A LETTER FROM THE COUNTY CLERK

Dear Mr. Truscott:
tary of State in Sacramento, along with all other County
’ Clerks of the State, and at a banquet honoring Charles Hegarty, Assistant Secretary of State, I got into a conversation
with various County Clerks, and was pleasantly surprised to
find that the Nevada County Nugget was being mailed to the
various County Clerks free gratis.
_ I talked with were unanimous in their praise of your newspaper, and of the thoughtfulness and consideration in sending them complimentary copies of the newspaper:
Needless to say, it made me feel very proud that our local
people are willing to send out products of their own making
free of cost, to let the rest of California know whatNevada
County is and what Nevada County does.
May I offer to you my personal thanks for being so considerate to the County Clerks of the State of California.
Sincerely
JOHN T. TRAUNER,
County Clerk and Auditor, County of Nevada
GOOD THINGS FOR NEVADA COUNTY
This newspaper has been silently working for the betterment of Nevada County. We have often told you that we
would publish the facts as we know them to be, uncolorful,
fair, and with absolute impartiality.
For many months, we have known-of the developments
that have been planned for this county by a group of people
with only good for all in their hearts. People of great position, financially and otherwise. We have encouraged this
wealthy financial group to come to our county and to invest
their money.. They have done so. Elsewhere in this newspaper you will find the announcement of activity in the Wolf
Mountain area. ~We knew of this development long before it
was to happen. . It was through the encouragement of this
newspaper that the group responsible for bringing new
money to Nevada County finally decided to do so. This group
is headed by S. C. Haubtman, of Grass Valley.
We welcome them and hope they will continue to see the
advantages offered by opportunities lying dormant in Nevada
Gounty. We take pride in knowing that we have, in a measure, contributed toward the advancement of our county in
the families of counties that make our state great.
NATIONAL NEWSPAPER WEEK
During 51 weeks of each year newspapers devote space
to plugging “wecéks” of various kinds—safety week,, thrift
week, be kind to animals week, and so forth: They are glad
to do it because all of these “weeks” have a worthy purpose
and remind us of things we ought to know or do.
But next week (October 15 to 21), newspapers are going to plug a week of their own, “National Newspaper Week,”
tv remind people not only that newspapers serve a worthy
-spurpose but that they are incomparably important to the
““survival of the Nation as we know it.
The theme of this year’s observance willbe’ Your Newspaper—Freedom’s Textbook.” As you readyour daily or
weekly newspaper, let your mind dwell on what life would
be without it. How would you find out what was going on
or what “s‘pecials’’ thestores were featuring this week?
Let your mind dwell, too, on where wewould all be if
your newspaper and its counterparts all over the Nation were
not continually battling to keep open doors which government at all levels try to slam in the people’s faces. For government likes nothing better than to function in secrecy,
here as in other countries. . ee
The founding fathers of the republic wrote a specific
guarantee of freedom for the press In the Constitution of
the United States. It is the only group in the Nation which
enjoys his guarantee. Recall this during National News‘paper Week as you read ““Your Newspaper — Freedom’s
Textbook.”
The Real Issue in The Steel Strike
Amud the welter of claims and counter-claims by management and unions involved in the nationwide steel strike,
one disturbing fact is emerging of far greater importance
than the bare bones of the immediate issues: the great
American steel industry is in imminent danger of pricing
_itgself out of the markets of the world.
_ The Iron and Steel Division of the U. S. Department of
Commerce reports that steel imports last year were twice as
great as steel exports. Techniques of mass production no
fonger are uniquely known to American manufacturers, and
_ the quality of foreign steel now is comparable to our own.
_ ™. Average wages of steelworkers before the strike, acaccording to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, was $3.10
hour, 87 cents higher than the average for all manufacx workers, and $1.90 per hour more than at the close
‘orld War II. Without a corresponding ‘increase in proivity, ,can steel industry wages be hiked still further
without inflating steel prices beyond the danger point?
A “successful” steel strike that resulted in'mass unemment in the American steel industry could be a disaster
ust for steelworkers but the whole American sconomy.

I recently was summoned to a meeting with the SecreThe County Clerks that

Thirty years ago health insurance in America-was just making
its debut in a tentative, experimental way. Today, 124 million
Americans are enrolled in health
insurance plans-54 million in the
Blue Cross affiliated systems,
and 70 million in private insurance company plans.
Currently, a major switch in
the basic health insurance idea
is taking place. The original
philosophy was based on “first
dollar coverage”, providing for
payment of small hospital and
medical costs within limits. Today, major medical or catastrophic coverage is finding greater
favor. y
In recent. years, most companies have had to make stiff premium boosts in their policies, to
cover both the higher cost of
quency of hospital visits for minor needs. Also, many of the older plans tend to force pedple into
a hospital, by -providing that
specified services are not reimbursable unless performed in a
hospital. ‘
Small claims for minor illnesses are just as costly to procéss “as larger claims, ‘in some
inStances~ costing more *than the
claim itself.
For these reasons, many plans
have lost money. In a recent survey on the subject, the Wall
Street Journal reports that the
Nation’s Blue Cross plans paid
out $1.4billion in benefits last
year, which was $40 million over
and above premiums received.
The major medical plans adopt
a radically different approach.
They eliminate the high aggregate
cost and detail of minor medical
expenses, which most people can
take in their stride, and offer
greater coverage for major illnesses. Their features are:
(1) Large maximum benefits,
ranging as high as $15,000.
(2) A deductible amount, which
the individual must pay before
reimbursement ‘is due’ for costs
incurred above the deductible. It
is this feature that wipes out the
$5 and $10 claims. Some*policies
have deductibles as low as $50,
with others as high as $300 or
$500. The higher the deductible
the more truly “catastrophic” is
the policy.
(3) A co-insurance feature. This
means that the insured must pay
a percentage, usually 20 per cent
or 25. per cent, of the covered
costs himself.:
Several companies, experimenting’ with comprehensive plans
several years ago, had disastrous
experiences because the high
miximum coverages encouraged
people to stay on in hospitals for
periods longer than necessary.
The co-insurance feature has
licked this defect by giving the
insured an incentive to hold down
costs.
Major medical insurance is today the fastest growing type of
health insurance, despite opposition from some labor unions, who
claim it discourages prompt use
of medical facilities for minor illnesses which may develop into
serious ones. ‘

In the heat of debate over Governor Brown’s tax program during the legislative session earlier
this year, opponents and proponents alike cited previous fiscal
performance. and estimates to
justify their respective positions,
Opponents of increased state levies argued that fiscal responsibility demanded assurance of sufficient income to conduct the
busineses of government.
. ..Both sides were guessing at the
time, of course, because there was
no accurate way to forecast the
future. Now, however, the first
indicia of what is really happening to the California economy are
available in official reports of
state agencies showing earnings
and employment at an all-time
medical care and the higher fre. high
The earnings raté in April, May
and June was half @ billion dollars higher thaté’thé first three
months of 1959 ahd more than
the second quarter of last year.
Mid-August employment in the
state reached a record total of
more than 5% million.
So far, at Teast, those who had
fornia’s dynamically increasing
economy seem to be winning the
argument. The higher tax advocates won in the Legislature
though, which is all that counts
as far as the taxpayers are toncerned. If the last two quarters of
the year follow the trend of the
first two, can taxpayers expect on
optimistic repeal next year of the
taxes’ that were pessimistically
onaghee this year?

Love Too
A boy’s best friend may be
his mother, but according to
American’ Home Magazine, his
best investment is his wife, .
average wife is worth more than
most husbands could possibly afford. She puts in a long work
week—80 to 100 hours—and must
be adept in at least 21 trades. Her
job classifications include cook,
dishwasher, dietician, baker, waitress, nurse, babysitter, governess,
chambermaid, purchasing agent,
veterinarian, laundress, home
economist, dressmaker, handyer, seeretary, recreation worker,
gardener, chauffeur, and psychologist.
Worked out on the basis of
average.hourly pay rates for these
«lassifications, ranging from 60c
for babysitting to $4.30 for veter-.
inarian service, our researcher arrives at a total worth of $193.95
a week, or $10,000 a year.
Wives have another job, too,
which the researchers didn’t place
a value on—that of being helpmeet and companion to her lucky
husband. In private industry, a
workman’s ‘second job is called
moonlighting — an appropriate
enough job classification in the
home, too.
Obviously, today’s husband has
a better investment in his one
little woman than any Oriental
potentate ever had in his harem.
