Se Thinking Out Loud By H. M. L. ae ne State Senator Jesse Mayo, editor of the Calaveras Prospect of San Andreas, writes a column in his paper, called, ‘“‘Private Opinions Publicly Expressed.’’ In the current issue there appears a thoughtful commentary on two matters of immediate interest to all intelligent citizens. One is upon the sorry spectacle of congressmen begging favors from bureaus which they have created and _ to which they have given legislative powers, and the other is the housing situation as it affects war industrial centers and the self-depopulated villages and towns of the rural afd mountain areas of California. This is what he says: “The sigh of 100 members of congress, mostly om. the west, pleading with OPA not to go through with the December 1 -gas rationing, is certainly a sorry spectable in. the history of representative government. The fact that members of congress, whom, the Constitution charges with making laws, saw fit to surrender that right andfconstitutional obligation to an administrative agency, only to have 100 members go hbefore that agency with their hats in hand begging for the suspension ‘of an order which has the force and effect of law, certainly doesn’t make the ‘people respect their representatives. we should have a wartime necessity, (the Baruch committee said it was), is not the point at _ issue here. The ‘point here is that members of congress and of state legislatures have been too lazy to sit down and make what laws are necessary, but have for the past 15 or 20 years merely written laws giving this or that agency blanket authority to do just about anything it might choose to or with the American people. And when the kick-+back comes from the general public, these same legislators have to humble themselves before these agencies ffi order to stave off defeat at the next election. Is it any wonder, after watching our representatives for these many years that Hitler and his motley crew thought they could take’ us into camp. “Whether rationing as gas “San Franicisco has a real housing shortage says an article in the bay newspapers and that rooms for civilians and soldiers alike cannot be found. It would seem that many apartments, flats, and even. homes could be relinquished in San Francisco by those who are merely “living’’ there and that homes could be found for them in the rural districts, such as, the Mother Lode, where the draining off of workers to the large centers has left vacancies in thesé’parts. “Not only would such move help the housing ‘shortage in the bay district, but the moving of nonessential families from that center to the Mother Lode would help maintain rural California’s. economic life to such an extent that ‘after the war mutch of the dislocation of labor and industry would be eliminated. After the war the whole problem Would ‘be merely one of éxchanging places of residence with those who were forced bo move to the bay district to work in the war industries and those who left the city to make room for the incoming workers. “The success of such a program will, of course, depend much upon the outcome of gasoline rationing and the length of time it takes tov. begin producing enough rubber to return to something near normal for automobile transportation. For those leaving the cities for homes in the country would certainly demand avenues of transportation back to the city for frequent visits in order not to be isolated in the. country. The inauguration of such a program would seem to be the job for the State Council of Defense when it is reorganized after January 1.” Tom Leggs Now Drives Navy Truck, Tom Legg, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Legg of this city, writes that he is now in Noumea, New Caledonia, having been transferred from sea duty in the Navy to driving a truck. is inferred from his letter that in all probability he was on orie of seven destroyers recently sunk by the Japs near the Solomons, though Legg, because say so. He is driving.a navy truck. His letter follows: Dear Folks: Please pardon the long delay between letters but just have not felt like writing. Am beginning to feel normal and relaxed again and ‘hope, for a while at least to really be able to write frequently. It surely seems good to be on dry land again and” doing more familiar work. I am driving truck now and hope I can stay here for , awhile. Driving for the navy is a snap as we dont have to load or unload our trucks. We either have 4 or 6 helper or else a crane or both. The best part about it is that I get to see a lot more of the country than ‘if I was working at the station here. This place is the closest thing to home I have hit so far, good hot days and. clear skys but the nights are warm. The things I enjoy most are the hills not:as rugged as at home but good respectable. mountains coming dowm close to the ocean. We are living in tents but I dont mind in the least and it is sure swell to be able to take a little walk once in a while. I never knew before that walking is fun. Your mail is coming through very well now ‘that I am in one spot and I received your pacKages for which I give you many thanks. The best thing is ‘that I got them after my arrival so haven’t lost them as I did everything eles. have At Noumea It of consorship rules, does not I got Dad’s Nov. 7th letter and was suré glad to hear from him. I am glad things are at, last turning in our favor. Now maybe he will write oftener. We are all feeling very optimistic wut here but still realize we are just starting up the long pull to the top but am sure the Japs have made as strong a bid as they could and their failure was magnificent. We sure gave them hell. I am heartbroken, they are supposed to sell us two bottles. of beer .three days a’ week here and today was the first time I have had a chance to get any and so they called it off. I was all primed for a good ‘bottle of beer especially since I am all hot, dusty and thirsty having just icome off the truck but life in the navy is full of disappointments like that, so I should be used to it. I would sure give a lot for some ice cream or beer or something like that. I get into Neumea several times a! day. but can’t get anything there. . Well folks I sure hope this finds everyone well and happy and not suffering too much from the sugar,} coffee and gas rationing back there. Pass this around the family and I will try -to write more and better! letters. ‘ . . Love to ail, Tom Legg. . . EARTHQUAKE WAKES UP NEVADA COUNTY ‘An earthquake, dealing out two distinct shocks, woke Nevada County residents this morning at 2:37 o’clock.

C., Dec. 3.—A reicent survey by the Gallup poll revealed that 78% of Americans have bought War Bonds or Stamps. ‘Reporters for the ‘poll asked a representative cross section of the voting population this question: “Do you happen to have bought any war bonds or stamps?” Yes— 78 per cent. No—22 per cent. Dr. George H. Gitinp. head of the Institute of Public Opinion, said the findings were splendid testimony to the effectiveness of! the Treasury Department’s War Savings Campaién. Seeking the answer togthe failure of one out of every five adult Americans to buy War Bonds or Stamps, Dr. Gallup made a further study and found that two large segments of the population—the lower income group and farmers, are responsible for this situation. Following is a table comparing the purchase by the various groups: Middle income and well todo— have bought 90: per cent; have not bought—10 per cent: Lower income group—have bought —68 per cent; have not bought —32 per cent. Farm group—have bought 71 per cent; have not bought—-29 per cent. Cities (10,000 or over) have bought—81 per jicent; have not bought—19 per cent. A breakdown of the ‘bond stamp purchases by occupations reveals that the professional man, the businessman, and the white collar workers are well ahead of other oceupational groups in their bond and stamp buying. NATIONAL PTA URGES CHILD REGISTRATION A definite program for’ the registering and identification of children is. being advocated by the National Congress of Parents and Teachers. ‘A telegram was sent to President Roosevelt by the Board of Managers meeting recently in Atlanta, Georgia, requesting that a uniform’ method for this be established. Mrs. Edward T. Hale, president of the California Congress was appointed by the National Board as a member of the nationwide committee to make immediate plans for putting into effect such a project. Says Mrs. Hale, ‘out of thirty two states reporting only four have a plan partially in effect, sixteen have no state wide plan and eleven are doing very limited work. and California. is doing organized work in the cities. Only Utah has a state wide plan in full operation.” ‘Mrs. Hale represented the Califorhia congress at the National Recreation Congress meeting in Cincinnati September 28 to October 2. She was a discussant at one of the sessions on the question,” ‘Meeting the Normal Needs of Children in Wartime.” SURGICAL DRESSINGS WILL BE MADE BY LOCAL RED CROSS The Nevada City Chapter of Red Cross will start making Red Cross surgical dressings.
