The contest between the Reds and the Greens will close. A picture of the school will be taken at 2:45 and the aim is to have all the members plus many others in this picture. Another pleasing feature will occur in the morning has not been publicly announced. Sunday evening Evangelist Vawter will preach what is considered one of his finest sermons. The subject will be, "Why I Love the Old Boo." Just one hour of services tonight was the announcement. One of the pleasing features of last night's service was the singing of two numbers by the ladies quartet of the South Park Christian Church of Los Angeles. The theme of the evening was "A Package of Old Love Letters." The evangelist began by imagining a couple recently married in Anaheim and the groom deciding he would go to Kansas City because of his particular occupation. He told his bride that he would prepare a beautiful home on the boulevard for her and in leaving consolo her by saying: "I go to prepare a place for you and if I go I will come again and receive you unto myself that where I am you may be also." "This is how Jesus comforted his little group of disciples before he left them. The groom left and was gone four weeks, writing a letter each day but the day he left making a total of 27 letters. He told her about the new home and asked her to do certain things for him.

Backs with Frederick Ahlborn, F. A. Backs, Jr., Homer Eddy, Bob White, Mrs. T. L. DeCew and Mrs. Winnie D. Niver present. The Dramatic section of Community Service was represented by Mr. Blaine Gibson, pres., Miss Ruth Chamberlain sec'y., Courtnay Clarke and C. E. Chamberlain. It was decided to back the dramatic section to the extent of $50 to put on a program after Easter, plays to be decided upon by the committee. A charge of $55c will be made to detray expenses of production. The community is becoming acquainted with the work of the section and it is appreciated, but they are in need of funds to carry on the work as they cannot always give the programs free. It was decided to ask for the services of Miss Randall, recreation specialist of Community Service, to come the last of March and stage an institute to train play workers free. All interested in taking the course please notify the secretary, Winnie D. Niver, phone 512. Community Service wants to be prepared with a list of names so that any organization wanting to put on a social evening can call upon a trained worker to lead in games, etc. Mr. Alexander Stewart music specialist of Community Service will also be asked to come one day per week for three weeks previous to music week, this also to be without cost. The Community Service choral society is to help with a radio program at Santa Ana Thursday evening at 6:30 and everyone is invited to listen in to hear the Anaheim Civic An- This is how Jesus comforted his little group of disciples before he left them. The groom left and was gone four weeks, writing a letter each day but the day he left making a total of 27 letters. He told her about the new home and asked her to do certain things for him. At the end of the month he returned and found his letters all tied up with ribbon lying on the library table. At first he is pleased but after examining them finds that only two or three have been opened. No speech the bride would make would convince the husband that she loved him. Then he said: "I see that you opened this letter. I made several requests; did you do what I asked?" She said: "No, I did not think they were important. I thought they were nonessentials. I intended to read your other letters but was too busy; I had to entertain, and was entertained; had to go to the movies; then I had to go auto riding and then there were several card parties. I was so busy." When Jesus went away," said Evangelist Vawter, "he left 27 letters and if we do not read them we show de do not love him. The evangelist read some extracts from those love letters, putting them in the language of today and then asking the people to quote the verse found in the Bible. Jesus said: "Do what I have told you to do. These are his words: "If you love me keep my commandments," and "If you want anything ask for it," and "Don't fail to meet me." In these words, "For sake not the assembling of yourself together." At the close there was one convert who was baptized immediately. PROBE CAUSE OF WHARF COLLAPSE MONTEREY, Cal., March 2.—Twenty men were hurried into the ocean and $40,000 worth of newly netted sardines were back into the bury deep when the municipal wharf here gave way last night. The outer 100 feet of the wharf collapsed beneath the surface of the sea. An investigation of the cause of the near disaster was in progress today. ENDS LIFE TO JOIN HUSBAND IN DEATH LOS ANGELES, March 3.—Locking herself in the kitchenette of her apartment at 578 Hollywood boulevard early today while grieving over the death of her husband, whose funeral was to be held today, Mrs. Rinse Jacobson, 28, lay down on an improvised bed on the floor and turned on a gas jet. Her body was found, the photograph of her husband clapped in her arm, when her brother-in-law, Theodore Jacobson, broke into the kitchen later. COLD WAVE FOLLOWS SPRING IN CHICAGO CHICAGO, March 3.—Following some of the warmest weather for this time of the year since 1878, Chicago shivered in anticipation today of a cold wave predicted by the weather man. During the warm spell bright spring hats bobbed along the streams of humanity milling up and down the streets. CENTURY OLD DATE PALMS STILL YIELD ENSENADA, LOWER CALIF., March 3.—Thousands of date palms in Lower California, set out by the Jesuit missionaries in 1720, are still producing quantities of high class fruit, approximately 2,225,000 pounds shipped to all parts of Mexico each year. FRANK KEENAN AS HIMSELF IN MOVIE As Luke Taylor, the millionaire lumber king in Reginald Barker's new picture, coming tomorrow to the California theater, Frank Keenan, veteran actor and screen favorite, creates one of the greatest characters of his career on the screen. Cast to play the part of a crabbed old individual who has more money than he can possibly spend, but who aches for activity and the life of a logging camp, as he had known it in his youth, Keenan brings to the role all the force and versatility at his command, according to those who have seen the picture. Photoplay critics in the newspapers have commented upon the way in which he invests the part of the sour old man with a depth of feeling and understanding which inspires the admiration and sympathy of the audience, in spite of the forbidding manner of the character. Keenan lives the part of old man Taylor in this Metro version of the famous novel, "Timber," by Harold Titus. They ascribe Keenan's success in this role to the fact that the character of Luke Taylor is in many instances much like his own, although Keenan has none of the crabbedness of old Taylor in the picture. Both Keenan and the character he enacts in "Hearts Afflame" are men well along past middle age, both wealthy, both eager to fill up their day with something worth while, rather than spending it in the idleness of old age. Keenan's participation in "Hearts Afflame" is said to be more than interesting because of this similarity existing between himself and the man whose life he lives throughout the picture, as well as because it marks his return to the screen after a number of years of retirement from active work. Included upon this same program, the California theater is offering the opening chapter of that splendid twelve-part drama, "Around the World in Eighteen Days." Here is a smash action-picture, and there are more thrills and adventure packed in this great film than probably any picture seen in this city for some time past.

EXTEND GAS MAINS 35 MILES IN 1912 Announcing that extensions aggregating 35 miles in Orange county had been made the past year, Supt. J. C. Hayden of the local division of the So. Co. Gas Co. said today that 1923 would witness an even larger total. The concern is completing a line from Fullerton to the Bastan-chury ranch, about 4500 feet long. The company now is preparing to lay a 10-inch pipe all the way from its plant in Placentia thru Olinda and the Carbon Canyon to Chino, where it will connect with the main line running thru Pomona toward San Bernardino. The extensive new construction is due most of it to the opening up of numerous sub-divisions in the county. Hayden said. That is, most of the new lines have been only for a few hundred to a few thousand feet long and connect up with lines already within corporate limits.
