Camellia Fanciers to Display Choice Blossoms at Annual Show, Feb. 21-22 Balsa Butchers Elect Officers, Want Local Site Double-headers for the regular business session of the Anaheim Balsa Butchers were the election of 1948 officers and discussion again of a possible flying site for model airplanes within Anaheim city limits. Jim Kitchens was chosen president of the group of youthful and adult model craftsmen and, "remote controllers." Past president Bob Keech was elected vice-president, and Lee Wright, secretary. Last Sunday more than 25 Balsa Butchers tried their skill at the flying circle donated to them by the Fullerton city council at the municipal airport of that city. Approximately 30 cars of spectators viewed the event. Each week four different youngsters belonging to the club are given one-half hour of free flying instruction by qualified pilots at the Fullerton airport. Enthusiasm over this feature is flying high, club spokesmen report. "Pop" Arnold now is conducting a model building class under the sponsorship of the Sky Pilots of the Calvary Baptist church on West Broadway at Citron street each Wednesday night at 7 o'clock, at the church. Any youngster interested in the course may attend, it was announced. Seeks Land For Headquarters The fact that the California Highway Patrol had inquired as to the possibility of leasing a parcel of land in Fullerton on which it might construct a county headquarters was revealed last week by the Fullerton city council, but Capt. H. C. Meehan who heads the Camellia fanciers, of whom there are several in Anaheim and the immediate vicinity, will be drawn to Bokkdale Park, Pasadena, February 21 and 22 for the 1948 show of the Southern California Camellia Society. Arrangements for the two-day event have included the selection of Martha Hyer, movie starlet, as camellia queen. The event will be held in the Fannie E. Morrison Horticultural center in the park from noon Feb. 21 to 10 p.m. the following day. As many as 700 varieties of the flower will be shown. Many of them are available to the amateur collector and home gardener. Included are many varieties that thrive and produce outstanding flowers with no more attention than is required for the more commonly-known varieties, according to Dr. Lloyd J. Taylor of Los Angeles, a member of the society's board of directors and a prominent camellia authority of the southland. Besides the flowers, camellias offer year-round luxuriant foliage that makes them ideal for landscaping and foundation planting. Dr. Taylor said. They also are relatively free of pests affecting most other garden shrubs, he added. Flower lovers are promised a never-to-be-forgotten display of camellia plants, blooms and flower arrangements. Exhibits are coming from as far north as the Bay region, Portland and Seattle, from the many affiliated societies in southern California and from the deep south. Records from last year's successful show indicate visitors were entertained from every state in the union and from as far away as New South Wales. Camera fans will be permitted in the show rooms at 9 o'clock Sunday morning, an hour in advance of the public opening, so they may use tripods if they do... Seeks Land For Headquarters The fact that the California Highway Patrol had inquired as to the possibility of leasing a parcel of land in Fullerton on which it might construct a county headquarters was revealed last week by the Fullerton city council, but Capt. H. C. Meehan who heads the county CHP squad said the inquiry did not mean that the squad is about to move to Fullerton. Capt. Meehan said the squad which now shares office space with the Motor Vehicle Department in Orange finds itself cramped and has been looking about for some time for a suitable parcel of land on which it could build its own home at not too great a cost. Records from last year's successful show indicate visitors were entertained from every state in the union and from as far away as New South Wales. Camera fans will be permitted in the show rooms at 9 o'clock Sunday morning, an hour in advance of the public opening, so they may use tripods if they desire. The Southern California Camellia society is a non-profit organization of flower lovers, including homemakers, business and professional persons, who have advanced a new avocational pursuit to intrigue the home gardener, Dr. Taylor said. Everybody reads the Gazette. HOT WATER?

Frank Noe was master of ceremonies, and he was introduced by Commander Hash.

The speaker of the evening was Ben Lieberman, who is director of the Orange County Veterans' Service Center. He said the center had received four thousand requests for assistance during January, which shows that the work of the center is not getting any lighter. He enumerated a great many interesting cases that have come to him for solution. He urged all veterans to keep up their affiliation with the various service mens' groups.

The Centralia school P.-T.A. held their annual Founders' Day program, Monday afternoon, February 9th, in the auditorium of the school. The usual procedure of the meetings was reversed by having the program first and the business meeting afterward. This was done to allow the children taking part to go home on the school bus. The opening number was a reading demonstration by the third grade. None of the reading matter had been rehearsed or studied by the participants, and Mrs. Resterer, their teacher, put this on as a demonstration of how she teaches her pupils to read at sight. Mrs. Fowler, director of music, had her fourth and fifth grade music pupils demonstrate the modern ballad, the old songs of the sea and the Negro spirituals. Some of the members of the P.-T.A. presented a play entitled "How It All Began." This was done in authentic costumes of the year 1897, and were actual dresses of that period. The play was in commemoration of the fifty-first anniversary of Founders' Day and depicted the founding of the organization. The cast of characters were as follows: Mrs. Alice Bierney, founder of the P.-T.A., Mrs. Korn; Mrs. Bierney's friend, Evadelle Richardson; Mrs. Hearst, the wealthy lady to whom Mrs. Bierney turned for financial assistance, Mrs. St. Pierre; the two gossips, Ms. Jahr and Mrs. Dillon; Sally, the little school girl, Jeannette Koss, and Mrs. Bierney's daughter, Peggy Reece. Mrs. Glen Dysinger and Mrs. Wicker helped with the direction and the costumes were furnished by Mrs. Dysinger. Mrs. Wicker then gave a very interesting history of the Centralia P.-T.A. and concluded by presenting past presidents and the members of the cast in the play with corsages.

The business meeting which followed was presided over by Mrs. C. Frank Lyen, the president, and was mostly in laying plans for the P.-T.A. carnival, the one money-making project which they hold each year. Mrs. Hayden, Mrs. St. Pierre and Mrs. Walker furnished the Founder's Day cake and a tidy sum was realized from donations which is sent in to the headquarters of the organization each year. The ham dinner and bazaar which was sponsored by the people of Cypress for the benefit of their Park Fund was an outstanding success. The large crowd which attended not only had the satisfaction of a really fine dinner, but also had the pleasure of realizing that they had a part in adding their bit toward the Park Fund. The affair grossed $471.66. The candy, bakery goods, canned goods and jellies, the needlework and parcel post all did a fine business and were 100 percent profit as all this was donated. The Community Club ladies have a few lovely hand-made aprons yet for sale, so anyone wishing some last minute gift suggestion for some occasion could do double good by purchas- Mattie J.
