Milias of Gilroy, chairman of the Republican State Central committee, which met at the Villa hotel in San Mateo over the weekend to map party strategy for 1960. In a "Blueprint for Victory" address that brought general approval from the 150 delegates, including 32 county chairmen, Milias declared that it was important that the image of the Republican party in the mind of the "man on the street" be changed to prove conclusively that it is the true representative of the people. Milias declared that the dignity the individual is best pre served by the Republican party that It is fundamentally built on the concept of Abraham Lincoln, "Of the people, by the people and for the people." in the program set forth Milias called for contributions every by every registered Rcpubli from $1 up, which would eliminate the necessity of heavy nance drives during election campaigns.

"Public Unaware" Milias pointed out that despite the fact that the Republican administration bad reduced the federal budget, giving the public the greatest tax reduction in 20 years, eliminated government competition with private business, blocked communist aggression, maintained the only lasting peace of the last two decades and skillfully managed our national and state affairs to achieve the greatest peacetime prosperity in history, that the public was so unaware that these accomplishments were secured through responsible Republican leadership, that they voted a good share of Republicans out of office. "It is our job," he said to tell every working man, every citizen of the State of California, that the Republican party is dedicated to the little man that its policy is to keep government as small 'and inexpensive as possible. Honesty, Efficiency "The Republican party believes in a government that is honest and efficient, dedicated to securing for each individual the maxi mum of freedom and imposing the minimum restraint," Milias declared. The chairmen outlined point program for the party to carry out, "starting now," to win support and victory in 1960: Reach the "grass roots" voter to provide a brosdeT base for political activity and campaign Contact the new resident who has not registered and the independent voted who Is uncom mitted.

Agricultural code to the floricul tural and cut flower industry. Britschgi's measure bears the endorsement of the California Farm Bureau Federation, the California Association of Nurserymen, and the California Slate Florists Association. May Prove A Boon The Redwood City legislator said the proposal, which, if passed, is expected to prove a boon to San Mateo county's floriculture and nursery industry, was the outgrowth of a recent court ruling which held that the marketing requirements were invalid as applied to bedding plants. Floriculture, the court added, did not fall within the definitions of agricultural products and thus was not covered by the marketing "Every Effort" "Due to the rapid decline within the industry in San Mateo county," Britschgi said, "every effort will be made to give deserving help to the industry. "A self help program which will not cost the taxpayers a cent since all costs will be borne by the industryshould help the industry to regain the high competitive level it once enjoyed.

This will be in the public interest. "Similar programs are already under way in agriculture, specifically in the fruit, livestock and dairy industries, for example, added, National Guard Has Openings A limited number of openings exist in the army national guard's six month training program. Under this program a young man serves only six months active duty instead of two years he would serve if he was drafted.

SCOUT MEETING San Mateo Cub Scout leaders will meet for their monthly leaders' roundtable Thursday at p.m.

at Lawrence school, San Mateo. School olficials here have long taken a stand against further residential development on the island, particularly high density development. They have indicated a strong preference for industrial growth on the island, to balance the tax burden and to relieve the pressure of burgeoning population on schools in the city.

Moreover, they added, there are very large areas of industrial land around the airport, and along the bayshore in the northern areas of the county.

In a discussion of coastal tide land prospective development, Anita Robertson.

South San Francisco representative, asked what happened to the plan to develop the coastal bay island off San Mateo into a Venice type area. The proposal was given considerable stature months ago with the appearance of the county mas It was suggested that lavish estate homes be built on the island, converting sloughs into canals and landscaping the grounds. A school's representative then spoke up. She explained that following publication of the proposal, county officials held meetings with large developers in this area. It was found, she went on.
