Kuchel Editors and Publishers The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. Published every Thursday at 259 East Center Street, Anaheim, California. Subscription Per Year, $2.00 — Six Months $1.00 Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Anaheim, California, under the Act of March 8, 1879. From Washington, D.C. The following letter was received today from Congressman Harry R. Sheppard in Washington, D.C., and addressed to his friends in Anaheim: "It affords me pleasure to extend to the citizens of Anaheim, the Anaheim Gazette and its editor the season's greeting from Washington. It would be more satisfying to meet you all individually, but this pleasure will have to be deferred because our country is at war and I feel that it is my responsibility to remain in Washington. "Naturally, our holiday season of this year will not be the same from a national and international point of view as the last one. However, I feel that we can all accept the spirit of Christmas with its complete significance, being grateful that we are citizens of a great democracy who are still capable of selecting our representation in government, and evidencing that spirit of loyalty and devotion to our government which will carry this democracy through the ages of the future. "Unfortunately, we were forced into our present war by the unprovoked attack of Japan upon our people and our possessions. Unquestionably, this attack was a studied and long thought out program by the Axis powers who, under the guise of peace negotiations, planned our destruction. And I know that every citizen of this nation who is worthy of that title will align himself with our national policy and make this a Christmas that will go down in history as a rededication to our principles of government and our independence. "And I wish to call your attention to the fact that the sinking of the 'Maine' was not the closing of that war, and that the overt acts that have been committed by Japan and its attack upon our possessions will not be the closing of this..."

And I call upon each and every citizen of our nation to completely realize his responsibility for the successful termination of this unfortunate event, and make our success so definite that the Axis powers will long remember that while we are a peace-loving nation we will gladly lay down our lives for that which we cherish most—our right to peace, security and our form of government. "REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR, AND LET'S KEEP 'EM FLYING!" Christmas 1941 Twenty-four years have passed since the United States has celebrated Christmas in a time of war, but neither wars nor the thunderous salvos of battle can, or have ever, stilled the deathless message of this season. Again the ageless carols of Christmas ring out through Christendom, telling of that silent, holy night in Bethlehem, of the three Wise Men of the East bearing gifts to the Christ child, of shepherds, keeping faithful watch of their flocks on Galilee's hills, whose souls were struck with awe and wonder when a great star appeared in the sky over the humble manger. Nearly twenty centuries have run their course since that first Christmas, but the awe and wonder felt by the shepherds in Galilee still has the power to move the hearts of men. The hope and the promise of "Peace on earth, good will toward men," is still the ideal toward which all men of good will are striving. It is the cause and ideal for which this country has taken up arms in order that peace-loving peoples may truly and rightly inherit the earth. This year, constant as ever, red be-ribboned wreaths, the mistletoe and holly, and gaily lighted Christmas trees again adorn homes and stores with Yuletide magic. Come what may, to the youngsters this oldest of celebrations on Christendom's calendar, is ever as new as tomorrow, shot through with tingling suspense over the Christmas morning raid on the gift sack Santa left for them. Rightly enough, the spirit of giving belongs to this season, when hearth fires are banked deep with kindness and thoughtfulness toward all men of good will—to whom we extend warm and heartfelt greetings of the season! Turkey dinners in family style, cranberry sauce, creamy gravy, spiced dressing, mince and pumpkin pies, plum pudding, hot coffee—the highlights of the American Christmas. This together with the red and green colors of the season, a vivid Christmas tree and the genuine Christmas spirit of giving, forms a true picture of your Christmas and mine. And so, Anaheim folk, in keeping with the "good ole American custom" of a Christmas dinner at home, are doing just that—having Christmas at home.
