SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year (In Advance) G Seteieieioinieiieioieien 7 [ Just Wonnber in I wonder if good citizens, Though dark earth's skies may be,Will follow through these troubled days The Star of Liberty; We need not fear the foes without— Their folly and their sin, If we can guard the homeland gates And bind the foes within. I wonder if any sequence of events, could be more fittingly arranged than was the succession of special weeks and days whose observance we but recently honored. Good Citizenship Week, Music Weeki and Mother's Day, are linked together as by a law divine, and in their observance, we are reminded that integrity, beauty and love can never die and that their powers for good will eventually right the wrongs committed by intolerance, dishonor, greed’ and hate. Training for good citizenship begins in the home and under the supervision of wise and thoughtful parents, whose concepts of right living are established upon sure and steadfast foundations. Musical appreciation, like the buildine of character. begins early in the child's life: it is fostered by the songs his mother sings, and by the lilting bits of verse she encourages him to learn. Ignorance of good music is no longer to be condoned; the noblest and most beautiful compositions of world music, is brought into our homes by the magic of radio: schools and colleges conduct courses in musical appreciation. The enobling and refining influences of this sublime art, are now available to everyone. Mother's Day is certainly the most beautiful of our annual observances. It comes to us with tender miemories of the past, or joyous reunions for the present. It comes to remind us that in the unbroken home and ‘under the guidance of loving parents, good citizenship is established in the hearts and minds of those who. in time, will tend the home fires of Liberty and Peace and gude the destiny of a great and favored nation—Our America. The epitome of good citizenship is €xpressed in the Athenian Oath: . have quoted it upon previous occasions: . shall use it once again: substituting for the words, “‘our city,” the words—Our America. “We will never bring disgrace to this Our America, by any act of cowardice or ever desert our suffering comrades in the ranks; we will fight for the ideals and sacred things of Our America, both alone and with many; we will revere and obey Our America’s laws and do our best to incite like respect and reverence in those about us, who are prone to annul or set them at naught: we will strive unceasingly to quicken the public sense of American duty. Thus. in all ways, we will transmit Our America not less but greater, better and more beautiful, than it was transmitted to us.” Uncle Silas says: “‘Great war lords are pinning iron crosses upon the breasts of their national heroes; they are also branding the hearts of distracted women and children with the iron cross; and they are binding the cross of iron upon the backs of their own and succeeding generations. It shall never happen here.” —A. MERRIAM CONNER. . A Story In Silver ee. We don’t see many silver dollars any more. They used to have a good comforting touch to the palm of the hand, and a pocketful of silver was a fine thing to have. But silver dollars were kind of unwieldly, and by common consent they dropped out of fashion. The other day, though, a Midwestern company brought silver dollars back into circulation for a brief day of glory. It paid its whole payroll in silver dollars, in-order to watch the way that the industrial payrol! circulated all through. the community. The results were enlightening for all concerned. As silver dollars passed across store counters, from hand to’ hand . and pocketbook to pocketbook, the community gained an entirely new. conception of the important part that the industrial dollar plays in bringing prosperity and general well-being into a town where a factory's located. _ Whether the plant’s wages are paid in silver or paper ‘money, the money circulates widely and does a lot of good. ‘And when the example of a single town is repeated and multiplied all over the country, a new concept arises and a basic truth is emphasized: In the community or the nation as a _whole, when industry Prospers everyone prospers. — Con tributed. 107 Mill Street Nevada County Photo Center PHONE 67 Portraits, Commercial Photography, 8 Hour Kodak Finishing, Old Copies, ‘Prorocrapner Enlarging and Framing, ; Kodaks and Photo Supplies, ‘ Grass Valley Movie Cameras and Films __ SUBSCRIBE FOR THE NEVADA CITY NUGGET WITH YOUR ASSEMBLYMAN ‘*REAPING THE SCOOP THURMAN At the State Capitol Your legislators are back at the WHIRLWIND‘ o state capitol after a recess of some two and.a half months during which time several committees have been investigating relief, taxation, proposed economies in government and other matters of * vital interest ,to the people of the state. : Your assemblyman served on the: special economy and efficiency committee and also THURMAN attended hearings conducted by the joint senate and assembly relief and unemployment committee.

DUNLAP (United Press Staff Correspondent) SACRAMENTO, May 16.—(UP)— Many questions were answered for California citizens when results of the primary election were added up and an anaylsis made of the rather surprising vote. For one thing, even the Roosevelt supporters did not quite expect to run up a 7 to 1 advantage over John Garner, or a 3 to 1 sweep over the entire Democratic field. Republicans were pleasantly surprised that 42 per cent of the party registration would take the trouble to vote for the single delegation. They interpreted it as a new surge of strength, a protest against the . third term issue. . There were some discouraging sur. prises too. Promoters of the ham and eggs pension plan must have been disappointed that their million votes of six months dwindled away. ‘uv less than 100,000. This does not mean that a definite ham and eggs Xlan on the November ballot would not get ailarge vote, but it indicates that dissension within the pensior movement makes it harder for the leaders to do the dictating. Another surprise package was the poor showing of the Patterson forees, far back in the ruck with barely 50,000 votes. This vote was a showdown for the CIO and leftwing forces who opposed the presi. will it hasten converts to the, other side. The governor is in a _ better position to bargain and ¢an bask in reflected glory of the president. From the governor’s standpoint, it was a timely victory because the state legislature convened today, and November is only speculation until, plenty of criticism and pressure was candidates are named by the na. headed his way from the hostile majtional conventions.

So your legislature is conducting two sessions each day. However, there is little confusion as the two special sessions in one have been well organized. The most important matter which will come up for consideration during the present special sessions will of course be the matter of another relief appropriation. The fact finding relief committee has filed a part of its lengthy report and will file the’ balance of the report later this week, A majority of the legislators appear to favor returning the administration of relief to the counties, with the state furnishing the funds. This was recommended Wy the specias committee referred to aboye. This committee believes that the cost of administration of relief by the counties would not exceed 15 per cent as compared with 25 per cent and more under state administration. It is too early to predict what action will be taken on the various revyenue bills sponsored by the administration but I can say that the majority of the legislators are opposed to increased taxes of any kind.
