Brush fire is brought under control A potentially dangerous brush fire near Grand View Terrace “-was brought under control Saturday afternoon by volunteers from Ophir Hill Fire ‘Department and California Division of Forestry firemen. A small amount of brush and some pine trees were burned ‘before firemen controlled the flames. Fire Chief Dick Towle reported that Brian Bishop ‘showed the volunteers a ‘“‘goat path, just wide enough for a fire truck’’ which gave access to the fire. ‘‘We were having trouble finding a road to the fire,”’ Chief Towle said. A dozen match folders were found at the fire scene, the chief said and the cause remains under investigation. Ten volunteers from Ophir Hill FD, three trucks and CDF firemen brought the fire under control. — bf BUSINESS > BILLBOARD -Sit back and let clas“sified ads do the selling, renting or buying for you.

Everyone is thinking of ~ some way they can make their best better to purioin a thought from our 4H. I’m inclined to feel the biggest improvement our Fair could have would be elimination of the Carnival. My two visiting nieces spent half of their time and all of my money there. It might cut attendance records some but why worry about those who only attend the Carnival anyway. My girls loved the Playground Unit. We need more things of that type. A rented caliope, merry-go-round, and ferris wheel and you’ve got it made. Everyone has a phobia. Mine is back to simple basics. Especially for the very young. Too much tinsel goes a long way toward numbing the ‘think box’. That darling little train would be crowded again. Our local organizations would be inspired to fill the gap. No criticism intended Earll. You’d probably have to add more chairs. Treat Street would come alive. : —R&R— Mrs. Mary Hirsch, our neighbor on down Squirrel Creek toward Penn Valley, won three awards in the Art Exhibits. She had a small sculptured angel, a landscape in oil, and one modernistic type of thing. I saw several other entries with her name. Not all had awards. —R&R— Wm. and Hepsi Frank had three: beautiful Shorthorn cattle entered. Young Prince won a blue but his mother and half sister didn’t quite do as well. Hepsi loves her cows as much as I do mine. She works harder at it. —R&R— I saw the produce displays before the judging and so have no idea who had entries there. The new type of display stands seemed quite elegant. I thought especially the vegetables were very beautiful. Hope the Wm. Bursills won a lot of blue ribbons. My nieces love livestock so we saw a lot of the barns. The petting pen intrigued them. I only got thru’ once and saw several groups of our kids there busy as little bees. Especially with their sheep. The girls thought the freshly carded coats felt like down pillows. At least one young exhibitor became quite annoyed with their desire to feel. They are from the city and like my animals too. I often see them way out in the pasture with the cows. What a bet our county will be missing, so far an young (even older) tourists are concerned, if they don’t make the County Park a Farm Park. The Historical Society is trying to interest Pen Valley residents in developing the old Montgomery, Dikeman, Gillam ‘“‘Buttermaker’s Cottage’”” into a Farm Museum. With the Cultural Museum and the Old Theatre for the Arts in Nevada City and the Mining Museum and Empire State Park in Grass Valley what could be more fitting than a Farm Museum in Penn Valley where ranching and agriculture, for this ccunty, really centered. from the tfirne of the very first beef suppliers ior the miners way back in 3850. Penn Valley was the cattle area. Our own Maua Caivert’s father, Jack Taylor. raised, butchered and delivered meat to the whole area from Penn Valley. A few growers, like Manuel Frank trom Reugh and Ready established rancnes eisewhere. —RKR&r—_ .you can get hold of a September issue of National Geographic you’re lucky. Our own Viive Robinson has made it in headlines again. i haven't been abie to get hold of one yet but it’s iiied with goodies about our favorite counties everyone ielis me. Olive is the bit about the iast ar the cross country cattle drives. There’s a lot about goid and peopie also. —R&R— My visiting kids and I took a picnic lunch to White Cloud iast week. It was a Jovely day. The Weather was cooi enough for walking comfortably. We took off down the fire break back ot ihe Campground and found several huge Sugar cones. With a spray of evergreen ‘which even southern California has) and a big red bow ine they have their Christmas door decoration. [ hope iney learned something about our trees. . tried at least. Now we will have to wait and hear how much they can remember to retell to mama. The older one, Michele who is 10 years old, loves them already.-That’s a good start. Hope you all found that fittle booklet “Invite Birds to Your Home’’ at the Fair. If your are interested in roliage large or small that will attract our feathered friends it is very illuminating. It’s put out by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture-Soil Qonservation Service. There is -a home planting plot inside which is a dream. Not entirely practical for most of us but filled with ideas and helpful facts. —R&R— The ecology ‘‘kick’’ is probably with us to Stay. All of the things happening are probably good for us even tho’ many of them hurt. Some are pleasant; some are easy; and some, due to the human frailty of greed, are well ’nigh impossible. Of course, we have to get rid of gasoline fumes even if it hurts. There were three thoughts I have picked up recently, that Annan and Margaret Brown have been working on for a couple of years, in which you might be interested. Coors Co. buys crushed aluminum cans for 10 cents per pound on Wednesdays between 9 a.m. and noon on Clay Road, Nevada City. Since everyone going up Hwy. 20 throws their cans out into our pasture, and I have to pick them up anyway, I think I will start a collection for them. The Seventh Day Adventist Church, 447 Alta Drive, GV, wants anything cotton. I hadn’t thought of it much but you know pure cotton is a rare commodity today. Bless the synthetics they are blended with now. Pure cotton materials, in my youth, were treasured. You could wash, starch, and iron them and they looked like new but who wants to spend long hours ironing these days. Third thought was the Thrift Shop on So. Auburn St., G.V. They want anything resaleable. Their profits all go to a worthy cause cancer. —R&R— The Rough and Ready Grange Feature Booth won second place at the Fair. It was on Natural Resources—timber, and I really believe it deserved at least first. Not just prejudice in favor of Rough and Ready. It really seemed especially informative this year. —R&R— The Fire Dept. booth on Treat Street wasn’t too busy, with only hot and cold drinks, no food. Maybe it’s not as much fun (or work) but it’s easier for everyone just to put it‘on the tax bill. I’m glad we were represented. This seems very important to our community. —R&R— Conne Baer couldn’t stand seeing only four entries when there were 7 spaces available so she put in one just by herself. It wasn’t quite as perfect as far as plant requirements and proper proportions go but it was very clever. She won fifth place. Dini aaiicisidaiaiaietaitncd: ANN aaa a aa a ent
