10 The. Nevada County Nugget, Wednesday, January 21, 1970
Beady
By Fay M. Dunbar . 273-2934
The Rough and Ready Fire
Dept. started 1970 off well by
adding a Civil Disaster Office
Fire truck to the tiny embryo
of a Fire Truck the Department
already had. Besides its 500
gallon water tank, the new truck
has : 500 anda 250 gallon per
minute water pump, flood lights,
its own generator and fire fighting equipment such as our Firemen have been dreaming of
but our own truck doesn't have.
and our District couldn't afford.
It also has 1000 feet of 2 1/2
inch hose, 800 feet of 1 1/2
inch hose and 200 feet of 1
inch booster line all of which
was desperately needed. And
anned to this there are adequate nozzles of which the other truck only has a smattering.
All of this for $1.00 and lots
of taking advantage of opportunities which occasionally
knock. Having two trucks will
make it possible to fight fires
from both sides and to have a
tank ready to take over while
the first one refills, IK will
also be of great help in our
Mutual Aid Agreement with
neighboring Fire Departments.
The new fire truck is parked
in Bursills big barn. The men
have decided to hold off public
acceptance until the Dedication
of the new Fire house which
they hope will be in March,
They are planning a real bang
up party, pictures and everything, for the affair, If there
should be a Major Fire Disaster anywhere in California
within the next five years the
Truck and two men could be
called upon. Our active Firemen, 15 of them, are thrilled
with the new beauty and the rest
of us can feel’a lot safer.

I'm sure you all saw that
‘dreadful picture of our Post
7

fir
/Yating and she
, Office .in the Union last week.
‘No: reflection on the Union or
“their photographer. Sure makes
Rough and Ready look like two
cents. And I'll be there isn't
another Post Office anywhere
with a tinted leaded glass window
and an old door (even if it did
let the water in under it) that
came around the Horn in an old
Sailing Ship. .
Hope it doesn't cost our Postmaster her Operation Cookie
mailing. She has worked sohard
to get us all to bake cookies
and: contribute po: The extra postage helps/the Post Office
never let
/ anything happen to those cookies,
/ If you aren't familiar with Rough glecting . development. and reand Ready its builtinaravine,No finement of the mind, and not
way out of it and I don't think
anyone really wants out. Its very
picturesque and after all Rough
and Ready's only claim to fame
now is its picturesqueness and
its name. This has happened
before to our Post Office because of surrounding hills and
could concievably happen again,
It's most unusual however. and
the new owners will probably
be more careful about their
ditches in the future. Our Postmaster and her Clerks didn't
get wet. There is an Apartment over them. The ladies
have new heat this winter and
according to our Postmaster
they. are warm and toasty for
a change. The Cookies and the
Mail Bags were in no real danger. They are handled and kept
in the other,aisle of the Post .
Office. It was only the cutomer
who got his feet wet.
Maybe we will get a new Post
Office someday. It is in the works
and is to be built in keeping with
the surroundings which will help
our little town.
The Mobile Homes Park
seems to have finally solved
their sewage problem with the
open lakes arrangement, And
they have brought water from the
NID ditch at the top of the hill
about a quarter of a mile
away and across the. Highway.
Passersby don't usually think of
things. like that but it would be
terribly expensive. The Market
Center is in a little valley just
like our home and Rough and
Ready doesn't have piped water
or sewers yet. That too, someday. But then the Dunbar's will
have to move further back into
the mountains. We have learned
about cities.

I hepe you don't get bored
with my serious thoughts. The
New Year always gets me in
this mood and I've given it to
you several times. This is such
a good one and it helps me understand a little. These Six Mistakes of Man were given us some
2100 years ago by Cicero, the
Roman Philosopher and Oh Boy
how they fit today! Number one
on Cicero's list was. "The delusion that individual advancement is made by crushing others." Number two fits me toa
tee. "The tendency to worry
about things that cannot be
changed or corrected." I know
this fault in me but am most
unsuccessful at changing it.
Number three doesn't give me
too much trouble. Its "Insisting
that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it."
I guess I don't try too many
things. But this particularly applies to a lot of world problems .
today. That. Cicero! "Refusing
to set aside trivial preferences,"
This is number four and for me
its like number two. One of my
big problems, I blame these
“preferences” on bad habits
mostly and try to remember
that other people don't-necessarily have these habits. Number
five is a problem nearly everyone has today, I guess, "Neacquiring the habit of reading
and. study." Blame it. on the
Bube (poetic license, my dictionaryspells it boob) Tube, You
don't even have to hold a book
and it doesn't allow time for
real thinking. The sixth and
last "Mistake" surely applies
to the worlds problems today
as well as just to me. My poor
Husband! For 43 years now,
without meaning to of course,
I've been "Attempting to compel other persons to believe and
live as we do."
Cicero Marcus Tullius was
born January 3, 106 B.C. He
studied oratory, philosophy, and
law in that order and pleaded his
first case when he was 26 years
old, He went from the very bottom to the very top in position
and prestige in Public Office.
Due primarily to his vacillating
decisions he was slain by his
friends on December 7, 43 B.C.
This type of thing is more common today I expect but its not
usually so physical. Soul slaying
you would probably call it.
