Nevada City Nugget — Monday, August 2, 1943. JUST WONDERIN’ ] wonder why Will Shakespeare asked, “What's ina name.” If he could walk the earth today, He’d find his own spelled, fame; And if to California He came to spend a sun bright day, He'd find in many a lovely name Complete essentials for a play. OG , Being in an inquisitive mood one day, William Shakespeare dipped his magic pen in vivid ink and propounded this question, what’s.in a name. The bard of Avon answered his ‘own query with the simple declaration, “a rose by any other name ‘would smell-as sweet.’ That may be true, but name and flower harmonize so delightfully that even a_ suggested change would meet with universal disapproval. It is surprising to find in how many languages of Latin and Germanic origin, a rose is still a rose. Appropriate names for persons, places and things create pleasant reactions in the mind and Californians know that in the names we have learned to love, there may be found his‘tory, romance, memories and golden dreams. The euphonious name, California, culled from an _ old ‘Spanish romance of the sixteenth century speaks to. us in "musical cadences of dreams that became realities and of realities that by far transcended and still transcend the legends from which it sprang. . Upon places and things -within the confines of California, early Spanish settlers bestowed a myriad names, the con-. tent of which is both historic and poetic. The names given our flowers are especially apt and charming and it is hoped that members of the garden clubs will collect and preserve them in all their original beauty. To the dark eyed adventurers from Sunny Spain, the roses of this western paradise were ‘las rosas de Castile,” the flaming poppies which so excited their wonder and admiration copa da orocup of gold, the dainty three peatled flower of vales and hills, mariposa, butterfly and when the sturdy yuccas sent up their towering, woody stalks and adorned them with numberless waxen bells, they were devoutly called, vela de Divs, or candle of God. The names of California towns, cities and communities, valleys and mountains, are no less delightful. They are names of gentle saints, bold conquistadores, explorers and adventurerers. Each one contains a story of the past and in combination they furnish material for another thousand nights of pleasurble entertainment. “What's ina name>’’ Music and mystery, history and romance, tragedy and comedy—all requisite materials for plays which Shakespeare, himself might have written, if he had been privileged to know our California. __ The names of California make music in our éars, They hold the rare enchantment of olden, golden years. . The Mission bells at eventide, the dim Franciscan trails And on the far horizon, the gleam of dauntless sails. — A. Merriam Conner. MARS INVADES THE KITCHEN It is a curious phenomenon of war that Mars, as if in partial atonement for the havoc ‘he has wrought, frequently ‘introduces inventions and innovations which better the lot_of mankind in times of peace. Not alone does this apply to such spectacular fields as aviation, radio and: medical discovery. This war is spawning processes which will affect the humblest and richest.homes in the land—apd which will even revolutionize that special domain of the housewife, the kitchen. Because of the war, a magic eye wil! open the door of to“Morrow's refrigerator at your first approach. Pots and pans will be as light as a feather ;-plastics will take the place of steel and aluminum. But one of the little noted by-products of this war is the development of dehydration of food—made necessary by the need for carrying more food in less shipping space. Today, that once mysterious term, dehydration, is on almost every housewifes tongue. And the woman who isn’t already making use of a home dehydrator in her kitchen is probably planning to investigate its. possibilities. Curiously enough, dehydration as a method of preserving food, dates back to long beforé the advent of canning— but it. took war to bring it into every day use by the American housewife. Indians in early day America uSed dehydration to make their perky and pemican. Arabs in the far-off Africa used it when they dried their figs and dates. The Chinese used it to preserve many of their foods. The early practice of dehydration however, was confined to such products as could be dried in the sun. __ It was not until the Yukon Gold Rush that modern dehydration, using mechanical contrivances, was born. Prospectors, to lighten their packs, looked for some means of reducing the bulk of their-loads—and found it. But with the end of _ the gold rush, interest in the process languished, until World _ War Il, with its shipping problems, revived it. The modern are of canning was born of Napoleon's need for a condensed _ food to sustain his marching armies. Dehydration was born of _ our needs in this war. We wonder what Mars thinks of it all. THE BATTLE OF BURMA ROAD _ This war is unique in one respect, at least—that before . smoke of battle has cleared on one front, the next major { can often be discorned, weeks or months before into action. : that was -true in the case of the allied invasion F "MERCHANT PIONEER OF SALEM Captain Jonathan Carnes of Salem;in 1796, accidentally discovered peppers soutce in Sumatra .America soon cornered the Pepper trade / In 7805 alone Salem reshipped to Europe, 7559244 pounds. \ [AER PEPPER.

Only the devastating speed and power of the attack ——and the comparative ease of the conquest were surprising. : With almost equal certainty and without divulging information of value to the enemy, we can look for a United Nations drive against the Japanese in Burma when the monsoon season ends in October. Every military consideration points to Burma as the only practical road into China, from which the major assaults against the Japanese home islands can be mounted. That such an offensive is in the making has been indicated by both President Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. The operations against Burma will parallel closely the successful invasion of Sicily. United Nations air bases in India are close enough to Rangoon and the other southern Burma ports to afford bombing facilities to pave the way for invasion. And once control of the southern coastal ports of Burma is gained by the allies, Jap troops in the interior will be trappe and isolated. eS. ‘There is one significant respect in which the campaign to open up the Burma Road differs from the problems encountered in the invastion of Sicily, however. Sicily was only a few miles removed from mainland Italian bases. But Japanese home bases are far distant from the Nip army in Burma—and the enemy’s supplies, if they get through, must run the gauntlet of allied submarines, which are already taking heavy toll of Japanese shipping. Watch the impending Battle of Burma Road. If we can win that battle, the signposts on the road to Tokio will be much nearer and clearer! ; THE SHANGRI-LA 5; The United States Navy, instigated and abetted by that lover of naval lore, Franklin D. Roosevelt, is about to break, a tradition. There are fairly strict rules for labeling ships of war; a battleship is called after a state, a heavy cruiser rates a big city, a light cruiser a small city, a destroyer honors some naval hera, or some distinguished friend of the Navy and a submarine takes the name of a fish or some animal that is at home in the water. Aircraft carriers enjoy more freedom, for they can be named after early fighting ships of our Navy or after battles. Thus the Saratoga, the Bonhomme Richard, the Kearsarge. But until now no ship has been named after an imaginary place, the creation of a story teller’s dream. ne is going to be so entltled. It is. of course, the Shangri-La. In a moment of inspiration President Roosevelt told the reporters that the planes which, bomber Tokyo took off from this never-never land of James Hilton’s invention. Actually their starting point was the rolling deck of the Hornet later lost in the Midway fight. So the new aircraft carrier, for which we are all being asked to buy an extra dollar's worth of war savings stamps this month, will bestow a triple honor; on Mr. Hilton’s bold imagination, on the lost Hornet and on the’ men who carried out what was probably the most spectacular air raid of history. Subscriptions for the Shangri-La are now well past the half way mark. We are promised that her planes will take part in another attack on Tokyo—exact date withheld fer reasons of security. Those who haven't contributed their dollars should do so at once. We don’t wish to keep the Japanese waiting— New York Times.
