House of Lights Celebrates 5 Successful Years They said he wouldn't last six months—but he's been in business five years now and is still going strong. That's the success story written by Barney Brodie and his House of Lights at 116 N. Los Angeles st. The "they's" in the story were people who thought Barney was making an unbusinesslike move in opening his electrical emporium. Things were rather unsettled back in 1946 when he was deciding on the move, and many thought Barney was a little foolhardy to invest in his business. BIRTHDAY WISHES for continued success were offered Barney Brodie and his House of Lights, 116 N. Los Angeles st., last week by many friends who stopped in to help him do away with the huge, five-layered birthday cake shown above in the window of the shop. Brodie established his shop and electrical contracting business here five years ago. GAZETTE PHOTO Buck and Squaw Buttons Finance Hallowe'en Fete Buck and Squaw Buttons Finance Hallowe’en Fete Buttons in the collection plate may not make the church fathers happy, but they are going to finance the 1952 Hallowe’en festival in Anaheim. Button-wearing Redskins have been button-holling Anaheimers wherever they can be caught and selling them “buck” and “squaw” buttons, which are sold in a package deal involving a seat in La Palma stadium from which to view the all-Indian show and the parade immediately after. Bill Walker, super-chief of the Buck-Button tribe handling sales, said today the plastic discs can still be purchased. A “two-buck” button entitles one to a pass to a reserved seat in the stadium, a “one-buck” button gets a seat, and “Little Injun” buttons go for 25 cents. POOR SQUAW...
