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 young children. old dreams awake and lost ambitions call. It is then that we ask of our individual selves “how far have ] has spearheaded the federal economy drive in over two years of hearings and investigations, palling growth of. bureaucracy = = ee graphically. portrayed the apin-federal government. Significant facts. which he developed about this growth were: . There are 3,063,379 paid ivilinet “employees on. the federal government payroll, excluding Waves, .Wacs, Spars, and the thousands of Army and Navy men in uniform who. are performing clerical work. $ < . 2. The federal civilian personnel is nearly 3 1-2 times greater than the peak of federal employment in the last World War. 3 The annual payroll of the civilian bureaucracy is more than $8,000,000,000, or about twice as much as the to‘tal cost of all operations of the including the Army and Navy. ‘government in the year 1932. a 4 Of the total civilian employees 30 pér cent are women and 70 per cent men. Nearly 1,000,000 of the male employees are of draft age. 5 Today the federal govenment has one civilian employee to every five soldiers; one employee to every 40 citizens. If we include county, municipal and state employees, person engaged in civilian work to every 25 citizens. 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.”’ —A,. Merriam Conner. 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 Saiz Kids’ in Washington bureaus. Ou: whole When practical men are shunted aside, and men who believe America can ‘bejisaved with magic words are pushed to the front, it is certai on country to assert themselves.
