MAKING PLANS FOR FINANCIAL DRIVE FOR M. E. CHURCH At a meeting of the First Methodist church Thursday evening, plans were made for the financial drive for the new church. It is planned to make a short campaign of six days rather than extend it over several months. Pledges will be solicited on a minimum total of $30,000 and it is expected to obtain at least $40,000 so that the church can be furnished without further solicitation. The financial campaign will be conducted very similarly to the recent war drives, with a central committee directing a dozen or more teams of two. Vote to Proceed The official board of the church has voted unanimously to proceed with the plans for completed church—auditorium, Sunday school rooms, pipe organ, etc.—and not a mere section as was planned a year ago.

RED CROSS NOTES More workers are needed for the emergency sewing. All workers who feel that they are entitled to the certificate for 400 hours' work, must present their statement to the secretary or to Mrs. R. H. Sealem, not later than next Monday, so that committees may complete their work in awarding the certificates. After the certificates are issued those who wish badges must purchase them. Knitting is to be resumed. Orders have come from the national Vote to Proceed The official board of the church has voted unanimously to proceed with the plans for completed church—auditorium, Sunday school rooms, pipe organ, etc.—and not a mere section as was planned a year ago. The plans, drawn by Norman Marsh, Pasadena architect, will be submitted to contractors for bids immediately.

Elliott Chairman W. J. Elliott has been elected chairman of the finance committee, Lloyd Moore, secretary and with the pastor, Rev. J. F. Humphrey, and two others will form an executive committee for the drive. There will be another meeting of the entire finance committee next Tuesday evening, when territory will be allotted to the various teams. There have already been a number of very liberal subscriptions received. One man, in addition to a very liberal contribution, has announced that if the finance committee will sell a six-acre grove of four and five-year-old Valencias at $6,000, he will give $2000 of this in addition. A number of business men outside the church, interested in seeing the improvement made, have also suggested that they would like to assist. SAYS JURY ORDER WILL BE PUSHED C. E. Jones Anaheim member of the county grand jury, says at the session this week the discovery that the jury's recommendation Anaheim city council should refund to the city treasury about $400 allowed J. Kellenberger for attorney's fees in fighting a suit brought by Bert Kern All workers who feel that they are entitled to the certificate for 400 hours' work, must present their statement to the secretary or to Mrs. R. H. Sealem, not later than next Monday, so that committees may complete their work in awarding the certificates. After the certificates are issued those who wish badges must purchase them. Knitting is to be resumed. Orders have come from the national Headquarters, American Red Cross, that will set needles to clicking all over the Pacific Division. The need for refugee garments is vital. Stockings, mufflers and sweaters for children and shawls for women must be made in great quantities. Directions for making the garments can be had at chapter headquarters. Loyal women, the Red Cross looks to you to help clothe the destitute of the world. SALVAGE CONFERENCE Delegates from 21 Red Cross chapters in the Riverside district will meet Feb. 27 in an all-day conference called by the Pacific Division Bureau of Salvage and Shop. One of the principal topics for discussion will be the relationship of Junior Red Cross work to Salvage and Shop. A question box will be featured.

HEDSTROM IS IN THE RESERVES George Hedstrom, who has been stationed at San Pedro for eight months, returned home Tuesday. He is still a member of the naval reserve altho he has been in active action. WEDNESDAY LUNCH SAYS JURY ORDER WILL BE PUSHED C. E. Jones Anaheim member of the county grand jury, says at the session this week the discovery that the jury's recommendation Anaheim city council should refund to the city treasury about $400 allowed J. Kellenberger for attorney's fees in fighting a suit brought by Bert Kern had not been compiled, with brought the announcement that some kind of court action would be instituted forthwith. Jones said it is likely this would come in the form of a civil suit by some citizens. Jones says Kellenberger was not entitled to city funds for attorney's fees since Kern's suit was a civil action. Jones says that City Attorney Ames, in testifying before the grand jury, said he had recommended that the city council legally could not pay the money. Jones also says former Assistant District Attorney Koepsel testified he had told Kellenberger that he could not expect to get the fees from the council. Of the amount the council voted Kellenberger, $250 went to Koepsel after he had sued to collect. At the time he appeared before the grand jury, Ames says Kellenberger had not paid him the $100 the city allowed for the purpose. Jones thinks the matter should be straightened up by the council demanding return of the money by Kellenberger. Ben Baxter, Cement Pipe, Pac 175R1 300,000 Fruit Trees. All leading varieties.

Orfrom the national EPISCOPAL CHURCH CAMPAIGN SUCCESS The campaign for funds for the improvement of the Episcopal church is proceeding successfully. Both parishioners and businessmen of other denominations are responding liberally. Pledges may be sent to the rectory Rev. G. R. Messias, or to Messrs. V. D. Loly, J. M. McDuell, A. Glen Wright or M. G. Settle. The plans call for a most attractive Episcopal church, in keeping with the idea of "Better Churches for Anaheim." ENTERTAINS CLUB The members of the Elite Club were pleasantly entertained at the home of Mrs. F. Heying on the Lo-ara Road yesterday. Following the games prizes were awarded to Mrs. W. E. Duckworth, Mrs. H. F. H. Schneider and Mrs. L. Dahlman. Late in the afternoon the hostess served dainty refreshments. The members present were Mesdames H. F. H. DRILLING ACTIVITY DECLINE CONTINUES Twelve wells were reported to State Oil Supervisor R. P. McLaughlin as ready to drill the week ending Feb. 15th, making 80 since Jan. 1 against 112 for the same period during 1918, and 144 in 1917. This indicates a continued decline in drilling activity. Such a condition cannot continue for any length of time without a noticeable decline in state production. The flush product of the no longer new Montebello and Casmalia fields masked this condition temporarily. However, the history of oil field development, even if present drilling data of the Montebello and Casmalia fields were not available, should warn operators against counting too heavily upon initial productive conditions. Rapid decline of gas pressures and improper drilling, with respect to protection from water, are two of the principal causes which prevent oil fields from maintaining their brilliant initial records. COOK GROWTH TO WHILE The C. B. Berges sold the E. N. Cook and home, situated on the boulevard to J. E. Jewett of Whitton have several ornate groves also.

Nowotny, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tausch, Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Peterson, and the host and hostess. ALL DAY MEETING The Woman's Missionary Society of the Presbyterian church held an all-day meeting today. The forenoon session opened with devotionals led by the pastor, Rev Hatch. This was followed by reports from the delegates to the New Era conference recently held in Los Angeles and also the Presbyterian meeting. At noon a luncheon was served and in the afternoon a "personally conducted" tour was made to the different missionary stations both in the home and foreign field. INFORMAL DINNER Prof. and Mrs. J. S. Malcom entertained with a delightfully informal dinner on a recent evening. Violets made an attractive center piece for the table and places were marked for Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Hargreaves, Prof. and Mrs. Roy Warren of Santa Ana, Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Sears and the host and hostess. However, the history of oil field development, even if present production data of the Montebello and Casamalia fields were not available, should warn operators against counting too heavily upon initial productive conditions. Rapid decline of gas pressures and improper drilling, with respect to protection from water, are two of the principal causes which prevent oil fields from maintaining their brilliant initial records. Gas pressures can be controlled to a large extent, and their expulsive powers conserved, by the proper drilling and preparation of wells for production. However, the supervisor has on a number of occasions, directed popular attention to the fact that even new fields have not been drilled in a manner best to conserve the petroleum resources and protect them from water. One example of such operations in the Montebello field should suffice. One well in the Montebello field, drilled by one of the largest companies, produced 70.3 per cent of all water produced during the fiscal year ending June, 1918. The average water production for all other wells was 3.0 per cent. The average daily production of oil was 722 barrels. During the week 25 wells were reported ready for test of water shutoff. Eighteen redrilling or deepening jobs were reported; also ten abandonments. LONGWORTH IM-PROVES GARAGE T. L. Longworth is making a number of improvements to his garage, cluding the filling in of two old pits and the digging of the biggest in the city, sufficient for the handling of four cars at once. PIPE 600 FOOT DITCH At the regular meeting of directors of the Anaheim Union the ditch committee recommended that A.M.Eward's proposition to pay half the cost of piping about 600 feet of open ditch along his property be accepted. Director Sherwood reported the Santa Fe had put in a culvert near Gypsum which would be a menace to the company's property. This was referred to the attorney. The superintendent was instructed to order a 30-inch pressure gate However, the history of oil field development, even if present production data of the Montebello and Casamalia fields were not available, should warn operators against counting too heavily upon initial productive conditions.
