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. )

According to Koster, the
present Ridge Road line will
be inadequate to serve the
new high school and the property subdivisions expected
to be built in the area.
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

i: July 27, 1960
Congressman Harold T.
“Bizz” Johnson of the 2nd __
district reviewed the recent:
session of the 86th congress,
before a group of 35 citizens
in GrassValley Saturday
night, He also commented on
state and local matters, and
discussed prospects for the
upcoming August congres~sional session.
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. Over-all
quality in all districts is
superior to the 1959 productien.
California Farmers, Inc.,
with headquarters ‘at Sara' toga, was organizedin 1946.
