Why brides prefer it, rather than May or December, belongs to those inscruitinable mysteries which envelop brides and women kind in general. But June it is, though of course, there are many exceptions to the rule. As one contemplates, the hymeneal procession through June, especially the brid»es since the bride grooms have no importance, one is amazed at their blissful ignorance. What they do not know is staggeringly huge. They do not seem to know that their wedding day, whether in June or not, is occurring in the sign of Mars. World wars impend. It does not enter their pretty heads that that man Mars is a dreadful werson, especially fond of bride grooms. They do not know how tough the New Deal has made it for newly-weds. The taxes they must figure out, hidden and attacking ‘unawares or coming in broad daylight. They blithely ’ ignore the uncertainties that attend any job with a theorist in Washington planning their lives for them, While we doubt whether June brides or other brides ponder much on the contingencies that attend “twain of one flesh,’ as the Good ‘Book puts it, still older folk know that mischevious Old Man Pan lurks in the forests of wedlock. He takes nothing away, but he often deposits at intervals, ‘hostages to fortune,’ that cannot ‘be waived away airly. They stay and they grow every year. Their demands grow in geometric proportion ‘to their size. In the Golden Age these hostages were assets, but under the new dispensation, or economy, they are liabilities. Stll they bring deeper joys to compensate for the ephemeral joys of June. The dely-ing into the hope chest for all the ‘brand new ‘things, handwrought many of them, and putting the new nest smartly to rights, a year from now no doubt will give way to more® mundane occupations, heralded to the neighbors on the clothesline. Some girls choose between marriage and higher education. Whether this is a real choice or not is doubtful. For marriage long ago should have ‘been elevated to the Same class as college learning. It is different, more difficult and far: more thorough. (No degrees are e@nferred but by degrees partners ‘in it do learn many: things not taught in universities. The man learns that a little pucker, even a tiny one, in the bride’s fair brow, may portend something far more devastating than thunderheads rolling over the Sierra Buttes. Or it may be the woman learns that her man’s digestion, which once was (perfect is deteriorating, and such. She does, if she is wise. For the institution of higher education known as marriage, in” some states, there are preliminary courses, But ,whether graduates from these. preliminary schools actually get.on better when it comes to the test than those who enter boldy, ignorantly and_ Iblissfully into wedlock, is debatable. well hesitate to ask a girl to join him in the jaunt to the altar, if ‘he believed the girl knew much more about the institution than he. Proud young men hate to humble themselves once the wedding day is past. And again, many a young man fondly dreams of training his bride himself. He objects to entering. wedlock an ignoramus, while his. wife holds a degree cum laude in all matters pertaining thereto. He enVisions himself forever at the foot of the class, with but two in the class, But regardless of the times, the politics the social and economic outlook, June brings its brides, trained or untrained, and also bride grooms who appear in. the church to make the ‘proper re: sponses. And perhaps it is just as well that the happy pair do not see as far head as their elders do, nor look long on world affairs and hesitate, nor view the’ political field with timidity and alarm, nor regard their job tenure with fore. , boding. Rather they seem to enter marriage with a gay abandon, a careless rapture, and-near madness. We suspect this has always been the case since the days primmuch as oldsters may croak and disapprove. After all it is their life. We might as well let them live he is ordered to do so by a contcurmembers of the Ladies Missionary Society with a lawn party and picnic dinner next Wednesday afternoon.

Cole, who died by. his own hand last Saturday at his home in Pasadena, for the past two years had ‘been afflicted with intestinal ulcers, and the pain and suffering finally proved more than he could bear. He leaves in this city, a sister, Mrs. Alma (Cole Sheldon, who resides on “Nevada street, a daughter, Mrs. Stuart Williams of ‘Reno, and a son, Fred C€. Cole of Pasadena. His nep. . hew is H. Ward Sheldon of this city. For many years Thomas F. Cole was a director in the Phelps Dodge Mining Corporation, one of the largest copper operators, if not the largest in the world. Prior to coming west he was the presideft of the Oliver Iron company which was the ore producing company for U. ,8. Steel, After his arrival in Arizona he organized the Calumet & Arizona company, another huge mining cor-. poration which for years has played a large role in jworld copper production, Cole controlled, either by purchase or lease, the lower Willow Valley mines consisting of the Posey, Bell Fontaine, _Jackson, Independent, the Henessey, ‘Norton, Compton and others. and also several mines in the Gold Flat area including the New England and the Chicago. Owing largely to his ill health exploraton and development of his mine interests in the Nevada City area were delayed from time to time’ but it is now believed that ‘under the management of his son, Fred Q. Cole, prospecting by diamond. drilling, and if indications are propitious, development work, will shortly be undertaken.

Only other winner of a CASCADE WATER DEMANDED BY LETTER WRITER Nevada City, June 5, 1939 To the Editor of the Nugget: There has been much discussion by individuals and some civic bodies in regard to the water question. In regard to the Cascade ditch or the ‘canal I ‘would like to state ever since the Canada Hill, reservoir was built the city has had Cascade water. Re‘cently the city board has changed it over to the canal water, which was done unknown to the citizens of the town. The people of the city were always satisfied with the Cascade water. There was no reason whatever to make a change. The citizens want the Cascade water returned to them. In asking for the return of this water they are asking for what has been taken from them. The Cascade is a beautiful stream of clear cold water which is always ‘welcomed by the people as a satisfying drink. The city buys water for the Cascade Hill reservoir through dry season, After the rains it is all free water from Little Deer Creek. The people of Nevada City pay have what they honestly deserve, the Cascade water. If it is necessary a mass meeting should {be called to thrash it out. ‘One that knows the water. Yours truly, 2 W. S.

Burson of Ventura county declared today, as the economy bloc of the state legislature continued its successful fight to prevent Governor Olson piling new taxes on Californians. : “Governor Olson’s tax program is purely ‘political. There is not one iota of justification for his attempt to inflict fixty three million dollars new taxes on the people,” Burson said. . “The best proof of this is the repeated failure of the governor or his department heads to furnish the legislature with any plan ‘for spending the desired increased taxes,’’ he con_ tinued. “The legislators repeatedly have asked what the money would be spent for. So far, the governor has refused to answer. The only conclusion we can make is that he wants the money to build up a political matical jobs.”’ Although U. S.
