Case Open House and Vespers of Thanks Held in New Grace Lutheran Church Open house held Sunday afternoon at the spacious new quarters of Grace Lutheran church, 700 West South st., were indicative of the progress and growth of Anaheim in general and one church in particular. A congregation which has doubled within the past three Rev. H. F. Stief officially moved into the picturesque colonial type "educational unit" the first building to be completed in a project that will eventually cover three and a half acres of ground and represent an investment of $100,-000. A vesper service of thanksgiving was held in the auditorium temporarily serving as the church edifice. Soloist for the auspicious occasion was Miss Elizabeth Lompe and organist was Miss Marilyn Schimming. Services were conducted by Rev. Stief. After the vesper service, 200 members of the congregation and their guests signed the church guest book and made a tour of inspection of the new building. Details of the actual construction which started in July, 1952, were illustrated with colored movies. Refreshments were served by the ladies of the Friendship circle. Guests attending open house to offer good wishes were Rev. Oberleiter of Ontario, chairman of the Southern Pastors' conference of the Lutheran church; Rev. Edward Krueger of Pomona, Rev. George Busdieke and Rev. O. Fischer of Santa Ana, Rev. J Peters of Laguna Beach and Rev. K. Klein of La Habra. The new building, completely modern in every respect, incorporates 14,000 square feet under one roof and is a decided contrast to the small parish unit at the corner of Palm and Elm sts which housed Grace Lutheran church for 33 years. This and other church properties have been sold to aid in the financing of the new building program. The first new building termed "educational unit" because of its eight classrooms planned to accommodate some 200 students, also features a main hall that seats 200. This is the area now being used as the church edifice and which will later be used as a recreation room. A large kitchen handsomely done in yellow tile adjoins the main room. Offices for the pastor are convenient to the main hall.

The report was made by former Assemblyman Arthur W. Coats Jr., of Marysville, who retired from the assembly to run for Congress, and was defeated. In the conclusions of the report is the statement that the committee "commends and approves the apparent purpose of the 'purity of elections' law of the state, which is to insure the fair and honest conduct of election campaigns." "We find," the report continues, "that the present law is so defective that it is worthless as an instrument for achieving this purpose. Its chief effect is to foster the very elements of deceit, extravagance and corruption which it is intended to eliminate." Coats goes on to say that the recommendations do not seek to change the purpose of the present law, but rather to clarify, reorganize and modernize the law to eliminate "the gaping loopholes which have rendered it meaningless." "We are confident that enactment of these recommendations will go a long way toward dispelling the suspicion and cynicism with which political activities are viewed by so many in these days," the report states. Pointing out that use of false misleading or irresponsible literature in election campaigns is consome subdivision adjacency site, has intervened in Costa Mesa chamber of commerce as amicus curiae, of the court."

BACKS CAMPBELL KAULBARS Mortuary Phone 209 251 N. Lemon The first new building termed "educational unit" because of its eight classrooms planned to accommodate some 200 students, also features a main hall that seats 200. This is the area now being used as the church edifice and which will later be used as a recreation room. A large kitchen handsomely done in yellow tile adjoins the main room. Offices for the pastor are convenient to the main hall. All have acoustic ceilings, asphalt tile flooring, large window areas and interesting wall treatment. One large meeting room can be converted quickly into two small rooms by means of a plastic accordion type room divider which operates on a metal track. Members of the congregation receiving congratulations from all sides yesterday were Architect Fred Liebl who drew up the plans and General Contractor Emil A. Heinze who put them into effect. When the church body, headed by congregational chairman Howard Olsen, cast about for a suitable location for the new church, surveys of the growth pattern of the community led them to choose this orange accrease at the south end of town. It is removed from heavy industry yet adjacent to the solid settlement of houses which since 1947 has gradually supplanted the orange groves from West st. to Palm in this southern section of the city. The ground is higher than the general level of the city and affords an excellent view of Mt. Baldy and surrounding ranges, an appropriate setting for the outdoor chapel being planned. At the present building tempo, the big church will swing open its doors to this lovely vista in 1953.

Property owners adjacent to the dump site, represented by Attorneys Fred Dudley and Selim Franklin, filed the motion to vacate, which was set for hearing Jan. 16 by Superior Judge K. E. Morrison, who granted the city possession, an automatic step in condemnation proceedings. The Costa Mesa attorneys contend that rubbish disposal areas are not included among properties which can be immediately acquired by public agencies in condemnation suits, under the California constitution. Mr. and Mrs. George Capron, owners of the 41-acre tract, did not contest the condemnation suit, but Republic Construction Co., which plans to build a 532-home subdivision adjacent to the site, has intervened in the suit. Costa Mesa chamber of commerce has petitioned the court to intervene as amicus curiae, or "friend of the court." To set forth its legal views on questions involved in the case. Traffic Damage Suit Filed Injuries received in a traffic accident at coast highway and Legion st. Laguna Beach June 9 President Truman Still Claiming 'We Never Had It so Good' WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. UP—President Truman made public today figures he said confirm his claims that the American people "are today better off than ever before in our history." The president said he had received a letter from Roy V. Peel, director of the census bureau, reporting that during Truman's administration the American people have made gains "unparalleled in American history." The president, in a series of interviews with correspondents, in recent documents and in the state of the union message he is sending to congress this week, seems to be summarizing the record of his administration for study by future historians as well as for his own satisfaction. Peels' letter stated: "During your administration, the people of the United States have made tremendous gains in their incomes, standard of living, education, housing and in numerous other ways which have been reflected in census figures. These gains are unparalleled in American history." The letter said that the last census, April 1, 1950, showed that there were nearly 151 million people in the United States, grouped in 45 million households with 46 million dwelling units at their disposal. Over half of all dwellings were occupied by owners and some 56.4 per cent were free of mortgage. While the total of 5,400,000 farms was smaller than in 1940, there were 78 million more acres devoted to farming. Peel said three quarters of all farms are now operated by their owners. These figures confirm the facts, obvious to most of us, that the American people are today better off than ever before in our history. I am deeply satisfied to know just how great has been our amazing progress during the last 10 years." Traffic Damage Suit Filed Injuries received in a traffic accident at coast highway and Lection st., Laguna Beach, June 2, 1951, were made the basis for a suit for $20,209.01 damages just filed in superior court by Walter Jones against Grady Beery. Jones, the complaint states, was riding as a passenger in his own car when it collided with a car driven by Beery, whom Jones charges with negligence. His injury allegedly caused recurrence of a disease of his right leg for which he asked $20,000. In addition he seeks $209.01 damages for repairs to his automobile, and an unstated sum as medical expenses. Recommends Code on Regulations Full and detailed disclosure of all contributions and expenditures in elections campaigns are in the public interest, the report says. Such disclosures have a strong tendency to discourage excessive expenditures and corrupt contributions. The present law of the state is ineffective, in the committee's opinion, for securing such disclosures. In view of this finding, the committee says that the laws should be revised to provide for a standard form for campaign statements, and for 'fuller identification' of contributors to campaigns. Further, contributions of things of value other than money should be listed. This information should be made available to the public by the secretary of state in campbell form, the report says. The letter said that the last census, April 1, 1950, showed that there were nearly 151 million people in the United States, grouped in 45 million households with 46 million dwelling units at their disposal. Over half of all dwellings were occupied by owners and some 56.4 per cent were free of mortgage. While the total of 5,400,000 farms was smaller than in 1940, there were 78 million more acres devoted to farming. Peel said three quarters of all farms are now operated by their owners. "Never before in history have so many farmers had the help of modern facilities, machinery and equipment," he reported. The latter went on to say that the census of manufacturers covering operations in 1947, enumerated 241,000 establishments "with value added by manufacturer amounting to 74.5 billion dollars," while last year, according to the annual survey of trends, "value added was about 102 billion dollars." The letter added that retail sales in 1948 totaled 130% billion dollars and at the present time retail sales exceed 160 billion. "The census bureau's current statistical reports show that there are now some 158 million Americans," the letter continued. Preliminary studies of transportation and mining, and current surveys of foreign trade carried out by the bureau of the census, indicate that in those fields, too, the achievements of the American people are without parallel in the history of the whole world. Peel gave the president copies of recent census reports. In the belief, he said, "that these facts documenting our growth and greatness as a nation, will be a source of gratification to you, the president of the United States, under whose direction this magnificent record of accomplishment was compiled." The president wrote Peel: "I appreciate most highly receiving the latest census reports which show so graphically the wonderful economic conditions of Bank of America Resources Pass $8 Billion Mark!

Total resources for the bank good at $8,201,689,368, which is a gain of $670,392,441 during the year. Adding the subsidiary Bank America-New York (International), the grand total of resources is $8,300,231,823, which is 82,971,719 higher than a year ago. DEPOSITS INCREASE Bank of America deposits as of December 31,-1952, totaled $7,-5,116,183, a 12 months gain of 69,249,388. Loans outstanding at the year 1 totalled $4,069,150,471, an increase of $436,465,122 over the previous year end. Investments in securities aggre- gated $2,413,852,775, which is 657,869 lower than last year. CAPITAL FUNDS UP Total capital funds of the bank to $424,302,145, of which $11,916,287 was added from retained 1952 earnings. In addition to these capital funds, $51,423,-848 was held in reserve for possible loan losses. Total increase for the year in this reserve and capital funds was $16,731,752. Net operating earnings before provision for Federal income taxes were $103,316,287, as compared with $96,794,581 for 1951. After provision for these taxes and transfer of $10,000,000 to the reserve for possible loan losses, net profit remaining was $50,316,287, equivalent to $2.10 per share on the 24,000,000 shares outstanding. This compares with $50,874,581, or $2.12 per share for 1951. President Carl F. Wente observed that Federal income taxes were equal to $1.79 per share, or 29 cents per share greater than in 1951. He stated that while high tax rates and increased operating costs had nullified the year's gains in gross earnings, he hoped that tax relief in 1953 would allow improvement to be shown next year. Adv.
