Your recent articles regarding the designation of Highway 20, "The Avenue of the Trees," as part of the proposed Scenic Highway System are certainly timely and praiseworthy. It is edifying tonote the impressive list of civic minded individuals endorsing this proposal, EDITORIAL Heritage Council A Welcome Visitor The California Heritage Council will arrive Saturday for a.two-day tour of Nevada Gity. We welcome themto our town, and hope they will want to return next year. We in Nevada County are proud of our gold mining heritage, we are proud of our Sierra Nevada setting, and we are pleased when others visit and share in our enjoyment. We in Nevada City have special reason to be proud, for the history of our town dates back to the gold rush days and still has numerous buildings of that era. Our heritage shows and we are glad ‘that it does. The California Heritage Council is interested in the preservation of noteworthy buildings and inthe use of these buildings in our modern world. The NUGGET has had . . this interest at heart, too. We have recently moved to new quarters, with modern interior, yet taking advantage of the historic exterior and interior brick walls. Other businesses and residents have taken It may not be generally known that most of Highway 49, including that part running through Nevada City, jf. already proposed as part Of the Scenic Highway system.’ This proposal would appear, to be an excellent rallying ground on which the diverse freeway groups could combine their ideas and present a united front to insure the primacy of Nevada City in the heritage of the mining country. The Scenic Highway System as proposed requires that the natural beauty of an area be retained, Combine this with the fact that by law a freeway is defined only by limited access, and the citizens of Nevada City seem to be in the fortunate position of being able to “have their cake and eat it too, " With this legal definition of a freeway no large gash is required through town, Using the downtown route as adopted, a modern wide two lane road with limited access would qualify. For the one mile or so that the freeway would run through Nevada City a sufficient number of turn offs in strategic locations if properly planned should satisfy the most demanding, It is reasonably certain thatno one visualizes es ee nen een agen Re Travel with us to Macau _ Macau, Portugal July, 1962 + On the Chinese WASHINGTON---The difficult task President Kennedy faces in the elections this must carry to the country, in a campaign promising to be as strenuous as a Presidential contest, the conviction that his party is the chosen instrument to bring the good life, peace and prosperity, and more of it, He must do this even though, as he was bound to point out in his televised address, _ MARQUIS CHILDS fall is quite clear in the aftermath of his report to the nation on the economy, He : Peninsula where gold for hoarders is sold on the open market and where the Bamboo Cur= tain separating thefree world from the world of communism is there for alltosee. It was midnight when we sailed ona river steamer out of Hong Kong harbor for this city of intrigue four hours away over the China Sea. A million neon lights: presented their dazzling sparkle in the background. Don't go to Macau----there's nothing there, said the mis-informed. How wrong they were. This is part of our picture story. We were lucky enough to have the Portugese Governor of the Colony loan us his photographer. Our picture story of Macau continues next week. KF eR GR tens the economy is sluggish and 4,000,000 are quick tax cut politically possible, That was the roadblock which the President had somehow to get around in his lesson in economics. Democratic members of the House about to go out and meet the votets are not too happy over the speech. They feel that it held out little of the political bread and butter they are going to need in November, And a dark cloud of doubt hangs over the bread~-and-butter measures, suchas the big public works bill, that the President called on Congress to enact before adjournment. Many members have just come back from their home bailiwicks and primary campaigns, They are concerned over the activities of the ultra-right. Large amounts of money are being poured into the propaganda of the extreme right aimed at the "socialistic" program of the President, This, combined with high-powered and well-heeled lobbies such as that of the American Medical Association, produces a nagging worry about November. It so happens, however, that this is the point in the Congressional cycle when the performance of the party in power is put still unemployed, Never at any time was a~ alongside the promises of the past. The comparison is usually embarrassing. Under the American system of divided powers and with the deep divisions in the two parties, promises are always shown to have outstripped performance, But as a moment of truth, this confrontation has only a limited validity. For the party in power is measured in an election the mile of Nevada City freeway as becoming a drag strip, Downtown parking is a necessity for Neyada City, The Scenic Highway proposal specifies a number of landscaped turn off areas be available to the travelling public. Could not these two requirements be combined into a landscaped parking area below the National Hotel?

Ruth thought she was the Queen of Sheba riding all_over Macau in this exotic ricksha, Up and do and back alleys where Marco Polo had traveled as had the pirates, the white slavers, the dope sellers and the gold smugglers, For Macau has the reputation of being the sin city of the Orient andthe locale for many a paperback whodunit, oti Drop a few pennies and we had ani the two younger brothers strapped to backs of older brother, The kids play all normal games with baby brother sound asleep, The AVERAGE family in Macau is 13 kids. The townhas 300,000, mostly Chinese, 90% who are Catholic ~--the rest followers of Confuscius. And just as many kids as the Catholics, campaign against what the opposition offers. Here Republican negativism, opposition to virtually everything put forward by the administration and a repetition of the familiar shibboleths of the past, will be a measuring rod. This applies both in domestic and foreign policy. As the spokesman in the House for all Republicans but a scattering of party therals, Minority Leader Charles Halleck has taken his stand on the Republican contribution to blocking the farm bill and other measures high on the Kennedy program. The Halleck minority did not achieve this singlehanded, A lot of help came, on stree » ~ the farm bill for instance, from the Democratic side, But Halleck has pointed again and again with pride to the GOP record of » Opposition. Similarly, onthe foreign side the party is united, from Gov, Nelson Rockefeller at one extreme to Sen, Berry Goldwater on the other, in opposition to the President's recent effort to get a,compromise agreement on nuclear testing withthe Russians, The concessions the President félt could be offered, in view of new findings showing how earthquakes may be distinguised ‘from nuclear explosions with’a minimum of on-site in“spection, were condemned by all Repub~ lican spokesmen, This leaves earnest advocates of a far more intensive and urgent search for peace little choice between the parties, figs _ There have been indications that certain Republican strategists mean to revive the “soft on communism” charge in areas, particularly in the West, where in close contests it could provide the margin of victory. _ One state under consideration by these tacticians is Colorado, where Sen, John Carroll will be in a close race for re-election, ' But the outcome of primary contests in several Southern states raises a question as to whether support of the Administration is’ a liability and whether the.“soft on communism” line will work ‘again as it has occasionally in the past,-«: In Tennessee, two long -entrenched members of the House who took a strong stand against medical care came to grief. Rep. JamesB, Frazier Jr, has been declared defeated by official count, and while J, Carl-ton Loser has apparently won by a handful of votes, the result is being contested. The votes were challenged by candidates who declared for support of the President's program. What happened in New Orleans is considered bythe President's chief political aides even more striking evidence, Rep. Hale Boggs, majority whip, had three opponents who called him everything from rubber stamp to socialist and even Communist. He was actively opposed by the White Citizens Councils and the John Birch Society. Boggs stood firmly on his support ofthe President while reminding the electorate that he had been in Congress long before John F. Kennedy was heard of in politics, He got 64 percent of the vote, leading the field by two to one and his nearest opponent by three to one, : The clock of politics does not stand still, and this immediate moment of truth, measuring performance and promise, may well be lost sight of in October.
