We had a DPS MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING at our house on October 24. In addition to all committee members, Parker Severson was present. Business accomplished was as follows: (1) We planned the Wheeler Peak program for Green's Cafeteria on December 6. (2) We agreed to appoint a Nominating Committee to bring in a slate of willing nominees for 1958 DPS offices at our Annual Meeting on December 6. The Balsams subsequently accepted this responsibility. (3) We planned a new edition of the Guide to the Desert Peaks of the Southwest. I can report that it will cost us $500-$600 to bring out a lithographed edition. This would be a simplified version of the State Scenic Guides written by our member, Weldon Heald. PERSONALS: Please correct the last-name spelling of Harry and Siina Melts, new members welcomed in the last Newsletter. Lloyd and Rosie Balsam have moved into their new home at 913 Kenter Way, L. A. 49, GRanite 2-2031. Congratulations and good luck in completing the electrical work and painting, which they personally are doing. We welcome Jim Foran back from two years' Navy service.

				Hail and farewell! Desert Peaks Chairman
