NEVADA CITY COUNCIL SHOULD BE CONGRATULATED ON NEW APPOINTEE The Nevada City Council should be . praised for its selection of Mrs. Carole Friedrich to serve out the unexpired term of former Councilman Bob Carr. Mrs. Friedrich and the other candidates for the council seat should also be congratulated for their willingness to take on the joys and woes of public office. , The council should be praised for its choice, because they picked a candidate who, in her public and private statements, has indicated that she is in accord with the aims of the present council and is willing to work to implement these for the betterment of the ClEYv. Too often we hear people complain about their local government but too seldom do we see or hear of any who are willing to step forward to do anything about these complaints. The addition of Mrs. Friedrich to the council should help the city to move forward more quickly toward solutions of the problems of water, zoning, parking, and those created by the freeway. GRASS VALLEY JAYCEES PROVED CONVENTION CAN BE HANDLED WELL HERE The state board meeting of the California Junior Chamber of Commerce hosted last weekend at the Nevada County District Fairgrounds by the Grass Valley Jaycees proved many things about the recreation appeal and potential of our area in dramatic fashion. First the Grass Valley Jaycees showed, despite or inspite of the warnings of many, just how much a few people can accomplish if they are determined and organized. The convention showed also that the area is able to house, feed, transport andentertain groups as large as 1,500 if people are willing to plan and work. The use of the fairgrounds as the convention site proved that we do have the local facilities to host large con-, ventions andaffordedthe Fair Association some of the best free advertising they will ever get. The Jaycees from all over the state were received in friendly fashion in both Grass Valley and Nevada City throughout the weekend and this is important because the kind of reception they received will be remembered when they are thinking ofa place to visit in the future. The Jaycees were amazed at the beauty of our area and climate and delighted with the old gold town atmosphere. Many of them are still here and plan to spendtheir vacation at the various lakes, streams and camping facilities in the county. We have said many times before that the recreation dollar is one of the best that can be made in this area because more of that dollar stays here. We have also said in the past that to get that recreation dollar we have to get the recreationist here. The Jaycee convention didthis in dramatic style andthe word of the advantages of our area is now being spread throughout California by the best advertising medium in the world--the word of people who have enjoyed themselves. IN THE FOOTHILLS VEIN SIERRA COUNTY SUPERVISORS MAY BE SORRY ABOUT ZONING It wassad for us to read that Sierra County Supervisors: recently passed a zoning ordinance and then recinded it a week later. It is sad because although it may be a few years in coming, the real estate and growth boom will eventually come to little Sierra County and with it will come all of the growth problems we are now facing here. Sierra County may not need a zoning ordinance now, but they will need one in the not too distant future and when that time comes the vested interests who can make a profit from the unregulated use of land will fight the county government in Sierra County just as hard as they are fighting here. +e teeetert OTICES TO ALL WHITE CITIZENS GREETINGS: STOP Buying FORD CARS and TRUCKS and other Ford Products For years and years a considerable portion of the profits from the sale of Ford cars, trucks and other Ford products have been funneled into tax free foundations. MILLIONS and MILLIONS and MILLIONS of dollars of Ford profits have been distributed to integration and civil rights organizations to fight the white people of the SOUTH, by forcing them to associate with negroes. It is time to dry up at least one source of the money that is being used to destroy our Southern way of life. DON’T BUY A FORD EVER AGAIN For additional copies of this circular, write CITIZENS’ COUNCIL OF GREATER NEW ORLEANS, INC. 509 Delta Building New Orleans Lovisiona 70112 The war is on in Nevada County and anyone who doubts it feed gono further than to read the poster shown in this column. This little piece of vicious material was nailed toatelephone pole in Grass Valley yesterday. People in this area have always taken the attitude that things are bad elsewhere, but it couldn't happen here. It can and will happen here if we allow to run unchecked the nameless and faceless people in our county who send dirty letters to people who dare speak out and who slip around , and nail up racist posters. It is time that people here woke upand realized what kind of vicious atmosphere is being generated by the K ook Clan here in Nevada County. That poster didn't fly from New Orleans and land on that power pole; someone from our area went out with hammer and nails and put it there. — + AEE a OF We found only one thing to gripe about the Jaycee convention last weekend and that was the choice of actor -senate candidate G eorge Murphy as the keynote speaker. I buttonholed or was buttonholed by one of Mr. Murphy's entourage Saturday morning. I said 1 would be taking pictures during the lunch and.asked if I could have a copy of his speech. "Oh, no," the aide replied pulling a copy of a speech fromhis briefcase. "Ihave a copy here, but this is much too political and Mr. Murphy will want to modify it to make it in keeping with the non -political atmosphere of the Junior Chamber." 1 decided I would just have to make do and went and took pictures and notes too. I was amazed when I read the story of the speech in the Chronicle Sunday for I never heard any of the lines they quoted delivered in the speech in Grass Valley. The Chronicle must have received the copy of the speech'l didn't get. If the speech given by Murphy.in.Grass Valley was non-political his political speeches must be wild, CALIFORNIA GREATER LEISURE POINTS ---Don Hoagland ATTENTION TO OUR ENVIROMENT As our society has become more educated, as the work week has shortened and allowed more leisure time, as: the population has become more affluent, the demand for and appreciation of the physical environment has, and willcontinueto become, the prime motivating factor in the determination of where to live. Therefore, we must concern ourselves with the design of surroundings created and built by man. A better, a more livable, a more beautiful environment should be our first priority in planning for the 1980's. There are those who have described our urban efforts as “the mess that is man-made America". And to some degree they may be right. As we approach many of our cities our gateways range from slums, to railroad yards, toused car lots, to junk yards, to makeshift amusement centers.Our cities do demand our attention, The population ex pansion andthe desperate need to replace obsolete structures from schools to slums offer a great opportunity to turn the state's urban centers from a so-called “mess” into efficient, harmonious, livable, and beautivul environments. We should no longer be satisfied with blighted areas, with garishness and vulgarity in building design, with office ghettos, commercial ghettos or amusement ghettos. We are becoming hungry for the life of more beautiful buildings, well-designed streets, havens for culture, and attractive downtown malls where people can relax and enjoy the water patterns of a fountain or the beauty of sculpture against greenlawns, flowers and trees. Perhaps wecan take a lesson from the builders of Paris, Copenhagen and Stockholm. They designed these cities for the enjoyment of people and to make the cores of the city interesting and. magnetic. The designs were not intended solely to increase the business of merchants. However, attention to aesthetics does pay handsome business dividends -witness the success of the Millard Sheets-designed shopping mall in Pomona. We should not be content with residential communities offering only dreary uniformity because of the regularity $96T ‘9 wn8ny***1083nN Aiun0D epeAen’ ** 3)
