te 4 . Out Loud ‘arrested. The short “was manifested in Thinking . H. M. L. The City of Nevada has given up its short-wave receiving set. The cost of the set is $108. It is to be regretted that the city council regarded this investment as too much. It would have been an investment for more efficiently enforcing the law. For, this receiving set in a matter of minutes after a crime has been ‘gommitted anywhere in the city or county would apprise all peace officers. of the fact and put them on the trail of “the criminal. Mine owners of the county have contributed a total of $4,000, the entire cost of installing a shortwave broadcast station at the headquarters of the State Highway Patrol in Grass Valley. This is the only: state broadcast station in California. Police departments of the larger cities: of course have broadcast stations. In this county, in which it has been repealedly demonstrated, refugees from justice are often apprehended, it goes without: saying that every village, town or city, should have a receiving set to take advantage of the broadctsts from the State Highway patrol office. Hitrun drivers, thieves, highway robbers and murderers cannot run fast enough afoot or in cars to escape the short-wave message that arouses the countryside. The broadcast from Grass Valley has repeatedly halted fleeing criminals. Sheriff Carl Tobiassen has installed in his office the receiving set which the city rejected. But the city should have one, for minutes are precious when it comes to tracking down a felon in short order. Two car thieves Friday were apprehended in one-two-three time. They ‘were tremendously amazed when they were wave did it, When the new city hall is completed, it is to be hoped the city council will find a way to install a receiving set of their own. In the meantime, Chief of Police Garfield Robson has installed on his car a small receiving set, at his own expense, that will keep him informed of the going and coming of wanted citizens when he is in the car. Of course, that is better than nothing, but a stationary set in the city hall would be far better. Naturally enough for any man occupying the nation’s highest executive post in the White House, President Roosevelt ardently desires that his second term should be known in history as the ‘‘Hra of Good Feeling’. Every man in small or large spheres of activity desires the same thing. He-wishes to be friendly with his neighborhood and his community. But good feeling is something that must come from the heart. It is not something to be handed down from a shelf at a purchase price. John Lewis, the labor leader, proves this. He threw all his support to Roosevelt in the last election and has now flatly demanded his quid pro quo. He asks the President to back labor in its struggle in the steel and motor industries. It goes without saying that as between the administration and the hosts that follow John Lewis, there would be created good feeling. On the other hand the stock holders in the two industries and the consumers of steel and automobiles would probably be amazed and resentful, putting it mildly, if the President complied with Lewis’ demand. An ‘‘Era of Good Feeling”’ we surmise will not be possible during Roosevelt’s last term. All factions, politically and economically helped elect him. He owes nothing to any one faction that he does not owe to all. Lewis’ brazen demand should be heeded in just so far as it is in line with the common good of us all. : We doubt whether in the history of this country there ever has been an era of good feeling in which all the people were contented and satisfied with their government, unless indeed it was during. the quarter eentury immediately following the Revolution. But even then there was wrangling and quarreling among the states, and a rebellious disposition many. localities against the Federal government. And, on the whole, we doubt whether an era of good feeling is beneficial to a great nation. Rather, is it not better that there should always be a strong body of dissent, militant and ready to fight encroachments of government on private rights,. goVvernment extravagances or slipshod methods of administration. A critical minority ready to place an accusing finger on the conduct of public officials in order that. government, COVERS RICHEST GOL D ‘AREA IN CALIFORNIA levada City Nug : wat an er a get The Nevada City Nugget helps ; city and county to grow in population and prosperity.

ENGINEERS FIND ALLEGHANY ROAD ~ TO COST $105,944 Estimates of a proposed new construction and improvement of the road between Nevada City and Alleghany were sent to the Forest Service office by Engineer Giles A. McHenry after a. survey made at the request of hte citizens of Alleghany. McHenry and a crew of men furnished by Ray Hawkins, R. C., Bennett of the 16-to-1 mine and R. C. Scribner of the Kenton mine made the survey. The estimate for the proposed road is $105,944. Money must come from.state or relief funds as the forest service has no funds for the work. McHenry’s recommendation is that a large part of the old road be used with excavation and widening improvements. The proposed new road would have a 6 per cent grade as compared with the present 10 to 15 per -cent ~ grade, which makes driving dangerous. The new route would make the distance between Nevada City and Alleghany 43.5 miles instead of 36.7 miles, the present distance. YELLOWJACKETS DEFEAT LINCOLN (By FRE’ GARRISON In two fast games at the Pottery City, the Nevada City high school Yellowjackets won their first league games and lived up to their names by taking the sting out of the Lincoln high school A and B teams. Nevada City, so far defeated in the league now has a chance to prove itself a fast and spirited and victorous team: This places Nevada City ahead of Lincoln in the league standings and the ‘‘Jackets’’ hope to travel to the top. ,The preliminary game was chucked with thrills and proved to be one of those games where a team is ‘hehind and comes up and beats-its op= ponents. In the first half of the game the scoreboard showed 15 to 9 in favor of the Lincolnites, but much to the surprise of the. pottery city rooters, the Yellowjackets came ahead in the last half of the B game and defeated the opponents 32 to 27. Graham and Gates played an outstanding game for Barron's boys and seored 11 and 10 points respectively. The rest of the individual. scoring was as follows: Lotz—7; Karl Kopp —5; and Kennedy—1. Warren Goldsmith, Phil Angove and Eddie Doolittle also saw action in the contest. In the varsity A game, the Nevada City boys came out on the court at the beginning and started scoring and made it very plain to the valley rooters that the “Hill Billys’ from up in ‘them thar hills’? were going to defeat them. The final score of the A game was 35 for the Yellowjackets and 16 for the Lincolnites. Bill “‘Butch’’ Bennett, Nevada center, starred for the locals by chalking up 14 points in his favor. {n the rest of the individual scoring tabulations Cliff Hoff made 12; Todd Bonner 3; Melvin Clark 3;. Tony Perez 2; and Phil Joyal 1. Tobiassen'also saw action in the game. The boys and students ofthe local high school are extremely pleased because of this winning and hope they can keep up the good work and put up a good showing the second half of the Sierra Foothill League.

McHenry’s recommendation is that a large part of the old road be used with excavation and widening improvements. The proposed new road would have a 6 per cent grade as compared with the present 10 to 15 per -cent ~ grade, which makes driving dangerous. The new route would make the distance between Nevada City and Alleghany 43.5 miles instead of 36.7 miles, the present distance.
