Help for Home Costume Designers Promised by Costuming Expert Anaheimers planning to make their own costumes for the 28th Annual Hallowe'en Festival and Mardi Gras may get expert advice. NY Pastor to Talk To Nazarenes A series of special evangelistic services are to be held in the local Church of the Nazarene, Cypress and Claudina Streets, beginning Wednesday evening at 7:30. The guest speaker for the series is the Rev. O. J. Finch, D.D., who is superintendent of the New York district of the Church of the Nazarene. Dr. Finch is formerly from California, a graduate of Pasadena College and was at one and help in planning their costumes. Mrs. Virginia Sullivan, 114 N. Citron st., who has won prizes for her costumes in former festivals, has been appointed chairman of the costuming committee which has been set up to give all kinds of assistance in costume designing including helpful hints in how to make wigs, hoop skirts, complicated headpieces and many other details that confront the novice. "Home costume making can be a lot of fun," says Mrs. Sullivan. "It's much more fun to wear a costume that you have made yourself, especially if you keep your design a secret until the very last minute." Mrs. Sullivan will be very happy to give particular assistance to those who are planning fancy dress costumes for the Miss "Slick Chick" Ball, to be held at the Anaheim Elk's Club, Friday, October 19. While fancy dress is not required but masks are, the committee hopes that many will dress in costume. Meanwhile plans for the Miss Slick Chick Ball are going along rapidly.

NAHEIM EST. 1870 GAZETE paper ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1951 Fire Chief Asks Public Help for Fire Prevention Carelessness and indifference to common fire dangers is mainly responsible for steadily rising fire losses, declared Fire Chief Stringer today in an appeal to Anaheim residents for all-out participation in Fire Prevention Week, to be observed Oct. 7-13 by proclamation of President Truman. Fire losses last year totaled $688,460,000, second highest in the nation's history, Chief Stringer pointed out. In addition, he said, 11,000 people were killed and 29,000 others were seriously injured or maimed. With losses of $375,-194,000 reported for the first six months of this year, the fire chief said the 1951 total might even exceed the all-time peak of $711,-114,000 recorded in 1948. "Fire prevention is the responsibility of all," asserted Chief Stringer. "Only by a conscientious effort to rid our homes and places of business or employment of the ordinary hazards which cause... 5 Million Allotted to County Schools ACRAMENTO (CNS) — Based on average daily attendance of 1,637 in the public school system for the fiscal year ended 30, an apportionment of 325,534.81 was made by the NFPA to the public school system. Roy E. Simpson, state subantendent of public instruction, died at the attendance to Thom H. Kuchel, state controller, will forward the apportionments to California counties. The apportionment for Orange county totaled $4,949,002.20, according to Simpson's figures. Bulk the apportionment was based on the $120 constitutional allotment per average daily attendance. The total sum apportioned to county, $3,373,734.07 was elementary schools; $950,925.95 high schools; $398,196.48 for colleges, and $228,145.70 the county school service fund.

Boys, Toastmaster of the 100 others were seriously injured or malmed. With losses of $375,-194,000 reported for the first six months of this year, the fire chief said the 1951 total might even exceed the all-time peak of $711,-114,000 recorded in 1948. "Fire prevention is the responsibility of all," asserted Chief Stringer. "Only by a conscientious effort to rid our homes and places of business or employment of the ordinary hazards which cause most fires can we hope to cut down this appalling waste of life and property." The time to start, said the chief, is during Fire Prevention Week, which is sponsored throughout the country by the National Fire Protection Association. The program is aimed at the elimination of ordinary hazards which, according to the NFPA, cause 90 percent of all fires. "Significantly," added Chief Stringer, "a substantial drop in fire losses followed Fire Prevention Week last year. But then, as people lapsed back into careless living habits, losses again began to climb. This proves that fire losses can be reduced." 'Best Best-Seller' Is Bishop's Topic "The Best Best-Seller" was the topic on which Bishop Campbell, Suffragan Episcopal Bishop of the Diocese of Los Angeles, addressed the Anaheim Rotary Club yesterday. "The Bible is The Book; it is A Book and it can and should be to each one of us My Book," said the Bishop. "The Bible is The Book because never in the history of the human race has there been a document so widely read and studied. The Bible has been translated into 100 languages and dialects from China to the jungles of Africa and from Alaska to the Islands of the South Seas. "The Bible is A Book because it doesn't do you any good unless you read it, just like any other book," continued Bishop Campbell with a smile. "A clergyman is often taken over to the family Bible when he visits a home and told how much it means to them to have Grandmother's Bible. But usually from the dust on it the Clergyman has a suspicion that" NEW YORK (P) — The New Yankees smothered the New York Giants, 13-1, today with the most runs scored in a World Series game in 15 years to take a 3-2 edge before 47,530 Polo Grounds fans. Rookie Gil McDougal hit the third bases loaded homer in series history and Phil Rizzuto punched a two-run "Chinese" homer down the right field foul line in the Yanks 12-hit barrage off the five Giant pitcher. Lefty Ed Lopat, winner of the second game, breezed home with a five hitter to beat Larry Jansen for the second time. Thus the scene shifts to Yankee Stadium tomorrow with the Yanks needing only one more win to nail down a third straight world championship for Manager Casey Stengel. This was the biggest score by a series team since 1936 when the Yanks sunk the Giants 13-5 at the Polo Grounds Oct. 6, 1936. On Oct. 2 in the same park during the '36 series they hung up the all-time high of 18-4. Yankees ... 005 202 400—13 12 1 Giants ... 100 000 000—1 5 3 FIRST YANKEES Jansen fanned Woodling.

The plaintiff is Mrs. Katharine Burke, who was joined by her husband, Pleasant Burke, in the suit against Robert Dickenson Moore, Jr., building contractor. Mrs. Genevieve Kuchel of Anaheim is one of the two women jurors in the case. Moore, who was found guilty of drunk driving, as the result of the Burke accident, and is now on probation, has admitted liability through his attorneys, Stanley Reinhaus and Clarence Sprague, of Santa Ana, but contests the amount of damages claimed by the Burkes, through their attorney, Samuel Dreizen. Mrs. Burke asks $150,000 for leg and back injuries received in the crash, which took place last March 12 on 101 highway, north of the Manchester ave. junction; at the south side of Anaheim. She also asks $40 per week for loss of earnings.* Her husband sued for $20,000 for loss of her companionship and $2500 for medical costs. In the mountainous east, communist troops held attacking American and French forces to gains of a few hundred yards—or none at all—on Heartbreak Ridge and neighboring peaks. Elsewhere along the front no significant action was reported in an early afternoon communique issued by the U. S. Eighth army. The Navy announced in Tokyo that the U. S. destroyer Ernest G.

That the defense lawyers intend to level their guns at the three psychiatrists appointed by the court to report on McCracken's sanity, all three having reported him legally sane, was indicated today by George Chula, chief defense counsel.

PCU Grants Phone Raise SAN FRANCISCO UP—The Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company today was granted a $14.452,000 rate increase which, among other things, eliminates the five cent phone call from pay booths. The increase was granted by the Public Utilities Commission. The increased rates will be effective Nov. 1. They will increase basic residence and business phone rates on an average of 15 to 75 cents a month to the company's customers the PUC said. The $14,452,000 yearly increase will have the effect of "passing on to the customers a fifth round general wage increase" in the P. T. & T. Company. The rate increase covered the California portion of the wage increases granted by the company. The changeover from the five cent to ten cent public pay phone charge will take place within eight months. It requires switching all coin boxes to take dimes instead of nickels. That the defense lawyers intend to level their guns at the three psychiatrists appointed by the court to report on McCracken's sanity, all three having reported him legally sane, was indicated today by George Chula, chief defense counsel. In questioning jurors, Chula stressed the possibility of experts making mistakes and emphasized that jurors should not accept their opinions without question. His assistant James Monroe, disclosed another prospective defense contention when he pointed out to a juror that while the law presumes McCracken to be sane, the very nature of his acts might overcome that presumption and show him to be insane. At the noon recess today there were nine men and three women in the jury box.
