5 Your State Senator REPORTS BY SENATOR RICHARD RICHARDS Hearings this month by legislative interim committees should establish in some degree just how much authority the Legislature may have in the development of parks and beaches supported by State funds. This committee activity stems from the rejection last month by the Slate Park Commission five projects for which the Legislature appropriated funds in the Budget Session last March, and on which Los Angeles County had asked early action. Major projects on which approval was withheld included the proposed La Mirada Park in the Downey Norwalk area, for which has been appropriated; and the Royal Palms Beach area, in San Pedro, for which $300,000 was earmarked. Even the approval of the Pud- dingstone Dam recreational area was conditioned on the elimination of a proopsed folk course, which will require an extensive alteration in the 1 County's plans for this project. The inclusion of a golf course was also given as the reason for Commission's rejection of any early action on La Mirada Park, 'for Angeles County has already appropriated $590,000 in addition to the 5100,000 set aside by the State.

Refusal by the Park Commis- I sion to approve thrse projects jthus raised the question whether the Legislature, after appropriat- Hug specific amounts for these in determining how or funds will be expended. At the San Francisco meeting of the Park Commission on September 21, was plainly hinted that Los Angeles County Legislators, who stood together in insisting on the addition of S4.000,- 000 to the original requested in the Budget, had done so largely for the purpose of gaining favor in their local dis tricts. While it is normal and proper for a legislator to look out for his district in the apportioning of such funds, we were certainly not reaching lor more than our County's fair share when we insisted on doubling the amount considered sufficient by (lie Park Commission. In the meantime there is still no indication that the Commission intends to give the majority of these projects any reasonable I priority in its five-year master 'plan for beach and park ment throughout the State as a whole. The hearings this month by two jseparate committees should throw considerable new light on legisla- itivc authority in this field.

At least they will provide us with some basis for discussion as to what further action, if any. can taken in the 1957 session. 'The Merry Widow' Planned For Monrovia Nov. 10-11 An outstanding cultural eventi will be presented November 10 and 11 in the auditorium of the Monrovia High School when Western San Gabriel Vallcyitcs will- have an opportunity to see 'The Merry Widow" the first production of the Sail Gabriel Valley Light Opera Association. The lilting music of Lehar will be heard again in the Valley, and it is possible to distinguish the haunting melody of "Vilia," as it is being hummed and whistled on the streets of Monrovia, Arcadia, San Gabriel, Alhambra, El Monte and Pasadena.

Frolicking Musical Sally Manley and Joseph Campagna in the roles of, "Sonia" and "Prince Dnnilo" carry the leads in the frolicking musical about a wealthy young widow from a fictitious land who descends upon Paris in the nearly 19th century.

Because of her charm, beauty, and money particularly 'the latter, she soon has most of tin. eligible Parisian males at her feet. As "Sonia," the vivacious Sally Manli-y of Arcadia has been hailed by Director IK-ni'y Reese, formerly Director for the Hojly- jwood Opera Reading Club, ns the most suitable woman in the role in his many years of theatrical production. Joseph Campagna of Snn Gabriel won the part of "Prince Danilo" only after a long search for a handsome dashing figure with an ability to act. Rehearsals have been under way since September 1 and are now nearing a climax.

Dancing in the light opera will be highlighted by many ballet scenes, choreography for which is being done by Dorothee de Ponl of The de Pont School of Ballet.

Gilbert, M. Los Angeles County Health Officer In these days when so many mothers work outside the home, the provision of a satisfactory and well-balanced lunch for children may become something of a problem. Generally the child carries a packed lunch or is given money so that he can eat lunch in the school cafeteria. Oftentimes, according to surveys made on children's eating habits, much of the lunch money goes for the purchase of what nutritionists call "empty" calories. In other words, youthful dissipation in candy and soft drinks.

choice of food is given in the school cafeteria, children fail to select the items that make for a well-balanced nutritious lunch. Teachers cannot always keep track of the food that each child eats, and nutrition education is sometimes forgotten by hungry youngsters. Many schools attempt to meet this situation by providing a well-balanced plate lunch, lunch at nearby' hamburger and malt shops, whore the temptation lo buy a soft drink and put nick- les in the juke box may take precedence over good eating habits. Adolescent boys generally nuke better food choices than do girls, i it was stated, and one of the rea-1 sons given was the prevalent fashion in slimness which causes many a teenage girl to go on a "stay slim" diet of her own. In these reducing, diets, the essential foods needed for growth and health are likely to be curtaifeci' and hunger satisfied with sweets more often than not.
