Nevada » ity, California Second classé matter at @ x ‘ornia, er Act ‘ : Adjudicated a legal November 6, 1951, in Nevada County a early — Six Months $1.75 : ' tes on Request Superior Court, Decree No: 10023. : : “GREATNESS” F The depth of meaning of this word can hardly be measurae ed against the overall achievements of any one individual, : but there does come a time when the word should be used in connection with some person who, by his very actions, rises to meet the obstacles before him. During the Kennedy trials of last October, March, and this month, it appears from the testimony that_our District Attorney is vitally interested in the outcome. During the March trial, Mr. Berliner stated that he did not represented Mrs. Kennedy for six months, yet refused to take the stand and testify under oath that he had not heard from her or her attorney within the past thirty or sixty days. ; F Many prospective jurors have testified that they had formed an opinion about the case that would take evidence to a _ Change. This has not made the task of defending his client i any easier. But, regardless of all these obstacles, and because he believes in the innocenee of his client, Charles C. R. Kennedy, Jr. (as does this newspaper) Mr. F. LSinclair has conducted a masterful and brilliant defense. It is such a man that gives a meaning to the word “greatness” and gives credit to the legal profession an example so many could very well accept as their rule of conduct. Nevada County could use a few like Mr. Sinclair. iy * THE RENTS OVERDUE _. If Senator Tom Kuchel has his way, tax-poor local governments in California may soon be able to collect long overdue “rent” from the, State’s largest single landholder—Uncle In marked, and welcome, contrast to his stand against the Administration’s proposal for private and tax-productive development of Trinity River Project power, Senator Kuchel has urged Congress to provide “in lieu” federal payments to local areas in compensation for taxes lost, on property held by the federal government. Almost 50 per cent of California’s real estate is federally owned. According to the Senator, ban" conservative estimates evaluate that land at nearly $300 on, Under the Kuchel plan, cities, counties, school districts and other local bodies largely dependent upon levies for their revenues would be able to make claims for compensation on the basis of demonstrated financial hardship resulting from federal land ownership. This would create no undue burden on the federal government, it is pointed out, because extenpew holdings in rural areas would not be subject to such ¢c s. In championing this sensible and much néeded adjustment in the financial relationships between the federal government and local areas, Senator Kuchel has well earned the hearty commendation of his constituents and his State. 4). H. S. T.,,.EDITOR Former President Harry 8S. Truman recently told .some visiting foreign newspapermen that the United States does not have a free press. “T've never seen one.” Then Give-em-hell Harry tipped his mitt. “I want to be a telegraph editor, or one of those blue pencil men. Then I could get what I wanted into the newsWonder what Harry, as an editor endowed with that personally-motivated sort of censorial “freedom”..would have blue penciled from the almost universally sympathetic expressions of good wishes and support that filled the nation’s editorial columns during those numbing first days of his unexpected Presidency ? £). SPITING ITS FACE? The startling charge, made in a majority decision of the State Public Utilities Commission, that the Southern Pacific railroad “has no desire to compete with other railreads and other common carriers for passenger service” seems to ignore completely an obvious fact, to wit, that all railroads are in business to make money. Hundreds of thousands of Americans invest in these lines in the confident expectation that they will make every effort to do just that. : For years the railroads have been trying against growing obstacles to wrest a profit from their passenger service. They have spent millions on modernization. They are seeking relief from the twin economic burdens of costly union featherbedding and discriminatory taxation. They are fighting for a chance to compete on equal terms with other, more favored forms of transportation. No railroad, any more than any other business, would cut off its nose to spite its face. Unlike most large industries, the railroads do not have the freedom to eliminate unprofitable operations—even though they would seem to be in a far better position than are regulatory bodies to know when such operations are hopelessly unproductive. When they are prevented from doing 80, it is the shippers and consumers of goods shipped by rail who inevitably make up the loss in the long run.

Many organizations, school nurses, teachers and. individuals have expended a great deal of time and effort, under the direction. of Frances Head, home advisor, in gathering and recording the necessary data for this program. Every child made a list of all meals and snacks eaten in a 24-hour period. The purposes of the. “Food Comes First” program is to point up the necessity of a better understanding of an adequate and balanced food intake, especially among the younger people who will direct the destiny of the country in. years to come. Food is first in importance to the individual, the state and the nation. It may be difficult to believe that in the community there are many under-nourished children, and this is not necessarily from lack of funds or low wage bracket, but more to a lack of understanding of nutritional needs. This is evidenced by the fact that (1) too many people go without breakfast; (2) too many people eat unbalanced meals; (3) too many people are just not. eating enough, and (4) too many people are overweight, many of whom may harm themselves by dieting without adequate knowledge or supervision. All of these fattofs will be discussed at the program. An impressive panel of peakers Colfax Garden Club . Oakland School Dist. PAINTING Spring Flower Show . Meeting, April 16 WM. F.

Work To Start On Brunswick Road Nevada County Road Commissioner Robert K. Graham. stated this week that the contractor plans to resume work this week On the project of surfacing 3.4 miles of Brunswick Road in Nevada County. Operations were suspended for the winter on December 10, 1958, ‘ Brunswick Road is a Federal Aid Secondary Route and connects State Sign Route 49 near Town Talk with the Grass Valley Colfax Highway. Huntington Brothers of Napa started work on this project last August under a $144,000 contract. The project was 855 per cent complete at the time construction operations were suspended. Thomas M.

Such individuals never last, for they would destroy the goodness that surrounds them, and hamper the achievement of objectives by the dreamers within his or her living sphere. If government laws are such that they become oppressive to the citizens, they are either changed or a revolution begins. If the man from Michigan, who appeared on television a few nighs ago to tell his story of how he was fined $5,500 for growing two acres of wheat to feed his chickens, could have his most inner thoughts cast on a screen, those who enacted the laws might shudder! Instead, he left America for good to live in Australia with his family. Many have left our community for they felt wronged in some way. Leaving is not the answer!

State officials previously had stated they were trying to work out a proposal whereby California would have the benefit of the power, and the Northwest the benefit of added power revenues, “The proposal by the Department of Interior is an obvious attempt to stop the three states from— entering agreemet, and I urge that everything be-done to see that this attempt to udermine the public preference policy established by the Congress is not successful,” Johnson said. Johnson pointed out that his district embraces federal projects such as Shasta Dam, Keswick Dam, and Folsoni Dam ‘powerhouses as well as the Trinity River powerhouse now authorized as part of the Central Valley project. He added that certain municipalities which can and do operate their own power distribution systems, such as the City of Redding, have been informed that no federal power is available to them even though they have a preference under federal law for the purchase of such power. “Whatever surplus or dump power that is available from Bonneville, in my belief, should be put into the Federal Government’s power system, particular-. ly in the summer months when the stream flow in my district is low. As I understand it, the proposed intertie now under. consideration makes no provision for government agencies, either federal or local, to use the private compay lines that will deliver the power to California. This is wrong, and I hope proper action can be taken to prevent the monanywhere in the world, for, be it an individual, group of individuals, state, or nation, some-. thing happens to stamp it out.
