Topic and Attorney Dwight Steele, comparative newcomers to this city but among the most-active in civic affairs, have started a movement which should have the whole-hearted support of the community, Sproul Defends the Democratic Way of California last Saturday and told 500 members of the press that a free press and free university aré the real safeguard: of true democracy. Untrammeled opinion and education which gives those who go to college the opportunity to get all sides and hear all arguments and then make their own decision, strengthens the nation because we thereby live up to our constitution and its guarantees. He made a strong plea for the education which is in arcord with true democratic principle and declared that only in few instances do students become the prey of propagandists and turn out to be “‘rats.’’ He reminded of the thousands of men and women who graduate from the American universities to take their place by the side of other enthusiastic and loyal Americans, to strengthen the national fibre and work for the ideals of this free country. In our universities there may be some who are “‘red,” “parlor pink" or yellow, but after hearing Dr. Sproul we are certain that they are rare, the proteges of imports who cannot get far with foreign isms in a land whose advantges to the average individual are ‘so apparent and where opportunity is only limited by the ability as assimilate and utilize the privileges of citizenship. A free press which speaks its own mind, even though it is not the echo of all the people, is a respected press even if its opinion runs counter to popular trend of thought. So in the last election where public opinion expressed itself at the polls and elected President Roosevelt the voice of the people was heard above the din of the printing presses. All had their say, hut the majority decided. An informed electorate is a strong electorate. ! . Rotary Has Birthday . popes Rotary International today celebrates the thirty-sixth year of its existence. ‘‘By their deeds, shall ye know them.” Throughout the era of Christian existence, these words have tary International movement has been a great force in the United States, that has brought men closer together in the conduct of their business and community affairs. It can be a great force in bringing nations and ‘the conduct of their busi-. ness affairs closer together. Simply because a few mad individuals are loose in the world today does not mean that the high ideal in government we have always striven to uphold is dead. . There is full justification for every move made by every individual, organization, either political or business towards theend that peace may be preserved in this country and restored in the wofld. “The objects of Rotary are to encourage and foster the "ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster: . . The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service; 2. High ethical standards in business and professions; . the recognition of the worthiness of al! useful occupations: and the dignifying by each Rotarian of his occupation as an opportunity to serve society; 3. The.application of the ideal of service by every Rotarian to his personal, business, and community life: 4. The advancement of internatiorial understanding, good will, and peace through a world fellowship of business and ' professional men united in the ideal of service.” Nature Carries On The rains still come. One year we sit at a typewriter and record the fact that rains don’t come. The next year it is a recording of the fact that they don’t stop. Nature don’t seem to mind what any of us have to say about it. She just keeps carrying on—in season and out with whatever she wants to deal out. , Man in egotism, desides whether nations shall go to war or keep the peace. Judges decide whether a jury is right or wrong in making their decisions. Business executives decree the death of rival houses and some times get away with it. But nature makes up her own mind: Man is not consulted. So in the final anaylsis man finds he does have his limitations. _ That is the one great underlying principle that we all! seem to overlook in making the world either a better or worse place to live in. At any rate the farmers will not have a shortage of water to contend with this year.

During the first two years of its existence the ski club’s activities brought many people into this area and the snow sports enthusiasts here as well as the community were materially benefitted. atclub are ski The Nevada City Ski Course was then located nine miles above this city on the Tahoe-Ukiah Highway. Some of the recent arrivals cannot understand. why the course ‘was established at so low an elevation. The reason was the highWay was seldom open beyond that point because the snow equipment of the highway maintenance department then did not compare with the present’ efficient snow plows, which successfully keep the road clear no matter how deep the snow. The ski club of several years ago was composed of both local and Grass Valley people.’ It suffered a severe blow when the huge barn which had been converted into a shelter hut burned down. Then came a several year period when there was hardly enough snow on the ground at the ski course at any time for snow sports. Local residents began doing their skiing in the Big Bend district and finally the ski club sold its course. It is expected. the ski organization proposed by Dr. Topic and Steele will work hand in hand with the chamber of commerce in developing the Omega ski course, _ The Tahoe Forest Service has accomplished about $3,000 of work on the Omega course, The principal need is a ski hut. The,local ski club, if the organization attempts are successful, will probably have that problem as its chief objective. The chamber of commerce, through Secretary H. F. Sofge, has already appealed for a $500 appropriation from the board of supervisors for the hut. The appeal will be renewed by the chamber at the board’s next meeting. If the club here was formed for the sole purpose of sponsoring and securing the building of the hut at the Omega course it would be a successful venture. But there are many other advantages of such a club. Members will have ski instruction available at low rates and will be able to purchase their equipment and ski clothing at reduced prices. In addition there probably will be inter and intra club competition, giving members the thrill of competitive activity. Nevada City has one advantage other cities do not enjoy. The Tahoe National Forest Service headquarters is located here and the forest officials have signified their willingness to cooperate to all extent in a ski course as well as supplying the labor for any course developments. The Auburn Ski Club, one of the oldest and most efficiently operated in the state, is willing to coopeate 100 per cent with the local club, if it is formed, and Al Bequette, head of the Auburn club’s ski patrol, will give first aid courses in the proper handling of snow is 15 or more. All in all, there are many things to be accomplished by a ski club here and the proposed organizing of the club deserves unstinted sup-~port, District Forest (Ranger H. T. Snider of Truckee.

They come unbidden, these little waifs from the past, to flit through memory echoing halls and taunt us with our inability to fit them into once familiar patterns, or vestcozc them to the structures from which they have so inconveniently escaped. I suppose we have only the tricks of recalcitrant memory to blame for these annoyances but . don’t know of anything we can do to mend the circumstances. I once took a memory course; it didn’t help me. My memory wobbled under the burden of formulas, catch words and phrases laid upon it—it fairly staggered when I tried to put the machinery in motion; in fact that memory course became the family’s standing joke. Then one day when . failed to recall the title of an old song, which there was every reason to remember, . set myself the task of composing rhymes about the song titles . had not forgotten and kept them upon the piano—just in case.
