Wed., Oct. 24,1973 The Nevada County Nugget 3 — Rough and Ready News Receives commission By Fay Dunbar “A dime goes a long way these days. You can carry one for weeks before you find something it will buy.” —R&R— Now that the cold season is with us again heed the latest advice of Science News (7-28-73) and don’t shake hands with your newly made acquaintances. Give them a big kiss instead! Recent tests have indicated that four out of eleven persons get colds from contaminated fingers compared to two out.of twenty-five who contracted them thru oral sources. Discretion, however, is always the better part of valor. —R&R— Rough and Ready has some new residents on Burkard Lane. With all our lovely Gold Country names everywhere else this name always reminds me how much more interesting Rifflebox Lane would have been. These new neighbors, from somewhere in the southland, must be extremely nice: Three people of the community called to tell me about. them. They seem to. be anxious to participate in all our community activities.-They are Mr. and Mrs. Robert (Mary) Wilson and their two sons. Fifteen year old Jan is a Sophomore at NUHS and thirteen year old Mark is in the 8th grade at Ready Springs. The boys are planning some kind of livestock project for the near future. —R&R— Long time neighbors on Burkard (Rifflebox) Lane are the Lloyd Waxs. They will probably be on their annual winter trip to warm sunny Mexico by the time you read this. They are both dedicated gardners and love our summers but. always leave us when winter comes. This fall they have a special phenomenon in their garden. It’s a lilac tree bursting with bloom. We have a pink wygelia, in a warm corner, which sometimes sends us a few tiny blooms in the fall if we have an early rain. Our early rain this year may have triggered this unusual activity with the lilac tree. In any case it should have been an inducement for the Waxs to stay home this winter. They spend their Mexican vacation near the village of Navajoa in the state of Sonora. This year Irene Wax is taking along some yarns and other needlecraft materials. She says there is lots of poverty around Navajoa. Her plan is to help some of the young girls there get a start with handwork for which they may earn a few centavos. Mrs. Wax does not speak Spanish. Her daughter, Mrs. John (Lolamae) Tinsley says she would like to be there and see how. her mother is going to manage to teach knitting, etc. just by showing. Lloyd Wax does speak enough of the language to get them about the country. —R&R— One of the tourists visiting our area last week was not only a fall color enthusiast but also a bit of an antique buff. While visiting up Downieville way she spotted an interesting little Antique Shop. So she thought. There were some real treasures in the windows. Her accommodating husband finally found a spot to park. Mrs. H (she will know but I musn’t embarass her) hurried back and burst into the Shop all glowing with enthusiasm. She was just beginning to browse when the startled lady of the house came out of her kitchen to see what was going on. They both screamed and retreated. Mrs. H. was the one with the very red face. Next time she goes searching for antique treasures she will locate a sign, even if it is one of our new type that are so often neatly and unobtrusively hidden away in unlikely spots, before she opens a strange door. Mrs. H. is from Los Angeles. She was a guest in our community. Her brother told me the story, still shaking with laughter. —R&R— It was an interesting experience last Sunday helping conduct a group of history conscious students, both young and old, through some of Grass Valley’s historic spots. We selected a few nf tha ''Thinadea tn ann in Onnan Unilae?? that could be covered in one brief afternoon. Even then, Mrs. Foley merely told of the Lyman Gilmore Flying Field as we toured along. There simply was not time enough to cover all I had selected. Hopefully one of the students will elect Gilmore for a paper. He was really an outstanding contributor to early aviation. I’m sure I learned as much as the students did. Mrs. Doris Foley, Mrs. Florence Hosbien, Mrs. Arletta Douglas and Mr. Elmer Stevens were Tour Speakers. Dr. Turretine Jackson of UC Davis was the Group ' Instructor. The Cornish Pasty coffee break we planned delighted them. Dr. Jackson wants Saffron Cake next time. —R&R— Speaking of National Dishes. We’ve solved the Streussel versus Strudel mystery. Struessel is the topping for your Kuchen (Coffee Cake) as was suggested. It is aGerman food. Strudel is an Austrian delicacy. I think we Americans would eat either Struesselkuchen or Apfelstrudel with much the same gusto. I still think Apple Dowdy is best. It’s certainly not so rich but it’s sosimple and delicious. There is really only two _ differences in the two foods. Number one; Struesselkuchen is Coffee Cake with a sugar, spice and nut topping (it could be fruit). Apfelstrudel is Coffee Cake with an apple, sugar and spice topping (it could be cheese). The second difference is with the Strudel. It is rolled before baking. I have an Apfelstrudel recipe from the ‘‘Palace of the President” of Austria. STEPHEN J. BENNETTE received his commission as a U.S. Navy officer following completion of the course at the Naval Aviation School Command. at Perssacola, Florida. Ensign Bennette graduated from Nevvada Union High School in 1969, from Sierra. College in 1971 and San Francisco State University in June. He is the son of Robert and Barbara Bennette of Nevada City. While at NUHS and Sierra Bennette was involved with many sports, principally wrestling. Capt. R. E. Loux (left) presents his commission as an ensign . to Bennette. The Struesselkuchen recipe was supplied by‘ Frau F. Von Prittwitz und Gaffron, wife of the .ex-Ambassador from Germany. Both recipes sound quite simple in spite of their high sounding background. If you would like either of them let me know and we can include them next time. —R&R— 2 Don’t forget the Grange Public Party at the Hall October 27 at 8:00 p.m. It’s going to be a busy night. The Ready Springs Halloween Carnival is also scheduled for October 27 from 5 to 9:00 p.m. Some of the Fire Aux. Ladies are sponsoring a neighborhood get together at the Firehouse that same Saturday, October 27. It’s set for 8:00. Everyone in the District is welcome. Bring your Own snacks and beverage. Sandwiches and coffee will be served. Wear something ‘‘wild, weird, or way out’’, at least something —is the suggestion of the Committee. —R&R— : November is with us. Electiong on November 6 and a new round of regular activities. The County Historical Society meets in Nevada City at the Veterans Hall at 8:00 p.m. on Thursday November 1.

Should make quite a difference in your premiums. Your Agent or your Company won’t change this unless you really pin them down about it. They can reassess your premium even between renewal dates. If you have a 3 year policy this can prove to be quite a saving. —R&R— One more ‘embarrasing moment’ from last week. A member of our community purchased a pair of shoes from a Trade Fair merchant. When they got home they found two shoes for the same foot. Haven’t heard how the exchange is coming along. It’s at least worth one, Ha! She would laugh with us but I won’t embarrass her by name. 125 students in the high school continuation program. Over 300 students have graduated from Empire since it opened six years ago in the old Grass Valley .High School. Slattery praised the students who are taking this opportunity to receive a high school diploma after they were forced to leave school for various reasons. About 65 students are expected to graduate this year. Courses at Empire are designed to let each student advance at his own rate and many studying there are over 18 . years of age, have children or” © are veterans. Slattery said that there are very few rules at Empire but that discipline is more strict than at a normal high school. ‘We tell the student this is no democracy; it is an absolute dictatorship,” he said, ‘‘We are getting results because the students must want to be thére.”’ Several Lions had visited the school and were pleased with dessert.
