eral Better Housing plans, Nevada county residents, generally speaking, are in a position not only to establish again
their own security but to aid the relatively few who are needy
and to promote the common weal whenever acceptable plans
are presented. ;
To add to the happiness of the season, the Newmont
company, which employs over 1,000 men in its several properties, has granted an extra holiday. The miners will celebrate this Christmas on both Tuesday and Wednesday. IdahoMaryland is giving a $5 bill to all its employes, numbering
425, and other companies are following suit by either grants
of time or cash. oi
4 While miasma of the depression has not entirely disap;
peared, the fog of dark uncertainty is gradually thinning, and
as the clouds lift a clearer perception of the national trend is
apparent. In general these things are becoming clear:
1. The great American public will-not much longer continue to be exploited by small, rich and powerful groups.
2. Wages may not be much increased but working hours
will be shortened.
3. The national ideal is turning to more beauty, more
leisure, more security, in the lives of common workaday folks.
4. Government regulation will play an increasing part in
all industrial and business activities and the bill people will pay
for these functions will continue to grow.
A new world is emerging so gradually from the depression that sometimes one must pinch oneself to realize the
changes that are taking place. But in general the change is
for the better, better relatively as compared with the years
since 1929, and better absolutely as compared with old system that fell to ruin in that year.
Our fears recede; our confidence grows.
