counties discussed the proposal
and means of achieving its re
alization.
The official positions of both
the University and the Loma
Linda Chamber of Commerce
remain carefully neutral amid
growing pressure from veter
ans groups and less vocal op
position from some others.
Redlands American Legion
Post 106, which endorsed the
idea of a Veterans Administra
tion hospital at Loma Linda
last October, hosted the meet
ing of veterans' leaders from
the two counties. Post Com
mander Royce Zeek said he ex
pects formation of a district
committee to push for a 1000-
bed federal hospital to serve
southern California's inland
counties.
Seek Concerted Action
The Legion's district com
mander, Eugene Chisam of On
tario, said he would join rep
resentatives of other organiza

paign committee. Joining in a
call for unified action by veter
ans and community organiza
tions were John E. Larimer,
district commander of the Vet
erans of Foreign Wars, and
William T. Abney, district ad
jutant of the Disabled Ameri

district within the county
that administers Loma Linda's
local government affairs, the
University reportedly expressed
willingness to negotiate sale of
35 acres of land suitable for
park use. The tract is east of
Anderson St. between the rail
road tracks and Loma Linda
Sanitarium and Hospital.
Exploratory Planning Stage
A sketch of the preliminary
development plan, suggesting a
two- acre lake, ball fields, picnic
areas and parking lots, has
been prepared at the request
of the County Service Area
board of directors by Peter
Dangermond Jr., planning
technician for the county plan
ning department.
At its December meeting the
Chamber of Commerce voted
to recommend " that the Coun
ty Service Area act to estab
lish in Loma Linda a park
with water conservation fea
tures for public funds, and that
the park be of minimum size
to begin with, with provision
for enlargement as future con
ditions dictate."
Service Area directors sug
gested that the lake might first
be installed, to be f ollowed later
by recreational facilities.
