Began in 1890 The tradition of the County There are over 160 prize-winning entries in the contest exhibits; more than a million dollars worth of commercial display items and nearly $40,000 in prizes in a dozen categories for exhibitors competition. A host of features are on each day, combined with a variety of entertainment that appeals to all ages, the fair officials emphasize. Began in 1890 The tradition of the County Fair has been a part of Orange County almost since the beginning of the County, for the first District Fair Association was organized in 1890. The first livestock department was exhibited at a racetrack located at Bristol and Edinger Streets in southwstern Santa Ana. Agricultural and feature exhibits were shown in downtown one time the Fair was held in the one time the Fair was held in the partially completed Opera House and later the exhibits were housed in Neal's Hall, near Fourth and Bush Streets. After the turn of the century, the Fair blended with the Parade of Products when the Pacific Electric Railway was brought to Orange County. A Carnival of Products was held for several years. Huntington Beach was the Fair's home for two years after World War I. Then the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce took over sponsorship with temporary fairgrounds on East Fruit Street. After two years, the Orange County Farm Bureau took over management of the Fair until a County Fair Board was elected in 1925. Buy Fair Grounds In the late 1920's, Fairgrounds were purchased across the Highway from the Orange County Hospital. An arena was used for rodeos and horse shows until the Depression era. Presentation was combined with the Annheim Valencia Orange Show, then the Assistance League of Orange County staged a colorful horse show in 1937. After the interruption of World War II the League staged one more Fair and Horse Show before organization of the present-day District Agricultural Association and purchase of the permanent 175-acre Fairgrounds on New- PLENTY OF STEAKS — Cindy De Beer, a member o fthe Magnolia 4-H Club of Anaheim, brushehs her steer, Ambrose as he feeds.

Group to Push Safety Program Formation of a community organization to combat the continually increasing traffic accident rate in Orange County was announced this week at a planning meeting of the group's steering committee held at the Santa Ana office of the Automobile Club of Southern California. Known as the Orange County Traffic Safety Forum (OCTSF), the new organization's basic function will be to develop a county-wide coordinated plan to stimulate awareness among motorists and pedestrians as to major traffic accident causes. At monthly meetings, ideas, materials and information will be presented to participating members showing how the civic groups, service clubs, chambers of commerce and other community organizations they represent can help promote traffic safety in their respective groups, according to George E. Watts, Public Affairs Manager for Allstate Insurance and chairman of the new OCTSF Steering Committee. "Our committee members, representing a cross section of Orange County, have pooled their thoughts and ideas and come up with what we think will be a workable plan to help safety ested citizens together once a month and present one of Orange County's major traffic problem and provide participants with resources which will help solve the problem," Watts added. "We have films, speakers, pamphlets statistics and every conceivable type of aid which those in a tendance can select from to take back to their membership or city," he said. The group's first general meeting has been set for August 6 at 12:00 noon at the Jolly Roger Inn Anaheim.

The U.S. Army Signal Corps has awarded a two-year study contract to Autonetics, the electronics division of North American Aviation, Inc., to develop and test semiconductor diodes made of cadmium telluride crystals. The crystal diodes emit light when a current is passed through them. One application of this light could be replacement for wires and connections, to simplify manufacturing and increase reliability in data processing and other electronic equipment. Diodes are electrical devices which permit current to flow one way only in an electrical circuit. Cadmium, a tin-like metal, and tellurium, a member of the sulphur family, will be compounded.

SEWER BONDS (Continued from Page 1) dent and industry of immediate service. Senior Group Plan Potluck The Senior Citizen Group of the Anaheim Park and Recreation Department are planning a potluck picnic at Pearson Park on July 22, Mrs. Flossye Morse, president reports.

The kitchen committee in charge of the affair has been announced as Lela Wilkinson, Mary Hund, Mae Byrne, Augusta Tobey Rose Mouch, and Julia Bojanowski. SEWER BONDS (Continued from Page 1) dent and industry of immediate service. In 1969 a 100 man citizens committee for capital improvements in Anaheim made a thorough research and recommended that the city continue with its method for building the city's sewer system with funds from the off-site sewer charge, and from bond issues. At the time of the last bond election in 1960, sewer bonds were not included on the ballot since it was decided the revolving fund could provide for sewer construction through the next three years. Funds "Underground" During that time new sewer trunk lines continued to be installed on proposed sites and are being paid off as those areas are developed. Now, most of the revolving fund is underground waiting to be reimbursed. According to a report from the Economic Research Associates presented to the city council last month, Anaheim's population of 135,000 will grow to 228,000 by 1980. As in the past, we must move to prepare for this new progress, and continue to build the sewer system for future development. A part of the new sewer development from the proposed bonds will be in the Santa Ana Canyon area East of the Newport Freeway, and in the Northeast industrial area. Eventually, when we reach complete development, Anaheim's entire sewer system will pay for itself and retire its own bonds.
