Jackson received a congratulatory birthday telegram from Governor Ronald Reagan for the local chapter of Civil Air Patrol on the CAP’s 32nd birthday. “Members of the California wing of the Civil Air Patrol are to be commended for their volunteer work in performing the majority of air search and rescue missions in California. The fact that volunteer pilots and observers flew the equivalent of 14 times around the world confirms your important contribution to all Californians,’’ the governor’s message reads. The message also commends ' the CAP for its cadet program which provides __ aviation education and_ leadership development for the youth of California Guess we all love the warm glowing lights of Christmas. It seems it isn’t going to happen this year. Chamber President Mrs. Conne Baer says the Christmas scene will be set in Rough and Ready early next week. The town will still have its Candy Cane stripes and Evergreen and Holly berries but lights for the Christmas Tree will probably be limited to just one or two nights. Christmas will be hard for me this year. I was afraid I just wouldn’t be able to stand it at all but I find instead of the usual fun part of it, I am developing a much deeper feeling of Christmas. Everything is supposed to happen for the best. Just possible you too may find there is a bright side to this lightless year. They had a wonderful spirit of Christmas in the olden days in Rough and Ready. Its first Christmas couldn’t have been bright with only candle lights and maybe an occasional kerosene lamp that made it across the plains. Church services that first year were held in a cold Church with stiff uncomfortable benches to sit upon. The Church was somewhere near where Blue Creek crosses under the Highway. What a luxury Downey House must have been the following Christmas with all its comfortable warmth, food and light. No wonder that San Francisco reporter found his Christmas visit there such a memorable experience. To you newcomers, the Downey House stood just to the front and West from Bill’s Market. —R&R— The Rough and Ready Chamber and Rough and Ready Grange are combjning efforts for a Community Christmas Party. They will provide turkey and ham from their treasuries and the potluck dinner will be completely planned. Reservations are required. Everyone in the community is invited to attend. Call for reservations with Conne Baer, Margaret Brown, Alice Licht, Josephine Webb or Leona Wright. Better get your reservations in early. That hall will only hold about 100. It promises to be a fun evening. The Fire Department and the Grange and Fire Ladies are also participating in this community party. This should eliminate a few of the overlapping events. When you call for your reservations the ladies will help you select which portion of the dinner you wish to help supply. It makes me gain weight just to think about all the goodies. This party is set for Friday, December 14, at 6:30 p.m. at the Grange Hall. The Swedish Festival of Lights begins on December 13. Lucia, the Queen of Lights goes about the streets in Sweden with her attendants singing and passing out steaming coffee and saffron bread. We have already found the Cornish people eat saffron bread for their Holiday feasting. Guess it’s a flavor we are going to have to learn to like. There will be a tree at the party but no exchange of gifts. R&R— The ladies of the Grange held their annual , fun luncheon, where they don’t have to do any of the cooking, last Tuesday at the National Hotel Gold Room. At this annual meeting they elected officers for the coming year. They elected Mrs. Thelma Lehman to lead them through another successful year. Mrs. Ola Lee Hale will stand ready to help as Vice Chairperson. Margaret Brown will do the Secretarial chores. Mrs. Alice Licht will take care of the funds of the group. The ladies planned a potluck luncheon for their regular Christmas Party. There will be a Christmas Tree Gift exchange of simple gifts ($2.00). It’s 10:00 noon at the hall on December 18. Bring ‘your favorite Christmas dish. —R&R— Persimmons are on the market just now. Along with dates and raisins they are one of natures finest sweeteners. Use them in cakes, cookies, puddings, and fresh. Gaylord Hauser Says even if you are on a diet they make a good _ healthy dessert. He recommends fruit in place of any refined sweet. In answer to your question, fellow dieters, he says persimmons, due to their sweetness make a particularly satisfying dessert. He also advises a nice large ripe persimmon does add 100 calories. Sorry! Rough and Ready News By Fay Dunbar Mr. Lee Lemargie of the Country Store is home from the hospital. He is pleased with his exceedingly good appetite. Maybe he has the right idea. He just got tired of his continuous nagging pain and had it cut out. According to Mr. Lemargie this severe measure works fine with an ulcer. —R&R— Pvt. and Mrs. Robert Nyce have returned to duty at Fort Riley, Kansas. They spent Thanksgiving at home here in Rough and Ready with their families. Mrs.Nyce is the former Brenda Hill.of Prospector Road and Robert is the son of the Wm. Bursills of Garden Lane. They are proud to announce there will be a nice new Nyce next May. Robert was quite excited also about a recent trip to Germany on Army manuevers. —-R&R— The Joseph Lees spent Thanksgiving in Texas. They were visiting their son who is attending college there. Mary, who still needs some help from her crutches, got the royal treatment. She was escorted to the plane in a wheel chair. —R&R— My almost one hundred year old clock is home from the jeweler. Amazing how comforting the sound of a clock tick becomes. It’s no wonder it’s often recommended for a lonesome new puppy. Put a ticking clock in his bed and he quiets immediately, so they Say. Those constant warm friendly sounds are a welcome sound in an empty house too. I have been told that to a puppy the sound makes him happy because it reminds him of the familiar sound of his mother’s heart beat. If you get a Christmas pet add a hot water bottle to his bed also. You will really have a contented baby. Besides being comforting my clock striking reminds me that time ig fleeting. Now it also brings me lovely music. Mr. Hattox did something to the striking mechanism and the old brassy hammer sound is now a lovely mellow resonant tone. —R&R— Don’t miss the County Historical Society Dinner Thursday, December 6, at 7 30 p.m. at Holiday House. You may have your choice of roast beef or chicken. Reminiscences start at 6:30 if you like. There will be Christmas music by the Newcomers Lyric Ensemble. Mr. Elmer Stevens will install the new officers. Mr. Roman Rozinsky has been nominated as the incoming president and Mrs. Conne Baer and Mr. Hjalmer Berg as Vice Presidents. I have loved every minute as President. I shall be just a Past President and I will be glad to pass the responsibility to new hands. It’s a very difficult job. There will always be plenty of lovely work in this marvelously historical county of ours. Make reservations for dinner at 273-2026 or pick up your tickets at the Yuba River Co., G.V. Hardware, 3Rs Bookstore or Dickerman’s Drug. —R&R— Winter is here. I built a fire in the kitchen Stove yesterday for the first time this winter. It was bright and lovely but, oh, so cold. All our summer visitors except Myrtle Jane and Priscilla have gone home. Everything in the barn is copacetic. Josephine looks as if she would present us with her new babies before Christmas. Seems to me Sweet. William even looks a little proud already. There is just one hitch. I saved two spring lambs for the locker but who is to eat them now. Tom went to a new owner about a week ago but Jerry is still a problem. The garden looks positively frozen. The tomatoes hung from the rafters did ripen but they were ‘asteless. The one I planted last August is growing in soil in a pot on the backporch. It has 6 blossoms. The book said I should have tomatoes for Christmas. There is something wrong with someone’s. time schedule. I am still hoping to get them to ripen eventually. ure
