Local Lutheran Churches Will Assist In Maintenance of Service Center This city's two Lutheran churches, Zion, of which the Rev. Lorenz E. Elfert is pastor, and Grace, with the Rev. Harold J. Knappe as pastor, are joining the county's six remaining Lutheran churches as sponsors of the newly opened Lutheran Service Center at Fourth and Main streets, Santa Ana, in rooms formerly occupied by a USO information center. According to the Rev. Mr. Elfert, the venture has the full approval and support of the Army and Navy commission of the Missouri Synod of the Lutheran church and the Service Commission of the National Lutheran council. These two commissions are establishing and supporting Lutheran Centers in various military areas both here and abroad with a view to their serving as "homes from home" with a christian atmosphere for men and women in service. The local steering committee is under direction of the Revs. George Busdiecker and William Duerr of Santa Ana and the Rev. W. C. Gesch of Orange. The Rev. Mr. Knappe has been named as treasurer, and will be assisted by Mrs. Bert Baumbach and Mrs. Henry Henning. Others named to responsible posts are the Rev. Hubert Rasbach of Fullerton, who heads the sign committee, and the Rev. A. G. Webbeking of Orange, chairman of the furniture committee, assisted by Miss Florence Morner, Mrs. W. Braker and Mrs. W. F. Kletke. Hostesses who will serve in the lounge will be drawn from the eight county congregations. The USO which formerly occupied the quarters under jurisdiction of Miss Esther Siegel of the Jewish Welfare board, has been converted into a mobile unit to serve men stationed on the desert.

The bulk of this fruit was shipped without wraps, with both a saving of 4.9 cents per packed box over the previous year and conservation of material needed in the war effort. STATE, FEDERAL GAS TAXES NON-DEDUCTIBLE ON '43 INCOME RETURNS To deduct or not to deduct; that is the question, as Shakespeare might put it. According to the latest ruling received by the Automobile Club of Southern California, there's not a chance of deducting that California state gasoline tax from your federal income tax statement that goes for federal gasoline and oil taxes, too. Technical basis for this most recent ruling from the federal government is that these taxes are imposed upon the distributor or manufacturer. The taxes are not on the consumer, it is claimed.

Miss Cynthia Kirven married Major Harry Rainey of Los Angeles and they and their two children are in Waco, Texas., where Major Rainey is instructor at the Army field there. Stolen Brief Case Found in Grove A brief case containing valuable papers, which Oscar Milbrat found late the past week in an orange grove near this city, was turned over to the sheriff's office, and the owner, Frank Morris of Fontana, was notified. Sheriff's deputies stated that the brief case had apparently been stolen in Santa Ana. Indications were that the thieves had driven to Haster road and Orange avenue, and evidently parked there for some time. The brief case was rifled and then thrown away. Officers are searching for a car with scratches, since appearance of an orange tree in the grove indicates that it had been brushed by a vehicle.
