Sergeant Outranks Husband at Home
Airman Horace Stovall, an Air Force sergeant, is outranked by his wife Dana Stovell in uniform, with four stripes to his three. Despite seniority at work, at their Long Beach home she serves as the superior in dress and order, a dynamic the couple notes contrasts with military life. Dora, Dana’s sister, and the photographer observed the breakfast in bed scene at 477 South Stear as proof of the home front distinction.

Plaza Urges Completion of Foot Span
Lakewood Plaza Citizens Improvement Association presses the county to finish a footbridge over a drainage ditch near Palo Verde Ave and Willow St where a boy drowned. A 100 foot fenced walkway outside homes, a pedestrian path, and annexation disputes delay the project. County district officials refuse to extend fencing westward. Road Commissioner Kennedy suggests redirecting 2300 dollars to Long Beach for the work. Association quotes Supervisor Lex ordering the county to proceed with the garnering of the annexation, effective the first week of May.
