Chamber of Commerce Airs Plans for Community Fair The inclusion in current plans for Anaheim's Annual Hallowe'en festival of a five-day Community Fair, featuring local merchandise and manufactured articles was announced today by the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce.

Integral parts of the Community Fair, in addition to the displays of merchandise and manufactured articles, will also include a giant midway featuring rides and concessions, and a queen contest. The fair gets underway Thursday, October 26. Night schedules are in store for the opening, for Friday and the following Monday. Fairgrounds will operate afternoons on Saturday and Sunday. The queen contest; which begins some five weeks before the fair, will place emphasis on personality and ticket-selling ability. Various organizations about town will put forth candidates whose bid for the throne will be determined by the amount of raffle tickets they and their sponsors can sell. Proceeds from the ticket sales go to underwrite the Hallowe'en festival. The sponsor of the ultimate queen gets first choice at midway concessions sites. All midway concessions will be operated by local service clubs and fraternal orders, according to play in a giant exhibit tent, according to Chamber officials. Along with this auto show, featuring the latest makes and models, is in prospect. In general, the 1950 Community Fair will be patterned after the successful Civic Progress Exhibition of 1948."

It tentatively placed the earthquake's location in the northern tip of Burma near the China border. Capt. Elliott Roberts of the survey told a reporter that the earthquake had a magnitude of 8.4. He said this compares with 8.5 for the maximum so far recorded. The earthquake had been reported on seismographs around the world. Roberts said it was premature to be too exact of the quake's location, although he thought that the Burma-China border was correct. He said there was no doubt that it was a tremendous quake.

Sea Scout's LVP Ship Visited by Rotary Clubmen Recognition of Anaheim Sea Scout ship 280 was accorded yesterday as Anaheim Rotary club, who co-sponsor the group with the Lions, heard Bill Spurgeon, commodore of the Balboa Sea Scout base, speak at their regular poonmeeting — then visited en masse the landlocked 38 foot diesel-powered boat local Sea Scouts are constructing.

The program was instituted as an answer to a need for an advanced "explorer" program in Anaheim to take boys coming from Scout troops through the high school age.

Largest project undertaken to date by the Sea Scouts has been the purchase of the old LCP hull, complete with 155 Hercules diesel marine engine; procured through the assistance of Anaheim, Santa Ana and Long Beach Sea Scout officers.
