The home was beautifully decorated with Marigolds and roses. This meeting, the second of the new year, was one of marked importance in the history of this society. The question of changing the name of the society had been on the table for discussion since the first meeting of the year and Thursday was the last meeting under the name of the Ladies Mutual Aid Society which has stood for a grand work of improvement and charity in this community for 31 years. But as all things must change the members felt that a greater and broader work in the future lay in community improvement and social circles, so it was an unanimous vote of all members present that in the future what has been POMONA HIGH WINS ORANGE BELT MEET AT S.

But as all things must change the members felt that a greater and broader work in the future lay in community improvement and social circles, so it was an unanimous vote of all members present that in the future what has been known as the Ladles Mutual Aid Society will be the Buena Park Woman's Club. The club hopes to enter the county federation in the near future and later be a member of the state federation. After the interesting business meeting the hostess served dainty refreshments to conform with Easter. R. O. Duncan was a business visitor in Los Angeles Friday. Mrs. R. H. Myers, with daughter, Ruth spent the week-end at the home of her sister, Mrs. Leslie Connelly, in South Los Angeles. Buena Park folk were much alarmed Friday evening just after dark, especially the fire chief and his staff, when the fire warning was heard and a large blaze seen at the north outskirts of the little city. All who could, including every automobilist in the community, rushed in mad haste to the fire finding it to be a large brush pile, burning just north of C. L. McComber's grove. The Boy Scouts were the first to see the flames and gave the fire warning. It has been some time since the fire department has been on real duty and it was a good chance to try out the new chemical tank. The P.-T. A. will meet at the school hall Tuesday evening. All members are invited to be present. Mr. and Mrs. Skytte expect to leave for their home in St. Paul Tuesday. Mrs. Skytte has spent the past year here with her daughter, Mrs. J. H. Page.

REGISTER YOUR DISCHARGE PAPERS Following former wars many discharged soldiers have lost their discharge papers and not infrequently denied government rights due them, it is suggested that discharged soldiers protect their future interests. It is being urged that all discharged soldiers have their papers recorded in the county court house. This will insure a permanent record from which a certified copy may be obtained at any time, no matter what happens to the original document. To those who intend to send their papers to Washington it would be of advantage to have in addition to the above a photographic record made. HERMAN LAWE BACK FROM FRANCE; SAW FIERCEST FIGHTING Herman W. Lawe, former Anaheim boy, for a number of years employed by H. H. Gardner in the feed business, arrived here Saturday direct BUILDING PRICES REASONABLE; HOUSE DEMAND INCREASES There has never been such a demand for houses as there is today, and with the growth that Anaheim will make within the next few months the housing situation will continue to be an acute problem. The principal reason for this condition is that the public mind believes that building material prices are excessively high and that there is going to be in a very short time a drastic reduction. Accurate statistics have been gathered by the government which shows this idea to be absolutely erroneous. Building material prices have advanced on the average only about 25 per cent over the pre-war prices, and as labor, fuel oil and freight rates enter so largely into their basic cost it is going to be a long period before there is any considerable reduction, the only possible exception being a few lines for which there was an unusual demand during HERMAN LAWE BACK FROM FRANCE; SAW FIERCEST FIGHTING Herman W. Lawe, former Anaheim boy, for a number of years employed by H. H. Gardner in the feed business, arrived here Saturday direct from France. Lawe went over in June and was caught in the maelstrom rushed to Chauteau Thierry where he was in the thickest of action with a bunch of fighters from the Keystone state to which he had been transferred. He got his share and more of the fiercest fighting between that time and the signing of the armistice. He was in the hospital several weeks following concussion from high explosives. He will spend sometime recuperating in Anaheim with his mother, Mrs. Miss Lawe, and sister, Mrs. Edward Sluaughter, when he plans to return to the gold mine at Kingman, Ariz., in which he is interested with a number of other Anaheim men and where he was engaged before entering the service. HOSTS TO SHERWOOD MUSIC CLUB SAT. William Heger and Guy Duckworth were hosts to the Sherwood Music Club Saturday afternoon at the home of William Heger, 125 Zeyn-st. These boys showed the rest of the club (18 girls) how well they can entertain by this delightfully planned afternoon. First was a short business meeting, followed by a very enjoyable musical program. A clever musical guessing game was then enjoyed, after which pictures of the club were taken. The subject for study at this meeting was "Practice" and each member gave helpful ideas on how to practice. Miss Schwentker also read an interesting article by Emil Sauer on "How I Practice the Piano." Last but not least was the abundance of delicious refreshments which were thoroughly enjoyed by all. SPINDLES BREAK OFF While motoring thru Santa Ana Canyon Sunday, the front spindles on the Studebaker touring car driven tice have been gathered by the government which shows this idea to be absolutely erroneous. Building material prices have advanced on the average only about 25 per cent over the pre-war prices, and as labor, fuel oil and freight rates enter so largely into their basic cost it is going to be a long period before there is any considerable reduction, the only possible exception being a few lines for which there was an unusual demand during the war. It is interesting to note that the greatest part of the buildings in Los Angeles were constructed when prices were higher than they are today. The lumber has sold for $32 per thousand, compared with $27 per thousand today; cement at $4.50 per barrel, as compared with $2.58; roofing, $2.25 per roll, compared with $1.80. The reason for this is that because of war conditions the building trades have had to cut their prices to a minimum so as to offer all possible encouragement for construction. The building trade in Southern California's largest industry, and an intelligent understanding upon the part of the consuming public of these facts will go a long way toward improving general business conditions. An active real estate market is absolutely dependent upon active building, and anyone who walks for a drastic reduction in prices before building will not only wait a long while, but will suffer a loss in doing so on account of interest, taxes, loss of rent, etc., whereas to BUILD NOW will not only be a good proposition for the builder but also for the community. W.C.T.U.MEETING AT ORANGE TUESDAY The Orange County W.C.T.U. convention will be held in Orange on Tuesday, April 8, in the Christian church, starting at 9:30.
