Mrs. George Hamler and Al Nowatney winning the first prize and Mrs. Louis Kroeger and Herman Schindler the second. Supper was served to seventeen persons at midnight." (Printed in the Anaheim Gazette on April 15, 1920.) The above social occasion occurred just 25 years ago in Anaheim and the hosts at that time had only been married a short eight years. They were really just starting out on the long road that lay ahead of them and their dreams were those of all young married couples—a home, children, security and happiness together. This week, on April 9, they had their thirty-third wedding anniversary together and in keeping with the rest of their lives they celebrated it quietly and were able to look back on the road that had once stretched so far ahead of them. In doing so they found that their lives had been that of an average American family. They have had their measure of happiness and their measure of sorrow and now they are looking forward, some years hence, to celebrating their golden wedding anniversary as they have seen their aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. George Hamler, do.

Horne will open the meeting with a devotional service and the affair will be concluded with a litany service given by Mrs. Al Casebeer. Mrs. Gerald Patton, president of the council, presided at the meeting. POULTRY PASTURES As economy of production will continue to be essential in poultry, it might be well to consider ear-marking some of the farm's good pasture for this spring's crop of chickens. It has been proved that chicks and growing pullets can make good use of pasturage, and that a clean range with a good growth of succulent fresh forage is the cheapest way to provide such necessary vitamins as A, D and G. Mr. and Mrs. Hamler were married in Moline, Illinois in 1887 and moved to Anaheim in 1910. He entered the real estate business and became prominent in civic and social activities.
