Orange County Fair To Be State Leader Finest Products of Farm and Orchard on Exhibition A record pace has been set in constructing Orange county's industrial, agricultural and livestock exposition. H. A. Lake, fair association president declared, the fair virtually to rank first in the state in diversity of products and variety of program. The wealth of Southland harvest from far man orchard districts to be shown in larger variety, and the afternoon and evening entertainment program, is the combined offering of the six-day fair celebration, which opens September 5. Numerous attractions, according to Lake, will amplify the program of rodeo performances, the horse show, special lodge drills, and the sham battle. Juvenile and fraternal bands, officials said, are among the 13 bands obtained for the daily fair program. Indian musicians and a band of roving minstrels will play about the tents. Chief Standing Bear, full blooded Ogalaalia Sloux, and tribesmen, fair executives said, will occupy the Indian village as representatives of the Red Men. at the Orange County Fair, in keeping with the Indian motif. Having doubled in size, according to officials, the fair today is advancing to a position among the leading Southern California expositions. This growth, according to A. M. Stanley, secretary of the fair board, is due to a permanent location, proper financing, and public confidence. Success has followed the building of the fair mainly due to co-operation of all sections of the county. With such continued support, there seems to be no limit to our growth. The main show tents, according to Manager J. R. Hunt, will go up within a week. The tent sites are being prepared to care for new departments in which many new features have been The New Motor Vehicle Laws An important change in the California motor laws as amended, is that which has to do with operator's licenses. The main points are embodied in the following explanation by the legal department of the National Automobile Club. Section 69, as amended by the legislature, provides that a license issued thereunder (that is, under section 69 of the Vehicle Act) or previously issued and valid at the time this amendment takes effect, shall be valid until revoked, suspended or canceled. There is a provision that the division is authorized to cancel all operator's licenses which have been outstanding three years or more and require renewal thereof upon application, subject to examination in the discretion of the Division of Motor Vehicles. This does not mean that every motorist who has carried a license for three years or more must be examined for license renewal. But it has been thought advisable for the division to call in all licenses issued three years ago or more. No provision has ever been made for recording changes of address and, as the license carries the only record of address to which the division has access, it is easily seen that these records are not accurate up to date. By calling in all old licenses of three years ago or more, the division will be able to eliminate from their files many names of people who have either died or left the state since their licenses were issued. In renewing other licenses which are still "alive," authorities will use their own discretion as to whether or not a physical and mental examination are necessary. Only in case the operator has a bad record, such as having been involved in charges of reckless driving, etc., will it be deemed necessary to have an examination of the applicant. Thus, some who have been guilty of offenses in the past will not be granted a renewal, but those who have a clear record will have no trouble in getting a renewal. In fact, the average driver should anticipate no difficulty at all. Buena Vista —J. C. Cole and in-law, E.

Success has followed the building of the fair mainly due to co-operation of all sections of the county. With such continued support, there seems to be no limit to our growth. The main show tents, according to Manager J. R. Hunt, will go up within a week. The tent sites are being prepared to care for new departments in which many new features have been added. "In this period of rapid development," Manager Hunt said, "the necessity for a well planned and modern exhibition grounds has prompted the fair board to spend annually between $15,000 and $20,000 for permanent improvements." "We have awakened," he said, "to the fact that we have a tremendous agricultural wealth and to the need for an annual fair for display of our produce and industrial development. The Orange County Fair now ranks with the best in premiums, number of entries and general magnitude." A large crew of workmen were add-finishing touches to stalls and stands last week. Eighty box stalls for horse show stock and accommodations for 150 head of rodeo stock are in readiness. "The high class of entertainment will be a surprise to many visitors," declared F. L. Purinton, treasurer of the fair association and rodeo director. The first two nights open with a sham battle," he said, "sponsored by the American Legion and Spanish War Veterans. A three nights' horse show follows, in which are entered the finest specimens of bred stock on the coast. Then there is a daily rodeo program of 150 bucking horses, Brahma steers, trick girl riders and cowboys. A Scot's drill and parade of Los Angeles, Pasadena, Long Beach and San Bernardino lodges are entered." SOLDIER'S FIELD SPECIAL With reservations for ringside seats in Soldier's Field reported all taken, and a good share of the 400 reserved for the Union Pacific right specials already sold, George R. Bierman, general passenger agent of the Union Pacific, issued a warning to fight fans to delay no longer in getting their tickets for the Tunny-Dompsey bout. Instead of running one de luxe filer, as previously announced, Bierman said the Union Pacific is planning to start three trains, 10 minutes apart, carrying about 135 passengers each. The latest equipment will be used in each of these trains, which will include the finest Pullman and compartment cars, diner, club and observation accommodations. The first train will leave at 6:30 o'clock the next at 6:40, and the last at 6:50, the evening of September 18. Reservations made for the Union fare, ringside seats, and accommodation Pacific fight specials include railroad stations at the Hotel Morrison, which is Dempsey headquarters in Chicago, Bierman explained. Full information can be obtained from the fair office or through the website. In renewing other licenses which are still "alive," authorities will use their own discretion as to whether or not a physical and mental examination are necessary. Only in case the operator has a bad record, such as having been involved in charges of reckless driving, etc., will it be deemed necessary to have an examination of the applicant. Thus, some who have been guilty of offenses in the past will not be granted a renewal, but those who have a clear record will have no trouble in getting a renewal. In fact, the average driver should anticipate no difficulty at all. As for applying for new licenses, Section 63 has been amended to require every applicant for his first operator's or chauffeur's license to submit an examination by the division. Also it is mandatory, instead of permissive, for the new applicant to submit to a test of his eyesight and hearing and of his ability to understand highway signs and warnings. A road test and a test of the applicant's knowledge of the California Vehicle Act governing the operation of vehicles on public highways are also required under the law as mandatory. Letter Received From Bob McKee Having a Great Time Seeing Sights in British Isles The following interesting letter arrived yesterday from Robert McKee of Placentia, who is touring Europe with Mrs. McKee: "Newcastle-on-Tyne, England August: 10, 1927. "Editor Gazette: Although we are far from home, we have not forgotten our California friends. Left Fullerton on May 29, arriving in Chicago at 9:30 o'clock, July 31. Left for Montreal at 5 p.m. Spent two days there at Russell hotel. We were attracted at once by seeing our California oranges selling at 60 cents per dozen. They were not the choice ones. "Took steamer Montecahn for Liverpool; sailed down the St. Lawrence river for two days before entering the open sea. The water was smooth—one would scarcely know the steamer was moving. The scenery was indescribable—little picturesque villages nestling back in the green hills, and islands dotted with sheep and cattle in the distance. When we reached Newfoundland, passed huge icebergs six miles away; only one-tenth were above water, and resembling an old ruined castle when the sun reflected on them. "Arrived at Liverpool on June 11, after a most delightful sea voyage. Spent a week in Belfast. We were through the linen mills; saw the linen manufactured, from the flax mills to the final process, weaving and pattern designing, etc. We were privileged to meet the lord mayor, Sir William Turner, and sat in his chair in the other died left the state since their licenses were issued.

Full information can be obtained either through the general passenger office of the Union Pacific or at the Southern California tourist bureau in the Spring arcade, where Fay Smalley and Johnnie Wilson are in charge of reservations. Smalley reported that several special cars are being made up for the trip. J. K. McCarthy, of the Hollywood Athletic Club, has taken charge of one for the Knights of Columbus. Tom Mix is organizing a party of friends to occupy another, and Emile T. Normille, brother of Gene, Dempsey's former manager, has reserved another car for a group of his friends in motion picture and sports circles. Wilson and Smalley report many reservations already made for this all-expense trip over the Union Pacific, from the baseball fraternity, from followers of local boxing activities, and from many nearby cities. "This is going to be a de luxe trip, don't forget that," said Smalley. "We are going to have the finest trains the Union Pacific system can make up. No one will be crowded, for they are all Pullman and compartment cars, and they travel 'the cool way' direct to Chicago." "We leave here on Sunday evening, September 18, and arrive in Chicago three days later, on Wednesday evening. The bl gahow is Thursday night, September 22." Nobody in America seems excited because we didn't make enough ship sacrifices to assure an agreement in the Geneva conference; which indicates that somebody's propaganda machine wasn't functioning properly.

County Scenic Tours Will Be Resumed Railroad Commission Grants Permit to Stage Line Within a few days after the public hearing conducted before Examiner Vaughan in Los Angeles, the California state railroad commission handed down a decision granting a permit to the Motor Transit Stages to operate a sightseeing tour known as the Orange county scenic tour. The Orange County Secretarial Association, composed of the secretaries of the various chambers of commerce and other civic organizations of Orange county, were the sponsors of this sightseeing tour of the principal cities and show places of Orange county to advertise Orange county to the tourists and others interested in the scenic and opportunities of Orange county. The tour as outlined by the railroad commission comprises a 125-mile motor trip touching Long Beach, Seal Beach, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach and Halboa, and stopping at Laguna Beach for lunch. Returning, the route is to be through Irvine, Tustin, Santa Ana, Anaheim, Fullerton, Brea, La Habra, Whittier, and back to Los Angeles. According to officials of the traffic department of the Motor Transit Stages, this tour will be reversed during the months of August and September, as permitted by the railroad commission's orders.

Organizations represented also include the California State Automobile Association, Los Angeles traffic commission, San Francisco traffic survey commission, state board of education, American Electric Railway Association, San Diego traffic counsel, California Development Association, and the Berkeley traffic and safety committee. The principal result of the meeting was the adoption of a safety program for the month of September, when hundreds of thousands of children will be returning to their school duties. A special effort will be made to minimize accidents during this month, which as a rule is especially trying to children after the freedom they have enjoyed during the long vacation. The California public safety conference is a comparatively new organization which has actively taken up in a state-wide program the work that was inaugurated some six years ago in the public schools by the public safety department of the Automobile Club of Southern California. This work has been extended to include many organizations, and it is believed that the intensive campaign that will be waged in every part of the state will materially reduce the heavy toll of life and limb exacted by the ever-increasing traffic. "Careful and attentive driving, giving every possible factor of safety to the pedestrian and the child playing in the street or going to school will do more to reduce traffic deaths and injuries than any other single thing," said Mr. Kelso. "Thirty per cent of all fatal injuries involve children under 15 years of age, and nearly 70 per cent of all traffic accidents involve pedestrians by automobiles." "Be kind to the sick" is the latest admonition to motorists. Recently many complaints have been coming to the motoring organization from hospitals in all sections of South- Tourists Traveling Toward California More Than 13,000 Cars Checked in at Border in July July has witnessed a tremendous increase in the auto tourist invasion of Southern California. Where 9772 automobiles transporting out-of-state tourists entered through the various border gateways of Southern California during July, 1926, a total of 13,455 cars have been checked in at the border stations during July of this year. It is pointed out that this remarkable record for one month follows a substantial increase in motor touring entrants for the first six months of this year. The recapitulation of the cars counted by quarantine officers at the various border stations reveals an influx of 48,906 automobiles into this section during the first six months of this year, as compared with a total of 36,354 for the similar period of the year previous. The figures for the first six months of this year also show a total of 11,902 cars entered eastern California during that time, while 3547 were counted at northern California borders, making a grand total of 64,355 out-of-state cars entering California during the first half of this year. That Southern California continues to be extremely alluring to motorists of the world is indicated by the steady increase in the tourist invasion during the last few years. Motor travel into the Southland increased 28 per cent during 1926, and the same gain was made in auto traffic from the east into the entire state. A total of 177,619 cars were counted last year as they were driven across the borders of the state. 23,015 cars more than the total of 1925. For the first seven months of this year, Yuma station reported the largest count of incoming out-of-state cars with a total of 32,675. Daggett station reported a count for the period of 26,722 automobiles, while Riythe showed 2964 cars entering there. The legionnaires from this state have already begun their campaign to secure the 1930 conclave, and plans are being made to begin the fight during the Paris convention, according to State Adjutant James K. Fisk. The Los Angeles invitation to the Legion will be presented by State Commander Philip Dodson of South Pasadena. Ignace Paderewski, world-famed pianist, and Madame Paderewski, were given a send-off by the Paso Robles post of the American Legion last week upon their departure for abroad. The Paderewski have taken an active interest in the Legion, and during their stay at their Paso Robles ranch were entertained by the local World war veterans.

Fisk, of the American Legion, to the eight hundred odd World war veterans of California who are soon to embark for the Paris, France, national convention of the Legion. "Don't forget your uniform—every California legionnaire must wear white shoes and socks, white flannel trousers, white shirt, black bow tie, black belt and the blue American Legion cap with the organization inscribed thereon." Adjutant Fisck declares in issuing his advance orders to the members of the various posts of his organization. The California delegation to the Paris convention will be in charge of State Commander Philip Dodson of South Pasadena, National Committeeman Dr. John F. Slavich of Oakland, and Adjutant Fisck. Two special trains, leaving Los Angeles and San Francisco on September 3, will carry the California World war veterans to New York, where they will take steamship for Europe. George J. Hatfield, United States attorney for northern California, who is a member of the "On-to-Paris" travel committee in charge of the arrangements for the big convention, will leave Saturday for the east to make the final arrangements for the reception of the California delegation in New York City. California delegates to the national convention of the American Legion, which will be held next month in Paris, France, will make a fight for the selection of Los Angeles as the meeting place of the World war veterans' organization in 1930. Ignace Paderewski, world-famed pianist, and Madame Paderewski, were given a send-off by the Paso Robles post of the American Legion last week upon their departure for abroad. The Paderewski have taken an active interest in the Legion, and during their stay at their Paso Robles ranch were entertained by the local World war veterans. Paderewski was the largest individual contributor to the American Legion's $5,000,000 endowment fund for the care of orphans of World war veterans. San Francisco will be represented in the American Legion's big parade during the Paris, France, convention by an elaborate float, depicting the life of the northern and central counties of California. The board of supervisors has appropriated $1200 for the construction of the float and has instructed State Adjutant James K. Fisck of the Legion to superintend the construction of the float. Thousands of golden poppies will be used by the California legionnaires to advertise this state during their stay abroad. "Los Angeles, 1930," advertising the fact that that city seeks the national convention of the Legion two years hence, and "The Golden Gate Is Never Closed," calling attention to San Francisco, is inscribed on the poppies. California orange juice, dispensed from a huge orange, will be used by the California delegates to the Paris, France, convention of the American Legion, to call attention to one of California's most valuable crops. The huge orange is now being constructed and will be taken abroad by the California delegation, which will leave for the convention on September 3.

Baker gave the feature talk of the evening at the Ladies' Night of the Toastmasters' Club at the Mission Inn, Fullerton, Monday night. If plans of Baker work out, a bronze tablet dedicated to Johnson will be placed on the campus of the Fullerton Union high school in the near future, with this inscription: "Dedicated to the memory of a former student of the Fullerton Union high school—the greatest and most beloved athlete the world has ever known, who is forever endearced in the hearts of the sports-loving public of America—'Old Barney,' 'The Big Train'—Walter Johnson." In connection with placing a tablet at the high school in memory of Walter Johnson, it was voted to have Frank Mason write an article on the activity of the club in this regard, which will be submitted to at least one popular magazine in an effort to place the local Toastmasters' Club before the nation. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Crooke, Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Borst, Charles Fallert, Billy Stedman, N. R. Bernard, Dr. W. W. Lillesley, Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Sterrett, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mason, Mr. and Mrs. Verne Baker, Dr. O. H. Schlosser, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Suters, Fred Kahen, Mrs. and Mrs. J. B. Horner, Mr. and Mrs. George Crawford, Dr. and Mrs. E. J.

State highway departments last year surfaced a total of more than 13,600 miles of earth roads. In addition, they rebuilt 5828 miles of old surfaces, 163.-059 miles of the 287,928 miles of federal aid state roads are now surfaced. Although there are many motorists who deplore the absence of shade trees along the more prominent highways, the state has made a good start in shading and beautifying its roads. Fullerton Preparing For Armistice Day County's Biggest Parade to Be Held November 11 Bert West, district attorney of Orange county, and prominent American Legion member, will head the Armistice Day parade at Fullerton, November 11, as grand marshal, it was announced by Hugh Miller, general director of the celebration. Mounted on a spirited horse and flanked on each side by a mounted guard of honor, West will lead the parade through Fullerton streets. Plans for the parade and celebration are growing in scope daily. According to Miller, who has established headquarters at 312 North Spadra road, in the C.S. Chapman garage building, float entries are being received daily and general interest in the program indicates a more extensive moving pageant than has ever before been staged by Orange county communities co-operating on Armistice Day. Five divisions will be included in the parade, under the general headings of patriotic, fraternal, educational, civic and industrial. One special feature of the parade on which the director is now working is the mounted division of horsemen. Approximately forty horses and riders have been signed up. A goal of from 150 to 200 horses and riders has been set, and applications are expected from all parts of Orange county. Anaheim Sugar Co. Made Defendant Asking judgment for damages said to amount to $7500, L. M. Guyon brought suit today against the Anaheim Sugar Company, alleging that a drainage ditch dug by that corporation has continually overflowed onto his land, leaving water standing there. Guyon estimates this damage at $3000. He asserts that he bought the property on which he lives and paid the Anaheim Sugar Company for it, stating State highway departments last year surfaced a total of more than 13,600 miles of earth roads. In addition, they rebuilt 5828 miles of old surfaces, 163,059 miles of the 287,928 miles of federal aid state roads are now surfaced. Although there are many motorists who deplore the absence of shade trees along the more prominent highways, the state has made a good start in shading and beautifying its roads. If the motorist will count the trees being maintained by the state highway department, he will run up to 56,400 before completing his tally. These are scattered along 685 miles of roadway, and have been planted as a part of the state-wide program undertaken in 1922. Many of the trees are beginning to shade and beautify the roadsides, and it is believed are an inspiration to the various counties to go and do likewise with the county roads. Anaheim Sugar Co.

Guyon estimates this damage at $3000. He asserts that he bought the property on which he lives and paid the Anaheim Sugar Company for it, stating that his land was part of a subdivision owned by that company.
