By H. M. L. Do you remember the old county fairs where we used to have a rollicking good time once a_e year? Where mother gota prize for, her beautiful sewing, or for her preserves? Where father exhibited his pumpkins and fat shoats and often won substantial cash prizes? Where Uncle Ben entered his trotting stallion and walked off with a $500 : award? Yes, of course you remember? You yourself probably won a prize for a ‘purebred shorthorn bull calf and sold the calf at a fancy price besides, and mighty glad you did not have to lead the calf home again. But whether you remember or not, the County Fair is coming back. In fact, in a great many counties in California, it has arrived, and is bigger and better than any of those county fair affairs you saw when you were a youngster in short pants. Nevada county restores the old fair days on Sunday, October 16, and it will continue through Monday and. Tuesday. It will be held in the Memorial Hall, Grass Valley, and adjacent grounds. There will be no horse racing this year, but there will be a horse show that will be very much on a par with the best in (California. The California state legislature is using the money that pari mutuel betting provides, to finance country fairs in the fifty eight counties. The board of fair directors of the Seventeenth District (Nevada County) has $6,000 to spend in premiums. If the fair is well patronized this year and the entire $6,000 is distributed in prizes, next year there will be money enough to start buying a regular fair grounds and to do some building, perhaps, to house exhibits. We are informed that a good many entries are coming in from. outside the county, and of course this means that outside ‘prize winners in general will spend their winnings outside the county. Placer county people have had a year or so of the new county fair and they know exactly how to go after the~ prize money. (More power to ’em, of course, if Nevada county farmers, ‘business men, housewives, stock men, poultry men, ef course mining. men, don’ t; Bet a hunch pretty soon and igo ‘after their ; entry blanks and = start their. exhibits. That bull calf, the descendants of the one you used to show when you were a.boy, and that your grandson is earnestly wrestling with, will need a lot of currying and interial treatment ‘with flax seed mash between now and October 16. Get your entry blanks at 209% West Main street, Grass Valley, before it is too late. Here is a little story of how it pays to show whatever it is you have to show. A sheep raiser ‘brought in to the fair of a neighboring county a fine ‘pen of his ‘purebred animals. While at the fair he picked up a young Hampshire ram for $37.50. Already this season the ram’s owner has won $85 in prizes on his ram. The great big event of the three day show is the horse show, in charge of Tevis Paine. The children, especialy, ought to “see~ the horse show. They are wonderfuly different from the plow and riding nags that. one sees in these here hills, They are thoroughbreds, that prance, and dance, and do everything but sing, tra la. Many of them are five gaited steeds and they are as ‘proud of their accomplishments as any (piano playing debutante. There are hunters and trotters. There are hackneys and pacers. There will probably be some of those ponderous draft hhorses in a 6-horse team the kind that used to haul the beer before trucks were invented. It is bound to.\be a great show, folks, whether you are there or not, or whether or not you exhibit your barrow, shoat, boar, brood sow, ram, ewe, wether,. gelding, steer, stallion, or your little brown hen. All those above words are in the dictionary, in case any reader should have been shielded in their youth from country sights and experiences. But don’t pass up the District Fair. Don’t miss it.

BOARD ASKED T0 CLEAR HIGHWAY DURING WINTER A delegation from Nevada City and Grass Valley will leave shortly after noon today to keep an appointment with the State Highway ComTahoe Ukiah _ highway, need for keeping it open this winter. The Nevada City delegation wil) consist of W. H. Griffiths, Judge Raglan Tuttle, Emmett; Gallagher, John Gaskin, R. P. Bennetts, Tom Richards, members of the city council, which consist of Mayor Ben Hall, Robert Nye, Frank Davies, Chas Leiter and James Penrose. -Last winter ‘during the stormy weather, the Tiahoe-Ukiah highway was closed from Washington junction eastward between February 3 and March 30 because, at least it was so reported, the State Highway: board could not spare the right kind of equipment fronf other roads to keep the Tahoe Ukiah open. Snow piled wp and packed, and when the hihgway crews finally tackled the job of opeuing the road, it was several weeks before it could be cleared. During that time a large amount of travel was deflected to U. S. 40 and Nevada County ° merchants lost a large part of the traffic and business that comes from travel on this highway. This year there is a report not yet confirmed, that the sports try-outs for the Olympic games will ‘be held on the ski course above Rainbow tavern. It is expected that the big attendance that enjoyed sports last winter wil be doubled or it may be, tripled, this winter. The Chamber of Commerce of Nevada City, in’ view of conditions which may again cause the Tahoe Ukiah to be blocked with heavy falls of snow has asked to board of supervisors of the county to petition the State Highway department to provide adequate equipment this year, in the way of modern rotary snow plow, so that the Tahoe Ukiah highway may be kept clear for the traffic that flows through this section. It is reported that in a short time the equipment forthe road clearing is to be apportioned to the various sections of the state, and it is only by immediate and concerted action that Nevada county residents can hope to get their share of the alloted equipment. That the roads be kept clear and passable through the winter months jis of vital importance to the business interests. of Nevada City, For with the coming of snow to the surrounding localities the usual winter sports enthusiasts travel through this city in large numbers. ~ By keeping the Tahoe and Ukiah road open motorists can save miles of extra and unnecessary travel in getting to the Cisco ski course. People going fromYuba, Sutter, Glen, Colusa, Butte and Nevada counties will, if the roads are kept passable, travel through (Nevada City and vicinity rather than take the long round about way via Colfax. Not only will this stimulate business here but it will also create new interest in the ‘Steep. Hollow ski courses above Nevada City, And if the rumor that the Olympic tryouts are to be engaged in at Cisco $ki course_has foundation, then not only is it important that the roads be kept open to ana~ “from Nevada (City, but it is also of vital concern to the state highway patrol, since it would divide the traffic and prevent congestion on U. S. 40. BILL CAIN AND FAMILY RETURN TO NEV. CITY Mr. and Mrs. Bill Cain and two children returned to Névada City dn October first and have taken over their auto court near the high school. Mr. and’ Mrs. Cain have been living in Sacramento where he is interested in the Shasta Mineral Water and Sunset Beverage company. He hopes to complete .arrangements whereby he may return soon to Nevada City to live permanently. Mr. Cain takes an active-part-in-civie-matters in the city and his many friends will be pleased to welcome his return. e Mr. and Mrs. Irving Long visited their daughter, Miss Margaret Long, at Berkeley Monday. On ‘Monday evening they attended a . fathers of their daughters. * mission and engineers regarding the. and urgent SCOUTS COOK DINNER MINUS KETTLES, PANS Bob Tamblyn, scout master of troop 24 which is sponsored by the Nevada (City Rotary Club held an organization meeting with his troop at Seamans Lodge in Pioneer: Park on Wednesday evening.

Scouts will bring their own food to fbe cooked without utensils. NO. . MEASURE TO BREAK POWER ‘OF LABOR CZARS By RALPH H. TAYLOR “There are growing indications— and most healthy indications, too—— that tens of thousands of rank and file. workers in California, who carry union cards and . believe in sound unionism, do not believe in the terroristic tactics and ‘“‘rule or ruin” policies of the labor leaders who have embroiled them in constant industrial turmoil. If the recent special election in Los Angeles, adoption of a labor act cracking down on objectionable practices in labor disputes, is analyzed, there is even reason to believe that thousands of workers—in the secrecy of the hballot box—are willing to vote for peace and against the recommendations of labor czars who cry out for war. No other placed on the results of the Los Angeles election. For if the great army of organized workers in Los Angeles had jumped into action when their leaders cracked the whip; if they had fought militantly and voted solidly, the Los Angeles ordinance would not have received the tremendous vote accorded it. As a matter of fact, the average worker, whether organized or ”wrrorganized, wants work and. regular paychecks, rather than strike benefits and special duty on a_ picket line. In many instances, he has been just as confused by the senseless succession of strikes and walkouts as employers and the ‘general public. And there is reason to believe that the polling place, on election day, may be his most effective weapon in breaking the power of labor bosses who have achieved autocratic control» over his activities as a worker and member of a union, On November 8, if Proposition No. 1 on the state ballot secures approval—and there is strong evidence that it will—several hundred thousand good union workers will bolt the program laid down by Harry Bridges and his lieutenants and _ help, with their ballots, to win the victory. It is their golden opportuuity to declare their independence of labor dictators and to end the constant warfare which has plundered their pay envelopes and brought want and suffering to their families. And, in this writer’s opinion,. there will be many ballots cast on November 8 which would give some of the labor ezars apoplexy—if the labor czars knew who cast them! In this connection, an interesting pand pertinent question is raised by B. “F. McKibben, who, as secretary of the ‘Pacific States ‘Butter, Egg, Cheese and Popitry Association, has had an opportunity “to~observe labor conditions at close range ~and who has been in touch with the probiems . of his industry for many years. Asks Mr. McKibbens: “Who Is Running the Labor Unions?” And he. proceeds to answer the question, at least in part, with an analysis that points quite clearly to the fact that aliens and radical agitators are at the bottom of much of the difficulty. Comments Mr. McKibben: “T have checked over the names of the so-called union leaders in the San Francisco district who have been the chief trouble makers, and find that the list boils down to about 14 or 15. persons.Of this number, one is a well known alien whose name is too familiar to need repeating; three were born in Russia; two more were from Riussian immigrant parents (all . of which indicates a somewhat Soviet flavor), and three were born in the hot spots of Central Europe. One (Continued on Page Five) which resulted in the] interpretation can be; $3000, CHLORINATION Is . ° ROTARY TOPIC ‘Chlorination of the domestic water supply was the topic at the Rotary luncheon meeting yesterday. Fred W. Kolb of San Francisco gave a description of the kind of chlorination equipment needed and stated it would cost approximately $1.10 per day to chlorinate the water in the two Nevada City.reservoirs as the water is drawn into the city’s water mains. , Oscar Odegaard presided’ at the meeting in the absence of President Andy Holmes. Dr. B. W. Hummelt was program chairman. The Rotary is trying to arouse public nterest in an adequate chlorination system to prevent any epidemic which may result from impurities or germs from the water shed which is a great summer and winter sports area. Guests. at the meeting were Ed. Uren, city engineer, Mayor’ Ben Hall, Councilman Robert Nye, and George Calanan, city clerk. Councilman Chas. Leiter is a member of Rotary. Following the meeting there was much discussion of the proposed improvement. DAMAGES OF $19,435 GIVEN IN JURY AWARD A verdict for $15,435 damages was awarded Carl J.

Basis of reaching the awards was not explained by the jurymen. HORSE MEAT FOR MINKS ATTRACTS PEACE OFFICERS Visions of cattle rustling passed through the mind of Chief of Police Garfield Robson, old time cattle man, and Sheriff Carl J. Tobiassen last Tuesday when R.N. Boyt parked his car and trailer on Broad street and blood dripped from the trailer, which was covered. As he went on out and on to the Downieville highway the two officers overtook him and asked what. he had in his car. He very obligingly got out nd stated he had 1000 pounds of hor eat in the trailer and at their request Uncovered ‘it for the officers, He had brought it from Petaluma and was taking it to his fur farm on ‘the north fork of the South Yuba above Bassetts. In 1931 the Ta ational Forest issued a fur farm permit covering eleven acres of ground to Mr. Boyt, who was an engineer on one of the big steamship lines. Mr. Boyt states he is raising the rare Alaskan mink and the more common mink. He has MINING DAY AT FAIR (Mining Day at the Nevada County Fair will be held on the last day or October 18 and it is thought many thousands of dollars of fine ore will . be on display Mining men from all over the state should be interested -in this display from the banner gold. county of California. some silver foxes at the farm also.

As a matter of fact, the average worker, whether organized or ”wrrorganized, wants work and. regular paychecks, rather than strike benefits and special duty on a_ picket line. In many instances, he has been just as confused by the senseless succession of strikes and walkouts as employers and the ‘general public. And there is reason to believe that the polling place, on election day, may be his most effective weapon in breaking the power of labor bosses who have achieved autocratic control» over his activities as a worker and member of a union, On November 8, if Proposition No. 1 on the state ballot secures approval—and there is strong evidence that it will—several hundred thousand good union workers will bolt the program laid down by Harry Bridges and his lieutenants and _ help, with their ballots, to win the victory. It is their golden opportuuity to declare their independence of labor dictators and to end the constant warfare which has plundered their pay envelopes and brought want and suffering to their families. And, in this writer’s opinion,. there will be many ballots cast on November 8 which would give some of the labor ezars apoplexy—if the labor czars knew who cast them! In this connection, an interesting pand pertinent question is raised by B. “F. McKibben, who, as secretary of the ‘Pacific States ‘Butter, Egg, Cheese and Popitry Association, has had an opportunity “to~observe labor conditions at close range ~and who has been in touch with the probiems . of his industry for many years.

Asks Mr. McKibbens: “Who Is Running the Labor Unions?” And he. proceeds to answer the question, at least in part, with an analysis that points quite clearly to the fact that aliens and radical agitators are at the bottom of much of the difficulty. Comments Mr. McKibben: “T have checked over the names of the so-called union leaders in the San Francisco district who have been the chief trouble makers, and find that the list boils down to about 14 or 15. persons..Of this number, one is a well known alien whose name is too familiar to need repeating; three were born in Russia; two more were from Riussian immigrant parents (all . of which indicates a somewhat Soviet flavor), and three were born in the hot spots of Central Europe.

HORSE MEAT FOR MINKS ATTRACTS PEACE OFFICERS Visions of cattle rustling passed through the mind of Chief of Police Garfield Robson, old time cattle man, and Sheriff Carl J.

As he went on out and on to the Downieville highway the two officers overtook him and asked what. he had in his car.
