ORANGE COUNTY FAIR, HORSE SHOW PLANS PROGRESS; INTEREST MOUNTS Backed by tremendous interest from all parts of the county, the Assistance League of Orange county have been working feverishly for weeks on plans for the forthcoming Orange County Fair and Horse Show, scheduled for June 7, 8 and 9, in the Santa Ana Municipal Bowl. Four performances will be given this year, according to Edward Hall, manager of the show, starting on Friday evening, June 7. There will be an afternoon and evening show on Saturday and the closing event will be held Sunday afternoon. The $7,500 in cash and plate to be awarded to entries of the horse show and fari will attract entries from far and wide, according to inquiries already coming in. In addition to the horse show which has attracted the finest equine exhibits in former years, there is to be a pageant of seasonal beauty in the horticultural show, which is to occupy one entire tent on the corner of Eighth and Flower streets. This is to be an outstanding part of the fair, not only from the standpoint of exhibits, but from the new and effective arrangements planned and individuality in design as well. The committee, consisting of Mrs. J. E. Paul of Tustin, Mrs. Fred Alden, Orange, Mrs. Robert Ross and Mrs. H. C. Kirk, Costa Mesa, Dale Griggs and Donald Button of Santa Ana, together with Mrs. E. D. White, a member of the Assistance League, has spent months of intensive work and activity to promote a rare floral spectacle which will be a Frock acted in this capacity for many years in the Santa Barbara show. Captain Fred Egan, head of the St. Francis riding club, San Francisco, will act as judge in the polo, hunters and jumper's classes. He will also be one of the judges in the Riviera Show, Los Angeles in July. Tom Coldwell from Cynthiana, Kentucky, will judge the five and three gaited classes. A third judge is to be announced later. The Assistance League of Orange county, composed of 40 members, assumes the entire responsibility for the fair and horse show. No salaries are paid. All proceeds above actual expenses are used to maintain their children's bed in St. Joseph's hospital, the maternity bed and emergency bed in the Santa Ana Valley hospital. Thirty children received care and 28 mothers and infants were given free hospitalization in 1939. These cases come from all parts of the county. The league also contributes $30 per month to Santa Ana's Hobby House. Members of the league will again, as in years before, take over the concessions and dispense hot dogs and soft drinks. The programs this year will be of added interest with several innovations, according to Mrs. Dexter Ball, chairman of this committee. The boxes will be specially constructed and shaded by gay umbrellas. The tickets have already been printed and are on sale. There are to be season box and individual box seats, reserved seats, and Spanish color and romance cal of early California revived on the Santa An college campus Friday wh dreds of Orange count school seniors visit jayse annual Fiesta celebration.

White, a member of the Assistance League, has spent months of intensive work and activity to promote a rare floral spectacle which will be a credit to all Orange county. Only county entries may participate in the cash awards to be given in the flower show. Great enthusiasm has been shown by the boys and girls of the 4-H club, a volunteer group between the ages of 10 and 18 years of age, who are planning exhibits for the fair. Boys will show agricultural products including two or three classes of Hereford calves, many obtained from the Irvine company breeding herd of Herefords. Beef and dairy calves as well as lambs will be entered. Girls from this group will enter domestic science exhibits. The booths will be increased from three in last year's fair to eight or nine this year. The Junior Farm Bureau will exhibit various agricultural products grown in the county under the Farm Center classification. West Orange Farmer division, Tustin Farm Center, and Orange County Grange will all have individual booths. Farmers are contributing exhibits in agricultural products, a branch which is encouraged by the department of agriculture. In addition the citrus exchanges throughout the county are making plans for large and effective displays of all types of citrus. A special class will be added this year under the heading of miscellaneous. This will include Palomino horses, hackamoor for horses never shown in a bit, trail horses shown in western equipment and pleasure horses in English equipment. The above class will enable horses to be included that have never before been shown, and will give them an opportunity to compete for cash awards. In addition to the large cash prizes offered, there will also be a trophy and ribbon class which will include the following entries: Musical chairs, children's seat and hand, parade entries, drill teams, groups, silver mounted, plain western appointments and Eng- Avocado Ranchers To Inspect Groves Avocado growers of Orange county will see and study several tree and orchard problems in connection with avocado production tomorrow at 1:30 o'clock.

Fiesta Rulers Selected State Governing Body Reconvenes Legislature Reopens Session Monday After Several Weeks' Recess Members of the state legislature in reconvened session this week were for the first time in recent years armed with detailed information about state finances secured by their own members and independent of reports by Olson administration state department heads. The figures, gathered by legislative committees during state-wide investigations during the last three months, showed: On February 16, when the State Relief administration reported only $330,224.16 on hand for relief payments, and instituted a drastic 40 per cent cut in relief, the SRA actually had $2,896,763 on hand, according to a Price, Waterhouse & Co. auditing account, Assemblyman Norris Poulson reported. During the 40 per cent cut period, administrative overhead costs of the State Relief administration averaged 20.4 per cent of every relief dollar spent, although county relief departments showed over head costs as low as three per cent and average overhead far below the SRA figures. During the last few months, tremendous quantities of supplies have been purchased by the State Relief administration, despite the drop in case load recently from 116,000 to 85,000. "The interim committee investigations undoubtedly are the most constructive undertaking of the legislature in recent years, and Some rather critical have been written by E. Santa Ana Register recently anent Fullerton college's "letting down to athletes. No mention made to date of the Fullerton, starting next not admit out-of-state unless they can meet the requirements of the Uni California. That's hard down the bars." I also learned on good that Fullerton would be the suggestion of Des Flint of Santa Ana jump that a "zoning" rule be effect. Such a rule was the eligibility of athlete from outside the district "district" to be deter the aggregate number attending the school from certain area over a period years. In other words graduates would lose eligibility if they chose rather than Fullerton more Anaheim student Fullerton than attend. The proposal was not a recent meeting of the trators.

Coronation ceremonies for the Don and Dona will be enacted during the afternoon program on the college lawn. Associated Student President Bob Heath will preside during the ritual. Friday's program of activities will open with a city-wide parade through downtown Santa Ana leaving the college campus at 12:30 o'clock, and culminate in the evening with jaysee dramatists' presentation of the three-act comedy "Young April," to be staged in Santa Ana high school auditorium. Following the array of floats, bands, and prize-winning horses in the noon parade, seniors will return to the campus lawn where an afternoon program will commence at 2 o'clock. Toufs through college buildings will be featured throughout the day. Welcoming address will be delivered by City Schools Superintendent Frank A. Henderson.

Highlights of the afternoon lawn program will include the yearly mock bullfight, to be supplemented this Fiesta with a novelty cock fight, trick and fancy roping, Spanish dancing and music, and several vaudeville acts from the Biltmore Bowl and Earl Carroll's Theater restaurant. PURSES STOLEN Purses owned by Miss Margaret Watt and Miss Gertrude Watt of Long Beach were stolen from their automobile while it was parked near the city park Friday night, they reported to police.

"The interim committee investigations undoubtedly are the most constructive undertaking of the legislature in recent years, and should result in great savings to the taxpayers of California," said Speaker Gordon Garland of the assembly as the legislature reconvened. "Aside from the investigation of the State Relief administration, the committee on governmental efficiency and economy which has investigated state departments has recommended changes in routine conduct of state business that should save millions of dollars. "Economy in state expenditures should be the watchword—not additional taxes. We firmly believe this represents the will of the people," Garland concluded. Troop to Take Part In Scout Camporal Boy Scout Troop 71 of Anaheim will participate both officially and unofficially in the county-wide camporal to be held Saturday and Sunday at the Santa Ana Municipal Bowl. The Explorer patrol is entered in the competitions at the camporal, while most of the other members of the troop will participate for the experience to be gained. Buy now and Buy in Anaheim!

Let Acme Re-new Your Rugs and Furniture ACME CLEANERS AND DYERS 920 N·LOS ANGELES ST·ANAHEIM·TEL·2405 Sportopix by RUSS McCOMB Some rather critical comments have been written by Eddie West, Santa Ana Register sports editor, recently anent Fullerton junior college's "letting down the bars" to athletes. No mention has been made to date of the fact that Fullerton, starting next fall, will not admit out-of-state students unless they can meet the entrance requirements of the University of California. That's hardly "letting down the bars." I also learned on good authority that Fullerton would welcome the suggestion of Dean Calvin Flint of Santa Ana junior college that a "zoning" rule be put into effect. Such a rule would affect the eligibility of athletes coming from outside the district, with the "district" to be determined by the aggregate number of students attending the school from a certain area over a period of three years. In other words, Anaheim graduates would lose a year's eligibility if they chose Santa Ana rather than Fullerton, because more Anaheim students attend Fullerton than attend Santa Ana. The proposal was not adopted at a recent meeting of the administrators. Bill Morales continued his winning ways as a javelin thrower when he beat the best of the junior college spear tossers throughout the state last Saturday night at the Fresno Relay meet. The former Colonist got off a toss of 191 feet, 3½ inches. Lou Batinski, Fullerton discus thrower, won that event with a mark of 138 feet 5½ inches. Fullerton School Presents Exhibit The annual Exhibit at Fullerton high school and junior college which each year draws close to 3,000 interested friends and students, will be held this afternoon and tonight on both campuses, with special demonstrations arranged in almost every department of the school. The exhibit will begin at 2 and last until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, with actual classwork being conducted in many rooms. In the evening from 7 to 10, planned demonstrations will take place, with main emphasis in art, business education, home economics, science and technical trades. With only a few exceptions, exhibits will be held by each department. Although impossible in one afternoon and evening to show the entire work done by the high school and junior college, those in charge make every effort to present a worthwhile and representative exhibit of student work and enterprise. A special invitation has been extended to Fullerton's surrounding communities to attend the demonstration. Parents, friends and students are cordially invited.

Don’t be surprised if Eddie Morris’ time of 20.7 seconds in the 220-yard dash during the C.I.F. trials last Saturday isn’t recognized. There were only two watches timing the Huntington Beach flier, and one of them showed a “heavy” 20.8 seconds. It’s too bad the officials didn’t credit Morris with the latter time, because it almost certainly would have been recognized as a new state inter-scholastic record.
