Nevada City Nugget A Legal Newspaper, as defined by statute. Printed and Published at Nevada City. H. M: LEETE Editor and Publisher Published Semi-Weekly, Monday and Friday 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, SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year (In Advance) +, eh War In Asia Suppose. you want an Alaska gold mine. You /hurry to Alaska, drive off the mine-cwners at a gun-point, solemnly asserting: “Very sorry, but . must defend my home and honor.” Your home is two thousand miles away, and your honor, in ‘this instance, is a throbbing desire for gleaming gobs of gold. That, in effect, is exactly what the Japanese are again smugly doing in China. They're defending themselves, they say. It’s a kind of defense the world could do with a whole lot less of. However, the slumbering Chinese Dragon woke up once last week and biffed the Japanese smack on the nose, and was re. pulsed. But when the flashy Japanese. lightweight has drained . Ahis strength drubbing the giant Chinese Hercules, old Flercu. ‘Tes will still be standing there: Though broadswords, machine guns, and soalae bombs are battering Chinese and Japanese warriors, this is not ‘War. Japan refuses to call it that so far, When planes rained bullets and poison gas on fleeing Ethiopians two years ago, Mussolini didn’t call it War. Today when German regiments open fire on the Spanish lines, Hitler doesn’t call it War. And for good reason. These dictator-muscle-men with the false hair on their chests are afraid to call it War. They rightly suspect that in the world’s great democracies people despise Wer as an instrument of power. They know liberty-loving people are beginning to think common. sense and understanding make better weapons than blood and bullets. Dictatorships, mental‘ly’sick, use violence to get their way, but they’re terrified to call it War. They know full well they can’t risk the hate democracies have for that ugly word. Who Deals the Deathblow? . . — They don’t know it yet, and neither do you nor I, but a week from this moment in which your eyes are moving over this line of type, more than half a hundred Californians will _ die. Some of them are brighiceved kids shvieking with laughter in the theatre tonight; others are oldsters dreaming tranquilly by the window of the mellow-memoried past; still others are this moment making stalwart plans for the long highroad between 21 and 60. Half a hundred of these will be struck down by sudden death within a week from this moment. Some of them will be our friends. All of them will be beloved‘by’someone.” ‘And neither war nor pestilence will cut them down. The death-blow will come hurtling at them, with the dizswiftness of a lightning bolt, from a person, from someone like ourselves. The death-blow will be dealt by someone—possibly your neighbor or mine—who, carelessly releasing the wheel of his car, cups his hands for a match-light. Or who thinks he can surely pass a car on this curve— no traffic this time of night, you know. Or who indulges his weakness for driving through an intersection like a lion through a blazing hoop. How many more thousands yearly must have their lives snuffed out before all of us learn that good driving is good sportsmanship, that courtesy and fair play — the qualities every American demands of clean, decent sportsmanship— aren't restricted to the gridiron or. diamond? And that good sportsmanship comes into play every time we climb into the driver's seat of our car? If a word to the wise is sufficient, what wiser wofd could there be for all believers in fair play than: Good Sportsmanship on the road! : ————_———]. _.

Mr. Lewis has achieved in one fell swoop what-many authors have died striving for, a perfect simplicity. This book, part biography, part history, part legend, is a style gem. It is completely sincere and achieves a graphic portrayal of the romance of an already romantic town, Virginia City, Nevada. The tale unfolds the reminiscences of his grandmother, who as a bride at the age of 16 or so came to Virginia City to make her home, and who now, at the ripe age of 90 stil) lives on the Divide clinging to that same home and her memories. There has been some criticism on the part of the present residents of Virginia City as to the truth of the story, but truth or fantasy it is nevertheless a book that will entrance you, and if Virginia City appealed to you before reading it, I guarantee. that after reading it vou will tuck it under your arm, crank up the faithful chariot, and hie you to Nevada to re-investigate all the things you are sure to have missed before. That Virginia City is a ghost town is not now, strictly true. Mining activities in recent years have to a certain extent repopulated it and beyond that it is fast becoming a tourist’s mecca. -My impression is that Mr. Lewis’ book has done much to draw the public attention to Virginia City, and I regret deeply that the citizens do ngt see fit to open to the public the old Pyper Opera House, . and of the famous old newspaper offices or other points of interest. The beautiful Catholic church worthy of a visit and the town itself jis a living monument to 'thevroaring rowdy days of the great glory of the Comstock. ‘If Virginia: City and does’ not’ particularly Mr. Lewis’ delicate portrayal of Grandmother Flannery should be full of appeal, for believe me, in this age of verbosity this simple, direct and Aemeathetie: book: is refreshing indeed. is its history interest you, Dorothy Parker has combined the best of three previous volumes SunDeath and Taxes, and into one -volumn under the title of ‘Not So Deep As a We Serve ‘ SPECIAL BHO LUNCH ON WEEK DAYS 11:30 to 2:30 National Hotel Cole a hen Well?” published by Viking Press, New York. The result is a more than entertaining collection of racy poems with a few serious moments thrown in for good measure. Those of you who enjoy sparkling satire will enjoy this book by a lady who is famed for her wit, and who writes most of the time with her tongue in her cheek. ; There are-some lovely. lines in these. poems, and if one finds oneself waxing lyrical about them one is usually brought back to earth with a bang by some delicious or malicious piece of buffoonery. That Miss Parker definitely knows her verse forms is indisputable and her technique is consequently smooth and polished. Her greatest charm lies in her unexpectedness, enfant terrible of current poets one is never quite sure what she will say next, but one can be assured whatever it is will be definitely apropos and probably pretty personal. For a dull day when the old spirit is groveling I can think of no quicker pick-me-up than this versatile volumn from the pen of a vesatile persouality. ROY GRIFFHS DEETER.
