year life, the LBCEO in 1970 became one of only 10 community action agencies out of 1,200 in the nation to be selected, for funding ahead of time because of its successful operations. In 1974, toe learning centers operated by Youth Development Project, and funded through LBCEO, were named as the most innovative community action program in California. By DON BRACKENBURY Staff Writer The eighth anniversary of toe Long Beach Commission on Economic Opportunities (LBCEO) is to be celebrated at a dinner at toe Golden Sails Inn, with present and former members of its board of directors as honorees. The public is invited to the birthday dinner, and reservations may now be made at the LBCEO office, 853 Atlantic according to a spokesman. During its eight years, the LBCEO has grown from an agency supervising three programs involving a few hundred thousand dollars to one which coordinates a variety of activities whose total funds are nearing $6 million A.

commission began when a com- mittee of concerned citizens was formed in 1965 to work with toe Community Welfare Council to plan LBCEO as a nonprofit corporation under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964. It was incorporated in January 1967. In its first year, the LBCEO was involved with only three programs Head Start, manpower and youth. By 1969. available funding had climbed to $2.5 million, and by 1970 it was more than $4 million.

Needy suffer as clonatious RECORD CITY COLLEGE ENROLLMENT SIGHTED before the Dec. 16 cut off date for Christmas baskets, she said. Our increased caseloads because of the high unemployment rate make the picture ever bleaker, she said. Pack said the number of families on lists to date is 2,400, but more are. coming in each day.

and the total could top last years record. It was the same story in Orange County, where Salvation Army spokesmen reported a 35 per cent increase in requests and an 8 per cent decrease in 1 contributions. Col. Milton Agnew, Christmas said 850 families were supplied. last year and estimated that 1,200 would be in need this year.

He estimated the greater need and fewer donations could add up to a 50 per cent deficiency in meeting the needs of county residents. Mrs. Herrington reminded, Theres still time for people to send in contributions. Lots of folks cant afford much, but if 5,000 people each sent in a dollar that could supply the need, she said. Donations can be mailed to Operation Christmas, P.O.

Box 700, in care of toe Independent, There are fewer givers and more needy families in Long Beach this Christmas than in any previous Yule-tide, in two decades, a survey of community sources has said. Donald R. Pack of toe Long Beach Salvation Army said contributions for the agencys annual Christmas help program to date are only $6,500 of the needed $12,000 and the number of needy families may top last years record Last year donations reached $9,000 for Christmas baskets, food certificates and toys. The degree of need is much greater this year, he added. Last year there were perhaps some borderline cases, but this season the needs are' dire and desper-ate.

His assessment was echoed by Mrs. Maycie Herrington, resource coordinator for the local Department of Public Social Services: Ive been working with toe Christmas program since 1950 and I cant recall a worse situation since the minor recession in 1952,. she said. Things are' worse than 52 for more people today because of the inflation. General relief rolls are higher, and were getting a lot of calls from really desperate people who didnLsign up rollment of 28,417 students in the fall semester was 3,000 higher than average for the preceding 10 semesters.

The board voted to apply for two jobtraining grants from the city of Long Beach. 1 A $64,300 grant would train about 100 unemployed women who are educationally disadvantaged for entering a variety of occupations. A second grant for $85,000 would train 30 unemployed or underemployed persons to become licensed vocational nurses. The board also accepted $1,000 in -scholarship funds from the Benwdl Foundation and adopted a new sabbatical-leave policy for City College-faculty members. A record number of women, senior citizens and job-oriented students will attend Long BechCity College next semester because of the nations troubled economy, the college president has predicted.

They are seeking to upgrade their skills and to use their leisure time constructively in an effort to keep pace with the changing times, Dr. Frank C. Pearce said of the increasing number of pew students. Pearce told the Board of Education Wednesday that enrollment climbed rapidly last fall after declining the two previous years. Enrollment could top 31,000 students in the spring, he predicted.

He said the college's record high en ON A blustery morning, 1 Rancher came into our front yard with a seven-foot conifer on his shoulder. And so we had our Christmas tree without the necessity of 'going up the canyon and cutting one, as Ive done on previous years up here. John found toe tree, beauty, on the hills back of his house on toe Cedar-ville road. He had thought of! while cutting his -'It was taller than any tree Weve had here. We sat it on the floor instead of a table, but it still was wellsUnder the 10-foot, 3-.

Night traffic on our lane is hardly like the San Diego Freeway. Three or four cars a night, usually from the' Conlan Ranch house at the turn, is about it. But it sure does a lot for the interior of our house.

YOU MAY be wonder-' jng if we will havq a white Christmas in this, high country. We share. the speculation. In past seasons. Ive been able to write Merry Christmas from a place that looks like.

Christmas. But so far, weve had what they call an open winter. A couple of inches of the white stuff me morning and it was gone by night fall. This piece, of course, is written about a week ahfead of print. So anyv thing can happen; and we hope )t snows.

ITS THE time for nos- talgia and Id be less than truthful if I didnt confess I get a little homesick for old Long Beach at this The shopping crowds, the traffic, the Salvation Army carols at the street corner, the Armys kettle and the Volunteers chim ney, the street decorations, the glittering stores, the parties and the meet-' ings with good friends all of these I miss-. But yearning for Other times and other places is part of the bittersweet experience of Christmas. I. could be there, but I am here, and it looks like a great day coming up. Nay it be happy for each of you.

A Pool DOOMED MOTHER, TOTS NEED CHEER With Christmas just two days away, a Long Beach mother and her four children face a bleak holiday. They have no money for a festive holiday -dinner or for toys under a Christmas tree. And this could be their last Christmas together. Physicians have told the mother she is terminally and has only a short time left to live. But for this woman and for hundreds of other destitute parents its difficult to tell small children why there are no presents under the tree.

Operation Christmas can help these but first it needs help from the community. The annual Christmas project, sponsored by the Independent. Press-Telegram and nine community agencies, will take your donations and distribute them to needy families. Monetary donations no matter what size may be mailed to Operation Christmas, P.O. Box 700, Long Beach 90801.

Donations of canned and staple foods and toys may be delivered to the project warehouse at 455 E. Spring SL TOBOGGAN TIME AT SCHERER PARK It may be warm and sunny in Long Beach during the holidays, but that doesnt mean kids will have to travel a hundred miles to go tobogganing. Once again, the Long Beach Recreation Department is scheduled to construct its toboggan slide in Scherer Park, and youngsters as well as a few daring adults can take the big slide next Monday starting, at 11 a.m. in Scherer Park, 4600 Long Beach Bivd. Four tons of shaved ice are to be placed in gpfjany built toboggan runs by maintenance men-of the Recreation Department Toboggans will be provided and there is no charge for the run, according to Linda Sharpe, recreation leader at Scherer Park.

More than 500 youngsters, and a sprinkling of adults; turned out for last years slide. Miss Sharpe said. The toboggan run is scheduled to be open until the ice melts, she said, and even with hot weather, that usually means until 3 p.m. at least Recreation leaders said they plan to be on hand to see that all youngsters get their fair'share of runs. winter any more in November, Mrs.

DuPont said. The Long Beach Building Trades Council has pledged free labor for the construction, and materials suppliers already have donated quantities concrete block and electrical equipment. However, because therapeutic pods must be kept at 90 degrees, additional blower fans to remove humidity from the structure are among needed electrical equipment, said Mrs. Dupont, a former international swimming champion who was striken with polio. She began helping other handicapped persons in her own pool at home after her rehabili- funds currently available will be used largely for structural steel and aluminum.

When operating, the CCPH provides one-on-one instruction by skilled volunteers for more than 200 persons a Six years after launching its summer rehabilitation programs, the California Communities Pod for the Handicapped Inc. (CCPH) is undertaking the major projeet enclosing its. therapeutic swimming facility at 6801 Long Beach Blvd. for year-round service. The CCPH began its free services In May, 1968, when it purchased the two outdoor pods for $68,000, even though the organization could not pay off that stub for four years.

Evelyn founder and executive director, said she and her volunteer helpers immediately' began dreaming of another $50,000 outlay as the estimated cost dendosure. Now the group has its $50,000, and work on the structure will begin Jan. 6, Mrs. DuPont said. But Because infla: tion and special requirements, the cost will now total about $200,000.

The summer season -will open as usual in June and if the hoped-for contributions funds and materials are realized, We will not have to close for the 'i.
