1 wonder if Christmas is coming,
To solace life’s sorrow and pain,
To lighten the weight of our burdens
And bring back the Day Star again; .
To promise earth's soul weary captives
‘A sure and a happy release
And hallow the joy: of the season
With the sweet, olden message of peace.
Foch vear. at the apnroach of Yuletide. a gate swings
wide ard through its mystical portals, the Spirit of Chri tmas
comes to wall for > time «ith us-along the rpgged paths of
life. We cannot cee the gentle spirit ashe takes his vlace
among us, but w> know thet he is heve and in the bearty of
his presence, we attune our hearts to hear the message he
brings. ;
Christmas 1943, comes to a world where hope abounds.
Even the lowliest captive feels a thrill of expectancy and sees
the day of deliverance drawing near. The world is emerging
from the darkest night that ever fell upon it. Skies grow
brighter. Humanity is watching for the dawn.
Weicannot celebrate Christmas 43, with the care free
hilarity which marked many occasions of the past; but we
have escaped from the gloom which enveloped us a short
twelve months ago and we now feel assured that a new age
is coming to birth and we are determined that its ways shall
be ways of pleasantness and that i's paths shall be paths of
Peace. :
In America. the lights are on again, joy bells ring from
shore to shore. We, of the western continent, have taught the
world that sovereign nations may dwell tog'ther in peace and
harmony, linked together by common hopes and fears, desires and purposes, animated by the common determination
to evard and keen intact the riehts and liberties guaranteed
by the flags which float above them.
Y>letide is a time of memories -—memories of many a
Christm=s ~est. Olden scenes come back to haunt us with
their wistful beauty. Friends, comrades and dear ones “visit
us once more.” ee
Yuletidetis a time of introspection; in the presence of

TAHOE FOREST AREA
YIELDS 100,000 ee
CHRISTMAS TREES
Christmas trees for 100,000 homes
reports Guerdon Ellis, supervisor of
the Tahoe national forest, will bring ;
the cheer of the forest to the busy
city -jwar worker and business. man
and ‘their families during the holiday season. —
Ellis states that Christmas tree
sales are one of the Tahoe fores:’s
major activities. Twenty forest officers have ‘been busy since! early in
October supervising cutting on the
Christmas tree sale areas. The Tahoe
national forest makes sales on gov-,
ernment owned land and on privately
owned lands where the owner has
entered into a cooperative agreement
with the forest service to supervise
removal of Christmas trees from private lands. The Crown Zellerbach
Paper Company, Southern Pacific
Land Company, and Pacific Gas and
Electric Company are the larger ownerso“who. have entered into cooperative agreement with the forest! service to supervise. their Christnras
tree operations. Many smaller owners have also taken advantage of
this arrangement. For this supervis.
ion of private sales the forest service . !
receives 10c per tree} which goes into salaries for lengthened employment of forest guards who are local
residents of the cOMmunities where
the Christmas trees are cut.
With some 50,000 private land
Christmas trees cut this year benefit to local communities amounts to
a sizeable income. Payrolls and purchases of contractors cutting Christmas trees. also runs into a large figure, practically all of which goes into local business channels.
Ellis, states that approximateiy
60,000 Christmas trees were sold
from government lands with a total
value of approximately $25,000, will
be of direct benefit to local. county
government and property owners as
25% of all salesof forest products
from government. lands is returned
to the counties. The counties receiving returns from. Christmas tree
saleson the Tahoe national forest
‘are Placer, Sierra, and Nevada Counties.
AN APPRECIATION
The Nevada City Chamber of
Commerce wishes to thank Mr. Lambert Thomas, and son, *Alan, Andy
‘Chan, Hunt Rombo, who gathered
many of the-trees and Mr. Earl Holbrook who donated the truck to
bring the trees to Nevada> City.
Also, thanks are due Mr. Holbrook
and Robert Gates who donated many
of the ‘beautiful trees placed on
Broad street, and finally, but definitely not last to Mr. Herb Hallett
and the city crew. for placing’ them
on the streets. -If it were-not for
these public spirited citizens it would,
have been impossible to secure-and’
place these trees. =
progressed on the path which seemed so clearly defined and so
desirable, when . was as one of these little ones.’
Yuletide comes to the world of today with gifts of confidence and courage for the presen’, assurance and high hope
for the future and with promises of many a Yuletide to be, resplendent in the light of peace and warm with the humanities
of good will among men. :
The lights are on again in America. It is our high destiny
to aid in building a brighter and better world for all humanit. Advance, hearts courageaus, “““God bless us, everyone.”’

WASHINGTON QUIZZ KIDS
Many of the practical business men who were “‘drafted”’
to take what they thought to be reasonable jobs in the national capital during the war emergency are resigning in disgust
—and returning,/not too happily, to private life. . They are
men who ordinarily would “‘stick it,’ so long as they had a
chance to do a job and serve their country and so what they
have to say, on quitting the rarefied atmosphere of Washington, is not to be lightly discounted.
Lou B. Maxon, a top-grade advertising executive, recently relinquished his job as deputy administrator of OPA, for
éxample—and in quitting he warned business men that they
must take the lead in awakening’ the American people “to
the dangers of arbitrary regimentation.”” Then, speaking spec. /
ifically, he said: “‘On the face of it, grade labeling is a plan to
group food products according to their quality and identify
them as grade A. B or C. But the next step will be a flat price
and then we will have an end to competition—the very thing
that has brought about America’s high standard of living.”
The Washington theorists, reports Mr. Maxon, are de-.
termined to place all products—from canned corn to automo‘biles—under strict grade labeling. Butthen he has this significant statement to make:
“This era in Washington will be known as the ‘dreamer’s+
field day.’ The man who can think up a rosier picture apparently doesn’t need more than words in today’s bureaucratic
planning. The men who can build a better house or a better
business——I mean realistically—are strictly on the bench,
while the mythical game of progress is being played ty the
