(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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

program to be presented from the

YEARS WEDDED
Mr. and Mrs: William H, Wright of

away since then. Some of them are,
the late Riley Williams, and Mrs.
Williams, of Gold Flat; the late Mr.
Jewett and Mrs. Jewett,. who lives
in, northern Nevada .City; Mr. and
Mrs. Thomas Penrose.
Mr, and Mrs. Wright are-hale and

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
