OFF LOWER GRASS VALLEY ROAD, NEVADA CITY 8 The, Nevada County Nugget Wednesday, September 17, 1969 Help you , aa Safety Patrol c@ WINNER, POSTER CONTEST TRAFFIC SAFETY School safety patrols help reduce accidents Since 1922 when the School Safety Patrols began their job of protecting children at street crossings, the traffic death rate of school-age chilfren in the United States has decreased nearly one-half, while the death rate for all other age groups has more than doubled. This year the more than 900,000 boys and girls of the Patrol are on duty at crossings near more than 40,000 schools across the nation and they need a helping hand to carry on their job of safeguarding youngsters ontheir way to and from school, says the California State Automobile Association, Parents are urged to teach their children to show cooperation and respect for their school safety patrols, and adults should also remember to demonstrate the same spirit of cooperation. School Safety Patrols play a major role inreducing accidents among school-age children and should be praised for their outstanding job of protecting the nation's younger generation, As part of AAA's nationwide school traffic safety education program, this poster is being distributed to all parts of the country. ae Benady eT wer ee By Fay M. Dunbar 273-2934 I was canning peaches yesterday when our neighbor Mrs, Sue Fay of Hilaire acres dropped by to return some empties — fruit jars, of course—from last years canning. It's nice to have neighbors who do this. When your fruit jar supply begins to run low you realize how bottling companies must feel each summer when they need their bottles most and everyone is too busy to remember to return empties. The 'no return’ bottles would be nice if so ‘many of them didn't end up in our front pasture thrown carelessly from passing cars. Mrs, Fay was telling me what a joy their Labor Day weekend was, except for the crowds, She and daughter Pam with Pam's friend Helen Dargie took advantage of Sues holiday from the hospital and went on a little camping trip. They had a wonderful ride through the high country around Yuba Pass and then camped at Fiddle Creek Campground, While the young ladies played and swam, Sue did a little gold panning. Her efforts were rewarded with lots of color “and two small nuggets, . They had such a wonderful time that they have decided to spend at least one day of each of our glorious autumn weekends picnicking or camping. Happy reso> lution for all of us. * * My own yard is beginning to hint at fall. The liquidamber is sporting a few colored leaves and the virginia creeper has a gorgeous red spray here and there.

The plums, plus some our neighbors, the Lester Hickles'’ gave me, are made into jam. .The cellar won't be bare this winter. * * * Mr, Phillip Parry, our neighbor, seems to enjoy this weather, too. We hear him working in his shop early and late, Mr. Parry builds stagecoaches and they are beauties, too. When Mr, Parry and Italkit's usually about weeds or irrigation (our pastures adjoin). Mr. Parry at one time actually drove a stagecoach over a 90-mile route between Twin Falls Idaho and Jarbidge, Nevada, What fascinated me most was the Harness Bells, Mr. Parry isastickler for detail. He does every single bit of the building himself. He does the leather, including harness, and metal work himself as well as the necessary wood work. He had the harness bells especially cast to get exactly the right tone. He has a stagecoach and apfairie schoon_er under construction at the present time. He loves to have really interested people visit his shop. Mr. Parry raises horses and donkeys on his ranch on Rough and Ready Road just as a little extra hobby. The Parrys are retired and came here from Susanville. Mrs. Parry's hobby is hand dyed and hand made wool rugs. * ok The formation of a Western Nevada County Recreation District affects us all. We all want to hold, for public use, at least a little of the pleasant waterways and the beauty that surrounds our homes and our lives here today. It's worth the very small cost of a recreation district just to protect the remainder of these pleasant spots around us. Give it a little thought.

In an old boo, Your Rugged Constitution by Bruce and Esther Findlay, our Constitution is referred to as “A House of Freedom for the United States.'"' The 38 men, representatives of 12 colonies (Rhode Island sent no delegate), started early in 1787 with the idea of adapting the Articles of Confederation of our early colonies. To quote our authors about the 13 colonies, "It was an imperfect league of friendship among 13 semi-independent states. . Instead of working together, as a team, the states of ten pulled in different directions." It must have been something like the U.N, in a mild sort of way. So they gave up the Articles and came up with this document, perfect in its intentions if sometimes imperfect in its allowances for our use of it. It was ratified by all 13 states though ratification by only nine would have made it the law of our land. The actual building of the new government. began in the spring of 1789 when George Washington was inagurated the first president. * ee Bud and Dora Cannon. of San Jose spent last weekend visiting the Jack Bixlers, ae ok Christmas is coming.
