TO MARK DEDICATION OF AIRPORT BY CACHET The Nevada City Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring a cachet on July 4th, at which. time it is expected the new Nevada City airport is to be dedicated. This is a comparatively new fad and has been taken up very extensively by many stamp collectors. W. H. Griffiths, secretary of the local Chamber of Commerce, has been receiving cachets for some time and it is expected that there will be hundreds of these letters mailed here to receive the cachet from this new airport. % Gerald Hogan, student of pharmacy at the University of California, returned home Wednesday for his days spent in Sacramento. summer vacation. take . : 3 t A prize is to Carl Tobiassen is) and the with ard, money parade-cost too much no adequate return to the funds.

SKI CLUB Was a discussion fithe club and it was the concensus of opinion that there should be a meetingof mittees from the Valley Nevada City chambers with cutive committee of the Ski ‘plan for this building immediately. It was recognized that the $1200 insurance money, received following the burning of the old club house, was not sufficient to complete the building and methods of raising funds must be considered. AIRPORT PLANS Regarding the airport, it was determined to appeal to Congressman Harry L. Englebright, in an effort to speed completion. Conflicting re ports of the conditions under which work will proceed on this enterprise, were made. Former Mayor Bennetts had been assured that the airport will be completed, but as regards to funds and the time when work will be resumed, he had no information. Attention was called by Mr. Uren to reports in several of the metropolitan newspapers that an entirely new method will be used, namely, communities must supply the labor while Federal funds'will be available for materials, It was admitted, however, that no official communication to-this effect had been received by the city officials. and business HOUSHK of the house There nancing of Ski comGrass and the execlub to * George H.
