AL'S CAFE 213 East Center Anahe Aunt Nono Helps Perform First Appendectomy Here 46 Years Ago In an atmosphere shrouded with tense anticipation, a muted prayer in the heart and a crossing and recrossing of the fingers, the first appendectomy of Anaheim was performed... 46 years ago. Heading our cast of characters was Dr. Lasher, Los Angeles surgeon, assisted by the late Dr. Eddy and Dr. H. A. Johnston of the Johnston clinic, attending physicians; Mrs. Joce Ackerman, nurse in attendance, through whose lips this true-life drama, is vivariously experienced by the audience; with Fannie Higgins, administering the anesthesia. Fannie's father, Dr. Higgins, in the early days had a drug store, corner of Lemon and Center; now widowed Mrs. Fannie Lyon is living with her sister, Margaret, in Hollywood. Their mother was the first practicing woman doctor in Anaheim. Vera Gade, our patient, daughter of Henry Gade, who, at that time, owned the first horse and truck transfer company of this fair city, is the cause of all this: Scene one of our play opens in the operating room (home of Mrs. Spoerl, East Broadway, aunt of the patient). Mrs. Spoerl's daughter still resides in this city with her husband, Mr. John Kellenberger, former city marshal, and past member of the Republican central committee. Description of our duo-narrator team: Mrs. Ackerman, alias "Aunt Nono," attending nurse, was 30 years old at that time. As she lives her story, the twinkle of youth vibrates with the dignity of her age—76. She, with her sister, Mrs. Estella Fisher, came here 51 years ago; they are native daughters of Cincinnati, Ohio, spent "a spell" in San Francisco, journeyed to Anaheim, and here they remain. Mrs. Fisher narrates from now on it was raining like blazes, we were carried from our carriage by the driver, as Center street resembled a raging river, having sprinkled 22 inches this Cranston Begins 13th Tour With Opera Company Albert Cranston, basso of eminence and famed throughout the United States, left Monday night by train with his first stop, Dec. 27, Dallas, Texas, beginning his 13th seasonal tour with the San Carlo Opera company. "Curtain calls" in that vicinity will include Fort Worth and El Paso, Texas; Tucson, and Phoenix, Arizona, with a return engagement to the Philharmonic auditorium, Los Angeles, scheduled for January 4, where he will portray Marquis in "La Traviata" opening night. Before touring north, Cranston will appear in Pasadena, San Diego and Long Beach, enacting various opera roles, including Count Ceprano of "Riggioletto." Following his appearance in San Francisco he will stop at major cities in Oregon, Washington and British Columbia, and throughout western and midwestern cities of Idaho, Utah, Nebraska and Colorado, returning to this city about March 13, 1946. This is the thirteenth year of Cranston's brilliant career, having developed his talents while in attendance at college in North Dakota. Achievements in Anaheim, excluding his remarkable operatic LOAF CAFE Phone 3314 is our earnest hope that when the volumes have been written about this decade, history prove 1946 to have been a turning point toward man's later happiness and enriched in every way.

She, with her sister, Mrs. Estella Fisher, came here 51 years ago; they are native daughters of Cincinnati, Ohio, spent "a spell" in San Francisco, journeyed to Anaheim, and here they remain. Mrs. Fisher narrates from now on it was raining like blazes, we were carried from our carriage by the driver, as Center street resembled a raging river, having sprinkled 22 inches this season, but the fair lady undaunted by the torrent, nevertheless insisted on sampling a bit "of the fruit of the gods". so she tasted her first orange, courtesy of a neighboring rancher (could be—this courtesy was unknown to him). Twenty-five years ago in November, she and her husband, Mr. Fisher, purchased the same house in which she and Aunt Nono now reside. She connects this date with the first Armistice day's parade ever staged in Anaheim. Among her eloquent reminiscences, two other historical color notes were gained, that her late husband, John Fisher, built the first three-story building in Anaheim (still bears the name, Fisher building) with the site previously used as horse stables operated by Will Warner...and that the Valencia hotel, built and owned by the late John Zeigler, was the first four-story building constructed in Orange county. Mabel Masterson, resident of Anaheim, is one of his daughters; two others live in Placentia, Mrs. Frank Anderson and Mrs. George Sala. Since we are still on the operating table, and babies are usually brought into the world by physicians, a few comments on the son of 65-year-old Mrs. Fisher...Gene, T/Sgt., electrical engineer, three years with the special engineering detachment of the Army, was closely connected with the designing of the atomic bomb, having been stationed at Oak Ridge, Tehn., and not until the Japanese surrender, signed aboard the Missouri, was he able to write Mom the nature of his work. Now she knows his part in the war. Gene, a graduate of our schools recently sent a pamphlet home containing aerial photo shots of this "secret city, home of the atomic bomb," with the comment that the city was laid out and built in four years. P. S.—Heroine-patient of the play recovers from her operation nicely. WITH AND AIR OF ...warm Christmas welcome, Mr. and Mrs. Harry L. Rupp, 911 South Nicholas, Fullerton, opened wide their door to relatives motoring from surrounding vicinities, who joined them in feasting, fun and frivolity.

Two-fold celebration was noted...Ruth Steinberger, sister of the hostess (arrived some years ago, on Dec. 25), opened additional parcels, inscribed "Happy Birthday" and cut the first piece of a beautifully decorated Yule-birthday cake, baked by the hostess. Others attending were George Bogue, Anaheim; Mrs. Florence Glover, Mr. and Mrs. O. J. Graves and daughter, Nancy, Fullerton; Mrs. Kay Zeller and daughter, Laura Ann, Santa Ana; Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Steinberger, Big Bear, and of course, the young Rupps, Bill and John Lee.
