GIBBS LUMBER CO. VFW Orchestra Has Final Rehearsal Music played last night when the orchestra of Anaheim Post No. 3173 VFW held its rehearsal, was all tinged with a note of sadness. For it was the last orchestra rehearsal for the duration, since the leader, L. Stanisewski has enlisted in the Coast Guard. Lack of a leader coupled with the gas rationing, decided the members to disband, although they will form the orchestra again in that happy period when the war is won. As a finale to the practice, Mrs. Ray Snyder invited the group to her home in Santa Ana, where she had prepared enjoyable refreshments as a farewell courtesy to Director Stanisewski. Members present included with the leader, Messrs Robert Moreno, Bruce Snyder, Jean Young, Ronald Young, Kenneth Young, the Misses Sonia Haas, Rose Dominguea, Mesdames L. Haas, G. Dominguez, E. Young, and the hostess, Mrs. Snyder. BUY VICTORY BONDS AND WAR STAMPS!

Ebell Women Complete Preparations For Gala Holiday Bazaar Which Opens Tomorrow in Clubhouse There is a flurry of preparation this afternoon at the Ebell clubhouse, where a bevy of committee chairmen and their co-workers are completing decorative arrangements and all the last minute details in readiness for the annual Christmas bazaar to be held tomorrow all day. One of the duties of the group is to receive the generous donations which all Ebell members are making to the array of desirable articles to be on sale tomorrow in the attractively decorated booths. There will be five of these main booths, each devoted to its own particular type of gifts. While the entire decorative effect will conform to the dominant Christmas theme, each booth hostess may use her own original ideas in applying the theme to the nature of the articles on display in her particular booth. These booths will be varied in nature. Mrs. Charles Hunt, aided by a committee of five, will offer books for the approval of Christmas buyers. Each booth hostess will have a similar group assisting her. In the case of Mrs. H. J. Fackiner's display, bazaar patrons will find the most tempting of home prepared foods available. Needlework in wide variety will be in charge of Mrs. Albert L. Raymond, and patrons will be able to supply many of their Christmas gift needs. Sharing the general interest will be the always-popular white elephant booth where Mrs. Llewellyn Wilson will be in charge, and an unusually interesting booth devoted to plants, bulbs and flowers. Mrs. J. S. Van Waggoner and her co-workers have been working tirelessly to achieve these garden specials, will fascinate amateur and hobbyist gardeners. Proceeds from the sale of various articles will be taken over to the club's Ways and Committee for the general funds. Doors will open to the promptly at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and will remain open day long.

Southern Pacific is facing a critical situation in connection with holiday travel. Many thousands of men in uniform are being given holiday furloughs. We think everyone agrees that these men should be given first consideration. We intend to carry them wherever they wish to go. Where men in uniform are not going on furlough they will be visited, in many cases, by their parents or wives. Their travel requirements must be recognized, too. The tide of war traffic — troops, equipment, supplies and war materials — is mounting higher and higher, and we are hard pressed to supply the equipment to move it. Every locomotive we have or can rent is being used. The supply of passenger-carrying cars left for civilian use is naturally reduced. Consequently, we will not be able to carry all the people who want to make holiday trips, despite all our efforts to increase the passenger-carrying capacity of our trains. This is why we ask you not to travel during the holiday season. S·P The Friendly Southern Pacific IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts from files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter ago.

Mr. Hynes, the general freight agent of the Santa Fe company in Los Angeles, says that while his estimates do not quite reach that figure, it is probable that the total will not be much if any under that amount. Last season's crop was 3,500 cars, but fully 1,500 carloads were destroyed by the frost and high winds which prevailed in the San Bernardino and San Gabriel valleys, and which played havoc in those localities in the early part of the season. The quality of the fruit this year is pronounced very high, and there is every indication that the market will be good as regards price and demand.
