Witt Eccles, is the Christmas display for the Mary Millerick Dress Shop, 220 E. Center st. The colorful work will remain up until after Dec. 25. Lights are on each evening until 10. Birth of Christ Window Constitutes Yule Display of Local Merchant Anaheim merchant John Macloghlin believes in treating the Christmas for what it really is. As a result, he has adorned the window of his Mary Millerick Dress Shop, 220 E. Center st., with a reproduction of a stained glass window depicting the Birth of Jesus of Nazareth. For three weeks, Macloghlin says, he hopes his window will remind passers-by what the Christmas season is really supposed to represent. The work was executed by Southland artist DeWitt Eccles. The central panel is the stained glass reproduction. Strong back-lighting brings out the many colors in Eccles' work, termed "Nativity." On either side, imitation concrete walls with angels in bas relief flank the central portion. The glass representation is unique, Macloghlin points out, in that it is actually plastic, covered with paint by special process originated by the artist. Eccles is himself an artist with many years experience in actual stained glass work. Macloghlin hesitates to name a price for the work. However, he indicated that he has insured for $1000 the work with which he hopes to bring the Christmas spirit, not the Xmas spirit to his Center st. store. SO NEAR, AND YET DETROIT, (P)—How close can you get? Bo McMillin's 1949 Detroit Lions dropped four National Football league games, each by the margin of a touchdown or less. His young team dropped two of the games by a total of three points. Crash Injures Orange Woman Mrs. Grace Campbell, 75, 840 N. Shaffer, Orange, suffered possible major injuries when struck by a car on Main st., at N. Palmyra ave., in Orange. Officers said Auturo Serra, 35, of 168 Lester dr., Orange, an employee of St. Joseph hospital was driver of the car. The machine clipped Mrs. Campbell as Serra swerved to avoid striking her. It spun her around sharply and she fell to the pavement. She was hospitalized. ORANGETHORPE C.D. MEETS TOMORROW Orangethorpe school district civilian defense meeting will be held tomorrow at 7:30 p.m., in the Orangethorpe school auditorium. L. A. (Dan) Patch, county administrator for Civil Defense, will address the meeting. Temporary chairman, L. C. Barrows stated that he hoped a civil defense council can be elected at this time. IRISH GRID BOOK SOUTH BEND (P)—The colorful football preview book, published by Notre Dame and used by sports writers covering the games of the fighting Irish, is being offered to the general public this season. Containing rosters, stories and pictures on the players and coaches plus data on the teams ND faces in 1950, the book sells for 50 cents. CAMELLIAS SUGGESTED AS CHRISTMAS GIFTS Usually loaded with buds, often in full bloom during the holiday season, Camellias are excellent Christmas gifts. A hapless plant, the camellia will withstand a moderately severe winter, snow and rain can play havoc with their flowers. In the northwest three varieties have recently been developed with weather conditions in mind; they are late-bloom or have unusually tough peaks which will stand more abuse. The Auburn White, with lace almost single flowers slightly blushed with pink, blooms usually in May, and there misses the heavy rains. Willette, a soft apple blossom pearlellaia, blooms in mid-season has an upright, compact growth habit. The Mrs. Schafer Wine is a semi-double which blooms little earlier than mid-season, which has strong petals that will not brown. Planting of potted camellia which have been given for Christmas gifts, can be held off until March when all the buds will have flowered. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LECTURE BROADCAST Residents of this vicinity hear a lecture on the subject "Christian Science: A Foundation for World Brotherhood and Peace" which will be radio over Station KFWB (980 Friday evening, December 8, 8 o'clock, from Thirteenth Church of Christ, Scientist, Los Angeles). The lecturer, Arthur C. Wiley, C. S., of Chicago, is a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship.

Center St.—Anaheim No connections with any other restaurant Anaheim Gazetteer by JOHN S. NEUBAUER 1950 DECEMBER 1950 PERSONALITIES — Harold (Skeets) Gregg defeated Douglas Wheeler, 2 and 1, in Willowick's Men's President's Cup tourney and will meet Wally Taft, defending champion, next week. Though golf seems to be burly Anaheimer's first love, he is an outstanding baseball pitcher and has done more than his share of spreading the fame of Anaheim over these United States. Greg played ball for the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Brooklyn Dodgers, which is quite an accomplishment any way you look at it. HAL GREGG IS AN ANAHEIM BOOSTER ANAHEIM CITY PARK WAS DEVELOPED WITH MONEY VOTED IN BOND ISSUES — WHEN AND HOW MUCH? Had it not been for a back injury, the Anaheimer would undoubtedly have won a niche for himself in baseball's hall of fame. The late James S. Gouldin, Anz- heim's scouting policy claimed the star athlete his proteges. Besides being an o golfer and ball player, exceptional snooker expert. Incidentally, Gregg was for Indianapolis last sie lieves that Al Lopez, catcher who replaced B reau, will do wonders ager. Gregg rates Lopez O'Doul as the best man played for.

Incidentally, Gregg who played for Indianapolis last season believes that Al Lopez, the ex-catcher who replaced Lou Boudreau, will do wonders as a manager. Gregg rates Lopez and Lefty O'Doul as the best managers he's played for. FACTUALLY—Anaheim's spacious City park was developed with funds—two $100,000 bond elections—voted in 1920 and 1923. La Palma park was a WPA project that transformed the old Valencia Orange show grounds into a beauty spot. BREVITIES — Anaheimers are boosting Ed Gaines, the Carbon Canyon cowboy, for the Honorary Marshal's job for the 1951 New Year's parade at Pasadena. The old stage coach driver took part in the first 'pea-rade' staged by the Hunt club. Don Moss is learning his trade the hard way—by working at it. Frank X. DeMeneces almost missed seeing USC upset his favorite football team. Someone "borrowed" his tickets... J. F. Lemon, who incidentally, is a Notre Dame booster, has seen the Fighting Irish play three times. They lost each time, too... Don Hall would like to know just who appropriated his hub caps: Bob Strain, the Blue Goose packing plant manager, also is driving without his hubcaps on... The Highway Death toll for Orange county is 82 for 1950; Staff Sgt. John P. Chlebowski was No. 81 and Margaret Forristel was No. 82. Death lurks at the cross road. Take it easy—watch, look and live... Tom Hoag knows there's truth in the old adage about a prophet being unheralded in his own back yard. Dan Patch hasn't asked him about his defense plan—a plan even Clifford (Red) Potts endorses highly. REMEMBER—The guy who gets most of the breaks, makes them. More than 44,000 veterans of both World Wars have taken advantage of the State's low-cost "Cal-Vet" plan of home and farm financing. The interest rate has been 3 per cent since 1946. Early Drafted to Fill Ross Spot WASHINGTON (AP)—President Truman "drafted" Stephen T. Early today for temporary service as his press secretary. Long time press secretary to the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Early will serve until Mr. Truman picks a permanent successor to Charles G. Ross, who died suddenly last night. Early is now an official of Pullman, Inc. Mr. Truman drafted him once before to serve as Deputy Secretary of Defense under former Defense Secretary Louis Johnson. MAINE COOLER COLDER THAN CALIFORNIA'S RIVERSIDE (AP)—"Come and get me, sheriff," said the voice on the phone. "It's cold in this Maine jail and I want to come back to California." Sheriff Carl Rayburn obliged. He dispatched a deputy to Holden, Me., to take into custody Everetz George. George escaped from the Blythe, Calif., jail a month ago while awaiting trial on auto theft charges.
