Mrs. Edmund G. Brown, wife of the governor, will make history for Hermosa Beach on Friday, June 3, when she greets Beach residents at Hermosa Valley Park. This will mark the first visit of a California first lady in the city's history. A public reception is planned, starting at 10:30 a.m. with an art show sponsored by the South Bay Arts Association. At ceremonies starting at 11:30 a.m., Mrs. Brown will make presentations to the Arts Association, to the Hermosa Beach Friends of the Library and dedicate a California native sycamore at the new Theodore Payne memorial gardens in Valley Park.
The park is named in memory of the late Theodore Payne who is responsible for preserving fast disappearing California native plants, according to Mrs. Gordon Evans, Hermosa Beach Garden Club. The late Mr. Payne who is the top specialist in California native plants helped landscape architect Arthur Barton make the plans for the Hermosa native gardens, and visited the site twice before his death in 1964.
Four high school winners of this year's South Bay Arts Association scholarships will be on hand when Mrs. Brown presents an addition to the scholarship fund. They are Daveda Felix, Mira Costa high school; Mary White, Redondo, Marylyn Clifford of Aviation and Randy Romero of Pacific Shores. more

Their prize winning paintings will be on display at the park with the works of SBAA members. Robert Fagenstrom, president of the arts association, will accept the check from Mrs. Brown.
Also on display will be a copy of the original incorporation papers of the Hermosa Beach Land and Water Company, courtesy of Friends of the Library. In addition, the Friends will make a gift of Seaguide by Leland Lewis, to readers of Hermosa Beach. This will be autographed and presented by Mrs. Brown.
The brief ceremonies will conclude with a short history of the development of the Hermosa native planting area by Hermosa Beach Garden Club president Mrs. David Fields, after which Mrs. Brown will dedicate the new tree and plant it. Public reception will begin immediately thereafter.
Refreshments will be served through the courtesy of the Garden Club and the Hermosa Beach Chamber of Commerce.
