FUNDRAISER Bowl to help 'Strike Out' breast cancer Expanding upon its six- year Veterans Day tradition of providing free meals to serving and former service members, Applebee's will look to provide everyday household items like wash- ers and dryers and medi- cal equipment to veterans or active duty military and their families in need. Applebee's Thank You Movement will partner with the community this year by asking friends, fam- ilies and neighbors to sub- mit stories at ThankYou- Movement.com on behalf of veterans or active duty mil- itary and their families who need items that would help improve the lives of those who serve our country. Visitors to ThankYou- Movement.com can thank a veteran by writing a per- sonal Thank You message to be posted in real time on the website. On Veterans Day, Nov. 11, veterans and active duty military can choose a dish from the free menu that includes some of Ap- plebee's signature and fa- vorite items. Guests will need to provide proof of service, which includes U.S. Uni- form Services Identifica- tion Card, Retired Iden- tification Card, Current Leave and Earnings State- ment, Veterans Organiza- tion Card, photograph in uniform or wearing uni- form, DD214, Citation or Commendation. Offer is valid for dine-in only. MILITARY Fr ee meals for vets Tehama county is spend- ing more money for col- lecting additional personal taxes in a few districts than the amounts due. This was the statement to- day of County Treasurer E. I. Cullen who showed, for instance, that his office was using two cent post- age stamps in notifying taxpayers in certain dis- tricts they owed one and two cents each for taxes. He has quite a string of these small amounts com- ing to the county, and for this reason, among others, voiced the hope that con- stitutional amendment No. 6 on the ballot at the next general election would carry. — Oct. 24, 1924 90 YEARS AGO... County spends two cents to collect one Tread wearily fellow di- eter; the dark forces have gathered.Fasterthanachoco- latebatescap- ingtheflames of Hades; quicker than a skeleton- c o st u med , sugar-crazed seven-year- old can con- sume a pile of gummi booty; we have ar- rivedatthetimeofyearwhen calories assail us from every direction. One of the seemingly be- nign but more malevolent influences is the post-Hal- loween candy sale. Enter any store and be immedi- ately accosted with an over- sized display filled with foil covered peanut butter choc- olate bats, black and orange jelly beans, and "fun size" candy bars. Personally, I consider one-pound bars to be the "fun size" bars; miniatures are merely ap- petizers. But, who am I to quibble? Attached to this colossal cache of calories is a sign proclaiming, "Half Off!" Despite the activities of the previous evening, no amount of sugar crawl- ing through my veins will cause me to pass up a 50% off sale; after all, I'm over- weight, not stupid. Buy one, get one free, is a deal in which any rational per- son would partake. I there- fore purchase four bags of high-fructose pleasure — saving five dollars — ratio- nalizing it to the fact that I can freeze the treats for next year. I plan to use the five bucks for a low-calorie meal; truly, I have achieved a win-win scenario. Despite noble intentions, too many marshmallow peanut bars have melted my willpower, and the treats do not survive until next Oc- tober; actually they don't even endure the trip home. As I debate whether or not to curtain the damage af- ter 7,353 calories, the man- tra of all disillusioned diet- ers haunts its way into my caramel-coated conscious- ness, "As long as I blew it, I might as well really blow it and start dieting tomor- row." Whether 'tis the dark side of candy corn talk- ing or not, this idea makes sense at the moment and from then on, anything slow enough to get a fork into it becomes my prey. Be- fore dawn, I have consumed more calories than there are zombies walking the streets on all Hallow's eve. This continues well into the week; soon my stom- ach resembles the familiar shape of oversized jack o' lantern and my belt can no longer traverse my midline. In order to enjoy the simple pleasure of breathing, I am forced to buy three larger pairs of pants ($29 each), a new belt ($10), and a pull- over, extra-large shirt to rid me of the danger of buttons popping from my mid-sec- tion and putting someone's eye out ($23). Including tax I'm now out $153. Of course, I did save five dollars on half price candy, making my net expendi- ture $148 but that's still one scary after-Halloween sale.

POLICE LOGS REDDING One year ago, the Veterans Home of Cal- ifornia in Redding opened its doors to serve veterans and their families.
