That was where Frank Miller of Olive Bridge, New York shone. Frank delivers fire engines from the factory and gives training classes in the operation of them for firemen. As he was driving across country in the truck many people were curious about the name of the department, The Chicago Park on the door, in combination with the Dlinois license plates, made people ask why the truck was so far west.

"The Nevada County Community Workshop has been providing work training and job opportunities for retarded and handicapped persons in the county since 1966," Chappie said, "but unfortunately many people living in the area know little or nothing about the important work being done at the shop. I am hopeful this fund drive will not only provide the, workshop with badly. needed funds, but will provide the community with new insight into the important. work being accomplished -by this organization." "Since its start," Teale said "the staff of the workshop has worked, with State, Federal and County governments in an effort \y to improve the rehabilitation pctential at the shop and all of these agencies have high praise for the workshop, But to make this shop really go and expand the potential to help others it will be the local people, not the government, who will mean the difference. The Nevada County Community Workshop has made a number of unique successes in helping the retarded and handicapped of this area attain meaningful lives, but these efforts cannot continue without the financial support of the community the workshop serves, I hope the people of Nevada county realize the value of the workshop to the community and will get behind the current fund drive." The local legislators have both authored bills dealing with the rehabiliitation training and education of retarded and handicapped persons and have supported the concept of the Community Workshop since it was started by the Nevada County Council for Retarded Cialdren in 1966. They pointed out that the current fund drive to raise $30,000 will allow. the workshop to purchase the building in which it is presently housed at. the former Idaho-Maryland Mine site, will provide badly needed working capital and will permit the staff to expand the training-and rehabilitation opportunities at the facility. "The continued success of the Nevada County Community Workshop," they said, "will hinge largely on the success of this. fund drive ‘and we urge the members of the community to contribute to this important local effort." The fund raising effort will be kicked off on November 8th and will continue to the end of the month, . ography, ARTIST'S RENDERING depicts exclusive beach club and boat launching ramp at Donner Lake, part of the extensive recreational facilities planned in the $24 million Tahoe Donner mountain resort community now under development two miles-from Donner Lake and 16 miles north of Lake Tahoe.

However, when all of cropland and rangeland is counted up, the tota? amounts to about 37 million acres, No state has the extremes in topweather conditions, soils, and, available water as that which exists in California, It is becoming increasingly more difficult for agricultural producers in California to operate and earn a decent return on their investment. High costs of production, increased taxes, inadequate returns for the commodities they produce, are some of the major problems facing California agriculture today. * Ww a>
