T matter of the second class in the postoffice at ee The Easter season is here—season of hope everlasting and faith eternal. What will it mean, one wonders, to people abroad in the grips of deadly war? The philosophy of war-bitten countries, they say, changes from day to day, from week to week, as life becomes more precarious. Courage remains among a courageous. people, but moral] aiid social values fluctuate with the surge of war. “Criminal activities among youth,” reports a social survey committee, “‘in blacked-out London today is on the increase—just as adult crime is intensified by living conditions geared for war, not for peace.” “The tendency among youth particularly, in this war as in the last, ‘is toward a philosophy of ‘living ‘just for today— for tomorrow may not come:” You hear it too often to be com-' fortable about it.” = ‘Yet+-when Easter dawn tips a million towering crosses ona milliomhigh flung hills—possibly one thing and one only will t6uth 'for ‘a tirtie ‘the hearts of the bombing, killing, warto¢ked peoples abroad; and make them ‘remember.’ That ‘is ‘a deep-seated sureness, passed down along the ‘rolls of ‘himan_ity: since Christ died and: rose again, that Easter is the remind_ er and ‘the proof<of hope: everlasting and faith eternal: ‘War, however “bitter:" howéver annihilative, has blot’ it out.—Contributed. oe tis . . The Pacific Era a ad E * Pacific, literally translated, means peaceful. But the’ Pac-. ific Ocean, actually, is‘rougher-than the Atlantic. We méntion this curidus‘eddity because'Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur,’ président of Stanford University; declared last week that ‘““The Pacific era has‘begun—bringing with it the greatest of our future problems for the human race." *" * me Said Mr. Wilbur: “Around the Pacific (Ocean) are gathered’a ‘major: portion of all living human beings. To thern cémeés'thé last great opportunity for man on this earth to conquer himself as he masters space and develops a barrier, which has held people apart, into a passageway ‘to bring ‘them’ together’.’ Regardless of the outcome of the current European war —whether Britain wins, or Hitler finally emerges victorious —President Wilbur is doubtless right in saying that this is the dawn of the Pacific era. much blood-letting. The nations of the Atlantic are on the downgrade—and Europe is ‘like an’ imperious old man’ who ‘wears a topper and spats in the grand manner, but leans on < “cane. The future of our own nation —and the future of the world—tlies on the’ shores’ of the Pacific. This is a new world comparatively—a world still strong in men, in wealth, in natural resources. Here-the drama of the future will be played. And California hasa seat on the''middle ‘aisle, front and center. There are clouds over the Pacific as this is writtert. ‘Battl= fleets are cruising in the Pacific. Island fortifications are being. rushed to completion in the Pacific. But we hope, ‘in the words of President Wilbur of Stanford, that we, who have put Wings . across the Pacific, shall yet make them wings of peace. Dark as the outlook at the moment may be, we hope that the Pacific era shall somehow, someway be an era of peace—in which man, who has learned to conquer nearly everything else —. shall learn to conquer himself.—Contributed.

I] wonder if the Statue ‘of Liberty is sad tonight. Gazing out across the waves to the land from whence ‘she came. do her clear eyes fill with tears? Does she lift the torch of Freedom higher and yet higher, so that France may see and again take heart? : That may seem like a fantastic thought; but events are daily transpiring in lands other than: our own,’ which ‘might well move a heart of stone, bronze, or even cold; ‘implacable steel. Our human hearts cannot fail to answer to the cries of enslaved peoples and‘ our hands must lift high the ‘torch of Liberty, so that the stars of hope may be enkindled and the road to peace be soon discerned.

An attempt to add Sierra County to ‘the ten ‘other counties which now comprise the district was tabled by the committee. Should Sierjoin with the other ‘Mothér Lode counties of the 6th district, an amendment to that effect Gould be presen'ted in the senate when the bill reaches that~house,.

Attempts to add several valpudgets will be made upon the floor of the assembly and there is a strong possibility that several restorations’ will be made, During the week, the lower house passed the senate bill which would return relief to the counties. There is quite a difference of ovinion regarding the returning of the administration of relief to the counties -and it is doubtful if ‘the governor will sign the measure. The past week was a busy one for all of the legislators including Senators Dillinger of El Dorado County, Brown of Inyo County, Mayo of Cali averas County and Seawell of Placer County. All of these senators had numerous measures of their own both in committee and on the floor. Senator Seawell was successful in having two fish and game bills sponsored by the writer, passed in the senate.

THINKING OUT LOUD (Continued from Page One) And no wonder he protests angrily at the help the United States is throwing into the balance against him, If he were logical he would not protest, for he accepted all the help Italy could give him up to the moment Mussolini entered the war. It would seem to a layman, with little or no knowledge ‘of military Strategy, that Hitler’s best course, if he hoped to win, would be to concentrate all efforts on shutting off supplies to Britain. The more fuel he uses up in the Balkans, in North Africa and in Norway, in fact the more war supplies of every kind he uses to maintain his grip on subject populations along the great circle of his conquests, the less he will have to throw directly into the vital ‘business (for him) of severing Britain’s life line. In other words, the more he lays waste, the less he has to lay waste with. VITAL STATISTICS BIRTHS COWEN—At:; the . Nevada Sanitarium, April T. 194s and Mrs. J. C, Cowen, a son.
