A total of 440 pints of blood were given at Autonetics, as employees donated through their North American Aviation volunteer program which makes it possible for any company employee or member of family to receive blood without charge. 'Gift of Life' Red Cross Bloodmobile Visits Anaheim Friday Friday, November 24, the day after Thanksgiving, the Red Cross bloodmobile will be at the Ebell Club, 244 N. Helena, Anaheim, from 2 to 6:30 p.m. so Anaheim residents can "Give a Gift of Life for Christmas." Statistics from past years show that the twenty days preceding and the twenty days following Christmas are the period of greatest need for blood. The people of Orange County now are using 40 per cent more blood than is being donated. This means that the people of Los Angeles County are supplying 40 per cent of the blood needed in Orange County. "With a population of 120,000 in Anaheim alone," says Mrs. Bartlett Hall, Volunteer Chairman of the Anaheim Red Cross blood program, "this hardly seems necessary. I think if the people of Anaheim knew about the need, they would come to the bloodmobile Friday and give a gift of life for Christmas. The bloodmobile is equipped to draw 240 pints of blood and it is hoped that we will have 240 donors." Call for Appointment So that there will be no overcrowding and donors will not have to wait, they are urged to call the Red Cross Chapter, PR 4-3782, for an appointment. Mrs. Hall said that, contrary to widespread belief, the donor does not give his blood to Red Cross. All of the blood, and in the case of Orange County 40 percent more, is returned to the community as whole blood, blood plasma, or other blood products. Red Cross merely acts as an agent for the collection, processing, and distribution of the blood. This is a Red Cross community service. The cost of collecting, processing, and distributing a pint of blood is $6.10. The rent of the blood is requested pay $4.10 of that cost and, in heim, the $2.00 balance is from contributions to the Anaheim United Fund. There is no charge for the blood itself. It's A Bargain "Where can you get a b bargain than that," says Hall, "especially when you pare it to the average cost $37.00 for a pint of blood from commercial bank?" Giving a pint of blood affects healthy person no more than game of golf. Anyone bet the ages of 21-60 can give it if he is healthy and weigh least 110 pounds. "The body contains about pints of blood," said Mrs. and shortly after donating pint of your blood, there will 13 pints of your blood in ence — 12 for you and one someone else to stay alive.

Dreyfus is seriously considering the properity of erecting a brick building on Center St., removing the buildings now occupied by Mr. Mendelson and Mr. Ey. He is now in San Francisco and it is expected he will write in a few days giving his decision. If he does build it will be a one story building but large enough for two stores. One of them will be occupied by Goodman and Rimpau. It is also said that Mr. Kroeger contemplates building another brick structure adjoining his hall. If these buildings do go up it will add wonderfully to the appearance of Center Street and of the town generally. PLUG FOR ANAHEIM Paul Oeker, the gentleman who exhibited the Edison phonograph here, has written a very fine letter to the Stats Zeitung about Anaheim. In one sentence he says: "Take it all in all, Anaheim is the home of contentment and happiness, gained through industry and perseverance; there virtue reigns supreme and everyone exhibits a desire to better the condition of himself and fellowmen." PAINFUL HAYRIDE S. J. Davis, well-known former resident of Anaheim, was in town yesterday. He was suffering from the effects of a fall of 24 feet from a pile of hay, his wrist being disjointed and his system being compromised. PORTED THE WIND keeping up its high-pressure exertions. For some days the weather has been warm. On Thursday the mercury rose above 90, and the oldest inhabitant said it was the hottest Thanksgiving Day he could remember. STAMP OUT HUNTERS! Don David Yorba was in town from up the river on Monday. He is engaged in fencing his property at Yorba, as are his brothers, division of the estate having been made some years ago. Tacked up at intervals along the fence are to be found notices to the effect that shooting on the ground will be dealt with according to law. Don David says quail hunters have over run the foothills in quest of game, which has been quite noisy and shots are fired in all directions, endangering livestock and becoming more of a nuisance with each recurring year. APPLE ANNIES Vendors of apples have been in town this week from Garden Grove, Compton and other points. Prices were $1.25 a box of 75 pounds and several wagon loads were disposed of. The fruit was of the pearmain variety, and the apples were sound and free from blemish. UP IN SMOKE A bar and its contents, valued at $2500, the property of Victor Montgomery of Santa Ana, were reported on Monday. The property was not insured. The building was ignited by a brush fire started by a neighbor, the high wind which prevailed fanning the flames so that they got beyond control. HENRY'S MISSION PAK Alex Henry has our thanks for a box of very fine Valencia oranges grown at Caledon Grove. The fruit is the equal any we ever tasted, and in brightness of color and firmness is entitled to the name and style of fancy brands. Mr. Henry is one of the successful orchardists Orange County and what is grown at Caledonia Grove is the equivalent of the best. MISS BACKS IS BACK Miss Kate Backs, who has been a resident of Los Angeles for a year past, has returned to her home in this city. 83 Years Age, November, 1978 GAZETTE'S BIRTHDAY On the 29th of October the Gazette entered upon the $9th year of its existence. The first issue appeared on October 29, 1870, and was owned, edited, published and printed by George W. Barter. His salutatory Mr. Barter says that out of a multitude of friends only six were optimistic enough to believe that he would succeed in this small community, surrounded by an unreclaimed wilderness. It was the unanimous opinion of his pessimistic adviser. PAINFUL HAYRIDE S. J. Davis, well-known former resident of Anaheim, was in town yesterday. He was suffering from the effects of a fall of 24 feet from a pile of hay, his wrist being disjointed and his system being generally badly shaken up. We are glad to learn that he thinks of again settling in Anaheim. RECKLESS DRIVING As Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Garey were returning home from Artesia on Tuesday evening, their carriage got off the road and rolled down an embankment. The occupants were thrown out, but escaped with a few slight bruises.

(Continued from Page One) Western Financial Group represent 8.5 per cent of the total industry in California. Formed in 1955 Great Western Financial was formed in 1955 with combined assets of $131,200,000 and in each subsequent year has reported the largest asset total for any organization of its kind. This indicates an increase of 664 per cent or a compound annual growth rate of 40 per cent during the six-year period. "The spectacular growth of the Great Western Financial Group and the industry as a whole in California has been the result of rapid population growth, higher than average per capita personal income, higher than average interest paid to savers as well as sound management and unusual progressive merchandising techniques," Pierson said. In California, the increase in savings and mortgage loans during the past decade has been almost twice as fast as for the nation as a whole.

His salutatory Mr. Barter says that out of a multitude of friends only six were optimistic enough to believe that he would succeed in this small community, surrounded by an unreclaimed wilderness. It was the unanimous opinion of his pessimistic adviser that this region could never grow as the small town was surrounded by an umbroken desert, only for the growing of cactus sage and wild mustard. Mr. Barter, however, believed that this little hamlet had a future, and made the venture. XMAS TREE LANE The holiday season always the most joyous in the whole year, to be enlivened this year by new stunt, for which credit must be given to the Merchants a new Manufacturers' association. Two hundred trees, brilliantly lighte and suitably decorated, will be strung along Center and Los Angeles street and at night when the trees are lighted, the spectacle will be a pleasing one and a reminder to all who pass that this is the Yuletide season, and that the day when Santa Claus will make his annual visit is rapidly approaching. Of savings institution and the principal source of residential mortgage loan financing. With both population and personal income in California expected to rise at well above the national average during the next two decades, the outlook for continued sound and rapid growth is exceptionally good," Pierson said.

FROM LINCOLN or 2 MILES UP Sidelights By Doris Lee If we don't do something about our front yard soon we're going to lose our daughter. She hasn't been so humiliated about anything since the time she brought a friend home and caught me wearing a print blouse with striped shorts. The main trouble with our front yard is the lawn. We had a lovely dichondra lawn at one time. Then brown spots began to appear. At the moment there is only one brown spot but it covers the entire lawn. It started when a little purple weed infiltrated the lawn and gradually elbowed the dichondra out. It grew faster than we could pull it up, so we poisoned the whole works. Everthing died, including the dichondra. And now, to add to the unsightiness we have, sitting in the middle of it like a ten-family Indian burial mound, a hill of dirt. Just a bare, ungarnished pile. It got there from the back yard when we landscaped around the pool. We just kept raking and raking, and it kept accumulating. I could swear, though, it wasn't that huge when we were through carting it to the front. I think it's propagating itself as it sits there. Linda periodically inspects the yard, kicking morosely at the mound, scuffing the dead grass and shaking her head and moaning. "I'm so ashamed. So many times I've gone past other yards if we ever had an air raid drill. Can you just see the neighbors frantically yanking open that phony door and burrowing into the dirt?" We all laughed hysterically. Except Linda. She stared out the window. I know what's eating her. She has this new boy and she refuses to have him over until the yard's cleaned up. She had her first data with him the other night, and I was wondering how she was going to get around the problem. She solved it by having him meet her at the football game. When she came in I asked her how she got home. "He drove me," she said. "but I had him drop me off at the Clinkers' house." "You told him you lived there?" I asked, wide-eyed. "Yes, I did. Their yard is presentable, at least." "That's true," I said. I pondered a moment and then added, "I guess you didn't see the sign on their lawn." "I didn't look. I notice Mike did, though. Why? What did it say? 'For Sale?'" "Yes, it certainly did. Their son has started a little business. It says, 'For Sale-Steer Manure-four bags for $1.'" Girls are so sensitive. We just kept raking and raking, and it kept accumulating. I could swear, though, it wasn't that huge when we were through carting it to the front. I think it's propagating itself as it sits there. Linda periodically inspects the yard, kicking morosely at the mound, scuffing the dead grass and shaking her head and moaning. "I'm so ashamed. So many times I've gone past other yards like this and thought, 'Yugh! Am I glad I don't live there!' And now, look. It's one of those things you think can never happen to you. And then one day it strikes." "I think you're making a mountain out of a mound." I said to her the other day. "It's not that bad. We have lovely foundation shrubs." "Who can see them behind this grotesque pile?" "It won't stay there forever, if that's any comfort to you," said her father. "I want to finish the back yard before tackling the front." "But Daddy, I can't even bring my friends here. How would I ever explain it to them?" He thought a moment. "You can tell them the lawn is the victim of Russian fall-out." "Hey, yeah!" piped up Tony. "and I have a neat idea for the mound. Tell them it's a shelter. I'll rig up an air vent and a phony entrance." Charlie began to chuckle softly. "What's the matter?" I asked.
