Flynn EDITORIAL A Desire To Serve By now, most readers of the Citizen should be aware of the fact that as of this edition, their newspaper is merged with the Nugget. A quick glance through/these ‘pages should satisfy them that most of their favorite Citizen features have also merged with the: Nugget. Nugget readers, of which there are many, will --we hope--be pleased to seethat all of the best Nugget features will remain a part of their newspaper. We.have made sometypographical changes in the Nugget masthead--with out changing its basic character--in keeping with the clean, pictorial format which the Citizen has used and which we intend to perpetuate. But these are all details, physical matters of appearance and style and technique which no matter how important they seem momentarily, are in fact only surface matters. Perhaps it is more important at this time that we make ourselves clear concerning a question whichmany have asked us during the past week. The question, in essense, is: whose editorial policy will now be followed, the Nugget's or the . Citizen's? While it is the Citizen organization and personnel that will now prepare editorial copy, it should be said that in the tradition of boththe Nugget and the Citizen we donot and will not hold preconceived, unchangeable positions on issues of public importance. On the other hand, it.is an old belief of the Nugget, and considerably less old but no less strongly held belief of the Citizen, that toreport the news fully and accurately is necessary but not enough. Completeness and accuracy you can findin an encyclopedia. In a newspaper _ youneed something more: enthusiasm; a willingness to interpret the news; a desire to dig out a story; a love for the community--its fascinating past, its present beauty, its bright future; awillingness to laugh or cry; a penchant for climbing out on a limb once in a while; a desire to serve rather than dictate. These are beliefs mutually held by the Nugget and the Citizen in the past. You may be assured that they will now be carried forward, doubly strengthened. A fiffal note: we wishto thank Mr. and Mrs. John D. Truscott for the cordial and invaluable assistance they have rendered the Citizen staff in the complicated task of taking over the Nugget. 1 Stories, poems, essays, drawings and news of general interest, compiled from the classwork of students in Nevada County Schools. All schools and teachers are cordially invited to submit materjal for this column. P) This week's material is written by otht grade students in Bruce Harvey's classes at Nevada Union Junior High.

I ask you, If one thinks for a moment, It is not such a puzzle. Tis thewhirlpool of life itself P.S. I wasbornin Little York on the hill above Dutch Flat and my brother in Remington Hill area. (Ed.

RESTORATION OF DEMOCRACY by Louise Moore In the year 1960, the primary concern of the United States will be that of electing a new president. The man and party emerging victorious should depend upon what issues are discussed during the primaries and also what each patty stands for. There are many issues the solution of which will be regarded by political candidates as being necessary for the advancement and protection of the United States. One problem which causes wide controversy is religion. Do we wanta Catholic president? Should we continue manufacturing andtesting weapons of war that kill and maim our fellow man?: “Let's promote more peace,” cry people everywhere. How much should be spent on foreign aid? These and many other questions will be debated in the 1960 presidential campaign. . When there are so many ideas before us in the newspapers, on radio and television, we all wonder which issue is the most important. To me, the most important issue has been carelessly overlooked. It is, “The Restoration of Democracy." ‘True, our government was founded as a democracy “conceived in liberty," and the American people are. proud of this. But, as termites silently destroya building, so gangsters and political crooks have crept in permeating the foundation of our democratic government. This gradual decay of our government has removed it farther and farther away from its sole intent; that of a "government ofthe people, by the people, and for the people." Before we attempt to improve systems of government in foreign countries, we should ask: Isthe "American way of life" really up to pat? We should set an example. America. _ . oung citIZeNS. to rum Topical Comment By Students Of The Nevada Union High School CITIZEN A Unanimous Selection ching happen in a true democracy? Another of the primary evils confronting our country is that of the elite class of people who control production and make millions of dollars daily when many werking-—men.donot have . enough income to feed, clothe, ‘and provide the necessities for their families. All presidential candidates vow to uphold the bill of rights andto defend the Constitution. However, none of them’ seem to be in favor of abolishing the two Congressional committees which have placed the First Amendment in jeopardy. These committees--the House UnAmerican Activities Committee and: the Senate Internal-Security Committee seem to exist for the purpose of inhibiting criticism, stifling dissent and curtailing .debate. This “guided democracy" has the pattern of totalitarianism. Debating the question of these committees would give the national electorate a chance to decide whether it approves of informal annulmeni of First Amendment: guarantees by Congressional committees, through inhibiting our right to freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion and the right to assemble peaceably and petition the government. Yet none of the candidates have discussed these committees which would inhibit our freedom. Approximately one-hundred years ago, Abraham Lincolnemancipated the slaves. This man was unquestionably one of our greatest presidents and he served during a crisis: This year the United States is facing many crisisand this year we need another Lincoln who will promote equality and democracy forall. We need a Lincoln to emancipate the “wage Slaves, " to protect and defend the rights of the American people. Peace and progress can be . built only when our foundation of democracy must be restored. before we build any farther. ra LILY WILCOX WEEK OF THE Lily Wilcox of Nevada City was unanimously selectedtobe our Citizen of the Week by the Nevada City Girl Scout Council, and we concur with the idea after hearing about her from her many friends and neighbors. Lily has hadhertroop, No. 11, for five years. She first took the girls when they were in the third grade, and now this year they are eighth graders. The Wilcox's are the parents of four children, one boy and three girls. All three of the girls are scouts, although just one is in her mother's troop. The son, who is just in kindergarten, is tooyoung, butall things being equal, we imagine that one day he too will be in scouting. Howard Wilcox is the owner of the Family Barber Shop on Broad Street. To quote Mrs. Ernest Roberts, presiT“dent of the Nevada City Girl Scout Council, "Lily is a favorite leader of everyone. Sheis also a friend to everyone. We feel’that she best expresses what a scout leader should be in not only her work, but in her daily activities and throughout her life." Welcome, Lily Wilcox, to our Citizen of the Week Hall of Fame. But to be truthful, our example of democracy is very anemic. Our constitution states that “all.men are created equal and are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights," yet, we are not striving to make that so. In the South, the Negroes are inferior to the white race and they do not have an equal ” chance of living happily or successfully. Would such a . .Housewives Will Bow!
