It is necessary for a writer of such a column of trivia as this to be an historical scavenger. Save
hundreds of old photographs, yellowed news clippings. Never throw anything away if it fits into the
formula that keeps this space filled week after week. And so it is with the items and photos that
follow. Prepared for last week and not used in view of more appropriate materials, I, as an historical scavenger could not throw it away.
Readers laughed last Thursday when I sat down to the piano and predicted that the winter of 1963-_
and ‘64 will be the most severe in Névada County in over 73 years. Quickly coming to my defense
with confirmation are Tammy and Sylvester, Margaret Meggs" two sister cats of mixed blood, now
permanent residents at Walsh Street, Grass Valley, after having been born in the mild climate of La
‘Jolla. This year Tammy and Sylvester have the heaviest fur coats and at this hour, with the fur still
growing, resemble dogs more than they do cats. Nature knows it is going to be a rough winter and
Tammy and Sylvester are being provided with under the chin wooden casks to assist in rescue work
when the real big storm hits on February 21, 1964.
There is a news story in every living human on
earth if the reporter digs but a little. Will you guess
what is the story in Ruth Mickelson Brown who lives
at 411 South Auburn Street, Grass Valley, Well, Ruth
simply refuses to write letters to her friends or rela~
tives wherever they may be, but-if you have a tape
recording machine, she will gladly talk to you by
‘tape, singing songs, providing recipes, chatty GV
news items. Some of her verbal letters are exchanged
as far away as the Philippine Islands. The only problem is that in order to communicate with her the initial cost is about $25.00. I phone her instead at Grass
Valley 273-6776.

On December 1 Nevada City's proudest 1963 contribution to better living will be the 18 unit apartment complex on Upper Spring Street. All the niceties of good living, wall to wall carpeting, drapes,
garbage disposal, air -conditioning and friendly tenants, but who remembers (besides Elza Kilroy) that
the Miners‘ Foundry was first located on this site, as pictured, and for years Dick Bennetts maintained
his botanical gardens in this magnificent setting. Today the location has the well-chosen name of
NEVADA GARDENS,

Write and let me know how many of you readers enjoyed Thanksgiving Dinner at the National Hotel on November 26, 1908. Thanksgiving Dinner is still served at the National in its exciting Victorian Room, but alas and alack, sweet and low chamber music is no
longer provided by Professor Henry Lewis and his Nevada City Orchestra, bur for a dime in the adjoining historical bar you can get
the likes of "CRY ME A RIVER" byJulie London, or Andy Williams’
"SO LITTLE TIME”, or Eyde Gorme "GUESS I SHOULD HAVE
LOVED HIM MORE", The setting is just as glamorous, the Thanksgiving banquet will be just as enjoyable, the music just as delightful, it's only that we live in‘changing times.
