LEETE, JR., Owner and Publisher Member California Newspaper Publishers Association Published every Thursday at Nevada City, California, and entered as matter of the second class in the postoffice at Nevada City under Act of Congress, March 8, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year (in advance) ....-------+--------++ Atari esas veg cuadouseuasatudeL $3.00 @ne month (in advance) 30 cents NEWSPAPER WEEK. “Your right to know is the key to all your liberties.” Under this slogan Newspaper Week will be observed from October . to 8. The American press is’ the eyes and ears of the American people. It brings the world in words and “pictures to the humblest citizen. It not only reports events but it helps to interpret the meaning of those events and how they will affect the,average American. The American press is a free press. But maintaining that freedom has not been, and is not, easy. Under the guise of national security, efforts have been made in high places to keep information from the public: Newspapers as a whole have always been willing to co-operate in preventing the leakage of data vital to our national safety. They will not however, placidly accept restrictions on their news gathering or on their news commentary which are set.up solely to conceal the blunders of government or military officials. The people have a right to know the facts. The press has a right to gather and report on those facts, and to express its views.on them. To interfere with these right is the first step away from freedom of the press and freedom of the individual. This newspaper, along with other newspapers, is dedicated to the job of helping to keep the American people the best informed in the world. ' Indeed, “‘your right to know is the key to all your liberties.’ _ INFLUENCE FOR PROGRESS Some of the best things develop so quietly and so slowly that they attract little notice. A good example of that is found in retail merchandising. If we could turn back the clock and directly compare the typical store of twenty or thirty years ago with the typical store of the present, we'd be amazed by the difference. All manner of desirable services have come into being. Stocks are far larger and more varied. Store arrangements are infinitely more convenient for the shopper. Standards of display and sanitation have been raised. All in all, shopping has been made far easier and more pleasant. The main cause of this is a simple one, and it. can be expressed in a single word: Competition. We have chains and independents, super-markets and specialty shops, self-help cash stores and stores which specialize in delivery service and charge accounts. All of them are out to get your business if they can, and all of them offer inducements. No storekeeper, from the biggest chain to the smallest independent, can afford to sit back and say that further improvement NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS Taxes for the City of Nevada for the year 1948 are now due and payable.

PAUL BERGEMANN, Owner 246 Sacramento St. Telephone 203 Nevada City 24-HOUR AMBULANCE SERVICE ‘is impossible. Any morning, the competitor down the street may come up with a new and attractive innovation, and all stores have to be ready to meet it. Competition, on which the free enterprise system is based, is the greatest influence for progress that exists. < SERVING COMMUNISM As was to be expected, the investigations of communist influences and personalities in the government have been confused by affirmations and denials, charges and counter-charges. The whole story-may never be learned. But no one can doubt that these influences have existed—and that they have been tolerated in very high places. The real, card-bearing communists, and the more timid fellow travelers who follow the party line but can’t quite bring themselves to signing on the dotted line, can be ferreted out. The FBI and other agencies have been quietly carrying on an effective work to that end. Yet there is another phase to the problem which hasn't made the headlines, but in the long run, may be the most serious. That phase is the widespread public indifference to policies and activities which undermine the whole concept of representative government and an economic system based on the freest possible exercise of individual energy, talent and ambition. If-communism, or any other kind of total government, is to gain the driver's seat in this country, “Chuck Wagon Feed two things must happen. First, the basic industries of the nation must be socialized—which is just another way of saying that the instruments of production must be controlled by those who hold political jobs. Those who say that cannot happen:here are blind to the lessons of history. We have, for instance, gone a considerable distance in socializing the electric industry. In.one region in the Southeast, it has been almost completely socialized. In the Pacific Northwest the government, through its domination of the power supply, is the big boss. These are the entering wedges, the precedents, which fit in perfectly with totalitarian pur. tion or in the final stage are: 1. A 250-bed general medical and surgical hospital at Fresno is now being built under the supervision of the U. S. Army engineers. It will cost approximately $6,000,000. 2.

In some cases, by the time the VA learns of another address to mail the check, the veteran has moved again when ‘the check arrives and VA must wait until they receive still another mailing address. During fiscal year 1948 the San Erancisco VA _ office certified 1,256,810 benefit checks for payment to veterans. The payments included subsistence for veterans enrolled in, school, job or farm training under the G-I Bill and compensation or pension checks. 3enefit checks mailed during
the fiscal year by the San Franciseo office had a total value of $115,233,000, -Shields said. Shields again requested veterans to submit change of address ‘ romptly in order to speed up eceipt of their checks and ease the VA work load caused by the handling of returned checks. Question: I intend to be a bartender and would like to know if I can take a course in bartendBeige, Grey, poses. There is now strong political pressure to extend the program of Federal socialization of power on a natin-wide scale. ‘Second, total government requires an ever-increasing dependence of the public on government for services and benefits it once earned for itself. The present name for this is social security. Government is called upon to protect us against unemployment, the economic problems of old age, sickness and so on. Little by little government becomes the dominating factor in our lives. It daily grows bigger, more dictatorial. So, in time, the stage is ready for the dictator— the Hitler who comes to power by constitutional means, and then destroys all constitutional rights. The kind and well-meaning people who contribute in these ways to the break-down of principle are serving communism well. Freedom can never be a half-way proposition. We will keep it intact or we will lose it. T. B. Association Met Wed. Evening GRASS VALLEY: The Nevada County Tuberculosis Association meeting in the James S.
