GREENVILLE ROTARIANS !
PAY STANDING TRIBUTE
TO DR. HAL BAUSCH
Tribute was paid by members
of the Greenville Rotary Club yes,
terday to their deceased brother,:
Dr. Harold Bausch, when Presi-
dent Wilbur asked that all stand:
and observe a minute of silence,
followed by the reading of a eu-
logy by Bi.ll Hall:
"The death of Dr. Harold Bausch
has taken from this club one of
its most active members. He was
sincere in his belief ind applica-
tion of the Objects of Rotary. His
professional and personal activi-
ties highly exemplified the ideal
of service as a basis of worthy
enterprise.
"Hal became a member of the
Greenville Rotary Club soon after
his arrival here in 1940 and im-
mediately grasped the significance
and value of Rotary Service and
its ideals. His interest and wil-
lingness in Rotary activities were
not unheeded by the club, and in
1943 he was elected president,
conducting that office with pride
and enthusiasm giving much of
his own time to the difficult proj-
ects of the wr-torn years•
"Hal has devoted much of his
time and effort to the Plumas
County Tubercu:losis and Health
-Assn. and has served as its vice-
president for the past 2 years.
"The community of Greenville
has lost a fine citizen, the mem-
bers of this club have lost a true
riend, and the club itself has lost
a sincere and respected member
through the death of Dr. Harold
Bausch."
E. J. (Bob) Humphrey was the
program chairman and provided
moving pictures of scenes taken
in the county during snow remov-
al operations. Visitors were Phil
Oeriodi. Vaughan Edwards, Emil
Austin, Ralph Harmer, Grant
"Youngs and Frank Gasper of

AS WE SEE IT"
WATCH OUT FOR STASSEN
The report that 150 presidents
of labor unions are supporting
Gov. Warren for the presidency is
not to be taken as evidence that
all that union membership rep-
resented will suppor Warren . . .
it mainly assures 150 votes for
the California aspirant. Harold
Stassen is not to be regarded as
a supporter of General Ike for the
presidency. Mr. Stassen has said
that if Mr. Eisenhower fails to
declare his candidacy soon, his
(Stassen's) decision will be made
following the Wisconsin primary
• . . If Taft wins that, Stassen
may not run; if Stassen wins it,
he may run against all comers.
He could ,be just as formidable a
dark horse as could Earl Warren.
COULD BE MUCH WORSE
Don't know whether they had a
white C2ristmas in Chicago or
not, but they were sure having
snow problems there yesterday,
with much traffic halted, snow
falling faster than could be dis-
posed of, and anticipated 5 deg.
below zero last night : . . Indian
Valley and area enjoyed a light
snowfall Christmas day with in-
termittent drizzles of rain at oth-
er times . . . still can't catch up
with last winter's early rainfall,
however.
HEED WHAT THEY TELL YOU
The need for care in the erect-
ing of Christmas trees is again
brought out this year by the
tragic fire which occurred in an
auditorium at Tijuana a few days
Defers the holiday. More and more
insistence is being placed on the
need for fireproofing of trees ana
the exercise of good judgment in
erecting and decorating them
and it seems well justified. Cali-
fornia's state law regulating this
is a boon to many, and with the
use df modern chemicals, trees
are in no way impaired by the
fireproofing process.
SIGNS OF THE TIMES
"It isn't so much what you do
or say,
"As the way you do or say it;
"What would an egg amount to,
pray,
"If a hen from a roost did lay it?"
OVERHEARD
"She looks intelligent when she
wears glasses, but it's only an
optical illusion."
The Hall boys and Ralph Lozano
arose at an early hour Christmas
morning in order to get the kids"
festivities out of the way before
engaging in an all-day task of
taking inventory . . . question is,
where were they at 3:30 p.m.?
Lots of people left town for the
holiday and/or holidays, and a lot
of homes in Greenville were dark
on Christmas Eve as a result . . .
believe there were more outdoor
Xmas trees and more visible-from-
the-street decorations than ever
before, however, and the stores all
report a rushing 'business Satur-
day and Monday.
Somebody has written in to in-
quire: "Who is the Quincy lad (he
must be from Quincy) that goes
around on Christmas day tearing
down people's garage doors?"
AND WE MEAN IT . . .
Christmas has passed and the
eve of the new year is close at
hand, so while some hunt ducka
and others vacation as we get out
our annual New Year edition, we
want to wish one and all a very
happy and prosperous 1952 .
and particularly do we thank all
those who chose to extend their
greetings of the season through
our advertising columns.
FIRST TIME IN THE SNOW
Anyway, as far zs he was aware
of it, young Mike Harrelson had
his first snowy Christmas tis
year when he came up with ls
mother, Boots to spend the holi-
day with relatives, Gimp and
Jewell Standart and the girls. The
whole family left yesterday for
the bay area to enjoy a few days
of their winter vacation.

HERB WILCOX RETIRES
AS JURY FOREMAN."
ART BATY NAMED
The annual report of the Plu-
mas County Grand Jury was filed
yesterday, and the names of new
Jurors for the coming year were
announced.
The body recommended the re-
pairing of the Greenville town hall
other than the fire hall and jus-
tice court, to make it usable to
the public, also advising that the
entire exterior of the building be
redecorated.
School buildings thz'oughout the
Plumas Unified District were gen-
erally approved, it was reported.
The building committee of the
grand jury recommended that the
ceiling over the courthouse Jail
and lobby is of the cheapest pos-
ble construction and urged that
the Board of Supervisors emplo
a competent engineer and contract
for its reconstruction. It was stat-
ed that under present conditions
little more than a spoon is needed
for a prisoner to effect an escape
from the jail into the attic.
The hospital committee has rec-
mended that urgent attention be
given by the county to the build-
ing of an outside fire escape on
the east end of the county hospital
and enlargement of the Portola
county jail was recommended.
The auditing committee contin-
ues its recommendation of the
improvement of accounting pro-
cedures in the county offices an0
departments, again stressing the
need of a county-wide inventory
control.
Serving on the jury from this
area during the past year were
Herbert Wilcox, foreman; Arthur
Sorsoli, Ken Murray, Randall Gol-
denson, Bill Baxter and John
Hardgrave. The grand jury for the
coming year will be headed by

bers from Indian Valley are:
