STORES WILL REMAIN OPEN Plans were completed yesterday for the manner in which Anaheim will observe V-E day when the retail division of the Chamber of Commerce met to discuss the situation. Herbert Eldred, chairman of the committee, presided. As a result of the discussion it was agreed that all stores will remain open and Anaheim's plan will be "work as usual." All liquor stores have volunteered to close immediately, however. Committee members were in agreement that the end of hostilities in Europe will be an occasion for deep thankfulness but that celebrations should be staved off until the war is really over. In following this policy Anaheim will be carrying out the request of high military and government officials who have asked that production of goods not be slackened to any degree. Governor Earl Warren made the same request yesterday of residents of California and reminded them that the war is not over and that there is still a long road ahead. There will be no ringing of bells in Anaheim Mayor Charles Pearson stated in saying that it would not be fair to the service men in the Pacific theater of operations who will still be giving their lives to insure final peace for the world. When Germany is completely knocked out of the war only one half of the war will be won, he said in voicing his opinion that all "jubilant celebrations" be withheld until final victory comes. Santa Ana has decided to follow this same general plan, it was announced, and consequently has thrown overboard its previous plan of "closing shop" for the mainder of the business hours on V-E day. In both cities residents are urged to show their thankfulness by attending church services. Chamber of Commerce secretary E. W. Moeller reminded the committee of the necessity of preparing a definite program for post-war city development including improvements in the appearance of the downtown district such as "face-lifting" of store buildings and repairing of side-walks and curbs.
