id . "Notes off By P. L. My sisters, who were traveling by various means of locomotion along the Cape Cod coast on their vacation recently have mailed me a number of. newspapers from that area and the baked bean country.around Boston. In one weekly .a fullsized publication numbering 44 pages and published in Concord, Mass,. ‘‘Minute Man”’ territory, I found a great deal of interesting reading. _ One of the items will be of special interest to Ruth Paine and her ‘‘Meals on Wheels” program people. In Concord, so the story reads, ‘“‘at 11:30 a.m. on May ist the ‘‘Wheel-AMeal” program got underway. From now on regularly at that hour Monday through Friday, volunteers will pick up meals prepared in the Emerson Hospital kitchen and deliver them to residents who because of age or disability are unable to provide themselves with well balanced, nourishing meals.” The story describes the various committees involved and their respective functions and then gets down to the ‘‘nitty gritty’’ of the whole thing.‘‘Recipients of the Wheel-A-Meal program must be Concord residents who have no one in the household able to cook for them. A hot midday meal and a cold supper will cost $1.61. The menus are delicious, the main entree will include such items as roast beef au jus, broiled chicken breast and veal gruyere. The minimum time for enrolling in theprogram will be one week.” Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? The .Concord Journal for the edition of May 3 carried as its lead story a real tale of woe headlined: ‘“‘Teenagers Roasted Again, Youth Center Under Fire’’.in which was reported that ‘‘Concord’s teenagers came in for another roasting Monday night as some 30 neighbors:of the Youth Center poured their hearts out'to the Selectmen and. demanded action.” Nevada City, Ca.

It is quite a story and I can sympathize with the complainants. I know just exactly how they feel! After scanning the eight or more pages of ‘‘Want Ads’’ in the Journal I seriously wondered where people parked their cars back there.I’ve NEVER seen so many ‘Garage Sales”’ advertised anywhere before all at one time!

NEVADA COUNTY NUGGET . r 301 Broad Street Meeting of Sierra {Foundation Meeting recently on the Sierra College campus, were members of the Board of Directors of the }Sierra College Foundation. Presiding was Ray Fisher, President of the Foundation Board. The Sierra College Foundation was organized in November of 1972; the Articles’ of Incorporation were submitted to the Secretary of State and to the State Franchise Tax Board for approval of a tax exempt organization. Approval from both those State agencies has now been received, and the Foundation is * accepting contributions from _ service clubs, individuals, and other community groups. ough iBTMew ss By Fay M. Dunbar We just had our first fire and I hope our last. It actually wasn’t our fire. It was on the PG&E pole in our pasture. A capacitor burned. The capacitor is a part of that big transformer you see on some of the power poles. It evens out the load of electricity advised our PG&E informant. Our guests and number one husband were sitting in the summer chairs out by the breezeway when it all happened. They said it was quite an awesome and fascinating sight and sound. My old cows were quite upset. At least three ‘ reports went in to PG&E about it from other neighbors and passersby. I came home from the grocery to find a backyard full of trucks, firemen, and discussion. Of course I missed all the excitement of it. My sister-in-law took pictures so I may be able to see it at a later date. At this particular time of yearAt was perfectly safe for us. The’ pasture is so green that it couldn’t burn. But it was very reassuring that the firetruck responded so quickly. Neighbors Warren Warford, John Tinsley, Joseph Lee and Don Litchfield were manning the equipment. They stood by until the PG&E man arrived. This all happened last Sunday. Our company, my brother Clement Copelan and his wife Leslie, were here for the long weekend from Paramount, California. They love our country too. In fact we spent the first day of their visit orienting them to Western Nevada County. They hope to retire here in 1977. The PG&E repair service will be moving in on us when materials for the repairs are accumulated. My husband will have a fascinating day watching them work. Their emergency man had a fiberglass extension pole that enabled him to stand on the ground near the base of the pole and disconnect the fuse wires from the burned out capacitor so that no further shorts could happen before the equipment can be repaired. It seems that fiberglass is a perfect insulator. snakes but rattlers frighten me to death. Besides’ they sometimes hurt , even kill, livestock and pets. ett Another of the firemen, Mr. Joseph Lee of Rough and Ready Road, advised us that his wife Mary expects the doctor will remove the cast from her knee at this week’s visit. Mary will probably still have to use crutches for a while. Each day though will be just a little easier for her is the verdict. 2 Fo a Mr. Willis Perry returned home from the hospital last Sunday. He must still spend most of his time in bed for awhile. Each day now will be easier for him also. Willis has not been well for some time and his recovery will be a big event for him. You can bet he will be back in the office sooner than he should. tat Our neighbor Mr. Abbott came by to talk about the fire. It was in his pasture also. He tells us their son David will. be spending the summer here. David is attending’ the University of Davis. Their oldest son is attending Law School at the University of Virginia. He will be home briefly. In his spare time their oldest works for Congressman Tunney. At present he is researching water at. Tahoe, Clear Lake and Pyramid Lake in Nevada. tate Another visitor we had over the weekend was Mrs. Guy (Olive) Robinson. She came by to get some information on Rough and Ready to send to the National Geographic Magazine. Olive has done it again. Her interesting career as_ beef farmer and the especially interesting aspect of their annual drive up to the high country for summer pasture is of interest to everyone. A well known feature © writer has written an article on Alpine and Nevada counties. It The pole came collapsed in ayis scheduled to appear in the short length which one man handled very easily. He says it’s . one piece of equipment well worth its cost. Another worthwhile example of our good American ingenuiety. +++ Before he left Mr. Warford of Burkard Lane told us to be watchful of early rattlers. He had just caught one in his front yard. It was all coiled to strike. He demonstrated its length for us, probably two feet. He caught the ‘‘beastie’’ in a five gallon can and delivered it to the NUHS biology laboratory for the classes to study. Very thoughtful person! Afraid I would have killed it on the sopt and thought later .I still believe they do more harm than good. In the 17 years we have lived here we’ve seen two. I try to ‘snore gopher September issue of the magazine and includes this drive. The magazine of course wrote to Mrs. Robinson for verification. Their verification included requests for information on the place of origin of the drive and so their interest in Rough and Ready. This cattle drive made the movies about 10 years ago. In the old days, even a couple of years ago, various ranchers of the area gathered their cattle together and drove together to the high country. It took a couple of weeks or so and made quite a camping trip for the entire family. Probably the drive two years ago was the last drive of its kind. Most of the cattle go by truck now . Since her recent illness Olive has been grounded. She feels very hopeful now that the doctor will soon have her ‘“‘back in the saddle 273-2934 again’. She has gradually limited her ranching to just a few pets; but she is really looking forward to being back in the saddle again. tet The Marion Harwoods of Hilaire Road have two of their chicks at home at present. Cynthia is living at home while she does ‘her nurses’ training. Burce, the youngest of their two boys, is home on leave before being assigned to Korea. Bruce graduated from the Air Force technical, school at Chanute Air Force Base, Ill. He was assigned there in November of 1972. patted The Wm. Potters of Ladybug Lane will'not be having their son . home for his usual spring visit this year. He is in England at present. After his assignment in Hawaii a couple of years ago he was assigned to a base in Virginia where the family still make their home. On his most recent trip the Potters were able to meet him at McClelland Air Base for a very brief hello. This year Mr. Potter’s two sisters from Atlanta came for a quick visit. Mrs. Waid (Ors) Jones and Mrs. John (Robena) Burns arrived the end of April. They enjoyed one quick trip together to the Lake and to Carson City, Virginia City and Reno. They also: had: time to visit Mrs. Scheave at the Wedding Chapel. And they. spent one day together in San Francisco before their departure for home. MS one earn Mrs. Frank Freestone of Rough and Ready Road had her neighbors in for coffee last Thursday morning while she is on vacation from her iob with the Nevada County Planning Department. It was the rainy morning. She had planned on having us in the patio. She served the very large group of us in her cheery living room complete with open fire equally well. Spiced tea, coffee and sweet breads tasted especially good in the cool morning air. The conversation was so annimated it was almost impossible to get your hostesses ear for a quick thank you for a lovely morning.
