The narrow alley is currently being turned into pork called the "Walk of the Barrels." Times photo by John Malmin GOOD VIEW AT TOP LA.

Alley Becomes 7Wallc of the Barrels7 BY BAT HEBERT Tlmtt UrbM Affair Writ CONCERN Continued from First Page State Fullerton militants. It has pushed for opening of the park and submitted a list of demands to the -city. James Cowie park and recreation director, said he expects the concert permit to be issued to the front unless the police find objections to the bands. The front had no part in sponsoring the generally peaceful concert Sunday. It resulted in 24 arrests in the park and several outside, according to Cor-nett, but none of the arrests involved acts of violence.

Only one of the 24 lives in Fullerton and eight are juveniles. the CSO's backyard alley project was started 18 months ago as a pilot effort to upgrade the environment of some East Los Angeles neighborhoods. Two young architects-Richard Tell and James Bonar donated their design services. Department of Labor funds were for actual labor. But the project director, Alex Man, estimated that $20,000 worth of other sen-ices and materials from soil studies and engineering to cement and pipe were donated.

The project was conceived by CSO Director Anthony P. Rios to stimulate neighborhood property improvements and create an area where families and children could gather." The park Is expected to be completed in about two months. Even though some work remains to be done, three houses adjacent to the alley-park have been painted or stuccoed by their owners. 3LSiLoo Benefits of Leasing the Family Car Increasing numbers of Americans now lease the family car. Apparently, the idea ist "What's good for cost-conscious business men, is also good for the family man." In Orange County many families are taking advantage of a remarkable Teasing program offered by Garden Grove Lincoln Mercury.

This very different program lends itself to family budgeting by including service and maintenance at no additional charge: oil, oil changes, seals, transmission service, etc. In addition, the dealer buys your present car, freeing capital for investment in the market or that vacation property on the river. And every two years, you get a brand new car. For an excellent booklet on this subject call our leasing secretary. Garden Grove Lincoln Mercury (COUGAR, TOO) BROOKHURST AT GARDEN GROYE 636-2980 In the hilly City Terrace area, not far from the San Bernardino Freeway, you will find the "Walk of the Barrels" tucked away off a quiet neighborhood street, The walk Paseo de los Barriles is really a park and it may be the most unusual one in the Los Angeles region.

Now nearing comple. tlon, it's in a backyard alley, once an unpaved footpath filled with trash. It consists of a series of circular concrete barrels-six in all containing steps which climb the 520-foot long hillside alley. The alley-converted-in-to-a-park has landings spaced at intervals. Lights have been installed and trees, bushes, shrubs and grass will be planted soon to complete the park-like effect.

Most alleys are narrow and confining. They give users a feeling they are in a tunnel. But the one a block southeast of City Terrace Drive and Eastern Ave. is different. 'Reaching Out' It rises 50 feet up the hillside, between houses, and at the top the alley-park offers a panoramic view of the city.
