Social : and : Personal Business Women's Brilliant Ball Cornicopia turned her horn of plenty upside down at the benefit dance given by the Business and Professional Women's club, at the Knights of Pythias hall, last Thursday night. In fact, there were two horns of plenty. In royal purple and silver, both overflowing with money, which were used as stage decorations, with a large turkey, made of paper, between them. Better yet, a large quantity of fruits and vegetables, much of which had been contributed by merchants of the city, were distributed among needy families on Friday, as the club's contribution to a bountiful Thanksgiving. The whole stage presented a glorious autumn picture, with its horns of plenty, the turkey, clusters of red and purple grapes, golden pumpkins and squashes, lucious red and yellow apples. The overhead of the hall was beautiful with autumn leaves in their glorious colors. The grand march was reviewed by Priscilla and the bashful John Alden of colonial times, the characters being impersonated by Clara Faust and Prisella and Elsie Auer in the role of John Alden. Mr. and Mrs. Francis Lowry were assured of a Thanksgiving turkey, for one was awarded to them during the evening. The ball was one of the most successful social events of the season, much of the effort being that of the committee on decorations, of which Miss Lillian Lund was chairman, her assistants being Marie Cooper, Mary Alice White, Theodora Frahm, Elsie Auer, Clara Mark, Helen Diller, Mary Macres, Bessie Renner, Dorothy Kopfer and Dorothy Yungbluth. The program and music committee was headed by Miss Ruth Tauton. Aling her were Sarah Fay, Olive Schumacher and Inez Yeats. Mrs. Eva Boyd was chairman of the Mrs. Frances L. Neth, wife of Dr. G. A. Neth of Anaheim. The members are all employed in stores or in industrial plants. The club meets for supper at 6 o'clock each Tuesday evening at the Temple auditorium. Fifth and Olive streets, and the supper is followed by an entertaining program and an educational lecture. W. R. C. HOLDS MEETING The A. B. Paul chapter of the W. R.

The chapter will hold its next meeting with Mrs. Mitchell on Dec. 22. THANKSGIVING HARVEST PARTY The Service class of the Methodist Sunday school, South attended a Thanksgiving harvest party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy Curtis, last Thursday evening. The members brought cast-off apparel, which was exchanged with one another, and games were played. The home was gay in its fall flowers. Mrs. Curtis and her mother, Mrs. Benjain Hall, served refreshments. A brief business session was held during which Mrs. Sallie Clark was elected secretary to succeed Mrs. Grace Fryatt, who is to enter the Calvary church activities at Placentia. PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN MEET The women of the Presbyterian church held a thank offering service at an all-day meeting last Thursday in the church parlors. During the session a book review on "Christ Comes to the Village" was given by different memoirists in Prestbury Board Up Atlantic Co. Most Luxuries Were The products of the fair what limited in variety; were imported from far sugar, molasses, tea, coffee; Naturaligenity had no exercise in connecting paired and in devising ways preserving perishable tables were bountiful spite of all is evidenced one record which has through the decades.

The program and music committee was headed by Miss Ruth Tauton. Ading her were Sarah Fay, Olive Schumacher and Inez Yeats. Mrs. Eva Boyd was chairman of the refreshment committee while Minnie Kochler Adele Kellenberger and Kate McCullah were the committee members. Heading the ticket selling were Helen Diller, Mabel Hamler, Eva Boy and Ida Aves. Gave Up Her Home for a City Park If there is any person in Anaheim who takes pride in the City park, one of the most attractive pleasure retreats of its kind in Southern California, that person is Mrs. Bertha Comstock, for she willingly sold her home which stood on the site of the park that the children, as well as grown-ups, of the whole community might have a place to play and to hold picnics. Many of the shade trees in the park were planted by Mrs. Comstock, that her own children might have a place to play. Her children have since grown up, while the old home place has been turned into a romping place for all the children of the city. Mrs. Comstock reviewed the early history of the park at the meeting of the Garden club at the home of Mrs. Nagel on East Center street last week. Mrs. H. F. H. Schneider reported to the club on November planting and Mrs. J. E. Waters spoke on the Myrtle tree family. Extracts were read by members from their scrapbooks and group inspection of the individual books was enjoyed from the standpoint of originality of arrangement and material. A package of choice seeds was won by Mrs. Perry Mathis in a seed guessing contest. Mrs. F. Machleb assisted Mrs. Nagel with tea and cake in the late afternoon. New Director for White Temple Choir Miss Majorle Molter made her debut as director of the White Temple M.

Each member of the Mother Colony has been given the name of a hospital shut-in who is to receive a Yuletide package. Mrs. Davie Toms is chairman of the committee in charge of the Christmas plans and the names of the old people will be distributed to members at the November meeting. TURKEY DINNER SERVED The Women's Council of the Church of Christ enriched its treasury on Friday evening with a sumptuous turkey dinner which was served to 125 guests. Mrs. J. S. Swindler was chairman and Miss Dorothy Dickenson had charge of the dining room. The candy both was conducted by Mrs. D. Garlisle and girls of the Junior Missionary society, and Mrs. W. J. Melville had charge of a booth where comforts made by the council were readily sold. GIRLS' CORNER CLUB The Girls' Corner club is one of the strongest juvenile civic organizations in Los Angeles, which has grown to 8000 members since it was founded by Thanksgiving in Colonial Times Weeks spent in preparing the Festival Board Up and Down Atlantic Coast (Correspondence to The Gazette) Wash. D. C.—When the table made by the Indians from beans, peas, giving hay in the time of George Washington it meant something besides a quick trip to the grocery store, or a hurried flash to the corner delicatessen. It meant that from one end of the colonies to other households had been preparing for the events for days and weeks before and drinking were among the most lively pastimes of the period. The work of planting, garnering, preserving cays the Washington Bicentennial Commission, went on the year round. Most Laxaries Were Imported The products of the farms were somewhat limited in variety. Most luxuries were imported from foreign shores—sugar, molasses, tea, coffee, and spices. Natural ingenuity had plenty of exercise in connecting palatable dishes, and in deviling ways and means of preserving perishable foods. That the tables were bountifully supplied in spite of all is evidenced in more than one record which has come down through the decades. One Thanksgiving table in Philadelphia, according to a writer of the times, had at one sitting, "Turkey, duck, ham, clicken, beef, pig, tarts, creams, custards, jellies,ools, fools, trifles, floating islands, sweetmeats of twenty sorts, whipped allibubs, fruits, raisins, almonds, yea'r and peaches, with the usual accompaniment of beer, porter, punch, and rum." Recipes from Indians Since the earliest days in America, it had been necessary for housewives to experiment with new and strange foods, originating recipes partly borrowed from the Indians, resulting in were rolliches, head-cheese and pickled pigs' fet. They tried-out lard and niade tallow. Sugar Cut for the Day Many families secured sweetening from maple sugar and honey, although housewives of elegance always had some loaf sugar on hand for company. This was purchased in a large cone, covered with blue paper, which incidentally was carefully kept, and soaked for the indigo which was used as a dye. The ladies of the house usually performed the task of cutting the sugar for the day; a ceremony involving in some homes, a parade of silver salvers, specially made slissors, all laid out on the polished surface of the dining-room table with much fluttering about of busy femininity over this important and delicate task. So we see that while the people of Washington's time did not have the fancy food which are used today they always had more than enough to take care of their appetite. Anaheim Women at Big Trojan Welcome Mrs. Robert Hainlin and Mrs. E. C. Kendrick were among enthastic Anaheim boosters attending the gigantic civic welcome extended Wednesday morning to the victorious Trojans on their return from South Bend, Indiana, where they vanquished the three-year champion Notre Dame team by the score of 16-14. After the reception at the depot and later at the city hall, the Anaheim women were fortunate in getting places on the auditorium stage, where they witnessed the official presentation of awards, the words of praise and welcome extended by high officials of city and University of Southern California officials, and later had an opportunity of meeting some of the players. Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Monahan recently entertained their club at a dinner bridge given at a Fullerton cafe, returning to their home for cards. Prizes were awarded to Mrs. C. P. Tompkins and Lester Randall. Glories of Nature In Moving Films Three long reels of outdoor moving pictures, depicting the glories of Nature and dealing especially with game and fish, will be presented to the people of Anaheim and environs in the American Legion rooms at the city hall on the evening of Wednesday, December 2, at 7:30 o'clock. This presentation is made possible through the Southern California Council of Isak Walton League of America and is brought to Anaheim through the joint efforts of J. E. Rymer, Rev. Dr. Ralph W. Lee and Marion Henry, all of whom are active in the proposal to organize a local chapter. The general public is invited to see these wonderful pictures and to hear several important speakers tell of the aims and accomplishments of the league throughout the country, and especially in this section. There will be no charge for admission and no collection will be taken. All persons interested in outdoor life, in the preservation of natural forests and the protection of fish and game are invited. Boy and Gifl Scouts are also urged to be present. It is expected that the Legion rooms will be crowded that evening. Oil Leases Made On Citrus Groves Absolutely new "wildcat oil territory," including some of the finest citrus groves in Northern Orange county district, is to be given a thorough test with a well to be started within the next 30 days on a lease including more than 1000 acres bordering Orangheorthpe ave., from Spadra rd. west to Garden Grove rd., according to reports circulated in Fullerton says the News-Tribune. The entire leasing program has been conducted with considerable secrecy and no official information as to the identity of the concern planning to conduct the drilling program of test wells has been offered. The area includes citrus property for about a half mile on each side of Recipes from Indians Since the earliest days in America, it had been necessary for house-gives to experiment with new and strange foods, originating recipes, partly borrowed from the Indians, resulting in some of the dishes we have today. Pumpkins and squashes were native vegetables and grew wild. Indian corn, potatoes, and certain fruits were new to the colonists. In the early days in America they did not know what to do with coffee beans, and boiled them whole in water, eating the beans. Tea, for many years took precedence over coffee. Pumpkins or pompions as they were named became a simple article of diet, and was dried for winter use. Bread, pancakes, pie and puddings were made from pumpkins until the early colonists felt they never wanted to see another. They liked, however, "injun bread" linked from yellow Indian corn, and they liked the succotash, a mixture made by the Indians from beans, peas, corn and pumpkins boiled together. Potatoes although native to America, had beer, rare to New Englanders, and were probably the sweet variety, as they were in the South. As late as 1763, a farmer in New England boasted that he had raised eight bushels of potatoes in one crop, an enormous amount. It was thought that horses and cattle would die if they ate them, so they burned the surplus in the spring. Huckleberries or blueberries, blackberries, strawberries and grapes grew wild, but improved under cultivation. Orchards generously flowered and bore fruit. Pearls and quince were plentiful. Apples especially in New England, were a part of every meal. One encountered apple-slump, apple-mose, apple-crowdy apple-tarts, mess-apple pies, puff apple pies. So it is easy to see that the New Englander's reputation for having apple pie in every menu was carried at an early date. Cider was free to tramp or traveller in every New England farmhouse. No Sealed Jars As these was no hermetically sealed jars, preserves, pickles, marmalades, candied fruits and flowers, were made so rich that they could not spoil, and were kept in a stone crock, its top tied down with cloth or paper. In cooling meats, great amounts of spices were used, even perfumes, perhaps will good reason, as there was no such thing as ice for preservation; the coolest places being the collar, the spring-heeled or the bottom of the well. The cowlings potted fish and game, witnessed the official presentation of awards, the words of praise and welcome extended by high officials of city and University of Southern California officials, and later had an opportunity of meeting some of the players.

NEW AUTO PLATES READY DECEMBER 15 Application for 1932 license plates will be accepted by the Department of Motor Vehicles at Sacramento on and after Dec. 1 if sent by mail. They will be available in Anaheim on Dec. 15. This announcement was made by Russell Bevans, registrar of the department, who said his staff of workers was completing final plans for the within the next 30 days on a lease including more than 1000 acres bordering Orangethorpe ave., from Spadra rd. west to Garden Grove rd., according to reports circulated in Fullerton says the News-Tribune. The entire leasing program has been conducted with considerable secrecy and no official information as to the identity of the concern planning to conduct the drilling program of test wells has been offered. The area includes citrus property for about a half mile on each side of Orangethorpe ave., mostly between Spadra rd. and Garden Grove rd., although some acreage is reported to have been signed up west of that point. According to some oil men in this section, the area now under lease for drilling tests has been long looked upon as potential oil production territory, although strictly "wildcat" in that no tests have been made. This is the first new activity in this nature on a large scale in the Northern Orange county district in several years and is being watched by oil men as well as property owners in this section with exceptional interest. It begins to develop that those Japanese soldiers sent into Manchuria by the Jap war department were not provided with round-trip tickets. We would feel more comfortable about the wheat situation if we knew exactly how many bushels those Russians have concealed up their sleeves. A man weighing 674 pounds was acquitted in an Illinois court the other day on a charge of disorderly conduct. Probably they didn't feel like going to the expense of constructing a new and bigger cell just on his account. Three Good Reasons No Sealed Jars As there was no hermetically sealed jars, preserves, pickles, marmalades, candled fruits and flowers, were made so rich that they could not spoil, and were kept in a stone crock, its top tied down with cloth or paper. In cooling meats, great amounts of spices were used, even perfumes, perhaps with good reason, as there was no such thing as ice for preservation, the coolest places being the collar, the spring-bloom or the bottom of the well. The coccolates poffed fish and game, and salted fish and meat in strong brine. November was the busiest month of the year, as it was "killing time." Oxen, cows, swine, which had been fattened on a smoker, met their fate in the town of early morning, so that the meat would be hardened ready for the pickle. Sausages were made, some slight variation in the recipes in the different varieties being in evidence as NEW AUTO PLATES READY DECEMBER 15 Application for 1932 license plates will be accepted by the Department of Motor Vehicles at Sacramento on and after Dec. 1 if sent by mail. They will be available in Anaheim on Dec. 15. This announcement was made by Russell Devans, registrar of the department, who said his staff of workers was completing final plans for the renewal of more than 2,000,000 licenses during the next six weeks. Although counter deliveries will not open at Anaheim or any of the branch offices of the department until Dec. 15, the motorist may save himself a special trip for plates by enclosing his fee and certificate of registration in an envelope and mailing them to Sacramento. National Thanksgiving newspaper woman disclosed a fact that her new book, "The Lady of Godey's" tale, America's first woman editor, got Thanksgiving Day proclamation in 1863. Upset House Majority Michael J. Hart of Saginaw is the first Democrat elected to the House of Representatives from the Eighth District of Michigan in 32 years. Anaheim, Calif., Nov. 26, 1931 Theodore Dreiser is quoted by the New York Times as stating down in Kentucky, "I'm not a communist. They wouldn't take me." Well we always did say those communists were smart. In an effort to economize Brazil has taken 1,000 official mosquito killers from the official pay roll. Hereafter Brazilians will have to do like they do in New Jersey—swat your own. Who would ever thought the time would come when the farmers would celebrate when wheat got to sixty-five cents a bushel? General Smuts says the United States has too much gold, but so far as we are personally concerned we could use just a little more.
