PAGE SIX " Nevada City Nugget 305 Broad. Street. Phone 36 Printed and PubA Legal Newspaper, as defined by statute. lished at Nevada City. Pre te and SA NDEROON jo Publishers Published semi-weekly, Monday and Friday, at Nevada City, California, and entered as mail matter of the second class in the postoffice at Nevada City, under Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. SUBCRIPTION RATES Nevada county e Wr UNItGd: States.. a One year, in Outside Nevada county, THE PAY STREAK By H. M. L. A few days ago the city eouncil discussed @ bad ‘‘thank-ye-marm— crosing lower Broad Street, and also an iron.fence that wobbled strangely in its job of enclosing the city library. The Nugget mentioned these THE PAY DAY SPECIAL EDITION This is the week of pay days. Few peoplle realize that the pay days of the twin cities are assuming larger proportions every month, that proportionately as the pay day distribution of wages and salaries increases, the twin cities will grow. At the moment they have grown to the point where housing conditions are entirely inadequate to the demand. In other words our suit of clothes no longer fits. Buttons are flying off and seams are parting. We need far visioned men with money to build us houses above ground and others to go after the yellow metal below ground. This edition marks an experiment on the part of the Nevada City Nugget. A-large number of advertisers, who have faith i nthe future, who have faith in their home towns, and who realize that the best is yet to come, have joined the Nugget in making this issue the success that it is. We believe there is as much news in the advertisements of this issue as there is in the news columns themselves and we invite our readers to give these advertisments their-special_attention— There are opportunities for profit in all of them. OUR HIGH SCHOOL The Nevada City High School needs an auditorium. It needs it more than anythoing else. It should have a place for indoor: sports such as basketball. It should have a place for great school rallies, such as other high schools in this state have. . The auditorium is needed for public gatherings with students and their parents, for graduation ceremonies, for entertaining and hearing eminent men and women when they visit Nevada City, for presenting school plays, for musicals and recitals of high school band and orchestra. Aside from the many uses the high school would make of an auditorium, the people of Nevada City need an auditorium at the high school, where lecturers from the University of California can be invited to come during the winter season, where public concerts may be given, where Memorial Day may be solemnly observed, where Armistice Day programs may be given. It would cost so little, comparatively, to build a plain, substantial auditorium, that we believe any public spirited organization in Nevada City, which would sponsor i carry through a campaign for that purpose to a successtu. sue. There is hardly a high school in the entire state which does not have an auditorium and many of them have swimming pools. The architectural division of the State Department of Education will supply plans for an auditorium suited to a community of this size without cost and planned by experts in that line. There are some in this community who look with complaceny upon the fact that the per pupil cost of the Nevada City High school, $114.00 per student, is the lowest in the state. We do not share that satisfaction. If the per pupil cost is low, the pupil is receiving less in the way of education and preparation for his life work than the students in other schools. ---Fhere is-hardly-a high school that doés not offer those students who have no prospect or intention of attending a university, something in the way of vocational training. And eighty p er cent of high school students do not attend college. On the whole, we believe the low cost per pupil in our high school is nothing of which to boast. Times may have changed since we w ent to school, but we still hold to the old fashioned notion that no particular honor attaches to the foot of the class. ~ Some one must occupy that post, of course, but God help those who become resigned to it, or, worse, find satisfaction in it. BOY SCOUTS _. A meeting of representative men of this city got together Monday night and pledged themselves anew to advance and prosper the Boy Scout Movement in this city. No one can justly estimate the good this organization of the nation’s boys has done. It reaches from the present into the generations to come. There is the immediate benefit that comes to the boy. All the lore that the school does not teach, of special interest to boys, and even to the boy’s fathter who retains a little of the boyhood dreams, may be acquired by every boy in the organization in his march from Tenderfoot to Eagle Scout. Then there is the benefit reflected in a higher quality of citizenship, when the Scout becomes a man. Finally there is the richer and finer background offered the boys whose fathers were scouts, and so on, from one generation to the next generation, a beneficent circle rolling up splendid traditions and treasures of kindly humanity,— _ patriotism, and leadership for the future. . No one can estimate the value of the Boy Scout movement. ; W.

One of his hounds started a jackrabbit and gave chase. The dog caught the jackrabbit, and, as is the way with a greyhound, tossed the rabbit into the air. A duck flying low, between ponds, crashed into the jackrabbit in the air. Both fell to the ground dead. This gentleman entered the office of a Sacramento newspaper, exhibited the dead jackrabbit, the dead duck, and the grey hound. He did not expect to be believed, but in a long life of probity and honor, he was not doubted. It happened once, but like Halley’s Comet, it is likely to be a long time before it happens again. o-—— SOFT FOR THE MULE BAKERSFIELD (UP) One of J. Doyle’s mujes got plain tired.

In a general report summarizing findings of the committee and pointing out that the state faced a deficit of $50,000,000, the committee said: “Tf public expenditures are not kept within public ability to pay, the inevitable result is bankruptcy, and public bankruptcy will result in a paralysis of necessary governmental functions and a general governernmental coliapse. GUARD CALIFORNIA “Symptons of this condition are already making their appearance in other parts of our country and we must not let them appear in California. We feel that out duty, therefore, is to lend every effort to: the drastic. retrenchment. To shift burdens to county or other governmental units is not to reduce the cost of government, and our remerely commendations will not, we believe, result in shifting any present state costs to local units.* “Even if all of our proposed economies are effected, it still wili be impessible to blame the budget with revenues.There is . exis ng not an even chance of approximating 2 ball aneed budget unless the people are oe to cut the: fixed educational costs of the state and to utilize highway revenues to pay the interest and
redemption on state highway bonds. FIXED CHARGES, THE BARRIER “We can open the doors of our prisons, nor close our state hospitals fer the insane and handicapped persons. We can not entirely eliminate our courts and certain executive and administrative functions. Fixed charges. in state government at the present time constitute a barrier to complete retrenchment and have limited the scope to our recommendations. not In explaining the financial condition of the state, the committee report pointed out that ‘‘during the past 70 years expenditures have increased over 14,000 per cent while the population has increased only 1,400, per cent.” In other words governmental expenditures have increased just 10 times as rapidly as the increase in population. “It is interesting to note in this connection,’’ the report said, ‘‘that our state indebtedness has increased 2,200 per cent since 1910. It was then approximately $5,000,000, and now it is approximately $140,000,000. These figures do not include the debts incurred by local governmental subdivisions.”’ —_o— THAT TIRED FEELING SACRAMENTO, (UP) On a recent warm afternoon an exclusive United Press survey of the. state senate showed the following: 15 empty seats; six senatorial heads nodding sleepily; three senators gazing at the ceiling and one out the window, and 14 trying to look ‘interested in the speech being made. a ee eet Spring Is Here --DRIVE A NEWLY PAINTED CAR Look Better .. feel better.. drive a newly painted car and get in step with the 1933 prosperity parade!
