Dickens himself, while pennning the Christmas classic, was so absorbed in the plot, so excited over the development of his composition, that he is said to have wept and laughed as he wrote. The reality with which he clothed his phantasmal characters, on presentation to the public, brought the author amazing popularity. Helping the world to laugh through his literary versatility, his vivacity and comic vigor, Dickens enjoyed public favor greater than that of any other living writer in his time. People found in his works, including "A Christmas Carol," a spirit of merriment never before achieved, filled with the bustle of human movement and enriched by his extraordinary inventive talents. "A Christmas Carol" immortalizes the fictional but typical character of Scrooge, who experiences a remarkable transformation from miserly grumbler to generous benefactor overnight: Tiny Tim, a brave and cheerful little cripple; Bob Cratchett, a hard-working optimist and his warm-hearted family.

Judge Franklin enrolled Huntington Beach pulled the overall average on all California-Arizona oranges down about 20c a box below that of the previous week. Small size valencias also were undoubtedly affected by the sharp decline in the Florida orange market as the week's average was only slightly above $3.00 a box delivered in the auction markets on fruit from the southern state. The original prorate of 1350 cars of Central California navels for the week was incerased to 1450 cars by the Orange Administrative committee as shipments moving before Dec. 12 will reach eastern markets in time for holiday sales. Shipments after that date will be too late for the Christmas market except in the far western area. The committee set the prorate for the week ending Dec. 15 at 800 cars of Central California navels; 125 cars of Arizona navels; 64 cars of early maturing Southern California navels; and open movement on Northern California navels. Florida estimates shipments for next week at 3000 cars of oranges; 1000 cars of tangerines; and 900 cars of grapefruit. There was little change in lemon demand during the week ending Dec. 8.' Sales were about in line with those of the previous week but the f.o.b. average dropped approximately 50c a box due to the fact that current shipments are running heavy to small sizes which are selling at lower prices. Prorate for the week ending Dec. 15 was set at 225 cars by the Lemon Administrative committee. 40-Acre School Site Purchased By FUHS Board Purchase of a new 40-acre site in Buena Park by Fullerton Union high school district was announced recently by Superintendent Stanley Warburton. Located between Dale and Magnolia, Valencia and Orangethorpe, the area will serve Buena Park and Orangethorpe elementary school districts in the future. Price of the land, partially in citrus, was $2750 per acre, including mineral rights now under oil lease and yielding $5 per acre per month, as well as water rights, it was stated. Members of the Educational Advisory committee from this area include Dr. Max Henderson, C. W. Nieman and Norman Lombard of Orangethorpe, and Paul L. Godding, J. Franklin Sullivan and Harold V. Grove of Buena Park. Members of the Board of Trustees, including D. Gordon McComber of Buena Park, concluded the purchase. In addition to approval by the State Division of School Planning, the Orange county superintendent of schools indicated agreement on the purchase in view of expected growth in northern Orange county. With 1557 students now attending Fullerton Union high school, next year's population is estimated at 1765. Normal capacity of the Fullerton campus will be reached by 1953 with anticipated enrollment of almost 2000 students. "The new purchase now assures a conveniently located site at reasonable price, for expansion of secondary facilities in the Buena Mrs. E. Herrmann Dies at Home Sun. Elizabeth K.

With 1557 students now attending Fullerton Union high school, next year's population is estimated at 1765. Normal capacity of the Fullerton campus will be reached by 1953 with anticipated enrollment of almost 2000 students. "The new purchase now assures a conveniently located site at reasonable price, for expansion of secondary facilities in the Buena Park area," Warburton declared. "Economical construction will be possible, with adequate space for other necessary activities of a varied high school program." Funds for the purchase were assured by voters of the district on May 18, 1950. Previously a 38.49 acre site was secured near La Habra, for a secondary school to serve the La Habra-Lowell elementary district as population growth necessitates additional units. Indicative of the effects of "war baby" maturity are known facts concerning kindergarten enrollment in the district which has increased from 630 in 1950 to 657 last year and 929 this year, the superintendent stated. As a result, the district high school population is expected to increase to 2271 by 1955, and 2711 by 1957. Nine years hence, according to this projection scale, 3212 boys and girls will be of high school age. These figures are most conservative since they do not include any movement into the district. Eat More California Oranges Texas Teenager Recounts Cold Day in Lake DENISON, Tex. — A west Texas teenager today recounted the harrowing experience of watching his companions slip, one by one, from their overturned boat on cold, wind-swept lake Texoma on the Texas-Oklahoma border. Four youths drowned. The lad, Robert Davenport, 17, Odessa, spent nearly 30 bitter hours on the lake, puch of the time in sub-freezing weather. He was in the water about 10 hours, his numb body buffeted by 10:15 foot waves. Temperature on the lake dropped to 20 to 25 degrees, weather men estimated. A 15-18 mile-per-hour wind, whipped through Davenport's soaked clothing, sapped what little warmth his body generated. The teenager was semi-conscious when found on a small island. His rescuer almost didn't find him, Dr. W. C. McCaskill, Dallas dentist; was leaving when he heard a thin cry and found the numb youth. War Veteran Dies In Sleep at 74 Frank E.
