High School Board ~ Makes Statement ’ A great deal of publicity has been spread about in our community concerning certain recent happenings,in the Nevada high school, and much false information has apparently been disseminated. For this reason a:clear statement of the facts from this board seems to be warranted. Several days before Graduatilon Day, 27 out of 43, members of the senior class decided to take a ‘‘skip day’’, in the face of distinct school regulations to the contrary. When the students faiiled to appear at school, they. were promptly notified by the principal, through the class advisor, that their action was in violation of school regulations, and would be appropuiately punished unless the offenders returned to roll call—in which case the matter would be forgotten. Two boy students took enough interest in the matter to call upon the principal— one of them rejoining his class at school, the other casting his lot with’ .the truants, The latter, fully warned -that their action constituted a flouting of school auhority, and with full understanding of the consequences, persisted in their plan, and deliberately walked out for the day. In order that the principal’s decision as to the punishment of ‘these pupils might be given full consideration by the faculty and the board of education, a jpint meeting of these bodies was held prior to graduation day, and the actién of Principal Kjorlie was upheld and approved by every member of both bodies in attendance at the meeting with the exception only of the senior class advisor. With the approval of Mr. Kporlie, certain features of the proposed punishment were ameliorated and the reprimand as finally put into effect was as follows: All senior class students to receive diplomas at graduation, except. that the diplomas of truant students would not bear the signature of the principal; . one day’s absence to be made up by -graduation, such students, the day following upon completion ‘of which students were to obtain and did obtain the necessary signature to diplomas. a There is nothing very drastic or unfair in this arrangement-so far as this board can see—nor do we believe that the majority of the students concerned feel that they have been treated unjustly. No student has beén humiliated; every studentscholarstically competent has been graduated. In many schools, students so defying authority might have fared much worse. This incident is obviously one entirely concerned with the proper maintenance of constituted authority in the school, in which respect, principal Kjorlie was merely carrying out the well understood policy of this board that students must at all times respect and abide by schoory regulations. In spite of this, a number~ of-individuals have seized upon the occasion to voice complaints against Mr. Kjorlie, expressed in a petition to this board signed by sun-dry citizens, some of whom are not voters of the district. For reasons which are apparent, jthis petition has been laid on the table. Altogether, it seems to us that the principal of the school has been subjected to a great deal of unwarranted criticism and adverse comment for carrying out the plain details of his duty, and it is only fair to Mr. Kjorlie to state that this board fully approves the measures employed by him in earrying out school discipline, and is duly appreciative of his able and conscientious efforts which have contributed in no small measure to the present excellent standing of Nevada City -high--school.

Noyes, John Gaskins of the Nevada City Drug store, and L. Lewis, of Grass Valley, set out early Sunday morning to catch some of. the big trout they had been hearing about, and stopped at Milton lake. They caught several fine fish, but mosquitos were almost unbearable. Every effort was made to get rid of them even raising their jackets and fishing through tiny peep holes and the insects dived into them. Finally Lewis gave up letting the insects help themselves, and his arm, neck and hands are plentiful evidence. He said he.thought they had in mind he was a tourist, but Mr. Haskins claims, they are of the black bird variety with woodpecker’ abilities, biting through a heavy coat of sunburn. To cap it all E. Noyes, of a local electrical firm, had visions of winning the prize offered in the new drug store, when he flipped a 17inch beauty out and was taking off the scales, when zip went a mosquito on his ear. As he made a pass at the insect the fish jumped into the lake—or at least so Noyes claims. One hundred girl.reserves from the bay district passed through Nevada City today enroute to Gold Hollow for their vacation. A ‘number of young women from Mills ColJege, Oakland returned “home ‘today making room for ‘this. group who have taken a lease on the camp. — Mr. and Mrs. Irving Long and daughter, Miss Margaret Long, motored to Marysville Monday. Miss Long took the train to Chico where she is a student in Chico state college. She is staying with her uncle Joe C. Long who is in charge of the U. S. Plant Introductory Gardens. Messrs. Hal Draper, local assayer Norman Wagner and Donald Strandberg of Nevada City made an _ inspection of .a mining property at Alleghany last.Saturday, the\Sierra County:Chamber of ComNEW ROUTE TO ALLEGHANY DISCUSSED The Sierra county road committee met Saturday with representatives from the Nevada City Chamber of Commerce and Edward J. Neron of the State Highway Department to discuss the possibility of getting a new or practically new road into Alleghany. A. J. Just, president of merce presided over the meeting. B. C. Goldsmith of the U. S. Forest Service stated that a Forest Service engineer would make a survey of the new route proposed. The new route advocated would leave the Ridge road at Snellman’s and keep on an even grade to join the Foote road at or near Red Ledge. The road at the approach to Alleghany would be re-aligned and: would come in near the Sixteen-to-One mine in a gradual approach. After the Forest Survey has been made a reconaissance by the state will be asked. Another proposed route was presented in a rough sketch by Bert Austin of the Sixteento-One, in which an’ entirely new road would be constructed from Freeman‘sCrossing. Until this time no concerted action has been taken by the communities interested, and it is thought that with the backing of civic organizations something definite may be accomplished in the near future in regard to the badly needed road. Hope was held that Federal as well as State aid for the project may be secured, as the ‘Forest Service wishes to open up by road that country which is now accessible only by foot. Nevada City men who attended the meeting were: F. F. Cassidy, Geo, Calanan, Geo. Walling, T. Richards, R. L. Bigelow and B. C. Goldsmith. L. R. JEFFORD BUILDS NEW FUNERAL HOME L. R. Jefford, Nevada County coroner and proprietor of the W. R. Jefford and Son Funeral Parlors, in this city and Grass Valley, yesterday announced that construction would begin immediately on a new funeral home at the corner of South Church and Walsh streets in Grass Valley. i : The new building will be of the very latest design, and will have many new features added to its construction. The chapel will seat 200 persons, with room for more if needed. It is estimated that the construction of the building will take from three to four months, and will be ready for occupancy before the winter months. 20,000 WORK SHEETS SIGNED IN CALIFORNIA IN CONSERVATION PLAN 20,000 work sheets have been filled out by California farmers in the signup campaign for the 1936 Agricultural Conservation Program which ends July 15 in this state, it was estimated today by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration regional headquarters in Berkeley, California. ' County ,and community committeemen are making concentrated efforts to acquaint farmers with the provisions of the new national soil conservation plan and urging them to file work sheets. Filling: out a work sheet places no obligation on the farmer, but one must be filled out for each farm he owns or operates in the county if he is to. become eligible for a soil conservation grant. There will be no contracts to sign. The main purpose of the work sheet is to aid in establishing a soildepleting base on the land of each farmer who desires to cooperate in the national plan for conserving and sheets require the following information: (1) a detailed description of the location-of the farm; (2) distribution of farm acreage according to the crops grown in 1935; (3) AAA contract information; and (4) the yield of the mapor crops on the land. Work sheets and assistance in filling them out may be obtained from county farm advisors or county or communitl committeemen. — Incendiary Suspected — As Six Fires Blaze State Ranger William F. Sharp improving soil resources. The work. and crew of several men were kept on the jump Sunday afternoon as. six fires sprang up in rapid succession, starting at three minutes to five and being all out at a quarter to six. Three were on the McCormack property in the Canada Hill district and three on the Taylor ground on the ridge south and above Gold Flat. The fires ranged from less than a quarter of an acre to an acre and Mr. Sharp stated that they were evidently of incendiary origin, and that it seemed as if someone set the fires as they went from the McCormack property west and out pver the: hill in a good stand of pine timber. The regular summer crew of fire fighters have not been put on and it kept the present force on the jump. Seyeral neighbors in the Gold Flat area responded and assisted in putting out the fires. Mr. Sharp was called to Rice’s Crossing on the North Yuba river last Thursday. afternoon to extinguish a fire that.burned over twenty acres of grass before being brought under control.It started along the side of the Downieville Nevada City highway and spread rapidly. SAFE DRIVERS IN MOTORCADE TO NEW YORK Setting in motion plans for selection of a California delegate to. the nation wide motorcade of safe driyers that will converge upon New York City on August 31, the California State Automobile Association today announced that entry blanks for candidates will be available at each of its offices. Arrangements for the motorcade are being directed by the American Automobile Association through its affiliated ‘clubs, of which the California association is the largest. One outstanding safe driver in each state will be picked to make the trip to New York to participate in a two day. ‘‘accident clinic’ for the diagnosis of dangerous driving practices and to advance their own ideas for the most practicable remedies. Expenses of delegates will be paid and various honors will be bestowed. In order to be eligible as a candidate, applicants must have driven private passenger automobiles for at least ten years and covered at least 50,000 miles in that time. They must also have a clean accident record, with no traffic violation conviction during the ten years. Selection of each state’s delegate will be by a board of judges under general rules laid down by the AAA, Departure of the delegate from each state will be timed so that all will arrive in New York the afternoon of August 31. They will be re-. quired to dri¥e a prescribed route in such a manner as to provide a demonstnation of safe driving, and to make a full report of any accident in which they might figure enroute. LATE THOMAS BATH BURIED The Holmes Hooper Funeral Home of Grass Valley is conducting services this afternoon for the late Thomas Bath, who passed away at the county hospital Saturday evening.

Mr. E. J. N. Ott, chairman of the decoration compgittte, stated that the flags of the 48 states of the Union are in the decorations. The ‘usual evergreens, pines or cedar, will be placed at each pillar in the business district about three days before the celebration opens. Mr. Charles Leiter, general chairman of the Fourth of July celebration, stated plans are shaping up nicely for a bigger and better celebration. Many floats are being entered and more enthusiasm is being shown. Sheriff Carl.J. Tobiassen, chairthis morning that the general theme is acceptable, as the parade will be in several divisions, each theme to its division. He urges-as many as possible to turn out for the big event. Costumes of the 49’er times are especially urged so as to make the big affair as colorful as possible. Banner Mt. Post, V. F. W. are going forward with plans for a fine program at Armory Hall commencing the evening of July third, and fifth. The Post is offering $50 in lasting until the evening of July jrizes, among the offers being listed are $10.

HANGAR PERMITS SOUGHT ON NEVADA CITY AIRPORT There are four different groups applying for permits to use the Nevada City airport, north of Nevada City’s limits and owned by the city. Messrs. Edinger and Lewis appeared at the last meeting of the Nevada City council and it is understood that four men would unite in building a hangar on the field for their use and ask about securing a lease. Mr. Ed C. Uren, city engineer, stated today he was returning a letter to Postmaster Betty Martin West ‘in which he Department of Commerce was making inquiries on the air port and its condition. Mr. Uren wrote Congressman. Harry L. Englebright about the field May 27 and as yet has had no word from him. The title to a part of the property is not clear and this prevents securing more government money. It is figured more work can be secured from the WPA ‘this fall or as soon as the title is clear. The closing of the MacBoyle air port on the Loma Rica ranch south of Nevada City to public use in 30 days, makes it necessary for outsiders using the field to secure another airport, FOURTH COMMITTEES Chairman Cc.
