‘The Sandpiper’ L
Dear Bob Paine,
I want to tell you how much I
enjoyed yourcolumn on William
Bourn and how his money from
the Empire Mine bought the Lakes
of Killarney. My neighbors are
Irish and when they visit Ireland
next spring your column of July 1st:
willgowiththem, Onthechance
you have never seen the Lakes of
Killarney I enclose a beautiful
view for you.
Ihave 70 glorious 35 MM slides
of Nevada City and two close-ups
of Billy Bourn's Empire Mine
CBbCBne FOOL’S GOLD
buy that must be out of print. It
is H, P, Davis' "Gold Rush Days
In Nevada City” published by
Harold Berliner in 1948.
Sincerely,

Monterey Park, California
Hilltop Peace
By Mark Bullock
There is a beauty in the mountains,
There is peace up in the hills,
And there's music sweetly
soothing,
In the laughter of the rills.
Corrupt upper middle class around
the Big Sur country near Monterey,
California,
This brings the Episcopal clergyman Burton tocallon Miss Taylor
at her artists studio overlooking
the Pacific ocean to discuss different philosophies. Burton is
urbane, but is no match for the
charming Liz. I never know why
it is always the Episcopalian
ministers who succumb to the
ways of the flesh. Don't the
Baptists and the Seventh Day
Adventists ever have feet of clay?
Kael.

Lakes of Killarney--Bought with Empire Mine Gold
mansion. Other pictures I value
are ones of your Christmas Tree
Sequoia before it fell to the freeway. Some excellent ones of
Malakoff Diggins that is to
become a State Park thanks to
you wonderful people of Nevada
County that want to share your
treasures with the rest of the
world,
When I travel the by-ways
around Nevada CityI travel alone
to find the beauty and peace that
is so abundant in your countryside. I don't mean to bore you,
but I just want to tell you how
much your town, people and
environment mean to just one
person. I'm sure it means a lot
to others, but to mel liketo
think of Nevada City as my future
and permanent home. The
Mother Lode I've travelled from
one end tothe other. Only in
Nevada City did I find the most
friendly and kindly people.
Everywhere isa smile and a hello
for strangers. Your churches
which I attend greet you as one
of the congregation tome
Nevada City is just heaven on
earth, When Mark Bullock wrote
Hilltop Peace I am sure that he
was writing the poetry that is
Nevada City.
There is a book I would like to
Let me walk the pleasant high
roads,
Where the wind in voices kind
Softly whisper a contentment
That brings quietness of mind
I know God's in the valley
And in the busy street;
But He seems a little nearer
On a hilltop's still retreat.
Here's my longing for communion
With my Lord is not denied,
And my hungering for His presence
Is completely ‘satisfied.
I wanderedin to see Liz and
Dick inthe Sandpiper. Ever since
I became a birdwatcher, even
titles of movies intrigue me so I
thought the picture was for birdwatchers, After just a few seconds
of the wide screen I sensed I was
way Off base left my seat and
took a second look at the marquee
which advertised ‘an adult love
story’.
Liz Taylor plays a fallen woman
who has excessive love for her
bastard son from whom she refuses
toseverthe umbilical cord. The
son continually breaks the law
and under court orders is sent to
a church school run by Richard
Burton, Liz doesn't want her son
brainwashed by the scrubbed and
Burton finds Liz repairing the
injured wing of a sandpiper,
While your eye is on the symbolic
injured bird seeking freedom and
Liz in her overflowing sweaters
Dick is busy turning his collar
around,
Mr. Burton and Miss
Taylor. They were paid
$750,000 for this
blooper.
Dick tells his innocent wife Eva
Marie Saint that he is going to
San Francisco on a fund raising
drive, but instead we find him
on the beach with Liz pawing the
sand, The camera moves to the
rippling waters of the blue Pacific.
We now find Dick commutting
back to his wife to tell her whats
happened, Then back to Liz to
tell her that he has told his wife.
Well, as many a man has found
out, his gabbiness has got him in
hot waterwith bothwomen, This
gives Liz a chance for her big
scene and she fusses and fumes
in the grand hurt manner,
The photography is superb.
Much of to-days beatnik artists
life is portrayedin an interesting
manner. Big Sur scenery however
isno match for the heaving sighs
of Lizin four sweater changes. I
know little of the species called
woman, but the little I do know
makes me think that the character
portrayed by Miss T aylor is totally
phony. She pretendsto hate men
but is constantly setting booby
traps like the spider with the
flies. Like the marque said its
an adult love story. Tell meays A $750,000 Rotten Egg
Somebody just what is an adult?
I'm not sure that I ever metone,
Dear Bob Paine,
Enjoyed your account of the
Galivotti story.
Did you know that the driver,
Jay Ostrum, was Elaine Mobbey's
uncle?
Women at the University of
Nevada in Reno,. Nevada!
Elaine is now Dean of
As you know, she was born and
raised in Bloomfield, She isa
master story teller, One lives
thru the whole experience when
Elainetells "UncleJay's” version
of the story especially right at
the spot where the men were first
shot at,
Not long ago, I could not find
the "Galivotti rock" on that grade.
If it has been destroyed, or, if the
old name has faded couldn't the
Nevada Co. Historical Society
remark that spot? Perhaps that
hasallbeendone, We drive past
those old markers too rapidly
these days,
One should get a tape recording
of Elaine's version of that story,
Sincerely,
Fidella Legg Churc
