Finance Campaign Approaches Quota YMCA Annual Meeting Held Friday Evening at Ebell Clubhouse M. A. Gauer, finance leader for the YMCA, announced Friday evening at the organization' annual dinner at the Ebell clubhouse that prospects are good that Anaheim will raise its fund for support of the organization. Cash donations amounting to $3,199.20 have been turned in so far, Gauer said. This sum comes from 459 subscribers, 141 less than last year. On this basis the campaign leader believes there are more persons who will assist. A "home talent" program was presented at the meeting, with the guest speaker, Dr. Carl Knopf of University of Southern California, giving an illuminating talk on relations of Christianity to stabilization of human life. Willard Adams and Joan Gust gave short talks, and Walter Taylor conducted a quiz program designed to show how the YMCA works. Vocal numbers were given by a Girl Reserve sextet composed of Ruth Armentrout, Jessie Thatcher, Virginia Ward, Kay Van Buren, Betty Schneider and Betty Wingfield. Mrs. William Cook directed. Mitchell Tucker, Rollo West, Luther Harp, Noel Sweeny, Bernard Baumbach, Roy Tina, Jim Wilson and Jack Wilson were members of a boys' group singing two selections. They were accompanied by Miss Marilyn Rogers, who also entertained with two accordian numbers. Wilbert Bonney acted as general chairman of the evening.

"The Battle of Britain is on with a vengeance but the dogged spirit of our forefathers are well to the fore and our 'knights of the air' are daily and nightly performing miracles of valour. We are indeed proud of them all." London must be having a dreadful time with the primitive beasts bombing everything and anything, but all reports prove how indomitably the dear brave people are standing up to it and our faith that God will bring us safely through is absolute. "We have been much blessed. The planes pass over our heads and we hear bombs drop in the distance on the poor towns around... can also see the flash of guns, quite 20 miles away. I lay awake at night, wondering what is happening and then hear the brutes returning after their foul work is done. "One great satisfaction is that our RAF is giving Germany a very hot time. Keeping to their fixed resolve to bomb military objectives, their object is to destroy as much war material as possible and have no bombs to waste on helpless women and children. "Everyone in Britain is so delighted and relieved at the recent helpful pacts made by the USA. It is more heartening to feel their sympathy and heartache."

The new home will be built by A. E. Hart at 845 North Pine street at a cost of $2800. Other permits were granted E. M. Kirk for addition to porch at 546 South Palm street costing $250; William Snyder for a garage costing $100 at 905 North Sabina street, and R. L. Wood for a $300 grage at 848 North Clementine street. CLUB PLANS POT LUCK Anaheim Townsend club No. 1 will serve a penny pot-luck supper Tuesday, November 19 at the club rooms at 224 East Center street. The dinner will begin at 6 o'clock in the evening, and all members are asked to bring a generous dish, excluding meat. Following the supper Ralph D. Horton will show the visual educational motion pictures. A very cordial invitation is extended to the public, announced Miss Maud Comstock, program chairman. Why we are threatened by a dangerous epidemic of homeschickness. With thousands of young men headed for military camps and foreign refugees pouring into this country, the wholesale yearning for home may bring grave mental and physical disturbances, scientists says, unless proper preventive measures are observed. Read of these recent discoveries about nostalgia, its causes, symptoms and cures, as told in The American Weekly, the magazine distributed with next week's LOS ANGELES EXAMINER.—Ady. "One great satisfaction is that our RAF is giving Germany a very hot time. Keeping to their fixed resolve to bomb military objectives, their object is to destroy as much war material as possible and have no bombs to waste on helpless women and children. "Everyone in Britain is so delighted and relieved at the recent helpful pacts made by the USA. It is more heartening to feel their sympathy and hearty backing. I have listened to so many American broadcasts relayed from Canada, all expressing whole hearted support for Britain and faith in our cause with full realization that we are fighting their battles as well as our own. The fact now seems to be slowly but surely permeating the whole of USA. Lord Hallifax never spoke a truer word than when he denounced Hitler as 'Anti-Christ.'" "I had a letter from a friend yesterday and she described a raid there when six bombs fell near The Head. A friend was working in his garden and threw himself on the ground. Later on he found a large piece of shell a few yards away, so had a narrow escape. "Other friends of ours were sheltered in their re-inforced hall (the same time as above) and a bomb fell in their garden. The blast threw them all over and a welcome diversion was caused when the small grandson picked himself up and remarked 'My goodness my Guinness!'" (Ed. note: Guinness is a drink like our beer) I must explain that this quotation refers to an advertisement for Guinness' stout which had taken his fancy; a policeman is just in time to see his glass of beer disappear down a pelican's throat and he cries "My goodness, my Guinness!"" Mary M. Poplowski Is Called by Dr. Funeral services were ceased Monday in Fullerton for Mary M. Poplowski, 51, who last Friday at the Fullertoneral hospital. Mrs. Poplowski had been a resident at a station for 14 years and lived by her husband, Poplowski, and a daughter Mary Barwick of Port Egypt. Lake To Be Dedicated Water District Officials Honor W.B.

By resolution of the Board of Directors of the Metropolitan Water District, the reservoir has been officially named Lake Mathews, in honor of the late W. B. Mathews, who at the time of his death in 1931 was General Counsel of the District. The name was given the reservoir in recognition of the great services Mr. Mathews had rendered in advancing the Boulder Dam and Colorado River Aqueduct projects and in the establishment of the District. Invitations to attend the dedication ceremony have been sent to officials of the thirteen District cities, to Supervisors and others in Los Angeles and Orange counties in which the thirteen District cities are located, and to representatives of Riverside county in which the lake is located. Others to be invited to attend the ceremony are persons who were intimately acquainted and associated with Mr. Mathews during his lifetime. Because of the limited parking space at the site of the ceremony, it will be necessary to close the area to general automobile traffic during the ceremony, it has been stated. Cars may be parked in the open area just below the reservoir headworks within walking distance of the point where the ceremony will occur, it has been announced. EAT BRITAIN NANAHEIM WOMAN "Poor Mrs. ..... had to laugh though she was in great pain from a blow on her head as the grandfather clock toppled over partly caught her. "There have been some marvelous escapes. You know of the played action bomb on Buckingham palace which fairly wrecked the wing which included their majesties' private apartments. Fortunately they were not in the residence and all the staff were in settlers. "It is truly marvelous how the tion stands up to it and the kids just have the effect of making everyone furious and more can ever determined to defeat this truly diabolic clique.

Many of his nicely laid hands have gone awry, hence the site launched on London. He was roused a veritable hornets' nest by attacking the King's home, which is as your Raymond Swings it, "a psychological error of the first magnitude." The nation blindly furious and the RAF will win new spurs. "I have no fear, only intense horror at what is going on around me, but it will pass. I have often felt why should we escape what is befallen all these other countries, but there is this difference. I feel that God is using us to save them and we may be justly proud of that." Mary M. Poplowska Is Called by Death Funeral services were conducted Monday in Fullerton for Mrs. Mary M. Poplowska, 51, who died last Friday at the Fullerton general hospital. Mrs. Poplowska had been a resident at Hansen station for 14 years and is survived by her husband, George Poplowska, and a daughter, Mrs. Mary Barwick of Port Said, Egypt. Semi-final round in the title race will be played tomorrow night with the Dons entertaining a revived San Bernardino club while Fullerton moves over to Pomona in an effort to get back in the win column. Whether Chaffey and Riverside will play their contest tomorrow or delay it until Thanksgiving day is not known to the writer at the present time. Actually, tomorrow's games will be the finales for all but the Hornets and Dons, both teams having delayed the start of conference play until a week after the other clubs opened. That San Bernardino-Santa Ana battle should be just that. The Indians, after a mediocre start that gave them a 7-6 win over Chaffey and a 6-7 loss to Pomona, battled the Hornets all over the lot before dropping another 7-6 decision. Last Friday the Braves really got their offense to moving and defeated Riverside by a 13 to 6 margin. Several scouts throughout the conference ranked San Bernardino as the second best team in the loop after their game with Fullerton. To get back to that Chaffey win over Fullerton. It was simply a matter of a running attack finally being able to smash through the Hornet's light but fighting forward wall, plus a series of misfortunes for Fullerton. Lady Luck has been smiling on the Jackets most of the year, but Friday night she forsake Coach Ed Goddard's men altogether. The Hornets went into the contest minus the services of three regulars, Tackle G. A. Wollenman, Halfback Howard Livingston, crippled with torn knee ligaments, and Quarterback Rollo McClellan, also injured, and the absence of the three was felt. Army to Receive Rights to Water Temporary Use of Santa Ana River Supply Granted by County Board The United States army may draw water from the Santa Ana river basin for a temporary supply for a proposed anti-aircraft base near March Field, it was decided by directors of the Orange County Water district, the Anaheim Union Water company and the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation company, meeting at Orange Saturday. The directors agreed "in principle" to diversion of Santa Ana river water at Riverside for supplying the Perris valley base. In return for this concession from local water interests the army must agree that such diversion will be only a temporary arrangement and that the army must seek its permanent supply from the Metropolitain Water district, Dian R. Gardner, president of the Orange County Water district, said. Gardner said MWD officials had advised him they will be able to supply the army base at a cost comparable to that for water diverted from the Santa Ana river, which must be boosted to an elevation of 600 feet at the anti-aircraft base. If the army gives its expected consent to not establish permanent right to the river water, by usage, the local boards will withdraw protests to the diversion, it was announced. Attorneys for the boards have been instructed to prepare proper agreement forms which would restrict the diversion to temporary use. Sledge and LaDitzi Meet in Title Bout Bill Sledge and Rudy LaDitzi will meet for the Orange county wrestling championship trophy and an added purse of $100 in the three-fall main event at the Orange County Athletic club next Monday night. Sledge and LaDitzi were winners of the recent elimination tournaments held at the club which qualified them to meet for the title. Tommy Nilan and Tom Zaharias will meet in another three-fall match in the semi-final bout. Ignacio Martinez and Terry McGinnis are paired in one preliminary encounter, and Vic Christy and Billy Venable will meet in the other. Rites Held Today For C. E.

Dodds and others, it was learned last week when the board of supervisors passed a resolution providing that H. L. Thompson of Riverside would be the only attorney.
