A NATION AT SCHOOL We have suddenly wakened to the realization that ours is a nation that is going to school! We are learning, by power of both the press and the radio, as represented by national advertising, of a whole multitude of things which we have never before been taught. And we don't mean the important lessons of war and the value of silence, as exemplified so perfectly by the major developments of the week. We mean by the seemingly minor but vastly important economies that reach right into our very homes. We have our daily lessons in regard to conserving the old jalopy that in pre-war years, we would have been urged to discard in favor of a glittering up-to-the-minute model. We have detailed instructions on how to get the final mile out of the last few drops of precious gasoline; the last shreds of rubber on ancient tires. We are taught to share the car with others, aiding in the general conservation. Then too we learn how NOT to travel; how NOT to use the telephone for anything but the most vital messages; how NOT to tangle up transcontinental telegraph systems; how NOT to dip with too lavish hands into the available supplies of coffee and sugar. every detail that will give aid to the war effort in general, and to our own lads at the battlefronts, in particular. But we are beginning to wonder what the effects will be when the bitter conflict at last is ended. Will we apply those lessons in economy to our lives after the war? Or will we plunge into a veritable orgy of buying—and wasting? We will all be tempted. When national advertising substitutes DO for DON'T: when airplane, bus and train travel is painted in such glowing terms that one longs to pack a bag and speed away; when automobile shows offer the temptation of the latest models with every conceivable gadget; when "Don't write—Telegraph!" is an ordinary slogan; when our rubberless world once again may have all the tires, hip books, mattresses, yes, even girdles, that it desires, will we remember our lessons? The prospect is interesting. But regardless of the future, our hats are off to the great industries of the nation that are directing every effort at present to conservation. Their message is "Don't use our product." And they are doing a wonderful thing. We hope they will be suitably rewarded by our patronage when the war is over—but we hope our response will be HAVE SOME SALAD! Meatless days, suggested for every home, were inaugurated in New York when a chain of 125 restaurants began leaving meat dishes off their Tuesday menus. SAM L. COLLINS Member Calif. Legislature Attorney at Law Chapman Bldg. Fullerton JOHN HENRY SIGNS HIS Ft. Sam Houston, Tex. — The Quartermaster iceman heaved a frigid load into the refrigerator, thrust a slip at the mess sergeant and said: "Just put your John Henry on this." The non-com did so. The iceman looked at the slip and scowled. "Say, I'm a very busy man. What's the big idea?" The sergent smiled: 'I wouldn't kid you pal. The name's Sgt. John D. Henry." IT TAKES 1,000 cubic feet of gas to "cook a 500-pound egg" for Hirohito—enough for you to scramble an egg a day for 20 years! Just one example of the tremendous amount of gas needed for war production. That's why we say,"Use gas wisely. Don't waste it!" GAS TOO, HAS ENLISTED with Southern California War Industries—to help lick the Axis! The same natural gas you use in your home has taken on a major wartime assignment. Twenty-four hours a day, it is doing double duty— — speeding an unparalleled output of ships, planes, guns and bombs here in one of the three leading war production areas in the United States. — supplying the enormously stepped-up demands of new population and housing, in addition to normal civilian demands. Southern California is fortunate in having an abundant reserve supply of natural gas. But the problem this winter is to deliver the tremendous volume of gas needed in wartime...through a network of pipelines which was designed for peacetime. Moreover this network cannot be expanded—for it would take hundreds of tons of steel more vitally needed on other fronts. Under these wartime conditions, certain situations such as extremes of weather, could create temporary emergencies when this peacetime system might be unequal to the task. This may mean asking you to use less gas for heating, while the emergency lasts—so that war production can have the right of way uninterrupted. From now on, the war has first call on us all...

"The World Crisis and Reconstruction" has been selected as the general theme of the conclave, condensed this year to four days, according to the Institute's executive secretary, Prof. Marc N. Goodnow, of USC School of Journalism. He has revealed that 65 delegates, representing diplomatic, government and academic groups, already have accepted as active participants in the program. It is expected that more than a hundred will take part in addresses, round table and panel discussion of the program. Six university and college presidents already have signified their acceptance of invitations to speak. They include Dr. Robert G. Sproul, University of California; Dr. Tully C. Knoles, College of the Pacific; Dr. Elam J. Anderson, University of Redlands; Dr. E.

Nor is it during times of war alone that the Marines add luster to their nation's history. In peace times they have guarded and protected American citizens and property in the four corners of the globe. They have frequently been called upon for similar service to other nations. Truly it has been said "The Marines have landed. Matters are well in hand." PURPLE HEART FAILURE A recommendation for the Order of the Purple Heart for Dick L. Rivers was found when his record was checked as a result of his application for reenlistment in the Marine Corps. The recommendation resulted from his conduct during a battle of World War I.

These files contain the only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 Years Ago November 15, 1917 Ten million housewives have signed the pledge of the National Food Administration, promising to maintain one meatless day each week and one wheatless meal per day in order that we may have a larger surplus to ship to our soldiers at the front and our needy allies in Europe. The average number of persons to a family in the United States is a fraction under five, consequently these ten million women who have pledged themselves and their families to observe the suggestions of the food administrator represent one-half the population of the nation. It is an insignificant sacrifice to ask of the people. One pound of beef per week saved by an average family of five mounts into big figures in the aggregate. It means 520,000,000 pounds per year. The government is not asking us to eat less but to eat more food of a different kind. Wheat, beef, pork, mutton and fats are the greatest needs of Europe. We can substitute corn and potatoes for wheat and poultry, fish and rabbits for meat without making a very great sacrifice. At 1:30 o'clock Sunday the whistles at the sugar factory blew for a quarter of an hour announcing that the last of the beets had been sliced and the campaign was at an end.

At this time last year a great deal of rain had fallen. November has generally been a wet month, and when the precipitation for the month is light it generally means a dry season. In the dry season of 1855-56, when the total recorded precipitation was, in the northern part of the state, only 10.46 inches, November was credited with .65 of an inch. Again in 1858-59, which was a dry season CHURCH SERVICES GOSPEL TABERNACLE Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Johnson will present a musical program at the 7:30 o'clock Sunday evening service and the pastor, H. W.

At this time last year a great deal of rain had fallen. November has generally been a wet month, and when the precipitation for the month is light it generally means a dry season. In the dry season of 1855-56, when the total recorded precipitation was, in the northern part of the state, only 10.46 inches, November was credited with .65 of an inch. Again in 1858-59, which was a dry season only .15 of an inch fell in November, in 1862-63, when the season's rain fall was 11.25, the observer noted only a sprinkle of rain in November, in 1870-71, when the total rainfall was only 8.45, only .58 fell in November, in 1876-77, when the precipitation was 8.96, November showed .30. On the other hand when the precipitation during the rainy season has been liberal November has generally contributed its full share. Thus in 1852-53 when 36 inches of rain fell, 6 inches fell in November. In 1861-62, when 35 inches fell, November is credited with 2.17. In 1867-68, when the fall was 32.79, 3.81 fell in November. In 1885-86, when the precipitation was 32.27, November contributed one third of the total.
