Q=me Cormission will hold its
regular monthly session on Frl-
day, June I, 8 p.m., in the court

All meetings are open to the
btlb|ic, and those having prob-
lems or projects concerning the
Welfare of fish and game in the
oUnty are urged to attend.
Kenneth Hunter, Chairman
I Something less than three years
ago [he voters of the United
tates elected Harry Truman as
their president by a relatively
arrow margin, and he has been
prOvided an income of approxi-
lately $1000 each working day
Of the year.
PoSsibly half the voters didn't
Want Harry elected; probably
Ore than that number would vote
tqinst him today . . . BUT re-
tdless ,of his popularity or lack
f it, regardless of his errors of
01ission and commission, Mr.
2rumn is still president and he
Continue in authority until his
term expires next year.
At about the same time, voters
In this county formed a Unified
=haol District and elected a Gov-
erning Board o administer its
affairs. The members of that body
tiVE their time to the district
bUause they are interested in the
Well-being of the county and the
adva,tages it may be possible to
give to its school pupils . . . some
of them served on school boards
Prior to unification and are quite
famlllap with the County's partic-
Ular problems . . . all of them are
eincere, honest nd conscientious,
and probably all of them are cap-
able of faulty judgment and other
ak eases.
I-st week a delegation repre-
'ting ome 480 petitioners of
this area met in Quincy with a
View to persuading the Board to
l'chld its acceptance of a resig-
nation submitted by a Greenville
teacher. The board took no action
beyond stating its attitude and
lmplylng thkt" its acceptance is
tal. Another public meeting is
Plahned for nex week, when the
RlbJct will be reopened.
Personally we do not feel in-
,lined to either uphold or condemn
the lehool board, the administra-
tlen, the principal involved, the
teacher involved, or the parents
Wta are supporting his cause . . .
We ace rather inclined to the idea
that in this democratic nation of
oU the proper procedure is to
|Qt the school board run schools,
the oad commissioner the roads
Of the county, and the supervisors
the county itself.
That doesn't mean we do not
l'eaarVe our democratic privilege
0t llurling criticisms at any and
lll parties concerned nor does it
aearL that we would be content to
have deaf ears turned to our sug-
gestions--especially in those rare
e-tes in which We happen to be
better informed about his job than
the ran we elected to it.
Jt we do not believe that the

LOCAL BOY SCOUT TROOP
BRINGS HOME BACON
FROM CAMPORETTE
The local Boy Scout Troop No.
23 brought home the bacon last
weekend when they attended the
annual camporette of the combin-
ed Table Mountain and Feather
River Districts. Sixteen boys, all
tenderfeet, making three patrols,
in competition with some 250
scouts ranging in rank from ten-
derfeet to life took 3 prlzes--ne
for each patrol--out of a total of
nine, and also took the president's
award blue ribbon for third place
as a troop. David Hayes took third
place in the string burning con-
test and John Smith rook eighth
place.
Everyone had a fine time and
we expect to go back next year
and get the first place which was
won by the troop from Palermo
twice in a row.
The parents of these boys and
the community as a whole should
be Justly proud of the hard work
they put in on this project.

Preliminary work was done by

MR. NORVEL GILLESPIE
IS NARD BY MAN
7ALLEY GARDENERS
(By Eleanore Holt)
One of the finest programs 'of
the Indian Valley Garden Club
calendar was enjoyed by 85 women
and a few Greenville students on
last Thursday afternoon.
Norvel Cillespie, the very best
garden speaker in the seven west-
ern states, arrived in Greenville
after a multitude of handicaps.
Mrs. Holt. former lub president,
has been working on this program
to get the noted gentleman here
since last Oelober, and with, the
help of competent secretary, Mar-
guerite Hamblin, it was finally
accomplished.
There was a bit of excitement
Thursda noon when Mr. Gllles-
pie and a pilot from Oroville set
their small "Cub" down in Holts'
front yard (literally), though ac-
curately Just baek of the Van.Ronk
ball diamond, tlough the courtesy
of Vic Shiel}s of the Hot Springs.
The field was a bit wet and quite
rough in spots, but with the aid of
a couple of Holts. a scout signal
and a Quincy red-and-white pom-
pore a successful landing was fi-
nally made without accident.
President Henri Fisher met the
fellows with flying colors, and af-
ter lunch the session took up in
the high school music room, where
Mr. Gillespie presented a fine cat-
alog of slides on the beautiful gar-
dens of England, Scotland, Italy,
Ireland and France. Then he sur-
prised his audience by including
a half hour of slides and lecture
,n his recent trip to Hawaii.
Norvel Gillespie at the age of 12
was working in the gardens of the
famous Golden Gate Park at San
Francisco. Mr. and Mrs. Holt had
the pleasure of taking the Victory
Garden Boys to Sacramento in
1944, where they received the Cali-
fornia State Garden award from
Mr. Gillespie, then representing
the National Garden Institute.
The speaker paid tribute to both
the Miller and Morris stores for
their excellent window, displays
at that time, and he also visited
eacl owner to extend his congrat-
ulations for a fine community and
on the way people here really get
out and get results despite the dif-
ficulties to be eneountered in a
mountainous area such as this.
