VOLUME LXXIX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAHEIM Huge Crowds Continue at County Fair In every way a "record" fair, Orange county's 1950 spectacle entered its third day today with early-morning crowds thronging the former Santa Ana Army Air base and judges still far behind in their work because of the unprecedented number of entries. One of the most popular features, the horse show, is scheduled again tonight, with the first event set for 7:30 p.m. On tonight's program are jumpers, five-gaited, roadsters, hackneys, three-gaited, walking horses and hunters. Novelty acts also are scheduled. Also on tonight's program is a concert by the famed El Toro Marine Air station band at 5 p.m., and the colorful musical pageant at 6 p.m. Both may be seen on Stage A at the north side of the fair grounds. HUGE ENTRY—This is “Suzette,” huge draft horse which is seen during the horse show, a popular part of the Orange County Fair now under way at the former Santa Ana Army Air Base. Suzette, a Belgian mare, is 7 years of age and weighs 2300 pounds. She is being held by R. A. Ballantin of Pasadena. Price Tags on Lincoln Add Concern School Directors Contractor’s bids ranging 30 to 40 per cent over original construction allotment for additions to the Lincoln School gave Anaheim Elementary school board members cause for concern last night at a special meeting at the office of Superintendent M. A. Gauer. Six contractors submitted bids for the project, ranging from a low of $118,740 to a high $142,892. Original allotment for the project, which contemplates construction of a cafetarium and kindergarten at the school, was $85,000, according to Gauer. With trustee Thomas A. Henry absent from last night’s meeting, members in attendance last night held over decision on the matter to permit further study with a full complement of board members. Those in attendance last night were split as to what action to take in view of the unexpected high bids. Clerk John P. Mary, Jr., suggested careful consideration of the project in light of the high costs and possible deferment of action in hopes of an eventual drop in construction costs. He introduced the possibility of juggling elementary school districts so as to take advantage of Broadway and La Palma school facilities. Board president H. H. Stabbert, on the other hand, pointed to the present war situation as possible reason for increasing costs and suggested that it might be prudent to go ahead with the project at once in case supplies go higher or possibly become unavailable in the Pre-School Event List Announced With school days once again on the horizon for young Anaheimers, members of the elementary school board last night released the schedule of pre-session events.

Oscar’s Revenge, Or, How to Nose Out The Poundmaster Oscar didn’t want to leave home. And Officer Bob Spencer, Anaheim poundmaster has a sore nose to prove it. Spencer went to the home of Oscar’s owner, F. W. Lee, 531 S. Dickel, this morning to take the husky German shepherd dog away. Oscar was there when the officer arrived and at first didn’t seem to care much one way or the other about his prospective removal. Then the full impact of the idea hit him. And he hit Spencer. Right on the beak. He made a flying snap at the constabulary proboscis as Spencer was getting out of his truck. So Spencer is now sporting a snooded snoot. But no remorse. “Oscar is really a swell dog,” the officer said. “He’s ideal for someone who can give him a good home. I really mean it.” Spencer added that he would keep Oscar at the pound for a few days in hope that someone offers to house him. In the market for a year-old German Shepherd? See Spencer, then: You can’t miss him. He’s the guy with the green uniform and the white nose.

The majority of these officers will report for duty during the months of September and October. The Marine Corps said no officer pilots of the volunteer reserve are being called at this time. But approximately 300 non-pilot officers with aviation specialties will be called. These officers will be mainly captains and lieutenants.

Boyce Van Osdel, dynamic young minister of the Calvary Baptist church of San Bernardino, will be featured speaker at the Sunday evening outdoor service of the Anaheim Association of Christian Churches. Rev. Osdel will speak on "Christians in a Non-Christian World." Meeting time is 7 p.m., in the Greek Theatre. Boyce Van Osdel was voted by the Exchange club of San Bernardino to be that community's "most outstanding citizen in 1949." His church, directly across the street from the high school campus, is a mecca for youth, and he has been conspicuous in civic life and leadership in both the YMCA and Chamber of Commerce there for 10 years. Enormously popular as an assembly speaker to youth and before service club and men's gatherings, he has a salty dash of humor with a probing mind inherited from his scientist father, head of the geology dept., at the University of Redlands for many years. Rev. Van Osdel is himself a Redlands graduate, with his B.D., from Berkeley Baptist Divinity school in 1936. He has served his present church for a decade, and is a member of the board of education of San Bernardino by vote of the electorate. A SIP—OVER OR UNDER!

The committee, organized last spring to investigate organized crime, reported on its work thus far—work devoted chiefly to an inquiry into gambling in Florida.
