(COZY CORNER CHAT
THE DEPOSING OF THE high
priced manager of the county promotion board by the regents of that
organization does not
promotion ‘of the county’s vast remean that
sources is to be left in the offing
after spending many thousands of
dollars, most of which went for
manager's salary of $300 and expenses each month for some months
past. The board was primarily organized to cdénduct a colonization
campaign but was soon left behind
and other fields of activity entered
into with the result that the organization had a kimono appearance—
ecvering a lot of territory. This
mug¢h can be said of its existence so
far: it developed a lot of good
boost material in its board of regents, men who were willing to
Bive lots of time toward forwarding the county’s interests—in a civic
way. The work of President H. W.
Robinson has been noteworthy in
Many ways for hiszeal, unselfishness and his willingness to put the
county’s best side forward on all
occasions. Nevada county is to consider herself highly complimented
that a man of his ability and civic
consciousness is a resident and a
tax payer.
COMING BACK to the matter of
employng these floater secretaries.
A community which has to depend
on that class to conduct the affairs
of its qivic (organizations is in
Somewhat of a bad way, that is!
towns of medium size at least. The
‘minute a job is landed at a fancy ;
salary, the old bag of tricks is
trotted out to bewilder the natives
in the sticks, and immediately the
stage is being set for the landing :
the next job somewhere else. The
ordinary secretary of that class figures his stock in trade should car-,
ry him about two yeas before he has
_ to move on to fresh pastures. He
cleans up all he can while on the
job. and is not usually a heavy
spender in the community. Any
secretary that comes inté“a community, expecting — and hoping to
make it his home if things work
perform a great service. Nevada
county: needs more settlers, many of
them, not necessarily farmers. The
builders of summer homes. are a
a most desirable class to eater to
as well as retired people of wealth.
Nevada county’se” scenic beauty, its
pine’ clad hills, are an inspiration
to any one who likes to commune
with nature oncein a while. There’s
a restfulnmess about our hills and
valleys and mountains that is entrancing. Its no wonder our people
are so happy and contented with
their’ lot in life. Sometimes we
think they are too contented with
things, but contentment after all is
one of lifé’s greatest blessings. Our
new airport which-we hope will blosSom into actuality will do a great
deal toward making us more accessible to the outer world. Commuting
from Nevada City by air is not as
fanciful as it might appear at first
glance. Let the promotion board
function, along some such lines-and
it will be filling a distinct need.
STREET LIGHTING is a popular
subject right noéw’and as was to
be expected the idea is taking
wherever some citizen thinks it is
going to put one of the duhickeys
in front of his door, otherwise he
might be agin it! .The plan of the
power company has much of merit
to commend it and if some plan of
providing an adequate system for
our business district can be privided let’s have it if it is within iur
Means. The slogan “the first and
best lighted town in the mountains’’
would sound like a progressive
slogan. AAW

ABRAHAM. LINCOLN
By Katherine Parsons
February twelfth marked another
anniversary. of that _ famous man,
Abraham Lincoln. I believe that
‘every man, woman, and. child
should pay tribute to the Savior of
our great Union, at least once a
year, and what more fitting time is
there than his birthday?
His life is well known to everyone. Accounts of his crude schooling and the hard work of his boyhood have been read by all. His lost
love, which nearly caused insanity,
‘and his short career as store keeper,
j have been food for stories for many
; years. From his early manhdod he
. grewinto a well known lawyer and
made himself liked by everyone because — he always had some funny
anecdote or story to tell.
Lincoln was always a dreamer.
He would sit for hours dreaming.
He was also superstitious and believed in dreams, but he made his
dreams a living reality and a goal
for his ambitions. Lincoln was elected to the legislature twice. He married Mary Todd, and she has much
credit due her since it was she
who had a large hand in Lincoln’s
becoming president.
His years as the President of the
United States are «well known to
everyone. His most wonderful act
was his Emancipation Proclamation.
This great man is well worth everyone’s remembrance,
RADIO PROGRAM
Tuesday,. February 11, a radio
was temporarily installed by the
Harris Drug store at the high
school and the student body listened
to a talk on “Borrowing Money”,
by Mr. Monett.
In his talk Mr. Monett told of
the. bank’s attitude toward renewing notes. In answer to a question
as to what would be the consequences if we did not pay our debts,
Mr. Monett said that the result
would mean disgrace for the one
who does not pay. He also said that
-he-bank dees not tend—money to
-nyone unless he has good reasons
or borrowing. :
He said that in stories and in
real life bankers ure thought to be
cruel and hard-hearted. He said the
eason that the bankers seem to be
cruel is that the péople do not
seem tO realize what théy are doing
when they sign a note.
He said we should never endorse
a note for anyone’ uniess we want
to take a chance at losing
our money, He said the’ bank is
willing to iend money to the persons who are high
the townspeople, or the wage earners.
PS Sa
Mr. Monett said that, six per cent
interest iis qharged on commercial
money and seven per cent on real
estate.
. He advised peiple not to borrow
from their relatives. Ile. also said
borrow money
