Postal regulations require -that all subscriptions be paid in Nevada City EDITORIAL AN ISSUE -UP FOR GRABS Recently we expressed the wish that the candidates during this election year concern themselves with the issues that face us. One issue that is of prime importance to the nation in general and the Sierra Nevadaregion in particular is the need forwise and conservative use of our most valuable resource, open green space. JohnB. Oakes, conservation editor of the New York Times, wrote in a recent article, "The unprecedented prosperity that the nation is now enjoying ought to induce increased capital investment in ong-term programs that will assure preervation of its dwindling natural reources. This would be real economy, andan imaginative leadership in Administration and Congress would seize an opportunity that may well be America's last." Yes, imaginative leadership would seize this opportunity. But we do not have imaginative leadership, either in the Administration or in Congress. The President in his state-of-the-union message makes no mention whatever of this or many ether pressing domestic issues. And Senate leaders seemendlessly concerned withacouple of rockets that blew up at Cape Canaveral last summer. For some reason, national political leaders are now neglecting an issue which in the past has had great votegetting appeal andhas been used by both partiés, most notably by the Republicans under Theordore Roosevelt and by the Democrats under Franklin Roosevelt. It is particularly strange that atatime when increase. populations are making increased demands upon decreased land resources--in other words, at a time when the broad problems of conservation. really mean something to the average citizen--the issue is largely ignored. Sometime soon a smart politician is going to pick up this issue and carry it down the field. We say more power to him. NEVADA CITY ROUGH AND READY The'second meeting of the The Rough and Ready 4H first and second year Cooking Clubis going strong under the Class was held on December leadership of Lois and Ed . WOODCHUCKERS FORESTRY On December 12, 1959, we had our first Forestry meeting at Mr. Matson's home. _We discussed what we would like to learn this year.

Reporter Debbie Davis Snowtime Is A Busy Time When the snowfall on Highway 20 gets heavy, our Citizen of the Week gets busy. Like others who work for the California Division of Highways, Maintenance Division, Donald Worthley put in some 12 hour days since the clouds have been flaking a blanket of snow onto streets and highways hereabouts. Worthley, 547 Coyote Street, Nevada City, has been working for the Division of Highways for eight years. Moving up and down Highway 20 as the snow level fluctuates, the truck enforces regulatings calling for chains. Other division men operate snow removal equipment uproad from the warning truck. In the summertime, crews of the division enjoy less weatherbeaten chores-patching state highways throughout the area, With melting snow, the crews will be kept busy locating and removing falling rocks, Worthley said. Highway 20 has few slides, but falling rocks can be a problem on it. 4, 1959, atthe home of Jack Costa, our Junior Leader.

This would seem the logical time to remind residents in Western Nevada County that many--indeed, most of the fire departments in our area are not tax supported. They depend on fund raising activities to keep the equipment in order, and the volunteers whomantherigs also man the fund raising lines. Eight of these departments are: Flat, Watt Park, 49er, Ophir, Peardale, Bullion, Alta Oaks, and Penn Valley. These eight have 20 pieces of equipment and 240 firemen. Nevada City and Grass Valley departments are also volunteer in nature, although supported partially from City funds. +++t4+4+ The Oakland city Christmas tree, a 50 foot fir, was a native of Western Nevada County.
