NEVADA CITY NUGGET Nevada City Nugget $05 Broad Street. Phone 36. A Legal Newspaper, as defined by statute. Printed and Published ° at Nevada City. H. M. LEETE Editor and Publisher Published Semi-Weekly, Monday and Friday at Nevada City, California, and entered as mail matter of the second class in the postoffice at Nevada City, under Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. ‘ SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year (In Advance) tebe st % eS > : : Succesor To Santa To protect California children from losing the “illusion of Santa Claus,’ Senator Harry Westover of Santa Ana has proposed a legislative bill that most mothers and dads will approve—to restrict the use of St. Nick’s picture in commercial advertising. Now, if that works, a 100 per cent job will near completion. For already, the lavish spending of billions in the nation’s paternalistic programs has pretty well converted all grownups who are the least bit gullible—and, of course, who are on the receiving end of the lineup — to a firm belief in Santa Claus. At this point. an achievement of masterly statesmanship would be the restoration of some measure of the Santa Claus jllusion to the taxpayer who foots the bills. In his benighted state, he thinks Santa’s as extinct as a dodo.—Contributed. Help On The Highway ' Prosnect of a new “highway emergency hospital” on a stretch of road that has recorded against it one of the blackest records of casualty and death in the state, is good news to California. however bitter the situation which necessitates it. A fine, wide and straicht stretch of concrete, the Bayshore Highway in San Francisco County, it is reasonable to expect. should provide safe transit to the millions who travel it. But it doesn’t. so the hosnital is in prospect. _ Neither do dozens of other equally fine. modern _highwavs in the state. For the builders and engineers. working -with their sand and gravel, cement and stone to produce a perfect roadway, have yet to reckon with the nature of the drivers who will use their roads. Drivers entranced by long, level sweepsiof highway, who step on the gas, weave in and out of fast moving traffic—and who, in the comfort and ease-of their powerful cars, forget another power of the modern juggernauts thev ride—the power to destroy and kill. Until the day when human nature changes, or until the advent. perhaps, of the much discussed mammoth, one-way highway systems. there will be too many highway casualties. And meanwhile, thousands of victims of man’s instinct to get there quick at whatever cost, will be grateful for the ministrations of the close-at-hand, highway emergency hospitals.— Contributed. Athletics Vs. Education Sports editors are commenting widely on discussion in a California high school league where one school is accused of proselyting—luring basketball players from other schools by material inducements. The problem, growing nationally and not unknown in even the smaller communities, is many-sided. The trend seems toward recognition that if a boy can exchange athletic prowess for school expenses and perhaps a bit of profit, he has the right to do so. But that trend begs the more serious problems. Medical authorities agree that the ’teen-age boy, over-exerting himself _to gain his material reward instead of playing for the fun of it, risks permanent impairment of his health. Too, the tempt‘ation is for growing boys to center both interest and ambition on sports rather than education. Our schools have faced before the confusing problem of -mixing athletics and education. To parents, and to taxpayers, however, the issue is clear. Financed by public funds and charged with the duty of equipping youth for the struggles that really count in life—those that come after brief athletic careers are over—our educational institutions must not, in their zeal for athletic recognition. violate that charge. Educa, ‘tional values must not be sacrificed—not even to sports.— GOVERNMENT TO. ~ BUILD CAMP AT ~ NARROWS DAM Plans and specifications for the _ ¢onstruction of a government camp at the Upper Narrows Debris dam site on the Yuba river have ‘been advertised and bids will be opened _ February ‘9. : The site of the work contemplated is on the Yuba river in Nevada sounty, California, approximately 25 miles easterly by road from Marysville. ; The principal items involved are the construction of eleven frame buildings, the construction of a camp access road and the furnishing and installing of water supply and sewage systems. When available, specifications, plans and bidding blanks will be furnished prospective biddeds. A deposit of $5.00 is required for the procure‘ment of plans, which deposit will be refunded if plans are returned to the office the U. S. engineer at Sacramento within 30 days after the date set for opening bids. The award will tbe made as a whole to one bidder. 4 107 min Street Nevada County Photo Center PHONE 67 ~=StPortraits, Commercial Photography, 8 Hour Kodak Finishing, Old Copies, ‘Enlarging and Framing, Kodaks and Photo Supplies esac testers SO SAT WE ALL! GETTING SOME PLACE Mt . , ae eee 2 aa # aa @ a WITH YOUR ASSEMBLYMAN “SCOOP” THURMAN _ AT THE STATE CAPITOL The legislature adjourned on Wednesday of this week for the interim recess and _ will reconvene again on Monday, March 6. This week’s short session saw the appointing of committees in the assembly by Speaker Paul Peek, the presentation of the administration’s budget with Governor Olson’s recommendations including his views on such issues as taxation and direct relief and a battle in the assembly on the Senate Joint Resolution;,opposing the proposed Kings iver Canyon National Park. The matter of relief is one of the biggest problems which will face the legislators this session while the matter of taxation is of equal importance. There is considerable opposition in the assembly to aliens receiving relief. There are two sides to this alien relief question to be considered and one of them@“is that many of the aliens 6n relief have American born children. You cannot cut these aliens off relief without injuring their American born children. Persomally the writer wishes that some way could be found in which to cut aliens off. If an alien has lived in this country for twenty or thirty years. without becoming a citizen we fail to see why he should have equal) relief rights with citizens. We have enough of our own citizens to take eare of without having to care for these who have had an opportunity to become citizens but would not take advantage of it. It might interest some of my readers to know that the Weimar Tuberculosis Sanatorium which is operated by some fourteen counties have more than one hundred aliens as patients. The alien problem is indeed a problem. Last week your assemblyman introduced a bill in the assembly which if approved would place the seven members of the state board of forestry on a basis of fixed terms instead of the present method of serving at the pleasure of the governor. If such a law were in effect this important board would always haive sufficient mem'bers on it who would be familiar with the work and the program and the appointing of new members would in no way handicap the state division of forestry. Too many boards are made up of politic, al appointees who have little or no , knowledge of the work of the board . to which they have been appointed. {In addition to the staggered terms we also have included in the bill a provision that five of the seven members on the board shall be composed of one member each from the redwood timber industry, pine timber industry, agricultural interests, live stock interests and one familiar with the conservation of water. The other two could be appointed at large, All appointments would continue to be made by the governor. . We had the honor last Thursday of introducing Assembly Concurrent Resolution No. 10, relative to the recent death of Judge Joseph Jerome Trabucco of Mariposa county. With us on the resolution were Assemblymen Johnson, Carlson, Williamson, Gannon, Millington and Phillips, all attorneys who knew and admired the late judge. In the senate your former jassemblyman, Senator Jesse Mayo introduced the joint resolution with both houses of the legislature adjourning on Friday out of respect to his memory. We were very happy to be able to introduce this resolution in honor of a man who typified the highest type of superior court judge. A man of honesty, sterling character and sincerity. The Senate Joint Resolution opposing the formation of a national park in the Kings River Canyon was passed Monday in the assembly by a vote of 54 to 20. Opponents of the resolution who favored the proposed national park were unable to prevent its passage. Your assemblyman assisted in the passage of the resolution.
‘Committee appointments were made by Speaker Paul Peek on Monday and your assemblyman fared very well inasmuch as he was assigned to three committees of particular interest to the sixth district, the fish and game ecommittee, the mines and mining committee and the mittees to which the writer was appointed are labor and capital, introduction of bills, state grounds and parks, and public charities and corrections. THE COWBOY AND THE LADY, AT THEATRE SUN. The high, wide and handsome adventures of a_ streamlined social registrite who causes considerable eyebrow lifting in Washington’s upper crust when she “middile-aisles it” with a roving cowboy from the western plains is both humorously and dramatically unfolded in Samuel Goldwyn’s “The Cowboy and the ‘Lady,’ co-starring Gary Cooper and Merle Oberon, which is scheduled for its initial showing at the Nevada Theatre on Sunday. Supporting Cooper as the bronzed he-man from the sage dotted hills and Miss Oberon as the madcap modern who takes her romance neat, is a hand picked cast headed by Patsy Kelly, Walter Brennan, Mabel Todd and Fuzzy Knight. Miss Kelly, who mantically paired with Walter Brennan, while Mabel Todd, blonde comedienne, is the ‘‘heart interest” of fuzzy Knight. In fact, it is these two honest to ‘good romances which inspired the whirlwind courtship of Cooper and Miss Oberon and cause a sizeable dither in the scandal columps. Among the outstanding sets constructed for the production is a: palatial Florida mansion, the screen home of Miss Oberon, the very spot, in fact, where the impetuous young damsel pretends that she is a lady’s maid and proceeds to employ three experimental methods to ensnare her man. The screen play for “The Cowboy and the Lady” was jointly written by S. N. Behrman and Sonya Levien from an original script by Leo McCarey and Frank R. Adams. — It was directed by H. C. Potter, for release through United Artists.
