A Superior Court, Decree No. 106: HORATIO ALGER UPDATED The Horatio Alger story will never die, seeing as how frequently it is repeated. Take, for example, the two rags-toriches yarns that have come recently from the University of California at Berkeley. Current star in the nuclear firmament is a self-educated former elevator repair man who some years ago astounded the scientific world by offering them an exciting new theory as to how they could harness hydrogen power. He is Nicholas Constantine Christofilos; known to physicists—first in exasperation and now in fond admiration—as “the crazy Greek.” He was the one who dreamed up the 300-mile high atom bomb tests that were just recently revealed as being amazingly successful. _. Current star in the nation’s sports firmament is the UC basketball team. Those pore li'l baréfoot boys went back to Louisville as the underdogs of the national college cage championships, and by golly, whipped the tar out of all the big heroes! Yep, this State may not be any great shakes in the Rose’ bowl, but get us in a lab or under the baskets, and watch out! Committee Okays Pollution Program Committee on Public Works has been busy the last few weeks considering water: pollution control legislation and small watershed flood control programs. The House. will soon’ consider the water control pollution bill, adopted by the committee. The original act-was adopted into law in 1956. It provides matching funds .to local communities to build sewage facilities badly needed in our rapidly growing areas. The ratio of federal spending is about $1 to $4 by local communities or districts. Our.committee turned down the Administration proposal to eliminate the federal participation in the water pollution control program, and instead voted out a bill to double the existing federal authorization -of $100 million annually for 10 years, and raise the ceiling to $500,000 Governor's Report (Continued from Page 1) fits to private and public agencies alike.” . Governor Brown said that under a partnership agreement, all Trinity power would go to PG&E. Under federal development, , he said, public agencies would have preference but large amounts of power would still be available to PG&E. He urged the subcommittee to include in this year’s appropriation for CVP not less than $2,500,000 for preliminary work on the Trinity power facilities. es2¢8 Governor Brown said last -week he will appoint a woman to the newly created post of consumer counsel in the state .government. “She should be an _ economist or a lawyer,” he told a group of Democratic Party women attending a seminar on legislation in Sacramento. Earlier, in signing the bill into law, Governor Brown said. the action assured complete enactment of his program to protect the consumer.

It is surprising as to the number of persons from the Second Congressional . District who. -have business in the East such as lumbermen, livestock men, mining men, and others representing the varied economic interests in our district. Southern California has always enjoyed additional first class airline service compared to Northern California A new nonstop jet flight will literally save hours for those of us who reside in the northern area. With the fine feeder line service we have in the district, it will prove of great benefit. 750 New Homes Needed In This Area Steve Chileski was elected permanent chairman of the Western Nevada County Housing De=-} velopment Committee at a meeting Monday, May 11, at Hennessy School in Grass Valley. A meeting is scheduled for next Monday, May 18, to form other committees. . According to reports, it will be necessary to build 750 new homes in the Nevada City-Grass Valley area in the near future.
