CITY COUNCIL AND ALL OTHER ORGANIZATIONS The Nevada City Chamber of Commerce has started its 31st year and a program has been make it the most successful in the history of the local booster organization. -Imbued with enthusiasm*by a new constitution and by-laws, the local chamber members are hopeful of actomplishing much work that lies within the realm of the organization and heretofore untouched. & established to _ Thinking Out Loud By H. M. L. \ We are sometimes amused in listening to a radio commentator on policies ‘and war activities abroad to ‘hear him refer to ‘“‘my sources of information, ‘“‘my reports,’’ ete. Now as a matter of fact he could have no sources of information other than those of the various press’ services, unless he spent an enormous sum _ of money on his own account. To equip a private correspondent with credentials, eating and traveling money in all countries of war torn Europe would require an extremely long purse’ which we suspect . City with the radio commentator does not possess. At the moment the Greeks, Yugoslavs and the English are taking it. on the chin, while the German steam roller cruises with its usual success, in so far at any . rate as the initial Balkan cam. paign is concerned, While we don’t think the tale told, we have lately begun to wonder whether there can be any, decision of the war in the Balkans, so long as Britain holds control of the Meditteranean. Germany will have dgain extended its already tremendous perimeter, and will hye again ruined considerable areas which have in the past contributed food and war supplies to her arm+ Supervisor Guerdon Ellis of the Tahoe National Forest, who was installed recently as head of the chamber, is busy working on the personnel of six standing committees which are to work hand in hand with the board of directors on the chamber’s program for the coming year.

Another huge police force, assuming that Hitler over-runs both Yugoslavia and Greece, will be necessary to hold . sullen populations in check. In other words, we begin to suspect that this victory, if it proves to be such, in the long run will be another step toward his ultimate defeat, because Great Britain will still rule on the sea. } . . The sea is still the key to world dominion, and while many will marvel at the prescience of a house painter who prepared for war by creating mighty air armadas, and arming and training millions of men for his special ‘‘der tag’’ we are beginning to suspect that even Hitler’s restless penetrating genius never grasped the importance of the sea, at least, not to the extent that Kaiser Wilthelm did more than a generation ago. When historians come to sum up the reasons for Germany’s final defeat in the War of the Forties, we believe they will: put their finger on the primary reason, i.e. lack of a navy. We have suspected for sometime, as has also the commentator referred to above, that Britain has taken advantage of the Italian failure in its attacks on Greece to enveigle Hitler into the Balkans. The farther the Germans can be dragged from their primary sourcers of supply the more precarious their position becomes, so long as they have no‘navy to‘carry them food and munitions. With the extension of German forces into Italy and North Africa, the supply problem increases in what might ‘be called gedmetric proportions. : An army has to be fed to be effective, and huge increases in the food demand on populations already on slim rations with no avenues open by sea, cannot but increase hazards to Hitler and make his expanded holdings tenuous and risky. No wonder Hitler is trying desperately to embroil the French navy in the war against Britain.

This membership drive is necessary for two. purposes — one to bring into the Chamber a new group of younger men who will add enthusiasm to the organization and_ secondly, there is the urgent need for funds. From a rather extensive analysis of present funds secured from memberships and liabilities for operation, we shall
have approximately $150 this year to carry on the Chambers work. This sum is entirely inadequate. For example, we have already obligated the Chamber in the amount of $100 for a descriptive folder. If the Chamber is going to accomplish any of its objectives it must have more funds and the only way . can think of securing same is from membership. In the past other benefits such ag dances and fairs have not been a financial success but rather.a drain upon the meager finances of the organization. The Board of Directors have already stated some of their aims for the coming year. The first one which they have laid stress upon is that they will give careful consideration to all requests made by the memberships. Another policy laid down by the board is that they will cooperate 100% with the Nevada City Council and Board of Supervisors of Nevada County. It is the desire of the Directors also to cooperate with all the organizations represented in Nevada City and: any programs they may wish us to consummate. Already we have under consideration the matter of holding an annual Community Chest Drive which will be made for funds upon the citizenry once each year. Several inquiries have been received by members of the represented in Nevada City and any programs they may wish us to con-; summate.”’ . Ellis announced the chamber dir-. ectors have under consideration of establishing a Community Chest in Nevada City. Instead of each civic organization asking for funds from the citizenry at every turn of the The improvement and publicizing of the roads in the Nevada City disEllis said special consideraIt is possible the chamber will work toward establishing a museum in this city to at'tract outside tourists. President Ellis states the chamber has a large program on which to work and in order to accomplish only a part of it the wholehearted cooperation of the entire community is necessary. : Garden Clubs for a program of city beautification to include . tree and shrub planting. 2 The Board of Directors will have six standing committees, as follows: Mining, Highways, Recreation. and Travel Stimulation, Business and Civic Relationships, and Publicity. In the very near future the president will announce the membership of these various standing committees. For the committee of Recreation and Travel Stimulation a number of programs have already been submitted by organizations, in-. terested citizens. One club desires that we give emphasis to the historical lure of this section including data on old buildings, the Donner Emigrant Trail, and other pioneer land marks. The Chamber has just contracted for the publication of five thousand copies of an exclusive Nevada City folder. The City Council of Nevada City is cooperating on an equal basis with the Chamber in publishing this pamphlet. It will be a five to six page folder containing a map of the city of Nevada City in cartograph. The map has already been prepared by Miss Madeline Himes and is an excellent piece of art wok. The folder will contain illustrations of the following activities: Historical. interests — a brief write-up of the history of the region together with pictures of the old fire house, the castle, Continued On Page Six « Good Friday, Easter Services Arranged GOOD FRIDAY SERVICES AT ALL CHURCHES IN CITY The two Protestant Churches, Trinity and Methodist, will have combined Good Friday services tomorrow between . 2 o'clock noon and 3 p. m. with Rev.
