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,

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—

Mr. and Mrs. Jack Bixler

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.

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.

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,"
