Controversy continues to rage around the granting of signs in Anaheim. City Councilmen, besieged by differing opinions on the need for legislation to control the granting of licenses to billboards and other commercial signs, this week: Granted an identification sign at 315 S. Knott Ave. to the Knott Ave. Christian Church after a heated exchange between Councillmen Rex Copns and Joe Thompson. Thompson challenged Coons and the city administration on an ill-fated decision several years ago to remove church signs. A prolonged argument over the long standing controversy was ended when Murdoch said plans were afoot to hold a meeting with church officials on the subject. The Council then denied a sign request from the Hertz-Rent-A-Car system at 115 S. Harbor Blvd. after pointing out that another sign was already located at the address. After a lengthy discussion the Council approved a Western Auto Co. roof sign in the proposed shopping center on the northwest corner of Crescent and Euclid Aves. The Council also approved a 13 foot sign for Bob Hart of 517 Vermont Ave. Newport Man Appointed To Orange County Fair Board Tempo of activity at the Orange County Fairgrounds is on the upswing this week as preparations for the 1960 fair move ahead. Just this week Governor Edmund G. Brown announced appointment of a new director to the fair's board, leaving only one seat vacant which may be filled even before the fair opens its gates July 12. Latest appointee is John M. Duffy of 400 Tustin Ave., Newport Beach. Water Skiing Tips To Avert Mishaps Six million Americans going splish-splash — and often flip-flop — in the water.

Or—"Why can't WE camp out overnight?" Chances are very good you'll wind up doing one or the other. Maybe you know all the ins and outs of hiking and camping. If you don't, these hints from the National Safety Council can mean the difference between an unpleasant outing and an accident-free time of fun. Just this week Governor Edmund G. Brown announced appointment of a new director to the fair's board, leaving only one seat vacant which may be filled even before the fair opens its gates July 12. Latest appointee is John M. Duffy of 400 Tustin Ave., Newport Beach. Duffy and other board members will preside over a lively fair featuring a Hawaiian theme and many new features. George Colouris, commercial space and concessions supervisor, reports more than 78 per cent of all commercial space has been reserved and his department is working overtime to complete space assignments. Concessions and some good commercial space still are open, he emphasized, but they will be booked as rapidly as possible to insure a "full house" by fair time. Meanwhile, entry clerks are closing the books on competitive entries in the fair. Most competitive classes had closing dates of June 21. Entries in floriculture, rabbits and junior horse show competition, however, will be accepted through June 28. Final arrangements are being firmed up this week, also, for the giveaway of Hawaiian trips during the fair. A round trip to Honolulu via United States Overseas Airlines will be given away each of the six days of the fair. Side trips in The Islands will be furnished by Interisland-Tradewind Tours of Hawaii, according to the World Travel Bureau of Anaheim, Santa Ana and Fullerton, travel agency which is "packaging" the trips. The La Jolla Tennis Championships, to be held July 2 to 10, is famed as one of the most unique in the nation. The theme "Sport for a Lifetime" is carried out in 36 events for all ages, singles, doubles and family. To Avert Mishaps Six million Americans going splish-splash — and often flip-flop — in the water. That's the picture as a nation of water skiers nonchalantly skims over miles and miles of waterways — or tries to, at least. Little information is available on what happens when a water skier is unsuccessful in his attempts to remain upright, since reporting of mishaps on water — America's new-found playground — is far from complete. While the facts on water skiing accidents may not be handy, you can find plenty of information on the art of skiing in summer. From the National Safety Council, for example, come these tips for skiing fun: 1. Don't ski if you can't swim. 2. Don't ski at night, in rough water or in shallow or unknown waters. 3. Don't ski near swimmers, docks or other obstructions. 4. Don't ski with an inexperienced boat operator. Make sure an extra person is in the boat to keep an eye on the skier. 5. Never wrap a tow around your body. If you start to fall, throw the line clear of yourself. 6. Always approach the shore at an angle — never straight in. If you fall, the experts advise: 1. Stay with your skiis — they will help keep you afloat. 2. Raise your hand to signal the boat operator of your plight. 3. In congested waters, raise a ski so other boats will see you. The experts also say that consideration for others and safety consciousness go long way toward preventing water accidents. "We're not trying to be wet blankets about water skiing," said Ralph Kuhli, the National Safety Council's director of public safety. "We want you to have fun. We just want you to stay alive and healthy to enjoy it." Let's go on a hike! Or—"Why can't WE camp out overnight?" Chances are very good you'll wind up doing one or the other. Maybe you know all the ins and outs of hiking and camping. If you don't, these hints from the National Safety Council can mean the difference between an unpleasant outing and an accident-free time of fun. Because hiking and camping are largely unorganized activities, few national accident statistics are available. But reports filtering in from across the nation indicate that two major hazards are poisonous plants and poisonous reptiles. Most persons are immune to the effects of the majority of the 60 kinds of U.S. plants that can cause skin irritation. But nearly every one who touches poison ivy, poison oak or poison sumac is affected somewhat. Poison ivy is either a low shrub or a climbing or creeping vine. Plant leaves, which may be notched or smooth, are arranged in groups of three on short stalks or unequal length. The leaves are shiny, dark green in summer, brilliant orange or scarlet in fall. In May and June you will notice tiny white flowers clustered at the base of the leaves. Found in woods or in the open in dry or moist locations, along fence rows, paths, roadways or in places where birds roost, and in every state except California and Nevada. Poison oak, similar to poison ivy, is usually a shrub but sometimes a vine. The leaflets (which resemble small oak leaves) occur in groups of three, are deeply lobed and somewhat hairy. Poison sumac (alliases: poison ash, poison dogwood, poison elder and thunderwood), a shrub, may be found as a tree 20-30 feet tall. Its leaflets are sharply pointed smooth and oily. Has smooth cream-colored "berries" growing in loose clusters along the side of the branch or stem. Best way to avoid getting ivy poisoning, says the Council, is to stay away from the poisonous plants.

Seventh St., Los Angeles 14, Calif. Due to the combined effort of several county agencies and the cooperation of a federal agency, a 115-acre regional park, proposed for a site behind the Carbon Canyon Dam at Brea, was presented to the Planning Commission who unanimously approved the preliminary map. It will now be submitted to the Corps of Engineers for review and recommendations. The present map indicates the position of such facilities as picnic areas, playing fields, a fishing pool, volleyball, tennis, archery, a riding and hiking trail station, and several parking areas. Also in the map is a 15-acre area for nature study, a region suggested by the Sea and Sage Audubon Society of Orange County. School groups have offered to maintain such a region. THE SUGGESTION for the recreation area was made by Fullerton Chapter No. 15 of the Izaa Walton League of America, and was followed by such groups as the Audubon Society, the Kiwanis Club of La Habra, the Fullerton Lions Club, and the Northern Council of the Boy Scouts of America. The 32-acre Debris Lake, often filled with water, and located at the base of the major portion of the park, is not to be included in the general plan of development. Tentative plans for this parcel.
