Depart'ment of Labor, at the request. of the State and Provincial Health Auithorey, down to and Mrs. . ities of North America in accordance with: the Congressional Resolution of . May 18, 1928, which authorized the President to proclaim May Day as . Child Health Day. Slogan: The health of the child is the power of the nation. ~ Objectives: To bring to each community. The importance to the child’s health, development, and well ‘being . throughout life, the proper food, rest, exercise, medical care, ‘and protection against disease; the ways of informing parents and others how child health may be safeguarded; and the means whereby such safeguards may be’ made available for all children. A congressional resolution in 1928 authorized the President of the United States to proclaim May Day as Child Health Day. In. Nevada City the various stores are showing health: posters and emmhasizing various phases of child fhealth. The Parent Teachers Association. members are placing bottles about the business district in the hopes people will drop ‘pennies in them to assist with the local milk fund for children in the elementary school. The PTA has supplied milg to 20 children each month this school term which amounts to $12 per month. The association funds are running low and they wish to continue giving milk to these children. The Washington grammar school is preparing to give the Riddle Health Play for the purpose of establishing a health fund for the school. D., A. DeNeal, deputy sheriff and field manager at the Nevada City airport, has 36 students training on the local airport. The youths are from Nevada City and Grass Valley and two have progressed to. solo fliers. ». The south boundary of the port is being fenced.

The. economy bloc committee comBe posed of five dem-! ocrats and five re-. # publicans, did a¥§ fairly good job in the writer’s opinion. It was not all smooth sailing by any means and at times as the amendments were voted on upon the floor the vote was extremely close. A cd : total of ninety two A. G. Thurman amendments to the budget were made. These 92 athendments after their adoption, plus other cuts previously made resulted in a total cut in the budget of about seven million dollars. This in addition to’ the $73,000,000 relief item which was taken entirely out.of the budget. The relief item will be submitted in a new relief bill which will be presented shortly. And again I ; wish to say ‘to the people on relief that the legislature will vote them ample funds. The assembly completed _ their . historic little town, Marysville, . work on the budget at about 11:14 p. m. last Friday and we predict that, the budget in its present form will . ‘e passed on to the senate during . the early part of the present week. . Whether that body will make addi. . tional cuts remains to be seen. How-! ever from what we have heard from . members of -that ‘body, it is: almost} . cer tain ‘that additional reductions will be made. . Your ‘assemblyman’s second bill, passed the senate last week without an opposin& vote. The bill, which has} to do with the right of privacy in ad. vertising matters, was handled by Senator Jesse Mayo in the wppe house, , Due ‘to the lengthy budget hearing . but few bills have been cps up in. the lower house during he past! week, and the total bills on arp daily . calendar last Friday numbered 451. As a result of the heavy calendar, the assembly hereafter will be in. ‘session every week day including . Saturday for the balance of the ses‘sion. Among the bills which should pass during the present week is one which will create a new fair district for Mariposa county which at present is combined with (Merced county district. The alien fishing bill. which we referred to last week in this column still remains in committee but we predict -it will secure the necessary votes to pass out of committee shortly. The last committee vote stood 7 to 6 for a ‘“‘do pass’? recommendation. It requires eight committee votes. The assembly \bill which swould require children in all elementary grades of the public schools to salute the flag will probably come up for a vote this week. The writer believes that all children as well as adults should salute our flag but we are opposed to compulsory legislation to force anyone to salute ‘Old Glory’’. Such sompulsory legislation is too much on the order of Hitlerism. Let our boys and girls salute the flag because they love it and the nation it represents. Let’s salute the flag because we love it and not because we are compelled to. At last Friday’s session of the assembly your assemblyman was happy to introduce a resolution honoring five veteran printers who competed in a type setting contest in Sacramento on that day. These old time printers came from New York, Loufsiana, Washington, Kansas, and Wisconsin. The oldest of the five, Benjamin Franklin White, aged 94 won the contest. He hails from New York, The youngest of the group was aged 76 years. One of the good old customs which has prevailed in the lower house since time immemorial has been eliminated. By a vote of the members ‘st Friday, friends of legislators can no longer sit beside them at their desks. Heretofore, the wives and the friends of the assemblymen have al‘ways been permitted to sit in chairs placed beside the desks of the members. Even lobbyists, upon invitation fhave had the same. privilege. But the new rule stops this and the wives and friends now will have a place re. ing demonstrations { . ceremonies served for them at the rear of the Clamper Slogan For Celebration at San Juan Is. “Fiat Lux” Turning on electric lights and power by the P. G. & E. in North San Juan, long anticipated. in that ‘was completed today, according to Dan _ Stewart. Now the people throughout Nevada County, and wherever E Clampus Vitus has a chapter are eagerly looking forward to the great celebration which the Clampers willl stage Saturday, May 1%. On that day delegations of Clampers, from San _. Francisco, Sacramento, Auburn, Placerville and other cities will arrive in full regalia. to play their traditional. part in a heart-warming program like those of the early days, under the direction of Grand ‘Noble Humbug Clyde Gwin of the William Bull Méet chapter, E. C. V., Deer Creek Diggin’s. “Fiat Lux’ is the slogan adopted for the celebration, which, translated means: ‘Let there be light’’. That this is also the motto of the University of California, is perhaps no co-, It is suspected the great and ancient order; of E ‘Clampus Vitus, which existed several years before the state university was created, generously suggested that motto to the new institution of learning. With parades, dances, games and other attractions, the North San Juan people will throw open their little city and “be; “hosts to the world’. Although Gwin has not completed. his. plans yet, he expects to have everything in readiness for thé event. With the coming of lights, North San Juan has taken another step toward its manifest destiny as one of . the most progressive and liveliest little mining towns in the district. incidence. P. T. A.

She was thrown clear of the car and rolled 100 feet down the mountain side.

The assembly completed _ their . historic little town, Marysville, . work on the budget at about 11:14 p. m. last Friday and we predict that, the budget in its present form will . ‘e passed on to the senate during . the early part of the present week. . Whether that body will make addi. . tional cuts remains to be seen. How-! ever from what we have heard from . members of -that ‘body, it is: almost} . cer tain ‘that additional reductions will be made. . Your ‘assemblyman’s second bill, passed the senate last week without an opposin& vote. The bill, which has} to do with the right of privacy in ad. vertising matters, was handled by Senator Jesse Mayo in the wppe house, , Due ‘to the lengthy budget hearing . but few bills have been cps up in. the lower house during he past! week, and the total bills on arp daily . calendar last Friday numbered 451. As a result of the heavy calendar, the assembly hereafter will be in. ‘session every week day including . Saturday for the balance of the ses‘sion. Among the bills which should pass during the present week is one which will create a new fair district for Mariposa county which at present is combined with (Merced county district. The alien fishing bill. which we referred to last week in this column still remains in committee but we predict -it will secure the necessary votes to pass out of committee shortly. The last committee vote stood 7 to 6 for a ‘“‘do pass’? recommendation. It requires eight committee votes. The assembly \bill which swould require children in all elementary grades of the public schools to salute the flag will probably come up for a vote this week. The writer believes that all children as well as adults should salute our flag but we are opposed to compulsory legislation to force anyone to salute ‘Old Glory’’. Such sompulsory legislation is too much on the order of Hitlerism. Let our boys and girls salute the flag because they love it and the nation it represents. Let’s salute the flag because we love it and not because we are compelled to. At last Friday’s session of the assembly your assemblyman was happy to introduce a resolution honoring five veteran printers who competed in a type setting contest in Sacramento on that day. These old time printers came from New York, Loufsiana, Washington, Kansas, and Wisconsin. The oldest of the five, Benjamin Franklin White, aged 94 won the contest. He hails from New York, The youngest of the group was aged 76 years. One of the good old customs which has prevailed in the lower house since time immemorial has been eliminated. By a vote of the members ‘st Friday, friends of legislators can no longer sit beside them at their desks. Heretofore, the wives and the friends of the assemblymen have al‘ways been permitted to sit in chairs placed beside the desks of the members. Even lobbyists, upon invitation fhave had the same. privilege. But the new rule stops this and the wives and friends now will have a place re. ing demonstrations { . ceremonies served for them at the rear of the Clamper Slogan For Celebration at San Juan Is. “Fiat Lux” Turning on electric lights and power by the P. G. & E. in North San Juan, long anticipated. in that ‘was completed today, according to Dan _ Stewart. Now the people throughout Nevada County, and wherever E Clampus Vitus has a chapter are eagerly looking forward to the great celebration which the Clampers willl stage Saturday, May 1%. On that day delegations of Clampers, from San _. Francisco, Sacramento, Auburn, Placerville and other cities will arrive in full regalia. to play their traditional. part in a heart-warming program like those of the early days, under the direction of Grand ‘Noble Humbug Clyde Gwin of the William Bull Méet chapter, E. C. V., Deer Creek Diggin’s. “Fiat Lux’ is the slogan adopted for the celebration, which, translated means: ‘Let there be light’’. That this is also the motto of the University of California, is perhaps no co-, It is suspected the great and ancient order; of E ‘Clampus Vitus, which existed several years before the state university was created, generously suggested that motto to the new institution of learning. With parades, dances, games and other attractions, the North San Juan people will throw open their little city and “be; “hosts to the world’. Although Gwin has not completed. his. plans yet, he expects to have everything in readiness for thé event. With the coming of lights, North San Juan has taken another step toward its manifest destiny as one of . the most progressive and liveliest little mining towns in the district. incidence. P. T. A.
