ANAHEIM GAZETTE SPRING EDITION—1955 Knott's Berry Farm's Fame Spreads Yearly At one time not too many years ago, tourists who had patronized Knott's Berry Farm explained that the unique roadside restaurant was located near Buena Park. Nowadays people locate Buena Park by its proximity to the Farm. The story of how Walter and Cordelia Knott and their children built their famed establishment is inspiring as an example of cooperative family effort. It began on a ten-acre berry patch on Hwy 39, not far south of Buena Park. Mrs. Knott and the children began serving pie and coffee from a piano-case stand. From this modest beginning grew the amazing place known as the farm today. In 1934, Mrs. Knott served her first chicken dinner and the reaction was almost instantaneous—50 guests daily grew to 200, 200 to a thousand and today Mrs. Knott's kitchen serves more than 5000 persons on week days and 8000 on Sundays. In recent years, the Steak House was added under the management of Dwight Anderson, who married one of the Knott's daughters, Marion. With the combined facilities of the Chicken dining room and the Steak House, 11,000 dinners have been served in a single day. The person who desires to dine at Knott's isn't faced with the unpleasant prospect of sitting in a foyer staring at four walls while waiting for a table. Instead, he can get out, stretch his legs and feast his eyes on the most remarkable collection Southwest Americana that's been assembled in an establishment of the type. When his name is called public address system that him out wherever he might be, the spacious gounds, whet the Calico saloon, on the n gauge railway train (which runs up regularly by a gang of doosers), or while he's panning gold in the Gulch.

CENTER ST., ANAHEIM PHONE 5201 House-wide Metamorphosis Result of Christmas Gift By JOAN S. WHITE Have you ever felt the urge to junk your living room furniture and redecorate from scratch? If you have, you will understand the complete metamorphosis that has come over Mr. and Mrs. Famous Loehnig's home at 1221 East Oak st. "It all started when we gave ourselves a Christmas present of a maple breakfast set for the kitchen," the young couple explains. "It just seemed to demand cottage curtains in the dining area, a small hutch, a spoon rack, and dishes with a provincial pattern. The informal homey atmosphere appealed to us, and as we found ourselves spending more and more time in the kitchen, we began to eye the living room critically. The furnishings there were of good quality but could only be described as 'assorted' with a modern flavor. After living with them for three years, we took what was for us a big step. We decided to get rid of our living room furniture and go provincial." Professional Decorator Determined to do it right this time, Mr. and Mrs. Loehing sought the help of a professional decorator, Mr. Russell Ireland of the Smith-Reafsnyder Furniture Co. He saw immediate possibilities in the 14 x 18 foot room and in working out the decor with the Loehnigs, considered the room's northern exposure, its big window wall which looks out on the rose garden, and the entry way which is an alcove in the room at the front door. The pale green painted walls were left unchanged as the background and the wall to wall beige broadloom carpeting was o.k.'d too, accented at the entry may because the Loehnigs found them personally so appealing. A maple cobbler's bench serves as a coffee table. Magazine holder is a wood hod fashioned from brass and maple. Lighting the love seat is a brass floor lamp which swings its light in all directions and which wears a fashionable ribboned and ruffled shade. A double student lamp of brass and maple separates the twin wing chairs. Loehnig, production manager at Marco Industries, is a ceramic hobbyist in spare time. He made the pair of lamps placed on tiered maple tables at either end of the couch. They resemble a pair of cowboy boots and are antiqued ceramics set on a coil of rope. The lamps are "shaded with ruffled plaid in shades of yellow, green and brown." Homespun Carpeting Somehow the decorating spilled over into one of the two bedrooms. Equipped with rustic maplie furniture and TV set, the room has been converted into a den until the Loehnigs can go ahead with their plan of adding a den to the living room. In their mind's eye, they see a large all-purpose room with very little space. He saw immediate possibilities in the 14 x 18 foot room and in working out the decor with the Loehnigs, considered the room's northern exposure, its big window wall which looks out on the rose garden, and the entry way which is an alcove in the room at the front door. The pale green painted walls were left unchanged as the background and the wall to wall beige broadloom carpeting was o.k.'d too, accented at the entry may be a bright red oval braided rug. The whole room was immediately raised from the commonplace to the dramatic by a window dressing of very full and very ruffly canary yellow Priscila curtains made of 40 yards of material. They give the room the sunny glow so important on this cool north side of the house. Blending beautifully with this setting are a pair of wing back chairs upholstered with a woodland scene in brown and white with touches of red and green. In perfect harmony too, is the handsomely patterned love seat against the wall and the tweedy brown with white davenport. Above the davenport is a large maple framed reproduction of a lively water scene. It depicts a cable river ferry that reminds the Loehnigs of an almost identical one back home in Missouri. The picture is one of several accessories in the room that were chosen Dance Routines Filmed by FJC For Instruction Moving pictures of 47 Fullerton Union High School girls engaged in modern dance creative activities are being filmed on the campus by Earl Dysinger, photography instructor, in an experimental project to be used as an educational device for dancing students and teachers in Fullerton and other schools, it was announced yesterday. Girls who are subjects of the movie are students of Mrs. Josephine Murray, FUHS, dancing teacher, who demonstrates how the same dance problem and the same music can be interpreted differently by several groups. First step in the movie-taking process is a demonstration of ballroom steps, including the tango, by Mrs. Murray. Student groups then exaggerate her movements Girls who are subjects of the movie are students of Mrs. Josephine Murray. FUHS dancing teacher, who demonstrates how the same dance problem and the same music can be interpreted differently by several groups. First step in the movie-taking process is a demonstration of ballroom steps, including the tango, by Mrs. Murray. Student groups then exaggerate her movements and develop them into individual creations. Girls invent their own interesting groupings, making use of space, line and design in pattern form. In the beginning interpretation rhythm is supplied by the piano alone, played by Mrs. Thelma Beal. Later, in addition to piano, percussion is introduced, by Pat Vierra, Shirley Pharris, and Linda Keel, and the final step includes string instruments. Two shootings of 100 feet have already been taken, Mrs. Murray stated, with two more shootings of equal length to follow next week as dance techniques develop. Shooting is done during class hours, 9 to 10 a.m., by use of new equipment which provides for synchronizing of sound and movement. Voice explanation will be superimposed later into the film track. Final film, to last about 15 minutes, will combine music, voice and dance action of six groups of girls, some in costume chosen by themselves, and will dramatize development of the varied dance themes. Purpose of the project, in addition to its usefulness to other learning groups later, is to encourage creativity by use of senses, feelings, and imagination, and to demonstrate effectiveness of girls working together constructively and cooperatively.
