Longest Show On Earth The longest running show in the world is not a Broadway musical but, of all things, the armistice talks at Panmunjom, Korea. The word "show" is used advisedly because these negotiations — the longest in history, now going into their 100th year — have become real tourist attractions. Civilians and servicemen on pass, from both North and South Korea, visit the steel corrugated hut at Panmunjom where they can look through open windows to see the long table placed exactly on the truce line. Americans on one side of the table and Communist Koreans and Chinese on the other trade stares and charges day in and day out. Actually, Panmunjom is only one scene in the longest running show of all — the one called the Human Comedy. Where Will We Put Them? Bad news or good news! It is not only our increasing numbers that we have to worry about. Its our increasing size as well. It has been reported before that Junior is generally taller than Dad. Today's GI averages an inch and a quarter taller and 20 pounds heavier than the Doughboy of World War I. It's not just a male phenomenon. Susie is also taller than her mother. Whatever the reason for this growth — nutrition or a combination of things — it shows no sign of stopping. While the population explosion has been pretty obvious, the consequences of this trend to bigness have not yet become too apparent to the general public, though the designers of bus seats, automobiles and wearing apparel have long been aware of it. As with any other kind of change, someone stands to cash in on it. Bedding makers are good candidates for this fortunate category. For years they have been campaigning for bigger beds and now report that it is paying off in sales. The old fashioned double bed is doomed, they say. In its place is the super double bed — either "queen size" or "king size." The one is six inches wider and 10 inches longer than a standard double bed; the other is no less than two feet wider and 10 inches longer. This is all well and good, but where does it end? Bigger beds or at least bigger people, require bigger houses; bigger houses require more land and lumber and other materials, and so on and on. Eventually there's going to be a squeeze somewhere. One begins to suspect that the Lilliputians were really glad to get rid of Gulliver. Bicycle Instruction Needed There is a slow but steady stream highways and city streets are as Bicycle Instruction Needed There is a slow but steady stream in this city and others of bicycle-car collisions. Fortunately, the accidents of late have resulted in bent frames and bruised elbows but they could be much worse. It would seem that in most of the collisions, the bicycle rider is primarily to blame. This situation is not remedied by the old adage that "kids will be kids." Highways and city streets are as dangerous as they are useful and they are no place for child's play. If "kids will be kids" on public thoroughfares, kids might also be statistics. It is the duty of every parent to make his child fully aware of the dangers of bicycle riding. One lapse in conduct could be one too many. Rural Flavor Wanted Lot Decrease Causes Battle By LINDA DUDLEY Staff Writer The ever-present battle tween those who would develop the hills surrounding Orange and those who charge the adjacent country should retain its rural atmosphere is raging in Orange today. Under consideration by city planners is a proposed 207-acre annexation to the City of Orange and pre zone change on property located generally north of Santiago Canyon Road (including 15.75 acres on the south side of Santiago Canyon Road), west of Windes Drive. Approximately 50 residents from the Orange Park Acres helped fill the council chambers to overflowing when the planning commission met lat night. Orange School To Study New Math School opened earlier than usual this fall for 146 Orange elementary teachers who are studying the latest developments in the "new math program" recently adopted by California educators. The four-day sessions, arranged by Owen Smith, director of elementary education, are being held at Portola Junior High School under the direction of Robert Cameron, district mathematics chairman. Cameron will co-ordinate the current program with five other monthly sessions scheduled to be held during the first semester of the coming school year. Local teachers co-operating as grade leaders in workshop sessions include Mrs. Hazel Davis, kindergarten; Mrs. Thomas, and Mrs. Shirley Leigh, first grade, all of Heim School; Mrs. Josephine Delgado, Kaella School; Mrs. Mary Bishp, La Veta School; and Miss Marlene Kozina, Jordan School, all second grade teachers; Mrs. Dorothy Brenneman, Palmyra School; and Mrs. Margie Burch, La Veta School, both representing the third grade level. Mrs. Marcella Surowic, master teacher on the administrative staff of the Orange Unified School District, supervising grade level procedures and also handling the construction por- Lagerquist Elevated by Accountants Orange Si Group Cha Establishment of closer relations between the City of Or- Approximately 50 residents from the Orange Park Acres helped fill the council chambers to overflowing when the planning commission met lat night. The Orange Park Acres Association was protesting a possible zone change which would designate some 55 acres of the annexation either R-1-8000 (single family residential with 8,000 square foot lots) or R-1-10,000 (single family residential with 10,000 square foot lots). One Acre Minimum The protestors requested that the planners allow not lots of less than one acre in size in order to retain "the rural flavor and provide an orderly blend." "We are somewhat disappointed by these maps. We would like to see a more orderly blending (of lot sizes) with no lots smaller than one acre," one area resident stated. Stan Hurt, who said his property overlooked any of the proposed changes, told the commission that they were trying to keep a rural setting. "These proposals get away from the character of the terrain. Go out and look at this land and see if this is what you want to destroy." Hurt said. His speech was interrupted several times by applause from the audience. One resident said that the smaller-than-one-acre lots would bring what the residents have tried to get away from, including noise and traffic. Population Boom Cited Acceding to Commissioner Thomas Ahsley, the county, which now has a population in excess of one million, is destined to be populated by more than five million persons. Lagerquist Elevated by Accountants Edward A. Lagerquist, Jr., who resides with his wife, Marie, and three children, at 18721 Valley Drive, Villa Park, has been elected Treasurer of the Los Angeles Chapter, National Association of Accountants.

The Old Timer "The man whose wife presents him with triplets can hardly believe his own census." Orange Grad Wins 4-Year Grant Wayland R. Minx Jr., 18, who was graduated from Orange High School last June, has been awarded a four-year scholarship by the National Merit scholarship it was announced today by Arthur C. Stewart, president of the Union Oil Company of California Foundation, which sponsors the scholarship. Minx will enter the University of California at Santa Barbara next month where he will major in French. Competition for Merit Scholarships was exceptionally keen this year. A record 700,645 students from 16,577 schools were tested by the organization. Minx's scholarship award was made on the basis of the test results, plus his high school grades and such other qualifications as leadership, citizenship, and extra-curricular activities. At Orange High, he was a member of the American Field Service Club, the Poetry Club, the French Club, and was active in dramatics. His poetry has been published in the American Poetry Society's national high school anthology. His father, Wayland R. Minx, Sr., is an analytical specialist at the Union Oil Research Center in Brea.

Developer Laws Praise From Co Town and Country developer Howard B. Lawson received a verbal "standing ovation" from the members of the Orange Planning Commission last night for his "enlightened leadership." Planners unanimously adopted a resolution commending Lawson for the extraordinary contribution he has made to the physical growth and development of the community. No Laughing Matter For Gas Dealers While the motorists jump for joy during a gasoline war, such as the one going on now in Orange, gas station owners cringe. A gas war costs the average service station owner between $50 to $75 in profit. "Seeing as we can't even pay our overhead on our gasoline margin, anyway, this makes it even rougher on us," said Gordon Sherrill, who manages a Union Station in downtown Orange. "And, if you don't go down first," Sherrill explained, "you lose even more business because the people are going where the prices are lowest." Sherrill pointed out the free service given by gasoline dealers all year long. "After all this, the people love a gas war that hurts the dealers," he said. Sherrill also said that man hours are used in additional bookwork and changing price methods. "We are very proud of our citizens, but the quartive ideals, enlightened leadship and demonstrated integity of Mr. Lawson deserve its ognition for they have exceded anyone's reasonable expretations," Commissioner Thomas Ashley remarked. The commendation came er Lawson's appearance in the council chambers to explain request for reclassification from R-3 (multiple family residency to C2-A) (general business restricted) and approval of a pep depicting the design of the commercial buildings on proerty located on the southwest corner of La Veta Avenue and Main Street.

Demand Freeway Progress SACRAMENTO (Special) — More than 30 interested civic business, and political leaders, representing route communities for the long-promised Orange Freeway, Monday carried their cause to the California Highway Commission. Headed by Dr. Stuart McComb, chairman of the Orange Freeway Action Committee, and executive dean of California State College at Fullerton the group urged immediate budgeting and early construction of the planned Route 57 freeway. Dr. McComb has called up interested local citizens to sum- Mr Lawson Wins From Commission We are very proud of our efforts, but the qualifications, enlightened leadership and demonstrated integrity of Mr. Lawson deserve reelection for they have exceeded anyone's reasonable expectations." Commissioner Thomas Rey remarked. The commendation came after Lawson's appearance in the council chambers to explain his best for reclassification from multiple family residential units (2-A) (general business related) and approval of a plan setting the design of two commercial buildings on prop-located on the southwest corner of La Veta Avenue and Street. The hearing was held over the Aug. 17 meeting so planners could discuss the proposed use with the developer, because the group questioned whether the commercial buildings and service station were "the highest and best use" for the "prime intersection." The commission unanimously approved the proposed project after Lawson explained that "there is a limit to what can be done (in high rise) at one time... we don't want to 'gut' the market with more space that we could tenant. This is a very strategic location that has tremendous possibilities in five, 10 or 15 years hence," the developer told the group. "If we retain it (the property) we will develop it to a better extent and to its highest and best use in the future. There is great merit in keeping this off the market now," Lawson continued. The proposed Orange Freeway would connect the exploding population and business areas of Orange County and Pomona Valley and, as panned, would run from San Diego Freeway to the San Bernardino Freeway, he said. "Major freeways now serving these fast-growing areas run predominately East-West," Dr. McComb pointed out. "The proposed Orange Freeway will provide an urgently needed connection between these existing traffic arteries, replacing the congested and overloaded two-lane route of Brea Canyon Road."
