Recreation Unit Eyes Quarters in Utilities Building
The Long Beach Recreation Commission seeks space in the Municipal Utilities Building after the Water Department moves out next spring. City Manager Sam E. Vickers will decide which department gets the vacated floor as recreation officials anticipate congestion during nearby Exhibit Hall construction. The board also approved a free November dance for seniors, a water safety and recreation festival at Marine Stadium in late April, and denied a Heartwell Park golf drive event citing safety concerns.

DeHaven to Join L B Destroyers
The USS DeHaven, first of four destroyers rehabilitated in San Francisco, is set to join Destroyer Squadron Nine at Long Beach Naval Station. Commanded by Capt. W. Calhoun Singletary, it has a crew of 14 officers and 200 enlisted men and underwent a seven month, four million dollar refit adding torpedo tubes, a helicopter hangar, depth sonar, upgraded electronics, and a larger superstructure. Its dedication follows open house events and the opening of a new 55,000 square foot facility replacing Pier A. The ship carries a helicopter and drone helicopter program advancing to flight operations with the carrier. The DeHaven’s service and facility dedication reflect postwar naval modernization efforts in California.
