M. L.) Father Neptune. came _ Friday night to the municipal pool for a brief visit. Some six or seven hundred people saw Neptune, seated on his royal barge’ throne, drawn around the pool by a score of sturdy swimmers. As the program unrolled and these graceful boys and girls gave demonstrations of skill and strength in the water, many an oldster reflected on the dearth of such opportunities in his own boyhood. This modern swimming pool, in its spacious and beautiful park, belongs to the modern day and modern youth, just as much as does the automobile. The “‘swimmin’: hole’’ with its ‘mud and snapping turtles, has gone the way of Dapple and Dobbin. This was a community event, for which a small charge was made to defray expenses of the pageant and to realize a little money, which will be used in park and pool improvements. It needed the demonstration of Friday night to make Nevada City people realize that they have the most beautiful park and most modern pool of any little mountain city in Northern California. It is an achievement that every citizen aun take pride in. We now’ shift from the SERA to NRS, or the National Reemployment Service. It will probably mean very little change in those projects begun under the SERA, and will mean an expansion in those projects which carry with them a great permanent value. As its name implies it will be the duty of the Reemployment Service to find jobs for those on relief and to give them’ relief only when jobs in private employ are lacking. It is notorious that a considerable number of SERA workers have refused employment. under private employers, at considerably more aggregate wages monthly, than offered by the SERA on a part time basis. It is understood that under the new set-up these lazy scamps will get short shift. This brings us to the theme of last Friday’s column, namely, what to do with the unemployables and unemployed in normal times. A solution which commends itself to many thoughtful persons, is this: This army, which in population of 125,000,000 is always bound to be large, should be employed landscapong and making beautiful the nation’s highways. In the hot valleys deviduous trees should be planted along them; in the mountains, flowering shrubs. Practically all highway rights of way should be a 100 ‘feet wider and all but the most necessary signs, those of guidance to motorists eliminated. This a big job. But when one reflects the large proportion of waking hours which a good half of the: population of this coungry ‘spends upon _ the highways, the value of such work appears. A civilization’s culture is manifest in its roads and public buildings.Rome owed much of its greatness to these things. on What to do with the unemployables who suffer disabilities of mind and body? This problem, as the country increases in population, becomes more and more pressing. many ruthlessly sterilizes mentally feeble and certain criminal classes. Since Hitler came to power some 80,000 of these operations have taken jlace. Some states in this country are practicing this method of reducing the fumbers of incompetents for the future. Recent statistics indicated that among the unemployed the birth rate is far higher than in the rest of the population. No ques: tion but that the civilized nations in a few more years will use this method generally for reducing the numbers of those who are born to become a burden upon the thrifty and industrious. Ger2 TWO MEN MISSING: FRIENDS ASK SEARCH Considerable mystery surrounds the disappearance of Johh McToush and Charles Wright, both over 60 years of age, who left Grass Valley last Friday by car fo Mooes Flat in Sierra county for a visit to their friends, and never reached there. Friends came to Nevada City this morning and notified Sheriff Carl ‘ Tobiassen, as some fear is felt that may have gone over the grade. Two years. ago a car went over the grade at Moores ‘Flat and the car and body ‘were not found until a week later. Vol. IX, No. 77.

Complete reports are not yet available. This sum will be used for park and pool ‘improvements. While this amount does not seem very large in relation to the. big audience, it must be remembered that no charge was made for children under ten years of age, and more than half the audience were children. A merry group of young people, members of the Nevada City higi school band, and those assisting in the evening’s entertainment, initiated the new community house, following the water pageant, with a dance.
