'The Drunkard' Viewed by Little Theatre Group Front row seats at "The Drunkard," famed melodrama currently THE NEW YEAR It is an interesting thing to observe how the dimpled, diapered youngster who appears on the scene at the New Year becomes such a very old man within the space of but 365 (or 366) days. But however remarkable the change it occurred again this year. Old Man 1946, bent and bearded, is ready to call it quits. And, as usual, a bright-eyed, rosy cheeked toddler is all set to pick up the burden and carry on through 1947. The Old Man about to depart represents the first full year of peace since 1938. At least, it was supposed to be a year of peace, but in many respects it was hardly less rugged than our years of war. The flames of conflict have continued to burn through 1946 and they are burning in areas where there is danger of their spreading again unless statesmen are very much on the alert to prevent them. China, India, Palestine and Greece have witnessed clashes ranging all the way from minor skirmishes to sizable battles. The home front has been anything but peaceful, too. Industrial strife has kept the Nation off balance. If all the energy that has been expended arguing over labor issues had been devoted toward actual work America's production in 1946 would have been staggering. But in spite of the record of conflict 1946 may be recorded in history as the year in which the first genuine strides toward a lasting peace among nations was achieved. The success of the UN Assembly meeting and the apparent willingness of all members of the Big Four to adopt measures that will really be effective in preventing war gives rise to this hope. In summing up it can be said The Drunkard' Viewed by Little Theatre Group Front row seats at "The Drunkard," famed melodrama currently and standardly playing at the Theater Mart, Los Angeles, were enjoyed by members of the Anaheim Little Theatre last Thursday night. Interpretation of the classic play, which has been acclaimed by capacity audiences for the past 13 years, and its new hilarious olio acts, were of special interest to the local theatrical group since their premier production will be a clever nineteenth century melodrama "Gold In The Hills," or the "Dead Sister's Secret." The production will be staged at Anaheim Union high school January 8 and 9, with proceeds to swell the Community Chest Fund. Those attending "The Drunkard" included Mrs. Alberta Brown, Mr. and Mrs. James Jay, Duahe Brown, James Samon, Miss Edith Browne, Donald Britton, Miss Dickle Graham; Mrs. W. R. Rheinhardt, John Brown, Miss Grace Thompson and Miss Harriet Samon, director of the local group. Junior Ebell Party For T. B. Patients Presenting a party for the 25 children and 100 adults in the Tuberculosis wards of Orange county hospital were members of the Anaheim Junior Ebell club last Friday afternoon. Delectable home made cookies cakes and nuts and hot chocolate were served following the main dinner course. Christmas candles, figurines and evergreens were among the decorations gracing the rolling tables. The dessert course, prepared by club members, was served by seven of the group who wished each patient a merry Christmas as each brought a gay table to a bedside. Those serving included Miss Mary Hubbard, social service worker at the hospital; Mesdames Robert Harbey, George Tokar, James J. Schneider, Richard Cook and Miss Elizabeth Ann Carroll. P.-T. A. Program But in spite of the record of conflict 1946 may be recorded in history as the year in which the first genuine strides toward a lasting peace among nations was achieved. The success of the UN Assembly meeting and the apparent willingness of all members of the Big Four to adopt measures that will really be effective in preventing war gives rise to this hope. In summing up it can be said that 1946 was not such a bad year after all. But we certainly hope that 1947 will be better. REBELLION AGAINST BOSSISM When 600 butchers of the Long Beach, San Pedro and Orange County areas met recently in the Masonic Temple of Long Beach rebellious against union leadership that had forced them into an untenable position, they made history of importance far beyond the scope of a local butchers' strike and transcending differences which caused the strike. Long Beach butchers demand that the policies of their organization be determined by a majority of it members expressing themselves by secret ballot. These men do not want to strike in support of a San Pedro labor boss' unreasonable arbitrary demand that all butchers in the harbor district and Orange county areas be given the same day off duty—Monday—and so force closing meat markets on Monday. This was the issue in the strike. The market operators offered a 5-day-40-hour week and increased wages. Nobody yet has come forward with a sensible argument for the union leader's insistence on keeping all butchers off the job the same day instead of staggering the days off, as is universally done throughout the business and industrial world to transact business six days a week while keeping the work week for the individual workers down to five days or 40 hours. So long as the individual employee has his day off and his 40-hour week he has all that is due him and all that anybody has asked in Southern California until the San Pedro edict that all butchers should be off the job on Mondays, forcing the workers to close their doors and deprive the public of the privilege of buying meat two consecutive days—Sunday and Monday. This sort of dictation to mana- P.-T. A. Program By Lincoln Pupils In a special program each class of Lincoln elementary school presented songs and readings, entertaining their parents and teachers at a recent P-T-A meeting at the school. "The True Meaning of Giving" was a play staged by the fifth and sixth graders whose mothers acted as the hostesses for the occasion. Mrs. Fred Fischle, president, presided during the short business session. The next meeting, January 8, will feature a discussion by Dorothy Duncan, nutritionist. Tea was served at a large table centered with a hugs Santa, surrounded by tiny trees and candles. The arrangement was created by Mrs. George Ehrle. Presiding at the tea and coffee urns were Mrs. Theron Jolly and Mrs. William Claussen. Special guest of honor was M. A. Gauer, superintendent of schools. Acclaim Jr. Ebell Christmas Dance To strains of soft music, members of the Junior Ebell club and their escorts met for the annual Christmas dancing party in the evergreen decked clubhouse last Saturday night. The affair featured Joe Bill and his popular 16-piece orchestra. So long as the individual employee has his day off and his 40-hour week he has all that is due him and all that anybody has asked in Southern California until the San Pedro edict that all butchers should be off the job on Mondays, forcing the workers to close their doors and deprive the public of the privilege of buying meat two consecutive days—Sunday and Monday. This sort of dictation to managers and the buying public was doomed from the start by its flagrant unreasonableness to fail; it could not be defended and was condemned at the bar of public opinion as soon as started. The significant thing is that the Long Beach butchers are moving to take their union out of the hands of a boss whose wrong and blundering leadership would ruin it and are moving to make the organization responsive to its membership. This butchers' strike in a small field parallels the coal strike in the national field. In both of them the decisions were not made by the rank and file but by leaders who entrenched themselves in power until they were bosses. Labor has taken a great deal of criticism for what its bosses have done. It is time that the organized workers everywhere exercise the control which is rightfully theirs and make organized labor democratic in its methods and actions. The masses of the workers take the rap; let them take control. Cheerful informality marked the gay stage setting with a glowing fireplace arrangement the center of attraction. The huge Christmas tree stood at the opposite end of the room. Mrs. Max Schrelber was in charge of decorations. We Hope You Receive Lots of Greetings MAY WE INCLUDE OURS?
