From eleven-year-old girl scouts to Radcliffe and Simmons College bobby-soxers, the girls had turned out in strength to see conductor-soloist Leonard Bernstein lead the Boston Symphony Orchestra in a rehearsal...
After years of study, the Los Angeles County Flood Control District finally decided to try an experiment. Last year its engineers pumped 100 million gallons of fresh water into the salted gravel under Manhattan Beach. Observation wells drilled alongside showed that the fresh water did not mix much with the salt, but forced it away, forming a mound of freshwater gravel. The sea water still seeped inland around the mound, like a stream flowing around a rock, but at that one point it was stopped...
...Flood Control District is drilling a line of twelve-inch "injection wells" 1,000 ft. apart and parallel to the beach. When fresh water is forced into the wells, it will form a dike of saturated gravel that will keep the sea water from entering the pumped-out basin. Gierlich hopes that the basin will eventually be filled to above sea level by the natural seepage of mountain water. Then the sea will no longer try to invade it. The industries and the people who depend on west basin water will never be able...
