PAGE TWO NEVADA CITY NUGGET MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1946 Nevada City Nugget 306 Broad Street Telephone 36 A Legal Newspaper, as defined by statute. Printed and Published at Nevada City, California Owner and Publisher Editor H. M. LEETE ee ee BHARLBY M. LENTE, Jr. Ss cee : Published Semi-Weeekly, Monday and Thursday ‘gt’ Nevada City, California, and entered as matter of the second clase in the postoffice at Nevada City under Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year (in pdvance) .....-.-.-------------$3.00 One anGgols coat ee ie es 30 cents JUST WONDERIN’ I wonder why a little word : Can daunt the mind of man And blind him to the majesty And beauty of the plan, Whereby long aeons of the. past Wrought for this age of ours, Their regal gifts of towering trees, And fruitful vines, and flowers. ] wonder why so many otherwise open aiuded people; shrink as though in alarm when the word evolution is mentioned in their presence. lis it because the word ‘has become so generally linked with the theory of man’s descent from the chimps and anthropoids of prehistoric ages? This so called theory, which by the way, was not promulgated by Darwin, is not all of evolution, for evolution is the process by which the earth, once without form and void, has gradually, through long aeons of time, assumed its present form and become a fitting home for man. _ There is no reason to be afraid of the word or the theory of evolution; we see the presence of evolution in every object in the world about us. We confess to its mysterious powers, _ whenever we reflect that great oaks from little. acorns grow. “We trust it whenever we plant a seed, or train a vine across the garden wall. Let’s forget the chimps and the anthropoids and approach the subject of evolution with a determination to understand its wonders and its gifts to our age from countless ages of the past. We are told that a little flower of but four petals, which left its impression upon the strata of prehistoric ages, is the small beginning from which has been evolved the wealth of beautiful and exotic flowers which we enjoy today, and this is but one of the innumerable facts which we learn from the testimony of the rocks. Were . trained and ordained to preach, . would find texts for many a sermon in running brooks, in stones, in wayside flowers, and in relics of our remote past which offer irrefutable testimony relating to the antiquity of this globe which is our home. I think that should . come across these words: God works in a mysterious way his wonders to perform, that I would whisper, evolution is the way—the great plan of growth and unfoldment which works, not only in the physical aspects of nature, but also in the mind of man and in his relations with his fellow men and the world about him. A number of years ago, the oil pits of La Brea Rancho, near Los Angeles afforded an awe inspiring chapter in the history of the world and when the strange skeletons had been articulated and set in a room of the Los Angeles museum, we went to stare and express our amazement. . was glad indeed that the uncouth beasts of fifty or a hundred thousand years ago, had by the processes of evolution, been reduced in size and ferocity and that they no longer strode the earth with giant tread. By all means let's forget our prejudices and study the magniture and beauty of the plan which has given us the earthly home we love today.—Adeline Merriam Conner: Miss Iva Ellene Foreman been employed at the Naval Air Base : : iin Alameda County.

Misg Foreman is a graduate of the Nevada City high school, and has Primitive children develop under a rigid disciplinary code rather than running wild during childhood, a University of California anthropologist reports. bROAD STREET Harley M. Leete, Jr. Is there anyone in town who hasn’t got a cold? The entire Nugget staff . has, except-for the Boss, who claims the excessive quantities of nicotine in his system poison the germs. If you wonder about the quality of today’s issue of the paper, just be thankiful it wasn’t printed on Kleenex—that’s how tough ‘the cold situation at 305 Broad Street is right now. : The following is a bit of undiluted nlagiarism, stolen from one of the YWeliest weekly papers in the country. Scoop Thurman’s COLFAX RECORD. However, I mitigated the theft a trifle by calling Scoop up and asking his permission to use it, which he granted gladly, ‘announcing that after all, he had gotten it from somewhere’ else. This humorous Dit’ has probably gone the rounds like a chain letter, from one newspaper :0 the other, and may continue for centuries. Howdy customers! Consider the editor! A child is born unto the wife of a merchant:in the town. The physician getteth 100 plunks. The editor writeth a stick and a half telleth the 4 multitude that the child tippeth the scales at nine pounds. Yed he lieth even as a centurian and thé proud father giveth him an EF] Stinko cigar. Behold, the young one groweth up and graduateth. And the editor putteth into his paper a swell notice. Yea, a peach of a write up. He telleth of the wisdom of the young 'woman and of her exceeding comeliness. Like unto. the roses of Sharon is she and her gown played up to beat the band. And the dressmaker getteth two gcore and four iron men. And the editor gets a n®te of thanks from the sweet girl graduate. And the daughter goeth on a journey, and the editor throweth himself on the story of the farewell party. It runneth a column solid. And the fajr.one rememibereth him from a far with a picture post card that costeth six for a jitney. * Behold, she returneth and. the youth of the town fall down and worship. She picketh one and lo, she picketh a lemon. But the editor cal!eth him one of ‘our promising young men and getteth away with it. And they send unto the editor a bid to the wedding and behold the bids are fashioned and printed in a far city. Flowery: and long is the wedding notice which the editor printeth. The minister getteth 10 bones. The groom standeth with the editor off for a 12months subscription. All flesh ig grass and in time the wife is gathered unto the soil. The minister getteth his bit. The editor printeth a death notice, two columns of obtiuary, three lodige notices, a cubit of poety and a card of thanks. And he forgetheth to read proof on head and the darned thing cometh out: “GONE TO HER LAST ROASTING PLACE”’ And all that are akin to the deceased jumpeth on the editor with exceeding great jumps. And _ they j. pulleth out their ads and canceleth . their subs and théy swing the hammer even unto the third and fourth generations. As long as I’m stealing stuf today, I’m going to steal another little piece this one from Doug Barrett's SIERRA SUN column entitled My Place in the Sun. It’g called: THE PRINTING PRESS Iam the printing press, born of the mother earth. My heart is of steel, my limbs are of iron and my fingers are of brass. I sing the songs off the world, the oratories of history, the symphonies of all tirte. I am the voice of today the herald of tomorrow, I weave into the warp of the past the woof of the ‘future. I tell the stories of peace and war alike. I make the human heart beat with passion or tenderness, I stir the pulse of nations, and make brave men do better deeds. and soldiers die. I am the laughter and tears of‘the world, and I shall never die until all things return to the immutable ust—I am the printng press.—Robert Hobart Davies. (1869-1942) A very nice little essay, that Barret says he rescued from the waste basket. The printing press is a mighty. powerful instrument, all right, but with radio and movies, and the onset of television and the possibility of radio delivered newspaper,s it no loniger has the monopoly on mass communication that it used to. (MIEMIO FROM THE EDITOR TO HIMSELF: Go to Bioomifield in the near future and write a better article about the town. The recent story starting off: ‘“‘Bloomifield is dead”’ went over with an enormous thud in that area, and several very much alive citizens of Bloomfield came int othe NUGGET OFFICE to tell us about it. Another article about North San Juan would be good, too. Sensitice residents of the Ridge took exception to a recent reference in this column to NSJ as a ghost town.
