Orange County Planning Exhibit Los Angeles County Fair, Pomona POMONA, July 30—With all records broken by the early demands for exhibit space, a force of over 300 men is working night and day rushing to completion the most extensive improvement and beautification program in the history of Los Angeles County Fair. Already all available room in the great agricultural building has been reserved and the same is true in the machinery, poultry, school and many other major divisions. Again this year the fair will include Orange and River-side counties within its scope, making it a tri-counties event. The gates of the huge agricultural and industrial exposition, acknowledged the largest and most beautiful county fair in America, will be thrown open at 10 a.m., Friday, September 18, and for the succeeding seventeen days and nights through Sunday, October 4, the 200-acre exposition park will be the colorful mecca for thousands of visitors from all parts of the country. Closing of San Diego Exposition September 9 will leave Los Angeles County Fair the major fall attraction in Southern California and the objective point for throngs of visitors continuing west from their visit to the Texas Centennial. Half a million people visited the fair last season and preparations are being made for a much larger attendance this year. While there is feverish activity about the grounds, work at present centers on the construction of two great livestock pavilions to replace similar structures destroyed by fire earlier in the season. Those two buildings, already well along, will cover a ground area of 100,000 square feet and will house thousands of head of prize stock. This year the throngs who flock to the grounds will be greeted by practically a new setting and a new fair. Old familiar objects have been replaced by new and more artistic ones. Work on the beautiful feature displays entered by the various counties of the state, is also under way. Humboldt county was the first to get going and several others soon followed. These displays promise to be more numerous and more gorgeous than ever before. In some cases thousands of dollars are spent in their perfection. Already a score or more of reunions, conventions and state meetings have been scheduled for fair time on the grounds. Hand in hand with the improvements and beautification of the grounds are the plans for an elaborate program of entertainment. Besides the 17-days of horse-racing and the brilliant night horse shows, there will also be a great historical pagen. In fact nothing is being left undone in the endeavor to make the 1936 panorama of achievement surpass even the splendid accomplishments of the past, it is said. les County Fair the major fall attraction in Southern California and the objective point for throngs of visitors continuing west from their visit to the Texas Centennial.

While there is feverish activity ORANGE COUNTY WEEKLY WATCHTOWER A Compilation of Observation and Comment by and for the Weekly Newspapers of the County APPEARING IN THE FOLLOWING: Huntington Beach News Newport Beach News Garden Grove News Santa Ana Bulletin Westminster Gazette Coastline Dispatch South Coast News Buena Park News Yorba Linda Star Placentia Courler Anaheim Gazette Seal Beach News La Habra Star Tustin News Brea Progress WHO'S WHERE? How many Townsend candidates are there looking for the congressional nomination on the democratic ticket? There seems to be considerable doubt, not only in the minds of the candidates and of the general public, but also in the minds of the Townsend people. A free distribution sheet at San Bernardino—the Enquirer—reported last week that Townsend support was being solicited and recommended for Sam Collins. It has been freely reported in Orange county that Sam had a personal endorsement from Dr. Townsend, although the latter was also said to have demanded the endorsement of Jim Davis at the Riverside convention. It is also freely stated that Sam's friends among the Townsend people are boosting him so that if he can get both the republican and democratic nominations their particular war will be over. It should be stated, however, that the Enquirer is for neither Collins nor Sheppard, but is boosting Thoreson, the San Bernardino man who has had considerable hand in government relief set-ups. Other sources of information from that locality state that it is expected Thoreson will carry that county, but that he will not develop much strength in Riverside or Orange. this is true almost everywhere, not only in Orange county but statewide, where such projects are in progress or completed within a comparatively recent period. Originally the financial set-up with PWA was considered ample. When the estimates of the architects were made, wages and material were both on a much lower scale than at the present time, and to meet these advances in both the building funds were so reduced that it has become necessary to cut out some of the intended reconstruction. Architects and contractors state this is true everywhere. Accordingly there has been such a cutting-out almost everywhere. In many instances, according to PWA officials and contractors, the cost of construction is anywhere from 40 to 45 percent greater than it was when the original estimates were made by the architects. All buildings, under the regulations, should be reconstructed to meet the earthquake requirements, but some of them must just wait until money is available. At the present schoolboards do not feel it an opportune time to go to the voters for additional bonds. SINGLETONS Tango touts from Los Angeles county beach towns have been discovered working in joints along the Orange county coast line It should be stated, however, that the Enquirer is for neither Collins nor Sheppard, but is boosting Thoreson, the San Bernardino man who has had considerable hand in government relief set-ups. Other sources of information from that locality state that it is expected Thoreson will carry that county, but that he will not develop much strength in Riverside or Orange. Meanwhile the Riverside free sheet which first touted Supervisor West is now lambasting him from one end to the other—which of course in West's case is not very far. The lambasting may prove to be the best thing that has happened to the West candidacy. Other candidates are not making much of a stir up to yet. The opinion is ventured here that a considerable number of people have not made up their minds how to vote, and that present indications as to the outcome might easily be upset before the race is done. PWA COSTS WENT UP Many of the PWA building projects, particularly those including the reconstruction of school buildings to comply with the earthquake proof regulations, have to be reduced or abandoned entirely because of not sufficient federal funds. This is true in connection with the rebuilding of the Edison school at Santa Ana at the present time, it being announced that the auditorium reconstruction must be annulled. In Brea there are three such jobs that must be abandoned in part also—the auditorium of the Brea grammar school, the auditorium of the Laurel grammar school, and the gym and one of the shop buildings of the Brea-Olinoa high school. It is understood that should be reconstructed to meet the earthquake requirements, but some of them must just wait until money is available. At the present schoolboards do not feel it an opportune time to go to the voters for additional bonds. SINGLETONS Tango tours from Los Angeles county beach towns have been discovered working in joints along the Orange county coast line the last week or two. Answer is that these places have been closed down during the primary campaign for district attorney in the big county. The order went out from the D.A. office that Fitts wanted things cleared up for a while. The supervisor race in the Third district is getting warmer, but not much noise is heard from the First district. Or maybe it is because it takes a keener ear to hear it among the city noises than in the country. AH, THERE, GOV. WATCH YOUR STEP A lady who is the director for the eastern republican women's campaign, called on the Grass Roots governor the other day. When the conference was over she told reporters that he was swell and she couldn't find anything about him that wouldn't appeal to women. SHAME ON YOU! Any public officer from the president down is open to criticism where criticism is due. But many fair-minded people irrespective of party affiliations were greatly shocked and chagrined by the cruel and cowardly attacks upon the president of the United States by a couple of men who took occasion at a recent convention to vent their spleen upon the executive.
