PARK COMMITTEE ASKS CONTRIBUTIONS OF MANY FEATURES "I would like to see many organizations and individuals follow the example of the Kiwanis club which has contributed funds for a wedding pool in the lety park," Councilman Howard aGtes, chairman of the city park committee, said today.

Gates, chairman of the city park committee, said today. "There are many features which would be contributed," continued Gates. "It now appears that it is going to strain the $100,090 bond issue to follo whte plans of the park architect as council and citizens want them followed and we dislike calling for another bond issue if it can be avoided. "The swimming pool will cost $20,000, about $10,000 more than originally estimated. We now plan to make it 50x150 feet, somewhat larger than such features have been made in other So. Cal. parks. We have been advised by other park builders to make it this size. One reason for this is that standard swimming races may be staged, two laps permitting a 100-yard race. "Among the features that might well be donated are a little temple, several shelters or pavilions, flagpole by fountain, on either side of the greeting, playground equipment, shelters, and fireplaces in auto camp ground, monkey cages, bird cages, etc. "Al Pape has two monkeys he will give the park as soon as they can be accepted. In the city treasury is $500 given several years for a fountain memorial to the memory of Mrs. A. Langenberger one of the city's pioneers. In our visitors to other parks of So. Cal. we have noticed a large number of bequests of features as above suggested. At Alhambra, there are rustic bridges, shelters, concrete picnic tables and other things which bear tablets telling of the donors."

ANAHEIM'S STORES CLOSED IN HONOR OF PIONEER WOMAN FINE BUT ANAHEIM EXPOSITION BETTER Well, San Berdoo, we've seen your show. And we take off our hats to you. You're a credit to the Orange empire—But— We think we've got you beat right here in Anaheim. You display more fruit than we did; your exhibit of canned and candied marmalade, orange peel, etc., and of orange blossoms preserved in wax is beautiful; your zone is larger than ours was; and so is your commercial exhibit. But we saw no features as the Old Mission, representing the exhibit of oranges of the C. C. Chapman ranch; the oil wells in operation of La Habra; King Valencia of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association; Elk's exhibit with a real elk; or the Anaheim Orange and Lemon association's Queen Gloriana, to name a few of the many which we happen to recall. You show a few pomeles, which we didn't, but the wonderful display of avocados, which we had is wholly lacking in your show. The entertainment by the Santa Monica Municipal band, Long Beach band, parts of your local Elk's band, Pomona College glee club, Redlands University Men's glee club and the Girl's glee club, Santa Monica Choral Society, Southern California Edison orchestra has been excellent we have no doubt but there has been no fashion revue, no vaudeville, no babies and children's exhibit. If we may insert that in this connection and our music while not so extensive was equally good. We saw no exhibits of 50 to 100 fine paintings, including marines valued at $1,000 or more, such as the Laguna Beach artists put on here. Your auto show was about half the size of ours, and not nearly so well gotten up. But of course we have never seen as fine navel oranges, your lemons were at least the equal of any we have witnessed anywhere, and all of your fruit was well displayed. May you continue to prosper.
