Prancing horses, bearing flashing silver-mounted equipment and colorfully costumed riders; dazzling floats of almost indescribable beauty; beautiful women in artistic costumes; talented bands; humorous stunts and comical clowns—all blended into a dazzling spectacle rarely seen in a city even several times the normal size of Anaheim. But last night's Anaheim was not normal, in size nor in spirit. Roads from all directions were jammed with traffic, Anaheim bound, motorists report. Business houses were filled during such hours as their doors remained open. Joking Seriously The sign the 20-30 club included in its amusing stunt—"Who said Anaheim if a one-horse town?" — Contained much truth and no poetry. Generous applause and vociferous approval greeted each entry as the parade moved west, swelling to thunderous proportions at the reviewing stand in the 100 block of West Center, where Ross Lee Laird of Granada announced each sponsor over the loudspeak-merce Statue of Liberty. Johns-Manville's devil and switch ensemble. Massed flags of the United Nations, entered by the Fraternal Order of Eagles. Ermisch Cleaners' atomic bomb. The Eltiste calliope, which had serenaded since early morn, brought up the rear, silent under the tired fingers of Noni Swartz-baugh of Anaheim. In all, approximately 50 floats, many decorated cars, a half-dozen bands and various other features contributed to making the spectacle a success. City Fathers A party of dignitaries from Yuma joined with Anaheim city officials in adding the proper dignity to the affair. The former included Mayor Walter Ingalls, George Robinson, fire chief; Councilmen B. A. Giusti and W. J. Anderson, and T. B. Watson. Parade Chairman John D. Ardaiz, his parade marshal, Everett M. Cone, and the latter's aide, Glen A. Peck, are being, and will continue long to be congratulated upon the fruits of their efforts, as will General Chairman J Ben Kaulbars, who had over-all responsibility for providing an organization that would "get the job done."

Generous applause and vociferous approval greeted each entry as the parade moved west, swelling to thunderous proportions at the reviewing stand in the 100 block of West Center, where Ross Lee Laird of Granada announced each sponsor over the loudspeaker. What the spectators lacked in number, as the assemblage left Center street and headed back west on Broadway, was compensated for by their enthusiasm. The line started moving shortly following the scheduled hour of 7 p.m., with "Wild Bill" Elliott, the "Red Ryder" of Republic's western pictures based on the comic strip character of that name, in the place of honor as grand marshal leading, astride his familiar trained saddle/stallion, Thunder. A step behind came his aides, Johnny Wagner and Jack Turner, with mounts and trappings that are impressive in any company. Pity the Judges! To make special mention of any entry is a difficult choice. The impartial judges have handled that task well, in awarding the trophies and ribbons. However, a brief description of some of the outstanding entries would include, in order of their appearance! One entered by the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association; bearing a miniature home, with a returning sailor being welcomed, at the gate, by his family. The Kress employees' interesting impression of the interior of a harem—a load of appropriately clad beauties reclining on silken pillows. The black cat and pumpkins of the Anagold entry. Members of the 20-30 club, who follow the horses as serious business. Brea chamber of commerce impression of the comforts that make for "the service man's dream." The effective Chikkan combination of an oil derrick, a plane and a ship, against a background formed by a hill of gold. The Shaffer Tool Works' featuring of the Victory Loan drive. Tribute to Valor The American Legion's depiction of the thought of heroes of World War II: "Their victory gave us this Hallowe'en." A huge truck entered by the Councilmen B. A. Glustu and W. J. Anderson, and T. B. Watson. Parade Chairman John D. Ardaiz, his parade marshal, Everett M. Cone, and the latter's aide, Glen A. Peck, are being, and will continue long to be congratulated upon the fruits of their efforts, as will General Chairman J Ben Kaulbars, who had over-all responsibility for providing an organization that would "get the job done." The judging by Elden Fairbanks of Pasadena of entries in Bill Wallop's horse division of the parade was conducted on the Alpha Beta lot on East Center street before the line started moving. Some 75 beautiful saddle horses were paraded before the judges in competition for the honor of a nod of approval. Center of Interest Jack Turner, Long Beach oil man, resplendent in a handsome black leather outfit, heavy with hand wrought silver trimmings, and his famed Palomino stud, "Top Hat," winner of 17 firsts in stiff competition this year, whom his owner values at $20,000, complete with silver-mounted saddle and bridle of almost unbelievable beauty, were centers of attraction, both at the show and in the parade. Other outstanding attractions were John Wagner, who rode "Larena," an outstanding California Palomino mare, which probably has won more blue ribbons, it is said, than any other horse in Southern California; Jim Roberts on "Whitesox," which has been a winner in many big shows; Jack Robinson and his great quarter horse, "Dr. Hanks," considered one of the best of his breed in this section, and sweepstakes winner at the recent Santa Barbara show, and many others. The fun continued well into the night, with the main center of attraction the theater in City park, where judging of costumes worn in the parade vied with professional entertainers for the approval of a throng of more than 3000 persons. It was well after midnight before the last weary Anaheimer wended his way homeward—to awake today in a land of workday reality where yesterday all was make believe.

From completion of the two-hour morning entertainment until the Kiddies' parade started rolling promptly at 2 p.m., west on Center street from Emily to Clementine, thence north to the park, citizens and visitors, largely in costume, thronged the business district, indulging in good-natured high jinks and tomfoolery. 'Hear Ye! Hear Ye!' Kangaroo court, always a center of interest, convened on the reviewing stand, between Los Angeles and Lemon streets on Center, with Homer Wallace, Bill Payne and Roy Mendoza inflicting every outrage of which they could think—and a lot that were thought up for them—on their hapless prisoners.

John Phillips You would feel at home in Washington this week; there are Californians everywhere. There always are a good many of us; we have one of the most active state societies. Right now there is a gathering of delegations. Stanley Bates to the U. S. Chamber of Commerce meetings, and to talk roads and airports and what have you; Harry Harper from Palm Springs to talk airports and Indian lands and other assorted ideas. George Graham, from Anaheim, with a group from all over California and from a dozen other states to arrange to keep Mexican labor so we can get our crops harvested. They brought some California weather with them, which makes them doubly welcome. Your congressional office in Washington is always delighted to see people from home. In addition to bringing the news from home, they usually get something to do. Thats' what is happening now to Harry Harper. I have invited him to be "guest columnist" this week; to tell his impressions of Washington. Harry, you take the column over from here: Perhaps I should have known better, but no one had warned me that Congressman John Phillips has a penchant for putting his district's visitors to work here so they can cut their eye teeth on Washington. He suggested that he might send me around to some of the bureaus to run down some information, but after I heard via the grapevine that they had to send a St. Bernard and a rescue squad after the last man Verve Siddown and Isaac Miller, La Habra; Mrs. H.

Victory Loan Drive Nears Full Stride (Continued from Page 1) Story Loan chairman, and others impressed on the volunteer solicitors that the job is not done because victory is won. "We must provide funds for the best of care for those of our boys who are wounded," Demaree reminded. "We also must expedite return of many still overseas, some of whom you workers are waiting." Reviewing stand, between Los Angeles and Lemon streets on Center, with Homer Wallace, Bill Payne and Roy Mendoza inflicting every outrage of which they could think—and a lot that were thought up for them—on their hapless prisoners. The Kangaroo jail was kept filled and the judge's gavel banged busily throughout most of the day. Led by Chief of Police Wilder with the siren on his automobile screaming a warning along a well-policed route through the main business section, the Fremont school band paced by smartly-stepping drum majorettes, came first. Trimly uniformed students of St. Catherine's military school were next in line, keeping step with military precision that won admiration of the throngs that crowded both sides of the street, several deep. Besides those two, other schools participating were Horace Mann, Broadway, Lincoln, Loara and Benjamin Franklin. A difficult task was before the judges as they made their selections, for it was necessary to make many choices between close rivals. Upon arrival at the park of the children who staged their own cute version of just what a Hallowe'en affair should consist, additional vaudeville acts were provided. Professional clowns, who had accompanied the juvenile celebrators along their line of march, continued to win squeals of gleeful appreciation for their antics. 'Mad,' Not Angry 'Val Seewald," "The Mad Magician," mystified and amused his small beholders, as well as their more sophisticated elders, with his feats of mastery of "the black art." The Great Lester, comedy ventriloquist of considerable accomplishment and a flare for child psychology, delighted juvenile Anaheim, and Joe Brooks, with his comedy juggling, was rewarded with mixed groans of sympathy and howls of laughter, as his well-timed blunders touched childish emotions. Hector and his Pals, in "Fun in Dogland," were ideal entertainment for the children, his animals displaying an unusual degree of intelligence as they went through their smooth routine. Audience Joined In Audience participation was provided with a will as Bob Perry closed the afternoon show with praiseworthy comedy antics. Perhaps I should have known better, but no one had warned me that Congressman John Phillips has a penchant for putting his district's visitors to work here so they can cut their eye teeth on Washington. He suggested that he might send me around to some of the bureaus to run down some information, but after I heard via the grapevine that they had to send a St. Bernard and a rescue squad after the last man who had started out in high spirits on a round of the bureaus, I declined the honor with alacrity. But then John recalled that I used to heckle my readers in Riverside county with my newspaper stuff, and nothing would satisfy him until I consented to knock off a yarn on the impressions of a rubberneck tourist on his first visit to Washington—which I am. So we are up to that point and you needn't read farther if you have anything important to do. Seriously though, this IS a beautiful city; one that is sure to give any American a real thrill and stir inside a sense of pride that he is a citizen of the commonwealth, however small and unimportant he may feel. The vast expanse of government buildings standing majestically in classic architecture, the tremendous stretch of parks everywhere one looks, and the realization that here we have the makings of the world's most beautiful city all add up to making a visit here a real "must" at least once in everyone's life. We are too apt to think of Washington in the terms of our appraisals, favorable or unfavorable, of the human element of the capital, overlooking the obvious fact that such personalities are but fleeting shadows cast against the enduring beauty and charm of our beloved capital. Congress now is hearing the stirrings of the great construction program that will further carry out Monsieur L'Enfant's amazing plan for Washington—a plan he was certain would one day class Washington as the world's most beautiful city! Right how Washington seems to be scooting joyously out from under the burdens of the tight war period. The streets are chronged with gay crowds at night—crowds containing a big percentage of the service people still on duty here.

Full Dodge the King Lodges, clubs and other organizations are urged by Chairman Demaree to hurry choice of their candidates in the King of Aaneim contest, which is expected to provide a lot of fun locally and to greatly ease the city's duty of raising its million-dollar quota. Plans are in readiness to make an amusing spectacle of the public coronation of the winner. Rumor has it that all who are mentioned as logical candidates are extolling the better qualifications of other possible nominees. There even is great possibility that forts will be made by the various candidates to throw the election in favor of their opponents. Votes in the contest will be determined by amount of bond purchases, each $25 of face value to count as one vote. Among most popular issues in the present offering are R-E bonds, bearing the likeness of the late President Roosevelt and a rotation from one of his speeches, campaign workers state. They have a maturity value of $200. Among first subscribers for these was Tom Seeds, advertising manager of the Gazette, who proud of his record of holding bonds purchased in each of the eight campaigns. Stock Captains Lee Fabian, chairman of the real division of the campaign organization, has announced the following as block captains: Tex Middleton, R. S. Riffle, Jeanne Pratt, Hugo LaVerne, Milfred Ferrell, Al Cotler, Gene Mahaffey, Paul Gilbert, O. W. Conner, Mrs. W. M. Trockstad, H. M. Broyles and Milton Kohne. Workers who are uncertain to which captain they should report may obtain that information by phoning headquarters at Fabian's store, Anaheim 2713. There are six issuing stations for E bonds in Anaheim: the two banks, both building and loan associations, the post office and the Firestone store. F. and G bonds are issued only at the post office. Clerk Back In Office Charles Griffith, city clerk, has returned to his office, after a short illness which confined him to his home. The wild turkey, a native of America, and once abundant in the wooded regions of the eastern United States, is now very rare. Right how Washington seems to be scooting joyously out from under the burdens of the tight war period. The streets are choreographed with gay crowds at night—crowds containing a big percentage of the service people still on duty here. Tourists, whole families of them, wander among the buildings in a happy, country-fair mood. To a country-jake like myself the vast fleet of taxis is something to make your eyes bug out. The city has 5313 cabs, a cabbie told me the other day! The streets are full of them and, strangely, all seem to be doing a rushing business. Distances are so great between government buildings one must use the taxis. I walked a half a mile to lunch the other day. Also this is a city of brief cases—a man would as soon leave his trousers at home in the morning as his briefcase! We have had as nearly perfect fall weather as one could order—cool, crisp mornings, warm, bright sunshine days and balmy evenings. The trees are golden and red in their fall garb and he softly rustling leaves are littering the lawns of that fascinating expanse of parkway, the Mall, stretching a mile and a half from the Capitol to the Washington Monument. To a lover of parks, Washington can seem but little short of heaven. It's a trip worth anyone's time no matter how far he must come. Two or three days here can give any tired patriot a real shot in the arm of pride and patriotism. Can testify to that personally.
