ELYSIAN PARK BOOKLET IN FULL COLOR
"THE PARK THAT WAS PRESERIBD," a handsome booklet in full
color, telling the story of Elysian Park, is in preparation. It
was conceived by Don Figge, gJ:>apbic designer and a member of our
Steering Committee, who has contributed color photography, comment,
and format. It is a beautiful pictoJ:>ial presentation that will
appeal to everyone who bas participated in the battle to save
Elysian Park and to others who know instinctively why people love
parks. We think you will want copies for yourself and your friends.
Cost $1.
A BOOKLET of this quality is expensive, and our tJ:>easurer,
Margaret Heerdt, repoJ:>ts that our funds are low. lie can bring it
out only if we receive orders for 1,000. Will you state on the en-
closed order form how many copies you would like? Please return
your order quickly so we can have the booklet ready about Dec. 1.
WE'RE STILL OPTIMISTIC ABOUT 'THE ROAD'
NO DEFINITIVE ACTION has yet been taken on the proposed
Stadium Way extension, but we are still hopeful it will not be
built. As of now, the Recreation and Parks Commission has unani-
mously requested the Board of Public Works to return the land and
has asked the City Council to approve the transfer by ordinance.
DUE TO OPPOSITION fJ:'om Councilman Paul Lamport and Mayor
Yorty, the Cultural Herita.ze Board has deferJ:>ed action on declar-
ing the palm trees a cultural monument, as requested by Councilman
Marvin Braude. Lamport told the Board that he would fight such a
proposal if it comes before City Council. Ominously, he r.aid he
didn't want to buck a cultural monument for any future
development" project in the park! In-passing, he added that be
pays little attention to the Citizens Committee (as if we didn't
know!).
HAZARD PARK HOUSE-PARTY
THE HAZARD PARK Ass'n, battling against heavy odds to save
Hazard Park, is holding a house-party to raise funds for legal and
other expenses Saturday, Dec. 3, at 8:30 p.m., at the home of
Lyman Paine, 2331 Holgate SquaJ:>e, one block north of Lincoln High
School. Phone: 222-9291. A Leo Politi original will be raffled.
