MERRIAM COMMENTS ON
RECENT MINING EDITION
New York, June 4, 1930.
Mr. A. A. Willoughby,
Nevada City Nugget,
Nevada City, Calif.
Dear Mr. Willoughby:
It does seem unnecessary for me
to tell you how much I enjoyed your
last mining issue. I also want to
congratulate you upo nthe enlargement of your paper ,and the installation of your new machinery, equipment, etc. You have certainly made a
great success of your enterprise there
in Nevada City, but I do not particularly commend you for that. That
merely shows that you are a good}
business man, and you have deserved
that success, by sticking on the job,
What I think deserves especial
commendation has been your patriotic and civic attitude manifested
in your upbuilding of the community.
To rehearse what you have done for
your section is a mere waste of
words. The power of the press is
mighty in any community ,but all
too often it is merely devoted toward the “grinding of the owner’s
axe,’’ or the bitter criticism of those
in authority, and actually destroy-.,
ing the good work of those wh are
trying to upbuild the community.
Your work, on the contrary, has!
been of the constructive nature, and

Fifty-one children were examined in
Grass Valley, including some infants.
On Juné-7 the clinic was held in
the Washington sthool in Nevada
City with the -Women’s -Civic Improvement Club sponsoring, and Mrs.
R. J. Bennets, Mrs.
sleeve, Mrs. Walter Mobley and Miss
Elizabeth James @ssisting. The attendance here was 22,%an excellent
average, which is over 50 per cent
of the total children expected to enter school in the: fall.
Dr. Mayman and Miss Davis were
in Truckee, Floriston and Hobart
Mills on the 9, 10, and 11, respectively and the total number of children examined there were approximately 50.
The purpose of these clinics is to
examine the children for defects,
such as bad teeth, tonsils, malnutrition or for defective lungs. The parents are informed of the defects and
have the summer vacation-in which
to correct them.
Miss Davis 1s leaving this week for
Los Angeles where she will take a
Summer course at the University of
Southern California. Her brother, H.
A. Davis, makes his home in Los Angeles and she will enjoy a visit with
him at the same time.
Miss Davis has proved a very popular public nurse and it is hoped that
she will return to Nevada County
next year. :
