RETURNS TO AREA Hanna Plans Busy Campaign Weekend Democratic Congressman Richard T. Hanna officially kicks off his re-election campaign this weekend with a flying trip home from Washington. Hanna will play both guest and host during his brief visit. Together with Mrs. Hanna, the congressman will be the guest of honor at a gala Polynesian Party Friday evening at the Huntington Harbor Beach Club. Some 300 guests are expected to greet the Hannas at the Huntington Harbor Beach Club affair being presented in the Hannas' honor by the Friends of Dick Hanna Committee. On Saturday, the Congressman himself will be the host at the formal opening of the Hanna for Congress Headquarters, 2957 West Ball Road, Anaheim. The Headquarters opening is an Open House Party from noon until 4 p.m. Then, just to make the campaign official, Hanna will make two appearances Saturday evening in Placentia. The first is at a Block Party at 6 p.m. and the second at a cocktail party hosted by the Placentia Democratic Club at the Placentia American Legion Hall starting at 8:30 p.m. Monday, Hanna will be back in Washington as the Congress drives to wrap up its major legislative business before the opening of the Democratic National Convention on Aug. 24.

It could be you, figuratively speaking, if you follow the suggestion of talented TV and stage star Warren Stevens and use a political theme for your next social gathering. "There won't be any speeches to make in the Coliseum or the Sports Arena, and you won't have to barnstorm throughout the nation to get elected," says the popular actor. "Your only requirement will be to have fun, for this particular election will take place in your own home." Your guests are the delegates Huge Plant Detailed to Optimists H. C. Van Pelt, head of security at the mammoth Autonetics complex in Anaheim, told the Orange Optimist Club last night of what the company refers to as "Anaheim's Inner City." Van Pelt, former trouble-shooter for J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI, told of the great responsibility of protecting the 250 acre plant that houses over 25,000 employees. With his assistant, Robert Duscharme, Van Pelt showed slides of the Autonetics plant that includes an Olympic-size swimming pool, $2 million recreation center and a nine-hole golf course. Besides the routine patrol of the complex, Van Pelt and his staff, also do complete screening jobs on all job applicants, investigate employees for security clearances and protect the many volumes of classified material-kept at Autonetic. The program was arranged for the Evening club by Gene Staton, program chairman. and you are the chairman at this particular party conclave. You'll still need the right kind of planned activities, but they will be aimed at having fun, rather than gaining a stay in the White House. A main feature of your politics party could be an original and exciting board game called, appropriately, Politics. In the game, which is available in toy, variety, and department stores, a player vies to win a majority of the total electoral votes of the states, and in so doing elect himself president. You also could have your own version of "Meet the Press," with some guests acting as reporters, another as moderator, and another as Senator I. Fullofhotair. Guests can make up their own questions and the good Senator will have to come up with the answers. Some of the problems might be "The Growing Crisis in the Poppy Industry," "Should the Washington Senators (the baseball team, that is) receive Federal Aid," and "What's Happened to the Los Angeles Dodgers," although the last question may be too hot to handle. Pencil Fun You can also choose from a variety of pencil and paper entertainment ideas for additional party activities. Some suggestions are "Polling the Nation," in which each guest tries to list as many state capitals as he can, and "Slogans," where participants try to think of song and movie titles with a political connection. Banners and streamers around the room will serve as the center of your decorations. The imaginative party giver also might be able to make cardboard posters using guest's names in catchy political phrases. Food For refreshments, serve "Campaign Buttons" — round sandwiches; "Political Punch" — spiced or spiked to suit your taste; and "The White House" — a white cake for dessert. Most recently 18 college students were enrolled in groups of no less than two and no more than five in a class with an obligation in attendance three hours per week. Two receive as much as five hours of instruction per week. Sixteen to 20 grade school children received remediation per month while eight to 10 conferences were held with parents whose children were not enrolled. This number was slowed up considerably for the summer course which kept large staff of teachers and assistants busy. Therapeutic remediation is term often used in connection with learning to make time courses is an important lesson which children, college students are adults absorb at the Thompson Reading Clinic. They are taught that time can be budgeted much the same way as money and that it can be spent too that the spender gets the money for it. Helen Thompson teaches joy of self-discipline. She teaches the child, "Learning to contour yourself when you are excited hard, but you can do it." She tells the college student a adult, "In order to get some where and to be somebody you must be able to evaluate or praise your own innate (inborn capacity for learning.)" It is fitting that my own first attraction to Helen Thompson came through an awareness her own firm discipline of herself. I saw her day after dawn at a drug store luncheon coo Tea Is Interlude Preceding Deb Ball Debutantes of the Symphony Association of Orange County, who will be making their debut at the Premier Presentation Ball on Saturday, Aug. 15, at Disneyland Hotel, are in the midst of a series of parties and entertainments in their honor. One of the highlights was the Medallion Tea on Tuesday afternoon, July 28, at El Dorado Ranch, Fullerton, when Mrs. C. Stanley Chapman opened her home to the girls, their mothers and members of the Women's Committee of the Symphony Association. Mrs. Fred Beckham was chairman of the affair, at which medallions to be worn on the night of the Ball were presented to the debs by Mrs. James Baker. A Spanish dinner party, followed by dancing, was given on July 23rd, at El Adobe Restaurant in San Juan Capistrano by Dr. and Mrs. Stanley Roberts, and Messrs. and Mmes. Bernardo Yorba and Mario Mercurio, all of Fullerton. The girls, their escorts, and stags who will also be in attendance at the Ball, will attend a luau on Sunday, Aug. 2, which will begin at the Anaheim home of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Loudon and continue on at the adjoining home of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Jordan. Dr. and Mrs. Newton Copp and Mr. and Mrs. Ranald Fairbairn will join as hosts for the affair. The Robert Buchheim residence on Riviera Drive in Santa Ana will be the scene for a barbecue supper and hootenanny entertainment on Aug. 8, when co-hosts will include Dr. and Mrs. Dalton Peelle, and Messr. and Mmes. Merton D. Butler, Kenneth Reafsynder, Mifflin Thomas and Newell Vandermast. Concluding the series of pre-Ball parties will be the Rehearsal Dinner on Friday evening, Aug. 14, when Messrs. and Mmes. W. E. Martin, Ray W. Richards and Harvey Sims of La Habra will be the hosts. It is fitting that my own first attraction to Helen Thompson came through an awareness of her own firm discipline of herself. I saw her, day after day at a drug store luncheon course, noted that she ordered a hamburger patty and one pie of pie. I saw her take the grease from the meat with paper napkin blotting process I watched her eat the pie and leave the crust. You would have to meet M Thompson to know how necessary it must be for her watch her weight, since she so tiny that any excess would surely remove from her dignity upon which she frequently must depend. This matter may seem unlated to an article on a Read Clinic, but actually it is Helen Thompson has shown both instances, how to get free life what you want, and how do it most effectively. "I like pie," she says, "so have it. But I cannot have many calories, so I must promise." In her new book on "The Of Being a Successful Student" she points out that one's time his own and that he she learn to manage it. She adds that the budgeting of one's hours a week calls for individual planning. She suggests Time Chart, as a solution. "Learn to chart and manage your time," she urges. She gestures that all obligations charted in one color of ink that study hours be outlined in bold, black lines. Most Reading Difficulties Stem From Unknown, Untended Problems Editor's Note: The follow-up is the third of a four-series dealing with the difficulties taking place at the Thompson Reading Clinic Research Center at Chap-College.

This is a method through which children who have reading and learning difficulities receive special teaching and psychological help. Reading and learning difficulities, in a majority of cases, according to Mrs. Thompson, usually stem from a handicap of which parents and teachers may or may not be aware. The disability may have its source in visual or auditory perception, in eye motor coordination, in speech, in immaturity, or in other related growth and development areas. As a result, the individual finds difficulty in learning to read, write, spell or concentrate when taught by usual methods. Causes "Diagnosis is often difficult." Mrs. Thompson said. "However, the underlying cause may be in the area of emotional stress, an imbalance in organismic growth, lack of readiness to attend, and oftentimes in a physical impairment such as hearing or sight. The Clinic provides other diagnostic services, as it furnishes educational and psychological testing and evaluation by staff-team procedure. Remediation The Clinic offers individual and class instruction in all phases of reading, including speeded reaching, spelling, together with speech therapy and psychodrama. Probationary and some special college students, having deficiencies in these Mrs. Thompson stresses that no one is accepted who does not want to attend. Children or adults are sometimes accepted only for observation and/or testing. No individual of school age is accepted for any service without first having an interview session with both parents. All through the program process, she added, parents are kept regularly informed and are expected to cooperate with the planned remediation program. The Staff All teachers and therapists are fully qualified and have college degrees in education, psychology or their particular specialties. They all have had special training in the methods of educational therapy used at the Clinic and the Clinic employs a team approach. The Clinic is also served by a group of consultants in psychiatry, pediatrics, endocrinology, ophthalmology and speech therapy. Support At the present time the chief support for the Clinic comes from the founders of the Clinic. However, there are provided partial scholarships in appropriate cases whenever possible. No individual receives services without the parents assuming some financial obligation. "We find that parents show more interest and cooperation when they have a financial responsibility in the program." Mrs. Thompson said. "It is our summer Clinic season." Thompson's latest book, Art of Being a Successfuludent," came off the press paperback form; it undoubtedly will become an important not only to students but to adults who want to improve their time.

THOMPSON CLINIC TEACHES BUDGETING Self-Discipline Key to Success This is the fourth and final article in a series dealing with the Thompson Reading Clinic and Research Center at Chapman College. By LOUISE METEER Feature Editor Warning to make time count: important lesson which often, college students and a absorb at the Thompson Reading Clinic. They are taught time can be budgeted in the same way as money, that it can be spent, too, so the spender gets the most benefit. Thompson teaches the self-discipline. She tells her child, "Learning to contain self when you are excited is not but you can do it." She teaches the college student and "In order to get someone and to be somebody you can be able to evaluate or appraise your own innate (inborn) capacity for learning." Fitting that my own first action to Helen Thompson through an awareness of own firm discipline of her own I saw her, day after day, drug store counts count diagnostic services, as it furnishes educational and psychological testing and evaluation by staff-team procedure. Remediation The Clinic offers individual and class instruction in all phases of reading, including speeded reaching, spelling, together with speech therapy and psychodrama. Probationary and some special college students, having deficiencies in these areas, are required to attend the Clinic as an obligation. Referrals come from individuals who have attended the Clinic, or from schools and doctors in the surrounding communities, as well as out of state. She tells the student, "Each day, one hour is boxed in to be used for emergency study time in case it may be needed for some unexpected assignment or obligation that demands immediate attention." She also suggests at least two hours each weekend to be designated for time to be spent on book reports, term papers or other long-term assignments. Try This Slow readers, says Mrs. Thompson, often whisper, or subvocally pronounce words as they read. This takes time, slows the reader down. She suggests putting a small card between the teeth and holding it while reading, or to place the thumb on the throat as a reminder. At the Clinic a reading viewer is used for training in reading from left to right, with emphasis on the return sweep without moving the head. "The EYES must do the work," she says, and adds that eyes should receive special attention to be sure there are no defects in vision. If you are in the habit of following along across the line with your finger or a pencil," she says, "don't do it!" "Usually one does this to keep from losing one's place. If your eyes are trained properly you won't need such a crutch." In her book she goes into studies by Dr. Howard Walton in Current U.S. Economy Boom Expected to Last Until '65 Bank of America research experts have taken a look into their crystal ball and have come up with the prediction that the nation's 41 month-old "boom" will continue through at least the middle of next year. A more rapid increase in employment than in recent years, and some improvement in the unemployment rate. However, unemployment is not expected to be much below 5 percent by mid-1965, and will still be far short of the 4 per cent support for the Clinic comes from the founders of the Clinic. However, there are provided partial scholarships in appropriate cases whenever possible. No individual receives services without the parents assuming some financial obligation. "We find that parents show more interest and cooperation when they have a financial responsibility in the program," Mrs. Thompson said.

Incidentally — the "boom" is one of the longest in the nation's history. The 19-page report, prepared for internal bank use only, outlines expected developments in the economy of the nation and California, and in specific areas of the economy which reflect those developments. Highlights of the trends expected during the next 12 months include: - A continued sustained rise for California's economy, with a slight decline in the unemployment rate, more consumer spending, some decline in construction activity and another big year for agriculture. - Growth of the Gross National Product from $000 billion in the fourth quarter of 1963 to $639 billion in the last quarter of 1964, an increase of 6½ per cent. - Slower expansion during the first half of 1965, but with the economy still climbing. - Plant and equipment expenditures during 1964 to be about 12 per cent above the 1963 level. - Not much likelihood of renewed inflation, because the projected combination of increased business and consumer demand is not likely to press hard upon the capacity of the economy to produce through mid-1965. A more rapid increase in employment than in recent years, and some improvement in the unemployment rate. However, unemployment is not expected to be much below 5 per cent by mid-1965, and will still be far short of the 4 per cent level widely accepted as "full employment." Consumer spending to reach record levels during 1964. This should include a record year for auto sales, as well as increased spending on other durable goods. Continued high activity in housing construction during 1964, but new housing starts are expected to decline moderately from the highs of early 1964. Slower increase in government spending. Smaller deficits on balance of payments. Not so much danger of sharply rising interest rates as seemed likely earlier this year, although an upward pressure is expected to develop as 1964 progresses. Here and there: The spotlight will be on beauty next Monday at the general membership meeting of the Orange Chamber of Commerce. Some of the past queens of Orange and the present Miss Orange, Dorothy Epperson, will speak at the meeting. Among the past queens expected to attend is Lenore Stock who was the first Miss Orange.

Thursday: Summation of issues in the Art of Being Successful at any age. Jail Financing Report to Board An unsolicited staff report on financing the new county jail and courthouse in the downtown Santa Ana civic center is expected to be presented to county supervisors this week. Administrative Coordinator David Hitchcock and Building Director Robert Thomas decided to take the initiative and prepare the information for the board to consider because of the critical time element involved should the supervisors decide to place a bond issue on the Nov. 3 general election ballot. The report is expected to point out all the ramifications and timing of the bond issue being considered to finance the construction. The question of splitting the proposed bond issue to present the jail and courthouse construction as separate items may also be included, Hitchcock disclosed. Both Hitschcock and Thomas were members of a joint County-City Civic Center Study Committee that recommended locating the jail and courthouse in Downtown Santa Ana on Flower Street between Fourth and Eighth Streets. Supervisors also have ordered schematic drawings and cost estimates for the jail building. The closeness of the November election in addition to other factors may prompt a possible recommendation to place the bond issue before voters in a special election early in 1965. Although supervisors have given initial authorization to the downtown civic center development, no firm action or decision has been reached on the bond issue date or other possible means of financing.

These they illustrated in a series of clever cut-outs. Thus they had a fish bowl, a mouse fly, a star fish, and a power box. They demonstrated, too, the ice skate, bell hop, fruit lunch, and square dance. Part of the children's training has been to learn how to use the library. As they progressed many read from 20 to 30 books, one boy read 60 over a six-week period.

In New York City, Negro leader Martin Luther King Jr. concluded Thursday three days of talks with Mayor Robert Wagner on racial problems in the nation's largest city. King and other top Negro leaders Wednesday night called for a moratorium on racial demonstrations until after the presidential election in November. This moratorium was rejected Thursday by a number of local civil rights leaders throughout the nation. Most of the objection came from the North, particularly New York. President Johnson Thursday urged Negroes to let the ballot box and the new civil rights law solve racial problems. He said the law was passed to move the conflict from the streets to the courts, and he agreed with those who advocate voter registration in lieu of demonstration."
