Printed and Published at Nevada City. € Rs wr ye Published Semi-Weekly, Monday anu dui:sday at Nevada City, California, and entered as ms matter of the second class in the postoffive at One Month OUR GROWING A. E. F. World War . is dwarfed by World War II in almost every comparison. During the first twelve months after_Pearl Harbor, according to the Army Transportation Corps, 891,827 American fighting men were moved overseas, as compared to 366,603 men sent to France during the first year of the last war. In this war, we are shipping 82 pounds of equipment and supplies per day for. every member of our rapidly expanding overseas force; in the last war, comparable shipments to the first A. E. F. averaged 43 pounds per man. The staggering tasks of total war are further illustrated by the War Department announcement that during last year 11,641,838 Army troops were moved on railroads in the United States, as against 2,734.527. men transported on our railways during a like period in World War . . The announcement also told of shipments overseas in the first year of this war of freight totaling 10,474,923 tons, compared with 1, 737,000 tons moved overseas in the first year of the last war. —j striking power which we are bringing to the aid of our allies, they also serve to high light the almost unbelievable demands made on our production and transportation facilities here at home to maintain our supply lines. In the light of such demands for transportation, it is more understandable why the railroads are making such an insistent fight at Sacramento to suspend the Full Crew Law for the duration, so that trains may not be needlessly delayed by featherbed regulations. The railroads, under private maaagement, are doing both a bigger and a better job in this war than they did in World War . under government management. But they need to be free from make-work restrictions if they are to handle the vastly bigger job ahead of them as shipments of both troops and materials are stepped up to clinch a decisive and early victory. ' We are making deadly war on the submarine packs which menace our ocean shipments. We have need to fight just as vigorously and effectively to eliminate every menace to efficient transportation here at home. Our AEF is growing and our job is growing with it. ‘ : eo THE ROAD TO BERLIN Berlin is digging in its ruins again, trying to untangle the wreckage caused by British block-busters. . England's coastline, spring-board for the impending invasion of the continent. has been declared a restricted military area, as American and British troops rush their preparations. The Mareth Line, outflanked and overwhelmed, has fallen—and the Desert Fox, out-foxed and out-fought, apparently is on the verge of complete disaster, with the Allied Armies fighting desperately to clean Tunisia of the last remnants of the Afrika Korps. And day after day, night after night, Amrican and British planes pound factories, troop concentrations and railways in Germany and the occupied countries in a fierce, never ending, softening up attack to pave the way for the day of invasion. The sign-posts on the road to Berlin are gradually becoming clearer as the allied offensive gathers increasing power—and as gloomy Axis leaders warn their people that they must not break in the face of disaster. It is a hard road, this road to Berlin, and we must be prepared for heart-rending casualty lists and shattering setbacks before it is taken. But unless all signs ar untrustworthy, we can now begin to see not just the end of the beginning, as Churchill called it months ago, but the beginning of the end. We hope it will not. be too long delayed, nor too costly.

CALIFORNIA FARM DECLINEINGAS MANPOWER LACK TAX RECEIPTS TO GROWS ACUTE REACH 28PCT. By RALPH H. TAYLOR President Roosevelt's recent sug-. power, rather than lack of funds or gestions for meeting the farm labor) equipment, are the major problems crisis in thé United States, —defer-. facing the states in connection with ment of farm workers, the furlough-. highway maifitenance, the (Califoring of rural draftees back home for. nia state autmomobile association the harvest season and the recruitstated today. ing of an army of school children to Basis of the statement was a Dework on farms during their summer partment of Commerce report receiyvacations—may be of considerable ed from A\AA headquarters at Washaid, nationally, but they are wholly ington D,. C. Stressing the fact that inadequate to cope with California’s construction of new roads and re1 i } . emergency agricultural problem. C. C. Teague, president of the agrieultural Council of California and one of the state’s ablest farm leaders, who was sent to Washington by Govin dealing with the critical shortage here, told newsmen in the national capital that not less than 50,000 Mexican farm workers will he} needed in California this season. Mr. Teague’s statement was based on sound knowledge of conditions in, California—and it is to be hoped that. Washington will recognize, in time, that half way measures will not do, if this state’s vast agricultural plant is to make its full contribution ‘to the food for victory program. California’s -farm manpower problem is much more acute than that in. most other states—and this is not said with any thought of minimizing the seriousness of the problems nationally. A major factor in aggravaiing the problem here was the fact that thousands of Japenese agricultural workers were removed from the state at the outbreak of war. As most of the Japenese farm workers were concentrated in this state, that created a drain of agricultural manpower in California in addition to all the other conditions which were draining ‘away farm labor in the country as a whole. Again, California agriculture was harder hit by loss of its workers to defense industries than any other section of the country, due to. this state’s leadership in war poduction. In no other state was there the whole sale exodus of farm workers to the cities which occurred here, although the farming industry generally lost many of its workers to war plants. Tre deferment of farm workers, ‘of course, will be of aid to California, as to all gther agricultural states but unhappily this is largely a case of locking the barn door after the horse has been stolen. Many of the experienced farmers and skilled farm hands are already gone and all that jan be done now by deferment of farm workers is to avoid making a bad situation worse. The furloughing of soldiers and sailors to assist in farm harvests, as suggested by the president, may or may not be of material aid in meeting the crisis, dependent on how it is handled. If farm boys are returned to the farm, under conditions which will permit them to stay until crops are harvested, they can be of real assistance, But if city born and city reared troops are sent into the harvest fields, while they can be used for picking fruit and other comparativey unskilled: work they, will not fill the need for trained farm hands. The same handicap exists in using school children to supplement the farm labor supply although a volunteer school army, properly supervised, can certainly help, and should be encouraged. California’s prdQblem, however, is both too big and. oo immediate “for part-way measures. The need here is for experienced’ farm. workers in great number. If our state department in Washington moves with determination and dispatch an army of 50,000 Mexican farm workers. undoubtedly can be organized in cooperation with the Mexican government and brought to California in time to meet the crisis this season. And if that is done, it will be a major factom in relieving the food crisis both» for our own country and for our allies, as this state has greater productive capacity than any other state in the union—if it has the men ‘to work the fields. Employment Office Jurisdiction Enlarged _ ‘Fred W. Mulloy, manager of the Grass Valley office of the ‘United Staltes Employment Service, states that his office now has jurisdiction over Placer County as well as of NeCounty. The establishment of a subordinate office at Newcastle, in Placer County, is being considered in order to provide help expeditiously for the fruit growers in that area. ‘Consumption of California wines jn all markets in 1942 was the highest ernor Warren to speed up federal aid! labor: ® EXPERT RADIO REPAIRING —. ;construction of old ones has been . virtually suspended for the duration lof the war, the report gave emphasis 'to the question of highway mainten. ance. “Tt is estimated that the decline in gasoline tax and registration fee receipts will reach about 28 per cent,” ed, “But normal maintenance costs 'represent only an average of 13 per cent of state highway dibursements. As for equipment, it is believed thare will be no actual shortage . for at least two years. “Therefore, the obvious conclusion is that the primary immediate problems regarding maintenance are material and labor.’’ Will of Mrs. Alma Cole "Sheldon: Filed for Probate The will of the late Mrs. ‘Alma Sheldon, who passed away last week, was filed Tuesday for probate by her son, Ward Sheldon, district attorney To her son, she bequeathed a one half interest in the Ravenna and Monogahela Mine.
