PIM IE BLL. DD 4 63 4 3 oy a aes tape OTE ae <o -—— ” 1 0 The Nevada County Nugget Wednesday, October 1, 1969 (ow gs ao Ss. a & KReady BT @vw ss By Fay M. Dunbar 273-2934 4-Hers are not the only ones in Rough and Ready who get in on the fun at the District Fair. Mrs. Frances Moore entered some of her sheep. She won seven Blue Ribbons, four second and two third places. Don Moore (senior) entered four cows and won two Blue Ribbons, one second and one third place. Young Miss Dede Moore (4-Her) told me all about their awards very proudly, Oe Mrs. Glenda Prochaska has just returned from a family gettogether in Abbottsford, Canada, It was only a short visit because the uncle they went there to see is not too well. Glenda's cousins and aunts and uncles gathered from as far away as Florida. It was the largest group of her monther's family that had been able to get together in over 20 years. Glenda and her mother and some of the family visiting here had a marvelous trip north and everyone enjoyed the family visit. Abbotsford is just over the U. S. border near Seattle. A frightening part of their visit was the narcotics problem the Canadian government is fighting there. Her uncle told them that the Mounties had picked up 23 in one week, While Glenda didn't know the punishment in detail, she said they were dealing with them very firmly there. Saddest commentary about the situation is that, just as we blame the Problem on our neighbor, Mexico, so, they blame it on us for our lack of dealing with it— ey: ook ke Mr. and Mrs. Jack Bixler (not E.L. ‘Jack’ Bixler) former residents of the Mobile Homes Park have bought a lot on the Colorado River in Arizona and are buying a new mobile home, They plan to settle there permanently. Mr. Bixler's health requires a nice warm climate and Arizona ‘should certainly meet these specifications. a ok Scouting is not too big an activity in our immediate community, but those who are interested mostly belong to Troop 299 in nearby. Penn Valley. When the McCras recently moved to Rough and Ready, young Kim McCrea stayed with his old group Troop 4 in Grass Valley. There is a very interesting reason. Kim's father, Allan joined Troop 4 way back in 1934 and about 3 years ago when Kim completed Cub ranks he too joined Troop 4, Both Kim and his father have had the same Scoutmaster, Mr. Sam Partridge. Kim is a Star Scout now. He completed his Cub ranks in Pack 21 in Grass Valley. 2 ok Trustees of the Ready Springs School District will hold their regular meeting Wednesday, Oct, 1 at 8 p.m. at the school library.

Percentage for recall clarified A ruling by County Counsel Leo Todd has clarified the percentage of signatures required to force the current recall attempt against Supervisor Dean Lawrence to a vote of the people. Todd was asked for an opinion by County Clerk Theodore Kohler because the elections portion of the California Constitution uses different figures in different places. In one spot, it Says 12 per cent, in another 20 Per cent. Todd replied that the recall Petitions must contain signatures representing 20 per cent of the voters at the last election involving supervisorial district two, The reason for this is because counties. are political subdivisions of the state. The conStitution first states that signatures equal to 12 per cent are needed, but then requires 20per cent for "a state officer who is elected in any political subdivision: of the state,"
