DAYS OF LONG AGO Date Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1903 Memorial Day was observed in time-honored manner by the Grand Army of the Republic and the Women's Relief Corps at the cemetery on Saturday.

Corey of Year 1932 Will Be Convention Year Many Expected to Be Staged in California That Year By far the greatest convention year in California's history is the indication for 1932, according to officials of the California Tenth Olympiad Association. With the international Olympic games of that year being held in California over a period of approximately eight months, national organizations of every kind are said to be planning to hold their annual meetings where at the same time they can witness these great world competitions in athletics and the arts. Because the modern Olympiads have been held in Europe, comparatively few persons in America, it is pointed out, are aware of the extensive scope of these great games. As a matter of fact, it is emphasized, the games embrace more than one hundred departments of sports, in addition to competitions in architecture, sculpture, music, painting, literature, and other branches of the arts, the whole constituting almost a year of attractions—the same amount of time given to a world exposition. The California Olympiad of 1932 is planned to be the greatest of the modern revivals of the Olympic games of ancient Greece, first held at Athens, in 776 B.C., and is expected to be the most numerously attended. Estimates of the number of persons who probably will visit California during 1932 run into the many hundreds of thousands. The first of the modern Olympiads was held at Athens in 1896. Participants in the games are all amateurs, and no tant of professionalism or commercial profit is allowed to enter into the competitions. No money prizes are given, and only the honor of achievement rewards the victors.
