"Home of Personalized Service" 504-506 West Center Street, Anaheim Phone 3115 Dinner Party Proves To Have Romance As Its Chief Factor Romance proved to be the underlying theme of a delightful family dinner party given Sunday in the Los Angeles home of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Rhodes, and calling together a group of close relatives including Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Yungbluth, their son, Edward Yungbluth, and Hugo Strodthoff, of this city. Princials in the romance disclosed were Miss Berniece Strodthoff, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Strodthoff of Los Angeles, and Max Bergher of Long Beach who revealed their betrothal and plans for a wedding early in the new year. It was after guests were seated at the dinner table that the news became known. Place cards all reflected the bridal motif, and were inscribed with clever original verses, each one appropriate for the one for whom it was written. Mrs. Rhodes, who is a sister of Miss Strodthoff, took special interest in arranging a charming table effect for her two honor guests, using slim tapers to harmonize with the autumn hues of flowers forming the centerpiece. The two sisters are nieces of Mr. and Mrs. Yungbluth and Hugo Strodthoff. Others for whom places were indicted included the parents and sister-of the prospective bride, Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Strodthoff and Miss Geraldine Strodthoff, Los Angeles; Mr. Bergher's brother, F. Bergher and Mr. and Mrs. G. J. Strodthoff of Long Beach; Mr. and Mrs.N. T. Ulvestad and son Larry, San Marino, with the hosts and the Anaheim guests completing a happy family party. Mr. Bergher holds a responsible position with Cornwall Bankers, one of the large Los Angeles realtor firms, with which his fiancée also has been connected. They have not yet named a definite date for their wedding beyond indicating that it will take place in So. Dakotans Are To Make Winter For this, their ninth winters Southern California, Mr. and J. W.

What effect has the war on the supply fuel gas in Southern California? This winter the problem is to deliver the huge volume of gas needed in wartime—through a network of pipelines which was designed for peacetime. Like rubber, steel, aluminum and other essentials, natural gas is now an important war worker. So, until Victory, your gas company is pledged to keep essential war industry in uninterrupted production—even if this should make it necessary to ask our civilian customers to use less gas at certain times. Fortunately the reserve supply of natural gas in Southern California and our delivery facilities are the greatest known in history—fully adequate, we think, barring certain temporary emergencies (such as extreme weather conditions) to take care of work as well as civilian requirements. However, the demand for gas in this area has grown and is still growing (new population...new war production) and this brings us to the fact that the vast network of steel pipe through which gas must travel to reach war industries and your home cannot be expanded—because the steel required to do so is more vitally needed on other fronts! WHAT IS THIS LIKELY TO MEAN TO YOU? You may be asked to use less gas for household heating during certain "peak-load" periods. The manner in which you could save gas and thereby help to reduce the "peak load" in such a possible emergency is described in a "Wartime Fuel Gas Emergency Manual" which is now being prepared for mailing. Your cooperation in such an emergency will be a war service of vital importance. SOUTHERN COUNTIES GAS COMPANY GAS IS VITAL TO WAR PRODUCTION...USE IT W NO. Dakotans Arrive to Make Winter Stay For this, their ninth winter in southern California, Mr. and Mrs. W. Fabrick of Watertown, So. Oak., have selected Anaheim as their "home from home," and are peacefully established in the Colonial apartments, 149 North Lemmon street. Mr. Fabrick, who is engaged in the roofing business and is state representative for a large asphalt corporation, explained today that he and Mrs. Fabrick long ago learned to prefer California to Florida as a winter home, although they have spent three winters in Florida. They both enjoyed their automobile trip westward, finding this year's experience of passing too many military stations a new and interesting one, especially since their son, John W. Fabrick Jr., is in officers' training at Miami Beach, Fla. Mr. and Mrs. Fabrick found Sunday's services at Zion Lutheran church of special interest, since the father of the pastor, the Rev. L. E. Eifert, had confirmed Mrs. Fabrick many years ago on Wilmot, No. Dak. During their winter stay, the Fabricks plan, if gas rationing permits, to continue their hobby of shell collecting. One collection, properly mounted and classifiedook both county and state fair prizes in New Jersey, when entered by their son, then principal of Farmington, N. J. schools. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts from files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter ago. These files contain the only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 Years Ago November 22, 1917 Tuesday was almost a holiday to the meat market men of Anaheim, but it was a disappointing day to a number of their customers, because the head of the house or her substitute, the man of the house, could not go into the market, nose around showcases, and select what she or he wanted for dinner. It was meatless day, and all the shops and groceries received permeatory orders at three o'clock Monday, to make it a meatless day, regardless of the demands of the customers. The dealers, who were the losers, had no complaint to make, but some of their customers waxed exceedingly wroth and doubted the constitutionally of the order. All the shops were supplied with poultry, fish & cysters, but naturally, many shoppers yearned for beef, pork and mutton when they discovered that it was unattainable. People will perhaps realize shortly that we are at war, and government is empowered to exercise extraordinary prerogatives in time of war. Most of our people have been obeying the request to observe a meatless day. Those who have ignored it will hereafter be compelled to obey it. It is not much of a sacrifice to ask of us, but it means much to those who are struggling on the battlefields of Europe to maintain our liberties. Senator Anderson was in town some days ago appraising the estate of the late Joseph Helmsen. 50 Years Ago November 24, 1942 The levee on the Santa Ana river above the Olive bridge is being done in a very substantial manner. The levee runs three-quarters of a mile in a straight line north from the bridge. About two thousand wagon loads of brush will be required to do the work. The brush will be staked and wired down and earth thrown on top of it, making the levee four feet above the surface. The work is under the supervision of Engineer Kellogg, who contributes his work gratis. Col. Robinson is in charge of operations at the levee and S. E. Kieffer looks after the brush cutting. The island in the river near the levee, which diverts the current toward the western bank, will be cut away and a channel 1200 feet wide made for the water to flow by uninterruptedly. About a thousand dollars will be required to finish the work. As yet the subscriptions are short, and another appeal must be made to our citizens to come forward and help the work along. When completed the levee will be a permanent affair, and will effectually stop all possibility of overflows in the fture. The triumphant Democracy ratified the election of Cleveland and Stevenson on Monday evening. There were bonfires and illuminations, sky rockets and fireworks, roosters galore, a torchlight procession, anvils firing, a blaze of glory. The city was lit up with numerous torches strung along in time of war. Most of our people have been obeying the request to observe a meatless day. Those who have ignored it will hereafter be compelled to obey it. It is not much of a sacrifice to ask of us, but it means much to those who are struggling on the battlefields of Europe to maintain our liberties. Senator Anderson was in town some days ago appraising the estate of the late Joseph Helmsen. Accompanied by Mrs. Helmsen and O. T. Cailor, attorney for the estate, he has been in Imperial Valley since the first of the week, appraising property of decedent in that section. Charles Ramella's Ford which was stolen here several days ago, was found at Puente where the machine had been abandoned. The car was not injured, and Mr. Ramella was glad to get it back. Murdock Henry of Stockton arrived here Monday on a business visit. Mr. Henry has in view the setting back of his building on West Center street. In deference to the wishes of his tenant he will not begin operations until after the first of the new year. After a short visit here with relatives and friends, Mr. Henry will return to his home in the northern city. Rev. H. G. Schmelzer left the first of the week on a missionary trip through Arizona and other sections, being a representative of the Lutheran church. He expects to be absent ten days. Mrs. Will Lawrence and family of Arizona who with her daughter, Miss Mildred Lawrence and her nephew, Lawrence Mourey have been guests of her mother, Mrs. Robison for some weeks past, have taken apartments in Los Angeles to reside permanently. Mrs. William Jackson entertained the Pinochle club at the Hotel Valencia parlors last Tuesday afternoon. At the close of the game refreshments were served to the guests. Prizes were won by Mrs. F. B. Kerr, Mrs. Ralph Maass and Mrs. John Reuther. Mrs. Philura Sparks came down from Los Angeles and spent Friday and Saturday with her parents. Miss Beryl Kennedy entertain- When completed the levee will be a permanent affair, and will effectually stop all possibility of overflows in the fture. The triumphant Democracy ratified the election of Cleveland and Stevenson on Monday evening. There were bonfires and illuminations, sky rockets and fireworks, roosters galore, a torchlight procession, anvils firing, a blaze of glory. The city was lit up with numerous tar barrels strung along the streets, red fire and lanterns along the line of parade. The procession headed by the Anaheim brass band, formed at the Commercial hotel and wound up at the Opera house where a large crowd had gathered. Addresses were made by Hon. V. Montgomery, Judge Scarbrough, Dan Baker, Mit Phillips and several others. The meeting was a complete success and our Democratic friends have reason to be proud of their efforts. The Democrats are great people when they get started, and they never do things by halves. The little seven-year-old son of Jos. Backs came near drowning in the ditch on Cypress street yesterday. He was playing along the ditch and accidentally fell in, and could make no effort to save himself until he reached the pipe that crosses under Los Angeles street. Here he was rescued by some passersby. There will be a special meeting of Felicidad Parler, Native Daughters of the Golden West, at Odd Fellows Hall tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock to meet Miss May B. Wilkin of San Jose, Grand President of the order. It is desired that a full turnout of members be on hand. Miss Cora Scott entertained a number of her friends in a hospitable manner at her home in East Anaheim one evening last week. Miss Minnie Spencer gave a delightful card party at her home last Thursday evening. The San Francisco Chronicle says, sweetly: "Chrysanthemum Fairs are included among the Anaheim fads."

Mrs. Philura Sparks came down from Los Angeles and spent Friday and Saturday with her parents. Miss Beryl Kennedy entertained the junior class of the Anaheim high school at her home on South Olive street Thursday evening.

La Mont, Bud Sackett, Walter Kern and Charles Clark spent Sunday fishing in San Mateo creek. Tommy Hedges has been laid up for several days with an attack of acute indigestion. At last reports he was getting along nicely. Gerald Simpson left the first of the week for Kingman, Arizona, where he will act as assistant manager for a mining company. Mrs. Eva Boyd was in Los Angeles Monday and heard State Comptroller John Chambers make an address to Women's City club. Mr. and Mrs. H. E. W. Barnes and young son went down to San Diego Friday visiting Mr. Barnes' brother, Edgar Barnes and witnessing the big parade. C. E. Holcomb, G. M. Simpson, and Dr. Deming made a business trip to Arizona last week. Bishop Johnson of Los Angeles will preach at St. Michael's Episcopal church next Sunday. Miss Minnie Spencer gave a delightful card party at her home last Thursday evening. The San Francisco Chronicle says, sweetly: "Chrysanthemum Fairs are included among the Anaheim fads."

Fay and wife of Denver arrived in town on Monday to remain during the winter. Mr. Fay is erecting a commodious dwelling on Broadway and will one of these days take up his residence here permanently. Coroner Ey contemplates taking his departure with his family for Santa Ana where they will in future reside. Mons. Cahen appeared at his store for the first time in over a week on Monday evening on crutches. He is steadily improving in health and will soon be able to get along without them. Mr. Weisel has purchased a seventy-five light gas machine with which to fight and supply heat for his new residence on the West side which is rapidly nearing completion. Mr. Weisel will manufacture his own gas and will have in all respects a model residence. A beautiful cluster of dates of about 40 pounds of full size, were sent to the World's Fair Committee at Santa Ana, from a tree planted by F. A. Gates, who lives two and a half miles northwest of Garden Grove. It was a fine specimen of the date fruit tree. Eddie Boege is clerking at Cahen's store.
