Reservations should be made to D. C. Essley, 909 South Atlantic Boulevard, Los Angeles 22, California. Mr. Essley is general chairman of the entire convention, and no better man for the job could be found on land or sea. Let him know the type of accommodations you desire, the date of your arrival in Los Angeles, the time of day you expect to arrive, the number of people in your party and their individual flames, and the time you plan to leave.
