"Bizz" Johnson representing Northern California, today revealed that Secretary of Agriculture has declared a freeze emergency in five Second Congressional District counties. The counties involved in the declaration are El Dorado, Modoc, Nevada, Placer and Tebama. Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz advised Congressman Johnson that, although the declaration involved primarily the heavy freezes which were suffered throughout Northern California in the last weekend in March, his emergency declaraticn was sufficiently broad to provide assistance to other farmers who suffered substantially due todrought losses sinceJune 1971. The disaster declaration will mean that injured farmers can obtain low interest loans to offset crop and livestock losses suffered because of the drought and freeze. Congressman Johnson had toured freeze damaged orchards a few days after the devastating’ cold wave and had urged both Governor Reagan and Secretary Butz to issue the declaration as an emergency measure. Cinco de Mayo next Sunday The Cinco de Mayo celebration at Casa Gonzalez will be held Sunday from 2 until 6 p.m. It was not held Sunday, April 30.

It does not list the one that I, and some of my readers who have called, enjoyed in our earlier days. Yes, it does list May Day but ‘since the agitation by labor organizations in the US in 1886 for the establishment of the eight-hour day’ it calls it a labor holiday. The list includes everything from International Labor Days USSR to Yams for Summertime easy Livin’ Opelousa Lousiana, Nicest holidays shown were; Lei Day ‘tA day of wearing leis and honoring the spirit of the lei which is friendliness and goodwill’’ Honolulu Hi., All Florida Folk Festival “entertaining and features the old-timey way of our ancestors’? White Springs Florida, Annual Feast Day and Corn Dance at San Felipe Pueblo New Mexico, Crawfish Festival Breaux Bridge Lousiana, and Spring Feast and Tulip Festival Istanbul Turkey; to name just a few. Chases does say “tit has been celebrated by many people for many reasons since remote times.’ Nice Concession: I remember it as a day when my mother dressed us in our Swinday-best, invited a few friends, served home made ice cream and lemonade for the first time of the summer season, and even arranged music for dancing around the Maypole. I have danced around the Maypole to the tune of Mulberry Bush, Mendelsohns Spring Song, and just plain fidlers music. Its great fun! My mother always used ribbons for the Maypole and didn’t like more than 8. The fun for us kids was to keep the over and under rattern from getting mixed up. For my older cousins and aunts and uncles it was an opportunity for a little courting. They could bow and touch and make eyes at one another without the least criticism. We always knew who mixed up the ribbons and who didn*t catch the mixup until too late and everyone knew what was going on among the courting group but that was just part of the fun. Martina Paull tells me they used to set up a Maypole at the Rough and Ready School in the old days. ® ‘May is a lovely month to have a birthday but I only have three on my list for the first half of the month. Proves the nicest things do come in small packages. Mr. Willis Perry celebrates on May 4, Delton Pharis on May 7, and Debbie Nyce Bursill Brooker on May 14, Mrs. Willis (Alice) Perry and her daughter Mrs. Andy Mueller of Trinity County are fishermen at heart. When Alice visits her daughter June at Ruth Lake in the Trinity Alps they spend their full time either fishing or hunting depending upon the season, On Junes recent visit here they made a fishing trip to a pond near Beale which had been recommended to them, They came home with 29 Blue Gill which Alice says makes excellent eating. One of our Grange ladies, Mrs. Mary Burns, is hunting a sewing machine for use at Gilmore School for the slow learners group. She had ' r eye on my beat up old beauty (purchased as a bride 45 years ago) so we must find her one quick. I surely won’t part with my old treasure. It still works well but won’t do fancy things. Maybe you could help, Call Mary (or J) if you have an old (or new) machine or know of one we might buy reasonably. Mrs. Glenda Prochaska also has a fine community project. A bit bigger! She is spearheading the establishment of a new Girls Dorm at the Fair Grounds. Half of the fun of the I air for our 4H and FFA youngsters is getting together Fair Week. Such a lot of work goes into preparing an entry that they should have a little reward for encouragement, Its OK for the bcys to sleep on cots in the open but our young ladies need just a little more supervision, Until the old Fair office started falling apart it was allowed to suffice. This project just needed someone like Glenda to get it going. It will take quite a lot of money to provide a building suitable for year round use but perhaps the local part of the funding need only be a portion equal to the 4 days of use our young people give it. Mrs. Shirley Juaregui is lending Glenda a helping hand. If you or one of the Organizations you belong to want to support their efforts with time or money just give them a ring. It will be appreciated. Don’t forget Wednesday May 10 at 11:30 a.m, at Mrs, Joseph (Mary) Lees or Rough and Ready Road.
