In his article entitled, "Récreation Our Most Promising Industry, " Lunardi states, "The aesthetic and cultural values of our history will slowly vanish unless the State of California promptly takes the leadership, and recognizes this field in thier master planning, along with proper planning for highways, water resource development, and other public works projects." Lunardi further envisions 'a fourth major state planning program, for the-.preservation of historic values in all parts of California, "andhe has aimed legislation toward that end. .

In other words, a state plan could immeasurably help planning on the county and local levels. We commend Lunardi's foresight in pursuing this imaginative program. As a legislator, we might'add, Lunardi has repeatedly shown himself to be aware ofthe problems of his district, and ready to take legislative action where necessary.
