Manager William C. Attheer said that as far as he knows it will be the first major open house in the county in 1960. Everybody is invited, he said, and visitors to the new branch in the Brookhurst Shopping Center at Brookhurst and Ball Road are in for an interesting evening. They will have the rare opportunity to tour the new branch "backstage" from vault to staff room, and to inspect all the modern equipment that makes a bank "tick."

Southern Pacific Co. said it has acquired the acreage just west of the Anaheim city limits and adjacent to the SP right-of-way and Santa Ana Freeway for development as industrial sites. The property is bounded by the railway right-of-way and the freeway on the north, on the west by Valley View Ave. (also Miller St.), on the south by Orangethorpe Ave., and on the east by the Kraft Foods Co. plant which faces Knott Ave. Acquired from the Harvlan Co., the land now is under cultivation but is zoned for industrial use. The property and improvements represent a multi-million-dollar investment, according to George A. Erickson, SP's general industrial agent for Southern California. "This investment by Southern Pacific is in line with its continuing program to assist in planned industrial growth along its lines by acquiring suitable property to protect it for future industrial use, Erickson commented. "That this Buena Park property is well located for such a purpose, particularly as to distribution of products, is evidenced by the new Kraft Foods operation just east of this parcel. "Over the last 30 years the railroad has added a net average of better than one new industry per working day along its lines. In the first nine months this year there was a net gain of almost 300 new plants. "The railroad's substantial investment in the Buena Park prop- erty is, we believe, another obstruction of Southern Pacific faith in the industrial future the territory it serves."

Year-Round Park Is Planned For County Fairgrounds Site Hot Time Had at Zero Cold Co. Things were running hot and cold at the Zero Cold Co., 1858 S. Los Angeles St. Saturday. Anaheim firemen, answering an alarm at the business, said power to the air conditioning system had failed, allowing the room to overheat. The rising temperatures in turn set off the automatic sprinklers. The net result: some well scrubbed refrigerators. Orange County is going to get year-round use of its Costa Mess Fairgrounds under a plan proposed by the 32nd Agricultural Assn., operators of the annual show. District officers hope to open a 7-acre picnic grounds and park on the fair site by mid-April. An automatic sprinkler system and overhead lights will be installed in the park area which is just inside the fairgrounds' west gate. Lawnns and trees will be planted and playground equipment will be added at a later date. The park site, which is immediately adjacent to a paved 150-car parking lot, will be opened for general use.
