Appropriate to our nuclear era, a group of high school students across the country has been given a chance to learn a great deal more about the atom and its potentials, in a National Youth Conference in Chicago. Sponsored by 62 investor-owned electric utilities, including California’s Pacific Gas and Electric Company and Southern California Edison, the conference was designed to give these outstanding young science students and their teachers an authoritative review of atomic power, and to‘promote and advance interest in the study of science and engineering. The power which man has discovered and appropriated for himself is enormous and portentious. On how he handles it rests the future of the world. The Chica: sure, conference won't settle the planet’s fate, to be ut it is heartening evidence that the private sector of the nation’s economy is deeply concerned with the development of a leadership that can mean for this country and for the world the difference between tremendous benefit and catastrophe, : Veterans G.I.

Cullen, District Director of Internal Revenue for Northern California, said farmers who earned at least two-thirds of their 1966 gross income from farming but whd did not file an estimate by January 16 must file their final Federal income tax return and Pay any tax due by Wednesday February 15, 1967. “Farmers Tax Guide,” which furnishes more detailed information on this subject, may be obtained by writing your District Director, Internal Revenue Service, : Dear Editor: ' I am reminded of how we used to get back and forth from Grass Valley or wherever we wanted to go. Well us kids all had a horse toride and if I say it with a lot of pride, we had the ‘best horse flesh in the country. We alsohad some of the best bron— ho busters in the wide world. ey broke mules for the Army and let me tell you they were tough to break, but we had the boys here who could ride anything that you could put a saddle on, I am going to give you a few names. One of the best was Allen Hill, better known as "Saddler", There was his brother Bob, then there was Pike Solari and there were the Loughlin Brothers, plus quite a few others, Then came the Street Cars, It didnt hurt us any, they did well. until the Automobiles came to town. Oh yes, talking about street cars in our town that ran between Grass Valley and Nevada City. They did a pees business and only charged 20¢ one way, which came to about 5¢ per mile, Just think how' much parking space you would have between GV and NC if those street cars were still in business, But the Automobiles took care of that, people did not support the street cars so they ‘ went out of business, You wonder what I am getting at, well here it is in a nutshell, people didn't support the street cars, now they have gone their way. ; People didn‘t support the Narnow Gauge railroad, that is also dead and gone. You wonder what is going next, well you lost your water rights, you do not have water so you pay more thanitis worth, What are you going to lose next? I. don't know yet, I would like to see the old sign back on the Nevada Theatre, and I hope tosee it there before summer tolls around, I am rambling around a bit tonight as I write you, sol will get back. to those street cars, When leaving Hills Flat we used tostandin front of the Hair and Hound Saloon and watch the car crawl to the top of the hill. I think that I had poor old Bill Squise almost nuts trying to keep me off his street car, but always when we arrived in Nevada City, I was always there, The car would stop at. the Plaza: They were afraid to cross the Broad Street Bridge. You could not blame them too much as the old bridges on Commercial Street went down after the Union Hotel bus had just gotten to the other side, Going up Sacramento Street, it could hardly make it and I know that Bill Squise would never stop the car to put me off, You ask me what is next, well the best thing to do is to figure it out, It is so easy; what you need is a good live wire, I think you have one now at the Nugget. Just hang on folks. Hasta la Vista! _ Jack Bassett__ Grass Valley School Bond YES VOTE Needed There is real touble ahead if the Grass Valley Elementary School bond issue of $1, 300,000 does nct receive the favorable vote on January 31, We say this because our school problems are mounting. At this time there are double sessions required to properly ge t the children through the intermediate grades. The best education we can possibly fase our children is paramount responsibility: Lets face it and do our best to prepare them for the life that we as parents have given them. It is quite easy to attempt to brush. the problem away by saying we can not afford the added taxes. The better our schools, ‘the : better our community and even though education is costly, ignor-: ance is far, far more expensive, The investment in our youth will pay dividends far exceeding anything else we can do with our money. It will be a sacrifice and some may say that they are excused because they have no children going to school, but friends, they are all our children, They are our community's children and it will be a cheap price to pay to have them properly trained and taught skills that will enable them to become good citizens, We have the highest respect for our teachers here, who admittedly are receiving pay in the lowest bracket, Theirs is a dedicated work and they need our help, To provide them with the tools and the class rooms they must have to do a good job is up to all of us. Some may not like the plans for the construction planned with the proceeds from the bond money, but we must realize that they were prepared after careful study and by experts who know what they need, The present project when completed, will provide facilities to care for the immediate situation, As our community grows, more people will come to live among us. They will pay taxes, They will buy land, They will build houses and property values will increase, There is real trouble ahead if we do not keep pace with the progress and needs of our school system. It is a rare privilege to own property, to use it as we feel the need, This is the American Way, but with this privilege goes those great responsibilities of self government and support of our School system. If we do _ not act now, the future will be dark indeed and one never Knows what means will become necessary to ‘guarantee our children their birth right. THEY ARE OUR CHILDREN! she i
