According to the AEC, this level (37.5 microcuries per liter) requires "active surveillance and routine control." This new incidence of radioactivity in milk is, of course, mainly the result of the recent Russian atmospheric nuclear weapons tests, whichtotalled about 100 megatons. Inthe light of these reports, we cannot be too happy about President Kennedy's apparent Tack of concern about this problem as evidencedathis latest press conference, inwhichhe merely indicated that government will take appropriate action. Weare not at all sure the government is prepared to take appropriate action, or that the government is apprised of what appropriate action might be, or that milk producers will be able or willing to act in time to hold down the strontium-90 level in milk, before it becomes lodged in the bones of our children. The government, working closely with the milk producers, owes usa full and immediate accounting of what actions can and must and will be taken to meet the apparently imminent threat of polluted milk. Investment In Understanding Ifwe can ever expect to see a peaceful world envolve from under the dark threats of nuclear clouds, it will likely come after the people ofthis world reach a plateau of mutualrespect and understanding for each other that at this point seems distant. An honest appraisal of the feeling of people living in countries around the world would find that the United States is dislikedby many. We speak of those nations of the Western bloc and those which are uncommitted inthe current world struggle--nations where freedom of access and freedom to exchange ideas has given us the opportunity to show ourselves off to our best advantage. In the past, our representatives in other lands frequently did little to build respect or understanding for the U.S. They rarely spoke the language of the country in which they served. Our movies and tourists each has had great potential in spreading good will rather than bad feelings. But, unfortunately, the vast majority of our film export has not given a true picture of the United States or of our people. Likewise, for every tourist that made a dozen friends in a foreign land there were a dozen tourists who multiplied our ills. The Peace Corps is a hopeful sign for the future. And the exchange of foreign students is likewise an expanding means for real understanding. Nevada County is sending a local 4-H girlto Argentina this Fall. It is an opportunity for Felicia Schaps. It is also an Opportunity for Nevada County residents. The 4-HCouncil must raise about $1200 to finance the trip to Argentina.

You stopped to water the horses at Snow Tent and Mame McCain had supper ready for you at Bill's Golden West Hotel when we tied up for the night at Graniteville, And the next day you smelled raspberry jam cooking and marched in the 4th of July parade.

I know Mary Todd wants to see the play My A merican Cousin at Fords theatre in April, Don't think you will enjoy it. Better you and Mrs, Lincoln entertain those new fine Nevada City gentlemen Senator William Morris Stewart and Niles Searles at the White House that night, You will never regret this suggested change in plans, Mike Hyman, respected citizen and talented musician, who played the piano in Nevada City's better homes and houses, with me at the Plaza and got drenched by the firemen's water fights on the 4th of July, And you were with me when we found Grover's wife murdered on Pine St, last Summer, We danced all night at Uncle Tom Coan's cabinto the music of the SS President Monroe orchestra and hid our bottle of jackass brandy under the dance hall, You have -communicated with me on an average of three times a week, William Randolph Hearst, Jr. (SF Examiner) was kind enough to drop a note to me twice from his 5th Ave NY penthouse and to send his personal family history for use in this column all because I wrote ofhis grandpop Senator George Hearst starting the family fortune in NC,.Attorney Albert Johnson was preparedto use in court for right-of-way proof this column writing about the abandoned Jewish and Chinese cemetaries. 606 And there's Mrs. Dorian of 1966 Douglas Road, Stockton, who could convince none of her Democrat friends that she was born ina towncalled Humbug (North Bloomfield) that is until proof arrived in this column that indeed there was such a town! Mrs. Dorian down the toad to yesterday I dreamily remember the day you were bornYour sisters Kate Zadow and Marie Thurston were playing in the back yard where the US Forest Service now is in Humbug, Ican hear the gentle voice of your mother, Emma, say to your father Philip, “It's time to go for Dr, Rogers",.and your father ran up the hill and in a short time was back with Dr, Rogers in his buggy. Doc was just as exited as your father, He had just married one of the Trood sisters, (Was it Helen?) Katie and Marie. stopped playing and were on the front porch with your father, In about 15 minutes Doc, Rogers came out, “It's another girl!" And your father said, "We'll name her Beatrice Derrig!" And there are other nice Nugget readers like Charles and Margarette of 518 Walsh St., GV, who, upon reading that my grey-white hair was no more, immediately supplied me with a year's supply of her own now on the market Victorian House 1865 Essence of Pine Shampoo Cream by Victorian House Enterprises GV noting "This Shampoo is safe for all hair including dyed or bleached," Buy it, Try It. Everybody who comes to our house gets a free shampoo, The verdict is unanimous wonderful, Start writing a column, You meet wonderful people and gets your locks washed. But there are some things I will not do, I will not be a procurer for female poodle dogs, I wrote that one of our summer visitorswasa jeweled, collared, marcelled, pedicured, appricot poodlename of Mademoiselle Coco, Lorris, Bob& Timmy Hocking's Tess Gift Shop French poodle Romeo read the item and wanted a date come Coco's amorous month of May time, Really now. The indignity of it all, Lorris, make your own dates, Write Madam Coco, Care Betty French, 36 Windsor Ave, San Rafael, And since it's the first birthday of this column join me in wishing Happy Birthday to this most distinguished list of February babies and brides and grooms: Feb, 1 Mary Jones Wallis 2 Eddie & Twila Furano (Wedding) 3 Mrs, V, Strang 4 Joe Day, Sr, 5 Lou Kopp 6 Elma Ponton 7 Phyllis Danos 8 Norman and Shirley Kopp (Wedding) 9 Dorothy Waggoner 10 Curtis Clark 12 Abraham Lincoln SIERRA BYWAYS i ae oa RE BY DEAN THOMPSON SANCHO, .Those who watched the Walt Disney TV showing of “Wonderful W orld of Color” the past two weeks will be interested to know that snow scenes in the Sancho story were nearly filmed in Graniteville,,,Nearly, I say, because the snow melted while the production crew set up cameras, etc.We were reminded of this detail a couple weeks ago by Malcolm Hammill, county fair: manager. Hammill was Sancho's landlord while the Texas longhorn was a guest in our area prior to the. shooting schedule at Graniteville. And Hammill's barn was one of the few places in the county where Sancho could squeeze his big horns through the doorway.The cast of children had been chosen after auditions through the cooperation of the Nevada City Chamber of Commerce, Allwas in readiness for the Graniteville shooting almost a year ago, But warm weather played a trick on the production crew and they moved elsewhere. .Only script change in the sequence that was to have been shot here was that Sancho was to have had his horns tangled in manzanita on location at Graniteville, rather than common brush, A YOUTH SPEAKS,.The following was given us by a local reader who suggests it speaks highly for American young folks and their thinking capabilities. .This being the time of year for spotlighting Brotherhood, it is timely -.eThe article was first printed in the Santa Fe New Mexican, Aug, 23. It follows: Today, August 15, I read an article in the Santa Fe New Mexican concerning the facilities available to Santa Fe citizens in the event of a nuclear attack, Three or four days agol saw avery brief film at the El Paseo Theatre in which a typical businessman, in cartoon form, was pictured happily building a bomb shelter (to be used alternately as a dark room.) It seems his hobbies were photography and contemplation of impending doom, The Civil Defense Organization, by this article, this filmstrip and many other means is telling us that entrenchment behind a modified, modernized Maginot Line is what we good Americans should do'to prepare for. . . theinevitable? Would the Russians really use the bomb on us? Well, in the name of humanity WE dropped two atom bombs ontwoJapanese cities, and there are people dying from it today. We are like the knights we read about in THE ONCE AND FUTURE KING, the two covered with ingeniously fashioned armor, charging toward each other with even more ingenious weapons and both carrying the scarf of peace andhumanity, If trying to defend ourselves from World War II, in the ways mentioned above is a futile as it seems to be, and Linus Pauling supported this when he said in "Toward a Sane Nuclear Policy," that 97 per cent of all Americans would be dead three days after the opening of a C,B,R. war (chemical, biological, radiological war), if a defense is near impossible, war must somehow be averted, But how fast are the two knights galloping; how short the distance between them? This only time will tell, Maybe it's too late and maybe it isn't. How many people laugh when they read Christ's words about love and brotherhood? How many people forget that H.G. Wells said man's egodentric emotions will be his doom and his intelligence his only chance for survival once he becomes as powerful as he is now in 1961, When you getright down to it, almost everyone is laughing in Christ's face this very minute, “Brotherhood, ha, ha. Keep away from me you Kike, Nigger, Gringo, Spick, Kraut, etc," : If you want to know what can be done if we have time, there is an answer: the greatest power in the world is love. “Love thy neighbor as thyself." You don't have to be the least bit religious to see that happiness and peace are more a product of this than hate and prejudice, But in addition to loving your neighbor, you must also know why he is, why you are you, what makes him believe in something different, why his beliefs are just as good as yours and why they should command equal respect, When you can answer these questions and learn to control your negative passions, the spark of war will be gone from you as an individual, and you may have a great effect on your friends, Now I will give you some more definite ideas on what you might do if you are seriously concerned about the direction man seems to be traveling in, I suggest that money you might spend on building your own bomb shelter or helping to build a municipal bomb shelter would be better spent if it were given to a student exchange fund. Those lost hours when you don't know what to do or feel that you have accomplished nothing can bereplaced with discussion groups that can start off with study of political theory and economics and end up with actual political activity. We should see to it that our high school students are taught political and economic theory, especially Capitalist and communist theory, and these students should be shown the results of both systems, Our government gives usthe opportunity, and if we don't take advantage of it soon, we may have it no longer, The time for action is now, And the action must start with the individual or it doesn't start at all. If you believe in JudoChristian morals, proveit. If you want brotherhood, it's yours for the understanding of others, If you think the worldis slightly better for your being here, slightly happier, reconsider, look around, try to understand, and then act to make it better. YOU CAN, Richard Register (Age 18) LETTER. SubscriberB, A.
