le ae 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.

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.

Everyone is invited, Donation is 50 cents per person, Refreshments will be served.

Effie was born and raised within 10 miles of Rough and Ready. Before her illness she was very active in anything that concerned our community, She certainly is one of our "grand old ladies," Friends inform me that she would enjoy receiving birthday cards, eeEKEE Se Mrs, Marie Broadus has asked me to remind you to get your rummage ready for the Rough and Ready Fire Dept.

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."
