Cypress Notes (By W. C. MILLER) The holiday spirit was very active throughout this section. There were many family reunions and dinners. The most elaborate dinner was that given by Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Lamblin. They found their home too small to accommodate their friends and relatives, so they secured the use of the Masonic banquet room at Buena Park, where 63 were luncheon guests and 82 at dinner. Four turkeys, several chickens and all the other good things that go to make up a real Christmas dinner loaded the tables: Games and dancing whilied away the afternoon and evening. Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Lucas entertained the immediate members of the family with a turkey dinner. The living-room was appropriately decorated for the occasion with a beautiful tree in one corner. The tree, while large, was not adequate to the load of gifts, so there was Christmas boxes banked all about. The dinner was one that only experience and ability can concoct. A feature of the day's entertainment was the excellent music rendered by the different members of the family. An especially noteworthy number was rendered by J. M. Fontz of KFON fame. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Perry Lucas and two daughters of Riverside, Mr. and Mrs. Dan R. Williams and son of Buena Park, Mr. and Mrs. Lowell Fontz and son, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Shoebridge and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Wisley Lucas and J. M. Fontz of Long Beach, Mr. and Mrs. M. G. Hunt and son, and Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Williams of Cypress. Sixteen of the La Rue connection enjoyed a turkey dinner at the M. H. La Rue home. Mr. and Mrs. George B. Miller entertained their immediate family with a turkey spread and Christmas tree. Mr. and Mrs. G. G. Priddy were hosts to 22 friends and relatives at a dinner where turkey reigned as king. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Mackay entertained at a family reunion. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Rennie and daughter, Edna, attended a family reunion at the home of Mrs. Rennie's sister, Mrs. M. J. Sampson, in Culver City. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Fuquay entertained Mrs. Fuquay's son and daughter regiment of authors, lecturers and speak-easies from nearly every country in Europe. These talking folks from across the sea lecture us, chide us and scold us for many things. They tell us that we are aggressive and greedy, that we have cornered all of the good things of the world through the World War (although we didn't get a thing in Alsace-Lorraine, Africa or Asia Minor), and that we are maintaining a narrow policy of selfish isolation which will put us down in history as the Shylock of the twentieth century. All of this we endure patiently, without any back talk, and what is even more remarkable we often pay out our good money to go into an auditorium to hear it. Then we have a lot of "little American" clackers, who agree with these European savants, and figuratively hang their heads in shame every time the League of Nations is mentioned. Now if we were not a patient, enduring people, a great many of these lecturers might be sent home post haste and their American supporters told that if they don't like this country, there are still a few choice lots for sale in Europe. This could easily be done, for fully 95 per cent of the American people are out of sympathy with them and will have nothing to do with internationalism, if internationalism means joining in the trials and troubles of Europe. But when we hear or read all of the things which are said about us, we most of the time don't even take the trouble to answer. If we did we might be able to put up a pretty good argument about this selfish isolation thing. In the first place, we could tell them about how we helped in the war without asking any territory or indemnity in return, even at a time when the plucking was good and the defeated powers were stripped to the bone. Then we could follow this with a little statement in account showing just what we have done to help Europe since the armistice was signed. We have certainly spent a lot of money to relieve the suffering and the starving and we have done it without paying any attention to race, creed or geographical lines. We send money and food to Russia at a time when we could not even recognize its government, and we have been quick to contribute through our Red Cross whenever there has been a national calamity in any country. Sullivan Now It Pays to All Item in Paper Askets Got 1000 Daniel F. Sullivan owed a letter to a Philadelphia man months ago, requiring member of the Sullivan claim relationship written. Sullivan had not heard tives for years and yet He felt the urge to get them again. He sent an email to a Philadelphia news service he sought information on. Somehow or other, they tortured so that it conveyed that Sullivan was all else had amassed a fortune owe was just aching to throw his lap of the Irishman over his relationship.

Mr. and Mrs. Ray Mackay entertained at a family reunion. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Rennle and daughter, Edna, attended a family reunion at the home of Mrs. Rennle's sister, Mrs. M. J. Sampson, in Culver City. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Fuquay entertained Mrs. Fuquay's son and daughter and their families Christmas eve. Mr. Fuquay seated his guests in the parlor, presented each with a string and told them to follow the strings. Mrs. Fuquays string led out to the driveway, where a beautiful new Packard sedan was attached. There were many other parties and family gatherings. Old Kris Kringle was very much on the job, and it was a most enjoyable holiday season. The Chamber of Commerce at its last meeting mapped out a real campaign of activity. A committee meets this evening to select trees and organize for the purpose of planting ornamental trees from the county line east to Miller street and from Orangethorpe south on Walker street to Orange avenue. There are other important committees functioning, and much is bound to be accomplished. Mrs. C. L. Barnett and wee daughter returned home from the Anaheim hospital yesterday. The little miss has come to rule over a tribe of five brothers, and it is a safe bet she will be an absolute ruler. Kenneth Day was slightly injured and his Dodge coupe completely wrecked when he smashed into a milk truck to avoid hitting a machine parked on the highway last Thursday morning. Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Cox are driving a new Essex coach these days. Lester Monroe of Los Angeles is spending the holiday week with the W. C. Millers. Edward Seims is down from Berkeley to spend the holidays with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jorgon Seims of Holder road. ARE WE IMPATIENT? If those European editors who think Americans are boastful, bombastic and impatient in everything would only come to America, they would see that we are a long-suffering, a patient, and tolerant people. The proof is easy to find. In the first place we have in our country most of the time a veritable plucking was good and the defeated poyers were stripped to the bone. Then we could follow this with a little statement in account showing just what we have done to help Europe since the armistice was signed. We have certainly spent a lot of money to relieve the suffering and the starving and we have done it without paying any attention to race, creed or geographical lines. We sent money and food to Russia at a time when we could not even recognize its government, and we have been quick to contribute through our Red Cross whenever there has been a national calamity in any country. As the Chicago Tribune put it recently: "We have, in short, led the world in international goodwill and co-operation, and no one should know it better than the members of the so-called leagues for peace who criticize us most persistently." Yes, it must be admitted that we are a patient people. If we were not why would be stand for all the international bunk that is thraped upon us? No European national would do it if the shoe were on the other fott. Imagine if you can the supporters of Mussolini, or Briand, or Streseman, or even Lloyd George listening patiently to a lot of "applesauce" about how their country had failed to live up to its duty to humanity. Then tell us we are not a patient people. Southern California Athletic Activities Substitution of extra points earned either by first down or yardage advantage instead of the present goal after touchdown would be agreeable to Southern California officials and fans. The system employed by Coach Howard Jones centers upon offensive, and the Trojans have out-gained in both yardage and first downs every team they have met during Jones' two seasons of football here. During the past season Southern California lost the Pacific coast title to Stanford by the margin of one conversion in a 13-12 contest and suffered a blot on its perfect intersection by losing to Notre Dame by the same count. Willis O. Hunter, director of athletics, is now in New York, attending the sessions of the National Football Coaches Association, December 28, 29 and 30. He expects to cite the Trojan case to members of the rules committee. Since the Middle West and the Northwest produces more basketball players than Southern California door sports must replace leties in other sections we can continue throughout the year, as in outside sections is talkification of cage prowess Californians. If this is true, the Trojan team this season should the Pacific coast conference cause the first string is cut entirely of athletes from the nation.

WHAR DID YOURE TAP GO—ANY HOW? HE TOO LOAD O'TO KANE CITY! Sullivan Now Thinks It Pays to Advertise Item in Paper Asking for Relatives Got 1000 Answers Daniel F. Sullivan of Anaheim sent a letter to a Philadelphia newspaper, many months ago, requesting that any member of the Sullivan clan who could claim relationship write to him. Sullivan had not heard from his relatives for years and years. He felt the urge to get in touch with them again. He sent an advertisement to a Philadelphia newspaper, in which he sought information concerning them. Somehow, or other, the story was distorted so that it conveyed the meaning that Sullivan was all alone in Anaheim, had amassed a fortune of $1,000,000 and was just aching to throw it into the lap of the Irishman who could prove his relationship. Nothing could be further from the truth, but that was the tree that burst into bloom from Sullivan's advertising bud. The Sullivans rallied to the cause. They unlimbered their heavy artillery and D. F. Sullivan, who had merely sought the solace and friendship of his kinfok, became the target for much of the mall accumulating in the Anaheim office. The women sent their pictures with all kinds of claims. His "appeal" proved to him the extent of the Sullivan tribe. When Sullivan quit counting, he had piled up over 1000 letters. But here is the kernel in the nut—Sullivan found his relatives. His aunt, Mrs. M. L. Driefus, head housekeeper at The Breakers, Atlantic City, and several of his nieces and nephews were among the 1000 or more who answered his advertisement. Mrs. Driefus, her two married daughters and their husbands, her son and his wife and their family have been invited to pull up stakes from the blizzardic cast and make their home in Orange county on a citrus grove near Santa Ana. Sullivan has picked out the grove for his kinfolk and he will live there with them. And as for the other 990 Sullivans, some of whom traced their relationship to the first king of Ireland, Brian Boru, in their effort to forge the chain con- City, and several of his nieces and nephews were among the 1000 or more who answered his advertisement. Mrs. Driefus, her two married daughters and their husbands, her son and his wife and their family have been invited to pull up stakes from the blizzard east and make their home in Orange county on a citrus grove near Santa Ana. Sullivan has picked out the grove for his kinfolk and he will live there with them. And as for the other 990 Sullivans, some of whom traced their relationship to the first king of Ireland, Brian Boru, in their effort to forge the chain connecting them with the Anaheim Irishman—they need not write any more. Sullivan is satisfied. He only regrets he hasn't got the $1,000,000. than Southern California because indoor sports must replace outdoor athletics in other sections while the Southland can continue outdoor activities throughout the year, court experience in outside sections is taken as an identification of cage prowess by Southern Californians. If this is true, the Trojan basketball team this season should fare well in the Pacific coast conference race because the first string is made up almost entirely of athletes from other parts of the nation. Morris Badgro, forward, learned the court game in Kent, Wash. Charles Bone, forward, played prep basketball at Kansas City. Jack Bruner, center, received his experience In Bloomington, Ill. Bruce MacHaffle, guard, was a member of the famous Missoula, Mont., high school team of 1923 and 1924. Captain Manuel Laraneta, guard, is from Jefferson high school in Los Angeles, but his first ranking sub, Jesse Hilbsa, was a high school melon tosser at Lake Forest (Illinois) academy. Southern California expects to regain its four-man 440-yard world's record this season, according to Coach Dean Cromwell. The Trojans established a mark of 41.9 seconds in 1925, which was broken by the Newark Athletic Club in a 41.6 seconds race last season. Cromwell is placing his hopes in two sophomores—Charles Borah, who won the N. A. A. U. 100 yards title at 9.8 seconds at Philadelphia last year, after running four inches behind Charles Paddock in his 9.5 seconds world's record race on May 15; and Weldon Draper, who was timed at 9.8 seconds at Fort Worth (Texas) high school and who beat Borah consistently in practice until injured last year.

"The new income tax blanks will all be mailed out by January 1, 1927, and should be in the hands of all taxpayers within a few days thereafter, said Collector Welch, and I wish to urge upon everyone the importance of making prompt returns." Warrant Awaits Release From Pen Olive Bank Robber, Now in Jail, To Be Arrested Again The county grand jury Monday returned its second criminal indictment, presenting a true bill against Raymond Remington, charging him with robbery of the First National Bank of Olive on June 25, 1924. A bench warrant for the arrest of Remington at the completion of a term he is now serving in Folsom prison was ordered by Superior Judge E. J. Marks, to whom the grand jury true bill was presented by Foreman A. W. Griffith. The true bill was filed immediately after Deputy District Attorney Roy V. Shaffer had presented the Remington indictment before the grand jury, and had introduced witnesses supporting it. K. V. Wolff, cashier of the Olive bank, was the chief witness. Remington was recently identified by Wolff as the lone bandit who invaded the Olive bank one June afternoon in 1924 and, after engaging Wolff in conversation, suddenly drew a gun and effected the holdup, escaping with $2400. Remington was later apprehended on a charge of robbing a bank at Watts and was sentenced to Folsom. No criminal complaint has ever been issued against him. It is said, and the grand jury indictment was sought to prevent prosecution of the case from being outlawed. It is the second grand jury indictment in the county's history, the first, being returned a week ago in the case of Vern V. Pavey, wanted here for jail break.
