Entering Civic Progress Week Queen Contest
Four comely misses have entered Anaheim's Civic Progress week queen contest to date, and, although beauty is not one of the requirements, they have enough of that commodity to help them sell plenty of tickets to the exposition. The girl who sells the most will win a complete ensemble of wearing apparel, a beautiful diamond wrist watch, an engraved award and an orchid corsage.
The contest is still open to any Orange county-girl of 16 or more years of age who applies to the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce office, 136 North Los Angeles street, with a picture of herself.
The four runners-up in the competition will serve as the queen's attendants during Civic Progress week. Their awards will include evening clothes, orchids and cash gifts. Other girls entering the contest will win cash gifts based on the number of admittance or drawing tickets they sell to the Civic Progress week exposition.
Contestants so far include Miss Elaine Newton, 18, leading drum majorette for Anaheim Union high school. She is a blue-eyed blonde, five feet and one inch tall and lives at 423 South Illinois street.
Miss Betty Launer, 24, works at the Anaheim YMCA office. She is five feet six, has brown hair and hazel eyes and resides at 125 North Janss street.
Miss Audrey Borgeson, 18, employee at the Coast Ice Cream store, is a blue-eyed blonde of five feet and nine inches. She lives at 543 West Chestnut street.

According to the weather bureau, low clouds began to break the mid-summer heat wave throughout southern California last Thursday. However, it is believed locally that the ultra-violet solar waves, which baked this city "Fryday," caused the unofficial mercury disturbance.

Schutte Out of Senate Race
A. J. Schutte announced the week that he is withdrawing his candidacy for election to the office of State Senator of the 35th district. The press of his own personal business in the last few days, he said, has made it impossible for him to serve even if elected. After his announcement few weeks ago his host of friend throughout the county had rallied to his support which established him as one of the favorites in the senatorial contest. Even if successful in the political contest would be impossible for him to spend the time in Sacramento necessary to the senatorial position he added.
Schutte did not throw his support to any other candidate. There were three in the field opposing him. They are State Senate Clyde Watson of Orange, Restaurant Owner Clint Cary of San Ana, both of whom cross-filed and Harlan L. Savage of La Habra, who seeks only the Democratic nomination.
