Vol. 19, No. 47 _ The County Seat Paper : NEVADA CITY, “CALIFORNIA TiC THURSDAY, JUNE eo A BETTER CITY By EDW. C. UREN We recall very distinetly at least 45 years ago the oft repeated remark that the mines of Grass Valley and Nevada City would soon be exhausted and that it was only a question of time when both places would become like the ghost towns of the old hydraulic camips. We look back to the days of the early 1900’s. The arrival and departure of the up-country stages which came tearing down the planked streets just as though they had kept that pace all the way along the route. They were only glad to get home, that. wag all. In those days Commercial Street all along on both sides, from Pine Street to Deer Creek was a_ busy thoroughfare, even more so than Broad Street. People who came here, even from force of circumstances, soon express a liking for the place. © And why shouldn’t they? We’re — conceited enough to say that this region has everything that: any other place has got, plus a good many thing's they haven't got. Freedom from strife; Freedom from heat. Freedom from winds and mosquitos and s0 many other freedoms-that they. make the New Dea’s freedoms look like dried shrimps. We have got about everything here WILLIAM VEALE BORNE TO REST Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at Holmes Funeral Home for William Veale, who. died Monday in a local hospital. Rev. David Ralston officiated. Interment was in Pine Grove Cemetery. Veale was ‘born 75 years ago .in St. Just, England. He came with his parents were a young ‘boy to California and the family settled at Forest, Sierra County, where he attended school. In 1906 he married Miss Lucina Scheffer andthe couple came to Nevada City to live. He was a city employe for ten years and then with his family removed to Berkeley, where he became foreman of street repair crews. Of eight children, five sons gsurvive. They are Willard Veale of Vallejo, Harold Veale of Berkeley, Richard Veale of Denair, Stanislaus County, Calvin Veale of Sacramento and William Veale of Nevada City. RENO FISHERMAN LOST AND FOUND After 48 hours of being ‘“‘lost’’. and keeping out in the chill afr of Sierra altitudes, Bill Jones, fisherman—of Reno, Nevada, was found.by a searchthat makes for a pleasant existence. I was quizzing a neighbor’s small . girl just about to depart for the . south with the family. I asked her if she was glad she was going away. She was almost in tears, she said! “Oh, I like it here so much, and the! people are so friendly,’ In saying this she was of course expressing ‘the thoughts of her elders, but this little . girl’s’ opinion is worth agood deal to a community such as ours. Opinions like that are just what makes life worth living in a small com‘munity? especially to those who have . ‘been confined to the dog-eat-dog ex-. istence in the big cities. eMore business transfers and more . sales of real estate are taking place in this vicinity than hag been the . ease in the last 40 years, and the signs are plain enough that the old town is having its face lifted and a new lease of life is in store for many years to come. A good many cftizens are aware of the spiritYof-the times and are painting and repairing their and places of business -in order’ to make them more attractive. This: is as it sheuld be, for it is what makes a community pleasing to people who visit us or pass through on their journeys elsewhere. homes But you or I may spend a lot of effort in keeping a nice lawn.

Perhaps our next-door neighbor ~ has had a fire that has left in its wake a mess of half burned timbers. His garden is unwatered and dried up, and even the sidewalk in front of his place is unsafe to walk upon. That neighbor, through his negjigence, has not only allowed his own property to become an eyesore but he has also depreciated the value of your property and that of everyone in the neighborhood. The Chamber of Commerce and others have called attention to instances of this kind right in the business part of the city where people who pass along the main streets cannot help but see them, and they undoubtedly—even ag you and I—pass . } judgment: on the community that would endure these sghts, right then and there.

ELKS’ HEAD IS VISITOR TO LOCAL LODGE Stephen A.-Compas, president of the California Elks Association, is today the guest of the Nevada City Lodge of Elks, on the occasion of his official visit here. Compas is the past exalted ruler of Huntington Park Elks Lodge. He stated that the 1945 program of California Elks includes aid in rehabilitating disabled war veterans, in meeting war loan quotas, in securing blood donors, in recruiting nurses for veterans hospitals, and in studies of juvenile delinquency.

The way to deal with him is for, {ierty years. i tions and the but failed to spot Jones.’ LEGISLATURE SET TO ADJOURN SATURDAY By Allen G. Thurman, Assemblyman Sixth District : With a lengthy Saturday session which did not end until midnight, the lower house completed its file of assembly ‘bills, and this week began to consider senate bills. Under the rules, each house must complete ic+ tion on bills which originate in their respective house, a week before final adjournment, which has been: set. for Saturday, June 16. Saturday’s session in the assembly, was a somewhat hectic affair with several very controversial measures being considered. The assembly was under a call of the house, most of the day all members ‘being locked in the chambers until midnight, following the luacheon hour, Sandwiches and eoffee was served to the legislators at 10 p. m. Among the very controversial mesaures to he heard on the final day was the Dill to set up a relief plan to provide for relief. of hardship and destitution and assembly bill No. 3, an act to. create a state commission on fair: employment practices. Opponents of . each measure, endeavored to secure . passage of amendments to the: two bills, some of the amendments being . nothing more than attempts to de. lay action and send the bills to reprint. However the supporters of the. relief act were able to defeat most. of the amendments by tabling acbill was approved! shortly before 11 p. m. . 55 to-16. The relief legislation was intro-. duced for the purpose of setting up. within the state department of wel-. fare certain rules, regulations. and/ requirements for the handling of relief should such a program be needed at some future date. The new aa up would, in the opinion of .thp sponsors of the legislation, be much less objectionable than was the SRA of the former dole days. The legislation was supported by one labor group the AML and was bitterly pps posed by the CIO. The fair later on ments, practices act coming up the file following amendnever got to a vote as a call of the house on another measure, prevented the bill from coming up for final action before midnight arrived. Three or four other house measures also died on the file. The only way in which these measures could be considered in the lower house would be by consent of the speaker of the assembly and by a vote of sixty members of the house. An attempt to withdraw from the public health committee the so-called Warren hospital insurance bill failed last week when the members by a vote of 32 to-45 refused to permit the bill to be withdrawn. Forty one votes were required to withdraw. The writer voted in favor of withdrawing the Dill. We believe that it is the hospital expense more than the physicians bill which places aheavy ‘burden .upon the indvidual who becomes seriously ill and needs hospitalization. Some day, whether the state adopts hospital and medical insurance or not this nation will have it and it will probably be a compulsory plan, much more objectional to the medical profession than the proposed state plan. Congress already has such proposals before it. Several senate bills of particular interest to the people of the 6th district will come ‘before the lower house this week. Among them will be senate bill 1256 by Senator Mavo for an appropriation to purchase the townsite of Columbia in Tuelumne County for a state park. again Youth Steals $120 Spends It Glenn Oliver Brazell, 16, who confessed to the police that he stolen a wallet containing $120 and a rifle, has’ been certified to the juvenile court after appearing before.

He said that he had thrown the wallet and the rest of its contents in to Wolf Creek.

IN ALASKA SPARS are urgently needed—iNow —for service in Alaska. Lt. Moak of the Sacramento recruiting station made this statement this week as the extensive drive for more SPAR enlistments continued. Alaska is now to the SPARS, although Coast Guard activities have been closely bound up with the history of the territory since the year of the “Alaska purchase. Now the Women’s Reserve is taking its turn at northern duties and will move into Alaska as they have at Coast Guard stations all over the United States and in Hawaii. Admiral Russell Waesche, commandant says to members of the Women’s Reserve—again you have another challenge. This time it is duty in Alaska where there is real need for your service. Many of our men stationed there are anxious to be assigned to the theatres of more active comlbat duty. Mamy deserve a well earned transfer to the states. I know you will meet ths call for duty in our northern-most territory just as you have met with flying colors the many challenges you have faced during the last two and one years. SPARS in Alaska will wear the orange ribbon of the Asiatic-Pacific area. They will receive 20 per cent additional ‘base pay for overseas duty and $300 mustering out pay when the war in the Pacific is over.
