Dr. J. R. 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 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. Undoubtedly this same
_dame nature has decided man created enough problems of his
own to work out his coming year therefore she will make it

Not many years ago Nevada City
had a-ski club and it functioned
for several years and then died.
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.

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,

and.! presume the experience is common to us all.
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.
I hereby submit those rhymes; they may “jog your

companionships of other days.
