Sun Goddess Picture Steps Into Flesh An artist drew a beautiful Sun Goddess as the insignia for Southern California's All-Winter SUN FESTIVAL of entertainment for winter visitors sponsored by the All-Year Club and the Southern California Travel Promotion Committee and then a search began for a goddess in the flesh who fits the picture. She is Joan Leslie, a 15-year-old Hollywood girl, shown here in the pose which won her the Sun Goddess title. Winsome Goddess Joan will pre-ride at many of the 300 events of the Festival.

Some of the bombing has been quite close to us... it is so terrifying when we hear the bombs coming down. I think I told you that we all slept in a shelter in the garden. Well, we can't now. It is flooded, and we took out 100 buckets of water and the next day it was just as bad. We have had such a lot of rain. We all stick indoors and trust to luck. "It is about six weeks 'till Christmas but I think I had better send my best wishes to you now, because I don't know if you'll get another letter before Christmas from me. I am not sending cards this year. It seems rather silly to wish people a happy Christmas. I don't expect to have a truly happy one unless the war ends and it doesn't look as if it will for a long time. Poor old Chamberlain died this week. He did his best but I don't think he should have been put in office as prime minister. Good luck." The last letter in this series is one from a cousin of Mrs. Powell's in Kent. It reads: "We have an air raid on now. There are about five a day and one lasting all night; the guns are going the best part of the night. We have a shelter in the garden so we go down there to sleep and come out in the morning. There are three of us, our neighbors and a widow, so we just have room to lie down and hope for the best. Thank God He has protected us up until now, although we had a bomb fall just across the road in the garden at up and drop it down again. The same day we had a bomb come down in a garden five gardens below us. Emm and I were in cur shelter and I thought it was our garden that had been bombed. The noise it made as it struck the ground! It wrecked several houses. Three of the neighbors were in the one shelter and it blew it right out of the ground with the people in it! They were not killed although two had shock and another had her arm burned. Wasn't that a mercy? "Hello! The guns are going again and our planes are up having a fight. We don't have much peace now. "We must win or life won't be worth living. We must trust in God and keep our chins up. God keep you and keep you safe." "We have an air raid on now. There are about five a day and one lasting all night; the guns are going the best part of the night. We have a shelter in the garden so we go down there to sleep and come out in the morning. There are three of us, our neighbors and a widow, so we just have room to lie down and hope for the best. Thank God He has protected us up until now, although we had a bomb fall just across the road in the garden at the back. It was a time bomb, and fell at 12 o'clock and went off at 3:30. It wrecked four houses and they cannot live in them now. No one was hurt as they had warning to leave at once; some had their dinners on the stoves but it was all blown up. Emm and I were out in our scullery and it seemed to lift our house Here's More About Fifty Years Ago (Continued from Page 2) The engagement of Frank Evans and Mable Sprague of Fullerton is announced. The Orange College will hold its closing exercises and exhibition tomorrow evening. We are instructed by Prof. Harwood to tender an invitation to everybody to attend. Admission free. W. J. Broderick, one of the prominent businessmen of Los Angeles, was in town on Monday and made a pleasant call at this office. Mr. Broderick's subscription to the Gazette began in 1870 and has continued uninterruptedly ever since—a fact of which we are justly proud. His visit to Anaheim was on business connected with his well known insurance agency. He has transferred his Anaheim agency from Mr. Davis to Mr. Pullen. First Capistrano Teacher is Dead Death Monday claimed Dona Maria Magdalena Murillo, 92, at Juan Capistrano. Dona Maria, she was known, was born on the ranch of her parents in Los Osas, now a part of Huntington Beach. Many of the oil derricks mark the plains that were once the amazing ground of the cattle of Jose Antonio Hurillo, her father. At an early age she went to San Juan Capistrano as one of the first school teachers of the village. For many years during the non-occupancy of the old mission, Dona Maria maintained the altar Father Serra's chapel where services were conducted weekly by a visiting padre.
