POST OFFICE HOURS MAINTAIN SCHEDULE Local residents have been so forehanded in getting out their Christmas packages and letters, and Anaheim post office is so well organized to handle outgoing and incoming Christmas mail, that the office will not need to keep its parcel and stamp windows open any later than usual during the holiday rush, today revealed Postmaster Louis Hoskins. Many Southland cities, including Santa Ana, have found it necessary to keep their windows open until 9 o'clock on some evenings during the last minute rush. But at the Anaheim office, the customary closing hour of 6 p.m. can be easily maintained. However everyone in line with parcels and letters to be mailed, will be accommodated even though it will extend the time of post office employees a little beyond the regulation closing hour.

Elementary and Hi School Faculty Have Xmas Party The annual elementary-high school faculty party is always one of the high lights of the school year and the pre Christmas event held at the Ebell clubhouse Tuesday night was another memorable occasion with the sparkling yule-tide decorations, the turkey dinner and the entertaining program all claiming equal attention from the 127 guests. This year it was the high school faculty that made the arrangements for the affair with Mrs. Faye Kern Schultz in charge of general plans. The banquet tables were beautiful with holly, red satin streamers and candles while each place was marked with place cards cleverly tucked into sprigs of English holly. A large, brilliantly illuminated Christmas tree captivated the attention of the guests, it having been decorated by Mr. Harry Burden and Mrs. George Hedstrom. Mr. Clyde Nickles was the able master of ceremonies and introduced Miss Dorothy Hanna, president of the high school faculty who welcomed the guests. Mr. Paul Jungkeit, president of the elementary school faculty responded to the greeting. Mr. M. A. Gauer, superintendent of the elementary schools, introduced the new teachers and members of the school board and in doing so spoke briefly on the value of the Van Dyke spirit of Christmas in which the spirit of generosity is kept throughout the year instead of just during the fleeting holiday season. Mr. Paul Demaree, principal of the high school, also observed this same thought in introducing the high school board members. City Schools Free From Prevailing Epidemic of Colds With Christmas vacation in the offing, Anaheim schools this week are progressing in their customary satisfactory manner, fortunate in the fact that they seem unaffected by the epidemic of flu-like colds that is apparent in many other county school systems. High school and elementary schools alike, show only the normal number of absences to be expected at this season of the year. And not all of these absences are due to cold conditions or other illnesses, it was pointed out by Melbourne A. Gauer, superintendent of the elementary school district. A certain number of absent pupils is always to be expected at the holiday season, due to long-planned-for Christmas visits. In all there were about 78 absences registered yesterday among the more than 1400 pupils in the city's elementary school system. One teacher, Miss Ferne Chowning and Superintendent Gauer's secretary, Miss Bessie Renner, were both absent for the day because of colds. Approximately the same situation was apparent in the high school, where Principal Paul H. Demaree stated that only a few students had been affected, and that among the staff of 45 teachers, the highest rate of absences had been one day when three were unable to take their classes. Both school systems have been engaged in preparing their holiday programs in anticipation of the week of vacation. This vacation, which begins Friday with the class of the current school week.

Care Is Urged In Mailing Gifts Of Fruit or Nuts Need for redoubled effort to guard against shipping perishable fruits, nuts and vegetables in violation of postal laws, was emphasized this week by County Agricultural Commissioner Dixson W. Tubbs. Tubbs disclosed the fact that larvae of the dreaded citrus white fly was discovered last week on tangerines and their leaves, which had been sent a member of the armed forces in the county against postal regulations. Had the larvae not been discovered it might have subjected the county to the danger of an infestation of the dreaded pest such as proved so costly. Approximately the entire event was apparent in the high school, where Principal Paul H. Demaree stated that only a few students had been affected, and that among the staff of 45 teachers, the highest rate of absences had been one day when three were unable to take their classes. Both school systems have been engaged in preparing their holiday programs in anticipation of the week of vacation. This vacation, which begins Friday with the close of the current school week, will be shorter than usual, students having only the one week this year. School will resume on Monday, December 27.

Tubbs. Tubbs disclosed the fact that larvae of the dreaded citrus white fly was discovered last week on tangerines and their leaves, which had been sent a member of the armed forces in the county against postal regulations. Had the larvae not been discovered it might have subjected the county to the danger of an infestation of the dreaded pest such as proved so costly some 20 years ago. At that time, Tubbs explained, $56,000 had been spent in Orange county alone, and $375,000 in the state for control and eradication of the pest. Because of the difficulty of intercepting all contra-band fruit and nut shipments, the commissioner has asked that anyone receiving such parcels from out of the state, either bring them to his office or else subject the contents to boiling in order to prevent any possible spread of insect pests.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH The Golden Text in the Sunday Lesson-Sermon in all branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, will be this verse from Hebrews: "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." The question "Is the Universe, Including Man, Evolved by Atomic Force?" is the subject. The Lesson-Sermon includes this Bible selection from Ecclesiastes: "I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it; and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past." In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Mary Baker Eddy writes on this subject: "All things are created spiritually. Mind, not matter, is the creator. Love, the divine Principle, is the Father and Mother of the universe, including man." "Man is deathless, spiritual. He is above sin or frailty. He does not cross the barriers of time into the vast forever of Life, but he coexists with God and the universe."
