ARERR NELBen s63 B— Nevada City-Grass Valley Nugget, January 6, 1949 Gold Digger’s Trail(Continued from Page 2) ordered an excellent dinner—the first good meal . had had in months—and went to bed. . Next morning, when I awoke, there was a very polite little note from Ratti, asking me if I could spare the time to come over to his store. When . went in this time, everybody treated me with marked courtesy, bowing and scraping all over the place. The Casa Grace had ordered Ratti to deliver to me one hundred Peruvian pounds—about five hundred dollars in our coin. In spite of my ragged overalls, I was established as a man of substance. Two hours later came a wire from Lomellini, up the other way, in Cuzco. Did not . receive any letter from you and had no idea you needed anything. If you need money, command us immediately.”’ It was no longer necessary to “command,” however. ‘! After two days spent waiting fora train in Juliaca, _during which Brother Ratti requested me to consider “his home my own, . took the train to Arequipa, still unshaven and unshorn, and ragged. There was no barber~inJuliaca sufficiently sanitary to“entrust my face to. . had seen too many. natives go in with scabs and sores on their faces, and there was not even any effort to cleanse the razors between shaves. Arriving on a Sunday night at Arequipa, I found that the next week was Carnival Week, and no stores at all were open. And no train out for another-three days. But there was a good hotel, and I needed rest and food—as . said before, I had dropped nearly sixty pounds weight on my trip into the mountains, and before, on my way to Cuzco. On a bright Wednesday morning, I walked down to the railway depot. It was filled with Peruvian army officers and their wives, well-dressed civlians and others, on their way down to the coast for the holidays which everyone takes in Carnival Week, which lasts a fortnight, by the way. The peons all had their separate waiting rooms and travelled in third class coaches. Behind the first class coaches was a glorified chair car called the “‘coche salon’’ and the price of riding in it required the payment of a double fare. The only occupant was a lady, fair, fat and forty, who! learned later was a Contessa something or other. She was the sister of the manager of the road. __ The Peruvians gazed at me superciliously, thinking that I was just another renegade Gringo, obviously, and shying'away from my ragged and not too prepossessing self. . was clean, however, having found a hotel with a shower bath in it and having luxuriated in the same for three days. But not shaved, because all the sanitary barber shops, such as they were, remained closed in carnival time. And I could buy no new clothes for the same reason. -> So when the train whistled to devatt hae: Mollendo, on the coast, there was considerable \interest among my well-dressed friends when they discovered that the only occupants: of the “coche salon’’ were the aforesaid Contessa and a ragged Gringo in overalls. All day long, you could see them coming to the car door to take a look. (i be continued) ~ WOODLEAF UNIT . (Continued: from page 1) gions whether or not they were immediately affected.

I thought that appellation went out of style about ten years ago, but someone spoke of me the other day as an old maid. UNMARRIED—THIRTY. Tenn. Answer: : An old maid—is—a—prissy,—narnow-minded person of any age from twelve to sixty, married or unmarried. At least, that is my private opinion, Some of the worst old maids I have ever known were married women — those holierthan-thou kind—who expect little children to be angels and expect the worst of other women and men. But .some of the unmarried women of my acquaintance, who ére well on their way toward the the half century mark, could not, Hal Roach, who for more than thirty years has been a producer in Hollywood, has begun the first of a series of television productions and, from now on says Roach, all his work will go into the television field.

The announcement that Lila Minnelli, all of two and a half years of age, had made her screen debut, did not create even a small ripple until it was revealed that her mother was Judy Garland.Liza’s first screen opportun‘ity came when M. G. M. asked Judy if Liza could play a small LOUISA. Dear Louisa: ; I am going with a very fine boy but my parents refuse to believe that he is anything but a rowdy because all of the men in his‘ family have a bad: name about getting drunk and mis-. part in “Annie Get Your Gun.” behaving. Judy consented, but then “The 8 Good . Old. Summertime’ was This boy hates all much as I do, and has behaved like a_ perfect man We are both old enough to get married but my parents are trying to break us up although the boy has a good job.

Story,’’ followed by ‘“’Till the Clouds Roll By,’’ Duel in the Sun” nd, tied for fifth place, “I Wonder Who’s Kissing Her Now” and “The Bells of .St. Mary’s.’’ It is always well to look at a boy or girl’s family before you marry into that family. As RL, usual thing, you can get a good picture of the kind of wife or husband.you will get by looking at your intended’s father or mother. I say;.as @.usual thing, but this does not always hold true. Occasionally in a family of nogoods. there will be-one or two ffine girls or boys who, instead of following in the footsteps—ot these erring elders, bend eyery effort to be different from them. Some of the finest men and women have come from apparently very. poor stock. Some of the people who have done. the most for humanity and for their own families were reared in poverty and had absolutely no’ background, So we do wrong to condemn a young man because of the behavior \of his family. If, in spite of their examples, he has behaved himselfy and done the best he could, he sould be accorded more praise and consideration than the boy who has no such handicaps. I don’t think you will be wrong in sticking to such a young man. Good luck to you. LOUISA.
