Sg ne pa pes 13 @ the Nevada County Nugget Wednesday, March J4, 1968 [Tous hb Am a ELReady WT eo vw ss By Fay M. Dunbar 273-2934 Miss, Barbara Young of Australia, Cumnock, New South Wales, talked about her homeland and showed beautiful colored slides of the area at the dinner meeting of the Rough and Ready Fire Dept. Auxiliary last Monday ‘night. Miss Young is an exchange student and is living with the Bacharack family of Colfax while she attends high school there. She was attending Abbotsleith Girls School in Sidney before her acceptance as an exchange student. She is 16 years old and a most accomplished young lady. She has some very definite convictions about her homeland and its future. She is also familiar with its past, particularly the Gold Rush period which was about 3 years later than our own here in Cal»lfornia, Barbara's impression of it was that if an American hadn't come across the gold, which the Australians already knew about, it would have been more efficiently developed at a more opportune time for Australia's economy. Our own gold discoveries, of course, were jae BE OUR GUEST 10 Day Free Trial In Your Home Or Office ELECTRIC WATER COOLER! . ae instant cold water for hefter tasting, more satis4 fying drinks : any time We'll put this compact Oasis .

Grass Valley "opportune" for the Civil War. She tells us there is a Rough and Ready, Australia. This we shall have to find out more about. She displayed areal understanding of Australia's sheep business and of its water problems. She spoke of a game the youngsters play called Coconut Shine. It turns out to be our own game of hitting the can with a rock. Only difference being they use coconuts in place of rocks, Australia is bisected by the Tropic of Capricorn, which is the same distance from the Equator as the Tropic of Cancer which bisects Mexico at Mazatlan, so you know it's hot enough to grow coconuts plentifully. Miss Young is very impressed by America, It took a great deal of effort on her part to win what she considers this excellent opportunity. She is already looking forward to next June and her 6-weeks tour of America and visit to Washington, D.C. where she will meet the president. She attributes her ‘liking for our particular area to the fact that it is similar to her own home. She lives in the "Great Dividing Range", Australia's mountain area, about 150 miles inland from the ocean, Cumnock has more rainfall than most of Australia and like our own Rough and Ready, even some snow. THEY'RE MOVING MEN, NOT MIRACLE MEN Expert care and handling of your household possessionsis everything you can reasonably expect from the moving man. He can’t put that old, familiar neighborhood in a crate.. move the corner drug store to your new home town.. bring along Johnny’s old school or Mary's favorite hairdresser.

She awaits your call at Nevada City PTA tells about 7 Hills teachers The Gold Digger, aPTAnewsletter serving Nevada City Elementary and Seven Hills School, has run a special feature on local teachers, and The Nugget thinks its readers would like to read about them. Prefacing the brief biographies with "Now that the bond election is over for a while, and we have more space, let's get back to meeting our teachers," the Gold Digger reports Thirty guests enjoyed the program. * * * Something new has been added at the Mobile Homes Park or should I say 360 somethings new. It seems the law requires that "Lagoons" be fenced and since the fence didn't turn out to be beautiful the Bradleys have planted 360 rose bushes to cover it. There were a few left from the lagoon and these have been planted up front. Imagine planting 360 rose bushes! eK Sid Fippin who entered Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital last week has been transferred to the Veterans Hospital at Martinez. He says he is feeling fine.
