Nevada City Nugget 205 Broad Street. Phone 36. A Lega] Newspaper, as defined by statute. Printed and Published at Nevada City. ‘H. M. LEETE e Editor anu tus.--1879. One Month Published Semi-Weekly, Monday and Puarsd ay at Nevada City, California, and entered us’ ma. matter of the second élass in Gne year (In Advance) Nevada City under Act of Congress, March 3; SUBSCRIPTION RATES Soe = Rls fe eek es poeenn eS: $3.00 80 cents the postoftice at 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. Local Women Pass High s fn Combatting Gasses, Bombs Instruction given here by Mrs. Breeden of the Women’s Voluntary Service organizatin was entertaining as well as instructive. Many of her pupils did not take the final written examination. Others failed to make passing marks but on the whole the report shows that a clear understanding of the gasses and bombs was absorbed.

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. td * a In many towns, however, the situation is better.

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!’’ Written by Harley M. Leete Jr. _* The manner of giving shows the character of the giver, more than the gift itself.—Lavater.
