There is a definite need for courses of sex education in the school curriculum; 2. The basic responsibility for sex instruction belongs in the home and in the church; therefore, courses in sex education in the schools should be supplemental and supportive.

Veteran Orange County political observers commented that nothing in Orange County has ever paralleled this sincere tribute to a man who has done so much for so many people in so many different walks of life in this area. Supervisor Phillips was presented with special commendations by the Mayors of Orange Counties cities, by the Chambers of Commerce of the cities within his district, by the connecting the early California Missions which eventually became the guide for California's fabulous highway system.

"We knew that there were many Orange County citizens who were eager to join in this special tribute to Supervisor Phil-lips for the tremendous jobs has done for our third district and we are extremely grateful to them all, in addition to wonderful response from people throughout the county who so sincere in their willingness aid in this tribute.

Peter Marshall school, 2627 Grosent Ave., Anaheim, Cali WHEN YOU LOOK INSIDE EDITORIALS, FEATURES Page 4 WOMEN'S NEWS Page 6 Show Foresight Walnut Creek Site Construction Begins Anaheim will have no water shortage in the foreseeable future. This happy statement can be attributed to the foresight shown by officials of the city almost since incorporation. Construction of the Metropolitan Water District and its aqueduct system was begun in order to receive the water from the Colorado River when water wells would be inadequate. Today the municipal water system includes more than 26 miles of transmission mains, 400 miles of pipelines, three reservoirs and 57 wells. The fixed assets total more than $17 million. Further financing was approved by the voters last year for expansion to the tune of $4.9 million in bonds. George Oelkers, director of utilities and Gus Lenain, water superintendent, surveyed the construction site of the 900-million-gallon reservoir in Walnut Creek Canyon on the Nohl Ranch and stated that when completed, the city will have Museum Schedules Festivities Orange County’s 75th Anniversary celebration slated for March 11, the Charles W. Bowers Memorial Museum will have a special exhibit for the event. Showing from March 10 through April 26, the exhibit will show newspapers, maps, photographs, documents and objects that are related to the actual partition of Orange County from Los Angeles County. Included is the first map of Orange County surveyed by Col. S. H. Finley. He was the first surveyor for the county. The map details the owners for many of the land holdings. Some proposed subdivisions are shown — all of which did not reach fulfillment. Photos of leading county personalities who led the struggle for Orange County and led it in its initial days are to be shown. Newspapers of the day show that separation from Los Angeles County was not unanimous and was a real struggle. Also to be shown is the surveyors transit used by Judge Richard Egan of San Juan Capistrano who was one of the surveyors employed to establish approved by the voters last year for expansion to the tune of $4.9 million in bonds. George Oelkers, director of utilities and Gus Lenain, water superintendent, surveyed the construction site of the 900-million-gallon reservoir in Walnut Creek Canyon on the Nohl Ranch and stated that when completed, the city will have more than 970 million gallons of storage capacity or an emergency supply for 30 to 60 days. Tell Specifications The reservoir will have a surface area of 50 acres and will be 110 feet deep. The crest of the earth-filled dam will be 800 feet wide. A $500,000 filtration plant will be constructed to process the water. The officials maintained there would be no danger of a Baldwin Hills-like disaster. Only two minor faults north of the reservoir site were found. A warning system will be installed in the reservoir to check any excess seepage or earth movement. An emergency bypass structure will be constructed so that the reservoir can be emptied in case of emergency or contamination. A 36-inch pipe will allow it to be emptied at the rate of 90,000 gallons a minute. The reservoir and filtration plant are expected to be completed in 1965. First County Trailer Show Scheduled Orange County’s first “trailer Life” Show of 1964, a major exhibit of deluxe mobile homes and travel trailers, will open Thursday, March 5, at the Broadway Shopping Center in Anaheim. Free to the public, the four-day showing will display approximately $200,000 worth of ANI, New Telephone Service Introduced Early next Sunday morning (March 8), Pacific Telephone will introduce a convenient new service for some 18,000 telephone users in Anaheim and Cypress. That is the effective date for "Automatic Number Identification" (ANI) for local customers with telephone numbers with the prefixes 527, 533, and 535. About 40 per cent of Anaheim telephones have those prefixes. They already have been notified of the change. ANI is simply new equipment which works behind the scenes on long distance calls dialed direct by customers. Starting on Sunday, an operator no longer will ask for the number of the telephone the caller is using. The number will be recorded on perforated tape—a process called "automatci message accounting." Operators now performing the function will be reassigned to other duties. “There will be no change in rates or in the method of dialing.” District Manager Howard Heth pointed out. “These customers will continue to dial '112' on long distance calls, for access to the nationwide dialing network.” He added that Anaheim-Cypress telephone users dial direct 35,000 long distance calls daily. The changeover affects only one and two-party services.
