10. tne. Nevada County Nugget... October 25, 1967
Mews
By Fay M. Dunbar 273-2934
I have iust returned from the California State Grange Convention in Riverside and was I glad to get home, It was so hot
there you could hardly breathe and when you did you choked with
the smog. The mountains (when at rare moments you could see
them) were brown and bare. The city of Riverside has almost
six times as many people as live in all of Nevada County. And
people are so thick you can hardly tell where the city ends and
the county begins, Many of us enjoyed the tours through the "Mission Inn" Riverside's chief claim to history.
Eleven members of Rough and Ready Grange, Mr. and Mrs,
Russell Abbott, Mr. and Mrs, Charles Deardorf, Mr, and Mrs,
Gunnar Williams and Mrs, Fay Dunbar, Mrs, Hazel Schull, Mrs,
Olyve Simmons, Mrs, Mary Ellen Wallace, and Earle Harper
attended the convention, We were all impressed with the part
the Grange hopes to play in building a "Better America," Much
emphasis was placed on the strength gained through education.
Our Grange won the Lecturers' Performance Award for granges
with under 100 membership.
Mrs, Olyve Simmons, costumed in the period of the 1880s,
read "A Portrait of Oliver Hudson Kelley as Seen by His Wife"
for the State Grange Talent Contest, Mrs, Hazel Schull took the
State Grange Obligation of the Sixth Degree. Besides attending
all of the lecturers conferences and many of the general sessions
I enjoyed brief visits with aunts, cousins, brothers, sisters, nieces
and nephews and their families,
Regular Grange meeting will be Friday night Oct. 27 at the,
hall, Pot Luck will be at 6:30 p.m. Lecturers’ program will be
an arm chair visit to Alaska conducted by Mr. and Mrs, Don Long
of Rough and Ready. There will be a public party Saturday night
Oct, 28 at 8:00 p.m. at the hall.

The Rough and Ready Chamber of Commerce has revived
a 20-year-old tradition, Last week it held the first of its regular
monthly card parties. Some 20 years ago regular card parties
were held at the old hall, The project was spearheaded by Mrs.
Effie Howe and Mrs. Mable McCrea, The objective was a dance
floor for the old building. Most of you have seen the beautiful job
they did, ‘
No specific project has been determined as yet for these
new parties but money earned will be used on some community
improvement, Mrs, Doris Bradley is chairman and at present
her objective is for everyone to have a good time. She and her
committee for the evening; Mr. and Mrs, Don Long,:Mrs, Lisetta
Scheave and Mrs, Marguerite Spaite, certainly accomplished that
last week, They payed whist and pinochle, The grand prize was
a ham won by Mrs, Laura Foster of Nevada City.
Next party will be Monday Nov. 20 at 8:00 p.m. Games available will be whist, pinochle, bridge and canasta. The grand prize
will be a turkey. Everyone is invited, Donation is 50 cents per
person, Refreshments will be served.

Nevada City
Artist Holds
Exhibit
Nevada City artist Richard
Hackett is currently holding a
"retrospective exhibition" of his
work at the Crocker Art :Gallery in Sacramento. The exhibition opened Oct, 15 and continues through Nov. 12, Hackett
is showing 122 paintings,
Hackett, who has been a Nevada City resident since 1949,
was born in New York and moved
west at an early age. He is a
graduate of the California School
of Fine Arts in San Francisco.
He was gallery supervisor for the
San Francisco Museum of art
from 1942 to 1945,
The artist who has also worked
for the U.S. Government Survey
and Forest Service, was represented in the Santa BarbaraFirst
Biennial Exhibition juried by Rufino Tamyo, He has exhibited
work in competitive exhibitions in
‘the Bay Area and Northern California, receiving the top award
in California State Fair exhibition and various California annuals,
Besides being a juror for
Northern California art exhibitions he has held one-man shows in
Nevada City, Redding, Chico, Sausalito and Medford, Ore.
Darrell Forney, reviewing the
exhibit says, "That life and art
are really one inseparable thing
is what Richard Hackett's. 30year retrospective exhibition is
all about, What comes out of
one's-commitment to art is nothing more, nothing less than the
constant stimulus and motivation
that piques the mind and prods
the hand that picks up the prush
that paints the picture.
"And if we can agree that
all art is action based upon
sensory reaction, we have some
indication of the vast and complex fertile fields from which visual images can be harvested-and no less so than by one dedicated painter."
