AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENTS OF EVERY
CIVIC ORGANIZATION IN NEVADA CITY
Dear Mr. and Mrs. President:
The idea, first voiced by the Nugget, of PLANTING
200 SUGAR MAPLE TREES next Arbor Day is catching on.
Much comment, all of it favorable, has come ‘to the Nugget
on this plan.
Think of it—instead of the occasional bright fall spots
of color that attracts occasional artists and beauty lovers already— ina few years, the whole town bursting into a glorious
blaze of brilliant shades of yellow and scarlet every autumn.
People will come from down below, from every part of Cali. , the Sierras!
fornia and even from other states—we'll become famous: as
West Coast beauty spot!Everyone. who thinks about it is for it.
who loves Nevada City thinks about it.
And everyone
At your next meeting, please discuss the matter. See how
much interest in the project there is on the part of your members: If we are going to take this step toward REALLY PUTTING NEVADA CITY ON THE MAP AS ONE OF THE
BEAUTY SPOTS OF CALIFORNIA, now is the time to get
busy.
The Gillet Sisters informs us that, THE MAPLES CAN
BE SECURED: ome are on hand and available now. But in
order to plant the full number, we'll have to start now, so that
the trees may be available on Arbor Day.
There's the idea—out on the table, the very sort of thing
ot bring credit to our town and to our civic orgnization. The
type of promotional activity they were created to develope.
PML. Yours for a greater and more beautiful city.

PRODUCTION! PRODUCTION!
Why wouldn't is be a good idea for every factory, at the
end of the day, just to divide up the day’s production—so
much to each ek: so much to management, a little to
the owners for making the factory possible.
You wouldn't have any obsolete equipment or methods
very long—owners and managers would get the finest, so that
production would be greater. And you wouldn't have any
slow-downs by the workmen, no loitering on the job, nor limits set on output—the workmen would want more efficient
at the end of the day to divide.
“‘But—that is the way workmen and managers and owners are paid. The only difference is that the company sells
their production and divides up the money, to make it more
convenient. The fact still remains that the only way anyone
is going to gét more is to produce more. That's the only. place
from which it can come.—Contributed.

hb ‘Grass Valley is where the Smiths’
and Browns’ and Jones’ are numershould explain highgrading, mmuckstick and pasty. Grass Valley “is
‘where its main street is Mill, “Dow
below’ doesn’t mean a firey eters
nity but the Mountaineer’s term*~ for
the ‘‘city.’’ Grass Valley that has at
least two ex-millionaires who today
work for, their daily bread even as
you and s¢ Grass Valley—that has
more glorious singing voiceg per
capita than any town in the country. Grass Valley whose second theatre is named after a king’s mistress.
Grass Valley—full of characters,
like the one who never forgot’ somebody in need at Christmas time but
whose profession kept her socially
inferior. Grass Valley—queen city
To have a special election or not
to have a special election—that 1s
the question. The resignation of
Jerrold Seawell to aecept his election to the Board of Equalization,
has created a vacancy in this -district for a seat in the State Senate.
Before a special election could be
called the session of the legislature
‘would probably be over. Most county
officials are opposed to a_ special
election because the estimated cost
inNevada County would approximate
$3000. Yet should important matters come up this area would be
without a vote. Many people feel
that Jesse Mayo who used to be our
assemblyman will look out for our
interests in the senate although he
represents another section. Then too
if “Scoop’” Thurman is elected .o
the senate, his assembly seat would
be vacant and the whole machinery
would have to‘be set in gear again
to fill that job. What do you think?
Who will be the first from heaven
in 747?
The author of this column for no
good reason at all is going to start
a $5 bank account for the first baby
born after midnight in Grass Valley
this new year. If its twins $10 will
be donated. But thats as far as
we'll go. My funds are limited and for
all I know a potential Dionne is hovering’ neat the maternity ward. But
‘proviite thé timing and I'll provide
‘the $5. There is absolutely no obiigation to ‘name the newcomer “Nug.

you INCREASE my profits.

that you cannot afford to owe any-body else too.
