Walking around town we see°a surprising number of babies, and the Mothers usually seem very young. W& suspect a large number of these infants are the first born, Times are getting betted undoubtedly and the course of true love runs smoother tha¥git did a while back. But where do al} these young families live, and how do they live? Are they able to rent decent, clean aparements—with modern conveniences? Reluctantly, following a number of inquiries, we conclude that many are not. Inquiry reveals a condition which hould tempt investors and builders build small courts and apartments, or even three and four room homes. Housing for this rapidly Browing city is entirely inadequate to the needs of the people a,nd far short of the demand, when the character of many places offered is considered. It-is true that a large number of old homes have been remodeled and cut up into’ apartments, and that many families for lack of anything better, are living in them, all the while on the watch for quarters more modern and more convenjient. We could name on the fingers of one hand the apartments in this town which are really up-to-date and modern. They are filled all the time and command a rent premium over larger but antiquated living quarters. These young people who are be_.ing.married know more about what constitutes modern and comfortable, time saving and convenient homes, than those who have grown old in the old ways of living. They have been trained, often in the schools, to discriminate between what is now the best in kitchen, bath and sleeping rooms, and what was the best twenty,’ thirty: or forty -years-ago. And they want the best that today offers at a price they can afford to pay, and in very few instances can they get it in Nevada City.

There has been no’ endorsement by the California Supervisors Association of the initiative measure proposed by the California Highways Council for the purported purpose of preventing diversion of the gasoline tax by amending the state constitution, despite published reports that such action was t¢ken. This was the statement today of Supervisor W. O. Russell. of Yolo county, chairman of the Legislative Committee of the Supervisors Association. Russell ‘said: “In a widely published announcement issued by the California Highways Council it was_directly implied that the Supervisors Association. had endorsed the Council’s initiative measure relating to the’ gasoline tax at its recent convention. As a matter of fact the Supervisors Association neither endorsed this particular plan nor considered it at all. ‘“‘What our association did was to retiterate its traditional policy of opposition to diversion of gasoline tax money to non-highway uses. The Supervisors’ Association like many other groups, would support a cleancut anti-diversion amendment but it positively did not endorse the particular measure now being circulated. “The council’s measure contains a number of other provisions, such as one that would place a constitutional limitation on any tax imposed upon Diesel fuel used by motor vehicles, and other features which are foreign to the subject of gasoline tax diversion. The Supervisors Association has neither studied ‘nor approved or disapproved these various provisions. “In view of the controversial nature of a number of things contained in the measure the Supervisors Association regrets that its attitude has been érroneously represented by the California Highways Council.”’ FIRE RUINS 200 ACRES PASTURE A. fire was reported on the Harrison Ranch eight miles west of Nevada City to State Ranger William F Sharp at 12:11 today and seven men were dispatched from the camp at 12:17. Six men were called from the Shady Creek camp above North San Juan also. According to last reports the fire has burned over 200 acres of brush and grass land and is going strong. The first report of the fire came from Alaska Peak lookout in Sierra county who reported it to Banner Lookout east of Nevada City. The lookout was unable to pick up the fire at once. Both lookouts are in the Tahoe National forest and the fire was reported to Sharp. Sharp now has his full fire fighting crew for the season and is well prepared to answer all fire calls at short notice. : TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS Judge Walter L.

SAVANT FINDS POI HELPS TEETH SAN FRANCISCO, Jay. 13;—— Sunny Hawaii can lay claim to a number of things that leave a pleasant taste. Science now caps this situation with a finding that the celebrated Hawaiian dish known as poi, when combined with plenty of sunshine, is an excellent food for the building up and maintaining of sound, healthy tooth and -bone structure. An article by Dr. Hermann Becks and Dr. Nina Simmons of the University of California College of Dentistry, appearing in a recent edition of the American Dental Association Journal, states: **Poi, a food long used in Hawaii, is a good source of . calciu and phosphorus when it is used ay a ous amounts, as it apparently was by the early Hawaiians. With plenty of sunshine, which in turn means it is not strange that the early Hawaiiians had excellent bones and teeth. Fish and other foods available furnished protein and the other necessary vitamins. “Owing to the intensive sunshine, which in turn means an abundance the diet of the population as a whole should contain an abundance of calcium as fwell as other factors. This was true when poi furnished such a large part of the food supply of the early Hawiidns.’’ One investigator found*that poi contains about twice as much vitamin B as milk, according to the article. ; Touching on certain dietary items otherwise and their relatinn t6 tooth health, the article states that an indicated change in diet in order to bring about tooth health, is not always easy to attain. “Some adults do not like milk; others believe they cannot take it; still others want a hot drink with their meals and they do not want cocoa. Comparatively few adults whose diets have been studied want to take even a pint of milk every day.’’ PTOMAINE POISONING Delbert Schiffner, who has beer at the Tahoe Pine Products company plant at Graniteville was rushed to Nevada City Saturday by his father, when he learned young Schiffner had suffered a severe attack of ptomaine poisoning. He was taken to the Nevada City sanitarium for treatment by Dr. W. W. Reed. but Keite,' is at his home today making a good recovery. girls’ Piedment andl Placer Democratic . Committee Endorses Bigelow Candidacy CALIFORNIA AT The Democratic Central Committee of Placer County has unanimously endorsed the candidacy of R. L. P. Bigelow, in his race for State Senator from this district, the seventh, comprising Nevada, Sierra and Placer ‘Counties. This endorsement constitutes not only’ a formal approval of Mr. Bigelow’s' candidacy, ‘but also the warm a 4 mi support of the R. L. Ee; Bigelow committee because of his long record of service as Forest Supervisor in which his work in securing funds for, and carrying to completion, new ‘roads, fire trails, bridges, telephone lines and recreation camps throughout the forests of Placer. county have established such a record of public service, that regardless of party brands a majority of progressive citizens of Placer county are anxious that he should continue in ‘public service in the state senate. From all communities in the three counties eome reports of group and individual endorsements of Mr. Bigelow’s candidacy. In the mining dis-, “tricts where Mr. Bigelow has done so much to provide roads, that, primbenefitting the national forests, also made many mining properties more accessible, reducing initial costs in ‘opening and developing them, Mr. Bigelow. is receiving whole-hearted support. In Placer and Nevada counties, farm groups and organizatgons are rallying to the Bigelow standard in recognition of almost thirty years of service in preventing forest fires, in road building and in promoting their effective use of forest pasturage.

TOP IN PUTTING MEN TO WORK With a commanding lead over alk states in the nation, California forged into first place during the month of May in returning men and women to employment, surpassing its April competitors —-New York and Illinois—by a wide margin. This is the announcement today of Roy S. Stockton, director, California State Employment Service, following receipt of national placement figures from W. Frank Persons, director, United States Employment Service, Washington, D. C. The statistics, according to Stockton, show that 19,526 persons were placed in employment in jobs paying prevailing rates of wages by his state-wide organization of twerntyfour branches This compares with New York’s 18,631 figures and Illinois 17,856 placement total. The totals are exclusive of placements in security wage jobs, Stockton said. While California’s~ employment showing is its greatest thus far this year, the employment service official points out, the national totals of the public employment service indicate highest levels, for all states combined were reached in, May. Placements in private jobs by all states employment services, the greatest in twenty three months, amounted to 131,781, a gain of 20.7 per cent over April and 17.5 per cent over May, 1935, said Stockton. Placements in public employment openings, he declared, reached the highest level since inauguration of the present United States Employment Service, in 1933, reaching a total of 243,380 for the month, a gain of 21.1 per cent over April, and 54.1 per cent over May, 1935. DEADLY PUNCTURE VINE EXHIBITED IN WINDOW Mr. L. G. Lageson, county horticultural commissioner, treated a patch’ of puncture vine near Town Talk last Thursday and will watch the spot to see that it does not re. turn. He brought a large vine of the weed pest to the Nugget office over the week end. It is exhibited in the Nugget window so that anyone can hereafter identify it. It has been known to kill sheep when the burrs got into their throats, The burrs will puncture an auto tire. When Mr. Lageson came to Nevada County three years ago the Spenceville district west of Nevada City was quite heavily infested with puncture vine. He used 300 gallons of oil that season and .the same amount the second year. This. year he is hand picking the few plants found here and there in the area. SAW MILL CREW HIT BY PTOMAINE Latest reports are that*all men who suffered a_ severe attack of : ptomaine poisoning at the Tahoe Pine Products saw mill near Graniteville, are well on the road to recovery.

But where do al} these young families live, and how do they live? Are they able to rent decent, clean aparements—with modern conveniences? Reluctantly, following a number of inquiries, we conclude that many are not. Inquiry reveals a condition which hould tempt investors and builders build small courts and apartments, or even three and four room homes. Housing for this rapidly Browing city is entirely inadequate to the needs of the people a,nd far short of the demand, when the character of many places offered is considered. It-is true that a large number of old homes have been remodeled and cut up into’ apartments, and that many families for lack of anything better, are living in them, all the while on the watch for quarters more modern and more convenjient. We could name on the fingers of one hand the apartments in this town which are really up-to-date and modern.

They have been trained, often in the schools, to discriminate between what is now the best in kitchen, bath and sleeping rooms, and what was the best twenty,’ thirty: or forty -years-ago.

Science now caps this situation with a finding that the celebrated Hawaiian dish known as poi, when combined with plenty of sunshine, is an excellent food for the building up and maintaining of sound, healthy tooth and -bone structure. An article by Dr. Hermann Becks and Dr. Nina Simmons of the University of California College of Dentistry, appearing in a recent edition of the American Dental Association Journal, states: **Poi, a food long used in Hawaii, is a good source of . calciu and phosphorus when it is used ay a ous amounts, as it apparently was by the early Hawaiians.
