Anaheim Resident Receives Letter From Missionary (Continued from page 1) have marveled at the variety of foods we have had since returning to China this last time. All our needs have been supplied—sometimes from a fellow missionary's garden. Some of our California friends sent us an unexpected gift and now I no longer need to bat my eyes and refuse to buy something because it is too expensive. But many things are very high. For instance English walnuts are four for a dollar; eggs, one dollar each; unground wheat, seven dollars a pound. These prices are in Chinese currency. "We keep warm by wearing Chinese padded garments. They are loose and comfortable even if they do make us look straight up and down. We have stoves in our home but there is a shortage of fuel and impossible prices for coal—five pounds for a dollar. So we ration our fires and don't use too much money to get a bit of warm air in a room when an extra padded coat will make one cozy and warm. "We are in the midst of a very real famine here in Honan province where we are very close to the war line. We hear heavy guns at night or any time of the day. Since four years ago when the Yellow river dike was cut ten miles from us, we have had great groups of people who were flooded out and who must have a place to live and something to eat. Then this summer we had a terrible drought. War, flood and famine have come to a head here at Chengchow and people are desperate. "The American Advisory committee at Chungking has sent large sums of money and the Chinese SLIGHT RAINFALL GIVES HOPE THAT DROUTH IS ENDED Today's light rainfall, unmeasured at the time the Gazette goes to press, was a truly welcome addition to the "blue plate special" which the weatherman has provided for the Southland thus far in the month. January has offered the heaviest fogs for years, and the coldest weather of the season. Even government restrictions on weather forecasts were lifted earlier in the week in order that growers might be prepared against the snapping cold nights that threatened their groves. Tuesday's heavy black smoke from orchard heaters provided a dimout that was almost a blackout Early forenoon drivers had to use their automobile lights just as in the case of the heavy fogs earlier in the month. Today's rain started quietly in the late forenoon and the very quietness of its beginning leads ranchers to believe that it presages heavier rains to come and end the long dry season. It is no military secret to admit that storm signals are displayed along the coast. City Engineer V. W. Hannum today gave the season's rainfall total as 1.74 inches, as compared with 7.11 inches a year ago. On August 10 we had .13 inches; on August 12, came .01 inches more, and then sunshine until October 28 when .46 inches of rain offered slight encouragement. On November 14 there came .04 inches; on November 19 there was a rainfall of .17 and on December 23 it registered .40 with .51 on December 25 and .02 on January the 17. Breakfast Clubber observes Birthday Birthday anniversaries may be a time for receiving gifts for average person. But not Harry C. Arthur, genial Fusilier Fox theater manager, and member of the celebrated "Birthday club" of the Jackson Drug store. Today, on occasion of his anniversary, Arthur dropped in his morning "cuppa cawfy" arriving with birthday gifts for all girls of the Jackson store staff lunch counter. So the group, consisting of Marian Austin, Ever Manning, Dolores Stevens and Bee Miller, are adorned with sage clusters of red, white and blue carnations tied with the colors, and tricky V-for-Victory earrings set with red, white and blue stones. They all sing "Happy birthday to YOU, Harry Arthur." Dried Beans Made Victory Special Please pass the baked beans. Dry edible beans have been nominated for honors as the Victory Food special for the current interval, according to announcement made by Merritt A. Cleverger of San Francisco, Food Distribution administrator for Pacific area. The year's total supply of beans in this country was estimated at 24 million bags of pounds each, sufficient to meet lend-lease shipments and military needs, with plenty of left over at the home folks. Clevenenger poured out that restrictions on have virtually eliminated the coming of beans, making it necessary to prepare the valuable protein food in home kitchens. WAACS - WAVES Dartmouth Alumnu Since four years ago when the Yellow river dike was cut ten miles from us, we have had great groups of people who were flooded out and who must have a place to live and something to eat. Then this summer we had a terrible drought. War, flood and famine have come to a head here at Chengchow and people are desperate. "The American Advisory committee at Chungking has sent large sums of money and the Chinese government is helping. My husband is treasurer of the local relief committee which meets in our home. One refugee school of 500 children and a refugee camp for some of the most distressing cases are under his care. He has placed competent men in charge, living in the compounds about two blocks from our home. "Since January 1, about two million dollars in relief funds have gone through my husband's hands and this means carefully audited reports of every dollar received and spent. The committee now has over a million dollars in the local bank to save people from starving and to provide seed wheat for the spring crops. Mr. Ashcroft feels the heavy responsibility of relieving suffering and saving lives. You have read of distressing conditions during a famine in China. That is what we are experiencing now. "Our furlough comes next year but we are told that airplane tickets are $6000 each, U.S. currency. When there is a good ordinary steamer route open to the U.S. we think, if we are still living, we may be seeing you."

It put a wet blanket on Anaheim’s plans for celebration of “Victory Day” with a gala program to further War Bond sales. The program of short talks and music under direction of Paul Demaree, was to include a visit to this city of the Victory House Mobile unit and sales staff, provided by Standard Oil company.

Rigby, a member of the Anaheim committee, this city has no complaint on the fact that the program had to be canceled.
