. Fd a oe — ‘2 .The Nugget. . .November 30," "1966 EvABA COUNTY NUGGET 5 meen Much _ Interest In. Nevada County ‘There are Many people interested in Nevada City. The news of our fine community gets around to far places and to prove the point that folks from all over the country are looking long“ingly we askéd Violet Howard of the Nevada City Chamber of Commerce if she got many letters seeking word about Nevada City. She took a quick check and came upwith this report of inquiry mail received during the year ending September 15, 1966: 73 prospective residents, 59 of whom expressed a desire to invest money either in property or business enterprise! 82 requests were received for information about the County of Nevada during the first two months! 45 requests were received for Nevada City maps in quanities of 50 or more! 153 requests received for travel and annual events information! All these requests add up to a lot of people interested in coming our way. Many of them will like our City and our County and move here. It's the usual thing you know, The Buyers Protest As could have been predicted, the steady march of inflation, as a result of government spending and fiscal policies, has aroused the wrath of housewives across the country. And, as also could have been predicted with reasonable certainty, they have turned their wrath against the nation's retailers, who have no alternative but to n2ss along the consquences of inflation in the form of higher prices to consumers. About all that can be said of the situation now is that it is time for level heads and clear thinking. Wearing out shoe leather picketing the local retailers will do no good in the long run. Nor will it do any good to clamp restrictions on the free market, mass-production, mass-distrubtion system that has brought this country the highest living standards ever known. The retail stores which are suffering the ire of the housewives are products of merchandising philosophy developed by chain stores many years ago. That philosophy is simple. It rests ona proven principle which has made massdistribution possible--the moving of a hirh volume of goods atminimum prices. Restrictive laws that inhibit the flow of goods in a competitive free market will disrupt this system as surely as night follows day. There is no more certain way of insuring both fair prices and an abundance of goods of all kinds, from clothing to food to the hundreds of luxury items that we all enjoy, thanto let the distribution system continue to work as it has in the past within the constraining framework of competition and the natural laws of supply and demand. Blaming the retailer for price increases that result from inflationary government spending is both futile and foolish. * * * * Vietnam Veteran talks to V.F.W. Banner Mountain Post 2655 Veterans of Foreign Wars got the jump on Thanksgiving by holding it's annual Past Commander's dinner Monday evening Nov. 2l1st., at the V.F.W.

Clark, Editor of the Nugget and Captain Lee Smart, Local Army officer just returned from '¢ Viet Nam. Captain Smart, gavea factual account of the een eey § Pemipiayayn 2s Famed MINERS FOUNDRY, fighting now goingen in that Far Eastern Country. He pointed out very vividly to the veterans of our country's wars, the new style of warfare now facing our men. There is no accepted front line. The enemy is at your side they are back of you and many times right dmong your own troops, he said. Our American troops have learned their lesson fast and well and as of now the Viet Cong is in serious trouble. He is losing men very fast and if the current trend keeps up, he must soon be staggering under our pressure blows. Smart was introduced by Colonel Clark, who is a veteran of World War 1, World War 11 and the Korean Action. The difference in types of warfare during the four recent conflicts provided the group witha rare opportunity of discussing developments. Our next war can wellbe that style which has been predicted
most in recent years; PUSH BUTTON! Clark said. Captain Smart is married and lives with his family in Grass Valley. He will soon take over the post of Assistant Instructor inMilitary Science and Tactics at Cal Poly at San Luis Obispo. He is the son of Mr. and,Mrs » Mat. Smart of Nevada City. The program was arranged by Clinton Lee, Adjutant for the Post.

I will leave the conclusion to you readers. .On Monday last week a well-dressed brush salesman appeared atmyfrontdoor, and before I could say "No, thank you" to him, he began handing an illustrated advertising brochure and free samples to me. He used no high pressure and was very polite. But I noticed that he had sad, friendly eyes, and was not wearing a raincoat, even though rain was pattering down. Ifthe sad eyes and absence of a raincoat were a gimmick, I nearly fell for it, and invited this pcor gentleman inside for a hot cup of coffee. * * * * According to Delton Pharis, principal of Ready Springs School, the little former annex building on highway 20 frontage is no longer part of the school property. It served this school for a period of one (1) year and then was released from ownership at the end of their school term June 1966. Mr. Pharis said, unofficially, that he believes this building is now in the process of being converted into a snack bar by a local private party. Ifthis is the case, it looks as though Joe Gatti would havea certain degree of competition, and practically 333.

The foundry made the first Pelton Wheel as shown in the center of this picture. at his doorstep. He operates the Penn Valley Grocery. Incidentally, Delton Pharis has six (6) children, andhasa hobby (in his spare time?) of writing in rather technicalterms, with the empvhsis being upon ‘clear and concise communication. * * * * To mention only a few Penn Valley families who "migrated" out of town are these three: The Wilcox, Kari, and Hauser families decided to spend all or part of the Thanksgiving holidays visiting friends or relatives and eating turkey dinners and other "goodies" elsewhere. The John Karis' traveled down to a ranch near Santa Barbara. Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Wilcox wentto Los Angeles. En route, their car had a flat tire but in a very convenient place-next to a service station and restaurant near Merced. * kK KX NEVADA CITY Max Min R Nov. 23 45 26 24 47: 24 20 Sel bo 25 26 47 25 27 #49 = 29 28 56 29 .40 ao. 385 44. 2-36 Rain fall to date 16.03 Rainfall last year 13.67 GRASS VALLEY Nov. 23 52 28 24 55 £22 freeze 7A: eke . amy g 26 56 28 ar 66: ‘31 aos.
