When fear ‘. for the safety of their families (representing a population of several thousand), surged through the community a call went out for help. Answering that call Congressman Engle flew from Washington, D: C. and started work immediately to improve the situation. With the help of the ‘California State Senate fact-finding committee and the Dies Congressional Investigating committee, he introduced legislation that is now in process of passing to control the Japanese on the Pacific coast and to prevent their return to that area. Nearly every one of the Pacific coast congressmen gave their wholehearted support to this drive against the New Deal and bureaucratic eaetins of Jap camps.

In an informal talk with members of the Nevada County Republican Central committeemen at Grass Valley last Wednesday night, Senator Jesse M. Mayo, only Republican candidate for Congress in this district o,utlined his policies in the current campaign. “The contest for congressman from this district is not a contest between two ° personalities.”” said Senator Mayo, “but a Ccoutest between two philosophies of government. The incumbent, Congressman Engle, has, since his eléction last year, consistently supported the New Deal philosophy in . Washington, even to the point of failing to. su'pport legislation beneficial to the min‘ing and lumber industries, when it conflicted with the policies of the New Dealers. “The other philosophy of government, which I represent,’ Mayo continued, “is that.first and foremost there shall be a government by the elected representatives and not by bureaucrats. The time has come" to take the policy-making power of government out of the hands of arrogant bureaucrats and return it to the hands of the elected representatives of the people.”’ Senator Mayo also pointed out that the next.congressman from this district Would undoubittedly have a voice in writing the peace program. “America can no longer isolate irself,” said Mayo, “but must assume its place’ among the nations of the world. Any peace program must he based upon the complete .disarmament of the Axis dictator nations. “With victory will come demobilization of a large part of our armed forces and the conversion of war plantts to peace-time production. Jobs in private. industry at prevailing wages, should be the goal of our government. Federal, State and local, when that time comes,’’ concluled Senator Mayo. O'BRIEN HOME IN SMARTVILLE SOLD The home of the late James O’Brien, Sr. in Smartville, Yuba Co., it is learned here, sold to Larry Wilkinson of Chico, Butte County. The house was built in 1865 by James K. O’Brien, Sr. and until last October ‘was. occupied by members ofthe family. O’Brien assisted in building the Packtolas tunnel used by early day placer miners’ in Smartville and was later superintendent of the Excelsior Water and Mining Company, until. the Sawyer. decision in 1886 ‘put an end to hydraulic mining. He died in. 1915. Two, daughters, the Misses Helen and Agnes O'Brien have. occupied the house until recently, but last fall removed to San Francisco, where another daughter, Mrs. J .P. Pierce, and a son, James K, O’Brien, reside, ) WITH FELONY ASSAULT Tony Martinez, charged with feling before Justice of the Peace C. ©. Smith of Meadowlake Township Tuesday, was held to answer in the superior court and his bail was fixed at $1,000. Undersheriff William Woods took Martinez to Truckee for the hearing and returning placed him in jail in lieu of bail. Martinez, 39, is accused of beating Samuel Gunn Jr. in a labor camp row in Truckee two weeks ago.

The water in all streams is low and very clear. “The lakes are still too cold,” said Hiscox, ‘‘and the higher lakes are blocked by snow covered roads. It will be impossible to get into Bowman Lake due to snow along the road, and Canyon Creek that flows from the lake is closed to fishing by order of the California Fish and Game Commission. The Graniteville section ‘beyond North>Bloomfield in the vicinity of Snow Tent, is al3o inaccessible due to heavy snow. “But the Bear River, the South Yuba and Middle Yuba Rviers, and their tributaries should all afford good fishing. On the South Yuba above Washingiton, excellent fishing should be enjoyed. Oregon Creek flowing into the Middle Yuba along the Downieville Highway will undoubtedly attract many fishermen. “I would advise fishermen in this area to use black gnats and salmon flies for the opening days. In the lakes, if temiperatures of the water rises above 40 degrees, helgramites, salmon .eggs and worms should do the trick. However I -think lake fishing will not be good for another month. “Roads to all streams are in good condition except in the higher altitudes where snow still covers the ground. “Gasoline, of course, will make a difference to some fishermen, but I' know that local anglers driving on an A card in most cases, have seved up gas enough to open the season with, and I think it is reasonable to assume that trout anglers in the rwalley counties will save gas for the vbig day.” RECORDINGS OF HOME VOICES ~ FOR OVERSEAS Speeding toward a front-line naval hospital today is a voice recording machine bearing the inscription “Gift of the Native Daughters of the Golden West.” *‘Appeal by the San Francisco League for Service Men to members of Past Presidents Association ‘No. 1, Native Daughters of the Golden West, resulted in immediate raising of funds for the purchase of the recording machine to’ send messages from wounded men in the South Pacific to their families at home,” according to announcement by Mrs: Leah M.
