'Over Back Fence', New Gazette Feature, Ta BY ANITA ROBERTSON "Over the Back Fence" is the first in a series of weekly columns devoted to friendly chit-chat about you and the family next door. Each week the Gazette photographer and I will drop in and visit with a few of you to discuss the weather, your family and your hobbies. We started out the other day with pencil, paper and a camera. Our first stop was 220 N. Olive, we knocked and to the monotone of news analyst Bert Wheeler on the radio, we were asked to come in by a gentleman with lively blue eyes and snowy white hair. F. H. Betts is 75 years old and has spent 54 years of that time in Anaheim. He told us about Anaheim's early days, when there were only "11 saloons, two wineries, a brewery, a livery stable, two hotels and board walks—It was a drinking town then." Prominently displayed on the shelves and walls of the Bett's home are pictures and relics of by-gone days. Mr. Betts came to America 64 years ago from Chelsea, England. His wife, Emma, has been alling for many years now, he told us, but still manages to keep a spotless home and she does the cooking. "I draw the line at cooking," was the strongly stated opinion of Mr. Betts. Then coming back to more active days he reminisced about the local ball clubs that were organized and played near-by towns, "BUSY GRANDMA"—Mrs. Mary Garrett was in the process of tending granddaughter Laurene's basic needs when we arrived. Watching with curiosity are grandchildren Marie Nugent, on a chair for a better view, and Carol Louise Nugent.

He announced a membership drive to begin Feb. 28 with a breakfast at the home of Bob Cole in Buena Park. Officers wives will preside over the meeting the 20th of March for Ladies Night.

He was followed by Joan Terry, who gave a talk on the meaning of 4-H. 4-H project reports were given by Sally Calder and Floyd Holland. Floyd has a champion 4-H steer at the Western livestock show in Los Angeles. A cake-walk was staged by the 4-H club members last night to raise money for their club.

Archie Stoddard, talented student of Anna Seigel, presented two piano selections, "Elise," by Beethoven and "Sonata" by Haydn. Ann Allen, a student of Lois Rees Auer of Santa Ana, offered three selections. Welcome was extended by the Rev. Harry Stief and was followed by vocal numbers from a sexet including Mrs. Phillip Engbretson, Mrs. Pat Crawford, Mrs. Raymond Heinze, Mrs. Herb Heinze and Mrs. Peppard. Henry Schimming and Mrs. Leland Hansen accompanied them. Concluding the program a male quartette gave several numbers. Included were Herb Heinze, Marry Theuson, Elroy Hempken and Art Michael. club leader, after she showed slides on the Orange County 4-H work. Mr. Betts came to America 64 years ago from Chelsea, England. His wife, Emma, has been alling for many years now, he told us, but still manages to keep a spotless home and she does the cooking. "I draw the line at cooking," was the strongly stated opinion of Mr. Betts. Then coming back to more active days he reminisced about the local ball clubs that were organized and played near-by towns, when he played on teams with Tom McFadden, Henry Hetebrink and some of the other oldtimers. Mrs. Frank Garret opened the door of 218 N. Olive and strove to answer our inquiries amid the clamoring of two young grandchildren. Mary Garrett is a "very busy grandma." When hobbles were mentioned she exclaimed, "Hobbies, certainly! I no more than raised my own two, Margaret and Don, than I had my hands full with their children. It seems that I've always had my arms full." Margaret Nugent came in out of the kitchen then and sat down to help her mother out. All the time Mrs. Garrett talked, she gently rocked Margaret's youngest to sleep. Mrs. Garrett is a member of St. Michael's Episcopal church. She said, "church work is one of the most important things in my GEORGE WASHINGTON Birthday, February 22 Musket Handy and Powder Dry When the call came to join the army under General Washington, the Colonist was well armed and prepared to do his duty.

Stanton Lions to Meet with Anaheim Stanton Lions Club met Monday night at Anne's Cafe, 9021 S. Stanton ave., for dinner. Royal Martin, secretary, showed movies about George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Washington D.C. The next meeting will be Friday, March 9, when the group will be co-hosts with the Anaheim Lions, for the run off of the local national speaker's award. Contestants sponsored will be from the Anaheim Union High and Marywood Central High schools.

When hobbies mentioned she exclaimed, it certainly! I no more used my own two, Married Don, than I had my all with their children. It that I've always had my all. Nugent came in out kitchen then and sat down other mother out. All the ms. Garrett talked, sheocked Margaret's young-keep. Garrett is a member of Israel's Episcopal church. "church work is one of important things in my life, along with my husband and family." She is a choir mother, has taught Sunday school and is a member of the church Women's Auxiliary. Her husband, Frank, is super-intendent of an oil house in Wilmington for the Sunset Oil co. He has been with them 23 out of the 25 years they have lived in Anaheim. Both Margaret and Don graduated from AUHS and it looks as if their youngsters will be doing the same. Speaker for many other young wives and mothers is Mrs. Leroy Shultz of 214 N. Olive. Her husband, Sgt. LeRoy B. Shultz, left Sept. 1 for Camp Cooke with the National Guard to instruct recruits, and it is now up to her to bring up their young son, Dennis LeRoy, age almost four, and keep things going at home until his return. A happy thought came to her when she remarked "at least he gets to come home almost every other weekend." That's more than many wives get to see their husbands, now. They bought their home three years ago, just two years after their marriage, and were very happy here. Their parents live here and they both attended school in this vicinity. The only thing marring her happiness now is "the absence of my husband and the indecision concerning the future. We don't know how long he will be here and where he might be sent. If he is sent to another place, I guess we'll go there." Mrs. Shultz doesn't just sit around idle and dreaming, though. While we were there she showed us some of the work she has done with a gifted hand. Needlework of all types furnishes her with a hobby and a diversion. Her latest work has been "punchwork." She explained that it was done with heavy yarn and used mostly on velvet pillows and to make pictures for framing. Unfortunately, most of her work was so successful that she has given a good deal of it away. She did have some lovely tablecloths to show us. Some were embroidered and the punchwork technique was displayed on one coarse linen cloth, designed with candlewick yarn in bold red, white and black. She had this particular cloth on the dining room table at the time and beside the complementary effect on the room, it proved its usefulness and practicability when little Dennis spilled a glass of water on the cloth. It retained it's color fastness and showed no trace of the accident. Ershal Morris of 210 N. Olive started our conversation off with "I didn't know I had so many friends in Anaheim until I went into business for myself about four months ago." Mr. Morris is a member of one of the older families of Anaheim, and the real estate business runs in the family. His wife, Allie Mae, is employed by the Alex Tamale co., and his youngest daughter, who just recently announced her engagement to Clarence Heinrich, is employed at Knott's Berry Farm. Two older daughters, Mrs. Betty Rae Pina and Mrs. Ercel Mae Blelefeld, have two and one children, respectively. The whole family lives in Anaheim. The Morris' were married 29 years ago and have lived here for 2S years. They came from Texas originally. Retrogressive Dinner for Club Dinner did an about face for members of the Couplets club recently when the group enjoyed a backward progressive dinner in charge of Mr. and Mrs. John Lynn and Mr. and Mrs. Bob Hall.
