LIP CODE Letters To The Editor When we arrived in Nevada County, we sensed a change in people, First, for the first time in many moons, we had people say hello! to us, _ Speak real friendly and make us feel right at homes It wasa good feeling, over in Grass Valley, they made us. feel wanted. Here in Nevada City we ‘find the same good spirit. Its hello there, and how are you at every turn. The friendliness in our county is worthall the gold still underground, in fact we would rather have it than gold, many times. Strangers inour office have noticed this and have commented on it. Makes us feel quite proud and now after a few days we are beginning to catch the spirit and we now say Hello! to everyone. Another thing about our people in this region, They eat out a lot. Most every evening there is a dinner somewhere or people just get together and go to a good eating spot. There are many of them around so it is 1:9 problem. We will bet there area lotof cold stoves around these evenings for the folks are out to dinner and visiting friends. This is good business for all concerned. There must be about a hundred or ganizations around here, all have good member lists and they like to have dinner meetings, lunch meetings and some of the more ‘izorous have breakfast meetings. We are the meetingest people in the State of California, that is how all the news and gossip gets around. Ally--uhave todo is tell someone something and before the next day you will hear about it. This is what we call in the book, good community living! We don't need radio or television just go to one of the group meetings and the word is out on the grapevine, Now, we ask you; isn't this,the good life? We like it; we like the weather; we like the friends we have made and those we are making but we just don't know what we are going to do about the rain. Been living in the dry section of California too long, I guess! Come on over for dinner sometime! HELPS A LITTLE Nevada City was one oi 12 cities to participate in arecent survey of the effectiveness of the ZIP Code and the response indicated that while‘ the code does not get a first class letter to its destinationany faster, it also will not slow it down. The survey was made by Horace Ayres, staff writer for the Baltmore Sun and a former staff member of ‘The Nugget. Ayres made the study in response to several complaints that letters with ZIP Code were sometimes delivered later than those without the code. Ayres made a random sampling in 12 cities in the United State including NevadaC ity, Monterey and Lodi in California, Boise, Idaho, Roseburg, Ore, Keokuk, lowa; Lockport; NY, Columbus, Ohio; St. Paul, Minn, and Salisisbury and Cumberland, Md. and Honolulu, Hawaii. Three letters one with the correct ZIP Code, one without the code and one with an incorrect code, were mailed to newspapers in each of the 12 cities, Itwas 25 years ago to this date that the Japanese Forces attacked Pearl Harbor ina brutal surprise attack by mass planes that rendered , untold damage and killed some 4,000 Americans! The Nugget is indebted to our own George Brooks for the spectacular picture reproducedabove. Mr. Brooks, a Chief Petty Officer in the Navy with the classification; Torpedo-Man. He was flown out to PearlHarbor and spent weeks diving in salvage crews on sunken Men-of-War, America went on to win the war and overthrow the Japanese war Leaders, reconstituting a new Japanese Government, that is today our staunch ally in the Far East. The memory of Pearl Harbor is strong in all of us who were alive 25 years ago onthe ''Day of Infamy.'' We do not celebrate Pear] Harbor, but we observe the anniversary as a reminder of what did happen on that fatal day, December 7, 1941. To the Editor The first thing that I liked in the Nuggett was the poem about the bridge. I think I helped build it a good many years ago, it was called (I think) the Bridge of Sighs. But I hope that I never have to go over it again. ; Mainly a young lad and lassie will, and they to will knowwhen they get old and gray whatI mean. They'll have many happy memories. The other story I like is about your cat Percy, I love all animals even the rats that used to live in the mines. When the men ate their lunch they: would set on your leg and the miners fed them. Any man that tried to hurt them would get his block knocked off, he gota beating and then fired. The rats savedmany mens lives in the mines, you see when the men seen the rats running out of a stoppe they knew it was going to cave and they would get out in time. Years ago when sailing ships were. Many came in to San Francisco the rats saved a good many sailors lives. If the ship ‘was going to have any bad trouble the rats would leave the ship. That is why I like all animals I know the rat is a rodent and not an animal so. what! I wouldnot be here today if it was not for the rats in a certain mine where I worked.
