It is called "The Heavenly Host," and the best histrionic talent in the church has been chosen for the cast. It is perhaps the most beautiful and impressive pageant ever presented by the church at the Christmas season. It is a story of the nativity, and is a most convincing visualization of the Scriptures on this theme, producing a beauty and simplicity with its atmosphere of reverence and worship seldom equaled. The platform scenes are wondrously beautiful, it is claimed. The music is thrilling with its interpretive power and melodiousness. There is absolute fidelity to the Bible narrative of the birth of Christ, with angelic manifestations as the keynote. Choir Leader Percy W. Olds is director of the pageant. It was written by Lyman R. Bayard. Every Christmas season the White Temple church presents an entertainment suitable to the day, but this is said to be the most beautiful and elaborate ever undertaken.

Other city councils and the directors of all of the sanitary boards identified with the community outfall must approve the contract before it becomes operative. The disposal company is no pay $700 a month for the service, and pay 5 percent of costs that may come because of necessary repairs to the outfall line. The agreement may be terminated upon 90 days' notice by either side. The Waste Water Disposal Company is an active company for a group of oil companies in the Brea fields, and was created specifically for the purpose of dealing with the communities involved in the outfall sewer program. The company will build its own sewer line from Brea to a connecting point with the outfall just outside the city limits of Fullerton. A skimming basin large enough to hold accumulations of the field for 15 days will be built, and all water going into the sewer line will be absolutely free of oil, according to representatives of the companies—and use of the sewer is contingent upon absolute elimination of oil from the water. Reports were presented from T.G.Goudey, representing the state board of health, to the effect that analysis of the water from the oil fields had shown that the waste water in no way would be injurious to the line.

The two men who were killed were Leon P. Sarthou, 513 East Cedar street, Brea, and J. E. Anderson, Brea, next door neighbor to Sarthou. The two men were about 30 years of age, and both were married. Sarthou having one child. Sarthou was an oil worker for the Union Oil Company. Anderson was also employed in the oil fields near Brea. According to an autoist who saw the accident, Sarthou, who was driving, was travelling at a high rate of speed. As the car reached a curve in the road, it swerved into a tree, one wheel was knocked off and the car skidded about 40 feet. The auto was completely demolished. According to a mechanic at a garage, to which the car was towed, the accident was caused by the breaking of the drive shaft. It was also said the strong wind might have been responsible for the tragedy. The bodies were removed to the J. E. Seale funeral parlor, where an inquest was scheduled to be held by Coroner Brown. ANAHEIM ALERT TO CAPTURE MURDERER SLAYER OF PARKER GIRL SOUGHT BY OFFICERS AND CITIZENS All Roads in County Guarded, and All Possible Hiding Places Combed; Every Car Passing Through Being Stopped and Inspected; Two Suspects Arrested by Anaheim Police and Held for Vagrancy on Monday THE most intensive manhunt ever inaugurated in Orange county began Saturday, when news was flashed here that $3 Lawsuit Lost By Plaintiff in Court Battle THREE DOLLAR lawsuit over a suit of clothes, in which the names of Adolph Tannenbaum and Abraham Granas, of Anaheim, are mentioned as the vendors, had a short history Tuesday when Superior Judge E. J. Marks told H. Wentzlaff, attorney for the plaintiff, that he had decided in favor of the defendant, A. V. Narath. Judge Marks showed no signs of pleasure at the appearance of a $3 case, and argument for the plaintiff were cut short. Narath is alleged to have bought a suit from Tannebaum and Granas and to have failed to pay the final $3 on it. He contended that the merchants from whom he bought it had refused to alter it. He wore the suit Tuesday in court and observers detected signs of too tight a fit. The case was appealed from the Anaheim justice court. Tannenbaum and Granas had assigned their claim for $3 to H. Koeppe, who brought the suit. He also asked $10 for collection costs.

Government hened two quantity of life Sunday Press Recei AND CITIZENS All Roads in County Guarded, and All Possible Hiding Places Combed; Every Car Passing Through Being Stopped and Inspected; Two Suspects Arrested by Anaheim Police and Held for Vagrancy on Monday THE most intensive manhunt ever inaugurated in Orange county began Saturday, when news was flashed here that Marion Parker, the 12-year-old daughter of Perry M. Parker, Los Angeles banker, had been brutally murdered and mutilated by the fiend, who kidnapped her from the Mount Vernon school, at noon, Thursday. Officers were on the alert from the time they were notified of the kidnaping, because of the possibility that the man might seek safety from the city police by flight with his victim into the rural districts, but when news came that the fiend had delivered the child's dismembered body to her father, after receiving a ransom of $1500, the search was on in earnest. Every member of the sheriff's force, every police officer of the various cities, and every township constable took the field. This force was augmented by hundreds of private citizens, who volunteered to assist in the hunt. Motorcycle officers patrolled all the county roads, while other men searched the wild places where it is possible for a man to hide. Not in all its history has the county been so thoroughly combed in quest of a fugitive. All roads entering the county were guarded at the border, and every car passing was searched. A volunteer company of young men, armed with clubs, patrolled the roads leading into Anaheim all Saturday night. Anaheim police Monday arrested a man and women who had taken an apartment in a West Center street rooming house Friday night, and held them on suspicion. Their fingerprints were taken and sent to Los Angeles. The woman was arraigned before Justice Stark and was sentenced to 30 days in jail on a charge of vagrancy. She gave her name as Esther Mae Moore, and admitted she was not married to the man. The man gave his name as Arthur L. Rice. He was held for further investigation. Officers were posted on every road in Southern California, and every car appearing on the highway was thoroughly searched. Ted De Nyse, limotype operator on The Gazette, was stopped twice on the Anaheim road Tuesday, and his car searched. He drives a Chrysler coupe, an exact counterpart of the car in which the murderer carried the body of the girl to her father. After the search he was permitted to pass, as he did not answer the description of the murderer. Other Anaheim people report a similar experience. As a matter of fact, no car passed over the roads of Orange county since Saturday night that was not overhailed and inspected by at least one squad. Honor Bestowed on Retiring Officer White Temple S. S. Creates New Dignity for G. M. Tedrick George M. Tedrick, who has served for seventeen years as general superintendent of the White Temple Methodist Episcopal Sunday School, declined reelection at the annual election of officers last week, and Perry W. Mathis was chosen for the position. In recognition of his long and faithful service, the nominating committee, of which Charles Eyrabroad was chairman, created a new dignity and bestowed it upon Mr. Tedrick, which was embodied in a special resolution and adopted by the Sunday school. He is now superintendent emeritus. The resolution is, in part, as follows: "First—We wish to record our unanimous expression of gratitude and thanksgiving to God for this faithful man whose daily life has been the best and highest Bible lesson possible to give our youth. Second—It must be known and understood that his release from this duty is his own initiative and strongly expressed request. Otherwise, additional years would be added to these seventeen of fine service to God and humanity in Sunday School leadership. Third—White Temple Sunday School wishes to hereby record this further expression of the outstanding and successful leadership as General Superintendent of Bible work as given by Brother Tedrick, and assure him of the profound respect and deep affection felt for him by every student, from Cradle Roll on through every department of the entire School. The little children love him as a father; the youth and young people feel and value his Christian character, and the adult life know his true worth as a man and a Christian. Fourth—This Committee believes now that a new office should be created and that the honor is most worthy merited, and therefore request that Mr. George M. Tedrick be elected and known as White Temple's Superintendent." FRIDAY EVENING Anaheim and Fullerton Fire Companies Battle With Fast Spreading Blaze, but Are Unable to Check It; Other Buildings in Neighborhood Charred, but Saved by Fire Fighters; Santa Fe Box Car Consumed AT HALF past six Friday evening a call came to the Anaheim fire department, asking assistance in extinguishing a blaze which was raging in Olive. For a half hour or more a glare in the eastern sky indicated that a fire was raging somewhere in that direction. One of the trucks immediately responded to the appeal, as did also the Fullerton department. They found that fire, which had originated in the Olive Heights Citrus Associations' packing house, had communicated with the plant of the Olive Hillside Groves Association and had gained such headway that both houses were doomed. Both crews fought heroically, but their efforts were in vain so far as the two big frame structures were concerned. The fire burned rapidly and soon reduced them to a smoldering mass of cinders and ashes. A Santa Fe freight car, standing on a switch near one of the houses was also destroyed. Other buildings in the neighborhood were considerably damaged by the intense heat. A church close by was scorched, and the Clement Lumber Company's warehouse was damaged to the extent of $1000, but firemen prevented its bursting into flames. A fertilizer warehouse was also charred, the damage being estimated at $200. Telephone poles were burned and wires wrecked, causing considerable inconvenience by disarranging the system. It is difficult to estimate the total damage. The Olive Heights building was worth $65,000, and the Hillside Grove plant at $35,000. The door of the safe in the former house was found to be open; the heat, it is presumed, having caused it to burst open, and all the books and records were destroyed, but there was no money in it. Defective wiring in the Olive Heights house was the only possible explanation of the origin of the fire that could be found. The blaze is said to have originated at the west end of this house, near that part of the building in which the office is located. When it was discovered, about 6:30 p.m., the flames are already to have gained considerable headway. Elmer Heim, attendant at a Union Oil Company service station nearby, is credited with turning in the alarm which brought out the fire departments of Anaheim and Fullerton and a corp of volunteer firemen from Orange. A sprinkler system under the roof of the Hillside house held off the fire from that building for a time, but before the fire fighters had arrived, the flames had licked their way under the caves and soon the conflagration was on in several days.

As a matter of fact, no car passed over the roads of Orange county since Saturday night that was not overhauled and inspected by at least one squad. In addition to the guards at the border entrances, motorcycle cops were constantly on patrol duty. Sheriff Sam Jernigan was in command of all the forces in Orange county, and he made the search of the county a thorough job. FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS Fullerton high school football team will meet Bakersfield at the coliseum on Tuesday afternoon, December 27, to decide the high school championship of the state of California. Fullerton defeated Santa Maria for the Southern California championship at Wrigley field, last Saturday afternoon, 20 to 13. In the first quarter Santa Maria had the best of it, the ball being in Fullerton's territory practically all of the time. In the second, Santa Maria maintained the advantage, the Orange county lads putting up their poorest game of the season. In the third and fourth quarters, Fullerton showed its superiority over the up state men, and won handily. It missed its fourth touchdown by inches as the game ended. Bakersfield defeated San Mateo on Saturday afternoon, on the latter's field, for the championship of the north, by a score of 14 to 0. Bakersfield overwhelmed the northerners, who made a very poor showing against the state champions. Johnny Hawkins of Fullerton, former captain of U. S. C. varsity football team, will assist Shorty Smith, and great hopes are pinned to the Orange county boys. Many football enthusiasts from Orange county will attend the game to root for the local champions. Wahlberg Speaks To Kiwanis Club Orange County Water Problem Theme of His Address Harold E. Wahlberg, county farm advisor, was the speaker at the Kiwanis luncheon Tuesday, his subject being the conservation of water. He declared that this was the most important problem confronting the people of the county. Orange county, he stated, led the entire state in the production and value of agricultural products last year. Wahlberg further asserted that this county led 2500 counties in the United States in value and ratio per acre of production last year. He cited San Bernardino county with 13,000,000 acres compared with Orange county's 508,000 acres, as one of the counties surpassed by this county. In speaking of the need for conservation of water, the speaker declared that every 14 newcomers to Orange county require one acre-foot of water per year, and he pointed to the dangers confronting future generations unless steps were taken to save the water which annually flows into the ocean. A. W. Franzen outlined plans for the community Christmas tree program to be given in the open air auditorium at the city park Friday night. DEATH OF G. G. BEEBE Agent Eden of the Union Pacific received the distressing advice by wire, on Wednesday morning, that G. G. Beebe, whom he succeeded here as agent for the company several weeks ago, had passed away at Barstow, some time after midnight. Mr. Beebe and his wife had been in Anaheim several days, having come in from the desert for a short visit here. They left on the return trip at 6 o'clock on Tuesday evening, arriving at Barstow at midnight. Advices from that point early the following morning were that Mr. Beebe had suffered another stroke and had passed away shortly after his arrival. Mr. Beebe came to Anaheim to be the first agent for the Union Pacific on its coming here, August 23, 1923. He made many friends and was held in high esteem by all with whom he came in contact. Several months ago he sustained a stroke of paralysis, and decided to move to the desert in a vain attempt to recuperate his health. He had been living near Barstow with his daughter, and made an occasional visit to this city. He was here with his wife first of the week, and left for the desert on Tuesday evening. His death occurred on his arrival at Barstow at midnight. He leaves a wife and daughter. His death will be sincerely regretted by all who knew him. The body arrived on Thursday morning, and is at the mortuary chapel of Backs, Terry & Campbell.

ETTE ANAHEIM—YOUR CITY Founded by German Colonists, 1857 Assessed Value, 1925, $10,500,000 School System Valued at $951,000 Number 11 ENTS SCHEDULED 8 Rum Ships Reported Off County Coast EIGHT big ru mships loaded with Christmas cheer destined for Southern California are anchored about 200 miles off the coast of Orange county, according to reports brought in by fishermen. The rum fleet took up its stand off the coast a few days ago, but the vigilance of coast guards has prevented any large amount of the illicit liquor reaching shore. It is declared. Several small shipments of liquor have been landed in the vicinity of Sunset Beach, and several near Santa Barbara, according to Major McKeynolds, government dry administrator. Dry agents are keeping a vigilant watch along the coast of Southern California, according to reports, and dry officials have declared that it will be impossible for the rum ships to unload their entire cargo before Christmas. Government dry agents apprehended two men and captured a quantity of liquor being landed near Sunset Beach a few days ago. ANAHEIM WELLS SHOW RAISE IN WATER LEVEL RECOVERED SOME INCHES FROM LOW LEVEL OF THREE YEARS AGO V. W. Hannum’s Record Shows That Level in Anaheim Wells Now Stands at 96.63, a Raise of Five Inches Since September Last Year; Good Rainy Winter Will Further Help by Stopping All Pumping Plants THE situation relative to the water level in the wells of Orange county has been greatly improved during the past few Fruit Nipped by Severe Cold Snap But Lowest Temperature Here Was 10° Above Danger Following severe damage to fruits and trees, citrus fruit growers were battling the hazard of further damage by Jack Frost. For the first time this season growers in the Tustin district just after midnight lighted their smudge pots, and smoke hanging over that city. Tustin growers with heater equipment started fires about 1 o'clock, and a general lighting followed a frost warning by the blowing of the siren of the Tustin fire department, according to arrangements made to have the fire equipment used in case of temperatures lowering to a dangerous point. In the opinion of experts, it is more than probable that oranges and lemons in unprotected orchards in some sections of the county suffered damage. Anaheim city reported a minimum of 36 degrees. The thermometers lowered to 25 degrees in the Tustin district, and to 26 in the West Orange section, according to reports received. It was pointed out that juice in oranges will freeze if the temperature remains for any length of time at 28 degrees or below. The loss sustained by citrus growers in Orange county by the two recent desert wind storms and by the frost cannot be determined at this time, but it is conceded that it is heavy. The crops in the county will be light as compared with normal. Investigations have revealed to fruit men that the wind storm of Saturday and Sunday knocked thousands of young oranges from the trees in the county and that the area over which the damage from wind extends is larger than in any previous year when the desert storm has damaged crops. The wind of two weeks ago burned many trees, but the storm of the last week-end was not as damaging in this V. W. Hannum’s Record Shows That Level in Anaheim Wells Now Stands at 96.63, a Raise of Five Inches Since September Last Year; Good Rainy Winter Will Further Help by Stopping All Pumping Plants THE situation relative to the water level in the wells of Orange county has been greatly improved during the past few months, according to the superintendent of the city's power plant, Vard W. Hannum, who keeps a record of the rise and fall of the water in the municipal wells. When the first wells were dug in this territory, more than half a century ago, the underground water was only six feet from the surface, but the increasing number of pumping plants, following the steady increase in population, gradually lowered it, until two or three years ago it dropped below 100 feet. Much alarm was expressed at the situation because it was feared that should it continue to drop until it went below sea level, salt water would force its way in and ruin all vegetation. The heavy rains of last winter, however relieved the situation, and from a level of 191.25 recorded in September, 1925, it now stands at 96.63. A wet season this year will further raise the level, although it will be many months before the rains that fall this winter can have any effect on the underground supply, except that it will relieve the wells because of the cessation of pumping for irrigation. According to Mr. Hannum, the Anaheim underground channels do not begin to derive any noticeable benefit from the winter rains until the following September, when the seepage begins to find its way into this vicinity. When followed by unusually heavy rains such as have visited this section this winter, the result is distinctly noticeable. The effect of these heavy rains is revealed in the demand for water as shown in the number of gallons pumped by the city plant. Last month 23,000-000 gallons were consumed as against 31,890,000 gallons in November last year. July was the peak month of this year. During that month 53,230,000 gallons were consumed. There has been a steady decrease since that month. August showing 48,119,000 gallons; October, 36,257,000; and November, approximately 23,000,000 gallons. The low spot in the demand was reached last February, when only 18,-000,000 gallons were pumped. If the present ratio of elevation continues and there is no unforeseen or unexpected increase in demand for consumption, the levels should reach a new modern record before the natural demand increase is felt next spring, according to Mr. Hannum. All Prepared for Municipal Tree Santa Claus Will Distribute 4000 Presents to Kids Tomorrow Anaheim's Community Santa Claus is to make his one and only appearance this year in the new Greek theatre in the city park the evening of December 23. Flans for remembering more than 4000 kiddies with gifts from a gigantic Christmas tree have been rounded out by the recently formed Anaheim Christmas tree committee. That all of these gifts will be called for and that nearly as many grown up "kids" will be attracted to the event, is the opinion of the committee members. The event is being sponsored by the Anaheim Lions, Kiwanda and Rotary Clubs, co-operating with the city council and representatives. Thirty Girl Scouts gathered at the city hall to aid in packing the children's gift boxes, which will contain candy, peanuts, walnuts, apples and toys. A 30-foot Christmas tree is already in place on the stage and is to be illuminated tonight. Community singing led by Reginald Taylor, well-known Anaheim baritone, is to be one of the outstanding features of the program. The sing will follow a concert by the Anaheim American Legion band. The band program will commence promptly at 6:45 o'clock, it is announced.
