GENE McLENNAN: Yes, I would say definitely. 4 me. i. aT @ we SE By Fay M. Dunbar 273-2934 Easter in Rough and Ready was beautiful. The sunrise service had almost perfect conditions, We still needed our coats but the sun was bright and warm. "The arching sky was a cloudless blue" is a phrase from one of the songs in our choral groups repertoire and it described that sky on Sunday perfectly. The birds sang merrily in the huge oak trees that surrounded‘us, The Reverend Moore was not too profound. He gave us the Easter message from the modern bible and even added a few simplifications of his own. He did leave us one especially thought provoking conclusion, It was his distinction between religion and faith. The offering, which he had asked be made for the North Star Training and Communication Center, went well over $80.00, It was taken by 4-H members, Diane and Denise Stevens and Ronald Prochaska, Jamie Brown, and Charles Baer. Services were sponsored by the Rough and Ready Grange and held on the hill back of the old hall. Arrangements for the service were handled by Mrs. Conne Baer the Grange lecturer. Conne is also community leader for our 4-H Club and her programs always include some of the 4-H Club members which adds real value to them. Call to worship was done by a group of brass instruments from NUHS, This year the participants were Hal West, Mike McAllister, Earl McFarland, and Paul Troutwein. They also provided the 4ccompaniment for the three hymns. Last, but not least, two anthems were sung by 17 members of the Nevada County Newcomers Lyric Ensemble under the direction of Mrs. Helen Beatie of Rough and Ready. Many guests were from out of town. I saw one group from the flatlands below, Mrs, Isabel Hafelfinger and her guest from Nevada City, the Emmett Iveys from Grass Valley, and the James Lawsons from Cedar Ridge to name only a few. I'm sure I've missed representatives of many neighboring areas. * * * The public breakfast which always follows sunrise service is really a fellowship breakfast. The people participating are not all of the same faith, but to me this adds to the enjoyment. One problem we have not solved yet about our breakfast, is that so many come in right from the service, that the first wave always has a bit of a wait. There was hot coffee and fruit juice, but the two hotcake cooks Sam Harwood and Kenneth Wright just couldn't produce instant hotcakes, The two griddles cook about 30 at a time, but there is still plenty of time for visiting when a crowd of 80 sits down all at once. * * * * One tragic incident marred the Easter holiday. Mrs, Loraine Long of Prospector Road passed away at Wiemar last Tuesday. Loraine has been ill many years. She had survived several malignancy surgeries. She came to Rough and Ready late in 1959 and while they did leave again later for a couple of years from that first visit forward, she considered Rough and Ready her home. I was not the good friend that I should have been which will always sadden me, but she did have good friends in the community. She had been ill this time for a long while and had made one trip to Wiemar for tests. She was scheduled for more tests on Tuesday but became worse last weekend and Irene Lanzendorfer and Pat Litchfield drove her to Weimar on Sunday. Though very uncomfortable, she was her usual cheerful self, Mrs, Lanzendorfer told me. They even stopped for coffee on the way over. The immediate cause of death is not yet known, but she had been suffering from Emphysema. She is survived by relatives in the east and by her son and his family of Santa Barbara. She was very proud of her son, who is a second Lieutenant in the US; Army and of her one grandchild. * * * * Mrs. Martina Morrison Faull has given me some of her old family pictures. Many are too personal to be of general historical import, but they sure do help me fill in the history and geography of our area over the past 75 years. The old Morrison family ranch has seen a lot of changes. One interesting picture is of Martina's sister, the late Mrs. Mayme Cole, using a horse drawn mowing machine in a little mountain meadow back of their house. That little meadow now has nine homes with nine driveways of course and a connecting road winding through it. Quite different from the little meadow sweet with hay of a few years ago. Another spot on a rocky hillside with nothing else in view is now traversed by the Rough and Ready Road. The most interesting thing of all however, was Hwy. 20 with only eight homes between our house in the meadow west of town right through to the Toll House group at the east end of town. South of the highway there was only what is now the Bixler home and the old hotel (gone since 1946), On the north was the Morrison home, the John Fippin home, the old hall, the blacksmith shop and freight barns, the Single home back of it, and the Dikeman home on the hill above town. I see I counted the blacksmith shop and freight barns as one home. I also missed the old Frank home kind of way back off the road. I doubt if it was visible from the highway. Wish I could have known the town then, too. * * * * One of my readers gave me this marvelous thought. Sure hope itwasn't meant to be applied personally, "A man never shows his own character more clearly than by the way he portrays that of another." * * * ’ * I do not always agree with the position I take on local news, I even try to present both sides. I hated our fire house being placed back on Rough and Ready Road as much as most but pointed out and defended hotly the fact that it was the geographical center of the district. I hope you could not even tell that I did not like it. Now our poor fire dept. is being penalized for its location. It is what they say "out of sight out of mind" to most of us, The powers that be in the fire dept. are being hurt by this problem and of course wish they were not stuck with it, The truth still applies. It is the geographical center of our district. This plus the price of the land was the prime consideration in its selection. This fact is important on a protection basis, It will become even more helpful when Bonanza Way is cut through to Prospector Road. We do have a very effective fire dept. Let's support it for our own protection, They promised me figures about our new budget which will be along as soon as I receive them. Sometimes it pays to forget ‘the past and look only ahead. * * * fe Mrs, Etta Ettleman, former Rough and Ready postmaster, has just returned from a visit in southern California with her son and his family in E] Cajon. Husband, Bill, had, as usual, gone fishing. She says they are both fine.
