Joy to the World As Christ’s birthday nears, the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America has sounded a call for less commercialism of the holy season this year and greater emphasis on the “spiritualization” of Christmas. The holidays, the council pleads, should be rescued from “turkey, tinsel and gifts.” The council is right, of course. The true meaning of Christmas is the spirit that prompts the giving, not the gifts themselves. And there is no question that on occasion, the reindeer bearing Santa and his bag of toys seem to overtake the camel caravan of the Three Kings of Orient. Nevertheless, it was the Three Wise Men who first came bearing gifts on Christmas Day, and it was their happy thought that has prompted Christians to do the teaching facilities each year, regardless of how fast their rate of growth might be. Too Many Taxes!!! On January 3, 1950, the Senate of the United States reconvenes and one of the first things to come before that body is the question of the repealing of the “fair” ten-cent tax on oleomargarine. Before that austere body adjourned last October, H.R. 2023, already passed by the House and approved by the Senate Finance Committee, was set down as the first order of business by the Democratic Policy Committee. All H.R. 2023 needs is a vote by the Senate. For every pound of oleomargarine sold, there’s a ten-cent federal tax that is paid by you—and you—and you, the consumer. This among the many other hidden taxes adds another great burden to IN THE DAY LONG AGO By MRS. H. January 2, 1875 Sylvester eve had been fix upon by the Anaheim Lodge Odd Fellows as the occasion for grand ball, the proceeds of which were to be devoted to charitable purposes, and accordingly on the evening a goodly number of boys young and older folks of Anaheim assembled at Enterprise hall in the good old style danced old year out and the New Year. The Anaheim string band finished the music and compared vorably with the best city bands. Yesterday morning the last rite was laid and the last spike driven on the Anaheim Branch railway. We learn from Mr. Tyler, the agger for the company at this place, that the necessary buildings will be completed in a couple of weeks as to allow the regular transportation of freight and passengers on the route between this place and the San Pedro branch. Mr. Chapin, who lately purchased 40 acres of land in “Lone Pine” settlement, has commenced the boring of an artesian well upon his place. At last he counts although only seventy-five feet down the water had risen within two feet of the surface and the prospect was that he would attain a large flow in less than The council is right, of course. The true meaning of Christmas is the spirit that prompts the giving, not the gifts themselves. And there is no question that on occasion, the reindeer bearing Santa and his bag of toys seem to overtake the camel caravan of the Three Kings of Orient. Nevertheless, it was the Three Wise Men who first came bearing gifts on Christmas Day, and it was their happy thought that has prompted Christians to do the same ever since. Some religious holidays may call for austerity and sober faces, but not Christmas. Christmas is a time of joy: of peace, goodwill, giving and sharing. Turkey and tinsel surely are no more out of place than gold and frankincense and myrrh. The council is right, of course—but perhaps unduly concerned. For it's difficult for even the most irreverent ever to forget the Christmas story. As long as the great joy at Christmas time remains the joy of giving—and it always seems to—Christmas will remain the truly spiritual occasion it should be. Don't Be a Statistic Do you expect to be alive on Christmas Day? — or on New Year's Day. In asking that question, Clifford E. Peterson, commissioner of the California highway patrol, states that last December 328 people were killed and 8,705 injured, making it the "bloodiest month in history." The commissioner bluntly warns that "the outlook this month is just as bleak." If you plan on being alive to start the new year, here are some helpful hints from Commissioner Peterson: Keep your car under control at all times, regardless of traffic and weather conditions. Obey all the traffic laws, signs and signals. Be extremely cautious during fog and in rainy weather. Make courtesy an important part of your traffic habits. Don't drive after drinking. In other words, don't be a statistic! My, How Junior Has Grown! When you thumb through the mail order catalogue to order school togs for the new term, you don't go by Junior's last year's measurement. For Junior and Mary, as every parent knows, have For every pound of oleomargarine sold, there's a ten-cent federal tax that is paid by you—and you—and you, the consumer. This among the many other hidden taxes adds another great burden to the tax-paying public; the working people who pay the greater portion of the tax bill. Every housewife can help greatly in bringing about the repeal of the unfair discrimination against wholesome, nutritious, economical yellow margarine. Colored margarine, which housewives of California have been privileged to get since October 1, has greatly alleviated the household task of doing the coloring job at home. Ten cents less on the pound of margarine would greatly aid the food budget, where every cent must do its fullest duty. Write your Senators in Washington TODAY and ask him to help the housewife in eliminating this tax. Senators from California are William F. Knowland and Sheridan Downey, both of whom can be reached by addressing them in care of the Senate Building, Washington, D.C. Write them today! Don't Reform the Hoover Reforms In an encouraging message from his Florida vacation retreat, President Truman has informed a citizens committee working toward adoption of the Hoover Commission reforms in government that he will aid the drive for "improved operating practices within the government" by actively carrying the program to Congress. In that, the President has the blessing and good wishes of the overwhelming majority of the American people. For Federal reforms instituted by Congress and the President, on the recommendation of the Hoover Commission, already promise a saving to the country of some $1,250,000,000 annually—and that represents only 20 per cent of the changes suggested by the Hoover group. There is cause for reflection on the President's offer of assistance, however. Mr. Truman sent seven reorganization plans to Congress during the past session. Six were Mr. Chapin, who lately chased 40 acres of land in "Lone Pine" settlement, has commenced the boring of an artes well upon his place. At last he counts although only seventy-feet down the water had risen within two feet of the surface as the prospect was that he would attain a large flow in less than hundred feet.

The O.O.O. club of Orange gave their first entertainment on Monday evening to nearly three hundred people. The program consisted of singing, reading of tracts from the "Orange Observer," a monthly paper issued by club, tableau recitations and carades.

At 4:30 p.m., inches had fallen. The precipitation to date is 4.93 inches. Lily year to date we had .76 of an inch. At the last meeting of the Formal association the following officers were elected: G. Spencer, past president; Dr. G. S. Edgerton; Mrs. E. Seale, vice-president; F. S. Gates, secretary; Schumacher, treasurer; Mrs. Morton, chaplain; Mrs. C. Bittridge; Charles Bauer, observant Wm. Pannier, sentinel; Chas N. Man, trustee; Miss L. Schumachi pianist; V. R. Cayce, captain team. Frank Ey was in town on Tu Don't drive after drinking. In other words, don't be a statistic! My, How Junior Has Grown! When you thumb through the mail order catalogue to order school toys for the new term, you don't go by Junior's last year's measurement. For Junior and Mary, as every parent knows, have a way of shooting up surprisingly fast in a very short space of time. Some of the schools California children attend have a way of growing surprisingly fast, too. In Contra Costa county, for example, there were enrollment increases this year up to 39 per cent, and increases of 15 and 20 per cent were common in districts scattered all over the state. Yet state funds are apportioned to local school districts on the basis of last year's measurements—and too often they just don't fit! That's why an emergency appropriation of a million dollars for the State Department of Education has been proposed at the special session of the Legislature. The money is needed to keep many school districts operating—to provide money for increased teaching staffs, school buses and other operational needs. This emergency, however, is likely to pop up every year, as long as California continues its rapid growth. A proposal to cope with the situation permanently would change the formula for computing yearly appropriations to school districts on the basis of current attendance, instead of that of the previous year's, as done at present. The proposed change seems like a sensible and simple solution to the problem. It would remove the recurring need for blanket, unbusinesslike, emergency appropriations. And it would enable school districts to provide proper For Federal reforms instituted by Congress and the President, on the recommendation of the Hoover Commission, already promise a saving to the country of some $1,250,000,000 annually—and that represents only 20 per cent of the changes suggested by the Hoover group. There is cause for reflection on the President's offer of assistance, however. Mr. Truman sent seven reorganization plans to Congress during the past session. Six were passed. But Congress turned thumbs down on Reorganization Plan number one, for it was not in keeping with the Hoover Commission recommendations. Instead, it would have thrown together welfare, education and public health activities in one Department of Welfare. To the contrary, and for very good reason, the Hoover Commission recommended that all measures relating to health be consolidated under a separate department with cabinet rank. America wants—and needs—reorganization of the Executive Branch of the Federal Government. So that the entire Hoover Commission program isn't placed in jeopardy, it's to be hoped that an attempt to reform the Hoover reforms isn't made again. Albert E. Roberts Death Sunday Death came to Albert E. Roberts at his home at 618 North Lemon street on Sunday, December 18. Born in St. Johns, New Brunswick, Canada, 74 years ago, he came to the United States in 1909 and had resided in Anaheim since 1940. Surviving are a son, Harry W.

Frank Ey was in town on Tuesday from Santa Ana on business Frank made a trip to Los Angeles some weeks ago on the occasion of the visit of Major General Shafter and called upon General whom he found to be gentleman of affability and pleasing address. Frank's eldest son cupples a position as clerk at General's headquarters in San Francisco and the General recalled him immediately on becoming quainted with his caller. A pleasant conversation resulted and Mr. Frank thinks there is nobody General Shafter. Fred Lewis and Ed Zeus had gone into partnership and had purchased the livery stable longing to L. F. Lewis. They will assume charge of their new business the first of the week. Zeus had been foreman of our compositor room for several years and retiring to take up a new line of business.

On Tuesday evening of last week one of the largest crowds ever assembled in Anaheim looked on with unflagging interest at the exhibition given by the school children for the purpose of obtaining funds to procure the appliances for a gymnasium. The exercises consisted of singing, declamations and short character dialogues and were conducted in a manner which not only gratified the sensibilities of the audience but reflected most credit upon the efficiency of the teachers. We learn from Mr. Guinn that after paying all expenses there will remain to be devoted to the purposes of the entertainment about $54. Anaheim Lodge No. 199, IOOF on last Tuesday evening elected the fololwing gentlemen to serve as officers for the following year: S. H. Dyer, N.G.; H. Knappe, V.G.; E. E. Mielenz, R.S.; R.

We were pleased to see our friend Squires of Upper Santa Ana in town again and still more pleaed to learn that the scarlet percentage in the Anaheim area is probably very small. Characterized by spirited bidding, an auction sale of 223 acres of land, near the county hospital, part of the estate of the late Geo. Ford, prominent pioneer, resulted this week in the acquisition of the tract by J. E. Schumacher of Anaheim for $155,005. The sale was conducted by Superior Judge Z. B. West as executor.

Wilson also submitted bids. The Anaheim Union Water Company has put up gates on its property around Yorba Linda Lake, and is attempting to keep traffic off the road which now encircles the lake on the south side. It is understood that trucks have been using the road and cutting the roadway. The company is planning to prohibit traffic on the road.

Letters to the Editor EXPLAINS STAND Sirs: In view of the recent con- versy over my request for re- ing of property belonging to son and I at Olive and South I should wish to explain the currumbances which brought ther tition about. We have owned this tract land for twenty years and du- this time it has never been up sale. However at various tim e we have been approached as asked to consider selling it for dustrial purposes. Recently we were asked again and advised have it re-zoned as under the prent R-1 zone it could not be developed. It was pointed out to us that the west side of the Santa tracks there is already a strip property, 130 by 140 feet wide on the same on the east side of O and the Southern Pacific trazoned for manufacturing. An M-2 zone calls for light dustries such as the KiwiKset L company. This plant with its payroll is a credit to our town what we need is more of them the more better. That's the son for our re-zoning petition. At the time of the first pu hearing before the city plan commission, my son asked, "I let's go to the hearing."

Crawford for another four years upon expiration of his present contract July 1, 1950. Superintendent Crawford has been with the Santa Ana school system for 25 years, coming to teach history in the Santa Ana high school in 1925. Between 1931-33 Crawford was director of adult education-and in 1932 was elected assistant vice-principal of the high school. The growth of Santa Ana College made it necessary for Dana King Hammond to devote full time as director of the college and in 1935 Lynn H. Crawford was elected principal of the senior high school. Eleven years later, upon retirement of Supt. Frank Henderson, Crawford was elected superintendent of schools effective July 1, 1946.

He said, "That's just the way I feel about it, and I'm not going either." But after a lot of coaxing on my part he went anyway. We still have the same fee and wish to say we have the council, the city planning commission and the Chamber of Commerce to look after the welfare of the city and whatever their decision is—is ours.

Center street last night (Wednesday) not long after the door closed at 10:40 o'clock. According to the manager, blaze stopped the theater's ceil at 11:08. Shortly after this time the Anaheim fire department answered the alarm. Faulty wiring is believed to be a possible factor which may have caused the conflagration.

Receive Seven Variance Bids (Continued from page 1) family dwelling at 1125 West Chestnut street. This property is in a single family zone and at present there is a residence on the back of the lot. Conditional The planning commission recommended All-American markets operators of the Garden City Produce company at Manchester and Lincoln be allowed to continue operation of their market providing original conditions of variance granted 6 months ago are met within 60 days The petitioners had agreed to among other things to keep all produce under cover. The petition of William S. and Rose C. Fukuda, 15111 East Orange street, as owners, for permission to erect a frame and stucco building for the sale of produce raised on this property and other property owned by them was held over for further study. This property is located at 1901 East Anaheim-Olive road, in Anaheim extension and is at present in a single family residence zone. Neighboring residents filed protest before the commission. Deny Chicken Farm Denied was the petition of Clair and Betty Liebhart, as owners, 946 North West street, for permission to operate a commercial chicken and rabbit farm on the rear portion of their lot. Property owners living near the address of the petitioners protested granting the variance in the R-1 zone.

Truxaw Suffers Stroke His many friends in this city were sorry to learn that Dr. J. W. Truxaw, 887 South Los Angeles street, Anaheim, is confined to St Joseph hospital, Orange, following a sudden stroke he suffered early Monday morning at his home. Greatest concern to the local physician, according to his family, is that, for the first time in 28 years, he was forced to miss a Rotary club meeting. One of his first requests was for a "make-up" card to the Orange club to compensate for the Monday luncheon session which he could not attend here. Dr. Truxaw has been resting quietly at St. Joseph for the past two days. His condition is reported slightly improved but he is expected to need a long rest. Also for the first time in his life, the doctor found himself a patient in a hospital rather than an attending physician. Up to and including the night before his attack, he had actively been practicing medicine here. His family, however, stated that he had not been feeling well for the past two weeks. Most of the Truxaw family members living out-of-town who planned to gather here for the Christmas holiday, are coming now due to his illness.

Dr. Rhone prefaced his statement to the grand jury by saying that the medical society is in complete accord with the grand jury charge that lack of able management is the basic problem at the hospital.
