Anaheim, Calif., Dec. 8, 1981. Burglars Invade Anaheim Laundry Burglar invaded the Anaheim Laundry at 400 South Lemon street, early Sunday morning, and made an unsuccessful effort to get into the safe. But they carried away apparel of patrons valued at $150 to $200 which, said Manager N. Jennings, is fully insured. While A. B. Masterson was passing the laundry at 2:30 Sunday morning, he heard pounding in the place and notified the police. But when the police arrived the burglars had made their escape. Entrance to the building had been gained by prying open a rear door. The burglars left their tools behind when they fled. LOOK! What Could Be a Better GIFT?

Store and Save Good-Bye Said 148 Years Ago George Washington's Farewell to His Officers at Black Sam Frances' Tavern ON WEDNESDAY DEC. 4 When Left New York to Resign His Commission (Correspondence to The Gazette) Washington, D.C.—General Washington's last meeting with his officers took place in the back parlor of Black Sam Frances' Tavern, 148 years ago this December 4. On this day, as told by the United States George Washington Bicentennial Commission, George Washington called together for the last time the officers of the Revolutionary Army, then stationed in New York city. These were the men with whom for eight years he had punished and fought and starved in the War of Independence. It was not necessary to say farewell. Significance of Summons All realized the significance of the summons from their chief. And when they gave to his soldiers and subalterns, had entered the room they knew he had come to give them their last "orders". In month previously he had said goodbye to his soldiers and subalterns, had most of them back to their fall sloughing. But now he must take his leave of these, his veteran brother officers, who had elared with him in measure the heavy burden of command. The tavern they were meeting in had associations of its if. In the days before then began to gather in knots on street corners and to stop their buggies at cross-roads to talk of "inailenable rights" and "taxation without representation," this tavern had had for a device on its sign the head of Queen tion of eight years, years of starvation, calumny, misunderstandings, as well as of triumphant accomplishments. Last Gesture of Warewell The boat was waiting for him at the water front, ready to take him to the Jersey shore on the first lap of his journey to Annapolis to present to the Continental Congress his resignation as Commander in Chief of the Continental forces. When the final farewells had been exchanged the officers accompanied their chief to the harbor, making an aisle through the cheering and solving troops drawn up to present arms for the last time to their commander. Washington stepped into the boat followed by General Von Steuben who was to make the journey with him. Turning then, as the boat pulled off, he lifted his hat in a last gesture of farewell to the gentlemen who had served him so well. Packing House Plans for Shipping Navals Now that they have cleaned up the Valencia crop, some of the packing houses are making preparations for handling Naval oranges, among them the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Association, which makes its first shipments in about two weeks.

The first movement will be to supply the Christmas demand, but the packing will February.

Lamb., County Tax Collector Resort for "Rebels." But when Samuel Fraunces, steward, began to invite the murmurers in the streets into his back parlor to continue their talk of liberty, the name was changed to "Fraunces Tavern." Later when the Revolution broke out in earnest and "Black Sam" Fraunces was active on the Colonial side the place became more and more a resort for Rebels." This historic old house still stands at the corner of Broad and Pearl streets, and is visited annually by thousands of tourists. The room where Washington and his officers assembled, known as the "Long Room," ten days before had been the scene of an elaborate dinner in Washington's honor celebrating the evacuation of New York by the British. Candles had then blazed from the handlers, bands had played, toasts had been given and tributes paid amid loud applause. Washington Visibly Moved But this December noon the chamber was undecorated. The only sound was the clank of swords as the officers came to attention at the entrance of their Commander. In all the years of campaigning they had never seen Washington as visibly moved as he was at that moment. Without any formal preliminaries he began to speak. "With a heart full of love and gratitude I now take leave of you. I most devoutly wish that your latter days may be as prosperous as your former have been glorious and honorable." "Take Me By the Hand" And with these simple words he turned to General Knox, who happened to be standing at his side, and embraced him. "Gentlemen," he then addressed the other officers. "I cannot come to each of you to take my leave, but I shall be obliged if each of you will come and take me by the hand." They gathered around him then to shake his hand in a long, firm clasp. There was little said on either side. It is this scene that painters have depicted so often—Washington surrounded by his officers in full dress uniform, many of them almost overcome by Returned to General Knox, who happened to be standing at his side, and embraced him.
