Orange County Wins One of Big Prizes Gets First in Its Class at San Bernardino Orange Show With each day bringing larger crowds to the National Orange Show, in San Bernardino, the compliments and expressions of admiration for the Orange county exhibit increase accordingly, Dr. F. W. Slabaugh, in charge of Orange county publicity, was informed. The county exhibit won the $400 cash prize offered to the winning exhibit in its class, the Associated Chambers of Commerce division. The Santa Monica-Ocean Park exhibit was second, and Fontana third. The exhibit portrays a symbolical setting of Miss Orange County as "Beauty" herself, reflecting prosperity and happiness in a mirror set in regal splendor. The dome, the canopy, the base, the floor and stairs are carpeted solid with oranges, lemons and grapefruit. A decorative colored light is used as a final on the top of the dome, and the center decoration of the frieze between the canopy and the dome is made up of illuminated artificial flowers. Inside the dome and under the frieze are many lights to give the setting a luminous effect. At the base of the canopy of fruit is a row of standards, each holding a grapefruit and giving a very effective finish at the floor line. Five classic bronze statues stand guard at Beauty's shrine and light the way to all who would come and learn more of the resourcefulness and hospitality Orange county has to offer. Proud of her beauty and richness, Miss Orange County stands before the mirror, her head and right arm moving to and fro. The exhibit covers 'a floor space of approximately 20x20 feet inside the rail and stands about 19 feet high. HONOR SOCIETY An invitation to send two delegates to a convention of honor societies of the county, to be held in Orange next Thursday, March 3, was received by the Anaheim society at their last meeting and Tommy Kuhel and Carol George B. Alexander of the Norwalk hospital was in town this week on a brief business mission. Mr. Alexander states that there are 1425 patients in the hospital, many of them incurable. Much rain fell during the recent storm, but little, if any, damage was sustained. In fact the grounds about the hospital were greatly benefitted. The Spanish speaking peoples of Europe, South and Central America have bought two big buildings in New York to establish a center of trade and diplomacy, which seems to indicate that they are not so much alarmed over our foreign policy as some of our own alarmists.

Store Center at Lemon Telephone 60 Santa Ana Police Get Check Artists Men Who Operated in Anaheim Now Confined in Jail Wanted in Anaheim and Santa Ana on charges of passing worthless checks, Fred Bailey, 20, and John Bebee, 26. Los Angeles men, were arrested Saturday afternoon, after police had received a tip that the two men had attempted to pass a check at a Santa Ana clothing store. An automobile used by the men, found parked on the street, with another man's hat in it, led to the arrest of a third man in Glendale Saturday night, after Santa Ana police had communicated with authorities in Glendale. The third of the trio is R. F. Herzog, 29, who is alleged to have confessed to Officers Howard and Smithwick, who returned him to Santa Ana Sunday morning. Police said that checks totaling approximately $200 were passed in Anaheim, and that possibly there were several checks passed in Santa Ana. Bailey and Bebee were arrested by Officers Howard and Perry at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, after the officers had received a good description of two men who had entered a clothing store on East Fourth street, bought a small article and tendered a check in payment. The merchant was suspicious and refused to cash the check. The merchant called the police soon after the men left the store and their arrest followed in a few minutes. In the machine the men occupied were found approximately 50 checks, made out in amounts ranging from $16 to $1000. Virtually all of the checks, many of which were signed and endorsed, were cashier checks. Most of the checks were on the First National Bank of Oklahoma City, Okla., but also there was a large number on the Security Savings and Trust Bank, Los Angeles. (The real name of the Los Angeles banking institution is The Security Trust and Savings Bank). Names used by the men were J. C. Sims, George A. Edwards and Thad Wells. That the trio may have defrauded merchants in Oklahoma City is borne out by the fact that many of the checks on the Oklahoma bank bore old dates, police pointed out. An investigation being made regarding possible activities in Oklahoma of the men. Police said they were of the opinion that as many as a dozen checks were passed in Anaheim, but they would not know for possibly several days. At the time of disarrest Bailey had a number of $50 cashier checks on his person. Several cans of catables, ties, socks and other articles were found in the machine the men occupied. The car is at the police station. It is to be noted that most of the folks who criticize Mussolini do it from outside the Italian frontier. NEED CONSERVATION The engineers haven't told us yet how many billions gallons of water ran to waste during the big storm—flood waters that reached the ocean only after vast damage to property was done. Thousands who watched the rush of water toward the sea speculated as to its wealth if it only could have been trapped and held for summer, when water is king in Southern California. But years of talk about this occasional run-off of great floods are at last securing results. The state engineer has completed a survey of the Santa Ana river; and it will soon be presented for discussion among engineers interested in the particular problems of the San Bernardino watershed. There is at last organized discussion of what ought to be done to prevent the waste of these waters. Engineers and others turned their eyes toward the elaborate experiment underway at the mouth of Lytle creek canyon, where a dam 2000 feet long is in operation to spread the flood waters so that they run in a thinner and slower stream, thus giving the waters an opportunity to sink through the sands and boulder crevices into the underground basin. Just how great have been the results the engineers have not made definite statement as yet, for this was the first real test of the idea since the dam was constructed. Travelers along Foothill boulevard, however, noticed a marked change in Lytle creek. The stream that was once during every big storm, the peril of the city was no longer the anomaly did not which replaced some people, there was no west channel tamed, nothing that residents can see the san Santa Ana? gineers will do that for the purpose so that it will sink into the purpose of infiltration on the Santa Ana Riverside and for summer tion from the San Bernardo adopted the protection they canyon.
