wares eeev es eemeeete ‘Entered December 5, 1926, as second class matter at the office at Nevada City, California, under Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. Adjudicated a legal newspaper November 6, 1951, in Nevada County Subscription: Yearly $3.00; Six Months $1.75 ; Advertising Rates on PeEne: . Superior Court, Decree No. 10023. PUBLISHER’S NOTE. "The Nevada County Nugget is dedicated to the best interest of the taxpayers of Nevada County, and to do everything possible for the benefit of the county with fairness to everyone. . Wedonot expect everyone to agree with us, but we would be very happy to hear from you whether you agree with us or not. We are all entitled to our opinion. As long as Iam the publisher of this paper the people will receive the honest facts regardless of “whose toes we may have to tread upon” and the public . can form their own opinion. Nevada County Develepmeiit Report The Nevada. County Development Council has submitted their written report on the advantages and disadvantages of our area for the attraction of industry and payrolls. We wish to compliment them on their report. One of our greatest drawbacks in attracting industry are the high freight rates any industry will have to pay to and from this area. It is cheaper to ship from San Jose to Seattle than it is from the Grags Valley-Nevada City area. The statement that we have in our community—and we quote from the report: “And that unfortunately we do have a vocal, anti-progressive, minority group within our community who seem in the past few years, to be wielding much more influence than. they are entitled to”, appears to us to have been made without much consideration for the actual views and ideas of that so-called minority group. Every group of good citizens should be entitled to wield influence in forming the destiny of this community. The amount of influence any good group should have should not be questioned so long as they are working, first, last and always for the good of every citizen of our community. As to what constitutes that which is “good’’ for a community is a very broad question. We certainly want industry and payrolls and we are positive that the minority group wants the same advancement as everyone does—but it must be done on a basis that will rere a benefit to all concerned and not to any individual group for their personal gain at the taxpayers expense. Tf the influential minority group is wielding more influence than they are entitled to, we certainly would like to know their names. Perhaps they are the old timers—the “Cousin Jacks”, who feel they have earned a voice in the affairs of our community by unselfish devotion to each and all of us throughout the years. Perhaps they represent a group whose only axe to grind is-the.welfare of our community. Perhaps they are a dying breed of men who never bowed their head to any individual, group of individuals, who claimed to be wise, wealthy and aggressive. Perhaps they are a group of men who have earned the right to wield more influence than some comparative stranger-. a decade. Lee H.

He was a fairly: good looking RB desired to have his first assi ent one of benefit for his flock. and.to create and to build for the honor and glory: of the final Judge of us all. He worked hard, very hard. He was unmarried,.and did not, because of his small salary, give too much consideration to matrimony. There was a woman in _ his minister was adamant. Finally, he emphatically said “no” to the lady. Shortly thereafter, it came to him ‘that all sorts of adverse rumors were spreading like wildfire about him. He was having an affair with this one and that one—without any names_ being mentioned—and every once in a while he would take’ a “nip” jor two behind closed doors with his love at the moment. Why, even some of the women were seen going to his house without corsets! He should be run out of town and his pastaraiip taken away from hiin.All of theserumors came to the honest minister, and they ruined his health; he became ill and lost the! desire to live. The woman who started all the rumors repented’ and went to the minister and ask him what she could do to rectify her statements. The mimister told her -to take a feather pillow up to the belfrey, open the pillow and seatter the feathers to the four “winds: The lady did this—and returned to the minister and reported that she had fulfilled his
request and could she do anything further for him. “Yes, you may,” said the minister. “Go out now and pick up all the feathers and replace them in the pillow.”.“‘But I can’t do that, Reverend, for it would be impossible to pick them all up,” rpelied the lady. “That is true,” replied the Reverend. “And so it is :mpossible to completely clear my name in the minds of all the people who have heard the vicious and untrue rumors you. have spread about me. Go and sin no more. You are forgiven. Remember there are more ways than one to murder an individual.” ° The minister tried to recover from the onslaught of adverse public opinion, but couldn’t! He soon died of a broken heart, for the thought of death had become more amusing: to him than the perplexities of living — and. the lack of genuine friendship from the people, he wanted so much to serve.

Although she is only 19, Nancie is-one of the few professional boat testers at Cypress Gardens, Florida, and is' also one of the few women—or men, for that matter—who can water ski on her bare feet. Her water ski jump record is close to 90 feet; the men’s record is 125 feet. A record-breaking attendance of more than -250,000people is expected for the sports and boat show, and the greatest number of boats, fishing gear, camping and hunting equipment, water skis, archery equipment and other exhibits will make it the largest exposition of its kind ever held west of Chicago. King Salmon Fag} Production Soars The king salmon, which pulled a “disappearing act” last year, is showing signs of returning to California this year—at least to its ancestral spawning grounds. The Department of Fish and Game reported last week that egg production at the two king salmon hatcheries in California is well ahead of last year. Through anuary 5, the federal Coleman Hatchery, operated on Battle Creek near Redding by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reported 28,037,000 king salmon eggs taken, plus 376,000 silver salmon eggs. This is well ahead of the full-year average of 26,000,000 eggs over the last seven years. _ Fish. are still running near Keswick Dam and up Battle Creek and a million eggs per day are still being taken by federal hatchery workers. Coleman officlals expect the season total to run between 32,000,000 and 35,000,000 eggs. . At Nimbus Hatchery on the American River below Nimbus Dam, the Department of Fish and Game reports the largest egg production since the hatchery began operation in October, 1955. The department, which operates the hatchery with the support of federal Bureau of Reclamation funds, reported 13,402,000 king salmon eggs taken through December 31. This is 16 times the production of last year when only 847,000 king salmon eggs were taken. The Nimbus eggs were taken from 10,149 adult salmon, of which 3,000 arrived during December. In addition, at least another 4,707 fish got through the hatchery racks (which diyert most fish to the hatchery ladder) and spawned in the small area below Nimbus Dam. “HEARTS” Hearts that are great beat never loud; They muffle their music when *%=— they come, And they hurry away from the thronging crowd. © But-when great hearts have come and -passed away, Men kneel in awe and kiss their shroud, And kneel around their clay.

Editor Nevada County Nugget, Nevada City, California. Dear,Editor: California fairs in 1958 experienced their greatest season, with approximately 8,000,000 attending our “outdoor colleges of knowledge.” A great part of this success ‘may be traced directly to the state’s newspapers, including the Nevada County Nugget, which have contributed generously with both staff time and space. The value of California fairs in our way of life is tremendous, not only to the 20,000 4-H Club members who participate, the 10,000 Future Farmers of America who demonstrate skills, and those who enter approximately} 400,000 displays in: competition, but to the millions who. benefit indirectly through payrolls, improved quality of goods, and wholesome recreation. To tell this story. and one other that fairgrounds with their many facilities -have-become centers without one cent of local taxation has been a powerful stimulant. The 79 state-supported fairs in California are, in a large part, financed through a 4.per cent levy against money -bet—at race tracks. On behalf of the fairs in California, Western Fairs Association would like to thank the editorial staff of the Nevada County Nugget for the monéy favors in 1958 —-with the promise that our expositions will be even greatér in 1959. To know our western fairs. heres a golden graphic story. STUART B. WAITE, ~President Western. Fairs Association.
