SOCIETY NEWS By HELEN GRAFTON HINEMAN Phone 2206 ST. AGNES GUILD ELECTS OFFICERS AND COMPLETE BENEFIT PARTY PLANS Mrs. Robert Rossberg was unanimously elected directress of St. Agnes Guild of St. Michael's Episcopal church on Monday evening when members gathered at the home of Mrs. Wilma Newland, 720 North Helena street, for annual election of officers and for work on party favors for the benefit bridge tea that will be given May 5. Officers who will serve with her are Mrs. C. R. Brandon, assistant directress; Mrs. Foster Warwick, secretary; Mrs. William Grafton, treasurer; Mrs. B. A. Arnold, historian, and Mrs. Howard Hineman and Miss Gertrude Anderson, board of directors. Officers will be installed at an impressive church service followed by a reception on Monday evening, May 28. This will be the first time that the new installation ritual will be used. Church members and friends are being invited to the brief service that will begin at 7:30 o'clock and to the reception that will follow in the Parish hall. Plans were made to give the Benjamin Franklin Brownie troop a party late in May. The Guild has sponsored this troop for the past two years with one of its members, Mrs. Theodore Kuchel acting as troop leader. Announcement was made of the church birthday dinner party and reception for the new rector and his wife, Rev. and Mrs. John Saville of Los Angeles. The affair will be held in the Parish Mail Carrier Earl Baum, July 1 After 25 Years. On Saturday morning June 3rd, Mail Carrier Earl Baum, 62 years of age will take up his head leather mail pouch and start on his route in the business district just as he has done for the past 25 years. He'll walk between and 20 miles, pausing briefly here and there for a word of greeting and when he has finished his slip the worn pouch from his shoulders, straighten up and may be grin a little, only it will probably be somewhat of a wistle grin. Earl Baum will have finished his job as a mail carrier. He will have completed 25 years with the United States Postal department and he'll be retiring. During those 25 years he figured that he has averaged walking 4 miles a month or 21,840 miles a year. That means that in 25 years he walked approximately 546,000 miles in delivering Uncle Sam mail. Each year he has worn out between 2 and 3 pairs of shoes and they aren't the ordinary kind of shoes either. Baum has managed to avoid the common man carrier's ailment—foot trouble because many years ago he took the advice of a retired mail carrier in Los Angeles. "Wear double soles and double heel thickness on your shoes," the old man advised and that's what Baum had been doing ever since. He does have a lame back though and is easily understandable when one considers that the mail pouches weigh between 35 and 50 pounds when loaded. "It's been a good job, though he reflects, 'and I've enjoyed doing it. On the whole the general public is very kind and the business men and women have always been fine. I'll miss seeing them every day when I quit." Plans were made to give the Benjamin Franklin Brownie troop a party late in May.

Pifer-Fackiner Engagement Revealed at Tea An engagement of unusual interest was revealed last Sunday afternoon at the Margaret Buttree music studio on North Palm street when it was disclosed at tea time that two of Anahim's most popular young people, Miss Helen Pifer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Janiës' Pifer and William Fackiner, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Fackiner, are to be married in June. Both young people have been prominent in local music circles and have taken an active part in the social life of the city. The news was revealed on the tiny tea napkins and also by a large flower heart that was centered with their pictures and that stood on a raised platform at one end of the studio. Guests were received by the mothers of the bride and bridegroom elect, Mrs. Pifer and Mrs. Fackiner and by Mrs. Buttree and Miss Pifer. All were formally attired and for the occasion Miss Pifer wore a long black skirt fashioned with a white brocaded bodice and a single orchid that was a gift from her fiance. Presiding at the lovely tea table were Mrs. Donald Rees (Betty Fackiner) of Anaheim and Mrs. Ross Boardman (Virginia Long) of San Marino. The lace covered table was centered with an attractive arrangement of yellow Dutch iris, white lilac and yellow snapdragons. Tall yellow tapers were at each side of the floral piece. Miss Margaret Cruickshank of Santa Ana and Miss Anabel Phillips of Placentia assisted in the serving. Throughout the afternoon hours Miss Marian Hall played a number of lovely Strauss waltzes. Both the bride and bride-groom elect are graduates of Anaheim Union High school and both took prominent part in the music life of the school. Miss Pifer then attended U.C.L.A. and following graduation taught in the Kern County Union High school. During the past year she has beenvised and that's what Baum has been doing ever since. He does have a lame back though and is easily understandable when one considers that the mail pounds between 35 and 50 pounds when loaded. "It's been a good job, though he reflects," "and I've enjoyed doing it. On the whole the general public is very kind and the business men and women have all ways been fine. I'll miss seeing them every day when I quit." He retire on a small government pension and with a twinkle in his eyes he said, "I'm just going lay around for three or four years and make up my mind if I want to work any more." Of course he laying around will include "puntering about" on 15 acres of walnuts and five acres of oranges that his wife inherited some years ago. They are going to keep right off living in the same house that they bought at 218 North Olive street just before he started his job with the post office. That house has many happy memories in it for it's where Donald, their only child grew up. No he's a pharmacist mate 1st class in the Navy and is living with his wife and six-year-old daughter in San Diego. “There have been some hawks.” Baum says, “but an job has them. Mostly it's been finances” he said, “because it sure hard getting along on a mail man's pay. I started in at $1400 year and that was in times similar to these. It was right after World War I and prices were terribly high. We've only had on basic pay raise since that war for $300 a year back in 1925. We postal employees only receive that raise because the business men all over the nation wrote their congressmen and told them that we really needed it. We're trying to get another raise now and the employees really do need it. In looking back over the year he remembers how there was no parcel post service when he started in and he used to push little two wheel cart, loaded with packages, through the streets Sometimes it would tip over and the packages would fall all over and the passerbys would call our merry wise-cracks. Downtown Anaheim wasn't built up then as it is now. There was an old barn, used as a garage, where the Fox theater now stands and he White Lily Baker was where the Bank of America located and Pressel's blacksmith shop was on Center street near the corner of Clementine.

All appointments were carried on in the Mexican theme and places were set for 14 members. Raffia table mats, sent the hostess by her son who is in the Philippines Islands, were of especial interest to the guests. Following the dinner a brief business session was held after which a number of informal games were played. Mrs. Gledhill presented a prize, a small potted cactus, to each member.
