Enrollment Up Throughout City Schools Additional verification that school attendance here is mounting at an all-time rate was evidenced today in the first 1964-65 enrollment report released by Donald M. Smith, attendance officer for the Orange Unified School District. Enrollment in the district during the first month of classes this fall reached 20,351 students, by far the largest ever recorded here, Smith said. "In October, 1962, local schools had only 13,767 students attending classes," the attendance officer reported, "and last year the overall total had increased to 17,348. It all means that the Orange District now lacks but 299 students of having a 50 per cent increase in the two-year period. We are evidently rapidly approaching the day when the community will not be able to build school rooms fast enough to keep pace with the population increase." Reported enrollments in each of the 14 elementary schools of the Orange area were as follows: California School, 769; Cambridge, 717; Esplanade, 1050; Handy, 972; Heim, 829; Jordan, 817; Katella, 564; Killefer, 392; Lampson, 740; La Veta, 1213; Olive, 607; Palmyra, 727; Serano, 588; Silverado, 121; Sycamore, 683; Taft, 796; Villa Park, 538, and West Orange School, 429. The overall total for the elementary area is presently 12,-552, Smith said. Junior high schools in the Orange District show the following attendance totals: McPherson Dropout School Rated 'Great Help' At Meet Former students of the county's experimental summer guidance program for high school dropouts, which was held in Orange, met again yesterday to discuss the effects. The students, all of whom completed the six-week course sponsored by the County Superintendent of Schools office, were called back, along with counselors and teachers from the school, to talk to school administrators, teachers and officials from all parts of the county. The students, in discussing the school, revealed that they felt the program was a great help to them. At the same time several uncomplimentary points were made against regular school. One student, a Mexican-American, said he had spent most of his high school career in remedial classes and had lost interest and quit. Testing during the summer program, however, showed he had a high IQ. "In regular school, I couldn't even use big words because the teachers always told me the other students couldn't understand them and I'd disrupt their teaching methods. In the summer school, I could say anything I wanted and it was not only accepted but sometimes printed in the school paper," he said. Another student, who admittedly has remedial reading problems, said his first experience upon returning to school this fall was to be sent home even had a "Baby Day" to take or five married mothers tending. One of the school instructors Jim Henderson of Fullerton Junior College, said the program also served as an aid to teachers by putting them into contact with counselors. But, he added: "Unfortunately, this close relationship is hard to accomplish in a big school no matter how desirable it is." Hickman said the school used a creative analysis approach teaching to make the student think logically. County Water Situation Is Given Boost Orange County's water look was brightened yesterdays when the State Water Board informed the district about the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Co. that they will be permitted to salvage 6,000 acre-feet of Santa Ana River water annually above Prado Dam. The Orange County Water District has been involved in struggle with upstream agencies over rights to the river water since 1951. The decision capped efforts launched by two Orange County agencies in June of 1962. Tustin Council Approves Fair The Tustin City Council has officially backed a plan to bring the 1968 World's Fair to an Orange County site. The council last night voted to urge the County Board of Supervisors to back the proposal. Tustin is the latest city in the county to support the move. Last week, the Orange City Council backed the proposal. Other cities favoring the plan are Garden Grove, Anaheim, Seal Beach, Placentia, Cypress and Stanton. Members of the Board of Supervisors have voiced opposition to the plan because the fear the county would be straddled with financial obligations if the fair turned out to be a failure. Family Fun Fair Planned By LDS The First Annual Family Fun Fair, a building fund project of The Anaheim Second Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, is scheduled from Nov. 4 through 7 at Lincoln and East Streets, Anaheim.

GI Loan Ruling Affects Korean Conflict Vets Korean Conflict veterans with short periods of wartime service will be first to lose their GI loan entitlement starting Jan. 31, 1965, Mort Webster, Manager of VA's Southern California Regional Office said today. Up until that date, all Korean Conflict veterans are eligible to secure a VA guaranteed loan to buy a home or a farm or to enter into business. After that date, entitlement will end each day for individual veterans according to a formula established by Congress in 1961. The formula, except for those veterans discharged for service-connected disabilities, makes the veteran's GI loan eligibility dependent on his length of service and his date of discharge. The formula adds 10 years to the date of the veteran's actual discharge from wartime service and adds one additional year for each 90-day period of that service.

COUNTY WATER EQUATION IS GIVEN BOOST Orange County's water outflow was brightened yesterday the State Water Rights and informed the district and Santa Ana Valley Irrigation that they will be permitted allevage 6,000 acre-feet of Ana River water annually in Prado Dam. The Orange County Water dict has been involved in a angle with upstream agenover rights to the river since 1951. The decision capped efforts hed by two Orange County cities in June of 1962. One Record Employment Noted in County More people than ever before are employed in Orange County with a record 325,400 figure, according to the first Orange County Labor Market Bulletin released today. The largest number of people, 93,400, are employed by manufacturing concerns, the report says. 16,400 Orange Countians are unemployed. The figure represents 4.8 per cent of the work force, which is the second lowest figure this year. The bulletin is the first published labor market data for Orange County following its official designation as a separate Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area. In the past, county date has been included as part of the combined Los Angeles - Long Beach - Orange County series. The bulletin will be issued monthly, hereafter, by the California Employment Service. Total employment in Orange County rose from just over 150,000 in 1958 to 325,400 by September 1964. This represents a net gain of about 122 per cent in six years, which compares favorably with the 84 per cent increase in population for the same period. The comparatively greater rate of job growth indicates that the proportion of workers both residing and working within the county is greater now than was the case in 1958. Non-Farm Jobs Double Non-farm jobs, other than factory, have nearly doubled, rising from 112,000 to 223,000, while factory work forces are up to 93,400 in the latest month for a 172 per cent increase. The withdrawal of young job seekers from the labor market helped reduce unemployment during September to 16,400 for a drop of 1,200 since August. The Labor Market Bulletin contains an analysis of Orange County employment for the month prior to publication and describes major changes that have occurred over the period and over the year fluctuations in job levels by industry division. Each issue also contains a discussion of anticipated changes in the work force over a short-term span. A table also shows employment by major industrial division for the current month-ago, and year-ago months. Villa High 'Festival' Coming Up Orange's recently opened Villa Park High School will inaugurate the first of many traditions when the school holds "Fall Festival" next Thursday and Friday. George Osborn, director of student activities, said the fall gala event will be held in place of homecoming as this is the school's first year of operation. "We expect that this will become a tradition at Villa Park instead of the usual homecoming game and dance," Osborn continued. Highlight of the halftime festival game will be the crowing of "Fall Festival'". Gus Grissom's Readying For 'Apollo' Shoot BALTIMORE (UPI) — W.I. (Gus) Grissom is "bereed." The 150-pound, 38-year-old Force major is slated for next year to pilot the two-manned flight of America's two-seater Gemini spacecraft. Beside him as co-lilot, if he ent plans hold, will be Cmdr. John W. Young, an age-old Navy flier. For the United States it is an historic event, but being of a new chapter in spartan flight leading up to the A project to put men on moon. Wednesday at the Martins here Grissom and Young spected the Titan-2 rover which was built to boost into orbit. They found it go As Grissom said, "Titan 'go.'" Program Progressing Officials of the National Airnautics and Space Administration (NASA) assured report at the inspection that the Oini program is moving fast and everything looks good for a successful kickoff in early months of 1965. So why is Gus Grissom "bothered"? Any spaceflight of course, a dangerous undertaking. But Gus is used to bigger, and it was obvious that has complete confidence in spacecraft and rocket. Grissom and Young are well known as the "prince crew. Training with them as backup crew are astonished Walter M. Schirra Jr. Thomas P. Stafford. If anyht happens to Gus and John... Informed district and Santa Ana Valley Irrigation that they will be permitted allevage 6,000 acre-feet of Ana River water annually in Prado Dam. Orange County Water District has been involved in a single with upstream agenover rights to the river since 1951. Decision capped efforts by two Orange Counties in June of 1962. One forty owner in Orange Councled the San Bernardino Val-municipal Water District mostly opposed the applica-tion Toups, assistant secre-menter of OCWD, said call for the removing of vegetation from approx-ly 4,400 acres in the Prado basin and preventing its growth. Said approximately 6,000 feet of water each year is used through its consumption on plants. Said the growth can be mitigated by buldozing or by using with a plant-killing chemical. We will attempt to lower water table in this fashion," said, "and permit the aged water to seep into per-fer pipelines some 10 to 15 below the surface of the land. The water will be taken high Prado Dam through a surface pipe line owned by Orange County Flood Con-strict." Said OCWD will use its salvaged water for enrichment of the under-der basin. Non-farm jobs Double Non-farm jobs, other than factory, have nearly doubled, rising from 112,000 to 223,000 while factory work forces are up to 93,400 in the latest month for a 172 per cent increase since 1958. Over three of every 10 employees are now engaged in manufacturing activities, compared to 22.4 per cent six years earlier. The average number of workers employed on farms has remained fairly constant throughout the years at the 7,000 level. Currently the report states, employment rose from 2,300 from August, and was up 24,700 over last year. The re-opening of public schools was largely responsible for the August to September increase of 2,900 in government employment. Stepped up hiring by producers of food products, furniture, plastics, sporting goods, and musical instruments boosted factory work forces by 600. A counter trend, however, was reported by electronic firms, in which employment has been declining steadily all year. The loss of the past month amounted to 100, to bring the net decline in the electrical machinery group to 2,400 since January. Seasonal reductions in trade and services followed the normal pattern for the period. Battlers Joe Bob Powell, 28, of 1201 E. Bouy St., and his brother were arrested on a charge of fighting by Orange Police on Sunday. Jack Dean Powell, 20 14613 Wheatstove, Norwalk said his brother and he were arguing when the fight started. "Jack wanted to fight, so I fought him," Joe Powell said. Both were taken to Orange County Jail after they refused to stop fighting when the officer ordered them to cease. So why is Gus Grissom "bothered"? Any spaceflight of course, a dangerous un-taking. But Gus is used to anger, and it was obvious that has complete confidence in spacecraft and rocket. Grissom and Young are known as the "pri-crew. Training with them and backup crew are astronaut Walter M. Schirra Jr. Thomas P. Stafford. If anyt happens to Gus and John tween now and next February or March, Wally and Tom be ready to take their place. One crew is as fit and re-as the other. They work gether as a four-man team. But everywhere they go, and John get the spot while Wally and Tom "back" and look on. This strikes Gus Grissom unfair, and it explains why "bothered." If there is con-tition among America's am-nuts, it bearsHitler semblance to another sort competition which becom manifest in a different walt life every four years when technicians fight for the right to lot a nation. So at a news conference terday, Gus Grissom m-chided the reporters and photographers for paying r attention to him and Y-then to Schirra and Staff This bothers him, he said. eVERYTHING DRIED FOR 2¢ a RIDE! 2¢ DRIES A HEAP OF TOWELS—OR ANY WASH—and isn't it nice, a Gas Dryer costs less to install in the first place?

Kent said that efforts would be made to present other similar programs from time-to-time to acquaint the public with Australia and the sister city of Orange, South Wales. Aside from many colored slides depicting his various travels, Davidson screened a series of views provided by Edith Robinson, who rushed the special slides from Orange, Australia, for the special showing. "She was so anxious to cooperate with the local project that I received her slides on Orange in just nine days after forwarding the request," Davidson told his audience. "Considering the great d'istance involved in the round-trip, this must be some kind of a record." Starting with the city of Sydney, Davidson escorted his viewers across the "bush larks of Australia, to the apple country, harbors and beaches, and through the metropolitan life of its cities. He also told of the animal life he found in the vast open spaces. "The term 'bush' describes the country the best," he said, "as it includes the mountains, the valleys, and the hills, all of which are beautiful and very meaningful to residents there." The city of Orange is located some 185 miles west of Sydney on the west side of the Continental Divide. In describing the flat, low country-side, Davidson explained that a traveler could proceed for more than 2,000 miles on level terrain.

Our business is the betterment of people. The usual "share the wealth" schemes turn out to be miserable failures. But there's one plan that works. Our plan. It helps create prosperity—and some of it rubs off on everyone. Last year, for example, the equivalent of a small city of new homes and apartments was built with $144,000,000 in financing provided by California Federal Savings Association. (That was only the amount loaned for new construction. Our 1963 mortgage lending total exceeded $335,818,000!) These funds gave full-time work and paychecks to 11,000 building and allied industry workers, and to 12,500 other people in businesses and services where construction wages were spent. In addition, this prosperity was shared by 412,000 savers who received $37,000,000 in dividends from their California Federal savings accounts. Directly or indirectly, you shared the good times California Federal helped generate, too. That's why we say the betterment of people is our business. And it's a billion-dollar business.
