Christmas Christmas—what a magic word; what a magic season. Christmas—gay colors and joyous laughter, shining lights and shining eyes, the smell of pine, the crackle of the open fire, the suspense and excitement of Christmas eve, the happy shrieks on Christmas morn, the gathering of family and friends, the traditional carols, the dinner with all its trimmings. But Christmas is more than an occasion for gift-giving and gift-getting. It is more than a season for parties and good fellowship. It is more than a time for sentiment and surprises. Christmas calls for some serious thought as well as happy chatter. It calls for quiet moments as well as noisy hours. It calls for some contemplation of its real meaning and of the life and work of the man whose birth we honor. Christmas should not only be celebrated, it should be lived. We should let its spirit govern our lives every day of the year. If we do this we shall help to establish greater unity and understanding among men and give to the nations those priceless gifts of vakia and the apparent suicide of Mass the formation of the union of westerners; and the Italian elections. By way of comparison, here were ten stories of 1947 listed in the order their importance: high cost of living, cold war; passage of the Taft-Hartley law; the Howard Hughes-Meyers investigation; Texas City disaster; Princess Eliza romance and marriage; partition of series of airplane disasters; Palestine lem; and World Series between the Lynn Dodgers and New York Yankees. Why Work? The charge that grafters are ill drawing $32½ million a year in unemployment insurance does not come as a surprise. It has been an open secret long time that the insurance fund was “worked” by persons not entitled benefits. State Senator Fred H. Kraft Diego, who made the charge, says check showed that 13 per cent of those ing unemployment assistance actually jobs. In addition to this type of out-a-chiseling there is also a lot of money paid out of the jobless fund to person certainly have no right to payment. Christmas calls for some serious thought as well as happy chatter. It calls for quiet moments as well as noisy hours. It calls for some contemplation of its real meaning and of the life and work of the man whose birth we honor. Christmas should not only be celebrated, it should be lived. We should let its spirit govern our lives every day of the year. If we do this we shall help to establish greater unity and understanding among men and give to the nations those priceless gifts of peace and happiness. Then the cry “Merry Christmas” will echo and re-echo with a deeper, richer meaning throughout the world. Big Stories of ’48 Stories of dramatic interest and far-reaching effect were not lacking in the year just closing. The top ten selected by the United Press recalls the excitement, and in some cases the shock, of each. Unsurprisingly, the presidential election heads the list. Every fourth year it is naturally one of the big stories. But this year with the stunning Truman victory it overshadowed all others. Rated No. 2 on the news “hit parade” is the Berlin airlift and cold war. That story may be with us for a long time yet. The high cost of living is ranked third. With most of us it’s first. Others in order of their importance are: Mrs. Kasenkina’s escape from the Russian consulate; Ghandi’s assassination; the death of Babe Ruth; the China civil war; the U.S. spy investigation: the founding of Israeli and Bernadotte’s assassination; and the birth of Princess Elizabeth’s baby. Besides these there were many more events which at least rate “honorable mention” for their newsworthiness. For example, the rift between Tito and the Cominform; the Communist coup in Czechoslovakia; Sacramento; Washington; Weather!!! (Continued from page 1) district would definitely not approve individual applications but that joint application by the county cities would stand a “good chance” of receiving a favorable decision, certain cities, including Orange and Tustin are going ahead with attempts to get together for the purpose of collective action. It is felt that if the incorporated areas would use Metropolitan water, the increasing draw on the underground supply would be halted and sufficient water would court suit to decide the California-Arizona dispute and pending a decision by the higher court, no new water diversion projects on the lower Colorado to be authorized by Congress. Thus the ultimate solution of Orange county’s water problem rests in Washington although everyone concurs that a good wet winter would do no harm in relieving the present disastrous water shortage in the county.

It is felt that if the incorporated areas would use Metropolitan water, the increasing draw on the underground supply would be halted and sufficient water would be maintained for agricultural use. Orange county cities already in the Metropolitan district are: Anaheim, Santa Ana, Fullerton and Newport Beach. Washington Holds Key But approval of the central Arizona project in Washington would cut in half the amount of Colorado water that southern California has counted on and put an end to any further expansion of the Metropolitan water district. This would leave Orange county without and further source of water and result in far-reaching effects on industrial expansion and maintenance of present agricultural levels within its boundaries. California under existing agreement is entitled to 4,400,000 acre-feet. California has a further river but 3,850,000 acre-feet are allocated to the Imperial and Palo Verde valleys, leaving Metropolitan with the remainder of 550,000 acre-feet. California has a further right to one-half of the surplus water which has been estimated at 1,100,000 acre feet giving California an additional 550,000 and a total of 1,100,000 on which the Metropolitan has been basing its organization. Here's where the controversy enters with Arizona claiming a priority of 1,000,000 acre feet of this surplus reducing Metropolitan's share of California water just about one half. Supreme Court Decision Urgent California strongly favors the adoption by Congress of a joint resolution authorizing a Supreme Thus the ultimate solution of Orange county's water problem rests in Washington although everyone concurs that a good wet winter would do no harm in relieving the present disastrous water shortage in the county. Navel Sales Heavier During Past Week (Continued Page 9) another 100 cars to interstate shipments. The customary Florida shipping "holiday," after the Christmas season, during which time the harvesting, packing and shipment of all citrus fruit destined for fresh channels is prohibited, was announced again this year. During the period December 24 to January 2, no fresh citrus will move from the southern state to give the wholesale and retail trade an opportunity to clean up current inventories on Florida oranges. The California lemon market showed little change during the week ending December 18. Total sales were just slightly ahead of the previous week and the f.o.b. average was a few cents lower. Good quality, large size lemons are in strong demand at very satisfactory prices, but heavy supplies of small sizes and off quality fruit continue to exert an unfavorable influence on average returns. Demand is normal for seasonal uses and trade supplies are about in line with demand. Prorate for the week beginning December 19 was set at 225 cars, the same as the previous week. Rural Life and Ed.

IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago January 3, 1874 The Ball The old year was, figuratively speaking, kicked out by the Anaheim Turn Verein at their Ball on Wednesday evening. Enterprise hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion with festoons of blossoms and wreaths of boxing gloves, dumb bells, foils, etc., while leaping boards and clubs were intertwined in a manner which reflected great credit on the committee under whose supervision the decorations were made. The company was the most recherche ever assembled in Anaheim. The supper provided by Menzel was the chef d'oeuvre of that renowned caterer, while the excellence of the music was the subject of much favorable comment. Financially the affair was a huge success so much so as to cause a slight discussion among the members of the Verein, as to the proper disposition of the funds. Some are in favor of erecting a building similar to the Odd Fellows hall, while others are in favor of a less pretentious building. It is to be hoped that the different views will be reconciled and the matter adjusted without producing any serious dissension among the members.
