APRIL—25 YEARS AGO
This nionth of April, in 1917, was mighty exciting for
Americans. On April 6th. we declared war on Germany. The
Germans scoffed at us. We were wholly unprepared, they said
which was true. But they told us our best would be too little
and too late—as they are telling us now!
Yet just exactly one year, seven months and five days after April 6. 1917. the enemy surrendered before a gigantic
host of hard-hitting Yanks: on November 11, 1918. Let's remember that in these times, when enemy propaganda tells us
we've started with too Ittle, too late. We're only into this war
four months. Wait vntil one year, seven months and five days
of it have passed; We did it before—we'll do it again.
GOLD MINING INDUSTRY: IN LAST DITCH STAND
Under the leadership of State Senator Jesse M. Mayo of
Angels Camn. a most successful gathering of mining men
was held in Sa-ramento recently for the purpose of discussing
the priority question as it relates to gold and silver mines.
The meeting was not a protest meeting against the recent lowering of the priority rating. but was rather a meeting
of the minds in the industry to propose a plan by which the
interests of the Mother Lode Gold mining area cou!d properly
be brought before the federal authorities in Washington.
There is no ouestion bvt that the Mother Lode area, including the Grass. Valley and Nevada City section. will suffer
greatly if gold mining cannot continue. It is to be hoped that
the government will recognize the seriousness of the situation and will, in some degree. lessen the restrictions.
Ghost towns will not help us win the war and if gold.
isn't needed now, as some say, to which this writer does not .
agree, gold will most certainly be needed to win the peace
which is to follow.—Scoop Thurman in Colfax Record.
_FROM FRYING PAN INTO FIRING LINE
“Out of the frying pan into the firing line’’ may be the
next salvage campaign for American housewives.
Plans are under way, for a drive to salvave bacon fat and) ed “A plus” with notation of excelother greases left over from Mrs. America’s daily stint in the
kitchen—and pay her four cents a pound for the product.
Details of the proposed campaien are not perfected and
officials warned housewives. not to begin saving grease until
the drive is formally announced.
As now. outlined the campaign would be ‘financed by
soap manufacturers who have large government orders for
glycerine needed in explosives. To make glycerine they must
first make soap and supplies of imported oils have been cut
by the war. Housewives would be urged to save frying pan
grease, and sell it to retailers who would route it to soap in”
dustries.
The government would not figure directly in the campaign, it was said. except to give complete approval and possibly assist in publicizing it.
President Roosevelt wants an official name for this war.
He says he wants a little help from the people in picking out
an appropriate one.
World War Il, the term most commonly applied to it,
diecantty isn’t the one he wants. He’s right, too, because it
has the connotation of being a sort of offspring of the other
one—an anti-climax, when in reality this one is so much big_ ger and so much nearer being truly world-wide that there is no
comparison >
Since he’s asking for entries, we make bold to suggest
one:
Why not “The War of Te cus and Hitler's?
Obviously, only one of them can survive.

In Test Following Classes
THINKING OUT LOUD
(Continued from Page One)
on the general’s schedule.
To the man in the street, the lay
observer, it would look very much
as though the Japs were over-extended. That is, they have gobbled
up more ports, islnds, peninsulas
and cities, than they are equipped
to.defend with war ships and planes. We would not be at all surprised to find the Japs presently
trying to consolidate their gains.
Reinforcing their strong points
with a view to withstanding siege.
The inroads of submarines and
bombing and torpedo planes, as
soon as these are available in numbers, may wittle down the naval
and transport strength of the Japs,
before they can make the defenses
impregnable.
It is still, on the surface, anybody’s war, but there are so many
unknown factors involved, such
as supplies and replacements accessible to Huns and Jams, that
even military experts differ on immediate developments. But the one
* quesition that vitally interests people everywhere, is the probable
duration of the war. Just now, if
as some commentators believe, the
tide is turning, a much shorter war
is indicated than had been. generally forecast. Much depends on this
summer’s camaign in Russia, and
the direction of the Japs turn in
tthe war in the Pacific. But there
are very definite signs of insufficient planes and ships for both
members of the Axis.

What worries me is .. what
happens when they get a day off
after working their heads off all
week? They go to town.. and
what then?
What happens? The answer is
.. mostly nothing! Because most
towns near army camps just don’t
have nearly enough entertainment
facilities to takecareof the soldiers
on leave. So the boys’ just stand
around, leaning against lampposts
or sitting on doorsteps. And sometimes, the local townsfolk find
themsélvés wondering what’s
changed the town . . instead of
pitching in to help the boys have a
good time in decent surroundings.

QUOTH THE RAVEN,
“NEVERMORE”
Broadcast Over KJBS, March 26
A U. S. Navy task force,
Attacks two Jap-held isles.
Embarrassment and dark remorse,
_ Replace toothy Tokyo smiles,
The yellow man’s gone far enough,
On wide-extended lines.
From here the going’s very rough,,
For imperialist’s designs.
Our Navy raided Marcus, Wake,
Blew forts and boats to bits.
Jap confidence begins to break,
Beneath accurate bombing hits.
Of aircraft, we lost only two, ‘
_No boats were lost#at. all. &
Jap propaganda coming through,
Is riding for a fall.
When they reported this last raid,
They quardupled all our losses.
Which shows how lies of truth are
made,
By Tokyo's little bosses.
At their front door’s a knocking,
Being heard at present date.
Uncle Sam their path is blocking,
And his knock’s the voice of
Fate.
It reminds us of a tale by Poe,
’Tiwas told in somber verse,
It went as Japanese fortunes go,
From fair, to bad, to worse.
The poem wasn’t bad at all,
A shining masterpiece.
’Twas full of haunting, tragic call,
—Sad passions did release.
At the start, there came a rapping,
Upon a chamber door.
And a raven did that tapping,
And, at length, quoth
“Nevermore!” —
And so Japan, we come a knocking,
Upon your chamber door.
We and Fate your path our blocking
And your passiword’s
‘““Nevermore!’’
