ONE OF LAST YEAR'S entries in the Junior Livestock Auction at the Nevada County District
Fair.
ei
Junior livestock auction popular at fair
For the past year industrious
4-H Club and FFA members
have been raising beef, sheep,
and swine market animals for
the Nevada County District Fair
in Grass Valley,
The culmination of these efforts will be the Junior Livestock Auction, scheduled for 9:30
a.m. Sunday, Aug. 24 inthe livestock judging arena.
The Nevada County Purebred
Beef Breeders Association
sponsors the auction annually as
a means of promoting “juvenile
adequacy and good citizenship.
For the first time for many
of the young people, experiences
in .keeping records, management of finances, and feeding and
grooming of cattle are learned.
Sale Chairman Henry Magonigal reports that 42 market
steers,. 129 market lambs, and
26 fat hogs have been entered
in the 4-H and FFA market divisions. However, only the top
grading steers, as judged by Ed
Rousek of Fresno State College,
will meet the strict sale standards and be eligible for the auction,
And Jack Nolan of Chico State
College will judge all of the
sheep and swine.
Buyers can be assured of top
quality sale, each exhibitor is
limited.to the sale of one large
or two small animals,
All arrangements for the
slaughter, cutting and packaging
of the animals are made right
at the auction. If a buyer wishes
to resell the animal at the market price rather than keep the
meat, he may also easily arrange for this transaction, Two
or more persons may. wish to
parse a market animal jointy if the freezer space will not
accommodate a whole animal,
Preceding the sale is the annual Future Farmers sponsored
buyers’ breakfast. Past and prospective buyers are invited and
the breakfast is held below the
sheep and goat barn area at 7:30
a.m. Buyers are advised to enter
Gate 5 on McCourtney Road.
For those concerned with insuring good citizenship for our
youth in these troubled times,
your attendance and support of
the junior livestock auction is
urged.

Gas carburetion
demonstration
at county fair
There will be ademonstration
of the the Vangas "40 and 5"
LP-gas carburetion lease plan
during the Nevada County District Fair next week. The demonstration will be given each day
at the company's fair booth.
Users report that with LPgas carburetion there's practically no oil dilution, and there's
faster starting, increased engine
life, better combustion.
If an emergency arises,
you want to contact the
help you need the fastest
way possible. So here’s
a reminder about a
convenience that’s right
on the inside front cover
of your telephone book.
There you'll find spaces
for filling in important
numbers such as the
Fire Department, the
Police, and your doctor. If you take a few seconds
to write them down, they could save valuable time
when it counts— because the fastest way to get help
is to dial direct. Of course, if there’s some reason
you can’t, just dial “‘0’”’ for Operator. She’s there
to help.
The telephone puts faraway family and friends as
close as a few spins of the dial. Take advantage of
the lower night and weekend rates and give them a
call. It costs surprisingly little.
It may surprise you to
learn that gophers are a
subject of serious study for
telephone scientists. Because of the rapid growth
rate of their front teeth,
gophers have an inborn tendency to chew—which
keeps the incisors worn down to manageable lengths.
Unfortunately, telephone cable provides them with
ideal fare for dental health.
Studies show that these game little fellows will
not only chew through plastic coatings on buried
cable but also through soft metals like aluminum
and lead. Phone scientists are continually testing
new types of cable protection that will prove im-.
pervious to these persistent underground diners.
