MONDAY, MAY, 28, 1934 PAGE FOUR ~> Nevada City Nugget A Legal Newspaper, as defined by statute. Printed and Published at Nevada City. Editor and Publisher Published Semi-weekly, Monday and Friday at Nevada City, California, and entered as mail matter of the second class in the postoffice at Nevada zB City,, under Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year (In Advance) Mount St. Mary’s (Contributed) coma g e i a 1 : Mount Saint Mary's Academy in Grass Valley is a great-. the game population of the national er asset to Nevada and the adjoining counties than many people realize. The yearly expenditure of the Sisters of Mercy amounts to more than $23,000. An account of this size, in any community, effects the entire population, whether business man profesgipnal man or merchant. When the grocer has money, he has more to spend for clothing, or movies, or the new car, or radio, or whether his particular desire may be. The same principle applies all along the line, evczybody profits by money in circulation and all feel the pinch when income is taken away. If for no reason other than a mercenary one, the counties located near Grass Valley should support this institution. The parents of growing children appreciate the value of Mount Saint Mary’s for its moral and educational standards, and today as never before, children need to be well equipped mentally and physically for their battle with the every day world. Our parents, from their meager means, managed to help maintain the Academy that we might enjoy the benefits, surely we shall not fail to do as much for our children. Many firms profit by the maintenance of the Sisters’ Academy. Their expenditure of $46,446 during 1932 and 1933 covers maintenance of buildings, insurance, taxes, fuel, water, gas, electricity, telephone, food, advertising, stationery, shoes and repairs, dry goods, hospital and dental service, drugs, freight and laundry. Mount Saint Mary’s Academy, in common with all institutions, firms and individuals, has felt the depression. It has now become necessary for the Sisters to appeal to the people for financial assistance. They are confident the people will respond to their call for aid and do everything possible to make a success of the sales plan inaugurated by the merchants of Grass Valley and Nevada City. The drawing under the sales plan has been postponed un-. til Saturday, June 23, in order to allow time for the remainder of the tickets to be sold. There are ten valuable prizes offered. Get\your ticket today. Practically every store in Grass Valley and Nevada City has tickets for sale, or they can be secured direct from headquarters, 219 West Main Street, Grass Valley, or The Lace House, 207 Broad Street, Nevada City. . Grandad Comes Back Grandad came back to “‘them thar hills;”’ He'd “‘left ’ém long afore,” To drift around the U.S.A. For fifty years\or more. He cast a cursoty glance about, And every change decried, Then, with a sadly jaundiced eye, He toured the countryside. \ At length the poor al iow returned \ With acrimonius words He couldn’t see the bright spring flowers, Or hear the singing birds. “T couldnt’ find Dad's Gulch,” he snapped, “And sure as . was bo’n,I didn't recognize the place —————— iar the Blue Point channel. Up-! They're callin’ old San Juan!"\ \ “Where's Whisky Diggin’s? Tell\me that,”’ The irate oldster said, \ ‘And where's the hoof defyin’ path\ That down Steep Hollow led? \ There’s nary trace of Dead Horse Flat, \ Shirt Tail an’ Lousy Level; It sure does seem them good old camps \ Has gone plum to the devil!” \ ‘Oh dad,”’ we cried, “don’t feel so blue, We've many a fine town yet; Twin Cities dad, and French Corral, Town Talk and old You Bet. Of course some camps have petered out, But some are roaring still; There’s Downieville, and Goodyear's Bar, Pike too, and Depot Hill.” “Well, mebby so,”” grandad ‘replied, “There's life in Lava Cap; But Jackass Gulch has gone to rot, An’ Mad Mule’s off the map; I guess I'll stitk around a spell An’ swaller my regret, For though some camps has petered out Ther may be good leads yet.”’ And now grandad is well content, Light hearted too, and meek; He's panning out fou: bits per day _ Downrhere on old Deer Creek.

DEER Increased numbers of predatory animals, inadequate winter range, illegal hunting and disease are given as the* principal causes of an 11 per cent decrease in blacktail deer and an eight per cent decrease in mule deer in the 18 national forest of California, according to a report on wild life compiled by Regional. Forester S. B. Show, chief of the California Region, U. S. Forest Service, from observations made last winter by forest rangers. : Measures recommended by the Lrsret Service to conserve the 157,. 000. mule deer and the 95,900 blackitail deer now estimated as a part of forests of California call for a onebuck bag limit for the entire state Cand the protection of forked-horn ; bucks in all districts. Starvation . such as occurred during the severe . winter of 1932-33 because of inadequate winter range can be remedied, according to Show, by the acquisi'tion of private foothill lands within ,and adjoining the national forests ‘and the management of these areas ‘ for game production. It is recombended that the hunting season in district 1 and one-half, be shortened 15 days so as to make it agree with {the season in district 1; also that! the last 15 days be cut off the deer DECREASE SHOWN! Adolphus, Monsieur, ‘“‘The Tiger of hunting season in district 1 ana three-fourths, making the season September 16 to September 30. ' From the best information avail. able by forest officers, 93,960 hunters killed 6,177 blacktails and i 690 mule deer in the national fores-, ts in 1933. Predatory animals are : charged with the killing of over 29,000 deer, or twice as many as-hun-: ters. Since 1927 the number of hun. per cent, while the number hunting within national forests has doubled. { GRAVEL MILL INSTALLED .

By CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN q t Cabbages . I, — ‘The story of David and Goliath has: always held me spellbound, per-— haps the contrast in the physique of the two men, then -today as I again heard the story, my mind went to other heroes of history who have by their spectacular heroism or knowledge, become leaders and rulers in. their respéctive countries—— Napoleon, the Corsican, who nearly ruled the world, Bismark, Gustavus France,’’ Clemenceau, our own Teddy an so on ad infinitum. Somewhere of course, opportunists while others dominated by real ability. What I mean to bring out is that they all got the “breaks’’ almost necessary to success. By this I don’t mean luck, I mean that they had the understanding that their opportunity had arrived and they simply grasped it. The moral is of course that we try to do the same, anyway it is fun even if we miss the grip on time’s forelock. Sometimes personal anecdotes are boresome and are dominated by ego of the teller. With that preface knowing the worst fault of story tellers. I ought to be able to perpetrate a true one. When a boy, I lived in Denmark. We came to the table five times a day for “refreshments of some kind—about seven a. milk and the thick muddy coffee which only chicory can make, twelve noon the dinner consisting of soup, meat, vegetables and desert, then in the summer the afternoon siesta for about an hour.In this hour a boy can find a lot of mischief to be done. One day I went into the gooseberry patch and filled my hat with ripe gooseberries, as I came out from the bushes I saw my aunt coming down I quickly put the hat on my head and nonchalantly faced her. She asked me what I was doing. ‘‘Just walking,’’ I said. Just then she brought her hand down on my head and that sort of personal contract makes gooseberry jam. The culprit stood revealed. Well to go on with the meals, after the siesta there was coffee with a lump of reek sugar in the mouth—-four . o’clock supper, and at seven o’clock GOLD ORE FOR MILLING WANTED tea and sandwiches. Of one day-in a small boy’s life in -Denmark. ‘ In this month of June again the school children, will be let out of school. This wholesale exodus will then these little folks will be playing and going on errands ‘during all parts of the day. It behooves all of us who drive to be'‘tarefull than ever so that the accident roll will be cut to the minimum, and if possible entirely eliminated. It is up to us parerits to instill in the minds of our children, the great danger of crossing busy streets, to do no jay walking at all, always to look in all directions before crossing, never to dodge back and forth in the street and that it is better to run when the road is clear. Let us be especially careful this season and in that way we may Save a life, or the maiming of some little one. Drinking and driving is a deadly threat against safety. Drink if you will, drive only when you are sober. Erik and I Killed a fair sized rattlesnake on the ridge road last week. As are all rattlers; he was a vicious customer, a well heaved Thinking about the episode later, this thought came to the surface. The rattler has the scientific repuimcrease -the™ traffie hazzards. For . : rock soon took the fight out of him. . That's the end j tation of being the fastest striking sanke, yet a rock heaved in comparative slow time cannot be dodged by the reptile. That must be the rea+ son this type of snake is so short lived, .a hatural phenomenon.
