Three Christmas Services Slated At Zion Lutheran Three special services at Zion Lutheran church will herald the precious message, "Unto you is born a Saviour," at this Christmas time. On Christmas Eve at 7 p.m. the Sunday school and school children will present the service, "Emmanuel." Not only will they tell the story of the background and the actual events of Christmas, more than 19 centuries ago but woven together with the recitations of the children film strips showing the birthday of Jesus in authentic pictures will be shown. Mr. Paul Lohr, superintendent of the Sunday school will direct the service. The assembly will be provided with a complete program and will join in the singing of outstanding Christmas carols. A brief address by Pastor Pflug will sum of the blessed meaning of the word, "Emmanuel." The second annual Christmas Light service will be held on Christmas Eve beginning at 11:30 p.m. The service is entitled, "Christmas Angels" and begins with the processional, "It Came Upon the Midnight Clear." The part played by the angels of God surrounding the birthday of Jesus will be set forth in readings, lights and in song. Two large Christmas trees prepared for the occasion by Dick Henning, and decorated with regular tiers of multi-colored lights and Christmas tinsel by the members of the Walther League and a battery of flood lights will serve as the props with the changes of lights for the unfolding of the story. To this will be added an array of Christmas songs by the Zion Male chorus, the Senior choir, soloists. A. Ehlers, E. Hill, Mrs. HELD IN SECRET DOCUMENT CASE Michael R. Rothrug, 44, an American citizen and former American intelligence agent, is handcuffed by a GI guard in Berlin, after his arrest by U.S. Army authorities.

The authorities said the missing documents were found in the German textile office operated by Rothkrug and German partner. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS.

Los Angeles St. Anaheim March of Dimes Directors Hear Stories Of Gamma Globulin in Battling Polio Results of experiments with gamma globulin in combatting polio were told the county community chairmen of the January March of Dimes drive at a national meeting in Newport Beach, by Joe F. Dowling, Southern California representative of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. "Results of experiments have shown gamma globulin's value in temporary immunization against polio and in reducing the onslaught of the disease," Dowling said. The area representative declared that gamma globulin, which is a by-product of the blood bank, has proved effective even after polio has stricken during the four to six weeks critical period after the patient has been hit. "However," he emphasized, "it is useful only in epidemic areas and it must be borne in mind that gamma globulin is not a vaccine." Dowling asserted that experiments are being conducted through the National Foundation for a vaccine, but it is not expected that it will be perfected before the next two to five years. The research projects, he said, are conducted with funds collected through the March of Dimes throughout the country. The funds for research are taken off the top of the money collected nationally because only through that method, he said, can an answer be found to combat the disease. Otherwise he added, it will simply be a case of caring for the patients for years to come without finding an answer to poliomyelitis. Dowling told the chairman that the American Red Cross is planning to increase its builder to aid the battle. Gamma globulin is derived whole blood in a process through which the obtained. The Red Pledged itself to supply through a new program. Stanley Bates, Oran'ty's fund drive chairperson presided at the meet the county chairman through complete cooof of the drive could all the county be contact given an opportunity toicipate in the drive.

Phil Wright, who was elected Lieutenant Governor at a pre-legislative conference, will head the delegation consisting of Charlyn Schmid, Gretchen Decker, Kevin Stanton, Bob Stebbins, Jim Moore, Reynette Wallace, Gertie Glover, Jan Larson and Joe Critchfield. To qualify each student wrote a bill which he would like to see become a law. On a recent evening a committee of representatives from the local service clubs judged the young people on their presentation of these bills. Serving on this committee were Wesley Weaver from Junior Chamber of Commerce, Ed Anderson of Lions Club, Bill Wiley of Kiwanis Club and Mrs. Gordon Visel from the Rotary Club. The judging was fairly done on a point basis: twenty-five points for participation in Y clubs, rated by the club leaders; twenty-five points for attendance at five pre-legislative sessions; fifteen points for participation in total program of YMCA; twenty-five points for ability to present ideas and defend them under questioning and ten points for content of bill. Cubah Plotters Spend Yuletide In Own Homes HAVANA, Cuba (P)—The Cuban Navy announced today that nine retired officers accused of plotting an armed revolt against President Fulgencio Batista have been released from military prison but still are under house arrest. The announcement gave no reason for their release but presumably it was to let the men spend Christmas with their families. They are to be tried later by a Navy court. The Navy men, including three top commanders, had been dismissed from service soon after Batista overthrew the government of Carlos Prio Socarras last March. They were arrested Saturday night a few hours after police in Mamaroneck, N.Y., seized a store of arms there that they sold were to have been used in a "Christmas revolt" in Cuba.
