THE GAZETTE IS EQUIPPED AND MANNED TO PRODUCE Fine Job Printing 259 East Center Street VOL. LXVIII Many Old Timers Return To Anaheim for Reunion Pioneer Picnic Held at City Park Last Saturday One of Most Successful in 12-Year History of Event The Anaheim Pioneer picnic, held in the city park on Saturday, was attended by about 125 descendants of Pioneers and other old timers. There are none of the original Colonists left but each year sees a larger number of their descendants and old time residents present. This picnic, which has become an Anaheim institution, is unique and everything possible is being done to attract old timers and keep alive the memory of early days in the Mother Colony. By noon nearly all had assembled and with Fayette Lewis as master of ceremonies, a post he has held since the gathering was first instituted, the festivities began. L. E. Miller asked grace and the banquet was on. Bob Mills made the coffee, and, of course, it was good. Cream and sugar also were supplied by a number of ladies at the head of whom were Mrs. Arthur Lewis, Miss Frances Backs and Mrs. Emma Jackson. There was no set program. The afternoon was largely given over to visiting and meeting old friends. Fayette Lewis, in his usual happy manner, addressed the assemblage. He said that twelve years ago The Mother Colony Chapter Daughters Expert Explains Details of Radio Plan to Council Board Delays Action On New Traffic Signals Here; Miss Williams Ill W. E. Whiteman, chief radio technician for Orange county, explained in detail equipment needed, method of operation and a close approximation of the cost of installation of a two-way radio for the city, at the council meeting Tuesday night. Permits were granted last night by the Federal Communications commission for the establishment of three such stations. Cost of installation was estimated to be between $450 and $500. Whiteman would be in direct charge of construction and installation of the sets, which would include receiving and sending equipment in each of the city's police cars. The council took no definite action at the meeting. Likewise, no definite decision was reached regarding the type of traffic signals to be installed at the intersection of Center and Los Angeles streets. Vard W. Hannum, superintendent of the light and water department, has not completed his survey as to types and the banquet was on. Bob Mills made the coffee, and, of course, it was good. Cream and sugar also were supplied by a number of ladies at the head of whom were Mrs. Arthur Lewis, Miss Frances Backs and Mrs. Emma Jackson. There was no set program. The afternoon was largely given over to visiting and meeting old friends. Fayette Lewis, in his usual happy manner, addressed the assemblage. He said that twelve years ago The Mother Colony Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution conceived the idea of the annual reunion and picnic and had ever since been sponsors of the event. This year a number of members of pioneer families felt it proper that these ladies, having inaugurated and successfully launched the enterprise should now be relieved of the duties necessary to its continuance and had undertaken to carry on. Mr. Lewis spoke feelingly of the departed loved ones who spent their lives laboring to make this former desert spot to blossom as the rose and are even now present when we meet to honor them and keep green their memory. As usual at these gatherings all bowed in silk.

"America would be just as safe now in the hands of these students as in the hands of the republicans and democrats," the speaker told the capacity audience. "They would probably get just as much done. They would be most sincere and unselfish in the government." Dr. Smith touched on communism, fascism and dictatorship, declaring he did not agree with these forms of government, but that much could be learned from them. He is more concerned with the growing tendency to "mass thinking" in this country. Individuality was urged by the speaker. One of the greatest needs of the nation today is for the individual to come up from the masses to assert himself. "One man can provide a market for the best," Dr. Smith declared. An inspiring valedictory address was given by Marcella Sutton. She urged that parents have more tolerance and respect for the children and aid them in attaining their life's goal.

The biggest opportunities for youth of today are to put to the best uses possible the many advantages available to them. Most of the advantages also carry a harmful and destructive side, the pastor warned, and the good features must be made to over shadow the bad.
