Yes, this is the Christmas month. Magical December which has always been awaited by childhood the world over, as the month that brings Santa Claus. But to us here in the United States, the arrival of December had a meaning this year that it never had before, — and that it will always have hereafter. We no longer think of it in terms of Christmas exclusively. We “Remember Pearl Harbor.” Monday brought the first anniversary of that fateful December 7 — the day that President Roosevelt fittingly christened a “day of infamy.” We remember Pearl Harbor. We remember how its pellucid blue waters, its unbelievably green hillsides, its lilting Ha-waiian music, all its strangely exotic charms, were suddenly and treacherously assailed. The hand of a vandal smeared that beautiful and peaceful picture with blood. Gradually we will remove that bloody stain. We will restore the picture of a peaceful and happy island. But we cannot remove the memory of that stain — a stain not on a lovely picture alone, but on the month that is set apart from all its sister months, for the birthday of the Prince of Peace. It is sad to know that all our joyous thoughts of Christmas through years to come, will be mingled with the dark memories of treachery. For even at the time of “Peace on earth, good will to man,” we shall always Remember Pearl Harbor. YES, WE HAVE NO — BUTTER So you haven’t been able to get any butter in the local markets? You were limited to a single cup of coffee at breakfast this morning—and had no bacon and eggs at all? You couldn’t get that crown rib roast you had planned for dinner tonight? That’s just too bad! It seems hard to be deprived of the food you need to keep life in your body. Of course we might suggest that there are butter substitutes—to take, nor are nice tender rabbits, and a whole assortment of tender lamb cuts. But you say those aren’t what you want? Well, that’s too bad too. They would make a veritable feast of Lucullus for some of our boys down there in the Solomons or across in the Libyan desert. And imagine what some of the starving peoples in subjugated Europe would give for such fare! THE CLIMATE CHANGES The northern currents come south, which stops them—unless the wind swings in southeast, which for some reason it doesn’t seem to do. Come Weatherman, give us the east wind! EVERY LITTLE BIT HELP Two boys were walking the street. “Hold on!” cried and stooped and picked up one of greenbacks with a rubber around them. He carefully moved the band and tossed bills back into the street. “Were big idea?” asked the boy. “Got to save rubber” was brief reply. ALL DRESSED UP NO PLACE TO GO Some fellows still think they have a car and four tires, they can roll along as they choose. But under new set-up they might not any more gasoline.

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 December 13, 1917 Legal matters in reference to establishing the upkeep system in the Anaheim cemetery have progressed so far that the board of directors are now assured that it is safe to proceed with the work, consequently they have decided to request donations immediately so, that the work may proceed through the rainy season. The general plan of improvement contemplates the Pioneer's arch, which is now being constructed through the generosity and under the direction of F. A. Hartman of Los Angeles, who is paying for the same. The old water tank is to be entirely removed and a memorial monument erected on its site, the streets will be curbed and the grounds all laid out in lawns. It is proposed to lay irrigating pipes along the plats where necessary and thereby flood the lawns and shrubbery, as this can be done better than by sprinkling. When finished the cemetery will be one complete green sward, interspersed with flowers and shrubbery. The contractor is putting the finishing touches on the Hartman building at the corner of Olive and Center streets and it will soon be ready for occupancy. It contains three store rooms, the corner one which occupies half the building, being designed for a garage. The building is an artistic structure, being a wonderful improvement over the old opera house that used to stand on the site. Postmaster Ahlborn states that 50 Years Ago December 15, 1892 Although additional rooms have recently been fitted up in both the city and West Anaheim schools, the room is still found to be inadequate for the accommodations of the pupils, and measures must be taken soon to provide more room in the shape of a new school house. Eight teachers are employed at present and in the primary department of the city schools there are 66 pupils with an average daily attendance of 57. In the primary department at West Anaheim there are 60 pupils with an average daily attendance of 52. This is entirely too many pupils for one teacher, and more accommodations are therefore an immediate necessity. The total enrollment in the city schools is 234, in the West Anaheim schools there are 117 scholars, in the Sisters school 62. Total 413, exclusive of the kindergarten. The question arises, shall we put up more primary school rooms or build a district high school that would accommodate all the higher scholars? One or the other must be done and pretty speedily too? The second anniversary of the Y.P.S.C.E. of Anaheim was held in the parlors of the Del Campo last Friday evening. An interesting and varied programme was listened to by a large and appreciative audience. The programme opened by a song entitled "The Light of the World" in which all joined. This was followed by a short prayer by Rev. Hill. Miss Cora Scott next favored the audience with an instrumental solo, after which Mr. Garwood introduced The return of December 7, "Day of Infamy," was an appropriate time for the government to release facts, figures and pictures of the disaster at Pearl Harbor. These pictures show some of the chaos wrought by the Japanese sneak attack just a year ago, on the beautiful island of Oahu. Pearl Harbor is important as base for the big battlewagons of the U. S. Navy. Here may be seen results of the deadly attack, as one of the crippled dreadnaughts sinks into the muck and slime of the harbor as oily black smoke pours from her funnels. The other picture gives an idea of the spectacular horror of the bursting enemy bombs which crippled sea and air equipment alike. WHITE TEMPLE METHODIST Sunday's program in White Temple Methodist church will include Sunday school at 9:30 a.m.; worship at 10:45 with the sermon, "Homesickness of the Soul" by the Rev. Thomas L. Burden, pastor; Youth Fellowship at 6 p.m., and a continuation of the study series on "The Character of Jesus" at 7 o'clock in Wesley hall, where the pastor will discuss "The Reason-ableness of Jesus." Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. the Rev. Mr. Burden will present his special course on the Sunday school lessons, designed for teachers and adults. BETHEL BAPTIST "The Seven Joys of Mary" will be the Rev. H. G. Dymmel's sermon subject Sunday at 11 a.m. in finishing touches on the Hartman building at the corner of Olive and Center streets and it will soon be ready for occupancy. It contains three store rooms, the corner one which occupies half the building, being designed for a garage. The building is an artistic structure, being a wonderful improvement over the old opera house that used to stand on the site. Posfmaster Ahlborn states that his office has been deluged this week with young men anxious to enlist in some branch of the government service, and Anaheim's roll of volunteers is being considerably enlarged. The Domestic Science section of the Anaheim Ebell will meet Friday afternoon at 2:30 at Masonic Temple building. Mrs. Grim and Mrs. Falkenstein are the hostesses. Please bring recipes for wheatless day, also for using honey instead of sugar. E. Kestenholz of West Anaheim reported to the Santa Ana police that his five passenger Ford was stolen from Bush street between Second and Third streets Sunday night between nine and eleven o'clock. It has not yet been found. Work on the new addition to the Crawford marmalade factory is being pushed as rapidly as possible. More than twenty men are engaged on the building. Local market men all report that the turkey is going to be conspicuous by his scarcity for the holiday trade. They may have some birds for sale, but if you contemplate eating one Christmas you had better put in your order early. Magnus Roy was in from his South Street ranch Monday. Mr. Roy is raising nursery stock and now has a number of young lemons and 1000 budded valencias for sale. O. A.

Phillips of Buena Park, who gave an interesting address on "Our Present Demands," Miss Phoebe Jones followed with a piano solo. Miss Margaret Trower gave the recitation "Jamie." In closing Mr. Garwood gave a history of the society for the past year, written in chronicle style. After the program was over they had a dish of poetical hash, in which nearly all participated, and had a social time, Mr. Garwood's paper is printed on the first page. The Board of Trustees met in regular session in the City Hall on Tuesday evening. Present, Trustees Witte, Rust, Schindler and Pellegrin. The Treasurer's report showed a balance in favor of the city Dec. 13 of $3,055.81." The Recorder submitted his report for the month of November. Only one case had come up before the Judge—that of Patrick Donovan of Los Angeles—but as the prisoner had only $6.30 on his person the Judge fined the defendant only $5 thereby leaving him enough money to go home to the bosom of his family. In the opinion of the Board the fine ought to have been the regulation price of $7.50, but took no action to require the recorder to make the balance good. The clerk was instructed to notify-the-Judge-to collect the full amount of all fines imposed in future or to demand the prisoner to confine of the city bastile to serve out time in every case, as prescribed by law. In regard to the electric light proposition the finance committee was granted further time. A communication was received from L. T. Clemons of Los Angeles, dealer in electrical supplies, regarding the electric light plant. Referred to the committee.

Announcement has been made of the engagement of Miss Ubenia Yorba to George Wentz of this city. The announcement was made at a party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Yorba of Yorba some evenings ago. Miss Yorba is a member of a pioneer family of this section and the groom is one of Anaheim's prominent young business men, being manager of the Pacific Telephone company.

That portion of Center street east of the Santa Fe depot is in a bad conditions and ought to be graded, but the city finances are too low to allow fixing the street at this time. It was thought that should the matter be properly laid before the officials of the Santa Fe railroad they might remodel that part of the street nearest the depot. Adjourned. Wm. F. McFadden and Fred Smythe have returned from their four weeks trip to the New River country, in San Diego county. They left the others of the party about fifty miles back looking for deer tracks. Mr. McFadden reports having enjoyed the trip intensely, the weather being much cooler and more pleasant there than during the summer. The party found some excellent land but it will take considerable expense to bring water upon the territory. There is considerable good land in that section not yet taken up, which will grow fruits and cereals to perfection.
