NEVADA CITY NUGGET MONDAY, AUGUST 25, 1941. Page Two Nevada City Nugget 305 Broad Street. Phone 36. A Legal Newspaper, as defined by statute. Printed and Published y at Nevada City. . H. M. LEETE ~ Editor and Publisher Published Semi-Weekly, Monday and Thursday at Nevada City, California, and entered as mail matter of the second:class in the postoffice at Nevada City under Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES Cne year (In Advance) One Month HELP WANTED: FEMALE Signs of the times: e Seattle—Educational and employment leaders are workang on a program to prepare thousands of women to step into defense industries shou!d the need arise. Philadelphia—Attractive young girls are, being put to work as filling station attendants. __ San Diego—Consolidated Aircraft corporation plans to hire women for mechanical work. ne _ These instances could be multiplied over and over again —and they all add up to the fact that a war economy, as one of its blessing in-disguise helps to bring a measure of sexual equality in the nation’s factories, offices, fields, and shops. It is an undeniable fact, though perhaps @ great pity, that ‘democratic America in normal times is forced to talk about its constitutionally guaranteed equality.of.race.and sex as something still to be achieved or something that exists in theory only. ee The only reason why women are being trained and enLesa \euvuvomnsbuswcuute $3.00 30 cents + couraged now to do work that previously. has been regarded: as ‘men’s jobs’, of course, is that the nation faces an acute labor shortage, and is being forced to tap this great untouched labor pool. In 1917 and 1918, when the nation’s productive machinery was running full tilt and many of its men were either overseas or being trained to go over, economic equality between the sexes became more of an accomplished fact than ever before. Women began taking over men’s jobs in factories, offices and shops at a tremendous rate. And they were paid wages which would have looked good to most men a year or two earlier.

Phone 984, 2-19tf Symbol of Our Way of Life I wonder, little pixie thoughts, That come to one quite willy-nilly, If you have power within yourselves To make one permanently silly. I wonder how everyday folk can keep from turning mental sommersaults, when great minds of earth are so_ eerily acrobatic. For instance, noted scientists are debating the question, “are babies human?’’ Of course babies are human and the younger they are, the humaner. All scientists should know this, if they are not far advanced toward their own second babyhood, which is not at all unlikely. Even more significant as a long term trend, however, was the fact that the war ended the notion that a woman's place was in the home, and did away with the social taboos against many kinds of work that had been regarded as unladylike in the pre-war years. . To an extent; this condition was temporary, and ended when the boys came home from Europe to replace the women who had moved into their jobs. There were enough women . who proved their worth and kept their jobs, however, so that the 20’s and 30's became years in which thousands of women had a chance to make good on careers that previously had been denied them. » But throughout the labor movement during these years, there lingered a prejudice against women and Negro laborers, due principally to the fact that these groups were lower-salaried competitors of white male workers. Now we are in another period where there is a crying need for skilled and semi-skilled labor—whether it be white or black,.male-or female. And by. the time this trend has run its course. we may exvect to find that the process of equality which was started in the first World War has been carried a Jot closer to its conclusions by the second one.

Not long ago I heard two ladies talking about reincarna_tion, but not with the enthusiasm of old. With the world qutie berserk, reincarnation isn’t so appealing. Once away from the general madness, who wishes to come back and take the chance of finding conditions unimproved? That reminds me of a little story concerning Ella Whee!er Wilcox. Ella was a reincarnationist. Once in speaking of her belief to a group of friends, she declared that she remembered previous states of existence. She had been the Queen of Sheba. Ella reported details in a rather convincing manner and the listeners were all agog until one irreverent person said, “Ella, you were not the Queen of Sheba, you were one of the five foolish virgins.”’ I once knew a woman who declared herself to be ‘‘an old soul’’. She traveled a great .deal and was always coming upon places that she had visited in a previous state of existence. She had a marvelous memory—why, that woman could remember events which happened when she was a mere infant. Well; so can I. I seem to recall one crowded hour of my own inglorious infancy. I, at the age of six weeks, was arrayed in. robes of state and taken to a place called church. This being my first public appearance, . was peered at and oh-ahed over by friends of the family until an organ sounded and the meeting was called to order. After preliminary ceremonies, . was borne down the aisle and presented to an important personage who uttered strange words and did things with water. One big drop ran down my nose, took off and cracked up on my chin. Up to that moment, my behavior had been exemplary, but now . shrieked, waved my arms and kicked till my long, flowing garments rose and fell like Pharphar’s far famed fountain. \ : WATCHES CLEANED, $1.00.

The fact is, that in later times, I heard the awful scene described so often by . “ousins, aunts and uncles, that it formed one of those mental images which are so often mistaken for personal recollection. So. if you visit a strange place and find it vaguely familiar, don't go esoteric. No doubt you have seen pictures of the place, a colored post card, or have heard it described by some one who had visited the scene.
