Anaheim Gazetteer by JOHN S. NEUBAUER JUST FOLKS—Wells Erthal is sporting a set of whiskers that took three months to cultivate. Like Joe Martin, the Anaheim booster, he'll hate to part with them after the Hallowe'en event...

Raymond Holt, Anaheim's leading historian, is beginning his tenure as librarian at Pomona tomorrow... Rupert (Tom) Grigsby, the Anaheim motelman, doesn't like to have a gun poked in his stomach in the wee small hours of the morning. You can say that again for Walter Knott the well known Buena Parker who's had more experience with stick up men than anyone else we know... Superior Judge Raymond Thompson and Mrs. Mary Jane Thamer will soon exchange wedding vows... Rudolph Wetzel, a former Anaheimer, now of Bakersfield, is a grampa... North Anaheim (yeah, Fullerton) has stop signs Marvin Meyers, an Anaheimer, discovered... Dave Palmerin also found the nachborstadt police on the alert... Fullerton police are watching the cross roads during school hours. Remember. A word to the wise oughter be sufficient. Hallowe'en Pageant Guest Gov. Earl Warren Anaheimer, is making quite a showing for golfers over 70... Frank (Happy) Wilsey, the Buena Park dairyman who is well known in Anaheim for his friendliness Hallowe'en Para (Continued from Page Or er group of grandstand seat on sale tonight on a first first served basis. Thompson and Mrs. Mary Jane Thammer will soon exchange wedding vows... Rudolph Wetzel, a former Anaheimer, now of Bakersfield, is a grampa... North Anaheim (yeah, Fullerton) has stop signs Marvin Meyers, an Anaheimer, discovered... Dave Palmerin also found the nachborstadt police on the alert... Fulllerton police are watching the cross roads during school hours. Remember. A word to the wise ougher be sufficient. PROFILES — Hoyt Corbit, the personable Yorba Lindan, who is never too busy to be friendly is a man really well worth knowing. The Avocado and citrus man is well known in and about Anaheim. He's the kind of fellow who makes friends where ever he goes. NOTES — George Miller, the Anaheimer, is making quite a showing for golfers over 70... Frank (Happy) Wilsey, the Buena Park dairyman who is well known in Anaheim for his friendliness and service, managed to take a week off to enjoy a brief vacation. He's a go-getter... John Cyprien, the popular Anaheim rancher, used to be quite an oilfield truck driver in the boom days... Don May, Anaheim's nationally known advertising artist, did a mighty sweet job in girdging the window murals this year. Anything that guy does is super... Fullerton footballers say: "Don't sell Claire Van Hoorebeke's Anaheimers short. They'll surprise someone." They almost surprised Fullerton... Harold Lannom is newly acquired minister of music at the Anaheim Presbyterian church. Beside directing the church choir, he will assist Rev. Howard Congdon in the church youth work... Harold Berlin, the Anaheimer who manufactures coats and suits, doesn't believe in wearing jewelry while working. It can be—and sometimes is—expensive... MEMO—It isn't too late to read the propositions that you will be asked to vote upon next week. As a loyal citizen you owe it to yourself and your country to be an informed voter. DATA—Garry Meiger, the teenage Fred Astaire who entertained as part of the Anaheim community fair program is a personable kid who'll go places in show business. His father, Harold Meiger, was Fritz Guenther's side kick at Orange and would like nothing better if either Garry or his brother, Don, would make themselves a baseball career. Incidentally, Garry helped engineer the Anaheim Midgets' downfall. He's Ed Goddard's fullback at Fullerton high... Doc John Truxaw is having trouble keeping his little black bag. The good doctor learned that it isn't wise to leave the ignition keys in a car... Ray Juarez is a booster. He was one hundred per cent for Eileen Garcia to win the Anaheim fair queen contest. Win, lose or draw, those Anaheim lovelies gained wide distinction... Gov.

Doubles Engine Life in the toughest test a motor gets! Using a new atomic research tool, Standard Oil Company of California scientists for the first time in history measured wear as it happened! They developed an oil so superior that doubles the life of average auto engines between major overhauls due to lubrication. Compared to conventional "Premium Type" oils as designated by the American Petroleum Institute, New "RPM" cuts in half the wear-rate of critical engine parts in stop-and-go driving—the toughest test a motor gets! Try it. Distributed by A. H. ROHRS ANAHEIM, CALIF. ZEnith 2518 A Product of Standard Oil Company of California ANOTHER FALSE ALARM Just as they were last week, Anaheim firemen were called out last night at 9:08 to combat another non-existent fire. Both police and fire departments, however, believe that the false alarm was not a Hallowe'en prank, but was set off by the same person who called out the Anaheim, Orange and Fullerton departments on one night last week. Last night's blaze was supposedly at 510 So. Ohio st. OUR 35-YEAR EXPERIENCE IN WATCHMAKING IS YOUR GUARANTEE SEDLOCK 113 S. LOS ANGELES STREET MRS. BELLE DORNEY, 82, thought she'd go see the Jack McElroy show "Welcome to Anaheim" broadcast from the fair yesterday so she set out for the big top at La Palma Park afoot and walked it, all the way from her 117 N. Olive st. home. She got there all right, and not only that, but she was singled out as the oldest lady at the broadcast and for this distinction, received an orchid corsage and a kiss from MC McElroy. Then she got a ride home from the local ladies, Mrs. Blair Bauer and Mrs. M. B. Reed, whom she met at the fair. Commenting on her afternoon, Mrs. Dorney said being on the radio was quite thrilling. As for her gifts, she guessed she liked the orchid best. "I'm too old to enjoy a kiss anymore," she said. Mrs. Dorney has been an Anaheim resident for the past year and one-half. She came here from Anderson, Indiana.

Citrus Merger (Continued from Page 1) trol department with up-to-date spraying equipment. Both associations have always been members of the California Fruit Growers Exchange and will continue to use the excellent marketing facilities of that organization, shipping their fruit under the Sunkist trade marks and using the Carmencita and Portola brands. With the present trend in citrus fruit toward more juice products and particularly with large outputs of frozen orange concentrate, the percentage of fruit handled in fresh fruit channels is less than it was prior to the war. This consolidation has had the unanimous and enthusiastic support of both Boards of Directors, who are old-time growers and know the fruit business. Top Whiskerino Men Selected Whiskerino winners, the city's hairstiest, were selected by judges this morning. The judges—Dude Sands and Gus Boydston of Knott's Berry place.

White Temple Sets Family Night Wednesday night, November 1, will be Family Night in White Temple Methodist Church. Another hilarious program of entertainment to delight all ages has been planned. Gania Demaree will lead group singing following the pot-luck dinner at 6:30, with Mrs. Joe Burk at the piano. The program committee has secured Al and Bill Brower, the ventriloquist and his dummy for the entertainment. Through the channels of the art of ventrilloquism they will present a humorous flow of chatter coupled with a bit of home spun philosophy. For many years Mr. Brower has been pleasing audiences by this unique method. The very nature of this presentation assures us that it will be of extreme interest to children and adults alike. An offering will be received to defray the expense of the entertainment, but otherwise guests bring table service and a covered dish to share with friends. St. Michael’s Notes All Saints Day Tomorrow at 10 Tomorrow at 10 a.m. All Saints Day will be observed at St. Michael’s Church with a service of Holy Communion. The names of all those who have passed away in the parish during the past year will be read and there will be special prayers for them. Also, either at this service or on the following Sunday, the women of the church will bring their United Thank Offering gifts. These annual gifts by all Episcopal women are in thankful remembrance of blessings which have come to them and are used for special missionary projects under the guidance of the National Council of the Episcopal Church. On Thursday, November 2 at 1:30 p.m. the Woman’s Auxiliary of St. Michael’s Church will meet in the parish hall beginning with desert. Mrs. Donald Herring and Mrs. W. T. McAllister are co-hostesses. The program under the direction of Mrs. R. A. Patrick will be continuation of the study course, "Consider the Bible." Eckel's figures show a total of $20,282,483.31 which represents an increase of $1,858,869.77 over last year's total. One—people who have an interest in beautiful and rare flowers. These people find attractive the potted camellias and cyclamen with buds which Botts has on display. Those who go for something a little exotic and strange find just this in the rare Malayan Alacasia at the garden booth under the big top. Noted for its unusually compelling fragrance, the Alacasia is extremely hard to find in Southland garden shops, says Botts. Then the Botts booth also has a decided appeal for the individual who gets the job of keeping the yard in shape. On display is a revolutionary new electrically-driven combined hedge clipper and lawn edger, just arrived this week. The tool, as Botts has been showing fair crowds for the past few days, cuts off shaggy edges on lawns and hedges in nothing flat, quick as a flash. It sells, he says, for much less than either a conventional lawn or hedge tool. St. Boniface Notes All Saints Day Wednesday is All Saints Day. Masses will be held at St. Boniface church at 6:30, 8:30, 10, 11, with the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament after the 12 o'clock High Mass until after the 7:30 evening devotions.
