COZY CORNER CHAT
WITH THE BEGINNING of re-;
building operations at the. turpen.
tine refinery Nevada City can confidently look forward: to an industrial payroil of considerable dimensions, in the next year or so. It
the mistakes in
building the first plant in the matter of fire hazard will berepeated
in the new plant. A complete new
plant isto be installed and of
American: manufacture instead of
the foreign type used before. The
‘raw product obtained from our pine
trees has been proven to have a
better refined product in resin than
the United States government standard, particulaly in the bright yellow
color, almost a clear amber. That
factor is doubtless what impelled:
the Fuller insterests to proceed with
the rebuilding of the plant. With a
well nigh inexhaustible supply of
raw product available there is no
reason why the operations should
not prove highly profitable to the
operators as well as Nevada City.
The Nugget is proud of the part it
played in the early commencement
of the industry here at a time .
when many of the timber owners!
were fearful lest the mistakes made .
in tapping operations in the Southern states where whole forests were
destroyed, would be repeated. The
tapping so far conducted has proven that the light method used locally does not injure the trees for continuous flow of gum and that the
trees. are-in.a vigorous condition.The proceeds from the tapping operations will prove a bonanza _ for
the owners of timber acreage who
have had a lot of it on hand largely .
.
.
useless for revenue aside from wood
cutting. The digger pine, largely
considered useless except for. wood,
has now been shown to have a gum
that is excellent for the making of
resin and the various by-products.
Nevada City has a big industrial future in’ prospect.
THE WORK OF OUR Chamber of
Commerce in sponsoring the improved street lighting for the business district is to be:-highly commended. Its first move in this re-.
gard was the flood lighting of the
court house and now with the new
street lighting almost an: assured
fact, the Chamber has proven its
capubility as a civic improvement
organipation. The Chamber is the
one male organzation in any community which does not have membership réstrictions and in this regard it is essentially an institution
which should be generously supported aftall times. Its work in sponsoring a Class A airport is worthy
os
.
of note and. it is to be hoped -that
its efforts will be crowned with suceess.
THERE IS A CHEERFUL sound
about the toot of the little narrow
yauge as it makes its meandering
trip to and from Colfax each day.
We may’ poke fun at its appearance
in jest but it keeps us on the map

WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY
(Editorial)
By Katherine Parsons
Another birthday anniversary of
the Father of Our Country
was celebrated — during the. past
week, on Saturday, February twenty-second. :
Every American . knows a great
deal about Washington's life. Of his
character, the most important thing
to remember is. that Washington
was distinguished less by the brilHancy of his talents than. by his
moral strength, sound judgment,
as nothing else can. Look up your
map of the United States and see if
there are any cities of consequence
off thé line of a railroad, If Nevada
City and Grass Valley are to maintain contact with the outside world
they will have to support their railroad ‘in sufficient amount to keep
the wheels moving, It is a vital matter to the. communities that their
railroad be kept: intact as well as
for those public spirited citizens
vho rescued it from the brink of
lisaster. Patronize your home railroad! AAW:

The position that George Washington has in American History was
stated in a resolution introduced in
the House of Representatives
five days after his death: ‘First in
War, first in Peace, and first in the
hearts of his countrymen”. We
know that this resolution was and
still is true.
It is well to remember that from
the time Washington drove the
British out of Boston,’March 1776,
until his death he was the foremost
man on the continent.
Today Washington holds “a large
place in our hearts because of his
unequalled part in founding, establishing, and making our nation what
it is today.
