Just Wonderin’
] Wonder about, candidates
And all their curious ways,
* And I shall watch them carefully
Through these campaigning days;
And when one raves and rants and shouts
And finds all other men at fault,
I'll take the heated words he speaks
With the proverbial grain of salt.
If Thomas Paine were in the world today, he
would probably write a book titled, “The Age Of
Unreason” and give us all the answers; but he is not
‘with us, so it is we who must try to separate the grain
from the chaff as the tumultuous winds ofcampaign oratory swirl about us.
_ Once again we are about to be bethumped by
“words; we shall hear “great arguments about it and
about,” and if the coming campaign proves to be as
nauseating as’ most former presidential campaigns have
been, there will be no lack of impassioned oratory,
diatribes, harangues, name calling and _ reputation
‘wrecking. All of this will tend to leave the voter bewildered and confused. Flow may .we prepare for the
onslaught?
A great poet once said, “men may rise on
‘stepping stones of their dead selves to higher things,
“and that indeed is true; but no good man and true,
can lift himself heavenward by using his living fellow
“men as stepping stones. Let’s remember that fact
when the name calling begins and repudiate the candidate who resorts to cheap political trickery in order
to win votes at any cost.
If ever in the history of mankind, the victor
needed the inspiration of calm and reasonable arguments, it is now; but“our leaders seem to be in a
conspiracy to frighten and bemuse us and there are
few among them who give us the explanations of
national and domestic issues to which we are entitled.
Let's refuse to be bemused, frightened or won over
against our own better judgement.
Our domestic affairs should receive much earnest
consideration before we cast our ballots; let us then
by all means, try to understand the needs of people
beyond the seas, but let us also remember the needs (Please Turn to Page 4)

CELEBRATION —
Editor, The Nugget
Dear Sir: *
There has, I am fo
been considerable discussion regarding a recently printed article
in which I suggested, not a complete. program for our July 4th
celebration but certain features
for this~ celebration—features
would, or could, be maintained at
little or no cost as features of any
and every celebration held in this
town during the centennial years,
and@ which would remain in place
as an attraction for, and the information of, tourists visiting this
town. I take this opportunity *to
clarify evident misconceptions of
my proposed plan.
While we should, perhaps: not
necessarily be entirely guided by
the ativice of the State Centennial
Commission in planning our local
program, it is to me obvious that
we should give due consideration
to such advice.
In an address by Joseph R:
Knowland, Chairman of the State
Centennial Commission. at a
meeting of the Nevada County
Historical Society, held at Indian
Mountain Ranch Resort, October
17, 1947, Mr. Knowland emphasized that centennia] celebrations
were not intended as “fandangle
affairs,” and he stated that the
Commission was. not inclined to
aid purely amusement projects.
From a letter recently received
by: me from one conversant with
the plans of this Commission I
quote: “It is sad, but I suppose a
certain amount .of hurdy-gurdy
spirit in the celebration is .unavoidable. I was (my correspondent wrote) at the December meeting of the Commission in Los
Angeles and Mr. Knowland
stressed the fact that as much as
possible it was to be eliminated.”
My contention, since becoming
a member of the Nevada County
Historical Society has been that
“fandangle”’ and “hurdy-gurdy’
features should, insofar as possible, be eliminated from all activities of this’ society and that
such activities shall stress accurate recording and_ presentation
of events and places of historical
interest rather than social affairs.
I do not need to be reminded
that our 4th of July celebration is
not necessarily a centennial celebration, but our. Independence
Day observance may well emphasize the celebration of the ninetyeighth anniversary of Independence. Day to be held in this town.
We can in 1950 make more adequate provisions for the centennial of our first Independence
Day. I have not presumed to suggest that our 4th of July celebration this year be confined to the
plans outlined in my article in the
UNION of March 9th. In this. article I proposed ~ some _ essential
features in this celebration.
I fully agree that if my suggestions are accepted we will still
need some vehicle to which we
ean give superior California publicity in the nature of the Grass
informed, .
HP-DAVIS AMPLIFIES
SUGGESTIONS FOR CENTENNIAL
Valley Calvacade of a year ago.
If the Calvacade becomes the feature celebration attraction each
centennial year, and each town
does its individual best to “show
off what it has,” my suggested
program provides the most effective means for the showing of
what we have and demonstrating
that. we have certain features of
historic signficance not possessed
by any other town in Cglifornia.
A ‘Calvacade might be most
effectively reviewed from the information booth at, or adjacent
to, the large sign map proposed
in my plan, and from the upper
veranda of the National Hotel
across Broad Street from the site
of the proposed.sign. The information booth could serve, as suggested in-my-article of March 9
as the administrative center of
the celebration
I have offered my suggestions
and I stand ready to provide—
gratis:
1. The use of a large sign
board of a greatly enlarged presentation of my copyright historical map of Nevada City.
2. A list of historic sites
this town.
3. Wording for such markers
as may be set up at such_ sites.
4. The text of brief descriptive
photographs about such sites,
each numbered to correspond with
numbers on the map, and to be
printed on leaflets for free distribution at ‘the information booth.
5. Historical notes for the provision of demonstrations of ways
and means in use by the miners
of 1850-51 to recover gold from
the auriferous gravel of Little
Deer Creek, by the installation
and operation of replicas of instruments actually employed on
this very ground by more than
1000 men in ’50-’51. Zs
6. To assist, with sketches and
accurate detailed specifications,
in the construction of such instruments.
7. To assist in the planning
and setting up .of a satisfacory
replica of Caldwell’s Upper Store
in the park along Little Deer
Creek. This, in addition to giving
a reasonably accurate replica of
this little store, the first in this
township, might well be utilized
as an information booth and the
center of the celebration activities in this particular area.
I also suggest that, if my plan
foy the Little Deer Creek feature
is adopted, provision be made for
a bus or buses to make scheduled
trips from the Plaza in town to
the park and possibly round trips
to the sites of historic interest
in the town.
I do not, presume to suggest
plans for your Calvacade or for
other entertainments. I do, however stand ready to consult with
and give.details of my proposed
plan to any authorized committee or any individual authorized
by such committee.
Yours very truly,
H. P. Davis
