In Grass Valley, some seem to think it is worse than treason to ask such questions. And when it comesto questioning the wisdom of the highway engineers, why, that's plain lunacy.

A good test might be to-ask the city council to ask the Division of Highways for detailed drawings or “renderings” of the finished freeway inGrass Valley.

For instance, there was that article in the Feb. 1 issue of Newsweek, about a report issued by the president of the National PTA, Mrs. Jennelle Moorhead. Mrs. Moorhead warned that local extremists Foothill League Conference Is Held By Sandy Farber \ Student Council members attended a student leader conference last Saturday. It was held at Placer High School in Auburn. All schools in the Sierra Foothill League were represented and discussed school activities, rules, and traditions. Cokie Lewis spoke on school dances and Sandy Farber discussed exchange rallies and football queens. The second conference will be held in Sacramento at Bella, Vista High School on March 19, It is an invitational conference sponsored by Bella Vista and will be attended by student council members from all the high schools in the greater Sacramento and outlying areas. The representatives at both conferences will go by bus. They are: Janis Paul, Tina Beal, Linda Peters, Doug Moore, Buckey Brattin,. Jerry Chan, Dave Painter, Sandy Farber, Cokie Lewis, Chuck Woodbury, Brian Frink, Tom Lott, Pam McGregor, and Steve Caulkins. The 10th annual Lion's Speaking contest will be held today in Mr, Elmer Steven'sspeech class. Anyone in the 9th through 12th grade is eligible. Plans are being made for the Senior Ball to be held on Saturday, May 1. Cardboard. models suggesting the theme should be turned in to any Senior cabinet member or Officer. L’S GOLD Freeways.Extremists.T-Man are dedicated to pulling the local chapters out of the national organization which supports the United Nations, school integration, and Federal aid to education. "At first we didn't believe it was happening," Mrs. Moorhead explained. “Then we thought it would go away and that, if we didn't publicize it, it wouldn't grow. But it has been growing. Last year was the worst yet. " Mrs. Moorhead predicted further right-wing onslaughts against local P.T.A, in several states, including California. “The extremists are not really after the PTA," she said. “They're after public education itself. " In the light of that article about the national PTA, some people are wondering just what Mrs. Jewel Reynolds, president of our local junior high PTA, is up to, She wrote a letter to the 3rd District PTA, in which she said she can agree with a woman in Southern California who called the PTA a “dictatorship. ” “You only want rubber stamps of what you think and say,“ Mrs, R, wrote tothe District, "Are PTA presidents only to parrot what national says? Amen!” ++ eet That Internal Revenue man who has been making a survey. of tax filing practices of Nevada City merchants seemed to be taking himself a little too seriously for the happy people of this town. It wasn't so bad that he-discreetly flashed his credentials, Even the questions he asked were modest enough. It's just that he never smiled, much less laughed, at anyone's jokes!
