2 The Nevada County Nugget Wednesday Oct. 18 By ELSIE DILLBERG The outbursts of rain that I spoke of last week descended upon this past week. I don't think we have to be doubtful about the onslaught of winter now, it surely has arrived early. Even the deer have moved out of the high country and are inhabiting the valley. We have seen a number of them grazing in the various pastures, they are really quite brave, considering the season. ** KK * Louie returned early last week from a five day trip to Los Angeles County. He took his mother, Ella Dillberg to the “ Doctor in Lancaster and while there, visited with his sister and brother-in-law, Norma and Stan Loza. He also got to see Harry ‘and Coleen Rawie, friends who we met this past summer and who are now Nevada County property owners. Harry was here deer hunting the last part of September but got rained out. Louie was amazed at how the countryside in the Los Angeles area has grown, like wall to wall. He was glad to be back to the peace of our valley. ** eK * Joyce Allen was hostess Tuesday evening for a Home Interior Show on Siesta Drive. Joann Bell, from Marysville demonstrated the home decorating items and ideas. Those who attended were Al Litchfield, Patti Feisel, Evelyn Elliott, Norma Bowen, Emma Gliko, Shirley Crom, Merry. ann Robinson, Carol Fool, Mary Dutra, Fay Hayward, Janet Winslow, Barbara Graham from the valley and Donna Ellis and Louise Mayo from Beale Air .

Dunbar 273-2934 % ———— pra With the returns from their "No Bake" Bake Sale last spring the women of the Rough and Ready Fire Protection District were able to complete the purchase of a Recussitator for their Fire Department. Fire Chief Al Moniz asked me just last Thursday to remind you all that the Recussitator is now in service. In the past few months our Firemen have all been fully trained in its use. Many women of the Auxiliary have also been trained to take over when Firemen are not available. Chief Moniz says while they always hope they won't be needed he wants you all to know they are fully prepared. Unfortunately they received their first call last week. They were needed to help with Mr. Phillip Parry. In our house we always have oxygen available but this is surely an added comfort. You canreachthem by calling your usual Fire Service number 273-4511. If you don't have a sticker on your telephone with this number contact your nearest Fireman. * KKK KK KOK K *K There was quite a large number of people from Rough and Ready at the Gas Light Dedication in Nevada City last Saturday evening. There were 11 ladies from Rough and Ready in the cast of the Gas Light Revue, and this could account for them. Most of us had friends and family there. There are five Rough and Ready ladies in the Newcomers Lyric Ensemble, Mrs. Helen Beatie is our Director and Mmes, Dunbar, Licht, Pelch, and Webb sing with the group. I always count seven Rough and Ready ladies. I still claim both Elaine Vogt and Buelah Shearer. Elaine has always considered herself Rough and Ready. Penn Valley would like to claim her. Mrs, Shearer actually does live in Penn Valley but she is still a neighbor and that makes her Rough and Ready to me. ° The Ensemble dressed in pioneer type costumes. They sang two patriotic numbers and added Surrey with the Fringe on Top and Wells Fargo Wagon to compliment the Gas Light Era. To add to this number four Shady Ladies from the cast of our Secession Day play Saga of the Rough and Ready Pioneers did their Kough and Ready version of the Can-Can, Jane Walter has led this group since the first year. Her girls were Joann Stevens, newcomer Sheila Bartley, and Kay Lawton. Kay does the "or bust" part of Rough and Ready or Bust. Producer of the Liberal Arts Commission production of Gas Light Revue was Mr. Gene Cozarth. Gene was so impressed with the enthusiasm of the little group that he worked them into a kind of skit throughout the Revue, I venture to guess there are quite a lot of aching muscles among those four today. Unfortunately Mrs. Glass was not available to work the Rainbow Girls into the cast also. We do have another group trying out for next weeks Revue. Better be there. * KKK KOK OK KK * I'm sure we all realize that visitors envy us our little bucolic celebrations. I suspect that these celebrations are one of the reasons we are all so happy to be living here. My sister-in-law, Mrs, Merle Garner of Baldwin Fark, has been visiting us. She attended the Trade Fair last Saturday and later we did the Pioneer Arts Show at the National, and she came to the Gas Light Revue to hear us sing. She said she hadn't had so much fun for many a year. She loved our artists, their work, and the Art Show. She belittles her own artistic abilities by calling herself just a rocking chair artist. We happen to think she is rather good. She has been helping me select the proper frame for the Sunflower Study that I told you about last week that Grace Jensen did for me. She took home several ideas for the ladies of her own Big City Bazaar as well as a few tokens of her visit from our Trade Fair. She insists she likes our rain. I expect her reaction to our weather, our fall scenery, and our fun is representative of what attracts many of the visitors to our area, After seeing the Revue she confessed she hadn't realized how much she missed the live performances of the arts and says she is going to set up a full schedule of them as soon as she gets home. Today we all just sat around drying out, enjoying being lazy, and watching the fire crackle on the hearth while the rain beat at the windows. This will be one of her best memories, she says, when she returns to hot dry So, California. : Kk£KEK EK KE KK * In spite of the rain and the competition of the Gas<Light Celebration in Nevada City the Grange Harvest Dinner went very well. Our Grange Ladies reputation for good cooking is all they need to draw a crowd. They served Beef Stew and what could taste better, on a rainy night like last Saturday was, than good old fashioned Stew. Today Mr. Charles Deardorf, State Grange Deputy for Nevada County, left for the State Grange Convention in Redding. The other representatives from Rough and Ready Grange will be Master Marguerite Abbott and Insurance Agent Ola Lee Hale who plans to attend for one day only, The Convention determines Grange policy for the coming year. It is also a teaching tool for new Officers and lots of fun, It started Monday night October 16 and will last through Friday October 20. Regular Grange meeting normally scheduled for Friday Oct. 20 has been postponed to Friday Cctober 27. It will start with Potluck Dinner at 6:30 p.m. ee KK KKK KK OK The Chamber of Commerce met last Thursday. They named their Nominating Committee for next years Officers and set up the date, 2nd Saturday in January, for installation. Nominating Committee will be Irene Lanzendorfer, Conne Baer, Allan Brown, and John Schuster. Fay Dunbar Chairman of the Blacksmith Shop Committee reported that Mr. Don Goodwin is making the Framing Drawing now requested by the County Building Permit Department. No further progress has been mire * KK KKK KK KK Winter on the Farm {s in full swing. Even tho’ the pastures are still green they don't grow fast enough to feed the livestock and the daily routine of irrigating has given place to the daily routine of twice daily feedings. My animals are so spoiled that they come down and ask for their meals, It gets embarrassingly noisy. I expect our neighbors with they were better mannered, If any of you genuine farmers have some solution to this problem I surely would like to know it. One nice thing about it is that it makes them exceptionally friendly and I love petting them. * OK KK KKK KK * Its nice to have the fire again. But it is distracting. Something about the crackling flame relaxes me and I just want te sit and sleep and dream. This dreqming business is why I have to get up at 5:00 a.m. to get my news out. Problem is it is putting back to sleep. Anyway news is scarce this week. Birthdays aren't too numerous but some‘are late again. You better mark them on your own calendar so you won't have to send belated cards next year. Mike Stewart and Danny Cullum are on the 20, Pat Litchfield Oct. 23, Brian Hatfield Oct. 25, Steven Steel 28, — os were Alan Mader Oct. 7, Clara Deardorf on Oct. 9, and Mary O'Neal and Jack Bixler cet, Le, * KOK OK ROK OK OK OK * ; Dr. Bert Spaite passed away this morning (Monday) at 5:30 a.m. Dr. Gale Spaite is with eer just now. My news must be released and it is too early to have more details for you is week,
