Anaheim Gazette, Thursday, December 29, 1949 ONE KING, MANY QUEENS—The Valencia orange may still be THE king of Anaheim but there is little doubt but that we are a city of many queens. A couple of them are Arlene Anderson (left) and Priscilla Orman (right). Arlene was crowned Queen of the Blue Pacific in September—Priscilla finished second in the contest. In fact Anaheim has won more beauty contests in southern California than any other city. Gazette Photo Air Station Enters Float Tournament theme "Our American Heritage." Enlisted men at the air station are now re-assembling the replica that was literally torn apart by powerful winds in a wind tunnel test recently. The plane is all but complete at the present time. The Air Station Enters Float In Rose Parade The Los Alamitos Naval Air Station will enter a float in this year's Tournament of Roses Parade at Pasadena, January 2. It will be the full scale model of the Douglas Skyrocket, D558 II, which was flown over 800 miles per hour at Muroc to set an unofficial world's record, two weeks ago. The entry will be named "Air Supremacy" to tie in with the Tournament theme "Our American Heritage." Enlisted men at the air station are now re-assembling the replica that was literally torn apart by powerful winds in a wind tunnel test recently. The plane is all but complete at the present time. The float will use 200,000 chrysanthemums. It will be entirely decked out with the white chrysanthemums except for the insigne which will be covered with flowers corresponding to the colors in the pattern. Vital statistics on the Skyrocket are: 44 feet 7 inches long; 14 feet high; wing spread 25 feet and weight 4,500 pounds. To defray expense of the float, enlisted men of the air station chipped in to make it possible to enter the beautiful model. A score of enlisted men's wives, along with their husbands, volunteered their services in pasting on the thousands of flowers required. This is the third year for the majority of the volunteers. This work will begin 48 hours before parade time so as to give the flowers a fresh appearance. It will continue around the clock in eight hour shifts.
