Liberal Arts members vote to seek cash Seven members of Liberal Arts voted to request a $200,-° 000 grant from the Economic Development Administration for ‘every two members who votedto try and raise the money locally. An opinion poll on the method favored by the members to raise the funds was completed a few days ago and the results were three and one-half to one for the federal funds, The Liberal Arts Commission members have estimated that $250,000 is needed to restorethe 104-year-old Nevada Theater and construct a multi-purpose building on the lot at the rear of the theater. The two buildings will form a theater complex when completed. The federal government will grant EDA funds to projects when the local agency shows willingness to cooperate by raising a portion of the needed amount, ‘ In the Liberal Arts request for a grant of. $200,000, . the application to EDA must contain the information that the local group has. $50,000 to go with — grant, a ratio. of 80 The. $50,000 will have to be raised before final application can be accepted by the local Office of Economic Development Planning, on the spot agent for EDA. -. An extensive fund drive is under way to raise the needed monies or to obtain firm pledges by April 1. Mary Geist is chairman of the fund raising drive.

Try It! Many a dieter still thinks that a weight-control diet means no sugar—no dessert— no fun foods. Not so, says a well-known nutritionist. To control weight, you’ve got to cut down—not out. Ice cream with lunch? Can do. Layer cake with dinner? Permitted. But, warns this specialist, the serious dieter must follow two rules: 1. Essential foods must be eaten every day. That means protein foods, fats, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins. 2. Never go over daily calorie quota.‘‘Eat a little» of everything,’’? counsels this doctor. If there’s enough variety in the daily menu, you’re almost sure to get all the nutrients . you need _ for health. For sweet at the end of: a meal helps you leave the table satisfied. Then you won’t be tempted to snack, or to overeat at the next meal. A teaspoon of sugar measures only 18 calories— and even a 100-calorie dessert may not swamp your daily quota. Adiet counselor suggests: ‘‘Watch your fats and oils: they have twice as many calories as sugar..Flavor vegetables with lemon or herbs..Try a vegetable souffle instead of rice, Learn to lose weight slowly—take off the ounces and you’ll ‘take off pounds.’ (NP Features) your DENVER, COLO,, HERALDDISPATCH: "Mr. Laurence M, Gould, President Emeritus of Carleton College, said: 'I do not believe the greatest threat to our future is from bombs or guided missiles.

TOWN TALK, GRASS VALLEY 265-4521 DOWDIEVILLE YARD 289-3351 Wednesday, March 19, 1969 The late Adlai E. Stevenson, statesman and. politician, once said, "We trave together, passengers on a little spaceship.. preserved from annihilation only by the care, the work, and I will say the love we give to our fragile craft." Anyone who has seen the remarkable photographs taken of the earth by the crew of the Apollo 8 must humbly acknowledge the prophetic truth of Mr, Stevenson's words, From 200,000 miles or more out in space, the earth appears to be a body of transcendent and fragile beauty. The astronauts called it “the good earth.” And as Mr Stevenson intimated, it is a fragile earth supporting life as man knows it on a finely balanced combination of cosmic.circumstances that are slowly being altered by man himself, Only in recent years have scientists suspected the many ways in which human beings, by their numbers and __ technological achievements, are beginning to threaten human existence. A part of this threat stems from ignorance of the nature of the life-sustaining forces of earth, plus a stunning lack of perception of the real meaning of what we are pleased to call the population explosion, Dr. John H. Rediske, former Atomic Energy < Commission Fellow and now head of a forest tree sciences group at a large timber company, writes of people and resources in a manner that indelibly .impresses a lay reader. He points out, "If one could compress all geologic time, the 4.5 billion years since the earth was born, into one year some startling facts regarding the recency of life on this ball of rock would become evident.. .let us assume that the earth is bornon the first of January.. .It is May before single-celled living organisms appear in the warm sheltered coastal waters. In the first week of December the primeval forests rise from the lowlands, Twelve days later dinosaurs are roaming the earth and the first mammals appear the day after Christmas. At 10 p.m. on December 31st primitive man makes his appearance. The pyramids are built a minute before midnight. Fifty-seven seconds later Christopher Columbus discovers America and we enter the Industrial Revolution about one second before the New Year." These words of Dr. Rediske show how brief man's existence has been, He goes on to show that in spite of this briefness, man is multiplying at a rate and creating conditions that can terminate his sojourn on earth in a matter of seconds, geologistandable framework, he com‘DO ALL YOUR BANKING AT MLB!

And people on earth at that instant, At 7:48 Monday evening, nearly 20 hours later, the population has doubled. It doubles again only 2 hours and 24 minutes later, Anil again in less than one hour. And yet again, a 11:36 p.m., the population doubles for the fourth time since Christ was born to yield the present figure of approximately three billion people. Twentyfour minutes later, at midnight (the year 2000), it will double for the fith time and six billion human beings will inhabit the earth. And by the year 2070, at the same rate of progression, the earth's population will be an incredible 25 billion! Dr. Rediske then goes intothe real stickler, the resources of nature, about which most of us“ know little or nothing that wil! be called upon to support the teeming billions of persons who are just over the horizon. He tells how the most essential element of life, oxygen, is dependent upon the photosynthetic activity of the seas, the forest and growing plants, Most of us think of these resources in terms of food and forest products, But one of their main functions is to provide oxygen for present and future generations. Observes Dr. Rediske, "It is alarming that, with his tremendous power to alter his environment, man does not even comprehend the questions involved in his survival, much less know the answers. Considering man's demonstrated talent for error, one might ask, half-seriously: Is there intelligent life on Earth?'," and if so, does it know how long it plans to stay?
