NEVADA COUNTY LAUDS SCADDEN AS MAN OF YEAR Crowd of 250 Gathers To Honor Longtime Civic Leader The Elks-hall was packed last Saturday night as Phil Scadden, ex-Nevada City fire chief, postmaster and civic leader, was officially honored as “1953 Nevada County Citizen of the Year.” Many persons from all parts of the country, unable to attend, sent telegrams and letters, many of which were read to the audience by Jack Siegfried, who acted as narrator. Traces His Wife Former Boxer Says Walcott 54 Years Old It’s no wonder Joe Walcott got knocked out in the first round last Friday, says Bill “Smilin’ Kid” Tatum. “As nearly as I can figure,” says the Smilin’ Kid, “Joe was around 54 years old when he got into the ring with Marciano.” Tatum, one-time middleweight contender and now a resident of Willow Valley, makes his estimate as follows: In 1926 the Smilin’ Kid and Joe were fighting on the same bill at Madison Square Garden. At that time, Tatum contends, Joe had been fighting six years. Since you have to be 21 years old in New York in order to enter the ring professionally, Joe then would ‘NO VICE RING, NO JUVEN ILE DOPE RINGS IN NEVADA CITY, ASSERTS POLICE CHIEF JACKSON DOWNIEVILLE LOOKS FOR LARGE CROWD ON MEMORIAL DAY Downieville’s Memorial weekend celebration is expected to draw hundreds of Nevada County residents to this tiny mountain community.

The Sacramento Union five column. heading read “Roseville, Nevada City Police Deny DopeRun Vice Ring.” . According to the story, Nevada City was one of a half dozen Northern California cities where there was organized prostitution or where teen-agers through dope were forced into the business. Chief J. J. Jackson, when he saw the story, leaned back in his swivel chair and’ mopped his brow. “This is a very interesting story,” he said. “The only trouble is I'm told it happened two or three years ago and I don't know anything about it. “We don’t have any prostitution in Nevada City and I've certainly never heard of a juvenile dope ring.

Bookkeeper Involved in Theft of MG Car Some of the fastest police work seen in these parts yesterday saw a 45-year-old bookkeeper arrested only three hours after he allegedly passed a bum check to buy a car. Ajvin Francis Burke, aged 45, dismissed Tuesday as an NID employee, bought himself a fancy MG from a local used car lot and tock off for Reno. Sheriff Wayne Brown and Deput» Sheriff Frank Gallino, suspecting something of the sort, checked the lots, found where he had made the purchases and then the, too, took off for Reno. The result is that Burke is in the cooler in. Reno and Wayne Brown has gone after him. Commander Leonard Schaeffer, in announcing the start of . this campaign, stated: “This is the same program that has been so successful in past years in obtaining many hospital beds and wheels chairs for community-wide use. The rapidly growing list of supports of . our campaign each year shows a definite desire to improve the community’s supply of emergency and sick room equipment and a sincere interest in helping to make this a safer, more healthful community in which to live. “Support of this campaign must be in the purchase of magazine subscriptions, donations will not be accepted. Representatives, who will sell subscriptions, will carry credentials signed by officers of Post No. 2655 and persons solicited are requested to ask to see the credentials of the solicitor.” LOCAL HORSEMEN EYEING SACRAMENTO SHOW ON SUNDAY Classification sheets and_ invitations were received by horsemen of this area for the.

Many, many people at the dinner expressed the underlying thought behind the award: that it is wonderful to pay homage to a man while he still lives so that he may know the community realizes its debt to him. MATSON LUMBER SPENDING $75,000 ON HILLS FLAT PLANT The Matson Lumber Company of Hills Flat is finishing a remodeling job on its plant said to have cost approximately $75,000 . making it one of the most com-; plete lumber operations in the} Nevada Sierras. { Aside from extensive remodel. ing of the mill, they have installed . a new edger andmotorized the} equipment. A new drying yard} has been put in measuring 100 x] 500 feet, and the remanufacturing . plant has been rebuilt, including . installation of a new air-operated selective 9-saw trimmer.

Three times in his 17-year career in the ring, Tatum fought for a world title; he took on Mickey Walker, Harry Greb and Jack Delaney, but each fight he lost in spite of the fact that in his fight with Greb he had him on the canvas five times. Cnly three times in his 163 fights was the Smilin’ Kid knocked out. He had his nose flattened and ears mangled but had them fixed by surgery. He won 117 of his fights and left the ring in sound physical and mental health. “Iwas fortunate,’’ he says, “I’m not walking on. my heels like a lot of fellows who spent their lives in boxing.” Nonetheless, Tatum is determined that neither of his sons enter the ring. “I taught them self defense but that’s as far as it goes,” he comments. The Kid holds definite views on boxing. He thinks a lot of Joe ‘Louis ,for example. “He was a great sport and a good fighter,” he says. But Maxie Baer is another matter. “I once told him he couldn’t box apples.” He thinks the heavyweight division today is going to ruin because of a lack of competition, and in his conversation he always harks back to the man he considers the greatest of them all— Jack Dempsey. Tatum now lives a quiet life in. Willow Valley as a hard rock miner at sthe Brunswick. He has three girls and two'boys and_is enjoying life here after his long travels from one city to the other. — x ANGLERS! TROUT SEASON OPENS Thy SATURDAY me M often} auspices of Hugh E.
