The Nevada County Nugget November 27, 1968 hs oe ee: eee aS. Ae ee ee ee, ee ee . ee tins 6 Se EE ee, ME il CELIBATE SITE: OLD KENTUCKY HOME , t A town where people. never By GLADYS HARPER married has been restored at Shakertown, Kentucky, and ‘is § now.open to tourists. In the The Board of Directors of the Golden State Mobilehome Owners League Inc. held their quarterly meeting at the San Mareros Mobile Estates in San Mareos last weekend. There was a full agenda of business and an important matter I took care of was torecommend that my efficient and capable Alternate Director, Mr. Oliver Flory be appointed by the Board as a Regional Director, This was accomplished and Mr. Flory is now Director of Region #12 which takes in those counties from Fresno up to and including Sacramento County. My only regret in giving Sacramento County to Mr. Flory was losing my two largest chapters at Stonegate Mobile Park and Olympic Mobile Lodge. We also decided against owning our own newspaper after discussing the difficulties and pitfalls as well as the advantages. We will continue to have our news in Western Mobile Rt.1,Bx 573Grass Valley Ph, 273-8954 \ at Home news. Our most important decision at the meeting was the choosing of our new Legislative Advocate to represent our people in Sacramento, I feel we made a wise decision in the man we finally chose, of whom I will tell you more about later. We also decided against having a general manager to coordinate our group and drive for membership. It was of the general opinion that of each Director would keep his or her associated informed of all activities we will accomplish much more and save $15,000. I was also very happy to meet our new Director of Region #7, Mrs. Lucille Hawk. Two women, 13 men. ; The trip from Sacramento via airplane took from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. We made a very rough landing in San Diego because of the storm. Weather here at present very good. Tough fire hydrant standards proposed . Tougher standards for fire hydrants and water systems that feed them in new subdivisions may be adopted by Nevada county. The board of supervisors Tuesday studied regulations proposed by the Nevada County Fire Prevention Association, then ordered that they be put into formal legal language. After that is done, public hearings will. be held by the county planning commission which then will recommend final action to the board. The standards proposed are these: --Six inch water mains would be the minimum allowed. At present, there are many fourinch mains, which provide less than half the water volume of six-inch mains, fire officials said. --Mains would have to produce at least 500 gallons of flow per minute. Many now are inthe 300-gallon range, it was stated. --Hydrants could not be located more than 500 feet apart, something which again is not always the case in current development. --Hydrants could not be more than six feet from the road. A Bullion Fire Department official told of a hydrant at Alta Sierra which is down in a canyon, making it hard to reach and hard to find. --Hydrants would have to be frost proof. Fire officials and supervisors agreed on the need for this to assure that water will be available if a house catches fire. --Each hydrant would be required to have a gate valve between the water main and riser, This would allow revairs without shutting down the entire system. The supervisors questioned some points, but made no basic changes in the fire association's proposal, Supervisor Henry Loehr asked what would be done in cases where not enough water is available to provide 500 gallons of flow per minute. Public Works Director Harry Hider replied that this could be corrected by storage tanks. There was general agreement that some exceptions will have to be made. There are areas, it was noted, which.do not have enough flow because they don't have any Nevada Irrigation District supply and depend on wells, In such case's, the hydrants and lines may be required, but the flow requirement may be waived until it is feasible. There was a debate whether subdivisions using wells should be included in the requirements or excluded entirely. The majority felt the rules should apply to such cases, but that exceptions could be requested. six original buildings that have been faithfully restored. attendants dress in the costumes of the original Shakers to the delight of amateur photographers from all across the land. The religious cult was founded by a woman, Sister Ann Lee, in 1805. A peace-loving and gentle group, the Shakers believed in absolute celibacy—a_ rule
which they followed completely and which eventually led to their dissolution. Inherent in their revolutionary religion, was the Shakers’ ™* complete devotion to hard work and the conviction that they must create all the necessities of life with their own hands. When building, they quarried their own stone, baked their own bricks and sawed their own lumber. Completely self-sufficient, they also designed their own furniture, tanned their leather, wove their own silk and wool, and were pioneers in scientific farming, achieving unusually high standards of quality and efficiency for their time. Now their remarkable experiment has been _ restored with loving care together with all the modern conveniences required by the most demanding tourist. Overnight guests are accommodated in the old “Trustee’s House.” a boon to history-minded photographers because it maintains every detail of the original: decor. Inexpensive meals are served in the dining rooms of the main house where in keeping with the spirit of the original sect, no tipping is allowed. THE HUMAN FOOT -PROBLEMS AGGRAVATED BY AGE INGROWN TOENAILS MAY BECOME INFECTED CORNS SKIN AND NAILS MAY CRACK BECOME INFECTED BUNIONS, CALLOUSES MAY REQUIRE SURGERY CUTS OR BRUISES DANGEROUS TO DIABETICS SOURCE : THE KENDALL COMPANY HEALTH CARE Division In the miraculously-complex human body, the foot is the most intricate combination of bones, tendons, and muscles. In fact, the foot contains more than one-fourth of all of the bones in the body. “The human foot deserves much more care than it usually receives,” said a prominent medical researcher this week, “and this is especially true in the case of our growing older citizens.” William O. Elson, medical research director for the Kendall Company, makers of Blue-Jay foot products, pointed out: “Summertime puts extra strain on the feet of everyone; but the older person — and we. have about 20 million people over 65 — must be especially careful.” Four persons in every five have trouble with their feet, according to the scientist. They, and particularly all senior citizens, would be wise to observe these precautions: 1. Care should be taken that all shoes fit properly. Shoes which are too small, too tight, or which have heels that are too high are the cause of most foot troubles. 2. Feet should be kept clean and well treated with lanolin, glycerin, or baby oil if they tend to be very dry or chap. 3. Aerosol foot powders and deodorants, new to the market, such as Blue-Jay powder, will keep feet hygienic and comfortable. 4. Irritated spots can be eased with moleskin or foam ~ rubber pads. 5. Corns and callcuses should be removed. Effective home remedies are readily available; the kinds which contain phenylium are especially reliable. 6. Diabetics are advised to consult their doctor when any cut, bruise, or blister develops on the foot. 7. Inexpensive, but effective, arch-supports which.contain their own foam rubber insoles are now available in most drug stores and will ease pains caused by strained arches. ‘ 8. Should foot troubles persist, don’t delay a visit to your doctor.

He said the only way Miners would not conform is if more patient rooms were to be added to the present building. On another point, Davis said Sierra Memorial cost $500,000 to construct, not $200,000 as was reported in the story about the meeting. er The Most Famous Basket in the World * THIS IS A COMMUNITY Let us welcome you!
