Anaheim churches were filled for the special services and mothers were grateful that the long bitter struggle in Europe had come to an end. Many clubs in Anaheim, as elsewhere, also paid tribute to mothers last week in special programs, luncheons and dinners. On Wednesday evening of last week the Business and Professional Women's club gathered at the Parker House for a dinner meeting and had the mothers of members as its special guests.

The guests were seated a tables that were prettily decorated with spring flowers and small American flags that also paid tribute to the great victory in Europe.

Those who were fortunate enough to have their mothers with them receive honor.
