Barton Flats Scout Camp Planned for Long Beach Youth
The Barton Flats tract in the San Bernardino Mountains is eyed for development into a premier Long Beach Scout camping site. The plan preserves forest cover and primitive camp sites while adding headquarters, water systems, sanitation, and partial development. Funds will be needed, with major gifts likely to bridge the $225,000 purchase price and development costs. Scout leaders will tour the site, discuss progress, and host a dinner at Camp Angelus to advance plans.

Long Beach police found an 11 year old boy and his 8 year old sister after a two night run from home ending at Nu Pike amusements in Long Beach. They had spent $12 from home during a weekend spree and were later taken to Garden Grove Police who placed them in a receiving home pending a probation hearing.
