Dunbar 273-2934 You can just about depend on it, midwinter's worst storm will issu Last Wednesday, in Rough and Ready's worst storm in several years, we had three of them. Cutie Pie only gave us one this year but he sure is a whopper and black as the ace of spades. It still amazes me that they can be so completely black and yet grow up to be white. Of course he is of a very proud lineage and will bear the proper black markings. Sweet William (Bill #2 on his papers) can be very proud of him. We don't follow up with registering our babies but we like good blood so they will be good looking and nice and strong. Josephine had two babies one boy and one girl. The little girl had a bit of trouble at first. Mother tried to nelp her but she simply couldn't find the food supply. She is an extra big baby with very long legs and now that she has gotten the hang of the thing she gets down on her knees and everything is in the proper perspective. She still looks to me for her bottle when she hears my voice. She really is a little glutton, Thank goodness those three hour bottles (until midnight) are over for a while at least. Bathsheba doesn't act too enthusiastic but I hope she will have babies soon, Our barn is big and not too cold but we have an infrared lamp in both lambing pens. The babies scoot under them as soon as they are full of warm milk and they don't even know it's cold, But even with sweaters, boots, and my warm chore coat I sure do, I had to hang my coat outside until I get it to the cleaner. I smell more like a sheep than they do. Ok KKK KKK KR KOK OK KOK KOK OK * Snow kind of spoiled Planning Director Stanley Mansfield's meeting about Rough and Ready zoning last Wednesday night. A lot of interested people carne in spite of it all but it sure took courage. The meeting broke up a little early and we came home in a white, white world, Mrs, Alan Campbell, who lives on down Highway 20 a piece from us, and I enjoyed the discussion and learned a lot but found we were just beyond the area to be zoned. There were several others there who came to learn and were not actually involved, "Bob" Caris, our area planning commissioner, attended ‘but did not speak. David Porter, assistant to Mansfield, who is a resident of our own community, made the presentation and answered the specific questions about our area, They base the zoning on the General Plan, adjust (some) for current usage, apply all state and county regulations and actually there isn't much leeway left. I was very pleased with it all. But then I am kind of naive about such things. Can't see what would be accomplished by hurting someone if it wouldn't be for the common good, In America this still comes first, Wait until they decide to zone our 1200-plus-foot frontage commercial (which I am sure they won't) then you will hear me yell. Common good be hanged. It would increase our taxes even more and would cut down on the number of cute babies we could raise around here. There is very little allowed for "commercial"' in Rough and Ready, which pleased me immensely but upset some. There were mutterings of “this is the Township of Rough and Ready and we have some rights." Mansfield said zoned this way it would help them to keep the undesirable types of commercial ventures in really commercial areas. Any increase in mobile homes except -in specified areas will be hit hard, I’m a great one for believing that everyone should have. the right to put the kind of home he wants on his own property but I sure go along with insisting that proper protective (or beauty and ecology) lot sizes be required for everyone. Now that miserable tax break is something else again. I'm again it. Just as I am agin the unfair tax breaks that millionaires hunt up. for themselves so that they can get out of bearing their proper share of the tax burden. These "breaks" mean that you and I are paying enough to take care of their share also. I can't approve of the type of people that usually take advantage but "breaks" should all be made illegal. They are unamerican and discriminating. I guess that is a double positive but I feel emphatic. Nothing is gained by just getting angry with our neighbors because they are getting a better break than we are. It just relieves the steam that we could better use to get those "breaks" removed.
