Under a grant from Resources for the Future, anon-profit corporation é¢éndowed by the Ford Foundation to promote research and education to advance development, conservation, and use of natural resources, Mr. Anderson's national councilhas prepared a report which suggests effective regional recreation planning methods and points to additional research which should be carried on in support of such planning. The value of the report for us lies not only in the practical guide lines it lays down, but inthe fact that it was produced close to home, by a highly-skilled or-ganization whose experience and understanding we may hope to draw upon in the years to come. We will be highly interestedinthe next phase of the council's research--the practical application in pilot study areas of planning methods suggested in the report. And we would suggest that future reports be written in simple, convincing language. For the need and value of regional recreation planning must be brought home to the citizens of mountain communities such as our own. Afterall, they are the ones who will be most concerned. THE PAST _ IN PICTURES Letters’ To The Editor Dear Editor: I must say I am very much impressed with reading your little paper, since we started getting it a few weeks ago.

I mostly enjoyed the beautiful pictures and story of the Nanook Husky Dog Team, owned and trained by Chuck Emrich andhis wife, as] am a dog lover (including all other animals) those pictures got meright in the heart, with the "Oh, how cute!" and "Isn't he beautiful"! along with my little 8 year old girl, Valli, who did the same. Valli, usedto go to school (Gold Flat) with Emrich’'s son, Paul. We live in the Town Talk area, overthe hill from Emrich's, and one of these days I'm taking off to their kennels and see their beautiful creatures, anditismyde. sire some day, to own one of these gorgeous Huskies. The story and training of these dogs were supberb. Good luck to the Emriache's in producing and raising such fine show dogs. Also many thanks for the big picture of the History of the Narrow Gauge Railroad, and No. 5. This is a dandy little. paper to send asa gift to out of town friends, who were in Grass Valley, and would like to keep up with what's going on in Nevada County.

The kindling of the Olympic Flame assumed a most pronounced archaic character this year. Herewith is a description of the ceremony: "The priestess of the temple dedicated to Zeus in Olympia, stood at the East side of the altar on the ground of the Stadium, keeping watch over the Sacred Fire of Olympia, while at the West side of this altar, withina short distance, the priestess of the Pallas Athena's temple atthe Parthenon inAthens arrived attended by three other priestesses. "Standing on the foot of the column, she invoked Zeus, beseeching him tc grant fire.
