Four years after the adoption of the constitution the country was divided between Russia, Germany and Austria, and for ‘a eentury and a half Poles lived 4 in subsercience to the three spoiler nations. Under that dog-eat-dog policy, one of the dogs that ate Poland, has since fallen to one of the original aggressors. That country is Austria. Russia and Germany have now divided Poland between ‘them. But Poles cling to their ideal of liberty with a courageous tenacity. Freemen have unlimited reservoirs of valor on which to draw. From its more than a century of oppression Poland rose again. They have to thank for that revival of national life our own hero of the First World war, President Wilson. Its independence was recognized and re-established by the Treaty of Versailles, June 28, 1919. For twenty years the Poles again breathed the air of liberty, and lived in the bright sun of national freedom. Then Hitler struck and today the far flung Polish. legions are brilliantly vindicating their right to existence as a free people. One of the considerations that the leaders of the United Nations are today anxiously pondering is the future of Poland. There will ibe little dispute with a beaten Germany regarding the restoration of Poland. But with Russia on the side of the victorious United Nations, there is ground for grave apprehension. Americans who love their country, and who celebrate its independence on July ce may well give a thought to Poland. next Sunday. Poland ‘has been German-occupied since the autumn of 1939 put thousands of. Poles are. still fighting the Germans in the armies of the United Nations. Many ‘escaped after the defeat, reached France and then England. The Polish Embassy says that there are 42,000 in the First Polish Corps which was organized and re-outtitted in England; some 15,000 in the air conps (pilots and ground crews). Many of these troops have sulbsequently seen action in Africa and other places. In the Near Bast or Egypt is also the Polish Highland Brigade, 15,000 mountaineers fromthe Carpathians. Another small but legend making outfit in the Near East is the Ofificers’ Legion—1,500 men serving as privates who once were Polish offficers of all grades from second lieutenant to lieutenant colonel. In the history of the world, it is doubtful iif any people ever suffered greater cruelties greater injustice, or greater. calamities at the hands of agressor nations than has Poland. Gallantly the Poles, fight on. Families have been torn asunder, hundreds of thousands have been starved to death, have i died of wounds and concentration camp atrocities or have stood up before German firing squads <ad have been mowed down as wheat falls before a reaper. Thousands more have been impressed in industrial slavery in German factories. Yet the Poles carry on, and by giving everything they possess to the cause of the United.Nations, they bespeak and merit generous consideration ‘when the peace is signed. wv tenance any settlement in the peace when it is established which does, . not restore to Poland its ancient boundaries and its independence. We might add that we hope that In Nevada City the ‘wuiber registering ‘was 546. A total of 1251 registered in Grass Valley, 55 at Indian Springs, 70 at North San Juan, ‘23-at North Bloomield 154 at Truckee 35 at Soda Springs, 38 at Chicago Park and 18 at Washington. Graniteville has not sent in a report yet. The numiber signing wp in the fourth registration ‘brought the total of men under jurisdiction of the Nevada County Selective Service Board to 6400. -The first registration and the registration which followed for men reaching the age of 21 produced 3,012 names. The third registration, held in February, resulted in a signup of 1193. The men between 20 and 45 who registered tn February are now receiving their questionnaires. Because most of them are family men not imany of that growp are expected to be eligible for induction into military service. It is doulbtful whether. the 2200 who signed Saturday, Sunday and Monday will be used for military purposes. The registration was principally to determine the number of men in the United States available for labor purposes under the war efifort. Local Chambe?

Because Nevada City Unified School District officials believe the opening day of fishing would result in many absences, especially by boys, a holiday has been declared. The holiday applies both to the high school and elementary school. fornia Fish and Game Commission can see no reason why fishing should not be permitted. The reservoir is in the Fallon, Nev., irrigation district. It is well to remember that there are certain restrictions this year for the fishermen. They must keep away from dams and bridges. Most local fishermen plan to use the opening day. Theweather has not warmed sufficiently for flies. Angle worms and salmon eggs are ‘considered the best lures.

The local real estate man _ said people are impressed with the climatic and scenic advantages of Nevada City but one of the chief reasons for the heavy real estate turnover is, he believes, the expectation of. coast area residents that eventually there will be bombing fo.rays by the Japanese and they desire to establish their families in a zone of ~ safety.
