~~ Serving Nevada City and Grass Valley ‘Nevada City Nugget Gateway to a Recreation Paradise 17 Nevada City (Nevada County) California, Friday, April 28, 1950 Subscription, Year $2.50; Single Copy 5c Twenty-Third Year. — No. YY Lx, Vide Ge Yj Vookin gy 4 Yy Wl litty, Y, Probably every infantryman who saw ‘service overseas in the Tast war came home with a fixed determination to someday own a jeep. The powerful little fourwheel-drive vehicles did such a trustworthy job -in transporting am army under difficult conditions that the jeep became generally known as the bus that can do anything. A year ago, about the time I acquired a CJ3A, I joined a widely ballyhooed jeep trek over the historic De Anza trail in Riverside and Imperial counties. The trek was sponsored’ by the Hemet chamber of commerce to call attention to the need for a highway traversing some _ ragged mountains down into Borrego valley. The publicity invited anybody with a four-wheel-drive to join the caravan, pointing out that the route was plenty rugged. More than 200 jeeps, complete with drivers and bedrolls, showed up for the event. All day Saturday the jeeps streamed through the hills, down precipitous slopes, along the rocky bed of a stream, through heavy sand and brush. With the exception of a drunk who buried his radiator in a barranca, all the adventurers showed up for the barbecue on the desert in the evening. It was a trip packed with fun for those who like to get off the beaten path. The other day Dow Alexander, the rug cleaning man with the broad shoulders, was telling me what marvels he had accomplished with the aid of his little jeep. So of course I told him about the Hemet-Borrego trek. Together we got steamed up about the possibilities of promoting a Donner Trail Jeep Trek in this part of the country. . In a couple of days six men met and discussed the potential publicity value of a trek in Nevada county. Howard Smith of the forestry service gave us some good pointers about the terrain along parts of the old emigrant trails and especially the interesting spots on the historic Donner route. Recognizing that there is a growing resentment against jeepsters among fishermen who can not get used to seeing automobiles in the most isolated backcountry, we have discussed a caravan which will preserve public good will and still provide the fun and publicity we want. We have laid the ground work for a late-summer trek. We were amazed to learn that . there are over 800 jeeps’ in Nevada and Sierra counties. If we got publicity in all the foothill and valley towns we might have . many hundred jeeps on _ our hands for a2 weekend. But if the jeep drivers are introduced to the scenic beauty of our forests and mountains and have the thrill of seeing some of the landmarks of historic century-old trails, they would spread the word to hundreds of other potential vacationists and tourists. If Dow continues with his coordination of scouting the routes, planning the itinerary, and arranging publicity and facilities, the Donner Trail Jeep’ Trek may become reality. Believe it or not, this column isn’ta commercial for WillysOverland. It’s written by a jeep enthusiast who can’t resist the temptation to brag about his mule-on-wheels . . . and a newspaperman who recognizes huge potential value to his community of any publicity stunt which will bring wholesome satisfaction to a lot of potential friends. REMODELLING Milton’s Cosfectionery was not open for business yesterday while remodeling of one window was underway for installation. of a sidewalk dispenser of ‘frosties” and ice cream and other products. s OVER 200 PUPILS PARTICIPATE IN MUSIC FESTIVAL Over 200-pupils participated in the annual spring concert of the Nevada City unified school district held Wednesday evening at ; the Nevada City high school auditorium. !

CUTBACK IN POSTAL SERVICE STARTED Trial runs in cutback postal delivery. service were made here Wednesday and_ yesterday in compliance with a directive from the postmaster general as a result of reduced appropriations to the postal department. Postmaster William Wasley declared the new schedules will undoubtedly slow up mail service and only possible remedy appears to be a flood of protesting letters to congressmen. Wasley said under the directive Nevada City will lose one city carrier and one sorting clerk. The curtailment will mean that the city will have one delivery a day instead of twice daily as has been enjoyed. Wasley said it will. mean that some patrons will receive mail four hours later than at present. When asked about a post card that was delivered in Grass Valley 27 years after it was postmarked from Nevada City, Wasley said any -such-delay could not be the fault of the local post office which has only been in its present location since 1944. The card was the work of a prankster was Wasley’s only solution.
