A scene out of old Greece
came to life with the annual
seventh grade Greek Dinner,
Wednesday night, Feb. 9. The
toga-clad students gathered in
the multi-purpose room at Lyman Gilmore at 6 p.m.
D. W. Butts, social studies
instructor, started the affair
three years ago. The festivities
are the culmination of a unit
of study about Greece. The dinner helps the students have a
more meaningful experience and
to better understand the customs of the Greeks.
Butts was wearing a green
toga with a purple head-band.
Jim Euff, clad in a mustard
colored toga, was taking pictures. He teaches English and
Spanish.
Cloths were spread on the
floor to accommodate the 175
guests present. The "tables"
were heaped with food, Traditional grapes, nuts, chicken,
oranges, French bread and apples looked very colorful in the
candlelight.
Following the dinner several
plays were presented by the
youngsters. Among them "King
Mida's Touch," "Pandon's Box,’
and ''The Death of Leonides."'

Caucus held
in Chico for
Sen. McGovern .
According to the Nevada
County Democrats who attended
the McGovern for President
caucus in Chico Saturday, it was
a mink-to-moccasin, youththrough-age attendance, all focusing their efforts to make
successful the first statewide
attempt at grass-root reform
of the nation's method of selecting presidential candidates.

every segment of the population
were chosen, and the final required 12 showed a surprising
cross-section from the large

of which Nevada county is
a member. ’
The 232 registered voters
present gave the nod to Grass
Valley's George Burcham,
There were, besides Mr. Burcham, five men and five women
elected, including a just-18year-old black girl, Kathy Scott.
Six of the 12 candidates will
be. chosen to be McGovern delegates; each congressional district will have a representative
toassist in the choice. They
will meet this week at the Sheraton-Palace Hotel in Los
Angeles.
Debbie Rossi, the 22-year-old
student. was* selected as the
second district representative.

‘members included Evelyn Burcham, Mary hoehr, Ise Barnhart, Bruce Farley, Janet Micoleau and Elaine McPherson,

“Notes off the Cuff’’
By P. L. Smith
Among statistics calculated
make one sit up and take
eek is this little dilly from
a survey made by the Responsive Analysis Corporation of
Princeton, N. J., for the National Bureau of Advertising:
"There were 31.2 million working women in the United States
in 1970 as compared to 12.8
million working women in 1940,
Between 1960-70, the number
of working women increased
35% — or more than twice as
fast as the 16% growth for the’
total population." It certainly
doesn't take any particular
genius for math to figure ahead
— on that basis — to some
rather incredible possibilities
within the next ten years, does
it?

A senior citizen friend of
mine has just returned from
an extended visit with relatives
on the East Coast. Her family ;
expressed concern about her
return West.. .to an area
none of them has ever seen..
or, wanted to apparently. They
told her, she says, that "any
time you want to come back
here where it is quiet, cultured
and civilized, dear, we'll have a
place for you." She said it made
her feel as tho’ she were returning to a "Cavalry and Indians" situation back in the
1800's. . . .and went on to say
that her brief tours of New York
City, Washington, D.C., and
other such "civilized" centers
back yonder, made her more
than ready to return to the
blessings of life in Nevada
County!

Gadzooks! What they won't
take a census on next! But it
is certainly a big relief to know
that the "long toed Salamander
Survives". -in Santa Cruz,
at least. A friend of mine, who
is an inveterate seeker of the
odd and unusual in newspapers,
sent me a wire service story
which assures us that the Santa
Cruz long-toed salamander,
feared near extinction, apparently is alive and doing quite
well, thank you; in its last remaining breeding pond eight
miles from that resort city on
the Central California coast. A
recent weekend count (head. or
tail not specified in the article) turned up more than 600
of the eight-inch amphibians.
For the more technically
minded among us, the proper
name for these -shy, friendly,
slithery little critters is "Ambystoma macrodactylum croceum." And if you so much as
harm a hair (hair on salamanders?) on one of their shy little
heads, it'll cost you a fine of
$1,000. . .because they are on
both the state and federal "endangered species" lists!
Thanks for the clipping, Julie
things like this are nice
to know about!

There was a minor fenderbender in the 300 block of Broad
Street one day recently, and it
certainly jammed .up traffic for
a period of about 15 minutes or
so. After what appeared to be
a completely friendly exchange
of information between the two
involved drivers; and a consultation with an equally friendly
policeman, everything somehow
got straightened out with a minimum of fuss and furor. Just
as traffic began to move again,
however, the inevitable happened. . . .Someone came up Pine
Street, slowed slightly and made
a right turn into Broad. . .
slithered to a stop behind the
line of slowly moving traffic
. . eand started honking impatiently! It really made that
party look a bit silly, dontcha
know. It must have been a
stranger. ..rarely do you find
any of our locals that are impatient on our admittedly narrow
streets.
