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. Board to select most postmasters . WASHINGTON, D. C. — Rep= resentative Harold T. (Bizz) Johnson. of the Second Congressional District, today revealed that a five member board will select most new postmasters _in the future.

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. @) Pacific Telephone George 0.
