The Schwinger--DeWitt proper-time method (WKB expansion) is applied to calculate the anomaly in odd-dimensional gauge theories. The parity violating part of effective action for gauge theory in odd dimensions with massless fermion is calculated explicitly and efficiently by this method. It is shown to be precisely the local Chern--Simons term.
