Nugget Editorial Is Quoted Nevada City, the Nugget and its editorials continue to be cited around the state and the nation. The latest example appears in the July 23 editon of Business Week, the national business weekly. In a full page article on the phone company's switch } to "All Number Calling.” the Nugget 'srecent editorial welcoming this system to Nevada County is quoted, along ; with an editorial-from the San Francisco Chronicle. ‘In its editorial, entitled, "Goodbye, Central,” the ; Nugget had taken the Chronicle to task for its petty insistence that telephone prefixes provide "local color” for the city. The Nugget welcomed All Number Calling as a progressive and practical move, in keeping . with Nevada County's position as one of the pioneers in telephone development. According to the Business Week article, "There has been little reaction as strong as that of either San Francisco, acity in love with its traditions, or of Nevada City, Calif. , which wants to show that it is all for progress." (Editor'snote; wethink Business Week should also know that besides being “all for . progress, " Nevada City cares . as much about its traditions to be used in the exhibit. as San Francisco. ) Travel Nuggets Roseville, July 27-31—Placer County Fair.

Among expected developments are a 175 acre tract belonging to John Looser of Grass Valley, and a 275 acre parcel belong to Cahrles Litton of the Litton electronic laboratories, The proposed new line would be built by the interested parties, Koster said, and not by theN.1.D. Therefore he urged all potential subdividers in the area to attend the meeting, as they may not be able to “hook on" to the line after it is completed. It is expected the major contributors to the construction of the line will be Litton, and Looser, as well as the high school district.

The informal open meeting washeld in the back yard of the Edwin Koster home on Dolores St. : Among subjects touched upon by Johnson were the following: National Defense: Johnson pointed out that the annual defense budget now runs about $40 dillion dollars, about half the total budget. He said most congressmen have to go along with appropriations committee recommendations in this field, because of secret testimony not generally available. But he said there was no other choice, as "we must maintain a strong national defense effort. " Mutual aid: The $5 billion dollar appropriation for foreign aid, according to Johnson, "seems necessary to maintain our position in the world,” Congressional district reapportionment: Northern California will gain 2 new congressional seats as a result of the recently completed census. However, Johnson opposes dividing his district into 2 parts. The second district now ranges over 19 countieswitha total population of some 400,000 people. State senate reapportionment: BizzJohnson reiterated his strong opposition to thisg proposal, which would give southern California effective control of the state legislature. Progressive legislation: The voting combination of the Southern Democrats, comepublicans , qd : 0 veto, Made progressive egislation “difficult, "Johnson said. In the coming session he éxpects legislation to be passed in the fields of housing, minimum wage, and medical aid to the aged, with vetoes likely on the bills passed. He said in order to achieve progressive legislation, thé country needs a Democrat in the White House. $40 Price For Peaches An offering price of $46 per ton roadside for processing Elberta peaches was voted by the board of directors of California Freestone Peach Association meeting in Modesto last week. The 1959 price settled at $45. “The board has considered carefully all of the major economic factors .involved in arriving at this price,” says Charles Telford, association manager. “Our carryover amounts to 1.616,996 cases, primarily on grades other. than fancy. Quality freestones have moved readily, but the volume remaining on less than first quality fruit must be considered.” Processing tonnage was estimated by district covncilmen earlier in the year at 130,000 tons. Coitpled with the tonnages available on clings and apricotes, a record supply of canned fruit is indicated Members of the board reported that the shipping market has been good and indications are that it will continue strong.
