On June 15 little Finland paid its war debt installment in full—as it has done every year. The so-called “great” gations, have sent over to us nothing but excuses, regrets, and “lots of paper. Not only should Finland be set up as an example of a nation conscious of its obligations, but it should serve as guide to our own country, which is now running up a national, not a foreign debt, which is reaching such gigantic proportions, that it can almost never “be paid off. Why should we, a country with much larger resources than Finland, be unable to balance our budget, and keep our finances in such condition that we too can pay off our obligations here at home? Camp Pahatsi is scheduled to open on July 5. At that time hundreds of boys from this district will trek their way to the cool mountains, and begin learning invaluable lessons from old Mother Nature, as well as other important lessons which “the Boy Scout principles inculcate in our youthfulcitizens-to-be.

This action of the committee has been approved by George E. Farrell, director of the AAA Western Division. The filling out of work sheets is the first step in the-program. Should a farmer desire to cooperate later this year, or even in 1937, he will not be eligible for a federal payment unless he has filed a work sheet. The purpose of the work sheet is to aid in setting up ‘spil-depleting bases which will be used in determining the farmer’s contribution to soil conservation, his eligibility for payment, and the amount of payment due him. Farmers who do not have work sheets can secure copies of them from the county farm advisor’s office, or from their community com-! mitteemen. Filling out:a work sheet does not obligate a farmer to cooperate. There will-be no contracts to sign. As soon as the work sheets are filled out, they go to the county committee, which. establishes the farmer’s soil depleting base acreage for_1936. gious CITIZENSHIP EX WILL BE GIVEN T0 23 MONDAY 10: asm: Z.

TRAILER TOURING NEW TRAVEL TREND The 1936 touring parade, which is expected to be the largest in history, will be featured by nearly one -_million persons enjoying the comforts of home along the highways in house trailers. This was the declaration contained in a report receivea by the California State Automobile Association from the nationwide American Automobile Association, with which the California motorists organization is affiliated. Discussing the recent increase in use of trailers, the report said: “The increase. in . popularty of these ‘fhomes on wheels” in recent years has been nothing short of phenomenal. Growth in trailer use has been ‘reflected at touring counters of affiliated A. A. A. elubs throughout the country, as trailer tourists require much more extensive tour mapping than average mo(tor travelers. Previously, routings generally were made for a week or two, but the trailer owner frequently seeks information for a trip lasting a year or more and covering most of the country. “Economy, comfort, and freedom of travel, have been the principal factors in the popularity of trailer ‘homes, -Persons fortunate enough to have comparatively long vacations yearly, and many retired business and professional men, make up a greater part of the trailer army. There is also a considerable num_. ber of people who now live permanently on wheels. . ; “Trailer manufactpripg has become a lively new industry in the United States. Parks and camps, esstructed, 10. = NEVADACITY VETERANS GET $40,000 BONUS More than -115 veterans have come forward to have their bonus bonds certified since Tuesday, according to Mrs. Betty Martin West, postmaster. The amount of these bonds totals $40,000 to Nevada City -vyeterans alone. Mrs. West states that many more veterans will probably receive their bonds within a short time. The branch postoffice at the Brand studio has been discontinued, but a special window has been set up for the veterans convenience _ in the postoffice which will handle the bond business while the demand warrants it. Every bond bore the _ veterans name and to receive it-or, have it certified for -_payment he had to be identified by two witnesses. Most of them were able to do this immediijately, although some had to go out to hunt witnesses who could identify them. Every witness who guaranteed a signature of a veteran can be held responsible to the government for the amount of the bonds if delivered to a person not entitled there to. and if criminal intent should be shown then fine and imprisonment would follow.

This action of the committee has been approved by George E. Farrell, director of the AAA Western Division. The filling out of work sheets is the first step in the-program. Should a farmer desire to cooperate later this year, or even in 1937, he will not be eligible for a federal payment unless he has filed a work sheet. The purpose of the work sheet is to aid in setting up ‘spil-depleting bases which will be used in determining the farmer’s contribution to soil conservation, his eligibility for payment, and the amount of payment due him. Farmers who do not have work sheets can secure copies of them from the county farm advisor’s office, or from their community com-! mitteemen. Filling out:a work sheet does not obligate a farmer to cooperate. There will-be no contracts to sign. As soon as the work sheets are filled out, they go to the county committee, which. establishes the farmer’s soil depleting base acreage for_1936. gious CITIZENSHIP EX WILL BE GIVEN T0 23 MONDAY 10: asm: Z.

TRAILER TOURING NEW TRAVEL TREND The 1936 touring parade, which is expected to be the largest in history, will be featured by nearly one -_million persons enjoying the comforts of home along the highways in house trailers. This was the declaration contained in a report receivea by the California State Automobile Association from the nationwide American Automobile Association, with which the California motorists organization is affiliated. Discussing the recent increase in use of trailers, the report said: “The increase. in . popularty of these ‘fhomes on wheels” in recent years has been nothing short of phenomenal. Growth in trailer use has been ‘reflected at touring counters of affiliated A. A. A. elubs throughout the country, as trailer tourists require much more extensive tour mapping than average mo(tor travelers. Previously, routings generally were made for a week or two, but the trailer owner frequently seeks information for a trip lasting a year or more and covering most of the country. “Economy, comfort, and freedom of travel, have been the principal factors in the popularity of trailer ‘homes, -Persons fortunate enough to have comparatively long vacations yearly, and many retired business and professional men, make up a greater part of the trailer army. There is also a considerable num_. ber of people who now live permanently on wheels. . ; “Trailer manufactpripg has become a lively new industry in the United States.

The amount of these bonds totals $40,000 to Nevada City -vyeterans alone. Mrs. West states that many more veterans will probably receive their bonds within a short time. The branch postoffice at the Brand studio has been discontinued, but a special window has been set up for the veterans convenience _ in the postoffice which will handle the bond business while the demand warrants it. Every bond bore the _ veterans name and to receive it-or, have it certified for -_payment he had to be identified by two witnesses. Most of them were able to do this immediijately, although some had to go out to hunt witnesses who could identify them. Every witness who guaranteed a signature of a veteran can be held responsible to the government for the amount of the bonds if delivered to a person not entitled there to. and if criminal intent should be shown then fine and imprisonment would follow.
