The Nugget.May 31, 1967 Al “The ’Gabin, Cave & Camp Hippies are handy targets, They're unwanted, bearded, unwashed, suspect morally, suspect, philosophically, suspect as to their patriotism and perhaps suspect unconsciously because we fear they're doing some of the things we'd like to do and having some of the fun and irresponsibility we'd all like to enjoy. We castigate them at every. turn, They are accused of being dope fiends without any evidence, at least locally, of setting fires, of every unsolved theft, of perverting our youth, of contaminating our county, while the only real crimes they have committed to date are the crimes of being different, They stand guilty of wearing sandles, of being bearded, of effecting outlandish clothing, The men are guilty of wearing beads and “Gods Eyes", the Indian artifact that appears to be a popular symbol of hippie awarness, Their women are guilty of rejecting clean shaven, organized maleness by living communially in “pads”, a word that seems to be synonomous with something lewd. They have been tried and convicted of these and other crimes of nonconformity. Sentence passed by the morale, safe, know-nothing portion of the community ranges everywhere from calls to the sheriff*s office to "do something" to threats of “wait until deer season, We'll take care of them, There's lots of rattle snakes back in the Malakoff, " Hysterical threats and attitudes about the hippies that are current in Nevada County could be cured if the people that made them would take the trouble to go up to the cabin, the cave and the camp where the hippies are living and talk to them, but the hysterical mind is incapable of investigation, of learning, of conversation and above all of understanding. If those people did go to the hippies, these are a few of the things they would learn, The hippies camping on Grizzly Creek are not the operators, the dope takers and sex sensationalists that we hear of in San Francisco, They are rather serious young men and women, interested in oriental religious philosophies, people who read a lot, not necessarily artistic but people who have several common goals, It is not patronizing to say that they are searching. Searching should be a condition of life, not only for the young but for all men, They believe in love, not as sex alone, but as brotherhood. One of the great differences between this movement and that of Hemmingway's lost generationbohemianism, and the more recent beat movement is that of love. The lost generation talked of free love meaning sex, It also, as far as the expatriots in Paris were concerned, demanded artistic creativity and avant garde brilliance, The hippie movement has something that in the end may make it a real force, a strength that should not be ignored by socioligists, Hippies believe in love as brotherhood and they believe in creati= vity too but you don't have to be brilliant. The smart and the not so smart are welcome, The attractive and the not so attractive are welcome. In Hemmingway's time only the bright and the attractive were "in", A man had to aquire that license to participate; In hippie terms everyone has that license. No wonder they are attractive to children who are not wanted, appreciated and respected in their own worlds, On the other hand our Nevada County hippies are having their own problems, Love is a great catchword but it is hard to live by. There is friction in the ranks, and jealousy too, On a recent visit it was noted that the prettiest girls are living in the cabin where there are such mundane comforts as a bathroom and other conveniences, It will always be so with pretty girls, The hippies in the cave are in a sort of no-man's land, half-way between those in the cabin and those at the camp where rules have been laid down,.there will be no beer in camp and you have to sign up to check out a tool, Regimentation? One group calling itself the TUShas moved out to a higher elevation and separated itself from the others (See Letters to the editor), So, even for hippies, love is hard to achieve.
