The Malibu Lions' Ladies would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank Mr. Morris for the use of the Cove, and Jim White and Tommy Thompson of the new Malibu Mayfair Market for ar¬ ranging for donations from the following distributors: potato chips from Laura Scudder; root beer from Dad's Root Beer; as¬ sorted soft drinks from Par-T- Pak; mayonnaise and mustard from Kraft; relish from Wilshire Pickle Co.; hot dogs from Grand Taste; and items too numerous to mention from the Malibu Mayfair Market.

In commenting on passage of the bill during an unprecedented period of important Federal legis¬ lation affecting the national secur¬ ity and the international situation. County Counsel Harold W. Ken¬ nedy told the Board of Supervis¬ ors: “It is with pleasure. . . ., that the County Counsel advises that because of the splendid coop- ; oration and experienced leader¬ ship furnished by Congressman Clair Engle in his capacity as Chairman of the Insular Affairs Committee and because of tlie aggressive action on the part of Senator Thomas H. Kuchel and ] Congressman Craig Hosmer, also j a member of the Insular Ai fairs Committee of the House of Rep¬ resentatives, that Congressman Engle was enabled to secure a suspension of the rules permitting j the House of Representatives to j Vote on S.

It is further provided that such plants shall be designed to demonstrate the reliability, engineering, opera, ting, and economic potentials ol the sea or brackish water conver¬ sion processes which the Secre¬ tary shall select from among the most promising of the presently known technological processes. "The bill provides that a decks- 1 ion with respect to the processes to be utilized in the first of these five plants shall be made by the | Secretary within six months ni¬ ter the date of approval of Senate J. R. 135, and decisions with res¬ pect to the processes to be utiliz¬ ed in the other plants shall follow at intervals of not more than six months, and the construction cf such plants shall proceed as rapid¬ ly as is practicable. ‘“At least one plant which is designed for the conversion of sea water shall be located on the West Coast of the United States,*” says the measure. •‘‘The bill carried an authoriza¬ tion for the appropriation of not to exceed $10,000,000 as may be necessary to provide for the con¬ struction of such demonstration plants. “When I was in Washington D. C. last week I had an extended conference with Mr. David S.
