By subscribing to, 2 { * advertising in the Nugget, therefore, \ + you help yourself. : Bay LOLOL III (By H. M. L.) A writer chap in Kansas sends out “a column called: ‘‘Do you ever stop °io think?’’ Rather an arresting idea until examined critically. Imagine all of us stopping whatever we are doing, to think. As a matter of fact busy people do most of their thinking while they are doing. Thinking is not a process which ordinarily requires stopping. A lawyer or doctor hurrying to an appointment rarely Clark Carter; home on a furlough 1alts in his tracks to. think. It} after completing his four years at would Ge a queer world indeed if. the naval academy, in response to thinking were divorced from action. Really when we stop, it is to dream, . and not to think. It is difficult for the human eye “to see growth of any kind. Under the microscope the eye may perceive the actual growth of certain bacteria. But the growth of a child, of a plant, and even of a community is so gradual that the eye fails to perceive the gradations. But by contracts, by ‘remembered measurements, it is easy to perceive growth. Nevada County two years ago, contrasted with Nevada County today shows a very remarkable growth. Two years ago, in March, in Nevada County, there were 1200 miners employed. This June there are more than 2200 men employed, a difference of 1000. These thousand men have undoubtedly brought at least 2000 others with them, wives, children or relatives into this county. This would mean an_ increase population to the county, credited to the mining industry alone, of 3,000. But the merchants, the restaurants, the beauty shops, the hotels, ‘the contractors and builders, the building material dealers, have also increased their forées and augmented the ranks of our business community to serve this influx of miners. Another thousand population has been added to the county, it is safe to say, to take care of the needs be. Pie ounty Seat Paper. NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA The GOLD Center. MONDAY, JUNE 17, 1935. 4 CLARK CARTER TELLS OF NAVAL ACADEMY LIFE ‘Dreamers and Builder He is tired of endless toiling In the seething marts of men, Tired of tearing down, he says, a Skeet Club Ready For 3-Day Nor. Calif. Sho of } inquiries concerning the academy, gives this interview to the Nugget: “The Naval Academy course is a long and hard road but it must be that way in order to accomplish its purpose, Rated as one of the best engineering schools in the country, it is hard to get into and once there it requires a little extra effort to stay. When you. have finished, you have besides your diploma and ring, the age old expression of the service, ‘‘well done.” “There are several openings ayail-’ able for one who wants to enter. There are scongresional appointments, senatorial appointments, and presidenal appointments and many have joined the regular navy or marine corps and entered from the service. The examinations are nearly as varied as the appointments. There are what are termed regular examinations, in six subjects, substantiating examinations in two subjects and college certificates. There is only one physical examination available for entrance and that must be taken at the academy, Preliminary physical examinations may be taken by permit from the navy department and are held at all navy yards and stations. These do not in any way replace the examination at the academy. “The four year ‘course covers many varied subjects all o which are deemed necessary to a naval officer’s life. Desciptive’ seometry, mar-. ine engineering, electrical engineereee \ And of building up again; ‘And he longs for the peaceful valley Where he spent his idle youth, Dreaming the dreams of boyhood: And learning its lessons of truth. In the maze of alluring visions, He turns with a weary sigh From the throbbing heart of the city Where the tides of life sweep by; And he yearns for the gentle murmurs Of a stream that once he knew, Forgetting that only the builder Can make his dreams come true. Go, rear your airy castles By the river’s rippling tide, Then come with your wistful fancies And stand by the builder’s side; His soul must capture the vision, His hands the work must do, For only the. skillful builder Can make your dreams come true. Sing then a song of the city With its turmoil and its strife, Where dreamers and builders together Are molding the pattern of life; Where together they strive for the future __ With pride in the work they do, And the magical task of the builder Is to make our dreams come true. —A.

The underlying reason,: of course, is the increase in the price of gold. It only claims to have called the attention of the world outside the county, to the unusually favorable conditions which here exist, both for employment and for capital inves nt. In doing this, it z0es ee cis that we must take the bitter with the sweet. Peatake the bitter with the sweet. Peowherever they are. But we will submit they have not been as heavy a burden here as they havein thousands of other localities, The benefit of this publicity: given monthly to mining and mining opportunities cannot be measured in any certain terms or figures. The general result, however, is obvious. Grass Valley and Nevada City are growing closer together along the four-mile highway between them. Even now, employment, particularly in the skilled trades, is depleting the ranks of the SERA. For instance a skilled worker on the municipal park project, yesterday gave notice that his services were no longer available. He had found employment at $110 per month with board and lodging provided. This is one of many straws in the wind and significant. _ No, we do not stop to think.
