The meeting was attend ed by several local citizens, includ ing town and county officials and representatives of industry and the Brevard Chamber of Commerce.

The solution or partial so j iutirns which may fit one case will 1 not fit another,” the Olin Mathie son executive explained. Mr. Brownell told the committee, however, “Just because the prob lems are difficult, does not mean : ’nut we have not worked and will j not work toward finding answers”.
