The sign bearing the life of local service clubs, already somewhat the worse for wear and cording to park officials, got a partial coup d'étate when an auto mobile driver by William E. Schaffield, 412 S. Spadra, Fullerton skidded on wet pavement and smacked into it early this morning. First reports were that Schaffield scored a perfect strike and broke the poor old sign down. However, closer check showed that he only got a spare since one post is still standing. The only other casualty in the crash was Schofield's automobile which had to be towed away. The sign will be set up in the same alley when damages have been collected, according to City Engineer Hapgood. Meanwhile, Anaheim service clubs will have to work extra hard on a mental welcome to visitors until the physical one can be restored. FLY YOUR FLAG SATURDAY Californians were asked today by Governor Warren to fly their flags Saturday—to increase public awareness of the mission and accomplishments of the Armed Forces of the U.S. In an official proclamation urging Golden Staters to join with other Americans in noting Armed Forces Day the governor wrote: "It is an occasion on which we should honor the veterans who contributed so much to our recent victory, and the men and women in civilian life who participate actively in our defense program through service in the national guard and the reserve forces."

ORANGE CAPITOL OF THE WORLD ANAHEIM EST. 1870 GAZETTE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 17, 1950 City Loses Big Industry Loss of a new million dollar industry to the city as a result of inability to deliver property desired was announced this afternoon by E. W. Moeller, manager of the Chamber of Commerce. The Paraffine Company, manufacturers of building materials, had been negotiating for property on the east side of the Santa Fe tracks between Santa Ana and South streets. Described as one of the largest corporations on the west coast, the concern had planned to build a fabricating plant on 16 of the 20 acres to be purchased. Delayed Delay due to inability to get property re-zoned and opposition to such proceedings in that area of the city resulted in this industry.

Ranks Among Top 10 Number of Slot Machines Gov't Records Reveal 3 Locations In Anaheim; Gives 61 in Santa Ana Orange county ranks among the top 10 counties in the state in the number of locations where slot machines are in operation. Of the 190 places on record in Orange county, the Anaheim area has only three: Shorty's Palace, 10805 S. Highway 101; The Hideout 7428 N. Euclid Ave., and the Anaheim Elks Lodge, 423 N.

LES A. PEARSON, of the City of Anaheim state in the number of locations where slot machines are in operation. Of the 190 places on record in Orange county, the Anaheim area has only three: Shorty's Palace, 10805 S. Highway 101; The Hideout 7428 N. Euclid Ave., and the Anaheim Elks Lodge, 423 N. Los Angeles st. Collects $100 The federal government collects an annual fee of $100 on every machine upon which a payoff is made. These may be pinball games or the type commonly known as the "one-armed bandit." Under new state laws, which will take effect on July 14, mere possession of a slot machine is a misdemeanor offense and subject to a fine of $500 or a six months jail sentence or both. Previously, Section 330-A of the penal code provides such penalties only when it was proven the slot machines were being used for gambling. However, both of the new laws specifically exempt pinball machines "or other amusement devices which are predominantly games of skill." Under this provision pinball machines must be proven to be games of chance rather than skill in order for possession to be illegal. Locations in Orange county were machines upon which the $100 federal government fee has been paid for the current year are as follows: Anaheim Bruce, Stober & Hollis J.

Starting on the local scene, the event climaxes with the National races at Akron on August 13. Anaheim sponsors for the event, billed as the "greatest racing event in the world", are the Anaheim Gazette, the Anaheim Optomist club, and Cone Brothers Chevrolet agency. Prospective entrants can obtain rule books and entry blanks from the sponsoring organizations or from the Hometown Printers, 338 W. Center st., Brodie's House of Lights, 112 N. Los Angeles st., and Ragby's Jeweler's, 119 E. Center street. Age requirements are 11 to 15 years inclusive, as of August 13, which means that any boy who is or will be over 10 and under 16 on that date may compete. Plan in Anaheim is to provide a sponsor for every boy who wishes to enter the contest. Sponsors may offer financial aid only. The cars, which cannot cost more than six dollars, exclusive of wheels and steering apparatus, must be "boy built," the rule book states. Car designs are available to car builders but that does not rule out original designs. As long as dimensional and safety requirements are observed, original cars are entirely permissible.
