FACTS ABOUT THE CITY OF ANAHEIM Population 13,000 Assessed Valuation $12,266,185 Building Permits 439,832 VOLUME LIX ANAHEIM ARRANGEMENT ORANGE COUNTY PREPARES FOR HOLIDAYS ALL CITIES TO ORNAMENT STREETS WITH THE SEASON'S GAY COLORS Spirit of Yuletide Pervades Entire County; Wires for Lighting Anaheim's Sidewalk Xmas Trees Placed in Position on Tuesday; Trees in City Park Also to Be Lighted; Preparations Are Going Forward for Beautiful Municipal Tree Here All communities in the county are making preparations for unusual activities during the holiday season, and one of the most joyous Yuletides ever Tells Why Gifts Should Be Sent Early This Year "Although the advice to mail Christmas packages early is the usual accompaniment of the pre-holiday season, there is an imperative need for following this admonition this year, because Christmas falls on Tuesday," said the postmaster this week. "The day on which Christmas comes makes a great deal of difference about deliveries. Christmas coming on Tuesday means a heavy concentration of deliveries on one day. Everything that comes Sunday and Monday will have to go out Monday or held over until Wednesday, for the postmaster general has issued an order to all postoffices that there will be no deliveries on Christmas Day except special deliveries. "In our office arrangements will be made to make deliveries every day of the holiday period except Sunday and Christmas. We will meet whatever congestion occurs. However, anyone sending mail from here must keep in mind the probability of delays along the way. I would advise everyone to mail their All communities in the county are making preparations for unusual activities during the holiday season, and one of the most joyous Yuletides ever experienced here is expected. It has been a year of prosperity in the county, and already it is apparent that the people are disposed to be liberal in their purchases of Christmas goods. Several towns are preparing street decorations and municipal trees, and efforts will be made to see that every child receives something from Santa Claus. In Anaheim an elaborate program of street decorating has been outlined and trees about 10 feet in height will be used in front of the business places. Several trees in the city park will be strung with lights and a committee from the Kiwanis club are making plans for the big tree which will be placed on the stage of the Greek theatre. Wires were strung along the streets Tuesday for the purpose of carrying the juice to light the trees. Two hundred of them have been purchased by the merchants, and they will be planted in the flagpole bases in the sidewalks. These trees will be suitably decorated, and when lighted will have a pleasing effect. The trees are to be planted on Center street, from Philadelphia to Helena, and on Los Angeles, from Sycamore to Broadway. Huntington Beach will have its municipal Christmas tree and, Main street will be strung with colored lights. Orange merchants plan to line the street of that center at the plaza with Christmas trees. The great five-point pine at the eastern entrance of the plaza will be lighted every night of the holiday period. Fullerton is said to be planning to duplicate the usual holiday dress dressed in other years when trees gaily decked, have nodded to each other across the wide streets of that city. In Tustin Fred Schendenman has decorated a lovely cypress in front of his home in Main street for a number of years. The tree has attracted the attention of many passersby, and this year it is said a number of other residents of Tustin are planning to follow the example set by Schendeman. Orange and Santa Ana are also planning something unusual. Orange, it is reported will join with Anaheim and Fullerton in street decorations. Anticipating a big trade the merchants have all laid in heavy stocks, and it appears their faith has been justified. Already there is considerable buying by the wise shoppers who believe in making their selections before the stocks are depleted. There will be a last-minute rush, however. Project on Foot to Eliminate Tolls Endeavoring to Get Free Phone Service for County Cities The possibility of dividing Orange county into two telephone zones and eliminating city-to-city toll charges within the new areas is being considered by a committee of seven men, appointed Saturday at a general telephone conference, at which J. J. Deuel, head of the law and utility department of the California Farm Bureau federation, brought the situation to the attention of 25 representative citizens. The committee will work on the question with telephone company officials and with the railroad commission.

Johnson, secretary of the Orange Chamber of Commerce; S. S.

Walnut Growers Plan Institute at Whittier Orange county walnut growers will be interested in the announcement made by the executive committee of the Inter-County Walnut Department of the Farm Bureau that the next Walnut Growers' Institute will be held at Whittier on Saturday, February 9. John Thille of entura was re-elected chairman of the Department last Saturday at a meeting of the executives at the Walnut Growers' association, Los Angeles. J. M.

Dwyer, Anaheim; and Harold E. Wahlberg, farm advisor. A resolution commending the State Department of Agriculture for its efforts in stopping the spread of the new walnut husk maggot, which has established itself in the Chino district, was sent to Director G. H. Hecke, Sacramento. This beat has almost completely ruined the crop of walnuts in some orchards of that district. The University of California Experiment Station is working out best methods of orchard control. Engineers Rhodes and Fry, of the telephone division of the railroad commission, were present at the Saturday session. Earl Morrow, district manager of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company, also attended and outlined the basis of rate schedule making. Assault Frustrated By Woman's Cries Mrs. H. G. Wilson Attacked in Her Own Home Sheriff's officers have been searching for a man who is alleged to have made an attempted attack on Mrs. H. G. Wilson, of Anaheim, while she was alone at her home. Mrs. Wilson reported she heard someone drive into the driveway of her home, located four miles west of Anaheim on Broadway. She went out on the front porch and a man in a small car asked her the way to Santa Ana. She told him, but he said he did not understand and got out of the car and walked to the porch. He explained that he was deaf. She repeated her instructions and he then said to have grabbed her. Mrs. Wilson screamed and attracted the attention of her husband, who was working in a field nearby. He started running to his car and got away before the license number of the machine could be secured. A watch was maintained on roads leading from the place and into Santa Ana, but the man was not seen again. Building permits for the month of November showed an increase of nearly $16,000 over those of October. October permits reached the total of $30,945 and those of November were $46,925.

All whose occupation permitted ceased their labors, practically all business houses There has been some improvement in the flu situation in Orange county, but many new cases are reported to the county health each day. The disease has not been as violent as it was when it made its first appearance ten years ago, most of the cases being mild, and the most severe ones easily handled by the physicians. Only three or four deaths have occurred it in the county, whereas when it devastated this section in 1918 several hundred victims fell before it. Only one death in Anaheim was attributed to this disease so far. Although 356 new cases were reported in the county Monday, county health officials are optimistic. Dr. Ben K. Parks, assistant health officer, pointed out that the reports covered two and one-half days instead of one day and that a number of reports contained cases accumulated for a week. Looked at in this light, the situation is unchanged, he explained. Santa Ana reported 97 cases; Irvine, one; Talbert, three; Fullerton, 45; Placentia, 13; Anaheim, 13; Wintersburg, two; Huntington Beach, nine; Costa Mesa, nine; Tustin, one; Westminster, four; Orange, one; La Habra, 144, and Brena, 14. Dr. Parks stated that the La Habra report covered all of last week.

Other schools in the county which had been closed, including those in Fullerton and Anaheim, were planning to reopen. It was reported. Five nurses in the Orange County hospital were suffering from influenza, and according to information, others have it but have not yet been forced to bed. Those unable to report for duty were Esther Dunn, Helen Orsek, Mary Derry, Maxine Bolander and Gertrude Frisch. None of the cases was reported as serious. All the schools of Anaheim were closed last week, but after a discussion with Dr. K. H. Sutherland, county health officer, Saturday, superintendent of the grammar schools decided to resume the work Monday, and Principal J. A. Clayes of the high school was of the same opinion, consequently all the schools in the city, with the exception of St. Joseph academy opened the first of the week. "Dr. Sutherland made it plain to me," said Mr. Gauer, "that he does not believe in closing schools in cases of epidemic, unless it becomes necessary to close places of business and to prevent public gatherings," said Mr. Gauer. "Here in the schools we have a chance to watch the pupils, and to know their condition. If they appear to be alluring we can see that they obey this law." The people of Anaheim generally obeyed the president's proclamation and observed last Thursday as a day of thanksgiving for the bounties showered upon them during the past year. All whose occupation permitted ceased their labors, practically all business houses were closed and a large percentage of the inhabitants trekked to other points to enjoy a change of scenery, the balance staying in their homes discussing the family turkey or goose, or whatever it was that would best suit the appetite of the family. Hundreds of birds fulfilled their destiny and yielded up their lives that day—the day of feasting and thanksgiving. Pumpkin pies, mince pies, plum pudding and all the trimming were also consumed in large quantities. Nearly all the churches observed the day by joining in a union service at the White Temple Methodist church. Nine denominations participated in the services. Rev. Thomas H. Walker of the Presbyterian church, being the chief speaker. "Possession of today provides a common ground for thanksgiving." declared Rev. Walker. "neither wealth, prosperity nor health provide such a ground," he added. The Rev. Walker quoted from the Thanksgiving proclamation of President Coolidge, likening the text to David's call to the people of Israel in thankfulness to God for goodness and mercy. He urged that trivialities, worries, false objectives and fear be thrown aside and a grateful attitude taken toward the great bequests civilization has left us. "Thank God for today. For its tasks that grow out of the doings of yesterday. Tasks that must be met today for a worthy tomorrow!" the pastor declared. "It is ungodly to fret or chase at anything when we know God rules all things. Thank God for the resources of today, and face today with Christian courage!" The program was opened with an organ prelude. "The Mayflower," the selection being followed by a choral number. "Prayer of Thanksgiving." The Rev. L. T. Barkman, Calvary Baptist church minister, made the invocation. A scripture reading was given by the Rev. Benjamin S. Haywood. The congregation sang the hymn, "Materna." Scripture readings in Spanish and German were made by the Rev. Antonio Jimenez, and the Rev. B. C. Voll, respectively, of the Spanish mission and the German Methodist church. A thanksgiving prayer was offered by the Rev. Clayton C. Root of the Christian church. It was followed by a solo selection, "Song of Thanksgiving," sung by Percy W. Olds. Several months.

According to Buckles, Perris, Jimminez and another Mexican, named Joe Samodie, were drinking together. They started walking down the railroad track when Jimminez was hit over the head and then stabbed in the back. The fight started over an argument the men are asserted to have had, according to Buckles, who scouted the idea that the attack was made on Jimminez in a robbery attempt. Big Liquor Haul At Buena Park Fifteen Hundred Gallons of Wine Seized By Officers Fifteen hundred gallons of red and white wine were confiscated and one man was arrested in a raid conducted on a Buena Park Dairy operated by Jim Alponte, 41, late Sunday afternoon by deputy sheriffs and members of the Fullerton police department.

The liquor was found in seven different places, according to Harry Carter, one of the raiding officers. One vat, in which the wine was made had a capacity of more than 1000 gallons. Officers had been scouting the neighborhood of Buena Park for the past several days. In an effort to locate the supply from whence came gallon after gallon of wine, and it was through the Fullerton police department, which followed a tip that led to the location of the wine.

B. West, Jr., will result in great benefit to both counties with a general tightening of law enforcement, District Attorney West announced after a conference with Pitts. West talked with the new Los Angeles county prosecutor especially as regards the activities of the gambling ship Monfalcone, which is said to be anchored off the Orange county coast. Both men are of the opinion that state statutes could not be invoked to prevent the ship from operating on the high seas, but the law books are being combed to find a law that will prevent any traffic with the California shoreline. Inasmuch as Fitts has taken a strong stand for the strict enforcement of the prohibition laws, West said such an attitude was bound to have an effect in Orange county and the entire Southland, as the outlying counties sometimes serve as "feed- COUNTY BOARD TO CONSIDER PLANNING FIRST PETITION ASKING COMMISSION PRESENTED BY COSTA MESA LIONS Action Taken Following Speech By George W. Reid. Who Recited the Benefits of the System to Communities; Other Civic Bodies Will Join in the Movement; No Opposition to Plan Is Apparent at This Time The movement for the establishment of a planning commission in Orange county is gaining supporters and it is practically certain to go through. Civic bodies are endorsing it, and it is not apparent that anybody is opposing it. The matter will be presented in a few Health Officer’s Report Optimistic Condition in Orange County Is Satisfactory, He Said Along with other attractive features, Orange county can truthfully boast of the health of its citizens. A survey of contagious diseases over a 12-month period compares favorably with any community of similar population in the country. Further, a consideration of the number of deaths occurring from contagious diseases, as compared with other communities, shows that the people of this district are most fortunate. As previously published, Santa Ana had the lowest infant mortality rate of any city in Southern California, and furthermore, there were no maternal deaths. In order to help maintain this health situation as a fact, Orange county employs two full-time physicians and seven public health nurses in a program of disease prevention and health promotion. This group is evenly distributed over the entire county for routine duty, but whenever occasion arises it constitutes a movable health unit, which is organized to handle an epidemic in any community where it might arise. In controlling contagious disease, it is necessary not only to isolate the known cases, but to search out the contacts and place them under supervision during the period when they are likely to become cases and so spread infection. This is a large part of contagious disease control and during the past 10 months has, along with the visits to cases themselves, necessitated 12,128 home visits. If it were not for the recent prevalence of influenza or "flu colds," which are difficult to control in any way except by securing the co-operation of the individual citizen, we could say that at the present time the county is practically free from contagion and has remained so much of the past year. The influenza situation, from most recent reports in the health office, is more encouraging than it has been for several days past, with a lower number of cases reported. Monday 137 were reported with 20 from Santa Ana. In addition to these things cited, the Orange county corps of health work- The movement for the establishment of a planning commission in Orange county is gaining supporters and it is practically certain to go through. Civic bodies are endorsing it, and it is not apparent that anybody is opposing it. The matter will be presented in a few days to the supervisors and the point of the commission asked by the Lion's club of Costa Mesa. This is the initial move by civic bodies, and will be followed by many others. The determination to file such a petition followed a speech delivered Tuesday night by George W. Reid, secretary of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, on the subject of planning. Mr. Reid, who is an enthusiastic advocate of the planning system, recited the benefits to be derived by the county should it be adopted, and all who listened to him apparently agreed with him, consequently it was unanimously voted that a resolution should be prepared for presentation to the county board, asking that body to appoint the commission. That cities in Orange county have done much in city planning and that it now rests with the county to continue a comprehensive planning scheme started by the various towns, was the declaration of Reid. He stated that traffic problems of the county alone forced a need of planning. Reid cited the Manchester and Century boulevard projects connecting Orange county with Los Angeles. He was also referred to the development of a major highway connecting Anaheim and Fullerton and other northern points with Costa Mesa and the harbor district. The need of major highway systems to speed up transportation was stressed by the speaker. He told roads in the East which had been laid out on the plan of "the shortest distance between two points is a straight line." While the matter has not yet been presented to the supervisors it is not believed there will be any opposition to it when it is considered. Bar Discusses Changes in Court County Association Considers the Matter at a Dinner Approximately 35 members of the Orange County Bar association met at a dinner Tuesday night, at which time possible changes in superior court procedure were discussed. The meeting was called by Leonard Evans, of Anaheim, president, at the suggestion of Supervisor Judge James L. Allen, who Changes in Court County Association Considers the Matter at a Dinner Approximately 35 members of the Orange County Bar association met at a dinner Tuesday night, at which time possible changes in superior court procedure were discussed. The meeting was called by Leonard Evans, of Anaheim, president, at the suggestion of Supervisor Judge James L. Allen, who will be presiding judge in 1929, succeeding Superior Judge H. G. Ames. The association voted in favor of shifting the date for hearing law and motion, probate matters and criminal arrangements from Monday to Friday. Superior Judge E. J. Marks reported on the recent state bar convention in Pasadena and stated that it is expected changes in the rules of the state judicial council regarding court procedure may be made before January 1. Certain phases of judicial council rules, which went into effect here August 1, have been found inapplicable to Orange county conditions and authorization has just been received by Presiding Judge Ames to set cases for more than 15 days ahead. Another means of avoiding difficulty was seen in the probability that criminal matters, law and motion hearings and probate business which formerly could be bearded only by the presiding judge, may be transferred to other departments if those courts are not trying cases. B. Z. McKinney, Santa Ana attorney, expressed to judges of the three superior court departments the appreciation of attorneys for their efforts to make court procedure as convenient as possible. One sure sign of prosperity is that the man who used to buy a nickel cigar can now afford to spend ten cents for the same cigar. Now that the campaign is over we recall the fact that the only fellow who wasn't mentioned in it was General Apathy.
