has come to the defense of the controversial Peripheral Canal designed to move water from the San Francisco Bay-Delta to Southern California The project would not harm the ecology of the Delta as some critics have claimed said Norman Livermore Jr California secretary of resources Instead he told the commonwealth Club Friday the situation is the other way around "The ecology of the Delta will be irreparably harmed if the Peripheral Canal is not built" he declared repealing claims of a recent POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT HELEN CONWELL Registered Nurse Is voting for Water Resources Department report The report said that although the canal would cut the water flow in the Delta by 60 per cent it would improve the overall environment by diverting part of the remaining water for release in what are now stagnant dead-end channels Raps Testimony Livermore criticized recent testimony by professors and engineers before the Bay Conservation Development Commission that diversion of fresh water out of the Bay Area would cause a salt water buildup and harm plant and fish life in the bay "This is most definitely not true" he said "I am sure many will agree with me that if there is any clearcut case of environmental destruction by a water project it would be attributed to San Francisco as a result of the city's action in drawing its water supply from distant mountains and destroying Iletch

Melvin Laird today called for "God's help to lead us along the way to peace and love among all his children" Laird at a meeting of the Presbyterians United for Biblical concerns said Modern man "somehow feels that the quality of human life is drteriorating" He said "We cannot ignore the divine power that alone will enable us to remove the scars afflicting our nation and the world" Laird son of a Presbyterian minister and himself a ruling elder in the church told the group that a Christian in public service is a dual servant of "both God and of the people and the responsibility he exercises must be used for the benefit of the people and in conformity with the Divine Will" Noting that man's "total mastery of the forces of nature appears ultimately to be inevitable" Laird said modern man "despite his phenomenal material progress sees violence erupt where order should exist and he somehow feels that the quality of human life is deteriorating "When man forgets his ul timate dependency on his Creator he violates his nature when man perceives himself in the place of God and relegates God to the tomb as some would do then man is indeed in serious danger" Laird said Retired
