Martina Paull tells me that her sister, Mamye Cole, then Myme Morrison, was a deputy registrar in 1921 when Constitutional Amednment 19: became effective. Amendment 19 read “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by ‘any state on account of sex.’”’ Mamye rode the countryside on her horse ‘ eels’ and registered some 500 voters. They were not all women, They included miners and farmers who lived at great distances from the courthouse. Martina tells me that Mamyes horses hame was really ‘Nettie’.

I only realized, during a recent discussion that I overheard about a stranger "there, that I had not told you about the Abbotts. Mrs. Abbott transferred here trom Kings Beach post office to replace Cathryn Frazer who retired. The Abbotts purchased the Phillip Parry place last summer but had continued to live part time at Kings Beach until recently. They: have two sons. Richard is home for ‘summer vacation. The other son is at college somewhere in the east. Sometime ago I reported to you that there was a new carburetor being tested that would solve all our ecological driving problems. That © report was grossly exagerated. It is still reportedly a fine carburetor, and will possibly be used when the manufacturers retool and are ready. It does not save gasoline. While it proved equal to the United States laws about pollution emmissions it could not quite qualify for the stiffer requirements of the California law. Maybe, as the inventor says, there is skulduggery but that is the latest report I have Rough and Ready is a part of the ‘newly proposed Western Nevada County Recreation District. The Truckee area has had its Eastern Nevada County Recreational District. for several years. The district would extend almost to Grass Valley on the east and to the county line on the west. The Supervisors have agreed to hold hearings and to permit the planning and development of the new Gateway Recreation District if it proves to be acceptable to the voters. The group of ‘interested citizens’ who have worked out the plans, which must first be approved by LAF CO, hope to get the proposal on the November ballot.The reason for all this is the 78 acres of land given to Nevada County by Boise Cascade for a county park. The land will be there, but after March 1976, the money may not. It seems to me that it is a beautiful spot for a county picnic park and an ideal opportunity to have such a park since the money to build it and the land for it are provided. The group is planning a low maintenance type of program so that it need not be a burden. The high maintenance swimming pool, which seems to have been the block all along, has been put aside for a time when the tax base can handle the costs without a heavy burden on the taxpayer. The group has water and sewage systems, roads, restrooms, trails, baseball, and picnic facilities in its proposal for the hearings. T have been a kibitzer in the citizens group because hopefully the county historical societie’s farming museum, planned for the Buttermakers cottage there, will be ready to provide a very interesting part of the park for citizens and tourists alike. Gateway was the historical society’s suggestion for a name. Penn Valley has always provided a kind of gateway to western Nevada county. y traffic came that way and through Rough and Ready to the. northern mines. When hydraulicking was developed along the San Juan Ridge traffic still came through Penn Valley to reach the ridge at French Corral. Days that they don’t have piscigs doh or report ordinary news.
