E. Bryan, stage; Rudolph Nyboe, equipment; and Clee Clark, music. Before breakfast as fully consumed Master of Ceremonies Paul Demaree began introducing guests of honor and calling upon the home town entertainers. Among those introduced was Miss Antoinette Doyle, formerly of Fullerton, who has been elected as Miss Centenniel to tour the nation in behalf of California's Centennial celebration which begins next year. For the entertainment of the throng Glenn Hipes, president of the Chamber of Commerce, balanced a penny on his nose and dropped it into the waistband of his trousers—or at least the master of ceremonies said he did; members of the city council engaged in a milking contest with water-filled rubber gloves attached to barriers serving as cows; a hat exchange contest in which Ernie Moeller, Robert Boney, Mark Stephenson and a Mr. Webb participated. Then a three-man team started to shave Ernie Moeller and ended by upsetting a dish of scrambled eggs on his face and his elegant costume of a shepherd's plaid cutaway coat and trousers of red, blue, green, yellow and muckle-dun trousers. Judges decided that first prize for groups as usual belonged to Brown & Rinehardt who also won hat exchange contest in which Ernie Moeller, Robert Boney, Mark Stephenson and a Mr. Webb participated. Then a three-man team started to shave Ernie Moeller and ended by upsetting a dish of scrambled eggs on his face and his elegant costume of a shepherd's plaid cutaway coat and trousers of red, blue, green, yellow and muckle-dun trousers. Judges decided that first prize for groups as usual, belonged to Brown & Rinehardt who also won first in 1945 and 1946. This time firm members, their employees and members of their families appeared costumed as a circus sideshow troup. In the troupe were Walter Rinehardt as the half man-half woman, Mrs. Alberta Brown Patton as a Gypsy fortune teller, Tommie and Ronnie Brown as African pygmies, Ted Brown as the strong man, Edith Brown as the hula dancer, Mrs. Rinehardt as the snake charmer with a green and yellow spotted snake and Mr. and Mrs. Otis Culbertson and Miss Virginia Ritchie. As in former years, the stunt was designed by Mrs. Patton and her sister, Mrs. Rinehardt and all the costumes and properties were made at home or in the Brown & Rinehardt sewing machine and home appliance store. Second place went to the Bank of America staff which, costumed as surgeons, nurses and an undertaker, performed an operation on the stage, with a mallet as an anaesthetic. Legs, arms and other fragments of human anatomy were tossed out into the crowd, and finally the undertaker claimed the subject. There were other group stunts and costume parades by the J. C. Penney Store, the Stop and Shop market, Western Auto Stores, Heying's Drug Store, the Altrusa International (woman's civic organization) the Southern County Bank, the Kress store, and the Lions club. For couples the first prize went to Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Rees who appeared as a caveman and mate. They were clothed in hides, armed with forbiddingly long teeth and heavy clubs, rawnose sandals and hair covered faces. Second prize went to Mr. and Mrs. Tina Wailce who only had to look up bathing costumes they wore in Miami in 1900. His was a white and black horizontal striped jacket with a tremendous bulge below the waist, and hers was a primacy bloomerette affair with a frilled black bonnet. Placed behind were Charles Neumann and Mrs. They were clothed in hides, armed with forbiddingly long teeth and heavy clubs, rawnice sandals and hair covered faces. Second prize went to Mr. and Mrs. Tim Wallace who only had to look up bathing costumes they wore in Miami in 1900. His was a white and black horizontal striped jacket with a tremendous bulge below the waist, and hers was a prim lacy bloomerette affair with a frilled black bonnet. Placed third were Charles Neumann and Mrs. Jonn Aldaz dressed as a dancer and belle of the opening decade of the century. In the solo contest first prize for men went to "Miss Early Anaheim;" impersonated by John O'Kane whose majestically ponderous demeanor was irresistible. Harwood Larson as "Humphrey" of the Joe Palooka comic strip placed second. First prize for women went to Mrs. Russell Hamlyn who wore a white union suit which was padded to distort her figure, and covered by a hula costume and flaxen curls made of rope. Second honors went to Miss Tilly Elias as Carmen Miranda. First place in the comic strip contest went to Mrs. Mae Boeckman who impersonated "Mammy Yokum," perfect to her box hat, short skirt, union suit, striped sox and pipe. Mrs. John Daniels in a funny-paper costume was second place winner. There were, besides, breakfasters made up as Negroes, desert shieks, Hindoos, early American colonials, airplane pilots, hayseeds, and Henry Baxter in the Highland kilt he wore as base drummer for the Elks band. Lionel Kaye was fast and funny as master of ceremonies, even though not all of his jokes were strictly kosher as he introduced Dick and Dot Reny as comedy dancers, Johnson brothers as deft jugglers of Indian clubs, the Libonatti Trio who played their xylophones and danced expertly and Nick Lucas, the "original" crooner who sang such old favorites as "Tiptoe Through the Tullips" and "My Blue Heaven" to the accompaniment of his guitar. The program ended with Lionel Kaye's hilarious act as "The Daffy Auctioneer." Colorful Kiddie Parade Marches To Fame Here Continued from Page 1 tune, second, and Claudia Coleman, Magnolia, "Pierette girl and dog," third. In the most original division, Kay Eldred of Benjamin Franklin school took top honors for her unique Christmas package ensemble which revealed a tall gay box propelled by two small feet.

Artists Paint 'Prize' Windows A new innovation radiating the Hallowe'en festival spirit was the window painting contest for aspiring artists in elementary, junior high and high school, directed under the co-chairmanship of Ed Alcott and Max Schreiber, the judging concluding Wednesday evening of last week. The contest was divided into three age groups, that of high school, junior high school grades, 6 to 8 and the elementary school grades 1 through 5. High-school winners included Bob Wurgaft, Orange County Drug store, first; Lucy Mazza, Anaheim Fish Market, second, and Connie Woods and Joan Spencer, Swanberger's, third.

A miniature "Peter Peterkin Eater" festival theme THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1947 EN FESTIVAL Police Estimate More Than 60,000 Attend Festival photographers delight, the Slick Chick contest in which 62 of Orange county's most bewitching teenagers in costume vieed for the title of Miss Slick Chick of 1947, the honor of riding on the Chamber of Commerce float in the Grand Parade, the handsome trophy, the $25 cash prize and the complete outfit of clothes and accessories given by Anaheim merchants. Winner, after a half hour of viewing and reviewing by the committee of five judges, was Miss Priscilla Orman, 15 year old Anaheim Union high school student whose costume, designed and made by herself, represented the orange industry. Seventeen-year-old Marlene Krastel, as a most unusually attractive witch, was runner-up, and Paula Doretti, 15, was third in line with her "Daisy Mae" costume. The old favorite whiskerino contest winners were Ivan Storey, for the most comical set of whiskers; Robert Spencer, Anaheim poundmaster, for the best groomed set; Cruz F. Sandoval for the most abundant crop and Ben Schlosser for trying the hardest and producing the fewest whiskers. There were 150 entrants who bought licenses in the form of Fuzzy Mug buttons and several hundred more unlicensed whisker producers, but when the moment came to have their whiskers judged the competition looked so stiff that only 15 actually submitted their crops to the inspection of the judges. While the Altrusa club committee served their hot dogs and pop in the Midway concession stands and the balloon vendors cried their wares, 15 pre-1917 horseless While the Altrusa club committee served their hot dogs and pop in the Midway concession stands and the balloon vendors cried their wares, 15 pre-1917 horseless carriages lined up for the ancient "hot rod" contest. In the non-stop, one-block trial of speed and stamina Maxwells came in first and second. First was a 1906 Maxwell driven by Lassiter Hoyle of Venice, and hot on his rear bumper was Bernard Rademacher of Los Angeles in a 1910 edition of the Maxwell. C. R. Lingwell of Norwalk steered and pedaled a 1914 Reo to third place honors. Honorable mention was accorded Mel Myers for the performance of his 1906 Ford and to Art Aristria of Venice who drove a 1917 Pierce Arrow custom job built for Patty Arbuckie at a reported cost of $35,000. Next event attracting general attention was the kiddy parade organized by Mel Gauer, Anaheim elementary school superintendent, and participated in by all grammar schools in the Anaheim Union high school district. A total of 30 prizes were distributed among winners in the seven divisions by a committee of judges which included Mrs. Joe Van Wagoner, chairman and Messdames Howard Tews, Homer Wallace, Ray Reafshyder, Robert Deane, Sam Genauer, Tex Middleton, Carrie Lou Sutherland, Earle Dahlman, Emory Simon, W. E. Whiteman, John Wilson, Ben Kaulbars and Harold Warling. The parade wound up at City Hall where the paraders were entertained by the circus acts most dear to juvenile hearts. Down town the rest of the crowd continued their carnival until p.m. when the Grand Parade was scheduled to start and which was less than a quarter of an hour late — establishing, perhaps, a record for promptness. Led by Andy Devine and Caroline Cotton of the movies, it included Montie Montana, Riders of the Purple Sage, the famous Sunshine Boys of the radio, 12 divisions, even led by a band or drum and bugle corps, 200 horsemen and women, 50 brilliant or amusing floats, wheeling and steaming xixth grader, was third prize holder, with his design at Elliott's cafe.

Each first prize winner was awarded $10, second and third prize holders received $5 and $2.50 each, respectively. Award Merchants Window Prizes Adding to the carnival spirit which ran rampant here last Thursday were the many gay and distinctive window displays arranged by civic minded merchants of Anaheim. Prize awards for three outstanding arrangements went to Rimpau Service station, 45 West Center street, first; Carmen's Flower Shop, 111 East Center street, second, and Singer Sewing Center, 170 West Center street, third. A miniature "Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater" festival theme depicted a tiny village with old church, villagers and grave yard topped competition at the Rimpau station. Red blinking eyes leared maliciously from a great furry spider fashioned of bronze chrysanthemums and long legs of Caspia which clung to an artistic web of gold twine at Carmen's Flower Shop. Spun glass spider webs, fine dry grass, bull rushes, corn tassels and lacy fern formed an appropriate background for the giant spider and a huge bronze and green foiled pumpkin. A sedate matron of the 1890's with pince-nez peered in akimbo disapproval at a prostrate imbiber clad in old cover-alls, red bandana, dilapidated straw hat and several bottles, captured third prize honors at the Singer Sewing Center. During World War I potatoes became the first of the fresh fruits and vegetables for which United States grade were established. Today Federal grades have been established for more than 50 types of fresh fruits, vegetables and nuts. After the parade which in universal opinion was the most brilliant of the series of 24, the crowd had its choice between seeing the horse show at City Park and the football game between Anaheim Hi and Orange Hi at La Palma park. At the horse show Montie Montana performed some of his famous feats of roping and horsemanship and at the football game the Orange Panthers downed the Anaheim Colonists, 14 to 0. With the biggest crowd ever entertained in Anaheim, police made only three arrests for drunkness, though four men and women in a car who were reported in a drunken fight got away. Fifteen cases of mischief were reported during Thursday and Friday and bicycles were abandoned by the dozen, but the Anaheim police said on the whole it was the quietest Hallowe'en they had ever experienced. And Anaheim merchants had less soap and parafine to remove from their store windows than they have had for years, thanks to the window painting contest which was a feature of this year's Festival. It is estimated that it costs $144 more per year to operate an average motor vehicle over dirt roads than the cost would have been had the roads been paved.
