Before Sheridan had introduced his resolution, J. L. McBride, engineer on Section 1, reported that no complaint had come from Huntington Beach since November 16, and that large chlorination plants have been installed with which to eliminate the hydrogen sulfide gas which had caused trouble along the coast. McBride also reported that one of the settling basins had been covered to prevent gases from reaching the air and that pumping of sludge will be done only in the day time in the future. The engineers committee is expected to meet early next week to decide upon its recommendation, and open the way for a called meeting of the entire executive board.

Sale of Yuletide Seals Progresses More Than $3100 Received at End of Last Week; $442 From Anaheim Receipts from the 1939 Christmas Seal sale passed the $3400 park Saturday, according to a report received from the office of the Orange County Tuberculosis Health association. In Anaheim 42.40 has been received. While early returns are tendered generally satisfactory, officials of the association are apalling for the cooperation of every section of the county in order to assure the success of the campaign. "Purchase of Christmas Seals could not be considered a charitable contribution to the support of a few unfortunates," A. J. Brickshank, Santa Ana, treasurer of the association said. "It is a definite investment in safeguarding yourself and members of your family from the spread of tuberculosis. The work of our association is along preventive and educational lines, and a great deal our efforts are devoted to finding early cases of disease." "Tuberculosis is one of the most costly of all diseases. Not only is the period of treatment long and expensive, but the fact that it strikes in the prime years of life, between the ages of 15 and 35, means that family incomes are cut off when they are most needed. The economic loss to society, due to the high tuberculosis death rate among this younger age group, adds to the costliness of this disease."

Leaguers to Hear Dramatic Reading "Tuberculosis is one of the most costly of all diseases. Not only is the period of treatment long and expensive, but the fact that it strikes in the prime years of life, between the ages of 15 and 35, means that family incomes are cut when they are most needed. The economic loss to society, due to the high tuberculosis death rate among this younger age group, adds to the costliness of this disease." The program of the Orange County Tuberculosis & Health Association, designed to reduce the large number of deaths among adolescents and young adults, includes the conduct of a weekly early diagnostic chest clinic the year-round at Christmas Seal Headquarters, 112 W. Fifth St., Santa Ana. Public health nurses, physicians, and school officials are urged to use the clinic to a larger extent in checking on the health of everyone and especially those known to have been exposed to infection or whose infection is indicated by ya positive reaction to the tuberculin skin test. Intensive educational programs are also a part of the year-round program and the association is doing everything financially possible to aid in the curing and keeping cured those found to have active tuberculosis rehabilitation. Carelessness in working on disused vehicles parked on highways of the state resulted in 176 persons being injured and 24 deaths in 1938, says department of motor vehicles. Construction in County Advances November construction in Orange county cities surpassed the mark of the previous month, when totals for the 12 cities reporting were $320,939, according to the Orange County Builders Exchange. During October, the totals were $307,929. Fullerton, Laguna Beach, Newport Beach, Seal Beach and Orange all showed substantial gains in November over October. Santa Ana fell only slightly below, dropping from $98,091 to $98,000. The rural building boom dropped from $65,658 in October to $51,627 in November. I believe the first test of a truly great man is his humility. Ruskin.

Here are some new suggestions which may be of assistance: Silhouette a Christmas tree against a blank wall or plain front door. Cut a tree from composition board, place it upright in front of a spotlight which throws the tree's shadow upon the door. The shadow may be made to fit the surface by adjusting its distance from the spotlight. If your porch has white columns, light them in color from concealed spotlights at their bases.
