Arnold Seated as New State Senator
January 20th, 1956
Stanley Arnold of Susanville became the new state senator today, representing Modoc, Plumas and Lassen counties. With Arnold at the ceremonies are his wife Almida, and his son Stanley D. Arnold. Arnold, a Democrat, was elected in a special election to succeed the late Dale C. Williams, also a Democrat of Modoc County.
One of Arnold's first acts was to issue a statement calling for "speedy and effective action on California's serious water problem." Arnold in his statement said that "the recent disastrous floods were further conclusive proof that California cannot afford to waste time talking on the subject of water. Just a few critical dams would have saved scores of lives and untold millions of dollars in damage."
The new state senator said that the damming of the Feather River, both at Oroville and in the Upper Feather River Basin, should be one of the focal points of action. "Let us make some effort to turn this tragedy to our advantage by pressing for immediate action on water while the ravages of the recent floods are still firmly planted in the public's mind," Arnold declared. Arnold said he hoped to convey these thoughts to Governor Goodwin J. Knight at the first opportunity.
