Be Sure To Attend The Happy Kitchen Club THE GAZETTE IS EQUIPPED AND MANNED TO PRODUCE Fine Job Printing 259 East Center Street VOL. LXVIII Isabel Franklin Arrives Sunday To Lead Classes Cooking School Will Start Tuesday Afternoon at I. O. O. F. Hall "Can't think of a thing to serve? Then go 'window shopping' for inspiration," is the smiling suggestion of Miss Isabel Franklin, nationally known culinary expert who arrives Sunday to supervise last minute details of preparation for the Happy Kitchen cooking school being brought to Anaheim by the Gazette. "Row upon row of gaily colored fruits and vegetables; cases full of mouth-watering steaks, chops, shell-fish and other meats and fish, and other foods too numerous to mention, will suggest an infinite variety of menu possibilities, and perhaps remind you of some favorite that had been forgotten for a time," continued Miss Franklin. "And don't forget that color in the kitchen is important for inspiration, too. Who could think of anything interesting in a drab, cold kitchen?" she asks. Postal Receipts for Month, Year Show Increase That postal receipts in Anaheim for this year will exceed $50,000 was indicated today when Postmaster L. H. Hoskins reported that receipts for the first 11 months amounted to $47,082.01. This total is considerable in advance of the total for the same period during 1936 when receipts amounted to $43,623.89. An increase of more than $1,300 was recorded for November of this year over the same month of 1936. Hoskins reported. Total receipts last month were $5,326.57, compared to a total of $3,992.09 for November of last year. Anton Schulte Is Called by Death Former Anaheim Resident Summoned at Age of 93 at Son's Home Mass will be sung at St. Boniface church at 9 o'clock Saturday morning for Anton Schulte, 93, who passed away Tuesday at the home of his son, Frederick William Schulte, in Norfolk, Linda Young Men Will Hold Conference Here Next Week High School Students From Southland to Gather For Discussions Anaheim will be host next week end to approximately 400 high schoolboys, members of the Hi-Y groups throughout southern California, when the 33rd annual Older Boys conference of the Y. M. C. A. will be held here. This is the first year that the conference has been held in a city as small as Anaheim, Secretary J. B. Wilbur of the Y. M. C. A. declared. Plans for the two-day session were virtually completed at a meeting yesterday of the executive committee of Anaheim men arranging the conference. Included in the group are Wilbert Bonney, registration; the Rev. R. K. Swenerton, home entertainment; J. A. Morgan, welcome committee; Richard M. Glover, recreational program; Frank Kellogg, meeting places; J. A. Clayes and M. A. Gauer, advisers. Meeting with this group was Harold Wagner, regional program secretary for the Y.M.C.A. and Wilbur. of mouth-watering steaks, chops, shell-fish and other meats and fish, and other foods too numerous to mention, will suggest an infinite variety of menu possibilities, and perhaps remind you of some favorite that had been forgotten for a time," continued Miss Franklin. "And don't forget that color in the kitchen is important for inspiration, too. Who could think of anything interesting in a drab, colorless kitchen?" she asks. "Since the homemaker spends, according to authorities, about 70% of her working time in the kitchen, it stands to reason that the kitchen should be an attractive place to work. The whole family will benefit if Mother is happy as she goes about her duties." "Not many years ago the kitchen was the most neglected room in the house; all the other rooms were fixed up before we got around to the kitchen. But those days are gone, fortunately, and modern kitchen planning is helping to make this room the favorite family gathering place, which is as it should be." Capable instruction, entertainment, fun and a splendid assortment of prizes combine to make Miss Franklin's homemaking classes an outstanding event in Anaheim. Miss Franklin personally invites the women of Anaheim and vicinity to bring their problems to the classes, which are kept informal and most helpful. She is most anxious that her audiences feel that this is their cooking school, and that they feel free to bring their problems to her for discussion. Make your plans, now, to attend each session of the Happy Kitchen cooking school as the guest of the Gazette. Classes begin promptly at 2 o'clock on Tuesday at the I. O. O. F. hall, and continue on Wednesday and Thursday. Come early for a choice seat. Many fine prizes are to be given away during the three days of classes.

In addition, numerous smaller, but valuable gifts will be presented to the women in attendance.

One was a former business building in the 300 block on South Los Angeles street and the other was a residence in the 100 block on Philadelphia street. The building on South Los Angeles street was erected some 30 years ago by Mrs. William Koenig, one of Anaheim's Pioneers, and was known as the Adelheidt bathhouse. It was copied after a famous German institution and a graduate masseur was employed to administer the medicated baths and give massage treatments. When the state highway, El Camino Real, was completed, one of the mission bells was installed in front of the bath house with impressive ceremonies conducted by Father Dubbel. The place, however, was an expensive affair, and was not a financial success, being rather an advanced idea for the small town.

Dr. Jack Neville was program chairman. Campbell, recently returned from a business trip to the east, told of some of the experiences he had had during the trip. Most entertaining were his recollections of incidents occurring in Texas while he was driving a new hearse through the state. Hartranft told of his participation in an expedition to South America 59 years ago during which an attempt was made to build a railroad in the upper Amazon river region. He said he believes he is the only survivor of the expedition which numbered 652 men. Melvine Reeve was initiated into the club by Dr. H. A. Johnston. Services Saturday for John A.

When the state highway, El Camino Real, was completed, one of the mission bells was installed in front of the bath house with impressive ceremonies conducted by Father Dubbel. The place, however, was an expensive affair, and was not a financial success, being rather an advanced idea for the small town. It was later converted into an apartment house, but for some years has been vacant and a rather fearsome place to pass at night. It was with sincere pleasure that the neighbors saw it demolished. The residence on South Philadelphia street was constructed almost 50 years ago by the late Fred Crist when he married the former Miss Ida Witte. They made their home there for several years. Crist was an uncle of F. A. Yungbluth. In later years it became the property of Bird V. Beebe and for some time has been used as income property. John Dunn Resigns from Packinghouse John D.
