under Act of Congress of 10023. Subscription: Yearly $3.00; Six Months $1.75 Advertising Rates on Request Adjudicated November 6, 1951, in Nevada A LETTER FROM THE COUNTY CLERK -Mr. John D. ‘Truscott, Publisher Nevada County Nugget, Nevada City, California. 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.

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. ‘ G.

Members are requested to attend. vi Opti vs. 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? ‘High Cost Of poignant significai f the Engle-Kuchel induced death of President Eisenhower’s tax-saving proposal for a governmentprivate industry partnership in the development of Trinity River Project power, taxpayers may as well tote up al} the bad news. Multiple millions of dollars were lost by local, state and federal governments because of congressional insistence that Trinity be added to the growing domain of public power. Those millions must be added to the total bill that public power already has presented to the American taxpayer—5 billion, 500 million hard-earned dollars.

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. Nevada City Man To Return To San Diego James L.
