/ One of the things talked about in Avalon
is the yearly waste of nutritious fish Dur
ing the month of August, especially when
the season is at its height and the fish
even more plentiful than usual, it is esti-
mated that nearly 1000 pounds of excellent
fish is daily dumped into the ocean for lack
of consumers. 1t has been suggested that
it would add to the true sportsman S
pleasure in catching his fish, as well as be
the truest form of practical charity, II
this almost sinful waste could be utilized
for the benefit of the charitable institutions
in Los Angeles. The expense would not be
great, and if some persons of response
biity would take the matter up ii seems
feasible.
The entertainment and ball givn by the
N. S. G. w. at the pavilion on Saturday
next promises to be a society and finan
cial success. There are several thousand
visitors in Avalon and the pavilion, largo
as it is will probably be taxed to its ut
most capcity.
