Last Saturday was another beautiful sunny day. About 250 of us gathered at Waller Creek to plant some trees, clean the place up and shore up the banks with rocks and logs.

Plant is mainly responsible for raising Led Zeppelin above such groups as Cream, Procol Harum...

Page amuses himself by playing his guitar...

With one plant in Spain, Westinghouse is negotiating for another in Belgium as part of an effort to form a $1 billion-a-year electrical equipment combine on the Continent. Last year the De Gaulle government prevented Westinghouse from buying Jeumont-Schneider of France, a key company in the consolidation plan, but Westinghouse hopes for a friendlier decision from Pompidou...
