Fly iy Care needed in winter weather Bad weather, added at a time of holiday rush and excitement, magnifies the ordinary pedestrian traffic dangers to enormous proportions. The California State Automobile Association urges all pedestrians and drivers to put special emphasis on being alert in traffic at this time of year. Bt is always tempting for pedestrians to disregard safety when it is raining, sleeting or snowing as they ‘hurry to complete their business and get to the comfort of their homes. However, this is the worst pos‘sible time to be careless, Deiereased visibility and reduced bewehicle control due to bad weath> er are critical problems to driv‘ers, while pedestrians are coping with slippery streets and Sidewalks. Make sure your children observe all safety measures during the bad weather season---set the example for them by your own careful actions. The CSAA also cautioned parents to check their children's clothing, making sure that rain.coats and snow jackets are brightly colored, and that hats and boots fit properly so children can see clearly. As the poster demonstrates, umbrellas should be carried back of the head so they never interferewith vision. As part of AAA's nationwide school traffic safety education program, this poster is being distributed to all parts of the country.

CALIFORNIA SPEAKS MELODYE CONDOS, entertainer, daughter of Hollywood actress Martha Raye — “Most people condemn scenes and ideas they don’t understand... If you start rearranging other people’s lives and . thinking, you’d better know what you are talking about.” ASSEMBLYMAN ROBERT MONAGAN, Stockton — “I agree with whoever it was said that ‘Anyone’s right to swing his fist ends where my nose begins.’” THE STAR HAD STOPPED The old man was wise, wiser perhaps than most. But it had been a long journey and he was weary to the bone. And wisdom sometimes ‘seems to lose itself when the days are.shambling by and the road is twisted and the dust rides lazily in the silent air. Something had happened. The star had stopped. For many days . . . the mind could not recall how many . .. the old man had been following this star. He first had seen it near the horizon in the east, and was surprised. Had the vagaries of age made him forget the beautiful program of the heavens? Was it indeed time for the But no. .. not in the east! t star of evening to command the skies? So being wise with the wisdom that says no man can know all reasons why, he watched, and followed. It seemed the only thing to do. . . really the only thing left to do in the days that still were his. And now the star had stopped. It hung fairly high over the distant hills, bright and clean. And somehow its rays carried warmth ...a strange thing for a star. A strange and-welcome thing, for there had been little warmth—at least of heart— in the long years behind. There always had been faith ... a faith in something he knew not quite what. There had been courage . . . and the wisdom born of faith and courage. And-now tonight there was a blessed warmth, Grateful, the old man rested on the grassy hillside. Near his head a small white flower bloomed, a sweet small reflection of the star. And as he slowly drifted into sleep .. . the long, long sleep . . . the old man smiled. The star, the flower, had brought him peace; a peace on earth he had never known before. Across the hills .. . far miles away beneath the star ...a baby cried. eee eee Reprinted by request. ees HE ST IOI The Nevada County Nugget Board still unagreed The planning commission told the supervisors Tuesday why it . recommended residential zoning for apiece of property in Glenbrook Heights, but the supervisors still were unable to agree among themselves. The board split 2-2 on a motion to approve R-1 zoning for the Walter Woods property. Then the item was ordered placed on next Tuesday's agenda so Supervisor Henry Loehr, absent this week, can make the deciding vote. : Voting for the residential zoning were Chairman Bret Bennallack and Supervisor William Thomas. Against it were Supervisors Gene Ricker and Lou Hartman, The property in question is at the rear of a subdivision which the board approved for R-1 last week, That action will not become final until an ordinance is adopted later. The commission's support of residential zoning revolved around the adjacency of the Woods land to the homes. Bennallack's and Thomas' yes votes basically were because of the same reasons, It was indicated that the votes’ against this zoning were on the grounds that Woods property ‘also is adjacent on another side to the Fowler lumber yard, making it a possible commercial property. The Woods property: was returned to the commission last week because the original recommendation contained no list of reasons why the commission desired residential. Here are the reasons the commission listed in its reply tothe board this week: ; The Woods property is bordered by residential; it is served by West Olympia Drive which goes through the residential section and which could not support more traffic for a commercial venture; the allegation that taxes would be raised is "without substance. R-1 would not increase the appraised value"; the property is well adapted to R-1 use; the adjacent people want R-1; no alternate zoning is requested by Mr. Woods; and "nosproperty should be left unzoned." This contention by the commission that "no property should be left unzoned" caused one no vote. Planning Director William
Roberts toldthe supervisors that Commissioner Wes Moore “doesn't agree that all of the county should be zoned." Another aspect of this Glenbrook area rezoning was reported to the supervisors, and on that one there seems to be considerable disagreement. The supervisors deleted some property along Highway 20 from the residential zone last week. This Monday, the commission took steps to start proceedings to zone those lands multi-use reson Glenbrook zoning The supervisors indicated they favor commercial for that area, not multi-use residential. County Counsel Leo Todd, who attended Monday's planning meeting, said: "Ht was the consensus, Ithink that they (the commissioners) did not want commercial because in effect it is strip zoning and not ideally situated for commercial because of a lack of parking." The supervisors finally dropped the subject, indicating the situation will be worked out through the hearings before the commission and the superTuesday, December 24, 1968. #7. USE NUGGET ie visors.
