Saturday, Armistice Day, as a war-time service to the public and in keeping with the spirit of the workers who are not taking holidays from their war jobs. Public observation of the day will be in the hands of the American Legion and the ceremonies will not be in the form of a celebration.

Wilder and the Anaheim police officers on Wednesday, Nov. 15, when they meet for their regular monthly meeting. The meeting will be held at the Zion Lutheran church on East Chartress street.

Postal Receipts Indicate Anaheim Still Prosperous Again for the third quarterly period this year, and for the ten months of the year to October 31, Anaheim's postoffice receipts continued to climb, showing enormous gains over the preceding year, and bringing the local postoffice to an all-time high for cash receipts. It may be borne in mind that postal receipts are for the sale of stamps, money order fees, and other services, and the amount of money handled for C.O.D. collections and money order remittances are not counted as "receipts." Therefore, on a nationwide basis, postoffice receipts are acknowledged to be one of the best barometers to local business conditions. According to figures released by Postmaster Louis Hoskins, receipts for the first ten months of this year totaled $84,837.99, as compared with $64,450.33 for the same period in 1943, a gain of $20,487.33. For one month period of October the receipts this year were $10,837.99, as against $7,150.65 for October, 1943, a gain of $3,687.34. These figures indicate that business in general in Anaheim is even better than last year, which was counted as one of the record years in the city's history. With the two largest months, from the standpoint of receipts, still to go this year should close with a record for the local postoffice never before equaled here, and possibly not in any other city of this size in this section of the country.

While in other elections the turnout of voters averaged from Orange County Remains Loyal To Republican Tradition Sheridan Downey Returned to Senate By Big Majority Over Frederick Houser Orange county stayed in the GOP column at Tuesday's general election while the state as a whole, and the rest of the nation, went Democratic in a big way. The Democrats were even surprised as the returns rolled in which although incomplete, up to this morning indicated they had gained 22 or more seats in the House, at least held their own in the Senate, and added 16 or more governors to the New Deal ranks. Election day in Anaheim was unmarred by any untoward incident and the weather was favorable to bringing out a record vote. News from over the country indicates that the weather favored the election in most states and there is still a possibility of reaching the 50-million vote mark asked by President Roosevelt. In line with Orange county's traditionally Republican trend, and in spite of the fact that the registration of the two parties is about even, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey was accorded a majority vote of 34,521 as against 28,191 votes for President Roosevelt. This county was also among the few that voted for the so-called "Right to Work" bill, No. 12 on the ballot, the vote being 32,-455 yes, and 25,136 no votes. Also the pension bill, "$60-at-60," No. 11 on the ballot was defeated in the county about two and a half to one with 40,110 votes against the measure and 16,418 yes votes. Most of the propositions on the ballot were defeated in the Orange county voting, the veterans' bill, No. 1, carrying by a wide margin, however. Bill No. 9, more money for schools, was approved by a slender margin in the county. The county employees' pension retirement bill was also defeated along with the other measures. In the U.S. senate race Orange county also stayed in the Republican column and voted for Frederick F. Houser 35,515 as against 22,068 for Democratic incumbent Sheridan Downey, who carried the state by a big majority. While in other elections the turn-out of voters averaged from 45 to 65 percent the tally shows this election drew between 80 and 85 percent of the total registered vote of 77,670, more than 63,000 of the voters casting their ballots. Without opposition on the ballot State Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel, now a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy, stationed at San Francisco, was accorded 41,844 votes, leading the complimentary vote ticket. Cong. John Phillips, without opposition, received 40,364 complimentary votes. Assemblyman Sam L. Collins of Fullerton, 75th district, received over 19,000 votes, incomplete; while Clyde A. Watson of Orange, 74th district, running for reelection received over 23,000 votes, incomplete, while Rev. Wesley G. Edwards, Santa Ana, Prohibition candidate, received 3,669 votes. Up to last night as reports were continuing to come in from all parts of the country; Franklin D. Roosevelt was ahead in 35 states with 13 states apparently going for Thomas E. Dewey. Roosevelt had already been credited with over 400 electoral votes. Electoral votes necessary to win is 266. While many of the states have not counted the absentee soldier ballots, those that have canvassed the soldier vote were reporting big majority for Roosevelt. Clare Booth Luce, Republican glamor girl congresswoman from Connecticut, was reported to have won by about 1,500 votes over her Democratic opponent, Miss Margaret Connors. At the same time the Democratic "glamor girl" candidate for congress, Helen Ga-hagan Douglas of Hollywood had a safe lead over her Republican opponent, William D. Campbell. Anaheim and Orange county settled down to business as usual on Wednesday and as far as the local situation is concerned there are no changes being made in the present political set-up.

Annual Christmas Seal Sale to Begin Nov. 20 Over Nation The 38th annual Christmas Seal sale as sponsored each year by the Orange County Tuberculosis and Health Association, will get under way on Nov. 20 and continue through Dec. 25th. The entire nation will observe this time for purchasing these stamps to help a most worthy cause, the principal means of financing the fight against the enemy of man, tuberculosis. Medical records will show that tuberculosis is the most deadly disease for those persons between the ages of fifteen and 45 years. Since the inception of this program in 1907, 4,000,000 lives have been saved from tuberculosis, a record that is unequalled in any health program. The program of Christmas seals was born in 1904 when Einor Holboell, Danish postal clerk, during his long hours of work, thought of a way to put Christmas mail to work of humanity, and from this idea he started the sale of these stamps, and which was introduced into the United States in 1907. Everybody reads The Gazette. Because of the few books lished due to the shortage paper and delay in ship new books will be added on first of the month.

First Big Rain of Season Comes to Annual Meeting, Banquet of Chamber Of Commerce at Elks Club November 16 One week from tonight, Thursday, November 16, has been set as the date of the Chamber of Commerce annual meeting and banquet, a civic and social affair that will highlight the fall season's activities. President O. E. Hanson, Secretary Ross Lee Laird, and other members of the board of directors are working to make this the outstanding annual meeting of recent their reservations early. Perhaps the biggest news story of the year was the announcement by General Electric company of the purchase of a 12-acre factory site in the northside industrial area for a huge plastics factory to be built immediately after the war. Representing this concern at the annual meeting, Vice-President Alvord will bring an optimistic message to Anaheim residents. Location of this big factory, Anaheim's first major industrial plant, was not an accident. It was brought here through the efforts of the Chamber of Commerce and it may well be expected to be the necules around which this city will build an industrial center of great proportions. The General Electric plant will start its first unit with a payroll of approximately 750 employees, according to original estimates. With the expansion of industry, especially in the electrical and plastics lines, it may be taken for granted that the plant will be enlarged after the first unit is in operation. First Big Rain of Season Comes to Anaheim Sunday Anaheim's first big rain of the present season came Sunday afternoon from black clouds which came from the north and east, accompanied by several peals of thunder. The fall measured one inch on the same date last year. More rain is in prospect, according to forecasters, which if it comes, would indicate the rainy season will be earlier than usual this year. Practically all crops, such as lima beans and others that might be damaged by rain, have been harvested and an early rainy season would be acceptable to theanchers who would be spared some expense for irrigating, if sufficient rain fell. The weather remains somewhat cool but pleasant. CS HEADQUARTERS VERLOOKS SLC The Army Service Forces operational center for the eight Western states is located at Fort Dougss and overlooks scenic Salt Lake City, Utah. PUBLIC LIBRARY NOTICE Because of the few books published due to the shortage of paper and delay in shipping, new books will be added on the first of the month. VERNE ORR years, since the general theme of the meeting will be the post-war era. Anaheim's chamber of commerce is in close cooperation with the city administration and it may be said that this city is taking the lead in Southern California in planning for the peace time years of development following the war. Accordingly for next Thursday night's meeting two of America's outstanding industrialists will take part in the program. Fortunately enough for Anaheim; through the efforts of Secretary Ross Lee Laird, Mr. Verne Orr, vice-president of General Motors of California, and Mr. R. M. Alvord, commercial vice-president of General Electric Company, will both speak following the banquet. A short program of musical entertainment will also be given during the dinner hour. Reservations will be limited to 300, which is the capacity of the main dining room at the Elks club, and tickets at $1.50 each must be secured in advance. It is believed the demand will exceed the supply and members are urged to make brought here through the efforts of the Chamber of Commerce and it may well be expected to be the necules around which this city will build an industrial center of great proportions. The General Electric plant will start its first unit with a payroll of approximately 750 employees, according to original estimates. With the expansion of industry, especially in the electrical and plastics lines, it may be taken for granted that the plant will be enlarged after the first unit is in operation. A forward-looking program has been outlined by the chamber of commerce, and the city council, with close cooperation between the official and civic bodies, for the upbuilding and development of this city and community that is not surpassed by any other city in the south. Civic improvements are already programmed by the city council to keep abreast of the development plans of the chamber of commerce, although some of these plans cannot be executed until the war ends. This collaboration of interest, however, augurs well for the future of this city. While Anaheim's basic industry is agriculture, largely in the production of citrus, it has a surprising diversity of farm products, all of which lends itself naturally to program of industrial development that is now in the making. Well equipped with fine schools, churches, parks, public buildings, an abundant water supply, and a climate unsurpassed, Anaheim will naturally attract the builders of industrial plants who have in mind the comfort and convenience of their working personnel. All of these and many other features of Anaheim's future prospects will be discussed at the annual meeting next Thursday night, and every member of the chamber of commerce will want to be there. Make your reservations now.
