Did you. know there was a San
Francisco Street in North San Juan?
Neither did we, until a few days
ago. Now ‘if there’s only a North San
Juan Street in San Francisco the
. picture will be complete.
The other day we saw an interepting article by a student of politieal history who proclaimed that
the biggest defect in the American
political structure was the method
of selecting presidents. He believed
that the mammoth political conventions represented politicians; not the
people as,-a-whole. Reviewing our
fragmentary knowledge of American
history, it does seem to be true that
the outstanding leaders among our
presidents have been notable
ceptions to a dull rule.

Adding greatly to the colorful
spectacle were stunts of the Grass

game and occupied idle time between

BLAKE ASKS GV
CHAMBER FOR
TRAFFICHELP
“This immediate area is averaging a traffic accident a day. Between
now and December 31, 1946, 1500
persons will be killed in automobile
accidents in California. A proportion of this number may well be our
neighbors.”’
Such were the opening statements
of Captain Joseph Blake of the California Highway Patrol in a plea for
co-operation before the Grass Valley Chamiber of Commerce at their
noon luncheon at the Bret Harte
Inn yesterday.
“The Highway Patrol is working
around the clock to hekp correct the
situation, but public education and
co-operation must be manifested at
once to stop the ever increasing
traffic accident totals,’ said Captain
Blake, who for 23 years has been a
member ofthe State Highway Patrol. >
It is the puwhlic that is paying both

and indirectly through
for charitable hospital cases and a mounting insurance rate.

and closing time. The hgurs of 9
till 5:30 met with considerable approval but action was tabled pending
a more representative poll of merchants. Many thought it would be
better to wait until January first
before any change should be: made.
Action on the local hospital situation will probably take place in
the near future when interested parties will meet with hospital owners
in an effort to work out ‘a program:
wherein existing and potential hospital facilities will be ‘used before
new construction plans are thought
of.
Dr. Daniel Hirseh received the
commendation of the chamber and
a round of applause from the members present for his excellent work

DECLARES SUPPORT .
OF VALLEY GRILL
After a Nevada County Employers Council committee
conferred separately with officials of
e Culinary Workers
Union, Mrs. Lola Richmond, and employees of the Valley
Grill, Downey Clinch, council president, stated that the employers had decided upon a policy of unequivocal support of
Mrs. Richmond's stand.
“The evidence shows,” said Clinch, speaking for the
Council, ‘that Mrs. Richmond's labor policy is fair, liberal and
honest. She and her employees are being subjected to unfair
and unmerited persecution. The Nevada County Employers
Council heartily urges all citizens to patronize the
Grill.’
