My number oné husband had finally decided that I could ‘have some fruit trees. He thought the dwarf kind would be easier for me to care for. So I selected dwarf cherry, plum, apple and nectarine. We already have standard peach, pear, plum and fig. Thank goodness for these, It takes several years for new babies to start to bear. He would probably have said $25. would buy a lot of fruit. Actually in these trying times it wouldn’t buy too much. The trick now will be to find a spot that doesn’t have too much water and where my darling wretched cows can’t get to them. They have a positive yen for new green trees. Mrs. Sorenson advises me that in the unusual weather we have here we won’t always have crops. She also gave me my first lesson about the nasty bugs. If is spite of all this you are still determined to start _-fruit trees you better order quickly. Stocks are not too this year due to last winter’s freak destructive weather. Young John Trauner works at the nursery and he says even their own selection of plants is down a bit. During the recent storm they were without electricity in the quite a bit and it damaged a lot of delicate plants. Mrs. Florence Jennings dropped in. while we were discussing the weather. She came to pick up tree seal. She says this warm weather is going to bring the sap up before we get our winter pruning done. If you are a gardner also be warned about fertilizer. It’s a premium item this year. Seems they pay more for it in other countries. People who worship the Golden Calf aren’t going to hesitate long enough to think about the poor farmer. —R&R—. I hope you were interested enough in the last item of my news last week to notice that it wasn’t finished. I just usually write too much. The Editor leaves just so much space for me so they couldn’t get it all in. I was discussing fuelits relative cost and pollutants. According to Science News wood is a better choice than oil. It does give off more ‘‘particulates’’. I checked that with Webster (Wm. Morris) who says particulate means to separate into particles. Wood smoke is kind of dirty. I love the smell of it tho’. Even if my poor sinuses don’t. Wood gives off ‘less of every other kind of pollution than oil’’. Oil gives off 284 points of sulfur oxides. These are the pollutants most dangerous to. health. Wood has “negligible sulfur oxides”’. Oil has five points-of carbon monoxide and wood had two points. This is dangerous only in an airtight space. One ton (approximately one cord) of wood gives about the same amount of heat, 140,000 BTU, as a thousand gallons of fuel oil. So join me in front of the fireplace next winter. On second thought stoves are more economical users of wood. With wood at $50. a cord maybe we better make that around the stove. —R&R— Science News also notes that the new. headqu of the Massachusetts Audubon Society will be heated and cooled by solar energy. It will have the capacity to store energy to last through three cloudy days. Although solar heating of smaller buildings has been tried for several years, the society believes this will be the first office building to use the technique to provide most of its heating and cooling. The building will only use solar energy to provide 60 to 85 per cent of-required heat. This kind of heat should be clean and pure. Plentiful too when they learn to store it properly. —R&R— . Rough and Reidy News Dunbar everywhere from 4 to 14 per cent) and in A I buy has doubled (at least) the gap becomes incredibly apparent. The gap that exists between my income, which actually has only gone up a few per cent, and the cost of the things necessary to buy to live, gives that “credibility gap” real meaning. —R&R— Mrs. Charlotte Halstead, Chairman of the Nevada County Democratic Central Committee, Cora McMahon and I attended a party luncheon in Marysville last Saturday. Charlotte was kind enough to let me do some shopping afterward. Naturally. it became so late we had to stay out for dinner also. Great fun for me. Charlotte learned about barns and haylofts and such. She agrees my loft ladder is a duzie. It really isn’t a ladder, it’s just some rungs nailed to the wall. You hang on with everything including your teeth. The cows never even miss one chew when I miss a rung. —R&R— Hjalmer Berg sponsored a tea last Sunday afternoon at the Historical Society Cultural Museum. It’s surprising what interesting things people find to talk about when they relax for a moment in a friendly atmosphere. Hjalmer and Roman Rozinsky, society president, have lots of fine plans for the museum for the ensuing year. You would enjoy a visit there if you have not seen it recently. There is a lot of Nevada county ~ history in that one small area. —R&R— Last Monday the Newcomers Lyric Ensemble held an extra practice session at the home of Helen Beatie in Rough and Ready. They have a program date coming up very soon in Marysville. After the work session they were invited for lunch. Mrs. Beatie is director of the group. The ensemble took advantage of the occasion to present tokens of their thanks to their directors and accompanists. The thank yous read “Thanks for helping us to make sweet music together’. Associate director is Mrs. Delta Carr of Grass Valley. Mrs. Meda Snow of Cedar Ridge is accompanist. While Mrs. Snow is recuperating from recent surgery Mrs. Eleanor Richards, also of Grass Valley, is serving as associate accompanist. It’s lots of hard work and without a real enjoyment of good music such a group would not have such splendid leaders. Ensemble voices from the Rough and Ready area are the Mmes. Fay Dunbar, Alice Licht, Beulah Shearer, Olyve Simmons, Elaine Vogt and Josephine Webb. The group was organized in 1958 as a member group of the Nevada County Newcomers Club. Mrs. Meda Snow. was accompanist for a Christmas program given by the Newcomers in 1957. They were organized by Mrs. Edith McClain in the early spring of 1958 and several of the present members have been with the group since its inception. They sing for the pure pleasure of it and to provide good music to community organizations who request it. Included in their repertoire is music from Mendelsohn to Music Man. My husband’s mother and father Luisa and James Dunbar and two of his sisters sang in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. It was mostly through his encouragement that I have enjoyed this group so thoroughly. The love of group singing is a great joy. —R&R— It seems to me that one of the reasons for President Nixon’s downfall was his feeling that he was smarter and better than the rest of us, J way. * RE WAR ERB ©, CHG Wg eH
