MISSION LAGOON
Residents of the Mission Lagoon and Potato Patch Lagoon areas are voicing concern over continued erosion of land in those areas. Al Levine has had fill material placed around the base of this home which is virtually lapped by sea waves now at high tide. Louis Horn is building a wooded sea wall in an attempt to keep wave action from further eroding his front yard. When the tide is out the lagoon areas turn into vast evil smelling mudflats filled with debris. It is feared by area residents that high tides particularly if accompanied by storm winds would cause further property damage. Area residents have also been concerned about fresh water wells going dry. Red Cross is sparking efforts to assist in getting the area provided with fresh water.

HUMOR
The following letter was received by City Manager Ralph S. Jones from a member of MacNamara's band:

Dear Sir:
When I got to the building, I found that the tidal wave had knocked some bricks off the top, so I rigged up a beam with a pulley at the top of the building and hoisted up a couple of barrels of bricks. When I had fixed the building, there was a lot of bricks left over. I hoisted the barrel back up again and secured the line at the bottom and then went up and filled the barrel with extra bricks. Then I went to the bottom and cast off the line. Unfortunately, the barrel of bricks was heavier than I was; and before I knew what was happening, the barrel started down, jerking me off the ground. I decided to hand on; and halfway up, I met the barrel coming down and received a severe blow on the shoulder. I then continued to the top, banging my head against the beam and getting my fingers jammed in the pulley. When the barrel hit the ground, it burst its bottom, allowing the bricks to spill out. I was now heavier than the barrel, and so started down again at high speed. Halfway down, I met the barrel coming up and received severe injuries to my shins. When I hit the ground, I landed on the bricks, getting several painful cuts from the sharp edges. At this point, I must have lost my presence of mind, because I let go the line. The barrel then come down, giving me another heavy blow on the head and putting me in the hospital. I respectfully request sick leave.

Yours very truly,
