Since our arrival here, one fact has become quite evident to us.
’ The people of this area
will go toward building a great community. Take the Recreation
Commission for example.~ Your writer is now a member of that
Commission and the first meeting that he will attend will be held
in Truckee this Tuesday evening. The Commission has a policy
of meeting aie alternate locations and Truckee is the next site,
_weather permitting, « :
We look forward to this meeting for we do have some ideas about
the importafice of improving our recreation facilities, With the
coming tourist season there will be thousands of folks come into our
area looking for places to stay and to play, It will be their-vacation
time and here in Nevada County is one of the most iriteresting spots,
The job of the Recreation Commission is to provide certain plans
for. the welfare and entertainment of our visitors as well as take
care of our local folks who like to get out into the wide open spaces
for fun and recreation, : ;
The Commission has a big job to, do and we are entering into the
program with a feeling that we would like to know more about the
problem. Some of you readers no doubt have some good ideas
about -it so why not write us a letter and give us your thoughts on
the matter. Your letters will be published if you say so, and your
suggestions. will receive our best attention.. '

Percy, thats our cat, believes in recreation, His idea of fun is
to get out in the open and of all things chase birds. If the birds
outwit him he concentrates on the Gopher diggings. Now Percy is
an expert on catching gophers. He has a long record of achievement in catching them, having brought in more than 100 each
season, Just as soon as the weather warms up a bit, we have no
doubt but thathe will get busy on this recreation project. Too bad
that gopher hides are not marketable, for Mr. P. could get rich,

of wonders reduced. him to a state of hysterical astonishment.
The. train rounded a slight bend and, with a shriek of its whistle,
plunged into a tunnel, i ‘ .
Suddenly the trainrushed into broad daylight again, and his voice
was liftéd in wonder.

DIRKSON SAYS ADVERTISING
VITAL TO BUSINESS .
The current trend in government circles ‘to seek
strangling controls over advertising as being “econom_ ically wasteful and anti-social” has aroused a powerful
protest from Senator Everett Dirksen. Tired o hearing
the industry denigrated in the Senate anti-trust and
monopoly subcommittee, the Illinois veteran declared
recently that moves to control it raise serious questions about freedom of speech and of the press as guaranteed by the first amendment.
“Freedom in the market place,” said Mr. Dirksen,
“means the right of the people to be informed of what
is being offered for sale and the right of the seller to
inform the people of what he has to sell. It may be an
idea, a product, service — many things. But the advertisement is as much a part of the daily news as any
other event that is being reported.
Including, as the Senator no doubt would agree, the
political statements of advertising’s most vocal enemies.

right down to thee and me, so I guess we'll all suck in a second
breath and relinquish a few of life's little necessities such as Queen
Bee Facial Creme, double martinis, and-chocolate parfaits. And
just in case you're feeling a bit chafed at this proposed increase,
just consider, in passing, that this is the type request one finds
some difficulty in evading. Especially when it's seconded by an
