Royal Pools referral dispute and mission prints inquiry
In September 1968 a Royal Pools Inc referral offer promised a $75 bond for referrals that resulted in four-pool sales. A customer learned the referrer only received $50, and the firm says the card must be submitted before the sale by the referrer, not the buyer. Prints of California missions are available from the county Museum of Natural History, Los Angeles. Also a Long Beach reader reports a food stamp authorization delay due to record transfer, with December cards expected after DPSS coordination.

A junior transfer deluge worsens an enrollment crisis while freshmen and sophomores fall. A special task force will study impacts and options. An emergency 15 per student fee was approved to cover debts if student bodies fail to meet obligations.
