A Trip To The National Convention} By Alfred Heller Through the courtesy of Sam Brightman of the Democratic National Committee the Nugget has been allowed a press credential for the Democratic National Convention beginning on Monday. In my conventionreports which will appear inthe next two issues of the Nugget, Iwill attempt totouch on items of interest to Nevada County citizens. I will also be working in Los Angeles with Sacramento's KCRA-TV (channel 3) and KCRA Radio, in a menial capacity not as yet fully defined. KCRA's star announcer Stan Atkinson will be on the spot. Sometimes, because of the intense interest in Presidential nominees, people forget that conventions are more than mere nominating forums. Among other things, party conventions adopt platforms of principles and policies to which the candidates always pledge their support. The platforms offer anexcellent indication of what the parties stand for and how they differ. Ifor one will be interested in com: iene and Republican plat ch diverse matters as natural paring the forms ons resources, foreign policy, and national economic growth. For our national policies in these areas will have a direct influence on the lives of all Of us. As tothe Democratic candidate for President, it looks as if Senator Kennedy will receive a large proportion of California delegation votes. Governor Brown's California delegation is by and large moderate one. If, as appears likely, the governor swings his support to Kennedy, it has been estimated that well over half of the delegation will goalong with him. It seems doubtful that Adlai Stevenson will be able to obtain any sizable early ballot voting boost from the California delegation. Carl Anderson, Nevada Union Junior High School teacher, will also be at the convention. Ihope to compare notes with him from time to time. I am sure we will both gain much practical knowledge of one of the most colorful and vital of Democratic institutions---the national party convention. Withthese disjointed thoughts, we are off to that disjointed town, Los Angeles. Letter To The Editor To the Editor: For two consecutive weeks I have read a cloumn by “Maggi, ” and noted her uncomplimentary reference to tourists that pass through your community. It seems to me that if the people of your area are interested in income from tourists, someone had better silence this provincial-shrew type columnist. Walter Winchell sarcasm is not becoming of your little newspaper. We tourists (I visit Nevada. County friends each summer) do not appreciate being referred to as something that “just crawled out from under a rock.” And I personally do not “sniff the air like a bunny.” Nor do I complain about ‘restaurant prices, which “Mag. gi” thinks is a typical tourist activity. And is there anything improper about a tourist taking pictures in your area? “Maggi” considers picture taking a ridiculous pastime even though her newspaper makes more use of pictures ‘than most small weeklits. Very sincerely, o LM. RAL. ; San Bernardino, Calif. Dear “Maggi”: .. Read in your column of June 15th that you are looking for Subscriber Mrs. John Peres of Richmond. I believe we have located her for you. Our interest was aroused when we received a duplicate copy of June 15th and then read the note in your column that you were looking for Mrs. Peres. There is only one Mrs. John Peres listed in the Richmond directory. She is Mrs. John J. Peres, 549 29th St., Richmond, Calif. (BEacon 2-3077.) According to Mrs. Peres’ (adult) son, to. whom we spoke, the person who placed the subscription is Mrs. Peres’ cousin living in your area. As the Peres have not yet received their June 15th issue, we have sent them our duplicate. Incidentally, Mrs. Peres has been ill in the hospital; however, her son informs us that she is now recovering and looks forward to reading your paper. ; Yours very truly, 3 Mrs. A. C. A.

Pubjish: June 22, 29, July 8, 13, 1960. Not so long ago, comparatively few families owned a place at the beach or in the mountains, and usually these retreats fell into one of two categories. Either they were literally shacks, offering little but shelter, or were expensive luxury “lodges” available only to a few. The idea of a “second” home conjured up visions of a town house and a country estate. ond homes, most of .them owned by families in the $4,000 to $6,000 a year bracket, are sound investments by their owners as well as desirable parts of everyday living. The trend is considered a logical outgrowth of new facts of American life—increasing leisure time, higher pay, more flexible building methods and materials and more accessible recreation areas. Experts see in the. second home trend a relationship to the consumer’s hunger for second cars, second bathrooms, second telephones, second television sets and even second boats. When the Douglas Fir Plywood Association first became aware of a mass movement toward ownership of secondhomes, very little. was known about the specific reasons behind it and the reasons for its rapid Subsequent surveys eliminate part of the mystery. One of the most striking discoveries is that the second home owner cannot be neatly bracketed in an economic groyp. Chances are the second home § family earns about $6,000 a year— but thousands of second home buyers make $4,000 a vo or less and thousands Today thousands of sec. considered . ‘House, Nevada City, Caliof others make $12,000 a .THE ASSASSIN’S ‘BROTHER Davis called his theater THE DRAMATIC HALLe ’ it came troupes that had played San Francisco and ramento with much success. One of the early companies was managed by the celebrated American tragedian Junius Brutus Booth who be-lieved the least talented of his four actor sons was his fourth, Edwin, Edwin, however, ultimately became one a of the most famous actors in the land, S The apple of Booth the Elder's eye was John who, some fifteen yearslater, became one of the most despised assassins in the world, the murderer of President Lincoln. Edwin, pictured above, was only twenty-one when his _ father dismissed him from the Booth company. But, young, talented and ambitious as well, Edwin promptly found a job with manager D.W. Waller then planning to

Deep snow halted all transportation, form stages to shanks mare; and audiences, expected from the outlying camps and depended on for the: financial success of the troupe, were snowed in. After the first night, the marvelous performance of young Edwin was played to a practically empty house. With considerable difficulty the company managed to move scenery, costume trunks and themselves to Grass Valley where they suffered the same experience. Broke, 4 Starving and in complete desperation the troupe set out on foot for the snow-free Sacramento valley. At Timbuctootheactorsran into pouring, steady rain, but the Timbuctooans guaranteed full houses if Edwin Booth would portray Iago for them. This he did, and the day was won. time, however, Edwin Booth was to visit Nevada City once more. That without playing to the eager audience 7 that awaited his appearance.

Gone were theater, scenery, costumes, j props! Today, the world remembers the greatness of Edwin Booth as itremembers the infamy of his assassin brother , John Wilkes Booth. Edwin's greatness did much to soften the shame brought on his family by his brother on that tragic day in Washington, in 1865, where he shot AbraThis photo of Edwin was taken in September, eleven years later at San Francisco, and he wrote the photo"San Francisco September 14, 1876.

The second home buyer also wants to incorporate his own ideas into the structure. Most start with a “shell” worth anything from a few hundred dollars to / $3,500 or more and build from there until the leisure home is complete, He and his family, along with their desire to “create” their own home ,also intend to do a share of the building themselves. Many start with a set of hand tools and a plan; others buy panelized, prefabricated parts and put the shell together; some hire contractors. to erect the shell and link in utilities, then do the finish and extension work themselves. A_ recent conference of lumber dealers and magazine editors in Tacoma, Washington, revealed that still other prospective second home buyers hope to acquire land in resort-type areas and get their cabins in package deals. Others rent federal land for nominal. fees (generally not more than $50 to $100 a year). on a long-term basis. Many scout for their own lots on islands, ocean frontage, mountains and even in deserts.

He might find that place in any oti tigen a but he generally wants it to be a wholesome area to take .a new trend develops lumber dealers and builders in the cabin business have worked out finnacial arrangements with national concerns to make it easier for customers. The experts say there are a number of reasons for the growth of the second home trend. The first is higher pay coupled with more leisure time. Ten years ago there were about 12 million Americans making $4,000 a year. Today there are 36 million. With big highway building programs, it is easier to get to a resort or wilderness area. And, there are more new areas to go to, such as man-made reservoirs, improved — beaches, and newly opened lakes. . ‘With more young people and many more retired people the need for recreation has greatly increased. Many second home owners invest first because they want space for their children to play—and. decide later to develop the cabin for use as a retirement home when the primary dwelling is no longer required.
