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

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.

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.

Miners conforms
to standards
Miners Hospital conforms to
state standards in its present
capacity, Al Davis reported today.
Davis, administrator of Sierra
Nevada Memorial Hospital,
clarified a point he made in a
speech to Grass Valley Lions
Thursday. 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.
