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

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

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

of his second home as a retirement hideaway.
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.

.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.
