The Gemco Department Store has been developed on a 10-acre plot offering ample tree parking for its snoppers. It represents a total investment of almost $2,000,000. The store is completely air-conditioned has uniform fixtures throughout and is designed in a new concept to provide both beauty of display and complete self-service selling.

Gemco is operated on a membership basis, and has announced creation of a Charitable and Scholarship Fund which will be made available for worthy causes and deserving students. This fund will be administered by a board of advisors comprising Gemco members, headed by Councilman Pat Arnold of Cypress.

The windows on business houses in all areas of Anaheim have been offered to the youthful artists and they have certainly taken advantage of the merchants' generosity. The paint, of course, is only water colors and will soon wash off the first day of November. Much easier than soap or wax. Recreation Parties Parents who wish to calm down their little "ghosts and witches" after a full Hallowe'en evening of trick or treat, will find refuge in a special program planned by the Anaheim Park and Recreation Department this Friday night. Following the trick or treat hours (6 to 8 p.m.), the Park and Recreation Department will open five of the city playgrounds for short bonfire parties conducted by the Recreation leaders at Thomas Edison, Mattie Lou Maxwell, Clara Barton and Abraham Lincoln. The bonfire parties, according to Supervisor Don Arnett, "are designed as a culmination of the school program and to give the children a chance to settle down after their evening adventures." The five bonfires will be lit at 8:30 p.m. to signal the program's beginning, which will feature primarily an evening of community singing and getting acquainted. The entire family is urged to take part at one of the five locations and relax with their neighbors. The bonfires will conclude at 9:15. All City Elementary after-school playgrounds will be closed Friday afternoon to allow time for the schools' costume parades.
