IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago December 6, 1873 Dedication of Odd Fellows Hall — Punctually at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, the members of Anaheim Lodge No. 199, I.O.O.F., assembled at their old lodge room in the Masonic hall, and with their brothers of Los Angeles, El Monte and Gallatin, started in procession to the building recently erected by them, and for the dedication of which, the cares of business had been laid aside. The column was led by Desmond's brass band of Los Angeles. It proceeded down Los Angeles street to Center, down Center to Lemon, thence along Lemon to North First street and through that street to their building on the corner of North First and Los Angeles streets. All of the seats not necessary for the use of the brotherhood, had already been occupied by the ladies. As soon as the procession filed in the lodge room all the available standing space was tion had been made to present to the public an entertainment worthy of Anaheim. The rain, therefore, only enhanced the pleasure of the occasion by bringing to the mind foreshadowings of the prosperity and happiness attendant upon its gentle presence. One of the most notable features of the occasion was the supper room. We do not speak only of the goodly array of edibles provided for the inner man, under the supervision of Robert Menzel, but also of the decorations. Amongst the festoons of flowers culled from the December blooming gardens of Anaheim were clusters of oranges still hanging to their native boughs and the produce of our own gardens. Many a happy incident to be remembered in after years by the participants occurred, and food for many a pleasant reminiscence was stored up by the guests at the dedication hall of the Anaheim lodge. 75 Years Ago December 8, 1898 An interesting game of baseball was played between the Anaheim and Norwalk baseball club at West End grounds on Sunday, sulting in a victory for the local by a score of 8 to 4.

Beginning Made For Home for Children Here (Continued from page 1) ators were not ready to say this week, but their plans call for an administrative building and two wings at the outset. Plans are to be so drawn that wings may be added as the home grows. It is the plan to provide accommodations for 60 children at the outset. Two of the seven incorporators are Anaheim men. They are Rev. Mr. Neumann, originator of the plan, and Harry R. Fox. The others are Philip G. Goehring of Lodi, William Wunsch of Monrovia, Milton Wedel of Wasco, David Baer of Huntington Park and William Knauf of Elk Grove. The home will be prepared to welcome orphans, half orphans and other homeless children whether they or their parents were Baptists or not. Rev. Mr. Neumann said that while $500,000 had been mentioned as the amount of money the association would have to spend on its home the corporation expected to make a start with a fraction of this amount. He added, however, that financing the enterprise was definitely not one of its problems.

Isaac Williams, for a number of years road boss in the Buena Park district, was in Anaheim yesterday. 25 Years Ago December 6, 1923 With the major part of the construction work completed, indications today were that Orange county's beautiful new $206,000 hall of records will be ready for occupancy by February 1, according to County Clerk Jos. M. Backs. The new building will relieve much of the congestion that has existed at the county court house for many months. There will be space for a number of departments including the county treasurer, county recorder, county tax collector, the county farm advisor, and Supt. R. P. Mitchell of the county schools will also have offices in the building. The Kiwanis club at Monday's luncheon, elected R. B. Young, president; J. A. Clayes, vice president; Harry D. Horn, secretary; E. Zitzmann, treasurer and a board of directors composed of Chas. H. Mann, William Falkenstein, William T. Wallop, F. A. Yungbluth, H. G. Ames, Frank N. Gibbs and E. C. Rundstrum. The retiring president, A. B. McCord, was elected district trustee. Mr. Ray Fischer, the well-known and popular contractor and builder of Anaheim, will sell his property at 535 Lemon street at auction next Saturday. This place by absence of new growth in foliage and twigs, the symptoms developing uniformly through the top of the tree, which has the appearance of showing effect of root or crown injury, which might be caused by gophers, or a fungi causing gummosis. Foliage has a dull green color, leaves hang lifelessly. Fruit is abundant but below normal size, often very small compared with fruit of nearby trees. Diagnosis at this point requires that roots be uncovered to an extent of four feet from the trunk, to eliminate other possible causes, such as gopher injury. When quick decline is the cause, it will be found that feeder roots have died. In later stages, foliage becomes dull gray-green, the leaves droop further, and light can be seen through the top of the tree. Such a tree can be spotted in an orchard from several hundred feet away. Dying of roots will have progressed into the larger roots. In the last stages of disease, the tree appears partly defoliated, though not losing many leaves. The appearance results from rolling and shriveling of leaves. The leaves begin to border on yellow in color. The fruit remains, standing out prominently. The disease is, in the belief of students, carried from diseased to well trees by an insect which has not yet been identified. County and state authorities have by no means surrendered to the spread of quick decline, on the contrary are intensifying their studies and defensive measures. Orange county now has a plant pathology laboratory, in which study and chemical tests are facilitated. The fight goes on. Gregorio Sepulveda Claimed by Death Gregorio L.

Dons Ben Agajanian, owner of Aggie's Sport and Hobby Shop, 265 East Center street, Anaheim, known as "Bootin' Ben, the place kicker," returned Monday morning after playing with the Los Angeles Dons in four games in New York. He left here November 4, via TWA Constellation airliner. Although the Los Angeles football team lost to the New York team, they won their games over Brooklyn, Buffalo and Baltimore. Proving that it is a small world, the Anaheim man visited Mrs. P. Ohanian, mother of Arsen Ohanian, local photographer, known professionally as Arsene, while in New York City. Agajanian, famous for his accuracy in place kicking, was given a pull page of publicity in Life Magazine last year.

Maletta is well known in his own right for highest honors awarded by a national shoe repair organization.
