EDITORIAL A Family Visit, Multiplied 50 Times Some fifty foreign students and their familiesstudyingat the University of California at Davis will be welcomed into a like number of Nevada County homes this coming weekend. Névada C ounty has welcomed foreign students over a period of years, ona scale which we believe has seldom been equalled in communities of similar size. The purpose of these hospitalityweékends is simple: to promote international understanding through people to-people contact. Efforts towelcome foreign students into American homes pay off in increased American understanding of the problems andthe peoples of this small world; and the foreign students, many of whom are destinedtobe the leaders of their nations when they return home, acquire a knowledge of andrespect for American families in an American Community. At the same time, it usually happens that the visitors ahd the host families enjoy themselves, and feel personally enriched by the experience. It is understandable that former President Eisenhower and President Kennedy have publicly commended efforts of this kind-and that the foreign students at. Davis have come tolook forward to Nevada County's hospitality weekend. Scenic Highways? Local ActionNeeded It is evident there is a growing recognition of the value of protecting scenery along the most pleasant of California's highways. The U.S. National Forest Service has requested the withdrawal of federal land in Tahoe National Forest from possible mining claim inorder to provide a 200 foot roadside area on each side of Highway 49. The California State Auto Association is investigating the problems of establishing a similar roadside area along portions of Highway 49 throughout the Mother Lode area. The State of California is working toward the establishment of a scenic highway system within the framework of our state's highway network. Private, state and federal agencies aré aware of the benefits that beauty can lend to many of our highways. It is time that our two cities ad the County of Nevada do their part in protecting the scenic value of travel through our area. The cities have the Opportunity :to insure the landscaping of the proposed freeway through their boundaries by adopting ordinances limiting the use of billboards along the freeway right of way. Both Nevada City and Grass Valley have the matter under considerationg. We urge them not to delay in meeting the requirements. A landscaped freeway is not a scenic highway-per se, but it is far better than a billboard alley through our cities. Unlike the city portions of the freeway, in the county the State of California can of its own accord name the new freeway a landscaped highway and ban billboards that are not of local nature. But the county still has not faced up to the problem that billboards can create on ‘other highways through these scenic Sierra foothills. A proposed county billboard ordinance has been gathering dust since a series of informal discussions on the ordinance con'ducted by the planning commission drifted into the area of forgotten business.
