PREPARATION OF the site, including access roads, filling to elevation and clearing the area, will cost the harbor department $2687. Much of this work would have been done later, under the port's master plan. The restaurant will have 300 square feet of floor space, with a minimum seating capacity of 150 persons, TaHJchet told the hoard, IN ORDER TO make the lease possible on tidelands, the board made an official finding that the restaurant operation would be consistent with terms of its state grant.

With our new administration building, going up in that ares, as well as the planned new Van Gamp Sea Food Co. office near there, we need such a William A. Harrington, board president commented THIS IS the time of year when final exams are being held at colleges throughout the state, and it prompted Ed Rapoport to write a piece on final exam boners' in the Long Beach City Cbllege Viking, student newspaper. For one: question on his exam, Ed reports. Dr.

Adolph Stone, geography instructor, asked for the political taus of the Suez Canal. One student replied simply, Do you know? and let it go at that. In light of the circumstances surrounding the Suez Canal, Id hardly classify that as a bonehead 'answer. And apparently Dr. Sterne agreed.

At least he gave the' student credit for the answer. Another geography student described Paris as a typsical French city, and still another Identified the capital of The Netherlands as Haig and Haig. Together they make sense. I suppose Paris would look like "a typsical city" if one first did business with "Haig and Halo." DEATH DOLLARS New Canadian silver dollars which feature a eicture of a totem pole on onside now are circulating in the City of Long Beach. Seems these coins were dubbed Death Dollars" by PjimiHui Indians who claim that one of the faces shown on the totem pole is the Indian symbol for death.

Experts on Indian lore say this isn't true, but, nevertheless, there still are many superstitious individuals who wont have any-' thing to do with one of the dollars. -Anyhow, a friend of mine recently obtained one of these dollars. Actually it was given to him. to give to his small son as souvenir, but up to now he has failed to give the dollar to the kid. His excuse is that although he isnt the superstitious type, he still is hesitant about giving a small child a coin which people say is jinxed.

But, frankly, Im wondering if he isn't just hasnt found a good excuse to beat the boy out of a buck. SEVERAL people have asked fora report on the windup of our story about Carol White, who was fleeced out of his car by a slick operator who even rented an apartment for one Bay to help him 'make the theft! Well, justice prevailed in the end. Hie insurance company paid White the price he had asked for the car, and the fellow who stole it, who escaped from a rtate mental institution, is being returned to California to serve out a sentence for narcotics addiction. Last I heard, though, the insurance company isnt faring too tqeH on the deal. The thief had hired a lawyer to defend him in Wheeling, W.

and the lawyer, who tea never paid, filed a lei against the car. TWO SLIPS are better than one, sponsors of The Theater, 2400 Magnolia have discovered in the making of publicity pictures for the play, The Fifth Season, which opens Jan. 31. Seems the play is about life in the garment industry, and the action features a lot of pretty girls running around in their undergarments. And how to show off the girls to their best advantage for the publicity' pictures was the problem at hand.

Well, first they took pictures of the actresses wearing just plain slips, but that wouldnt do. Too little display of curves! Then they tried half slips with brassieres, but, no too risque! "Twas finally decided that a half -slip worn over a full slip is the best way to show off the female form.

This all happened when a fellow named Camillo' Brena was serving in the Army in Alaska.

He got in a poker game one night in Skagway, hit a lucky streak and soon found himself playing against but one man the real McGee. However, Bienas luck was unbeatable, and in one last futile attempt to win the last pot McGee anted his name. Brena Won, of course, and ever since Me has been known as McGee. by Board A co-ordinated three-point proposal toward, speeding repressurization of the Wilmington Oil Field was given general approval Monday by the Board of. Harbor Commissioners.

As explained to commission-1 ers by Samuel M. Roberts, the; citys subsidence control administrator, the proposal Includes; 1. Immediate gathering and assembling of basic data on all areas of the field other thn the citys own tidelands leases. The works estimated coat: 2.

Estimated cost: $5,000. S. Continuation by DeGolyer -and MacNaughton, citys consultants, of detailed reservoir engineering studies and design of a pressure maintenance program for the Fault Block IV area. Estimated coat: Cost of the work would be paid, by the citys tidelands funds; with a possibility of repayment later from revenue brought by additional oU. recovery gained through reprea-surlng.

G. E. of DeGolyer and MacNaughton, told com-, mlssioners the work would represent an effort to compress wha( would normally bo about a 10-year programTinto one two years. IF WE WANT this job done in a hurry, from a subsidence viewpoint, he said, we cant afford to si back and wait for the other producers to do it. We just cant wait The Fault Block IV area, ho said, is particularly critical -because it underlies the center of the subsidence bowL Also; hf said, that area has received study by engineers than any other portion of the field.

About 30 operators produce from the fault block. -Roberts praised cooperation given the city so far by major producers. All of these, and some smaller operators have compiled with the citys request to file letters with the State Division of Oil and Gas releas-ing val uable information gained through their engineering, he said.
