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 GRASS VALLEY PERSONALS B. A .Perhall, Rev. C. W. Pearson, Charles Case, R. L. P.

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.
