(Gazette Photo by Gregory) Queen Helen Recounts Five-Day 'Dream' Reign Over County Fair "It was just like a wonderful dream." That's the way Helen Weir, 17-year-old Anaheim lovely, summed up her just-completed five-day reign over the Orange County Fair for the Gazette this morning. Looking not a whit less beautiful than she did when the judges named her as the county's fairest, Helen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Weir, 13212 Katella Road, recalled with pleasure the gruelling five-day stint which was her due as Queen of the Fair. I was on the go all the time," she said. "I never saw so many photographers and publicity men in one place." Innumerable Pix Helen couldn't remember how many times she had her picture taken. She did recall that one enterprising shutter-bug shot her 22 times, though. She said she never knew when the next one would appear. "They just jumped out of the corners and took me over to a booth and posed me," the blond, blue-eyed beauty said. And what they posed her with, sometimes, was enough to make any working girl's eyes bug out. One prop was the fabulous "Black Star" star sapphire, from Queensland. The 733 karat bauble, though not for sale, is figured to fetch about $300,000 on the jewel mar- Planners OK Oil Drilling Near Anaheim Drilling for oil on the south side of Ball rd., east of Harbor blvd., in the area south of Anaheim, has been approved by the County Planning Commission yesterday with the recommending of a land-use permit to Patrick A. Doheny, who proposes to sink a well there, in a district zoned for agriculture. The commission's approval bore the proviso that Doheny comply with all regulations for control of ground water pollution. The permit application will come before the county supervisors next Tuesday for final action. The planning commission approved an application by Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Hicks to establish Sewers Cited As Foremost Local Project Three speakers at the Anaheim Rotary club luncheon this noon described the overloaded sewerage system as the Number 1 problem of Orange county. And, they agreed that construction of the Magnolia Trunk sewer line from Fullerton to the treatment plant in lower Orange county is the only solution to what has become a sanitation menace and a deterrent to normal physical and economic growth of the county. The speakers were Earnest W. Moeller, manager of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce; Burton Ellis, engineer who has designed the Magnolia trunk sewer, and Preston Turner, Anaheim city attorney. They were introduced by Robert H. Boney. Tremendous Discharges It was pointed out that the tremendous discharges of effluent from stores, buildings, homes, schools, factories, etc., have so overloaded the present sewer system that manhole covers have to be bolted down, force used to drive the sewage through the lines, effluent must be stored until it can be She said she never knew when the next one would appear.

The 733 karat bauble, though not for sale, is figured to fetch about $300,000 on the jewel market. And then there was the chichilla. The "cute little thing," Helen learned, was worth about $1000. Buy 'em by the pair and you get a rate—only $1800.

Everett's automobile sometime last Saturday. Everett, who listed his address as 13636 E. Mulberry drive, Whittier, was working when his car was pirated from Anaheim city parking lot No. 3, on West Center street. Everett's 1941 Ford was parked there for 24 hours, but he reported that the ignition was locked. Nation at Glance Big Forest Fire Blackens Area Near San Diego By The Associated Press U.S. Forest Service today reported improved prospects for controlling a major forest fire east of San Diego. That fire, in the Cleveland National Forest and Cuyamaca State Park, was the worst of more than a score which blackened an estimated 100,000 acres of state and federal timber and brush land in California in the last few days. Forest Service headquarters in San Francisco said reports from the San Diego front said "the situation is looking a lot better today." Most of the fire was reported under control, although there were still "a few miles of hot lines on the northeast corner which they hope to tie up today." The fire has razed approximately 60,000 acres of beautifully 15,000 Reds Is Opened to Defenses Better Four Anaheimers Hurt in Crash Four Anaheim residents were injured, one seriously, in weekend auto traffic accidents reported by the California Highway Patrol.

Most of the fire was reported under control, although there were still "a few miles of hot lines on the northeast corner which they hope to tie up today." The fire has razed approximately 60,000 acres of beautifully wooded lands and caused an estimated $3,000,000 damage to watersheds. But its threatened spread southward into the popular Laguna Reservation resort country appeared to have been blocked, the Forest Service said. LAKE SUCCESS—The United Nations Security Council failed again today in another closed-door effort to break its procedural deadlock over Kerea. The private meeting, called by Russia's Jakob A.

ECA European Visitors to Observe Anaheim MOD Methods on Thursday Under the Economic Cooperation program, a 54-man group will arrive in Anaheim Thursday for day-long observation of the methods and processes used by the Mutual Orange Distributors. The group is the perishable foods team of the Technical Assistance program. It's members are drawn from 11 countries—Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. One of two groups' specialists from the Marshall plan countries, the team is making an eight-week study. Principally, it is designed to help Europeans eliminate present-day waste in the movement of perishable foods. Beginning its study on Aug. 1, the group has been inspecting the operation of the American "cold chain" system of refrigerated depots and refrigerated road and rail vehicles which permit safe transportation of perishables from the grower to the grocer. Some members of the group are studying collection and distribution and Belgian members of the team will pass on the information gained here to their countries' overseas territories. This group, together with a forestry gropl which is making a six-week survey, is bringing more than 100 specialists to this country. The studies were proposed by the Organization for European Economic Cooperation and are being made under ECA's Technical Assistance program. The TA program's cost is only one-half cent out of every ECA dollar, but it has developed into one of ECA's most effective activities. Through it, European specialists see firsthand how America's high productivity works, and as a result, European industries are learning how to increase output—a development which will lead to a higher standard of living for the people.

Despite their punishing losses, mostly in dead, the red invaders were continuing to mass men and to probe the lines on the central and southern fronts for the big push which Americans predict may be their last. They are under orders from their high command to wipe out the defense by August 31.
