hike Marine Commandant Gen David Shoup showed the 1908 executive order to President Kennedy recently The President wondered if present officers could meet that test General Shoup said he would find

of Harbor City sister Gwendolyn Davis of Pennsylvania and nine grandchildren Burial will take place at Green Hills Memorial Park But the job is simply too vast for them It is one thing to watch a television announcer read a news bulletin to you It is quite another thing to pick up a newspaper yourself and read through its almost infinite variety as you choose The bare bones of big political events can be given adequately over the air But people are interested in small events too and other kinds of information only newspapers carry in detail Housewives miss the food ads and the recipes and articles on child rearing they like to clip and save The businessman misses the announcement of promotions in other firms and the news of fresh products And everybody from teen-agers to pensioners misses the advice to the lovelorn the interviews with ports and entertainment notables the Hollywood love squabbles the medical advice columns Most big newspapers carry all these things But the strike here has demonstrated that just any newspaper do Many thousands of newspapers including some of the best in have been shipped in and sold here during the last two months But they filled the gap either People like best the local newspaper they are used to They are most vitally interested in the affairs of their own community It is big news to them who died married or was born here not somewhere else And only their own local newspaper can tell them that Doctor Dies After Crash EL MONTE IP An Arcadia physician died Thursday night of burns suffered when his rented plane crashed into a residential area His wife was killed in the accident early Thursday Dr James Quisenberry Jr 48 succumbed at Arcadia Methodist Hospital Quisenberry was tossed from the plane into a pool of burning gasoline His

the plane smashed into a garage behind a home The couple was returning from Banning where they had flown to By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK At breakfast you read the cereal box On the way to work you memorize the car cards One elderly gentleman stockbroker type was recently observed on the subway thumbing through a copy of with a look of quiet disapproval the way it is in a city that has been without a major newspaper for two months The hunger for print is so strong that people will read practically anything But nothing fills the gap- feel like living in a complained my wife the way several millions of New Yorkers have felt ever since a strike shut down the the daily here last December You never know how much you miss a thing until it is no longer there And people who have taken their daily newspaper for granted are surprised in how many ways they miss it now that they can no longer buy it No other instrument of civilization fills so many various roles as does a daily newspaper Nothing else serves so many wants satisfies so many curiosities circulates so many kinds of information Other mass media particularly radio' and television stations have moved massively here in an attempt to satisfy the right to know Cal-Vet Funds for Vets Only SACRAMENTO tft Any move to extend the Cal-Vet farm and home loan program to non-veteran low-cost housing will draw the opposition of Joseph Farber

and basic laws of our state in regard to home loans for our He added that he supports a bill to use surplus funds from the Cal-Vet program for other state veterans programs is a substantial surplus

creating the warmth and understanding so important to growth Adults know it is a character-building and citizenship-training experience for their sons Raising a youngster to become a responsible

during the Civil War when he began writing his novel By DON JONES Some people wonder if the Parent-Teacher Association of 259th Place School Lomita sponsors an organization among their other galaxy of achievements Well they do just not only one but many One of their is Cub Scout Pack 115-C which meets every fourth Friday evening at the school auditorium The PTA sponsors the Cub Scouts because such a pack of boys complements and completes the program planned by such an organization and because a Cub pack is a foundation upon which to build young men with character by working playing and growing with other boys and adult leaders Cub Scouting affords the boys an opportunity to grow into well-balanced manhood by practicing Christian principles which are included in the Cub Scout Oath and Law
