Spohn, Mr. and Mrs. Hershell Jones, all of Buena CHURCH MEMBERSHIP A statement of a committee of the inter-church conference that was not clearly worded has been misinterpreted generally by the press of the country. The committee has been made to say there is a falling off in Protestant church membership of more than 500,000 annually. The writer of an article on religious discussion recently approached his subject from viewpoint. What the committee apparently attempted to say was that there is a loss of 500,000 members per year, without taking into account the fact that there are likewise 1,000,000 or more new members added each year, which is a very different story. The actual net gain in the number of communicants of all denominations, Protestant and Catholic, for the year 1926 was 489,556. There is nothing at all to be alarmed at over the fact that 500,000 out of 29,000,000 Protestant church members are stricken from the rolls each year. That would be an average of hardly more than two per year per church, for there are considerably more than 200,000 Protestant churches. The churces of the country incarcerated their membership by a number twice as great as the losses. The figures of net gains in the number of communicants of all denominations are increasing: Year Gain 1920 754,654 1921 1,013,296 1922 784,292 1923 621,630 1925 984,846 1926 489,556 The church publication which listed these figures did not include 1924, but the World Almanac places the gain during that year at 621,630. There was a decrease of half a million in the net gain during 1926. Perhaps in these figures some writers will be willing to sound a note that whereas 1922 was approximately 400,000 under 1921 in gains, the year 1925 was in turn nearly 400,000 over 1923. In 1926 there were 47,550,902 communicants of all denominations, or approximately half a million more than hundred will be year.

Drainage and flood protection were discussed. Work has already been started on the water course by the schoolhouse. Petition, signed by several hundred residents, was presented, asking that a dip be made in Grand avenue at Eighth street, and that a bridge at Fuller park be enlarged. Petition endorsed and recommended to supervisors. A committee to have charge of Manchester Boulevard Association meeting was appointed—George Trapp, John Siddall, Henry Schmitz, J. F. Simpson, John Johnson. There was a large attendance at the Eastern Star Monday evening, a number of visitors from Santa Ana and Fullerton being present. At the close of the regular session, a shower was given to Miss Florence Trapp, who is soon to become the bride of Fred Winters. An amusing mock wedding, supposed to be at Punkinville Center was given with the following personnel: Bride, Miss Anne Fisk; groom, Carl Snyder; bridecamal, Mrs. Ruth Hunt; groomsman, James Kilgore; bride's mother, Mrs. B.

At the close of the ceremony a "rainbow" was brought in with a "pot of gold," which proved to be baskets of gifts, at each end. Over 2000 Buicks in One System Alone The Hertz Drivurself Corporation, which controls the operation of more than 300 automobile rental stations throughout the United States and Canada, has decided upon a substantial increase in the number of Buicks among its fleets, according to word from C. W. Litsey, of Chicago, vice-president and general manager of the Hertz organization. The move was actuated, Mr. Litsey explained, by a steadily rising demand for Buicks among Hertz customers. George F. Howard, Buick distributor for northern Orange county, said that the first purchase of Buicks for the Hertz stations was made little more than a year ago. Today there are more than 2000 Bucks in the Hertz service, and the number is entirely inadequate to the need. More than 200 are in use in New York alone, and Chicago is not far behind this figure. Practically every city in the country where the Hertz stations are now operating is slated for more Bucks, of which several...

"Buick made an immediate hit with our customers," said Mr. Litsey. "As soon as the public learned that Buicks were available at our stations, the range of our business began to widen rapidly. Salesmen, family parties, and business houses developed the habit of renting the various Buick models, and today there is more call for this make of car than for any other car we operate. "We use various Buick models and find a demand for all of them. Salesmen usually prefer coupes and roadsters because of the ample luggage space for the carrying of grips and sample cases. Real estate firms use the sedans to carry their prospective customers on inspection trips, while Buicks of all models are in demand for theater parties and other evening engagements which require a car of distinguished appearance as well as outstanding performance. "Like our customers, we are delighted with the new 1928 Buick models. Many of them have already been added to our fleets in various cities and others will be added from time to time to supply the existing demands. Their beauty, style, and riding comfort insure a constant demand for them, which is gratifying us as it must be to Buick. "It has been doubly gratifying to us to enlarge our Buick fleets, for Buick has proved an exceptional car from our viewpoint as owners and operators. Its case of control makes it a very safe car to operate, and minimizes damage claims and repair bills. It is economical of upkeep and extremely reliable." QUERIES AND ANSWERS Q—What is the total number of Protestants and Catholics in the world? A—Protestants, 170,900,000; Roman Catholics, 272,500,000; Greek Orthodox Catholics, 121,801,000. Q—What causes flames of fire? Why does it tend to go upward? A—Flames of fire are produced by the union of one gas with another that surrounds it. A flame is merely the combining of gases at a temperature which causes them to become luminous. As these gases are lighter than air, they are constantly in the process of rising in air, consequently the flame Big Bakery to Be On the Boulevard Having purchased a site at the juncture of Placentia avenue and the state boulevard, adjoining the Orange county fair grounds, the Weber Baking Company, big Los Angeles baking concern, announces plans for construction of an Orange county plant on the property. According to James W. Costello, president, construction work is to commence at once. Plans have been completed for a two story brick structure with ornamental front. The building will be 85x150 feet. Location of the plant in Orange county is another step in the county's industrial life, coming after thorough investigation of the county's possibilities as a rapidly expanding industrial center, according to Costello. This is the second bread manufacturing plant to be built in Orange county, another factory having recently been opened in Santa Ana. In laying out our plans for the location of a bakery and distributing center for our rapidly growing Orange county trade, we investigated various sections of the county in order to determine the most convenient point from which to render maximum service to dealers in getting Weber's "Mity-Nice" bread delivered to them fresh twice daily," said Costello, discussing the new location. "The site we have chosen on the state highway between Anaheim and Santa Ana is ideal from this standpoint. We wanted a central location to be in the heart of the growth of industry and population that is taking place now and that will continue in the future." As far back as two years ago the officials of the Weber Baking Company had planned a bakery to serve Orange county. We were impressed then, as we are now, with the progressive spirit Oil Tanks Burn at Huntington Beach Strange Man Supposed to Have Perished in Flames One man is believed to have lost his life, two others were burned, one perhaps fatally and the entire Huntington Beach oil fields endangered by fire which broke out on the C. E. Hall lease, Huntington Beach. The blaze started when an oil tank on the Hall lease overflowed onto a boiler, sending flames sweeping through the field and causing damage estimated at between $16,000 and $20,000. A stranger, who was seen walking near one of the tanks just before the fire, is believed to have been trapped, probably perished in the flames. The man has not been seen since, and the ruins were being searched today in an effort to find the body. J. E. Marable, 35, an employee on the lease, was rushed to the Long Beach Community hospital, where it was said he was so seriously burned that he may die. His father, J. Marable, 208 Elthth street, Huntington Beach, suffered minor burns. The fire destroyed two tanks, each containing 1500 barrels of crude oil, an oil rig, and the home of Lee McDowell, situated nearby. Huntington Beach firemen, together with reserves sent from Long Beach and other cities, battled the flames for several hours before they could be brought under control. of the people, the thriving communities and the possibilities for future growth. Fate stepped into the picture however, for a fire at that time destroyed our Los Angeles plant, and it was necessary to delay our plans for a plant in Orange county." Q—What is the total number of Protestants and Catholics in the world? A—Protestants, 170,900,000; Roman Catholics, 272,500,000; Greek Orthodox Catholics, 121,801,000. Q—What causes flames of fire? Why does it tend to go upward? A—Flames of fire are produced by the union of one gas with another that surrounds it. A flame is merely the combining of gases at a temperature which causes them to become luminous. As these gases are lighter than air, they are constantly in the process of rising in air, consequently the flame produced by the uniting of these gases tends to go upward. Q—Are there any restrictions as to aliens owning property anywhere in the United States? A—In general it may be said that this may own property in the United States under the same terms and conditions that apply to American citizens. The rights are governed by state law or federal laws. In cases, states have limited the right of certain aliens to hold property on the case of the Pacific coast states. It limit the right, or prohibit the ownership of property by Chinese and Japanese. Q—What is the meaning of the name "Marion"? A—It is a form of the Hebrew "Mary" and means "bitter."

Steady California Industrial Growth Southern California’s industrial progress continues to hold the interest of those who study business conditions. There is a steady growth in all of our communities, and particularly in those where attention is focused on manufacturing. In the reports of the Edison company the demand for electricity for power purposes stands out as the most significant item of the year, writes R. H. Ballard, manager of the Southern California Edison Company. Present indications are that the total amount of new business on the Edison system for 1927 will exceed 200,000 horsepower, of which considerably more than one-third comes under the head of "industrial." That a number of large factories and also a multitude of smaller enterprises have become established in Southern California recently is indicated by our statistics, which show a total of 2138 power meters set in the last 12 months. The total connected load of the Southern California Edison Company as of September 1 is 1,581,751 horsepower, a gain of 131,453 horsepower in eight months since January 1. Of this, 400,-000 horsepower is classed as "industrial"—a very healthy figure for a section which has been called a playground. It is still a playground, to be sure, but it is also an industrial center which is attracting the attention of keen-eyed business men throughout America. Next to industrial power, the most significant items in our reports are those which show the increased use of electricity in the home. Electric ranges with a total demand of 31,000 horsepower, have been added in the last 12 months. Our sales department is now working on the full range campaign with the expectation of selling 1000 electric ranges in six weeks. Electric refrigerators, water heaters, vacuum cleaners, washers and ironers have also enjoyed splendid sales throughout the year and in all parts of the territory. These two items, of power in industry and in the home, show that electricity is constantly receiving greater recognition as the agency which is taking the drudgery out of our lives. I was amused recently to read that the shoe manufacturers plan to urge our people to "wear more shoes"; apparently our lives have become so luxurious that we do not wear out our shoes as fast as we should. Judge Appleton, vice-president of the General Electric Company, who visited in Los Angeles last week, reminded us that the electrical market grows wider year after year; that there is no apparent limit to the sale of labor-saving devices and that the constantly advancing standard of living will continue to demand a greater use of electricity. For example, the recent interest in aviation is showing a market for electricity that has not existed until recently. Generous illumination is required at airports. Aerial highways will soon be marked by bright beacons and many other applications for electricity, such as in radio, will accompany our advance in flying. In the oil fields the demand for power is an increasing one, as the advantage of this silent power becomes recognized. Only last week, more than 2000 horsepower in motors were added to our lines. Highway lighting is receiving a great deal of study at present, and it will not be long until plans for the complete lighting of all our major highways are made public. These will be welcomed by motorists because of the added safety of night driving which adequate lighting affords. Looking ahead, I see nothing but increased business for the electrical industry and increased prosperity for all our territory because electricity has become an indispensable factor in our lives—at home, in the office, factory and shop—even in our play. thriving communabilities for future need into the picture, at that time degeles plant, and it delay our plans for county."
