Taylor of the N. C -N-G.R. R. stated Friday that he had arranged to bring ihe mails for Grass Valley and Nevada City, by truck from Auburn. whenever conditions on the Narrow Gauge threatened delay. ‘This will be good news for Nevada City. On Wednesday night Grass Valley received its mail at 7 o'clock in the evening after a long delay and Nevada City received the first mail in over 36-hours, the next morning (Thursday) at 10 o'clock. In the meantime, during the night and early Thursday morning, a train crew had worked desperately to bring the mail car through from Grass Valley to Nevada City on the Narrow: Gauge rails, and failed. Resort was finally had to a truck which was able to bring the mail sacks to the Nevada City post office, a few minutes after the railroad officials gave permission. In ‘these days when hundreds of people are practically snow bound, mail service assumes even More importance than under normal conditions. Parcel post service, prompt and efficient, is indispensible to business houses. In the outlying districts where the stage is the only possible link with the . outside world, disappointment in not receiving the mails is especially keen. Nevada City looks confidently forward to better service from Narrow Gauge officials whose line holds the mail franchise. The citizens of this town, the postal distributing plant for many mining camps, demand a better service, and though the heavy fall of snow is a decided handicap, it is not insuperable by any means, so long as the highways are open and trucks can get through. IT’S AN ILL WIND, ETC. By H. B. WRIGHT Give us an answer to this one. Why do many people complain and moan about this series of snow storms? «True, it makes walking difficult, renders automotive traffic risky and sometimes impossible and breaks down some old sheds that should have been torn down and bowls over a few trees. Also closes several mines. It has menaced the water supply of two cities, and delayed the U.S. mails for several hours. On the other hand, if the people of this day and age did more walking they would be healthier and live longer. About the automobile traffic—well, it is pretty tough for some of the local Romeos to have to stick by the fireside these evenings when they are used to tromping on the gas throttle. Now that some of the mines are closed down it gives the employees a chance to shovel some of the snow off of their roofs and to cut some more wood for the Missus. And about the mail— what if it is a little late? Look at all the fun you have reading about the outside world when it does come in. As for helping the unemployed, this snow has done more good than any community chest we ever saw. During the past two weeks in Nevada City alone, there have been more than a hundred men (most of whom have not a steady job) put to work shoveling snow from the roofs of stores and homes. Most of these men have been earning four bits, six _bits_or.a-dollar.an-hour.-There-are-also-the extra ‘men who have been put to work on the water ditches and roads. Think of the water supply that this storm is storing for us in the mountains for the summer and fall of 1933. Men will be able to work the San Juan Ridge as they have not done for many years. Other gravel mines all over this distrct will certainly be placed in wonderful positions to be worked this year. When these mines open up many men will be put to work on wages, other men will be able to do their own work and the countless number of snipers and river workers will be enabled to work more gravel and to stay at it longer than they have done heretofore. In turn, when these men make money, they buy materials and supplies—_the merchants profit, and when the merchants profit they buy automobiles, then the manufacturers get busy and employ more men, who in turn buy groceries and radios, and lo, we have started to break . the depression! In lighter vein, ask yourself this. Have you ever seen prettier scenes and views than you can see right now by stepping outside your door and looking either north, south, east or west? What opportunities are now presented for the artist or photographer2?As for the winter sports enthusiasts— they are in nothing more than a heaven right now. And the kiddies—we have never seen them happier nor more active. (Who wouldn't be, with no school and plenty of snow!) Not only will this storm be reflected in more employment in 1933, but for at least a half century to come it will have it’s effect on local residents. Picture yourself in 1973 huddled about a stove with a group of old timers. Can't you just hear yourself saying, ““Wal, this little storm haint nothin’ compar’t to what we had during the winter of °32. and *33. That was the year that old Si Perkins’ barn caved in.” Etc, etc. What a topic for conversation this will make in years to come! SCHOOL CHAMPION SPEAKS Declaring that “California cannot afford to balance its budget with the ignorance of children,’ Willard E. Givens, president of the California Teachers Association, in a statement issued in San Francisco, declared that the fundamental reason for the present financial difficulties of the State “‘is the antiquated tax system in use in California.” “A tax system that denies education to children in one _ community, while making good schools possible in another,”’ can no longer be tolerated in California. . was reported upon . copy. of Article j}ent had never ij gine Yuba River Country By J.
