ae a ‘same privilege. . The Nugget is delivered to your home twice a week for only 30 cents per month “God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are ready to guard and defend it.’”’-—Daniel Webster Nevada City Nu COVERS RICHEST GOLD AREA IN CALIFORNIA eget This paper gives you complete. coverage of all local happenings. . If you want to read about your friends, your neighbors, and your town, read The Nugget. et & Vol. 19, No. 77 _The The County S Seat Paper ‘Wilene OUT LOUD By H. M. L. Cost We are at length able to look upon ‘the curse of too many dogs with detachment. We have sympathy for the ‘dog owner, fond or proud of his canine friend, as the case may be. For once we had a dog, in fact a series of ‘edogs over a long stretch of years. So, ‘we have noted with interest that our neighbor, Grass Valley is rent with . ; contending factione, one for the new ordinance which compels owners of dogs to be responsible for their pets, sand those against it who regard the ‘ordinance as drastic, they acknowledge that should be responsible. even though an owner A dog is a domestoc anmal permitted to associate with human beings in the midst of cities, towns or villages. He is a privileged animal, in that no hogs, cows, horses, and in many places, hens, are permitted the Cats also are thus favored but rarely become the overall nuisance that dogs do, withogt responsible owners. What is needed here, we think, to calm the troubled waters of dogdom, is a little re-education in common courtesy. It is discourteous to put it mildly, to own a dog and make no effort whatever to prevent it trouble ing the neighbors. If one loves a dog, then it is proper to show that affection &y taking such care of it, training it, and feeding it, that neighbors are content to live next door to it. —S_All dogs cannot be trained, but most of them can, It takes time and patience to do it, but it is worth while with many dogs. Owners who have no sense of responsibility for preventing their dogs from becoming public nuisances should forthwith be deprived of them, bith for the sake of the dog and the neighbors. Most city ordinances are so drawn’ as to accomplish this. Most Policemen and poundmasters, who hate to chase dogs, lay down on the job of enforcing dog ordinances. John Law personified by a policeman or poundmaster has discovered that no matter how much some owners neglect their dogs, the moment they lay a hand on the half starved : hound, that moment they invite a fight, recrimination, threats and disagreeable incidents. rigorously do their selves Policemen who duty, find themin hot water. Every boy in town conspires to protect his unlicensed pet, male or female, and, as Kipling ,remarked, “the female ts more deadly than the male,” especially as a public nuisance. The righteous policeman finds the going hard and rewards meager, considering what he must endure in the diseharge of his duty. We have concluded that the privilege of owning a female dog should be worth at least $50 per annum to the owner. With the payment of such @ sum annually the neighbors could tbe assured that proper care would be given so valuable an animal and that her relations with the canine world would be carefully controlled. We suggest to the Nevada City council that study be given the new dog ordinance now in effect in Grass Valley. We feel reasonably certain we could ‘be just ag happy here in Nevada City with 50 per cent less of any kind of dogs, 99 per cent less of the females of the species. We believe if the ordinance offered a reward of, say, $1.00 for every unattached or unlicensed dog brought to the city pound for detention and possible liquidation, those youngsters, who now obstruct the course of justice, as it relates to dogs, would become the policeman’s best friend. We think, in a short time, and at very reasonable cost, the city would be purged of its excess dogs. We believe that offering a bounty on live and unwanted stray . dogs would produce immediate results, because every youngsters would be on the lookout for a dollar dog, not his own, and would hasten to ring it in to claim the reward. Dogs who wore a. license tag ‘would of course be exempt unless they were patently running at large in violation of the ordinance.

Best of all news to the great majority of citizens; but saddegt news item’to the would be social planners who had hoped for.a chance to remake America during the next post war period is that buletin posted up this week, There isn’t going to be a depression. There are good times ahead. Such was the purport of the news which flashed on ‘business throughout the nation. To run of the mill Americans, anxious to get ahead it was the best news of.the week. There would be no breadlines. There would be no shame faced acceptance of jobs on WPA. The American free enterprise’ sys‘wires tem wanted them—and intended to pay them good wages for services rendered. Washington still talked pontifically of 60,000.000 jobs, knowing that tens of thousands of those jobs were for wives and elder citizens who neither wanted them nor would accept them. But the Committee for Economic Development composed of the Nations’ outstanding economists and Dusiness leaders, announced the results 'of a hard boiled business survey showing that industry will provide 53,000,000 jobs during the first year of peace, with no help from ‘goyernment and no help wanted. What does that do to the current drive to create a panic in America —and to make conditions which would result in the appropriation of . untold millions and billions for make work projects? Quite frankly it pulls the plug on the panic propaganda. The jobs are here, without pumpbureaucrat can’t hold out long against such prima facie evidence. There are still political headaches however even though there is little likelihood of a real shortage of work. The three aspirin headache in California was the fact that thousands of persons were applying for unemployment insurance — well dressed, prosperous, looking men and women—who had money in the bank and no real need of government aid, but who felt they were entitled to a vacation at state expense. To state economists, the problem was this: Is this a vacation fund, or is it a fund to provide against a rainy day? California, the experts agreed this week, had yet to face any real need, any real unemployment problems; the main headahe was what to do about people who wanted to take a rest at the state’s expense. 'Jnemployment = psurance Claims SACRAMENTO, Sept. ployment insurance claims filed in other states against California in June, totaled 3028, according to nation wide ‘figures just received by the California Department ‘of Employment from the Social Security Board in Washington, D. C. The figures, department officials said, are not an indication of total out migration: from this state, but do give some idea of the states to ‘which people are returning, They are pre VJ day figures, it was stated, and poSt war claims filed in other states against California employers will not be availalble for several weeks. Texas was high on the list, acting as agent state for 590 claims filed in Texas against California employers. Illinois was second, with 356: New York third with 325; Arkansas fourth, with 235 and Oklahoma 5th with 229. 27—Unem. the fact. that } spinal X-ray films, Dr. . dria, according to Dr. WAR PRISONERSSOON RETIRED AS LABOR SUPPLY Removal of war prisoners from jobs at army installations in the 3 western states whenever civilian personnel can be obtained is the Ninth Service (Com mand’s employment policy. : ; Major General William E.

Governor Warren said the new legal authority to inspect, regulate and license hospitals “fills an obvious need in the matter of protecting public health.’ Warren added that he recommended the legislation after Dr. Wilton L.

It was found that small doses of curare soften the convulsions so that they are not so severe-without reducing the beneficial effect of the shock therapy, Dr. Bowman says.
