LET US BE THANKFUL With the close of our valencia marketing season and the disappointment of lower returns than early season hopes had held forth we come to the time of assessing our actual position. The early chill of winter is creeping over the world. In France, the suffering to come was presaged last week by a coal ration limiting families as large as nine persons to 430 pounds for an entire month. Not only cold, but hunger and malnutrition and resultant disease, must be the ordeal for millions in a score of nations. No American family, not even the humblest and poorest, need look forward in dread of starvation and exposure. Rearmament costs may thin out the luxuries in American life; but our sick will be cared for and, our destitute fed and clothed. In Europe, governmental changes are being made monthly by ruthless decree at the point of the sword—with victors hunting down minorities like animals, with freedom of thought and speech and political action abrogated and sneered at. In America, 50,000,000 citizens have just completed a major decision on government—divided so evenly in opinion that the minority is hardly 5.000,000 fewer than the majority. But no blood has flowed. The ranks of citizenry have closed up to march on united—the minority accepting the decision with good will, because no man in consequence of his stand is affronted, or silenced or penalized, or forced to abandon his convictions on right and truth. Between the Headlines By Fleetwood Lawton AN HISTORIC TRIUMPH—his latest report to the British house of commons on the state war, Winston Churchill referred to Hitler's failure to invade the British Isles as an historic triumph. Clearly does this show that, in his own mind, the British prime minister regards the Battle for Britain as having been won, even though still warns his people against laxing their watchfulness. Although it is still barely possible that the invasion of England will be attempted, this must be considered as more than unlikely as the attention of the axis swirling with steadily increasing emphasis to the southeast. The very considerable intensification of marine warfare, the revelation that at least one pocket battles of the "Graf Spee" class is large in the Atlantic are unattakable signs that Hitler is resigned in the north, to rely upon the slow procession of bloody. And it is more than doubt that the United Kingdom can shut off from access to almost unlimited supplies from overseas especially since it appears that nazis' available forces are sufficient for intermittent spurtful intensive activity, while Britain ability to strengthen the escort. by ruthless decree at the point of the sword—with victors hunting down minorities like animals, with freedom of thought and speech and political action abrogated and sneered at.

In the new, modern cities of youthful America, young men strive lustily in football suits, and carefree children play joyously in the bright sunlight of school yards. Many among us have worries and unhappiness—business troubles, unemployment, illness, and plain tough luck. But unfortunate indeed must be the American who, contrasting the situation of himself, his family and his country with the grief and horror and privation beyond the seas, cannot give spontaneous and hertfelt thanks on Thanksgiving Day of 1940. NEW CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE Now that the people have spoken and the partisan feeling abated we can look forward hoping for better government from our elected officials. We need not go out of our own state to find a basis for our hopes. In fact, if our new state legislature functions properly we can be assured of some betterment. Here are our ideas for a finer California: For President Pro Tem of the Senate—Jerrold L. Seawell of Roseville, the incumbent. For Speaker of the Assembly—Gordon H. Garland of Tulare County, the incumbent. That two-party slate, providing for the re-election of present presiding officers in both houses of the State Legislature, seems virtually certain to win approval of a majority of the lawmakers when they convene in January for their 1941 session. Senator Sjawell, a Republican liberal of the Wendell Willkie stamp, was first elected President Pro Tem of the Senate in January, 1939, and has served in that capacity during one regular session and four special sessions. A former railroad worker, with strong labor backing, he was unopposed for re-election to the Senate this year, despite efforts of Governor Olson’s forces to get a candidate into the field against him. Assemblyman Garland, a middle-of-the-road Democrat, who was marked for “purge” by Governor Olson, but won out handily over the Governor’s candidate, was elected Speaker of the Assembly in January, 1940, when the lower house revolted against Olson and dethroned Paul Peek as Speaker. Mr. Garland, a farmer, has been a vigorous opponent of Governor Olson’s spending and tax policies. Both Seawell and Garland were active in organizing the bi-partisan Economy Bloc in the Legislature, which effected a coalition between Republicans and conservative Democrats to stand off the Governor’s demands for $50,000,000 in new taxes—and which forced a cleanup in relief administration that has already brought about a saving of millions of dollars in public funds. Legislators who are urging re-election of the Republican President Pro Tem in the Senate and the Democratic Speaker Churchill pointed out that only are the 50 destroyers recently purchased from the United States now entering service, but also considerable numbers of light motor craft upon which construction began soon after the outbreak war, should be nearing completion. For Britain, the outlook is well out question brighter than at time since hostilities began. Royal air force, which has given excellent account of itself again overwhelmingly superior number is growing in power by leaps bounds. The hundreds of thousands of young men who were ordered to the colors after the collapse of France, should now be completing their training, re-to man the guns, the tanks, planes which in steadily increasing numbers are pouring out for the factories of Britain—the fruits of the speed-up in British industrial production which did not begun until Churchill succeeded Chamberlain as leader of government in London. And it is for Britain that this is case, for a wide extension in area of conflict is obviously able to take place. ONE-WAY PARTNERSHIP There are clear and increased signs that Hitler is reaching conclusion that there is no reason why he should divide his Balkan spoils with Mussolini or any else. In Jugoslavia the governor has reportedly begun the anti-imperial imprisonment of all the leaders of the pro-Italian Faction group, the outward symbol of sudden stiffening in Belgium attitude toward Italy. That would have been done with some kind of assurance that a step would not bring upon the Jugoslav nation the mediate wrath of Hitler so unlikely. There remains very obvious possibility that if the apportionment developing anti-Italian Both Seawell and Garland were active in organizing the bi-partisan Economy Bloc in the Legislature, which effected a coalition between Republicans and conservative Democrats to stand off the Governor's demands for $50,000,000 in new taxes—and which forced a cleanup in relief administration that has already brought about a saving of millions of dollars in public funds. Legislators who are urging re-election of the Republican President Pro Tem in the Senate and the Democratic Speaker in the Assembly—and who are seeking to prevent partisan contests for the two key offices—contend that such a course will be a powerful factor in maintaining the present bi-partisan alignment for economy. Still another argument which is being put forward in behalf of the two-party slate is that it will make for a greater degree of cooperation and harmony in the Legislature at a time when the defense crisis calls for unity and the elimination of factional differences. Calvary Baptist Men Enjoy Stag A dinner and program presented by and for men of the Calvary Baptist church last Thursday evening were enjoyed by a group of approximately 100 men. Guest speaker of the evening was Rev. Charles Durden of Pasadena, long-time personal friend of Rev. Earl Berg, pastor of the Calvary Baptist church. Rev. Durden's subject was "Brother Scotsmen." Taking part in the entertainment were Roger Acton and Donald Hess, who played a trumpet and saxophone duet, accompanied by Robert Feree; Ed Campbell, vocal soloist, with Miss Betty Jean Hanson at the piano, and Jerry Arnold, who sang a group of cowboy songs, accompanying himself on the guitar. Dinner arrangements were under direction of Frank Schumacher of Buena Park. Miss Lizzie Seaman Answers Last Call Funeral services for Mrs. Lizzie Maria Seaman, 83, were conducted Tuesday afternoon from the Hilgenfeld funeral home. Rev. Thomas Burden, pastor of the White Temple Methodist church, officiated and burial was made in Anaheim cemetery. Mrs. Seaman, a resident of California for 50 years and of a ranch east of Anaheim for 23 years, died Friday morning at the family home on North East street after an extended illness. She is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Albert M. Christensen of Anaheim; two grandchildren, Newell C. Christensen of Anaheim and Robert B. Christensen of North Long Beach, and two great grandchildren, David Newell and Robert Eric Christensen. Light is sown for the righteous and gladness for the upright in heart. —Psalms 97:11.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH "Mortals and Immortals" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon on Sunday in all Churches of Christ, Scientist. The Golden Text is from John: "He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal." Included in the Lesson-Sermon are these words of Paul to the Ephesians: "But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ (by grace ye are saved); . . . For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. . . Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone." Among the passages from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy are the statements: "As the individual ideal of Truth, Christ Jesus came to rebuke rabhinical error saw possibilities for a success business in Anaheim, he received his position with the Pioneer company and purchased "Crucife at 250 East Center street.

Besides the daughter here Hartwig is survived by two Philip of Sunnyvale and He REPEATED: Reportedly begun the arrest of imprisonment of all the leaders of the pro-Italian Fascist movement, the outward symbol of a men stiffening in Belgrade's wake toward Italy. That this would have been done without any kind of assurance that such a step would not bring down the Jugoslav nation the imminent wrath of Hitler seems unlikely. There remains the obvious possibility that if the apparadventive anti-Italian politician Belgrade has not been fully inspired by Germany, at least Hitler has not so far hurried it. Despite the blow his prestige which has resulted in Italy's reverses in Greece, it is impossible that Hitler has used these reverses with some degree of satisfaction, for the rests of Germany and of Italy may no means in perfect harmony in southeastern Europe. He has Mussolini worked and aimed to secure for himself the economic and political domination of Balkan nations. It was for what he seized Albania. But many, by her conquest ofmania, has now become a power, and hitherto the war has never been anxious to see his gains if he could help the puncturing of the Italian state would inevitably mean that nations which are prepared come to terms with the axis most certainly be anxious that he himself, and not Mussolini, be their protector, and this only mean that rapidly meltaway is any slightest possibiliry Italian Balkan supremacy. It is obvious that when Mussolini made his pact with Hitler, he entered the war in the face of speedy triumph and great victory; he was in effect selling his son to the devil. For innumerable the stories in folk-lore of who have by this means lived great momentary success, FREE METHODIST Laymen of the Free Methodist church will be in charge of the 11 o'clock Sunday morning service, it was announced by Rev. Alton C. Mamath, pastor. It will be a Missions Day service. At 7:30 o'clock in the evening, Rev. Mamath will preach on the subject, "The Measure of a Man." WHITE TEMPLE METHODIST "Dare We Be Hopeful?" is the subject of the Thanksgiving sermon to be delivered by Rev. Thomas Burden at the 10:45 o'clock service Sunday morning. The sermon topic for the 7 o'clock evening service will be, "Playing Spiritual Hide and Seek." Sunday school will be held at 9:30 o'clock and the Epworth Leagues meet at six. CHURCH OF CHRIST Rev. Don Earl Boatman will speak during the morning worship at 11 o'clock on the subject, "Traditions that Need to be Preserved." In the evening at 7 o'clock, Rev. Boatman's subject will be "Mansions in the Sky." WESLEY METHODIST A Thanksgiving service with appropriate music and sermon will be held at 11 o'clock Sunday only to find that their gains turned to nothingness, while the price they had to pay was shattering. Mussolini's story has paralleled these fables. Largely was it German support which made it possible for him to brave the sanctions of the League of Nations and conquer Ethiopia. Albania fell into his hands while the world, fearful of the power of Germany, looked on without daring to take action. But today we can clearly foresee the approach of the moment when the price will be exacted. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone." Among the passages from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy are the statements: "As the individual ideal of Truth, Christ Jesus came to rebuke rabbinical error and all sin, sickness, and death—to point out the way of Truth and Life," "Mortal mind must part with error, must put off itself with its deeds, and immortal manhood, the Christ ideal, will appear." "In Case of the Nine of Skulls." Super-Detective Ashton-Wolfe tells of a mysterious assassin who apparently dropped his victims from the clouds and how he was adroitly trapped.
