WPA WORK IN
NEVADA COUNTY
IS REVIEWED
prising results of six months operation of the Works Progress Administration program in Nevada County were apparent_today as District
Director Gene Kenyon reported ex~pednitures of $66,507 and performance of 147,467 hours of labor since
the program’ was started by WPA
employes, all of them County residents.
Approximately 80 per cent of total expednitures have gone for labor
and a large share of materials and
supplfes have been purchased locally, Kenyon said in emphasizing
that the WPA program has given
business a realimpetus while providing useful employment for: persons who otherwise would have been
idle and dependent upon relief
“Improvement of miles of road;
construction, alteration and repair.
of a number of public buildings;
necessary irrigation and sewer work
and improvement of public grounds
have provided the basis for operation of a majority of projects in
Nevada County,’’ said Kenyon.
“We have accomplished our first
objective of providing jobs for all
eligible for WPA employment. At
the same time we have been able to
do work which was necessary and
will prove of lasting value and wil:
be reflected in community life for
years to come.”
To date, WPA expenditures for
road and street. dannrovettents have
totaled $23,795 with 63,5428 hours
worked. These improvements have
ineluded excavation, clearing, stump
removal, installation of culverts,
drainage, wall canstruction, egrading, graveling and oiling on projects including . Banner Mountalu,
Washington, Garden Bar, Edwards
Cross§ng-Granitedille, Maryland-Allison and Red Dog Roads, Nevada

high school were improved at a cost
of $4815 with 9993 hours worked
and Columbus school in Grass Valley received similar improvements
at a cost of $1852 with 9883 hours

AIRPLANE CONTRACTS
The Forest Service announces
that contracts for airplane patral
for the national forests of California
have been let for the season of 1936
to the Duck Air Service, Oakland for
the C&lifornia forests; Schneider Air
Service, Fresno for the central Sierra
forests, and to Dan T. Moran, Monrovia for jthe southern (jGalifornia
forests.
Last year forest officers acting as
observers spent 151 hours in the air
scouting the spread of forest fires
and directing the ground forces in
the control of large fires.
Experiments are being carried on
by the Forest Service in the use of
airplanes for actual fire combat by
the use of chemical bombs and water
directed on small fires to retard the
spread until ground fire fighting
crews arrive. The most striking development is that of a new ultra
short wave radio of extremely light
weight for use on airplanes, In recent tests, foresters on the ground
talked with observers in the air at
an altitude of several thousand feet.

CALIFORNIA FARM
PRODUCTS AID
GOOD HEALTH
(By RALPH H. TAYLOR)
In grandmother’s day, it was customary to say, “An apple a day
keeps the doctor away!”
In more modern times, the health
properties of scores of farm products have been heralded far and
wife in spectacular ‘and highly effective commodity advertising programs. ;
Sun-Maid Raisin Growers, some
ten years ago, caught public fancy
with the peremptory inquiry “Have
you had your iron today?”
The California prune (ask any exsoldier) is as regular as_ reveille.
Soldiers called them ‘native sons;”
mothers and doctors extol theif. virtures as a natural *regulartor of the
digestive tract.
Equally famous, the orange juice
eye-opener whets the appetite, serves.as a systematic alkalizer and
saves youngsters many trips to the
dentist, with grapefruit juice in the
same category.
More recently, California lemon
growers boosted sales—and helped
combat winter illnesses—with their
quick@acting ad: “Got a cold? Doetors say, Hot Lemonade!”
And today, virtually every branch
of California aggteulture is adver:
tising-the health value of farm products as well as their food value—
with “Eat Your Way to Health”
campaign providing popular and palatable substitutes for many of the
brown pills and evil-tasting liquids
of the old time medicine case.
Although exaggerated ‘claims may
have been made in some instances
for various products, thete is sound
and scientific support for the contention that fully 75 per cent of the
illnesses which now require meditcal
treatment could be eliminated by the
simple expedient of eating healthful
products of the soil—in well-balanced proportion!
Nearly every farm product. grown
in California, for example, has definite curative, preventive, or \ reserve strength properties.
Excellent iron ‘content, which is
becoming increasingly important in
modern day diet, is found in lima
beans, English garden peas, «beet
tops, broccoli leaves, parsley, spinach, turnip tops and, generally
speaking, in all green colored vege.

When two rattle snakes were wriggling
Over your primordial plank,
Heads erect and tails atwitter,
Looking poisonously swank,
Why did you not then and there
Seize a club and slay. the pair?
When you had but two sleek horses
And each horse had but one fly,
Why did you protect the insects
As the dripping days went by?
Why did you not with a swatter
Knock each fly into the water?
When the pair of mice you sheltered .
Gnawed your blankets, quilts and sheets,
Or devoured your winter undies,
Just by way of special treats,
Bits of steel made into traps
Would have stopped those nibbling chaps.
When your two dogs in fine frenzy
Scratched each one his only flea,
You were quite remiss dear Noah,
Leastwise so it seems to me;
Why did you not, if you please
Sprinkle buhach on the fleas? °
Why did you preserve two hornets,
Two red ants, two doodle bugs,
Two of every thing that bites us,
Spoils our food and chews our rugs?
You were daft, it seems to me, —
When you sailed that ancient sea.
Well, perhaps . should not chide you.
When we moderns do the same;
We too harbor noxious insects
To our everlasting shame;
who has taken the property over.

“THREE CORNERED.
MOON’ IS SENIOR
FARCE THURSDAY
"Tis a ‘‘three . porneved moon’’ that
will shine brightly for those. who attend the annual Senior farce this
year to be presented Thursday evening at the Nevada Teatre, when the
members: of a well-chosen cast produce a three-act play by that particular name. And, varying from the
usual: program presented in other
years, the Class of 1936 will present a curtain raiser of the one-act
variety entitled “The Wedding.”
This added attraction not only is an
advantage to the audience, but enables more of the class members to
display their dramatic ability upon
the’ stage.
“Three Cornered Moon’’ was one
of the bright spots of the 1932-33
theatrical season on Broadway. The;
peculiar humor and innate flippancy
of the Rimplegar family, whom this
story concerns, should be a laughprovoker for the most serious of
audiences. The cast for this production is as follows: Mrs. Rimplegar,
Margaret Wyant; Elizabeth, Marjorie Masterson; Kitty, Fern McClure; Jenny, Bonnie Flindt; Ke:
neth, Arthur Elliott; Douglas, -Winton Whitley; Ed. Walter Warnecke;
Donald, Bob Small; Dr. Stevens,
Dick Stevens.
The cast chosen for the one-act
play preceding the main performance will include the following:
Bridegroom, Mervin Doolittle;
bride, Marian Mohr; best man, Morris Roberts; Miss Grayson, Flossie
Angove; Mrs. Teasdale, Cecilia
Woods; Mr. Grayson, Peter Orzalli.
The farce will begin at 8:00 p.
m, and tickets for reserved seats
will be available at Foley’s confectionery on Tuesday morning.

Aside from the fact that they taste
good and serve many direct health
purposes, California fruits — fully
mature, ripened and well colored—
have an important psychological .
value, stimulating digestive secre.
tions through their effect on the
eye. Hence the statement: ‘‘We eat
with our eyes!”’
Ice cream (perhaps the most delightful of farm medicines) is the
ideal diet for fevered stomachs—
usually the first item on the hospital
menu.
And dairy credast as a wholé are.
justly famous for their vitamin content, with the dairymen = claiming
that milk is the most complete and
most healthful of all foods. Cheese,
without doubt, is headed for greater recognition and far greater consumption in the years to come; it is
one of the finest of all concentrated .
foods, taking its place with chocolate as emergency ration diet for
aviators and others requiring food
value'in a minimum of bulk.
“Meat and potatoes’”’ are the staples of ‘‘emipire builders,’ building
muscle and tissue for hard work and
celebrated as a
energy and heat.
For strength, without meat, peas
and beans rank at the top of the
muscle builders.
fruits, especially peaches, are high
in fruit sugar ‘content which is more
easily digestible than cane sugar. If
on the other hand, you need a diet .
almost entirely free of sugar, but
strong in energy, almonds are the
recommended diet. Walnuts, almonds and other nuts are all rich in
vegetable form oils.
And to round out the farm haaith
picture, California orange juice has}
recently been discovered to be an important resistanice agent to the dread
streptoccocei germ.
“Call the farmer—not the doctor!’’? may well become the new slogan of healthful living, although
doctors,
ing habits and other factors, will undoubtedly continue to be a vital necessity to wayward mankind.
