E, Thomas, Supervisor, District 4, Nevada County, and are published for the purpose of informing those in the county and elsewhere of his views and approaches to various aspects of county government, Publication of these comments in this paper does not necessarily constitute endorsement of these views nor by this preface, disagreement, This column is strictly his own, and any comments may be addressed to Mr. Thomas, An active, interested and informed community is a healthy community! I believe this--so it follows that I take exception with those who suggest there is an advantage in keeping people in the dark (there may be if one is looking for personal gain). Hopeful, as a county, our progress and our problems might be topics for conversation throughout our community, Questions need to be raised and suggestions should be welcomed! An active exchange between people in government and the man on the street would be a good sign, And if we can hope for the best, there would forth an ever increasing group of active and capable people, willing to participate, At a Native Sons meeting this past Monday the main topic of conservation was "Apathy." The parlor was properly criticized by one of its most active and able members for not taking the time to search out and find new members--members who would oven a energy and become the life blood of this fine organiza Thus, .we see signs of a dreaded enemy--"Apathy."

They will ravage what is now healthy, Conditions will worsen to the point where the State of California (and watch that parenf) decides to take charge and they have that perogative. When this happens we lose local control and self determination over our local affairs, This, no one wants to see, But, it can happen and has in areas of welfare, property assessing and care of the medically indigent, to name just a few--not a pretty picture, Fortunately, there are positive signs, People will attend public meetings and react favorable toward them. There is obvious concern for such things as the narcotics problem. Committees are formed to study the community problems and jake recommendations, EDA, health care and zoning. Yes, these are truly good signs. Let's respond to the challenge, The qualifications are that you be interested and willing, Nevada County needs people from all walks of life, Nevada County needs you!
