North San Juan News Four signups
with NCSCD
in November
Four new cooperators have
signed with the Nevada County
‘Soil Conservation District during the month of November.
They are: Frank M. Graham,

Stringer, Wheeler Acres area,
home and pasture; Oscar Pfanner, North Columbia area, orchard and woodland; P. L, Congiano, Blue Tent area, tree farm

Re, garbage and the hauling
thereof: Technically, as of this
writing, only people living inside the Colfax City limits and
this end of Nevada county may
use the Colfax dump. Some people living within a mere beer
bottle toss of it cannot use it.
This silly situation was
brought about when the Placer
County Board. of Supervisors
withdrew their finacial support
of the dump. It is estimated
that more county people than
~ Colfax people have always used
the facility. Some Placer county residents drive long distances, bypassing pay dumps,
to unload free at Colfax.
The withdrawal of county
funds has put the city of Colfax
in a financial bind for the dump.
Right now it is open weekends
only. Colfax Fighway area residents in Nevada county may haul
their trash there with head held
high. Their county board renewed the agreement and financial aid with the Colfax council.
for this fiscal year.
Maintaining the dump has been
a constant pain in the clavicle
for the council. There were
complaints about the smoke
until burning was banned, Then
it was the rats. There have
been problems meeting fire laws
and with the equipment. New
anti-pollution regulations plague
the councilmen.
Chicago Park people have
been traditionally tied to Colfax. It is three miles distant;
Grass Valley is nine. Many of
them do the bulk of their shopping there, dine out, attend
church and other fuctions there.
Several Chicago Park residents
work in Colfax. Therefore it
has been convenient to dump
there.
Now the Colfax City Council
longs to get out of the garbage ©
business. If Chicago Park area.
people are excluded from using
the dump before this fiscal year
expires, there will be some financial return to our county
coffers.
If this should happen, until
other plans are firmed, it would
be "Feigh Ho and off to the
McCourtney Dump we go.”
Meanwhile, dump in peace.

and siphon on pond, was given
to 14 landowners who are applying conservation practices. This
activity reflects the many and

the lack of care of the plants.
I remember the first time I
came up the hill from Bridgeport to French Corral, and just
at the crest of the road, saw
the Wells Fargo building, with
a stately palm tree nearby, surrounded on all sides by mountains covered with pines. So
beautiful. Others must agree, as
hardly a day passes without
somebody stopping to take pictures of the scene.
Patsy Blakeslee and Bob
Prout were married Satruday
in the North San Juan Methodist Church, Patsy's attendarts
were Nora Selvester Boeger,
matron of honor, wearing dark
green velvet, and Leath Welker
and Marcia Hatch Hamilton,
bridesmaids, in red velvet. The
bride, of course, was lovely

a chapel train. Bob's brother

All good Democrats in the
North San Juan area should make
an effort to attend an important
event to be held in the Nevada
Union High School multipurpose room Monday, Dec, 13
at 8 p.m. Ernest Gruening of
Alaska will speak on the basic
issues of the coming presidential election, and Professor
Larry Wight, of Sierra College
will comment on the -prospective candidates. Mr. Gruening
served as governor of Alaska
from 1939 to 1953, before statehood was granted the territory,
and as Senator from there,
elected in 1958. The evening
will be interesting and informative.
I learned yesterday that the
petitions circulated recently in
favor of the supervisors voting
to continue the Library Project garnered at least 200 signatures from the North San
Juan area alone: and 2,500, at
least, in the county. That's
something to be proud of. Of
all the people approached out
here, only three or four misguided souls refused to sign the
petition. /
