The total cost of the average active case of tuberculosis, including diagnosis, treatment, hospitalization and loss of wages, has been placed by an authority at $10,000. There are probably 1500 such cases in the county, half of them undiscovered. The annual sale of Christmas Seals supported mass X-ray surveys among industries, professional groups and the protection of childhood. Each year the U.S. loses the equivalent of a full strength infantry division through deaths by fire: 10,000 persons killed annually. The non-fatal burn casualties would decimate the equivalent of several divisions. American dollars were worth 50 per cent more in 1926 than in 1920 when inflation of the first World War was at its zenith. 365 CHRISTMAS WISHES It occurs to us that the ideal and spirit of Christmas should be of three hundred and sixty-five days duration.

Center Anahei NEW YEAR—NEW LEAF About this time of the year most of us begin to get that let's-turn-over-a-new-leaf feeling. Surveys show that no less than 15 million Americans turn over 15 million new leaves each year. Their resolutions as to what they are going to do or not to do in the New Year concerns just about everything imaginable all the way from getting up earlier in the morning to going to bed earlier at night. One of the most popular things which people resolve to do is to save more—or some—money. Maybe the heavy Christmas spending encourages this feeling, but the basic motive is the constant desire which almost every person has to get ahead financially. But the wish to save and to actually save are two different things. The wish must be translated into action of handling one's money in an orderly manner. Many individuals find that by opening a bank checking account such as Tenplan they can keep better control of their funds since this type of account gives them an accurate and permanent record of their disbursements. In addition to this some persons decide on a certain amount to be saved each month or each payday and then put that amount into their bank savings account just as if it were an obligation that had to be paid. This figure should not be set so high as to make it burdensome, but it also should be high enough to require some effort on the saver's part. It has been said that some people like to make New Year's resolutions because it's fun breaking them. But the fact is it's more fun keeping them. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago January 6, 1872 A native Californian contributes the following from which it would appear that decadal floods have occurred during the last half century, at least, the flood of the present winter following in the regular order: "A flood occurred in the year 1822, when the water covered the lowlands entirely, and rose to a greater height than ever before known. Had the country been settled as now the disaster would have been very great. The next memorable flood occurred in 1832, the water not reaching the extreme height of ten years before. In 1842 there was another flood, not unlike that of 1832. The pioneer settlers of California remember the flood of 1852 and it is not necessary to dwell upon the particulars. The last great flood occurred in the winter of 1862. Sacramento was submerged; dams, mills and manufactories were carried away on the streams. Roads were destroyed, bridges disappeared and the destruction of property was very great. The winter of 1872 is supposed to complete the cycle again, promising that a flood will occur every ten years. We copy the following from a summary of notable events of 1871 in Anaheim: Jan. 1—Everybody turned over a new leaf, swore off drinking for six months. (N.B.-They all got drunk within a week). Feb. 4—Stage line to Wilmington established by Mitchell and Gibson. Feb. 10—Cloudburst in foothills northeast of city. Stream of water 160 yards wide and 4 feet deep went "marching on" over the McFadden ranch. Fred Rupp killed by Indians west of city. Two inches of rain fell on the 9th, 10th and 11th. April 19—Porter and McFadden struck artesian water near Santa Ana. April 22—Fight between Geo. W. Barter and Jimo Lynch. Barter too heavy for the land agent. Lynch goes to grass at first round. Junie 28—Planters hotel burned. Aug. 7—First ringing of fire alarm bell. Sept. 6—General election 238 votes cast. Oct. 16—Anaheim Gazette sold to Chas. A. Gardner. Nov. 18—Railroad convention held subsidy resolutions passed by bogus delegates. Nov. 25—County division meeting at Gallitin. Dec. 9—New Planters hotel opened to the public. Dec. 20—County division meeting held at Enterprise hall. During the year 11 births, 4 marriages and 6 deaths were recorded. Mass will be celebrated next Sunday morning at 10 o'clock at the Catholic church by Rev. Philip Farley. The new apportionment allows California four members of Congress instead of three as at present. The total rainfall at Anaheim this season is 5⅓ inches thus far. 50 Years Ago Father Bannon, pastor of St Boniface church in this city conducted dedicatory services at the Wilmington established by Mitchell and Gibson.

Miss Lixarraras was presented with a three-foot trophy during the 15-minute radio broadcast direct from the meeting. Announced was Gabbert Stephens, Jack Triplett is general chairman of the frolie. MISS BETTY LAUNER LEAVING FOR NEBRASKA Flying home to spend the Christmas holidays is Miss Betty Launer, secretary at the local Y. M. C. A., office. She is leaving for Fremont, Nebraska, Saturday and plans to return here January 5. A gala Christmas and New Year's reunion celebration is being planned by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Launer. We copy the following from a summary of notable events of 1871 in Anaheim: Jan. 1—Everybody turned over a new leaf, swore off drinking for six months. (N. B.—They all got drunk within a week). Feb. 4—Stage line to Farley. The new apportionment allows California four members of Congress instead of three as at present. The total rainfall at Anaheim this season is 5¼ inches thus far. 50 Years Ago Father Bannon, pastor of St. Boniface church in this city conducted dedicatory services at the opening of the new church in Santa Ana. Bishop Montgomery was present and preached an eloquent and forceful sermon. Newman Essiek, Chester Holcomb and Otto Rust have been diligently at work upon the books at the water office, auditing the accounts, so that the usual balance sheet may be submitted to the stockholders before the annual election. Lloyd Bailey and Billy Cooper left Tuesday morning for a camping trip to Riverside and San Bernardino counties. They will pay a visit to Redlands before their return and will be absent until the last of the week. Otto Strodthoff writes from Arizona wishing us a happy and prosperous New Year. He adds that it has been "snowing terribly all day, (Dec. 30), over twelve inches deep already and still coming down." Our young friend is the confidential clerk of the United Verde Copper company, of which W. A. Clark, (who is at the head of the Alamitos Sugar Company) is president, and in which company Henry Strodthoff has also a responsible position. Billy Berdrow informs us that he will trot out the street sprinkler today if it does not rain. Miss Alexandra Fray, daughter of Mr. Nebelung reports 1.30 inches of rain for the storm beginning New Year's morning, making almost 10 inches for the season. Last season the fall was in the neighborhood of three inches to date. The Rotary club has decided to hold its weekly gatherings in the grill of the new Elks club instead of in the cafeteria of the Anaheim high school as heretofore. The Kiwanis club has virtually decided on the same step. It has been holding its meetings in the Cherry Numerous private parties and public entertainments were held Saturday night for the purpose of bidding farewell to the passing year and greetings to the new one. Church bells pealed forth the glad tidings and whistles joined forces to add their note of joy. The ball given by the Elks in celebration of the completion of their new temple was a happy occasion, the big temple being filled to its capacity with merrymakers. The year 1921 was a remarkable one in the history of Anaheim, not only for its increase in population and business, but for the extent of its building operations. A new directory just issued fixes the present population at a little in excess of 8000. Two years ago this month the census takers found only 5650 people living within the city limits. Plans for the new city hall have been completed by M. Eugene Durfee, the architect, and accepted by the trustees. This will be the finest municipal building in Orange county. Speedy action to permanently repair the break in the river bank east of the city and prevent a recurrence of the overflow of last week has been taken by the Anaheim chamber of commerce and ranchers on the east side. At a mass meeting at the Grand theatre Thursday evening it was decided to raise $40,000 by voluntary contributions to bridge in the gap in the embankment east of the city with fire fence and levee. FUND GROWING FOR PRESBYTERIAN HOSPITAL Total funds contributed to the proposed new Presbyterian hospital of Orange county were reported to be $478,332.30, just $21,-667.70 short of the $500,000 goal, according to the official figures. Contributions from Anaheim total $3,265.00. In honor of the dead of World War II, giant California redwood trees, oldest of living things, are being planted as memorials in various sections of the world. CPA Reminds That Certain Controls Are Not Lifted Civilian Production Administration controls on non-housing construction have not been lifted, according to Louis M. Dreves, regional director of the OPA construction division. Although a widespread belief has arisen recently, controls and the priorities system have not been abolished. "HH ratings are still valid and must be honored by material supply houses in accordance with ceilings specified in Priorities regulation, Dreves reported." "Controls under Schedules A and B of this regulation, which deals with housing, remain unchanged and must be complied with unless otherwise changed by new directives from Washington, D.C." Dreves also stated that Veterans Housing Program Order 1 remains in operation, and will be on the books until further notice. Building material suppliers are cautioned to observe regulations regarding sales until new directives are issued by Washington, and until the liberalized housing program is outlined in greater details. The lid remains on industrial, commercial and institutional construction, with the present weekly national volume of $35,000,000 remaining as the yardstick for approvals. Approvals are expected to remain at this level until the new directives are issued.

Santa Ana Chest Goal Reached "Over the Top" is Santa Ana's community chest drive. Larry Patterson, chairman of the drive, announced that the quota of $85,509 was reached last Saturday morning and that contributions are still pouring in.
