Government
Spending
Anewreport issued by the Bureau of Pubanalyzes lic Administration at Berkeley,
‘government spending at the federal, state,
and local levels over the past three decades
and concludes that, except for expenditures
related to war, such spending has remained at about the same level sinceWorldWar
II as before. Critics of government spending generally fail totake into account the
effects of inflation on the dollar value of
goods and services, the growth of population, the overall increase inthe nation's
economy, and special features of federal
accounting procedures. The title of the
reportis "Recent Trends in Governmental
Finances inthe United States;" its price
is $2.00 per copy; and it can be ordered
from the Bureau of Public Administration
at Berkeley.

OFF THE HOOK ---Last week was to have seen an electronics industry employing 19 persons announce their
move to the Grass Valley-Nevada City area, , , But they
could not find temporary housing for their present employees, and this week they will announce a move to
Woodland: rather than Grass Valley.. The firm is expanding, and will hire another dozen persons after settling in their new home, .Real estate investors please
note: This isnot the first lost industry because of no rental housing!
THE CONWAY REPORT --John Conway has returned from
Europe in time to read the final letter in his written report to friends at home.....
“Italy was arid and very dry. My cousin, Eckerhardt,
16, and I traveled on a Touropa Tour. The price of the
tour including train fare, all meals, and hotel accommodations with twin beds cost $85 each.
“We left Offenberg and went to Bruckstahl where we
caught the train for Verona and Florenz. I was amazed
to learn that in the middle of the night I was to sleep in
the same compartment with a woman, but I made the
most of an embarrassing situation.
“There were my cousin, a young student from the university, her husband and I---all in the same compartment where we were to sleep fully clothed on tripletiered sleeping benches---with no curtains to separate
the blondes from the stags. Well! That's all I can say.
"But after a few nights of this, I threw modesty to the
four winds and undressed along with all the rest of them
---there we all were, one Eve with three Adams, and
no fig leaves! Well!
"(But, here the sense of values is different---nature
and temperament come first---all else is secondary.)
“We traveled over to Innsbruck, over the beautiful
-Brenner Pass, to Verona, the city of Romeo and Juliet.
There Isaw her grave and the chapel. From Verona we
went to charming Florenz with its delightful churches,
its chapel of Medici and the wonderful statues of Michealangelo---a wonderful, wonderful man. ;
"From Florenz, we traveled to Rome---and again the
beautiful fountains of Michaelangelo---the indescribable

Vatican and museum with the work of Michaelangelo and
Rapoael,...'. 5
"But there were thousands and thousands of people
touring.
“We sat out in an old Roman bath.and saw the opera
‘Turandot’ by Puccini onone of the largest stages in the
world---with over 5,000 people on thestage at once! It
was a gorgeous spectacle with beautiful and outstanding
color combinations. I have never seen anything so
beautiful!
“Then to walk in Rome at night with all of the fountain s
andruins lighted! I spent over $50 buying slides of Michealangelo’s and Raphael's work. The statue of Moses by
Michealangelo is wonderful. It seems actually real.
"Then on to Naples and to Capri---wherel went by boat
all around theisland. Then to Venice, acity I really love,
with its many canals and gondolas and people singing in
the boats.
"But it is so warm it Italy, and in the south so arid.
Capri has no water on it. The island is all volcanic and
water must be shipped from the mainland by boat. It
never rains on Capri. :
“Michaelangelo has made Italy---otherwise the filth ,
the squalor and the heat would make it indescribable.
itis beastly inthe summer. The people do not bathe nor
do they use deodorants, And one drinks only wine and
more wine. But, the wine is very good.
"On the tour with us was a 19-year-old student who
had escaped from East Germany where his father is a high
government official in the Communist State..On our
last night in Italy he wasso sad because hehad to go back
to East Germany, otherwise his family would suffer. He
Was SO very Sad...4.
"Also on the train with us was our train guide, a young
man of 22, who was once a White Russian, but whose
family had escaped. He took me many places where I
could see how the people actually lived and worked.
The poverty of the lower Italian Classes is indescribable,
and the upper classes wear furs, diamonds and real pearis.
A land of contrasts..The Adriatic Sea of differences.
"So there we were---the four of us: the German, the
Communist, the WhiteRussian, and the Calvinistic Capitalist---all held together by the depth and understanding
of Michaelangelo, the beauty and music of Puccini, the
charm of the peaceful fountains. . and held together by
the spirit of Christ, His cross, and the many churches
with all their beauty..and, aswe sat on our last night
on the train drinking together, all four of us, a cheap
bottle of red wine, I thought of my friend, Michaelangelo,
and of his statue of Moses whose penetrating eyes look
with amazement and a deep hurt--eyes that seem to say,
“You do not understand, I have come to say ‘Love Thy
ow
Neighbor".

The Past
In
Pictures
The first National Hotel in Nevada City burned down
in September 1852. The new building went up in ‘54 on
Broad Street and still serves tourist and drummer alike;
drummer was a traveling salesman in those days.
This isa very rare photograph of the hotel's bar in the
1880's when Bayliss S, Rector woned the National. You
could get almost any service your heart desired within
the confines of the hotel in those days, and you could
slake your thirst, whether constant or just temporary, at
the elegant bar.
And it was here the White Layd lived on a pedestal,
shenever left the barroom until things of the past went
out of fashion for the moment. So she went. Where, I
surely would like to know.
And the man in the white jacket was barber William
Walters who lived on Coyote remember? The gentleman with the beard was Bayliss himself; the bar keeper
was Bachigalupi, a handle-mustached, genial Italian.
The Lady
In White
Can anyone tell me what happened tothe Lady in White?
Did some antique. dealer pick her up for a song with so
many other momentos of Nevada City's gold rush era?
Letters To
(Copy of a letter sent to the
Hwy. Patrol, Grass Valley.)
Dear Sirs:
Once more the intersection
of Highway 20 and Nevada
Street has been the scene of
a crash--this one the worst
yet-the little man from Montana is dead,
Since a death seemed to
bethe requirement, and you
have now had one, could you
see toit to install the warning blinkers so necessary to
make the intersection safe,
or must new legislation be
enacted to empower the ruling body to spend the needed
funds to protect the three little kindergarteners who will
be leaving the school bus at
that exact corner when school
starts in a few days?
Or must their safety be a
"catch as catch can” business
because that intersection has
not yet been proven dangerous enough to give any feeling of responsibility for the
safety of pedestrians?
The young woman who
lives inside the fence across
the road actually keeps a
clean blanket where she can
instantly snatch it to cover
victims against shock, and
she hasreported so many accidents to the Sheriff's Office
The Editor ,
that they know her voi¢e and
need never ask “where”,
Weare asking in all sincerity, how much does it take
in pain, grief, heartache,
regret, money spent for hospitalization and now for burial costs before the influential peopleto come to a realizing sense and change any
legislation that allows such
stupidities to exist in the
name and to the shame of the
word “law"?
Sincerely yours,
Margaret Hamblin

Dear Editors:
I almost have to put your
paper under lock and key-until I can read it first.
Our editor, Mr, Brooks,
spent his vacation up in your
part of the country--he said
he had only one regret about
his vacation and that was be-.
cause he couldn't turn around
and go right back to stay!
Do youknow where! could
send to get colored postcards
of The Skunk? I would sure
like to see what it looks like?
All the luck in the world
to such fine people as you
editors,
Adios for now,
