BACKS, Secretary Christian Science War Relief Totals High Figure Just released by the Christian Science War Relief committee of First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass., is the second annual report, telling of accomplishments during the past year. The committee was established in September 1940, and this country's entry into the world-wide conflict has increased its activities. This second report shows that there are more than 1500 branch units active in the United States, in addition to those functioning in Great Britain, Canada, Australia and the Union of South Africa. Anaheim maintains one of these units at 302 East Center street, where workers have completed innumerable garments of all descriptions to be sent where needed. From the various units scattered all over the country has come a steady flow of needed garments to men in the United States forces, distributed through military distribution centers. In addition, the organization has assembled in the year since Pearl Harbor, over 66,000 pounds of durable clothing and bedding in waterproof, mothproof wooden cases. These have been placed at convenient points on both Atlantic and Pacific coasts, ready for instant use in case of emergencies arising out of enemy action. Another form of relief has been the distribution of clothing and needed supplies among refugee civilians arriving in the United States and merchant seamen rescued from ships torpedoed along the Atlantic coast. Clothing and bedding sent to the bombed-out people of the British Isle during the two year period, exceeded 1,600,000 pounds, with 8,700 pounds sent to Russia.

SCHUTZ Director Another form of relief has been the distribution of clothing and needed supplies among refugee civilians arriving in the United States and merchant seamen rescued from ships torpedoed along the Atlantic coast. Clothing and bedding sent to the bombed-out people of the British Isle during the two year period, exceeded 1,600,000 pounds, with 8,700 pounds sent to Russia, and 10,500 pounds to Finland prior to that country's alliance with the Axis. Los Angeles, Portland, New York and Boston are the depots from which supplies are shipped. To Those In Service INTO NAVAL SERVICE With that courage which distinguishes American youth, Harold Wright, a senior at Union High school, never questioned Uncle Sam's decision that he must take his departure almost on the very eve of Christmas, for some point as yet unnamed in U. S. Naval service. Harold, the son of Vernon Wright, lineman with the city of Anaheim, and Mrs. Wright, 619 South Claudina street, enlisted recently in the Navy, and received his call to report for duty Wednesday morning. GUADALCANAL VETERAN Even restricted by the things which he might not divulge, Dick McIntyre, son of the Guy McIntyres of Brea, had a world of thrilling stories of life on Guadalcanal, to relate during the 30 day leave which ended for him last Friday. Enlisting in the Navy a year ago just before completing high school, young McIntyre was aboard the ill-starred Lexington when she was sunk, and saw endless action in the Pacific war zone before being granted his leave. He spent much of the time in this city in the home of his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Bordeaux, 812 North Topeka street. He reported Friday to the base at San Diego to be detailed to his next Naval post. HOLIDAY FURLOUGH Christmas will be doubly enjoyable in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Adrain Lenain, 421 West Chestnut street, because of the arrival of their son, Adrain Jr., of the Navy emergencies arising out of enemy action.

SCHUTZ Director HOLIDAY FURLOUGH Christmas will be doubly enjoyable in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Adrain Lenain, 421 West Chestnut street, because of the arrival of their son, Adrain Jr., of the Navy Air Corps at Corpus Christi, Texas. Granted a holiday furlough, the latter is enjoying his first home visit for over a year. He has been in service over two years. RESPONSIBLE POST Having completed special training in Washington, D. C. Mrs. Samuel Crager Jones, the former Shirley Llewellyn, daughter of William J. Llewellyn, East Romneya street, is now engaged in her duties as recreational director at the Naval hospital, Oakland. There she works among the youths, many of whom are suffering from injuries received in the Solomons. Her interest in them is doubly keen, for her husband, Captain Jones, remained at his post in the Philippines when she left over a year ago, one of the final group of American evacuees. She has not heard from him since, but is hopeful that he is still living even though he is a prisoner of the Japanese. She and her husband met while students at Berkeley where she continued her education after graduating from Union high school here in the city of her birth. Capt. Jones was chosen by the government, to spend his senior year at the Presidio, and after their marriage the young couple sailed for the Philippines where rapid advancement came to Captain Jones at Fort McKinley.

UPWARD SWING If the middleman were stopped from speculating with the products of the man who raises the supplies, and a minimum price fixed for grade-A products this country would forge ahead by leaps and bounds. GIVE HIM A BREAK Stop and go signals at busy intersections are good, but right and left turns should be better regulated. The pedestrian frequently has to make a last frenzied leap for the sidewalk and safety. PASSING THE HAT Charitable organizations are entitled to help at all times, particularly at this season. But it is rumored that some people are abroad in the land, asking for aid and playing upon wartime sympathies of the people. Better be sure when you give aid. A STITCH IN TIME— Young men and women who are making good wages now had better be saving of their money because when all this war-time demand is over, things for them will be different. THE COLONEL WAS RIGHT In the early 80's, the late Colonel Otis of the Los Angeles Times, worked early and late. At 2 a.m. he wanted to go home, but he wanted the press running first. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts from files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter ago. 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 27, 1917 A sprinkle of rain on Tuesday at noon caused the people to believe that the weather man was handing this region a valuable Christmas present, but the clouds blew away. It is announced however, that a storm is coming down the coast and may reach this section before it is dissipated. The boys at Camp Kearney will soon be eating "fignuts" made in Orange. The California Fignut Company has received an order from the government for supplying ten thousand cases of their product to the camp. The new individual size package, known as the "De Luxe," which was designed for dining cars and cafes, and which is proving very popular, was specified in the camp order, which means 120,000 boxes. Immediate delivery was demanded. Clarence Wilson, son of Robert Wilson, spent Christmas here. Clarence is in the employ of the Interstate Commerce Commission, and will remain in this section for several weeks. He is obtaining information as to all trackage and switching equipment in the railroads and other matters relating thereto. Charley McAulay wearing the uniform of the United States Navy, came down from Mare Island to spend the Christmas season with his family. He came from San Francisco on the steamer Yale, reaching Anaheim Sunday. Charley is studying electrical 50 Years Ago December 29, 1892 Rain began falling on Friday evening and continued at intervals during the night and on Saturday. During Saturday night the precipitation was quite heavy, amounting for the storm to 1.78 inches total for the season 3.65. Last year we had 6.8 up to date, and 1.29 for the season. The year before to the first of January the precipitation amounted to 3.04 inches. Since Sunday the weather has been clear and warm and farmers are preparing to seed a larger acreage than ever before. The orange shipping season has commenced in earnest. Los Angeles buyers are paying $3.25 a box for navels delivered at the depot in that city, which is a very satisfactory figure. The crop of navels is heavy. That of seedlings rather light. The damage by wind and frost will not so far exceed five per cent of the total crop, which promises to be fully 7,800 carloads against 2,800 last year and 4,600 the year before. On Christmas day at the residence of T. J. F. Boege Esq., in Anaheim, the nuptial knot was tied by Judge Landell which made Godfrey Stock and Miss Mary Boege man and wife. Quite a large number of the family witnessed the ceremony. An elegant dinner was served after which Mr. Stock and his bride left on the five o'clock train for Los Angeles for a short honeymoon. They will make their home on the ranch in San Bernardino county of which Godfrey is the "Major A STITCH IN TIME— Young men and women who are making good wages now had better be saving of their money because when all this war-time demand is over, things for them will be different. THE COLONEL WAS RIGHT In the early 80's, the late Colonel Otis of the Los Angeles Times, worked early and late. At 2 a.m. he wanted to go home, but he wanted the press running first, in order to get out the paper. The make-up man was always late in getting the forms on the press, so Otis instructed the printers to put the man on some other work and put a real make-up man on the job in order to have the press running at 2 o'clock. Instead the printers were ordered to strike although many of them objected. That's what started the trouble with the higher-ups. Two years later the printer's struck again. That's when the Colonel went to Kansas City and returned with two linotype machines. Some of the boys said "You can't set type with machines." Now look how things have changed! SCRAPING THE BOTTOM Some people advocate that the standard of living of the American people should be lowered to conform to conditions in other countries. Oh! Oh! OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS Down in Mexico they have those rubber plants known as guayule, very much in the rubber eye at present. It takes six years for the plant to mature. The roots and even the leaves are usable. A well known scientist has now discovered a vine that produces rubber and which matures in six months. It is scientifically known as Cryptotigia, commonly called gonablara. Only the leaves are used. It grows for years and flourishes in frostless areas. In this country, Indio would seem an ideal place in which to plant the vine. The vine is attracting much attention and if produced here would go far toward solving the rubber situation. F. W. Vermeulen, proprietor of the Anaheim Pharmacy, one of the young men caught in Uncle Sam's dragnet, is on a furlough. Mr. Vermenlen is a member of the band at Camp Lewis. A bill of sale has been filed in the Superior Court transferring the Anaheim hardware store from W. F. Flory to the Kogler hardware Company of Orange, the consideration being $9000. This store is situated at 110 East Center street and was formerly the Beebe-Weisel store. Ide Stone, while he has lived here most of his life, says he knows no more about the weather than a tenderfoot. Ide says in 1876 we had two inches of rain in October, and that not another drop of rain fell that season. In 1860-61 just a bare trace of moisture fell during the two years and cattle died like flies. So far this season the rainfall has been scant, but signs are good it is said for bountiful rains early in the New Year. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Harrison of East Center street have just returned from spending the Christmas holidays with friends in Los Angeles. Mrs. Clarence Perdomo of New Mexico is visiting with her mother-in-law, Mrs. Perdomo of North Philadelphia street. Mrs. H. F. H. Schneider entertained the Elite club at her home corner of East and Sycamore streets Thursday afternoon. Five hundred was the diversion of the afternoon, Mrs. Fred Heying winning first prize, Mrs. Leon Porter second, Mrs. A. H. Heying, third several weeks. He is obtaining information as to all trackage and switching equipment in the railroads and other matters relating thereto. Charley McAulay wearing the uniform of the United States Navy, came down from Mare Island to spend the Christmas season with his family. He came from San Francisco on the steamer Yale, reaching Anaheim Sunday. Charley is studying electrical engineering and in the course of time will be pronounced an expert, and most probably will be assigned to some war vessel. He is enthusiastic in praise of the service. He was given a furlough of 15 days. The Masonic Lodge elected the following officers on Monday evening to serve for the ensuing term: W. M. McFadden, W.M.; Richard Krebs, S.W.; A. Abbel, J.W.; Dr. W. M. Higgins, treasurer; H. W. Cheynowth, secretary. Appointed officers: T. A. Darling; S.D.; E. R. Amerige, J. D.; F. A. Korn and H. A. Stough, Stewards; W. T. Brown, Marshal; Theo. Flotow, Tyler. By the arrival here of Mr. Cargill's family from the east our population is increased by ten persons. The party consists of Mr. Cargill's father and mother, his three little children and his sister and three children. They will reside at Brookshurst permanently. We regret to learn that Mr. Cargill has been quite seriously ill recently, but at last accounts in improving. A. Pierotti was in from Placentia on Monday and dropped in to see us. He informs that the farmers' union was formed, not to antagonize buyers at all, but to maintain prices. The union will have large quantities of farm produce to sell and expects to dispose of the same at fair prices. Mr. Pierotti says the oranges never looked better and that the crop this season is above the average. Mr. Bulger was in from Centralia on Tuesday renewing old acquaintances. He is giving his undivided attention these days to his potato crop which is coming on nicely and promises well. Potatoes will be a cash article this season, and Mr. Bulger expects in consequence to reap his share of the circulating medium. Mrs. Brooks, Miss Brooks, and Mr. and Mrs. J.E.Hoy have ar- Taxpayer Sends Special Letter To Santa Claus Dear Santa: For many years you have been "giving" relief, jobs, lavish government services. Many have looked upon these as "gifts" forgetting that the people must always pay the bill for whatever they get from government. This year I want another kind of gift. I'll get along with rationed gas, food, clothes, or whatever is necessary. I'll put every dollar I can into war bonds. But, please, this year, I want: 1. Enough money to pay Federal taxes 2. State tax reduction. 3. State expenditures cut to the bone by the 1943 Legislature. 4. Local property tax rates for 1943-44 cut to the minimum. 5. Civil government services reduced to essentials. 6. Work for every person able to contribute to the war effort. 7. All possible manpower made available for the armed forces and war industries, including agriculture. 8. Abandonment of all talk of liberalized social services. 9. A thorough housecleaning of civil government by the California Legislature. 10. A complete going over to civil government by the Congress. 11. Victory in 1943. Respectfully yours, CAL. TAXPAYER. Mrs. Clarence Perdomo of New Mexico is visiting with her mother-in-law, Mrs. Perdomo of North Philadelphia street. Mrs. H. F. H. Schneider entertained the Elite club at her home, corner of East and Sycamore streets Thursday afternoon. Five hundred was the diversion of the afternoon, Mrs. Fred Heying winning first prize, Mrs. Leon Porter second, Mrs. A. H. Heying, third and Mrs. Herman Schindler, fourth. Luncheon was served at the close of the game. Clark Chamberlain who is at the training camp at San Francisco came in on the first of the week for a visit with friends. Mr. and Mrs. Otto Storm and family of Imperial, arrived here some days ago on a visit to relatives and friends. Mr. Storm and family were former residents of Anaheim and have a large circle of friends here. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Pellegrin and young son of Baltimore, Maryland, are visiting friends in the city. Dean, Ray and Galen Hasson, returned Monday from a week's hunting expedition through San Diego, Imperial and Riverside counties. Game was plentiful, according to Dean, and they had no difficulty in bagging the limit. At one point, out of a flock of twenty-seven sprig floating in a lake they got seventeen. Arthur L. Winney, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Winney of East Anaheim, who has been attached to the Naval hospital at San Diego for several months passed through this city Saturday for a camp in Virginia. May good luck attend him. Mr. Bulger was in from Centralia on Tuesday renewing old acquaintances. He is giving his undivided attention these days to his potato crop which is coming on nicely and promises well. Potatoes will be a cash article this season, and Mr. Bulger expects in consequence to reap his share of the circulating medium. Mrs. Brooks, Miss Brooks, and Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Hoy have arrived from the East and are guests of Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Ryan at Santa Monica. Mr. Hoy is a brother-in-law of Mr. Ryan and this is his first trip to the coast. The party will remain during the winter. While impersonating Santa Claus at a Christmas tree gathering at Mr. Grimshaw's residence on Monday evening and clad all in a beautiful costume of snowy cotton, Mr. Garwood came near being very severely burned. He was reching to light a candle at the top of the tree when the cotton took fire from a lower candle, and before the blaze could be put out his beard and eyebrows were singed. Luckily, however, no further casualty occurred, and none of Santa Claus' clothing was burned. Col. D. M. Baker of the Santa Ana Standard and J. J. Livernash and Sam Purcell of the Blade were in town yesterday to learn the latest about the sugar factory. It is rumored that Editor Hearst of the San Francisco Examiner has purchased the Los Angeles Herald. Mons. Salaberri was up from San Juan Capistrano on Christmas to spend the day with his two little daughters who attend school at St. Catherine's academy.
