H. Sutherland, county health officer; and Dr. H. D. Newkirk, of Anaheim. After the matter had been discussed from every angle the board decided to postpone action until next Tuesday. The suggestion has the unanimous approval of the Orange County Medical Association, according to Dr. Newkirk. William Schumacher, chairman of the board, commended the association for its work in the past and gave his approval to the proposal. Legal aspects of the change, which the board deigned to study more carefully before taking action, were considered when it was pointed out by Walter Gregg, county aid commissioner, that it would be wise to define carefully just what the county's responsibilities would be in case the work were taken over. According to Morrow and Dr. Sutherland, the chief activity to be taken over by the county in use is based upon the proposal, would be supplying money for braces used by crippled children, and the installation in the county hospital of a physiotherapist to take care of follow up work. It was pointed out that the county already is doing considerable work along with the association in caring for crippled children. Dr. Zalsar told the board that the matter could be handled by adding about $5000 to the budget of the county hospital.

The one is "Do Your Christmas Shopping Early," and "Send Your Christmas Mail Early" is the second. Fools heed neither, but if the observance of both is proof of rare wisdom then the world is becoming wiser. It was but a fe wyears ago that the major portion of the Christmas shopping was done during Christmas week and the Christmas rush in the mails did not begin until the eleventh hour. The result was that unfavorable shopping conditions and congested mails ruined Christmas day for countless thousands. How much saner and how much more satisfactory for all concerned are the modern practices of starting the gift-buying season in early and of starting the gifts through the mails in ample time to insure their punctual delivery. Whether one looks at the question from the selfish or impersonal points of view the arguments are all in favor of early shopping and early mailing. Early shopping gives one the pick of the new and undepleted Christmas stocks, leisurely selection, more satisfactory service and less jostling. Early mailing is a guarantee of timely delivery and minimizes the dangers of damage and loss in transit. Should there be any to whom these arguments are unconvincing, let them give a thought to the merchant and a new motor car ... of all cars a new Buick ... the fullest measure of Christmas cheer you could possibly give to your family ...

George Moesser, pioneer of Orange county, died Saturday in his home in Santa Ana. Fupneral services were held at 10 a.m., Tuesday, in Cmith and Tuthill's chapel, and interment made in Fairhaven cemetery. Mr. Moesser is survived by his widow, Mrs. Mary Moesser; sister, Mrs. L. E.
