Thoughtful Americans might well pause, however, and reflect on the warnine by President Ralph Cooper Hutchinson of Washington and Jefferson College that the days of the so-called independent colleges are numbered if present trends Forecasting elimination of these institutions within fifty years, Dr. Hutchinson said: “The reasons for this are obvious. These colleres are supported through gifts from the surplus of individuals, and this surplus, although earned, is now being taxed away from individuals’. _ He -=scerted that funds raised by “‘confiscatory taxation’”’ ye were ing used to create “unnecessary and enormously exlearning.” If Government pays the bills, he continued, Government will dictate the nature of subjects to be taught. ‘‘Nowhere in the vorld were universities so free of political domination as in Germany when this system was instituted,’’ he said, “but when Fascism rose in Germany, these supposedly free institutions were the first to be subjugated.’’—-Contributed.

Kilborn Lake Scout Camp. will again be a busy place this winter according to reservations coming in at Tahoe Area scout headquarters. Leland Smith, local camp chairman, reports requests for use of the lodge for snow sports from six San Francisco bay groups. Reservations for scouts of troops and districts of this council are rapidly being completed. ’ Increased interest in numbers from ' outside groups as well as local scouts is evident and probably partly due to a new merit badge’in skiing available to first class scouts. Information bulletins regarding Tahoe Council winter camp December 27-31 have been placed in the hands of local scoutmasters and the committeemen. Kilborn Lake and Camp Pahatsi have reached a national recognition for an outdoor para_ @ise for both winter and summer scout activities. ‘ ; The steady growth of Tahoe area council over the period of the last 12 years reached its largest numistered scouts and cubs on its rolls. Twelve years ago there were only 250 scouts in 11 troops, (Now there are 22 troops and six cub packs. New troops are being organized at Alleghany and Bowman and new cub packs are being organized at Downieville and’ Alleghany. Nationally scouting is reaching about one out of 7 boys and young men from 9 to 21 years of age. Tahoe area council is reaching about one out of five’ for the same age group and about one out of 2 1-2. for ages 9 to 14. Lack of adult leadership is the problem which prevents reaching more boys. Upon the shoulders of the scoutmaster, cubmaster and their assistants rests the responsibility of conducting the scouting program. The councils job with its committeemen is to help and assist in every way possible those fine men giving direct leadership to the youth of out communities. The excellent record of Tahoe council can be improved with the interest of more adult leadership. SPRING HILL PROPERTY About $10,000 was-spent in erecting new modern buildings at the Spring Hill mines northeast of Grass Valley. About 15 men are employed ‘ber recently as noted in a report to the regional office showing 625 regin this newly reconditioned property.

First thing is, we looses-our jobs an’ can’t get us new ones; afore long our kale kives out an’ we gits desperate. Then comes a idee. Now, we owns timber land in the high Sierras,-which we has _ never . saw, so we concludes to go up thar an’ give it the onct over. This we does an’ finds our holdin’s consists of a hundred acres of first growth manzanity, which is the: crookedest wood in the world, an’ well night the toughest; an’ a adjoinin’ stand of the purtiest red wood you ever clapt eyes on. The idee takes a shape. ‘Thout wastin’. no time, we gits busy. an’ Burbanks ’em—-mixes the j. breed, an’ afore you could say ‘Jack Robinson” we has produced acres an’ acres of the grandest timber in '. California; tall and straight and big it were, like redwood is, ‘and hard same as is manzanita. We is on the,’ right track now, an’ knows it. Well, them big trees grows: like mushrooms on a murky day, so we hires a couple of fallers an’ cuts ’em down, Then we builds us thirty miles of double ‘barrel, two way V flume an’ shoots our logs down to the mill. I’m tellin’ you, when the mill hands shunts them big timbers back up the flume an’ we spreads ’em out on the hillside to dry, we sure has something! Thar they be, ‘all of a size; three hundred feet long, five inches thick, seven foot wide, straight as strings, hard as the rock of Gibber’s altar, sufface four side an everything. We gloats fur a spell, an’ then gits on with the job. After which :we sets back to wait results. We hasn’t long. to wait; right ‘away —most, that ornery manzanita’ strain gets in its work an’ afore the week is out, them big planks start to twist an’ curl like all tarnation. All of a sudden like, they turns into goshawful corkscrews, an’ we knows the iddee is a whing-dinger. We then takes time out, an’ goes down to the city to celebrate. Next day we lays up for repairs, an’ the day after that one, we fforms a clost up corporation, invents a trade mark, an’ puts our product on the market. Well sir, we been doin’ a whale of business ever since, sellin’ our patent—-Sun Twist—spiral stair case fur use in light houses, capitol domes’ an’ other such like structures; which is numerous, Manzanita sure has done.BilF an’ I many a’good turn, so if you has a patch of the same, an’ ain’t aimin’ to ise it none, we'll.take it off your hands at your own figgers, an’ be ‘mighty glad of the chanct, we will by gum! An’ just be rememberin’ stranger, that ‘adversity has a use; Bill an’ me has proved that conclusive. . “Private Property—No Trespassing” signs for sale at the Nugget Office. CALENDAR save.
