Scuba class ends with first Gulf Island dive in Santa Monica
A four week YMCA scuba course wrapped with a first dive at Gull Island off Santa Monica. Nine students paid 45 dollars each for basic certification as they learned safety rules, buoyancy, and underwater etiquette. Warned of sharks and venomous fish, they practiced in a heated pool before braving open water and kelp beds, guided by instructor staff.

More Jews leaving for better life in Israel
Soviet Jewish emigrants in Israel increasingly abandon plans for permanent settlement. Despite large arrivals in 1972 and 1973, many dropouts seek Canada, the United States, or Western Europe, citing Sabbath closures, bureaucracy, and Orthodox influence as push factors. Absorption officials note the trend and emphasize improving local conditions to deter departures.

Bonn Life Inside a Slow Capital Amid Rising Costs
A rushed, impressionistic travelogue notes Bonn as provincial and sleepy with high living costs and a mix of charm. It contrasts cheap living and welcoming streets with rising prices, while praising local customs and Rhine views, near an extinct volcanic crater. It ends with a UK society blurb about Susan Eatwell becoming Mrs Dowglas Burpitt.
