First Father and Son Banquet Voted a Success The First Presbyterian Church was the scene of a very successful father and son banquet Monday evening when about 200 men and boys enjoyed a fine meal and much fun and fellowship. Paul Demaree talked about life as a race which all must run—a race that is run successfully only when we look "unto Jesus, the Author and Perfector of our faith." Mayor Harry Pearson introduced the speaker with amusing incidents about college life. Walter Taylor led the group in appropriate father and son songs. Arval Morris was general chairman and toastmaster. Dr. Herbert A. Johnston took honors for bringing the youngest "son" which was really his two and one-half year old grandson. It was unanimously agreed to repeat the occasion during national father and son week next year. Mr. and Mrs. Peter Larsen of Council Bluffs, Iowa, are expected to arrive tomorrow at the home of Rev. and Mrs. Earl Berg, 937 N. FRANKLIN P.-T. A. HOSTESSES TO COUNTY GROUP The P.-T. A. of the Benjamin Franklin school were hostesses to the Orange county association for Childhood Education Tuesday. Mrs. W. Bonney, president of the P.-T. A. and her committee, planned the tea which was served. Mrs. Clara Mork of the George Washington school and Mrs. Vincent Carleton of La Palma school did the serving honors. The business meeting of the association was conducted by the president, Mrs. Gertrude Winchester of Santa Ana. The program presented by Miss Amy McDermid and Miss May Nichols of the Amy May Studio of Pasadena was enthusiastically received by about 300 guests from Orange county. Many clever and original arrangements using grasses, mountain sage, autumn flowers and fruits in combination with Christmas tree glass ornaments and figures were quickly assembled. Dickel St. They will stay several days. Magician Entertains St. Michael's Sunday School Pupils Friday J. W. Brown of Yorba Linda entertained the St. Michael's Episcopal Sunday school worker and pupils with an outstanding "sleight of hand" performance at the parish hall Friday evening. In the Hallowe'en theme, the guests formed a circle and told ghost stories in the darkened room after Mr. Brown had finished his tricks. Most beautiful costumes were worn by Janet Griggs and Shirley Essary, who were awarded prizes by Gary Matoon won first prize for the funniest costume. Serving refreshments were Mr. Frank Garrett, Mrs. Earle Jackson, Mrs. Charles Vernon and Mi Marjorie Pibel, Hostess committee from the church school teachers staff.

REMAINING BOOKS ON EBELL SECTION LIST REVIEWED The following completes the lists of books reviewed by the book section of the Ebell Club at a meeting last week. Group of Books About America "Native American," by Ray Stannard Baker. An autobiographical narrative, reaching back to include his father's biography in the pioneer fringe of Wisconsin. Written with subtlety and grace, you will take pleasure in these reminiscences of the last half century. "Big Family," by Bellamy Partridge. This is the family of the Country Lawyer of a year or so ago. A whimsically nostalgic reminiscence of the life and times of the early '90's. Good for many a chuckle. "Country School Ma'am" by Della Lutes. In the same vein as the other Lutes books, "Country Kitchen" and "Home Grown." A country school in Michigan at the end of the '80's. Little incidents, the foods, the family gatherings, the neighbors play pleasantly nostalgic roles. "Reveille in Washington" by Margaret Leech. The Book of the Month Club favorite for September. An intimate and visual reconstruction of Washington in the Civil War years. A chatty, even gossipy, account of the people and happenings of that critical period; of the incredible incompetence but withal the inflexible determination and heroism of the nation's capitol in that emergency period. You will ponder on the analogies in both good and bad actions between that period and our own. Knit and Purl Shop To Celebrate Second Year in Anaheim The Knit and Purl shop at 342 West Center Street will celebrate its second year in Anaheim with a Knit Style Show next Wednesday and Thursday, November 12 and 13 from 2:30 to 4:30 in the afternoon. All ladies are cordially invited to attend the show which will feature knitted garments styled by those for whom they were made. The Knit and Purl shop is owned and operated by Miss Ida G. Easley who was connected with the Broadway Department Store's art and needle work department as instructor. During the two years Miss Easley has been in Anaheim she has offered free instructions in knitting and has taught many ladies of North Orange county how to make many desired items. Bible Class Has Hallowe'en Party The Young Adult Bible class of the Calvary Baptist church had a Hallowe'en party at the home of its teacher, R. J. Grange, at 1001 W. Broadway. During the evening, the group chose as its name, the Greek letters, Upsilon Alpha Chi, and the class colors, red and white. They also talked about the possibility of buying class pins. Fairest Coeds From The County Juvenile Colleges To Dance With Soldiers Tuesdays Officers at Camp Haan were vainly velling "tenshun" today. Group of Friends Enjoy After-Parade Hallowe’en Party About 35 friends attended after-parade Hallowe’en party given at the Reott home on Gum Road by Barbara Reo Helen Harker of Anaheim. Guests from Stanton, La Los Angeles, Fullerton and heim were present. Festive decorations in black crepe paper, black and lanterns served as a center for the party. The evening spent in dancing to the popular electric recording machine. Refreshments in buffet were served including sandwiches, cookies, apples and corn. Teachers Club Hall Dinner Meeting Anaheim Elementary School had its first dinner night of the year at La Hacienda in Santa Ana amid a very cold Mexican atmosphere. Miss Mary McPherson posed as president. A very clever woman was enacted by Miss Fields, P. S. Doane and Wiley. This was followed by a group of songs sung by Ethel Campbell and Jurey. The program chairman Adele Zorn, presented Miss Herney, an attorney from Anaheim Elementary School. Fairest Coeds From The County Juvenile Colleges To Dance With Soldiers Tuesday Some Late Fiction "The Sun is My Undoing," by Marguerite Steen. The most pretentious work of fiction in recent months. A 1176 page pageant of the 18th century slave trade days, a superbly told tale involving three generations of the Flood family and a period piece so true to its time and place that most works of actual history grow pale in comparison. "The Don Flows Home to the Sea," by Mikhail Sholokhov. A continuation and conclusion of his book, "And Quiet Flows the Don," of seven years ago. He is compared to Tolstoy by many critics and these two books are called by some the War and Peace of the present generation. This book covers the years 1918 to 1924 when the lands of the quite Don River become the very storm center of revolt against the grain gathering commissions from Moscow which ended only with the liquidation of the kulak farmers. "The Timeless Land" by Eleanor Dark, the Book of the Month Club favorite for October. A dramatic story, well told, dealing with the first five years of English settlement of Australia and of the black people whose life and culture and gaiety were so cruelly destroyed. "Hallowe'en" by Leslie Burgess: Strongly reminiscent of Rebecca of a few years ago. It tells the story of a young wife who came a stranger to her husband's ancestral home and found bitter hate awaiting her. There are beautiful descriptions of the north country, the sinister fereboding, the admirably built up suspense and, finally, the amazing events of that wild Hallowe'en night, the anniversary of the 400 year old tragedy of the Tower. A good tale for a winter evening. "Long Week-end" by Harlow Estes, is a light novel, a domestic comedy of errors, rather on the blase side. "The Venables" by Kathleen Officers at Camp Haan were vainly yelling "tenshun" today. They weren't getting it, because the army's attention was fixed on its approaching Armistice Day visit to Fullerton, where soldiers will dance with Orange County's fairest coeds, from Fullerton and Santa Ana Junior colleges. Plans for the big military ball arranged in honor of the visiting contingent from March Field for the evening of November 11, following their participation in the American Legion's annual Armistice celebration, include the college girls as dancing partners for the guests in uniform. Approval of both junior college authorities for the plan already has been granted, and the girls themselves are be volunteering without ing for conscription, acc to the sponsoring con from Fullerton Post 1423. The girl students and deans alike have welcome invitation not only as portunity for patriotic but to the morale of military, and a gesture oftesy to the county's guests but also as train future calls upon their vitality. The girls of both colleges expect to do dancing with the army new cadet training center the county airport and Field headquarters in Ana brings calls for city-organized recreation grams. ful descriptions of the north country, the sinister foresboding, the admirably built up suspense and, finally, the amazing events of that wild Hallowe'en night, the anniversary of the 400 year old tragedy of the Tower. A good tale for a winter evening. "Long Week-end" by Harlow Estes, is a light novel, a domestic comedy of errors, rather on the blase side. "The Venables" by Kathleen Norris. The story of Willie Venable and her brood. The setting in San Francisco just before and just after the earthquake. Rather a long book, replete with details of the life of the time, much of it rather grubby. "The New Hope" by Joseph and Freeman Lincoln. The usual Lincoln down east, salty atmosphere. A yarn of the Revolution. How the Yankees tricked the British and brought their venture to a happy ending should keep a mystery story addict up half the night. "Wakefields Course" by Mazo de la Roche. Another in the Jalna series which brings the saga of the Whiteoaks down to date but leaves us looking forward to the next installment. "My Friend Flicka" by Mary O'Hara. In a similar vein as "The Yearling." The story of a boy and a horse. A fine, stirring, out-of-doors book, full of wind and sun and stars, drumming hooves and burning hearts. Mrs. Frances Lowe, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lowe of 403 E. Sycamore St., returned home Wednesday from St. Joseph's hospital where she was recovering from a serious automobile accident that occurred October 26.
