Paul R. Leake, Chairman and Third District Member of the Board, stated that this sum was $20,929, 229 or 8 percent higher than that forthe prior fiscal year. . The combined cities and county total for Nevada County was $343,716. Of this the county recéived $204,455; Grass Valley, $96,218 and Nevada City $43, 043. : Slightly more than half of the increase may be attributable to population growth and inflation; the rest resulted from the general improvement in business, The one percent levy produced $222,907, 979 for California's cities, $41,088,150 for her counties, and$18, 154,020 forthe City and County of San Francisco, Cities received 79.0 percent of this revenue; counties other than San Francisco got 14.6 percent; and 6, 4 percent went to San Francisco. Leake noted that the 25 northernmost c ounties comprising the Third Equalization District, which extends from Marin east to El Dorado and north to the Oregon border, received $18,397, 106, up $1,856,327 or 11.2 percent from the amount for the prior fiscal year. Merriam Victory Club Formed For Candidate ‘Chet Merriam, candidate for congress fromthe second district, today announced the formation of the “Merriam Victory Club”. The Victory Club is composed of voters, both Democrat and Republican who are contributing one dollar each month for the next four months to Merriam's campaign. Merriam, when commenting on the formation of the Victory Clubs said, "Let me remind you that this is a campaign of, by, and forthe people in this district. There are no large corporations, whose support we are tied to nor are we receiving the invaluable aid or monies of the vast labor unions w ithin this district. Our campaign is based upon the individuals rights, freedoms and integrity. It is therefore natural to seek, -directly, the help and aid of individuals for our campaign.” Could Be An Asset the road. However, in other places such as right outside Nevada City on highway 49 where a park is proposed, there is so little protective cover that the Commission required thedeveloper. set back 200 feet from the center line of the road. Because there has been such an increase in the use of trailer coaches as homes in California, the State Assembly last year, w ith the Senate concurring, passed a resolution ordering the establishment of a committee to study state and local taxation of trailer coaches and parks and to make a report by 1965. Nevada County cannot wait until 1965, for after all the statistics and facts have been recorded there is another factor involved which isnot usually considered in terms of dollars andcents. Nevada County is renowned as a scenic area, an historic area and this is what brings people off the main road, No one would travel to Grass Valley or Nevada City just to buy clothes, cars or groceries. They will buy these things once they are in the area but unless local business men, government~ al personnel and residents act to protect the county's greatest asset, Nevada County's calling card will be lost. There is a need for restrictions forbidding all parking of trailers on private land in order to insure protection to surrounding landowners and encourage construc ~ tion of more mobile home parks. There should also be a more equitable licensing procedure so taxes are more evening distributed to the counties and a generalre-evaluation of taxing trailers to better com pensate communities for the services they providetrailer dwellers. Finally, there should be closer cooperation between local agencies to eliminate confusion about the laws. These. things must be accomplished soon for trailers continue torollintothe county and it looks like they ‘are here to stay.

Korean Veterans Deadline Korean Conflict veterans who, after continuous military service, have been discharged to civilian life within the last three years have one semester left for educa~ tion and training under the Korean GI Bill, it, was noted by Glenn Corbitt, manager of VA's northern California Regional Office. Congress has established January 31, 1965, as the termination date for the readjustment program of education and training for Korean Conflict veterans Corbitt explained. This deadline applies both to those Korean Conflict veterans already embarked on their courses of study and to those who are about to start classes now for summer school work or in September for the Fall Semester. The veterans may, of course. continue in school after that date but they’ will no longer receive an allowance from the VA each month to meet part of their training and living expenses. Corbitt pointed out. that those Contrary to popular belief, the bagpipe did not originate in Scotland but is believed to have been known at the time of the early Egyptian dynasties. veterans whohave failed to begin their Korean GI Bill education or training within three years after their discharge or separation from the service have already exhausted their eligibility.
