IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of The Anaheim Gazette They Were Robbed! Parties who purchased lands in the Artesia settlement can now secure title from the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Land Co. for less money than if their contract had been carried out with the Artesia Co. Those persons who failed to get titles from the original owners are swindled out of their money. Hot Time on Wednesday At the meeting of the fire company Wednesday night it was decided to accept the invitation to compete for the prize offered by the Agricultural Society.

It has its quiet moments—for example, as thousands of families take their seats in the stadium, but even then a buzz of excitement hangs over the crowd. It's the climax of a week filled with a complete variety of events, during Anaheim's Halloween Festival, Oct. 21 to 28. Every big city has its top annual event. In New Orleans it's the Mardi Gras; in New York, it's the Easter Parade; and in Anaheim, it's Halloween. The Halloween Festival begins at 7:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 21, with a Kickoff Breakfast in the street, at Center and Lemon Sts. in downtown Anaheim. And new surprises are planned for that kickoff morning. During the festival week youngsters will display their artistic talents, using the windows of downtown shops for giant canvases; the businessmen get into the act, decorating interiors with goblins and witches, and normal dress is a costume—any costume, as long as it's colorful and "Hallowenish." A sidewalk bazaar will fill the streets Oct. 27 and 28, and the greatest Kiddles Parade ever held in Anaheim will march through the downtown streets Oct. 27. It all leads to the greatest conglomeration of spectator fun on the evening of Saturday, Oct. 28, in La Palma Park. A hight-packed parade, miles long, will begin in the stadium and wind its way through the downtown streets. As the end of one band marches past, another comes into view; animals, clowns/giant floats and glamorous stars fill in the gaps, in the city's biggest and fastest-paced show.

City Manager Keith Murdoch Tuesday night was ordered to look for the extra funds after councilmen approved the idea of constructing a basement under the new city library. It would hold 800 in case of nuclear attack. Councilmen authorized architects to design the proposed library with a full basement.
