The sound and fury die away, But peace will come in vain, Unless we seal our thoughtless lips With that one word, refrain. Once upon a time, not many years ago, there lived in the City of London, a lady of social prominence, who became known to the world at large, as “the women with the serpent’s tongue.” Now this lady’s hands were clean; she did not steal nor wield death dealing weapons, neither did her feet lead her into the paths of vlugar sin; but oh, the twisted mind and the, hissing tongue of her. With these she wrecked homes, destroyed young love, ruined careers and blasted spotless reputations. . doubht if any save members of her immediate family mourned her passing. I imagine that in many circles, pious voices were heard repeating the words of R. L. Stevenson, “thank God, an’ there's an end to that.” This is of course, an extreme case, but it demonstrates the dangerous extent to which the unleashed tongue may go, and the dire ruin which may follow in its wake. This is an era of transition in which great and remarkable adjustments are in the making. It will be no easy task to amalgamate forty or fifty nations into a cohesive whole that will function in the interests of all. There are many fine distinctions to be observed, many delicate balances to be maintained. Bigotry and prejudice must be laid aside, understanding and tolerance must be the order of the day. It is so easy to start a war, so difficult to hold the citadel of pece. Wars begin with litffe things; the lovely face of Helen “launched a thousand ships,”’ the flaming lust for power in the heart of one maniac led humanity into the second war. Who knows the potential power for evil which lurks in an unfounded rumor, the sly innuendo or the thoughtless expression of black suspicion? / Let's remember the ‘““woman with the serpent’ 4 tongue” and be sure that there is no poisonous barb upon’ our own tongues. We may criticize, to be sure, but let us base our criticisms upon well founded knowledge of the subject under consideration, in which there is ‘‘malice toward none.” That will make for the constructive criticism so needful at the present time and for the enlightened understanding upon which the peace we have won, may be preserved. “Yes, there were differences between us and there will be more; but the differéhces will pass and friendship will remain.” These words recently uttered by Generalismo Stalin should linger in our memories and suggest the greater issues for which we strive —A. Merriam Conner. PEACE AND EMPLOYMENT As mighty war machines the world over shudder «= and grind to a stop, we turn—confidently or in panic—to the winning of the peace. Most of us see this problem ‘in terms of hold. ing jobs, running businesses and operating farms. The problem, ir another sense, is one of finding ways of transforming the energy, resourcefulness, courage, nd imagination of our war making effort into instruments for peaceful living. In important ways the lessons of war cooperation can be applied especially to Northern and Central California ere as never before, we have discovered the rich dividends of working together as neighbors. This area has emerged from the war with a unity of effort and aims which should stand us in good stead. ‘In addition to our spirit of mutual assistance, we of this area have many other assets. The fundamental industry of the post war reconstruction is food. The world must be fed, and we can be certain that the great interior valleys and rich coastal stretches of this region will be called upon to help supply the hungry millions of the world. Moreover, this region of California, while delivering its full share of weapons and ships, has also developed a diversi-. fication of industry and small business which can and must, absorb much of the employment slack. They can be turned into the peaceful channels of reconstruction: lumber, minerals, . and their finished products—homes, appliances, furniture. petroleum products, and many specialties to bind up_ the wounds of the world. Finally, the sudden collapse of our Japanese enemy has been a windfall to this region. For many months we on _ the . Pacific Coast have feared that the rest of the country, freed from the European war, would be able to reconvert its industry while California would still be supplying the Pacific theatre. The quick ending of the war gives us of this area an equal opportunity to compete for the markets of a peace time world. How well we do will be a measure of how well we have learned the lessons of the war, chiefly the lesson of cooperative and concerted action. We believe we can swing it, let’s roll up our sleeves and prove it. —Contributed. POSTWAR ERA IS HERE San Francisco, which long ago took the first necessary steps to prepare for the troubled period of post war conversion and reconversion, has now taken the second. The Citizens’ Post War Planning Committee has brought in its report to _ Mayor Lapham, suggesting $177,454,040 worth of new developments and improvements, together with a plan for financing them as painlessly as possible. At the same time the Chamber of Commerce has announced that its “work pile’ of construction and eeppension projects now reaches $170,Nevada City Nugget _ . 000,000. ‘in California éan do this same nomy. Relative to its size and potenfialities, every community thing. Careful planning is the only way to insure smooth passage from war to peace ecdChief among the San Francisco Planning Committee's recommendations is one which will have immediate effect on all the state north of Tehachapi—a $20,000,000 enlargement of the San Francisco municipal airport, to enable it to accom. modate the planes of all the big national and international air‘lines, thus making San Francisco the principal airline focus of . . the west: Already this recommendation has been placed on the . ballot to be voted on at a special election November 6. i The value of such an enlargement of the San Francisco . airport to the surrounding territory is obvious, and incalculably great. Many cities which have had scant air service will now ‘have good air service stemming from this field to the benefit so many others, San Francisco’ lof their producers and manufacturers. In this instance, as in s gain will also be the gain of all Central and Northern California.—Contributed. FARM NEWS PEAR PICGERS ‘NEEDED The Farm Labor Office of the Agricultural Extension Service reports that pear pickerg are in demand in “Colfax and Chicago Park. The heavy crop of pears in this area requires an above normal number of forchard workers. Referrals to jobs may be sceured from the Labor Office in Newcastle, or by application directly to the packing houses in Colfax. DDT AND FLIES Further tests with DDT for control of flies in dairy barns will be carried on under the direction of the Agricultural Extension Service in Nevada County following a year of experimentation by the College of Agriculture of the University of California. ‘Results obtained with DDT = § to date in controlling flies have been most gratifying and because DDT is now vailable, farm advisors will carry on additional demonstrations in the various counties. In tests to date DDT has been used of DDT susepnsion direction for mixing and using DDT in dairy barns will be suppRied to dairymen who cooperate in further experiments. The following precautions are important in applying DDT in the barns: 1. All milk cans and other utensils must be removed from the washroom and milk cooling rooms. The milk cooler and sinks should be covered with heavy paper oy otherwise protected from ‘the spray. 2. ‘Care must be taken to avoid wetting foodstuffs. 3. The feed troughs should he hosed down just before the barn is sprayer and again as soon as spraying in ‘that portion of the barn is completed. 4. The spray -operator should Keep his skin as well protected as possible, and following each job he should thoroughly wash his hands and faces in soap and water. If spraying is done continuously and clothing ‘becomes heavily impregnated with the spray, a change of clothing is advisable. VETS MAKE SOUND INVESTMENT Veterans using accepted credit sources to finance purchasp of farm lands will prevent many blunders made by their comrades who finaneced through private sources, according to Arthur Shultis, specialist in farm management. Agricultural Extension Service, University of Cali‘fornia. Shultis explains that careful appraisals by financial institutions are a safeguard against the purchaser losing the property through assuming an indebtedness which cannot be paid out of future’ income. Evidence that many veterans are . aware of this fact is shown in the . loans already made by twelve federal land banks. During the nine months ending June 30, 1945 299 loans for $1,292,300 were made to veterans or their wives or husbands. “This implies that a substantiai number of returning able to finance their purchases on a sound basis,"* Shultis Said, ‘‘veterans or other persons who obtain a land bank loaneto buy a farm must make a substantial down payment and should have operating equipment. Most loans through the land ‘banks for the purchases of farms are ibeing made to buyers who have had expérience in farming.’’ veterans are CANNING: Fruits do not need sugar in canning to keep from -spoilage, but sugar helps hold flavor, color and shape, according to Jane Hodges, Emergency Food Preservation “ Assistant of the Agricultural Extension Service. Home makers who put up fruit with no sugar need to understand that it will not look or taste like that canned with sugar, but it may be sweetened to taste before it is served. Sugar may be dissolved in the juice of the canied fruits, or the juice may be heated with sugar or the use of this material in dairies of; dissolved in kerosene and asa spray . in water. Full: sirup before pouring it over the fruit. . Heating imereases the sweetness. . Each year commercial canners ijpack apples, peaches, bluberries and . eherries without sweetening for the Pore trade. The jars of fruit may be filled with juice or water instead of ithe’ usual sugar sirup. Juice is preferalble, and may be made from the riper, softer fruit which will not hold its shape in canning. ‘Fruits probably best suited to home canning with out.sweetening are peaches, apples, apricots and cherries. Even though everyone likes fruit canned with sugjari-im the present emergency mauy families may prefer lightly sweetened or unsweetened fruit to none. WHAT DOES THAT COUNTY’S NAME MEAN? San Bernardino: For the San Bernardino Sierra, which was named in honor of St. Bernard, patron of the mountain passes; San Bernardino is the Jargest county -in California, larger than eight state.
