THE PAST IN PICTURES By Jack Miner ret LABOR DAY AT OLYMPICAPARK It would be presumptious of me to try and describe that first Monday of September at the turn of the century , when the citizens flocked to Olympia Park to honor the working men who had made, and would continue to make, Nevada County one of the freest, proudest and richest in the whole of California. The reproduced poster which invited the public to take parg¥n the Labor D ay celebration, describesit fully. Furthermore I wasn't there. But! hope there will be those who'll read this,. look at the poster and chuckle nostalgically at the memories it stirs; perhaps they'll recall that First Monday in September and still hear the strains of soft music as they swung onto the polished floor of the pavilion; perhaps, if they close their eyes, they can even see the rhythmic beat of Ducotey's baton ashe led his orchestra in the tantalizing three-quarter time of a Viennese waltz. Quien sabe? Political Prospecting eet eC ee Novada County Fair Successful The 1960 version of the Nevada County Fair is history. Pleasant history. From the crowds that attended the fourday exhibition, one might surmise that everyone inthe county attended. Certainly 'the attendance outstripped county population. Nonetheless, we are sure there were some residents of Nevada County who missed the event. It was their loss. One fact cannot be denied. County residents support the 17th Agricultural Dis\erict Fair.

' Juvenile Delinquents Share Society's Values _.—-Juvenile delinquents, commonly pictured as rebels against society, may in reality be following the same values which often govern the adult. world. Three major values seem to underlie the behavior of juvenile delinquents, says Gresham M. Sykes, a criminologist and sociologist, from Dartmouth College, currently a visiting profes-. sor at the University of California, Los Angeles. They are (1) adventure, the search for kicks, (2) exploit, a contempt for work coupled with a taste for luxury, and (3) aggression, a forceful toughness as _a symbol of manhood. _.
