Mr. Milhein�. referred to the contribution of the local group to the i commu;zity in providing beauty care to women confined in hospitals and convalescent homes, their cooperation with the ; schools in providing speakers on proper grooming, and their assistance in the recent Kidney Foundation fund drive. Mr. i Milh.em said that it is important at the state and national ��-� ' level for the group to receive local recognition. � Mayor Moty said that in the past he has opposed the issuance of proclamations unles s they are peculiar to the City of Reddi ng only, it being his feeling that it is redundan.t to have a proclamation issued by the City if such proclamation is also issued at the state and national level.

Mr. Milhem_ agreed to do this and the matter will be brought before Council at a subsequent meeting.
