FASHION FUNDING? With high schools facing budget woes, some state officials are questioning the national ban on using corporate logos on team uniforms (Prep Extra, V1). . . . But potential use of prep athletes as walking billboards has raised some ethical issues. Helen Upton of the National Federation of State High School Assns. says it’s one thing to advertise on a scoreboard, but “if you sell a logo on the back of a shirt, has that moved you into another area?”
SCOUT’S HONOR: Boy Scouts of America is celebrating its 80th anniversary this week, and Troop 99 in Yorba Linda knows something about Scout history. It’s the oldest Boy Scout troop on the West Coast, formed in 1916. . . . Troop members were recently treated to tales from the past by Jack McDavid and Bob Cochran, two troop members from the 1930s who still live in Yorba Linda. McDavid even gave them a 1932 troop flag.
ROLL OVER: Talk about going after big stars . . . Beethoven, the massive canine with two hit movies under his collar, will attend a preregistration Wag-a-Thon party at the Dana Point Hilton Inn on Saturday. . . . The Feb. 18 Wag-a-Thon--which already has Eddie from TV’s “Frasier” as grand marshal--is a walk to benefit the local Animal Relief Foundation. Most walkers last year brought their pets--600 dogs, two pigs and a chicken. Spokeswoman Glenda Rosen says: “It’s wonderful of Beethoven to help us.”
LESS MOBIL: Maybe you don’t think of a gasoline station as a landmark, but the Mobil station at Harbor Boulevard and Katella Avenue in Anaheim had been there almost as long as Disneyland, its neighbor. No more, though. . . . The station was bulldozed Monday by its owners, the Zaby brothers. In anticipation of some kind of Disneyland expansion, the owners hope to use the ground for part of the 225-room addition being planned to overshadow their 80-room Zaby’s Motor Lodge next door.
