ysday, October 11, 1961, The Nevada County Nugget Oe ee enim rte ee Conversation ..Dr. W. H. Lotz recently stopped by for a few words, and the conversation led him to forward a few clippings ..Toquote a@ paragraph from one of them: "A master plan adopted 14 years ago to guide (the) orderly development (of Oakland's civic center) is outdated, ineffectual and nc answer tothe problems of the area, city officials say.".. Dr. Lotz comments: How far should planning go? How much ultimately becomes waste? How much is constructive? Not being sure whether Dr . Lotz expected an answer, we'll offer one anyway. Planning should go as far ahead as it can foresee the future with any reasonable assurance ofaccuracy, ‘It depends upon how accurate the planners judge the future WHY .

AND FROM BERLIN, ... Continuing with our parade of clippings..This one from Stars and Stripes sent in by Mrs. Rowena Leroy, 110 Boulder Street, Nevada City.. She received it from her nephew who formerly lived in NC, SP/4 Robert Betts, APO NY..By James M, Halbe, S&S staff writer: Itcould be St. Louis, Milwaukee or any other big city. in America on a summez's night. Downtown the crowds are out, promenading, and the beer gardens are filled with people, singing and laughter. But it isn't America, it’s Berlin. And for West Berliners the city's best entertainment on a summer's night is to watch America's show of force at the stone walls the Communists have thrown up tc imprison their people in East Berlin, At the sector border, the West Berliners gather and watch, the way people would anywhere when soldiers in battle gear and military vehicles are suddenly cast incongruously into a neighborhood. .YOU SHOULD START rw NANCING ON YOUR LOT some years ayo. It was forecast that in the past ten years the school population would triple..

The crowd laughs and applauds, The car backs up, then pulls out of the way, and the tank roars off down Kochstrasse. Another tank, driven by Sp5 Sherrill Allen of Liberty, Ky., follows close behind, Then comes another jeep equipped with a 106-mm recoilless rifle, and then a third and fourth jeep trailing behind. The crowd seems to break up. A dozen boys race for their bicycles and motorcycles and soon there is a parade chasing down Kochstrasse after the convoy. At Margratenstrasse, the tanks turn left and pull up to the stone wall which marks the sector border. The tank Allen is driving has a searchlight attached to its rifle. 1st Lt John Eliot of Mansfield, Ohio, also of CoF, 40th Armor, orders it turned on. The tank commander, Sgt Jimmy Goforth of Cincinnati, barks an order. Inside, the gunner, Pfc Jesse Stout flicks a switch. In a second the area is floodedwith a 1 1/2 millioncandlepower glare. The first jeep arrives and whips between the two tanks stopping 10 feet from the wall. The driver, Pfc Ronald Stephens of Long Beach, Calif. and of Hq Co, 2nd Battle Group, 6th Inf, turns to a pile of phonograph records, picks one, and puts it on a turntable, From two loudspeakers on the front of the jeep comes the hillbilly voice of Johnny Burnette singing "Big, Big World." The West Berliners cheer. Then comes Johnny Wallace singing "Life's a Holiday” and Brenda Lee with “You Gan Depend on Me, " The People’s Police cringe, then turn their backs and talk among themselves. Then they face the jeering, light, stand motionless, Lights Out After the “serenade” has gone on for perhaps 10 minutes, the task force commander, lst Lt Robert A, Kvederas of Brooklyn, and of Co B, 2nd Battle Gp, 6th Inf, orders the music stopped and the light turned off, One by one, the tanks turn around and head for the next stone wall barrier, escorted by two dozen bicycling youths, young couples riding motorcycles and motor scooters tandem, and the jeeps. This “light and sound" spectacle has been going on nightly in West Berlin. It is a heckling technique the west has learned fromthe Communists. It is as effective as anything could be against anyone who does not particularly enjoy basking in floodlights to the tune of unasked-for music played at 100 times normal volume over an extremely low-fidelity sound system. Inasense, itis alsoreassuring. It reassures the Communists that the United States isn't kidding. It reassures the West Berliners of the same thing. And it gives the American troops in Berlin a chance to hit the Communists with the same thing the West Berliners have been hit with in the past. There is one rather terrifying difference between the free side and the other side of the stone wall. Except for the People's Police on the Soviet side of the border, there are no people. Applegate Work On US 40 Begins APPLEGATE,,, A survey party last week commenced w orking along US 40 in Placer County between Bowman and Applegate, according to an announcement from State Division
