The Social Security advisory
council will meet Oct. 81 to consider
amendments tentatively drafted by

include application of the act to
farm laborers and others. The
remaining six points of the boards
program are as follows:

of insured persons dying before
reaching retirement age, 65.

Urge Attendance
At San DiegoFair
Anza State Park Plans
Also Discussed by
Directors Here

In a session devoted to dis
cussion of varying interests
of the Ell Centro' Chamber of
Commerce, directors of that
organization w e d n e S d a y
night laid particular stress upon
their wish to send large delega-
ton from here to Del Mar Sunday,
which will be Imperial Valley Day
at the San Diego county fair.
Several directors indicated they
will join motorcade to the fair,
and President H. r. Anderson is
sued an invitation to all residents
of Ell Centre to participate.
Other matters considered by the
directors included discussion of a
move made in San Diego to defeat
establishment of ANA Desert State
park, the 100000 acres extending
from the mountains in San Diego
county across the desert to Point
of Rocks at the Riverside county
line and thence to Salton Sea.
Directors said certain interests
in San Diego are jealous of the
possibility of Ell Centro developing
into winter resort attracting Wis
itors and winter time residents.
The park question was referred to
the ANA park committee composed
of w. A. Tondro, chairman; Hugh
T. Osborne, Randall Henderson. H.
l.. Bush, and Harry R. Burton. If
necessary the committee was in
structed to meet with the state
park commission to urge immediate
acquisition of the park land. The
land in the park all is arid, direc-
tors pointed out, and belongs to
the United States government.

board has prepared a seven point
amendment program for expansion

There has been no public esti-

an amendment for:
