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.

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.

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.
