Jack Rutherford, supervisor of the sixth district of county co-ordinating councils, was present and answered questions asked him concerning the work of the council and of the standing committees.

The council felt that by virtue of his position as city judge, Downling would be the logical person for the chairman of the adjustment committee. Because the work of the environment and character building comittees are so closely related, it was decided that Begg would be the logical man to serve in that capacity by virtue of his connection with young people. Groups represented at Monday night's meeting included the city council, city school, board of school trustees, teachers of the grammar and high schools, boy scouts, Lions Club, Neptunian Club, Parent-Teacher Association, Veterans of Foreign Wars and its auxiliary, American Legion and its auxiliary, Catholic church, Community church and Manhattan Forum.

AMBITIOUS PROGRAM FOR SCHOOL ORCHESTRA An ambitious rogram is being planned for the orchestra at Manhattan Peach elementa school by Julius Piller, instructor. With an ensemble for beginners being established, and an advanced orchestra already organized, Piller intends to build up an orchestra which he hopes will be good advertising for the school and, for Manhattan Beach.

The advanced orchestra, with fourteen members from the third to eighth grade, is nicely balanced. There are six violinists, accordion player, two cornetists, one clarinetist, one 'cellistfi two pianplayers and one drummer. The beginners orchestra has twelve members, five violinists, two piano players, two clarinetists, an accordion player, a trombone player, a drummer, Piller hopes by Christmas time to combine the two units. The beginners group was to have been organized during the summer months, but somehow it was neglected, and Piller hopes this will not be repeated next year. A third unit for advanced students in the upper grades is also conducted by Piller.

This is considerable smaller than either of the two other groups, but when all are combined it will make an impressive symphony orchestra. Piller says there is a lack of instruments, however. Pupils are looking forward to the annual trip to Tustin, where Tiller also conducts an orchestra. Each year the combined groups present two exchange concerts, one here and the other at Tustin.

SAVING BY THE CALENDAR IS VERY GOOD PRACTICE "A dime laid away keeps track of the day." Saving by the calendar is being practiced by many south bay people following introduction in this community of the "Calemeter" by the Inglewood Federal Savings and Loan Association.

By this means the savings of a dime each day operates a calendar causing it to change dates each time a. at-lime is placed in it. The is being brought to local people in a campaign of the saving association to bring to every householder the message of the government's insurance plan for savings up to $5000 invested in the association. The attractive little instrument, made of metal, is finished in either black or silver. It serves not only as a savings bank but a calendar.

By inserting a dime in a slot the date moves forward one day. Thus its owner can keep track of the days and lay aside savings as well. Each little bank holds $25. "There has been a popular response to this savings plan," says B. K.

Richardson, president of loan association. NEW ASSISTANT PASTOR AT CATHOLIC CHURCH Reverend Michael J. Noonan, who comes to Redondo Beach from Huntington Beach, has been named assistant pastor at St. James Catholic church here. Father Noonan was formerly at Oxnard.
