. ; sini _ 2 The Nevada County Nugget Wed., Jan. 30,1974 Montessori ‘Tt happ med last “Festival USA” is one of the three main Bicentennial themes for 1976; in concert with the other two themes, ‘Heritage 76” and “Horizons ’76”, it will seek to involve us all nationwide in a meaningful program encompassing, if you will, the arts, travel and hospitality. According to advice from the headquarters, in Washington D.C., for the American Revolution Bicentennial, it is becoming clear that more visitors are coming to our land than can be equitably handled two years from now. Headquarters staff are beginning to ask questions such as “Where will we bed them all down?” Where will we park their vehicles?” Law enforcement heads are pondering the anticipated increase in accident statistics among our visitors from other countries, with most Americans cCartravel oriented, traffic will be heavier and the number _ of accidents will increase accordingly. Most city blood banks run out of blood in any normal year.'. . .so what will happen in & 1976 if reserve supplies are not immediately projected. Thére are those who say that the energy crisis is the best thing that has happened in the Bicentennial “picture” to date. . . ts impact at that time is obviously difficult to estimate. According to the Bicentennial Newsletter of recent date. . .by the time we have some fairly reasonable figures on numbers of visitors to expect, it will be much too late to make the plans and provisions absoutely necessary. If logical planning is not immediately started, the energy crisis of 1973-74 could easily lead to a visitor crisis by 1976 if we don’t get with it — now! Community action should be our immediate reaction. A writer-person named Rita Ciolli has recently . published PP TUATLA CAATINGTW NEICQRS . NEVADA COUNTY NUGGET 301 Broad Street Nevada City, Ca. 95959 Telephone 265-2559 PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY BY NEVADA COUNTY PUBLISHING CO. Second class postage paid at Nevada City, California.

Among those most prominently mentioned, in her work, as having accounted for more than two-third of the world’s creative output in medicine, science, government and the arts, areGeorge Abbott, 86; who recently directed the current revival of “The Pajama Game”. . .his 116th Broadway production. Following opening night, a short time ago, Abbott flew back to his island in Florida to rewrite some of his earlier plays, which he hopes to produce soon. a George Bernard Shaw won a Nobel prize when he was almost 70; Golda Meir, the 75-year-old . prime minister of Israel, is the woman most admired in the United States according to the latest Gallup Poll. ‘‘It’s no sin to be 75,” says Golda. William O. Douglas, who has served 34 years in the nation’s highest court, has no known plans to retire; according to Ms. Ciolli’s best information about the 75year-old jurist. Ida. Kaminska, ande dame of the Yiddish theatre, has told interviewers that she never intends to retire. She recently celebrated her 75th birthday anniversary. And the name Bernard Baruch is internationally associated. with the post of U. S. representative to the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission of the United Nations. He formulated the Baruch proposals for international control of atomic energy at the age of 76! The energies and enthusiasm of these, and many other “Senior Citizens’ of this and. other countries should not be discounted. . . their wisdom and ability are not to be denied; except, perhaps, by those youths of shallow minds who hold to the belief that anyone over the age of 40 is ready for the trash pile.
