrew, 71st Assembly District chairman of the United Republicans of California. Andrew announced he was withdrawing from the race and would "encourage my supporters to expend every effort toward the election of John Schmitz."
