Assistance League Tea and Review Draws Large Crowd A warm welcome was given Mrs. Horance Benjamin of San Diego, formerly of Anaheim, by friends and former neighbors last Thursday afternoon when she returned here to present a book review for the Red Cross benefit tea that was given by the Assistance League at the Ebell clubhouse and attended by more than 250 guests. Acclaimed as an outstanding book reviewer Mrs. Benjamin gave a vivid presentation of "Young Lady Randolph" by Richard Krause, a biography of Winston Churchill's mother, Jenny Jerome Randolph. Sharing the afternoon's honors was Mrs. Florence Newkirk of Anaheim who preceded her on the program with a half hour musical program of piano solos that included an opening number by Bach followed by a Lizst Etude in B Flat, three selections by Tinto, "Swan Song" by Bizet and "Rain in the Garden." Winston Churchill's mother American born, the daughter of Leonard and Clarisa Jerome of New York, but at 17 young Jenny and her two sisters went to Europe with their mother. In Paris, at an embassy dance, "the world first lay at Jenny's feet" and from then on she led a brilliant social life and claimed royalty and the outstanding notables of the day as her close friends. Widely travelled and an accomplished hostess Jenny later became the wife of Lord Randolph Churchill, a second son, and the devoted mother of two sons. Though Jenny's life was filled with many social triumphs she always had an underlying serious desire to help in promotion of friendship between her native land and her adopted land of England and when she became a widow at 40 she withdrew from social life and started an exclusive magazine that was devoted to this purpose. The magazine was not a financial success and Jenny then turned her attention to raising funds to equip an American hospital ship to aid the British in Carol Ann Barnett, Dianne Cash, Barbara Gaines, Barbara Horn, Dorothy Jean Kuchel, Betty Lou Lane, Theo Joan Monder, Barbara Ann Ryan, Ducetta Martin, Patricia McKee, Gall Hubert, and Shirley Ranker.

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 March 27, 1919 A $100,000 company has been organized in Santa Ana for the purpose of drilling for oil in the territory that has been made live all territory by the bringing in of the 4000-barrel a day well on the C. Chapman property east of Placentia: The well is to be drilled a quarter of a mile north of the Orba school house. This property lies between the Kraemer well at Orba and the big Chapman well. It is one of three pieces totaling 60 acres upon which R. Y. Williams and E. E. Farnsworth got oil leases over a year ago. There are twenty-five or thirty Santa Ana and Orange men interested in the new company. Articles of incorporation for which they are being prepared.

Edwards, 50 Years Ago March 29, 1894 Clarence Groat has just put in four hundred feet of cement ditch at his place on Lemon street, below Santa Ana street, which is the first piece of work of the kind ever put in in his neighborhood. The ditch is eighteen inches wide at the bottom and of sufficient height to allow of the easy irrigation of the land below it. He has gates at every tree row, and apart from the saving of water, the cement ditch is a great time saver in turning the water in and out of the rows. There should be more of these cement ditches, and we hope Mr. Groat's good example will find many followers. Secretary Blennerhassett of the Anaheim Union Water company informs us that the water sales of the company during the past week have amounted to $75 per day, while at this time last year they were only $75 per month.

Old-time residents are willing to predict that there will be late rains on April and May, and if such is the case there will be no cause for alarm.

McWilliams and Porter have the contract for putting up Frank Steadman's new residence on Broadway and Claudina streets, which will be made ready for occupancy as soon as building operations will permit.
