Warren Fills Greek Theatre For Address Unity was the theme of the address Saturday morning at Anaheim’s City Park Greek Theatre by Governor Earl Warren who chose this place to make one of the closing speeches of his campaign for the Dewey-Warren ticket in the Presidential elections. Although Anaheim was full of competing attractions, the Republican candidate for vice-president crowded the Greek Theatre for his talk. While Governor Warren said he and his running-mate would rather lose the election than do or say anything to disturb the unity of the nation, he was confident that the Republican party at this time was the only agency that could provide it. Mrs. Leila Eastman, chairman of the Dewey-Warren Campaign Committee and chairman of the Republican county central committee, presided at the meeting.

Anaheim was one of the last cities in his wind-up tour of the recent presidential campaign. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago November 15, 1873 In describing the articles on exhibition at the pavillion in Los Angeles the "Star" says: "A banana tree two years old, with a bunch of unripe fruit pendant from its branches, attracted the observation of all visitors. The tree was grown upon the premises of Elijah Workman, Esq., and we believe it is the first tree of the kind ever brought into bearing order in this section." That is a mistake, on the elegant grounds of Dr. Hardin, can be seen two large banana trees, each bearing a large bunch of the delicious fruit, which has nearly all ripened. Some of the bananas have been ripe for two weeks past, and the fruit although smaller than that grown in the tropics, possesses an equal flavor and richness. Those which we tasted on Wednesday last, compare favorably with any we ever ate, and it has been our fortune to enjoy this fruit in its own tropical home. If the fruit could be made to ripen about one month earlier so as to escape the blighting influence of the cold winds which now prevail at night, we have no doubt it would grow as large here as in the tropics.
