December 14 will begin the "Second-Saturday Parties" series, and those wishing to attend will be given a reduction if they purchase their tickets in advance. Prices are reasonable and a good local orchestra will furnish the Let There Be Music by Mena Queale No doubt back in the dark ages as we hope it will be in the glorious future, music was the faintest lullaby that hushed strife and hallowed the place where our forefathers gathered together in a place called home. The "Song of David" is sung today in churches and referred to as a masterpiece. To the Greeks in the Iliad and Odyssey, set to music (maybe a dissonance to us today) was given the torch to carry on. The Macedonians, then the Roman warriors were next in the vast throng—concerned mostly with wars and deeds of great valor, the songs expressed blunt ant, coarse melodies. The birth of a child in Bethlehem brought another type of music—joy peace on earth!

Strength of character lies not in demanding special circumstances, but in mastering and using any that may be given. —Canon Scott Holland. The wars throughout all Europe the invasion of the Germans or Goths; the Crusaders and Knight of England; the Meistersingers in Germany—all were instrumental in bringing music to a high stat of perfection. Folk songs, guild or chorals, were the means of telling stories of the homely, simplicity of the lives bothlords and peasants—madrigals became popular means of expression. Music assumed two moods, or modes—minor, sad; major, happy. The minor key was established. To this was added rhythm creating feeling and measuring came into being.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH "God and Preserver of Man" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon on Sunday in all Churches of Christ, Scientist. The Golden Text is from Proverbs: "The Lord giveeth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. . . He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints." The Lesson-Sermon includes these verses about Jesus from Matthew: "While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples. . . And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise, He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth: And they laughed him to scorn. But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose."

ANAHEIM GAZETTE Theim Market Pictured Greater Anaheim Market Popular Service and High Quality at Low Prices Features of Large Store One of the outstanding food markets in Anaheim is the Greater Anaheim Market at 225 East Center street. The grocery and vegetable departments are owned and operated by Merritt E. Hagan, and the meat department is under the ownership and management of James Kilduff. "We would like to take this opportunity to thank the many people of Anaheim for their kind patronage and again assure them of our pledge to always furnish the best in foods at the lowest possible prices," Hagan and Kilduff declared today. Volume buying is the policy of the market, Hagan said. This policy enables the store to offer the finest quality products at unusual savings. Savings effected through an unhurried purchase by store owner are passed on to the consumer. The market features all nationally known as well as California brands. The buyer for the fruit and vegetable department spends his entire time constantly searching for the best fruits and vegetables grown. He is always aware of price raises and declines, and buys with the purpose of gaining the best at lowest possible prices. In addition, the market offers a complete line of frosted food, including fruit, vegetables and fish, giving the housewife a choice of many items she might otherwise be unable to obtain during winter. A person standing in the block on East Center street looking toward the west, 50 years ago saw the scene pictured above.

Kilduff, owner and operator of the meat department, has been at the same location for six years, coming to Anaheim from Colorado where he had been engaged in the same business for a like period of time. "Personal service and personal supervision is largely responsible for the steady growth my department has enjoyed during the years I have been in business at the present location," Kilduff said. The market handles Manning's baby beef and Puritan meats, fish and delicatessen products. Kilduff employs two full-time assistants, Irvin Wedel and John Stranske, both Anaheim men.
