Thinking Out Loud eee Nevada COVERS RICHEST GOLD City Nugget AREA IN CALIFORNIA.. The Nevada City Nugget helps your city and county to grow in population and prosperity. By subscribing to, and advertising in the Nugget, — you help yourself. (BY H. M. L.) “Why doesn’t the Chamber of ‘Commerce do this—do that?’’ Dear sir, or madam, are you a member of . the chamber? If you are a member do you attend the meetings? If you a member do you attend the meetings? If you are a member and do tend the meetings, have you ever proposed to the chamber that it do this—or do that? Do you know that the chamber is very ready and will-. al to consider proposals for the Waacnty betterment, growth and advantage? Is it just possible, dear ‘sir or madam, that you hdve not played your part? Now, tomorrow night in the National Hotel the chamber is celebrating at dinner its silver anniver‘Bary. The chamber is. twentyive years old. It has attained its Majority so to speak and has dem‘onstrated its worth many times as an engine working for the common good of all of us. If you are really interested in having the chamber do things of value for the community, you’ll attend. You'll: find plenty ‘of old friends and neighbors there. You will receive far more than your money’s worth. For the chamber is ‘like a lot of other things in this world. You can take out of it just about what you, put into it. And, if every body unites in putting in, all can take out.a lot. Gradually. public sentiment, as it pertains to the New Deal’s disaffectf ed, is beginning to view Alf Landon tas the nation’s hope of ending the prodigious spending for which President Roosevelt will go down in history, along with those Caesars of old, who entertained and fed the populack, pauperized the country, and‘ eventually lost it to the viril, north-ern barbarians. Only one other President has spent.the people’s money so tremendously, and that was President Wilson, .who spent it in war, which events have now proved have been unjustified. We do not of course, charge all Democratic presidents with a propensity to spend hugely, for land. a to One thing, which in the minds of w=: great many people seems confused, Witoua be clear. It was a Democratic} administration that, through world war, got us into debt. It was . oe Republican administrations which succeeded in pulling us half way out of debt, the world-war debt, and it is a Democratic administration which is again plunging us. headlong-into debt. The process of lend. ing ourselves rich is inevitably to be followed by taxing outselves “poor again. The reason. for the prodigious spending by the~Roosevelt administration is to make~jobs for some 12,000,000 people out of employment. He began his administration with about that many out of work, and at the end of three and one-half years there are still about that many unemployed. Surveyed from this broad vantage ground, the Roosevelt administration has failed ‘' even to approach its objective, and ten billions of dollars for the most part ‘have been wasted. the Viewed from -a_ humanitarian rather than economic standpoint the spending prevented anybody from “ starving to death. That of course will meet with the approval of every true American. In a land of such potentialities and normal plenty as ours, to permit any human being to starve to death, would be a horrible disgrace. But the method of preventing it has been somewhat akin to killing fleas with a shot gun. Money, the people’s money, has been broadcast like wheat. Unfortunately most of it has not been planted where it will grow again. There are exceptions of course. The R. F. C. instituted by the much maligned Herbert Hoover has been a helpful institution, and the money, almost all of it, will return again to the United States treasury. The R. F. C. indeed has been so sound an-instrument in assisting recovery that President Roosevelt did not quite dare to discontinue it, or to deflect it into the wasteful forms of spending that win votes and favors for the Democratic \ there was Grover Clevé-! , and gold Vol. 10, No. 60. ue County Seat Paper NEVADA CITY, pe The COLD Cowie MONDAY, JUNE 8, 1936. LAST ASSEMBLY AT HI PRESENTS STUDENT HONORS Farewell addresses and presentation of general awards were made at the final assembly of the school year held at Nevada City high school on Friday morning. Students and teachers gathered for what may have been the last time in the ‘‘study-hall assembly-room”’ and cared for unfinished business of the 1935-36 school year. Presentation of athletic letters was necessarily postponed due to the lateness of, the shipment of insignias . from the east. These will be mailed to boys who have fulfilled necessary qualifications immediately upon their arrival. School letters, the awarding of which is. based upon points figured from the all-round activities of the individual student, were presented by Principal H. E. Kjorlie. Activities taken into consideration in this award are athletes, cultural, administrative, school service, and musical. The following students received letters: Ruth Curnow, Mervin Doolittle, Arthur Elliott, Fred Garrison, John Harding, Dick Stevens, Walter Warnecke, Ray Widle. This part of the program was followed by farewell and congratulatory addresses by faculty members present, and was closed with. a brief talk by Principal Kjorlie. NEV. CITY BAND PLAYS AT GOLD RUSH IN AUBURN WALK YOUR “HOSSES” ON PINE ST. BRIDGE When ye scribe happened to be rooting through the city ordinances for want of something better to do he found interesting Dit of law information, that might be of some interest to those who are kicking that they can’t make enough money ‘“‘working” on relief. At the same time it. would help control the traffic situation on the bridges of the city. The law has been in effect quite some time, in fact since March 21, 1864, and provides for a fine of not. less than twenty five dollars and not to. exceed one hundred dollars for riding, driving or leading any animal or animals across the Pine, Broad and Main street bridges at a rate of speed faster than a walk. WF The interesting portion is the disposition to be made of the moneys received as fines. It provides that one-half of the fine shall be paid to the person who signs the complaint and the other half to be paid into the city treasury. The only restriction is that the payment of half of the fine cannot ‘be made to an officer; this provision possibly having} been inserted to give the amateur . sleuth a break _in competition with professional policemen. And then again: A fine of from ten to one hundred dollars is provided for the conviction of any person.‘‘who. shall race, run, or} FURIOUSLY drive, or lead any)! animal animals. on the public . H streets or alleys of this city. A more picturesaue word than . “furious’’ could hardly be imag-. ined for use in describing the of. or a fense. Undoubtedly the law has! ibeen strictly observed inasmuch! las no complaint has been filed . . thereunder for many, many Beat! . Nevada City high school’s purple pand was the only band present at the Auburn Gold Rusk 2evival celebration on Saturday and the only band in the entire parade on Sunday. The high school musicians were the only band present at the celebration outside of the Shrine band from Sacramento whiich appeared in a brief concert on Sunday afternoon. The downpour of rain on Saturday was enough to discourage any organizatjon which must appear in neat uniforms and protect their instruments. However, when the Auburn Gold Rush committee phoned and said the show would go On, there was no hesitation onthe part of the local bandsters. Over thirtyfive of the high school musicians undemthe direction of their leader, L. E. Sweeney made the trip. The rain was unceasing throughout the morning, and it was impossible for the band to march, but they gathered in central square under a rather soggy awning and heightened the somewhat dampened spirits of the crowds. Invited to return on Sunday and lead the procession, the band aceepted, and on Sunday morning was given the place of honor at the head of the Gold Rush Revival parade. Citizens and organizations of Auburn treated the local high school band cordially and proved to be very hospitable hosts. The cooperative spirit displayed by the band, was no doubt a’ very substantial boost for the coming Fourth of July celebration in this: city. SWEARS TO COMPLAINT Harold Haughton of Grass Valley, swore to a complaint against R. NIG Bean, of the Gables at Glenbrook on the Nevada City-Grass Valley highway, charging him with battery. Bean appeared in the Nevada City justice court this morning, pleaded not guilty. and demanded a jury CHERRY FIESTA suing a six the program of the North San Juan Cherry ‘NEWS’ ISSUED BY N. SAN JUAN From the Nugget press today is i page newspaper carrying Carnival and Fiesta which will be held Saturday and Sunday, June_13 and 14. The paper was edited and managed by Mrs. Christian Anderson. It deals with the growth, the progress and revival of North San Juan. There are forty advertisin the issue, who believe that this historic mining camp has a right future and have given their cordial support to this celebration by sending to the people of .the Ridge their messages of good will. All in all it is a most creditable edition and Mrs. Anderson is the recipient of many congratulations -upon the result of her work. ‘Ehe North San Juan Cherry carnival and fiesta is an ancient institution dating from the time cherry trees were first\planted there.

Since it is necessary to present an outdoor. program, future concerts will be jdatel later in the season. The band -will appear at a brief program to be presented from the balcony of the National Hotel Tues‘day night at 7:00 p. m. as a part of the Chamber of. Commerce celebration. This is definitely not a substitute for the planned music event of the year and is not being presented to raise funds. LOCAL COUPLE TO CELEBRATE 58 YEARS WEDDED Mr. and Mrs: William H, Wright of Walrath avenue in Nevada City will celebrate their 58th wedding anniversary Wednesday, June 10.

Mr, and Mrs. Wright are-hale and hearty and many a twinkle of the eye and hearty laugh entered their conversation as they old comical and interesting experiences that had occurred during their lifetime. Mrs Wright was born in Alleghany June 20, 1861, while Mr. Wright was born in Marshall, Michigan. coming with his parents first to Sonoma county and then to Downieville when he was two years old. Over . half of their married life has been . spent in Alleghany as they moved . to Nevada City 21 years ago. -Mr. Wright has followed mining practically all his life, retiring several years ago. In speaking of wet seasons he said: ‘A good many go a great deal by the ground hog but he got killed uring the storms of the big winter.’”’ He has seen a lot of’ similar seasons. Several times there has been snow on the ground July 3rd and fourth. He has seen the time he walked two miles over a steep mountain in two feet of snow to a dance, danced all night and returned home at daylight. There will not be a family reunion this.year as all family members can not be present. Mr. and Mrs. Wright have a son, Ws H. Wright, Jr., of Elk Grove; three daughters, Mrs. J. H.
