and interest to carry out a
county promotional program,
Sawyer said.
Twoother forms of county
chambers exist. One with a
strong county organization
and with a paid manager to
handle promotional affairs
for the county, the other
making use of the managerial
ability of a strong chamber
within the county.
Sawyer suggested that an
organizational group should
study which format best fits
the need of Nevada County
prior to drawing up by-laws
and prior to incorporation.
He said a county chamber
should not replace local
chambers. They continue to
work on the type of things
they now do, he said.

Success
By Dean Thompson
GRASS VALLEY---A standing tribute to the U.S, Marine Corps Band as it played
"The Marines’ Hymn” to
close its evening concert in
Grass Valley Saturday expressedthe appreciation of a
standing room only audience
for the precision playing of a
varied program.
Anoverture, “In Bohemia"
(Hadley), was one of the
musical highlights of the
evening,
But the cornet ensemble
drew special intermission
praise from the audience for
its "Bolero" (Smith) and
"Bugler's Holiday" ( Anderson).
Feature of the final half of
the performance, however,
was the baritone solo "Prologue from Pagliacci" (Leoncavallo) by William Jones,
who also acted as concert
moderator. Jones" speaking
and singing voice added
greatly to the enjoyment of
the concert.
Sponsored by the Nevada
County 4-H Councilto benefit the group's International
Farm Youth Exchange program, the evening and matinee performances were both
a huge success,
ra
orkmen, last
week put the finishing touches on the Nevada City Elks lodge hall. The building

Then, Saturday, at a district briefing with Assemblyman Paul Lunardi, the Nevada Irrigation District indicated its board likely will ask
for more than the $300,000
maximum under the act for
both Rollins andJackson

District Manager Edwin
Koster refused to estimate the
total that would be necessary
to complete construction of
recreational facilities at
thesetwo sites, but he did
Say that a grant of between
$2 million and $2.5 million
would not be unreasonable.
It it expected that feasibility reports will show the
district recreational deyelopment needs somewhere under
the $2 million figure.
Lunardi agreed to carry
legislation through the 1963
legislature to enablethe districtto obtain more than the
$1.2 million presently sought
by the district in the form of
four $300,000 grants.
The legislator urged the
district to obtain-immediate
