Editorial Tahoe National Forest Week This week has been proclaimed Tahoe National Forest Week in Nevada City by Mayor Robert Carr. In this way the city is expressing its welcome. Tahoe National Forest personnel moved into their new headquarters building on Highway 49 at the Coyote Street intersection in Ortober. The Nevada City Chamber of Commerce will welcome the forest service at the chamber's annual installation dinner Saturday evening. With the cooperation of the chamber and auxiliary, the Tahoe National Forest headquarters will be open Sunday afternoon between 1 and 5 p.m. in an open house that willallow residents to see the structure and hear of forest service work there from the men who comprise the headquarters staff. From the standpoint of the Nevada County economy, location of the Tahoe National Headquarters in the county is very important. The USFS payroll is one of the biggestin the county. All of Nevada County benefits from that fact. To Nevada City, the economic impact of being “headquarter city" is extremely important. Nevada City has been “home" to the national forest staff for many years, and local residents hope thatremains fact into the distant future. But Tahoe National Forest is not merely an industry witha large and. welcome payroll. The staff of Tahoe National Forest is dedicatedtothe conservation and wise multiple use of a beautiful forest that covers portions of this and four other California counties in the Sierra-Nevada. The TNF staff has been understandably busier than usual through recent years. Tahoe National Forest lost 32,000 acres inthe 1959 fire season in the Cold Creek, Mt. House and Marsh Mill fires. The TNF staff sold 138,500,000 board feet of timber in clearing this burned area. While handling these burned areas, the TNF staff participated in'the planting of Squaw Valley and the 1960 Olympics, on Tahoe National Forest land. Then, following six or seven "project" fires of major proportions in 1960, a midAugust weekend saw the start of two disasters---the Donner Ridge and Foresthill blazes. ; Lost inAugust, 1960: 90,000 acres; cost of suppression: $4,500,000;additional damage estimate: $4,000,000; people engaged in suppression: 6,000. Timber sold, 1960 and1961: 325,000,000 board feet; timber sales: 38; income from burned timber sales: $3,500,000. Rehabilitation: acres seeded to grass, 7,000; acres treated by ditching, 2245; acres plantedtotrees, 1602; acres cleared for future planting, 2500, fire lines cross drained, 83 miles; trees planted in 1961, 500,000.

Aha Yend at alice. aw, Let Gailtell all about it in her own words in a letter to Jean and Dick Worth: Oct, 14, 1961 ( Delayed) Bonjour, mes chers parents et mon petit frere! Back in Paris to quit our happy wanderings and begin a year 4s serious students of the lanque francaise, Before I start on Paris I have an unbelievable story to tell you. In fact,its just incredible. The day before we left Berlin, we crossed the border into East Berlin, There we were held and questioned for eight hours in the East German Police Headquarters--for spying! The night before, we found out that it is possible for Westerners to cross the border and we decided that we couldn't leave without seeing the trouble spot of the world, Bright and early the next morning we drove to the border in the American sector of the city, signed a register to return at two o'clock that afternoon, We then proceeded to drive on past the maze of barricades and were checked and approved by the East German guards. Driving into the city of East Berlin, I noticed a complete change of atmosphere=~-most of the buildings were still in ruins from the war, there were very few people around, except a great number of guards in full combat suits with helmets and machine guns, Anyway we drove to Bernauer Street, the one which made the headlines and which was included in many newspaper articles on East Berlin escapees, etc. We parked the car and walked down this street, looking at the barricades, the tenement houses, mostly evacuated by this time, from where people had jumped to the Western border, which was just in front, across the sidewalk to a cheerful, thriving industrial West Berlin. _ After having looked around for about ten, minutes, at the barricades and in the doorway of one of the tenement houses, some guards came up and asked us for our passports, which we immediately produced, all the while thinking it was a routine procedure, ; Well, they thencalled over their commanding officer, who had us drive him to the headquarters, (He, or none of the others spoke English, and our total knowledge of German was ya and nien), There we were made to sit in a cold hallway under guard with nothing to look at but the wall in front of us with a picture on it of Kruschev and Ulkright, the East German Chief of State, shaking hands. Afterthree hours of sitting there, we were finally brought in individually to a separate room for questioning. I sat in a chair in the middle of a small room (this is just like a movie) and was questioned by a man in civilian clothes(through a woman interpreter) for 45 minutes, By this time I was beginning to realize that they meant business--that they really thought WE were spies! He asked me if I was there to bring back information about what I saw to the American military, This one question was asked in about 20 different ways, and 3 or 4 times he told me I wasn't telling the truth, Moera went through approximately the same procedure and then all our belongings were searched, and the car ---including luggage. We found they didn't even know what bandaidswere, Thank God we didn*t have a cam-~ era, or we'd probably still be there! Anyway by 6 o'clock that night we were released--and they escorted us back to the border.and said auf Wiedersehen (until we meet again?-ha!) Then the American side was all in an uproar, We had totell our story four times, to two majors, the American Consul, the CIA, by telephone, At least-they gave us food, as we hadn't eaten all day, After that we left Berlin the same night, and arrived in Paris two days later, eees8ss wat ce og le . 4 Lewes Feeve eve & ' a Gail W orth attending Sorbonne University in Paris.

The Past In Pictures Sports All By Jack Miner A few baseball players from North San Juan; the guy in the back row is supposed to be John Hogan, who owned and operated the Express stages between North San Juan and Humbug City, North Bloomfield, to you, John Hogan's love was baseball and perhaps he was the team's manager, No, its not the fellow with the straw hat tipped back on his head so cockily; John is the one with the droopy mustache and big chin, the guy between the straw hats, One of Hogan's boys went on to great fame as a player. He made some eastern team and played major baseball when the leagues were first organized. Five years ago, Judge Reader of North San Juan, then past eighty and himself a ball player in his young days, and a lifelong fan, told me that Hogan's son wasstill alive somewhere down the valley Santa Clara if 1 remember, Right, Judge?
