Anaheim's Gree ANAH The Oldest VOLUME LXXI EIGHT PAGES ANAHEIM NEW ANAHEIM HOSPITAL OPENED Opened formally over the past week-end, the completely rebuilt and newly furnished Anaheim Hospital at 116 N. Claudina St. was ready to accept patients this week. Shortage of Paper Bags Felt Here That old shopping bag will soon have to come out of its hiding place, that is, if the present shortage of paper bags becomes more acute, and grocers' associations say it will. Grocers in Southern California have asked their customers to save paper sacks and return them for further use since the shortage is becoming more and more severe. The grocers say the shortage is caused by two things—Hitler and the national defense program. The Scandinavian countries are supplying Germany with 560,000 tons of paper pulp, that which used to go to the United States. Thirty per cent of the pulp that formerly went into the manufacture of paper bags is being consumed by military and defense industrial needs. Increasing defense payrolls are also swelling purchases of foodstuffs, thus increasing the normal domestic demand. One large local bag and paper corporation in Southern California has closed down because it is unable to obtain the pulp supply. A statement was made at the offices of the Southern California Retail Grocers association that all members have been requested to ask their customers to save their shopping bags and to use them over and over again to eliminate the use of smaller bags. Last Rites Held For George Bates Funeral services were conducted Medical Men Laud Anaheim Hospital On Grand Opening Completely Renovated, Building Now Ready to Accommodate 20 patients Medical men from all sections of Southern California voiced their approval of the new Anaheim hospital at 116 N. Claudina St., which had its grand opening last Saturday and Sunday. Hundreds of members of the medical profession as well as the general public attended the opening. Non-sectarian in its management, the new hospital brings to Anaheim a long needed asset. Completely modernized from the kitchen and nurses' annex on the basement floor to science's newest presentation for doctors in the surgery, the entire building has been air conditioned. Bed accommodations for 20 patients have been established with additional space for more if an emergency demands. A staff of decorators and planners, supervised by J. Hilgendorf, representative manager from the Good Samaritan Hospitals, Inc., sponsors of the hospital, have introduced color, cheer and comfort, yet retain hospital perfection. The installation of the latest inventions in the electrical world will give every aid to the needs of practicing physicians, with the cold "surgeon's light" augmenting the perfection of the overhead illumination in the surgery, obstetrical and tonsillectomy operating rooms.

Oranges May Boom Again If Experiment Succeeds To Make Fruit Good Wine Base Here's good news to the orange grower! Maybe— Dr. W. B. Cruess of the University of California started experiments with three boxes of valencias as a base for wine. Although there have been previous and unsuccessful attempts to convert oranges into a palatable wine that will hold its color and flavor, recent advances in chemistry may bring about a revision of the old method of manufacturer, according to the Doctor. The suggestion that Dr. Cruess make a careful analytical check of the chemical properties of the Valencia as a base for wine came from Robert Hays, new secretary of the Santa Ana chamber of commerce. Should a profitable method of making wine result from the experiment it undoubtedly would bring new industry to Orange county and at the same time supply a new market for oranges.
