Orders have been received by Chief Clerk George H. Gobar of the local board to have the work of the office completed and that finis could be written upon the local work on the first of next month. This word has been awaited for several weeks. No sooner was the armistice signed than the draft boards began to wind up their work. At no time was it thought that the work could continue more than two or three weeks longer. Frequently, however, orders were received for additional data and reports for the records of the war department. Thus the work has continued from week to week and month to month. All of the reports desired are now finished and the records are tabulated and indexed in the way the government wants them left. What ever details remain will soon be completed by the board and the clerk. The 30 odd cases of questionnaires and index cards will be boxed or put into racks and these will be sent to Colton where with the cases from the three board of San Diego county they will form a carload to be sent direct to the adjutant general of the army, selective service records division, at Washington, D.C.

Clark of Pullerton and George H. Gobar, chief clerk. RESUMES OLD POST A. C. Hargrave has taken up the duties of Vice-principal and manual skull, broken arm and minor injuries. He was later brought to the Anaheim sanitarium where he lies in an unconscious condition. The attending physicians hold out very little hope for his recovery. He has a wife and three children. MOVIE PIRATE CAMP AT LAGUNA BEACH The news item to the effect that the "movies" had not only built a "pirates village" in one of the canyons south of Laguna Beach, but that screen actors, and more especially actresses, would do semi-acquatic stunts on the beach, brought out the sightseers from Santa Ana and environs Sunday. The apparently disconnected "stunts," when ginally filmed in orderly sequence, will be advertised on the picture theater bulletins as "Rose Marle," with "Billy Rhodes" in the title role. This Billy Rhodes, the misleading name notwithstanding, is a member of the decorative sex, and through her act, as persecuted heroine, compels her to make an appearance in rags and tatters, she bears this affection with the sovereign contempt of loveliness, which is a law unto itself. The collection of shacks that constitute the pirates' village is guarded at night by a local fisherman who rejoices in the name of "Coronado," and whose boats have been hired by the picture folks. The last act (in the near future) will represent a raid by revenue officers, and it is then that one may see the "grande finale," with the entire village in flames and the pirates dead, prisoners or fleeing. It is estimated that 1500 visitors lined the bluffs last Sunday, guests of Laguna Beach during its free, open air entertainment. ENTERTAIN FOR LIEUT. Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Johnson, of S.Clementine-st, entertained last evening in honor of Lieut. and Mrs. R. F. Strock. The Lieutenant recently returned from overseas where he spent eight months in active service.

He will report there for duty April 20th, and will probably remain in the service the balance of this day's business the store has ever enjoyed.
