The production and distribution of all needed things to all people concerned is a proper objective whether under social or prviate auspices. Full employment—that ugly phrase that means every man with a ‘row to hoe— is without validity as a. proper social objective. It violates good sense. It especially violates the inborn nature of the people of a nation who have learned to. hoe so many of their rows . by shifting the work harness to steam and electric engines. We err with our use of. the word ‘unemployment.” The word for it is leisure. We err in proposing taxes as a way—either to support leisure or to cure leisure ‘by filling in the unemployed time with unnecessary work. The ‘way to supply the wants of both the millions of actually needed workers and also. the wants of the one or twenty million unneeded unemployed or at leisure people, is to be found in the phrase goods distribution, but not in the phrase dollar taxation. Let dollars be made to,reflect the nature of produced godds and the nature of a constant flow of goods, from the produetion line into cop-. sumption and, thence into the scrap heap for reconvesion and re-use. Then. let dollars talk—-but do not make them scream. Thus will the backers of Jesse Jones and. also the backers of Henry Wallace be able to . discontinue their’ restless nights and, their tiresome dialogue. SERVICE MEN’S WIVES ARE GUESTS Wives of service men living in this community were special guests at yesterday . afternoon’s meeting of the Nevada City Civic Club. A series of moving. pictures were shown and refreshments were served. The meeting was held in the auditorium of the Elementary School. Four billion dollars worth of re lic: construction is a lot of work, es pecially when compared with that in j pre-war which throughout the wast averaged 700,000,000 dollars each year. The above does not inélude the unestimated but much greater amount.to be spént in post war private construction of new buildings, homes and universal repairs. ‘Surveys have determined that. over one half of the inmigrant workers intend to remain in this region and a large number of military personnel are also interested in locating permanently. From 1940 to 1943 the population in the west increased by 12 per cent in contrast with a 3 Jer cent decline for the country ag a whole, and there are logical indications that there will be a fifteen million population west of the Rockies after the war, giving the west 14 per cent of the entire United States instead of 8.6 per cent as in 1940.° These people have money—not a small amount of it either—and are waiting to use it. Contray to a somewhat,common notion the majority of War workers are not spendthrifts. For example, at the Kaiser Richmond Shipyards just under one half vi million dollars in war bonds are Pur-{ been chased weekly, and treasury depart-. ment records show that less than 10 . per cent of these have been tashed. . The same runs true for members of other war industries. Finally, as we have, agricultural California. Here 90 per cent of the farms plan repairg of some kind and usually of a considerable nature. ~$So, looking only at and leaving aside the demand—also in billions—thert will be for every kind of household and personal necessity and luxury; California can think with confidence about bridging the gap between war production and a healthy peace time economy. Given careful planning, courage, vision and hard’ work in industrial tide of California ¢an no more be turned*back nor slackened than the tides’ which wash its eoastline. ‘Save-the-Redwoods construction” FL ECATES W WILL SEE REDWOODS Selection of San Francisco as the meeting place for an international conference where the foundations of a permanent peace organization will ‘be laid is in line with a suggestion made in the summer of 1942 by the League, which proposed that a California site be chosen for the peace conference, and that the statesmen attending should visit the giant redwood groves which are distinctive of California.” Dr. John ©. Merriam, one of the founders of the league, in his annual message in August, 1942, said: “Tt may be that for the statesmen who settle those great questions (of peace conference) in which time is a critical element we should recommend a sojourn of at least a few hours in a redwood temple, where time must be-faced and in some { : measure appreciated,”’ The proposal that conferences of statesmen: planning permanent peace 'should be held in California,” with isits to the redwood ~ groves, has widely publicized by the Savethe-Redwoods League in the past . two years.

IN ORCHARDS An increasing need for farm labor on the fruit farms of Placer County and adjoining area is reported Dy Ellsworth L. Martinelli, Farm Placement ‘Manager of the Agricultural Extension Service. An acute. shortage of housing adds to the difffculty of finding workers for current job orders. The number of workers asking for placement through the Farm Labor office during the past week has decreased greatly, with few workmtn from other areas coming into the county. If farmers have housing facilities for immediately needed. workmen, it is suggested that they go to the Farm Labor office at 1107 2nd Street, Sacramento and provide transportation to the job. Probability of a farm labor shottago so acute that the Extension: Service may again be faced with the unPleasdnt task of rationine the supply of Mexican nationls was discussed by Martinelli in a statement setMartinelli said the office of labor be brought to trial for the killing ot .

The above does not inélude the unestimated but much greater amount.to be spént in post war private construction of new buildings, homes and universal repairs. ‘Surveys have determined that. over one half of the inmigrant workers intend to remain in this region and a large number of military personnel are also interested in locating permanently. From 1940 to 1943 the population in the west increased by 12 per cent in contrast with a 3 Jer cent decline for the country ag a whole, and there are logical indications that there will be a fifteen million population west of the Rockies after the war, giving the west 14 per cent of the entire United States instead of 8.6 per cent as in 1940.° These people have money—not a small amount of it either—and are waiting to use it. Contray to a somewhat,common notion the majority of War workers are not spendthrifts. For example, at the Kaiser Richmond Shipyards just under one half vi million dollars in war bonds are Pur-{ been chased weekly, and treasury depart-. ment records show that less than 10 . per cent of these have been tashed. . The same runs true for members of other war industries. Finally, as we have, agricultural California. Here 90 per cent of the farms plan repairg of some kind and usually of a considerable nature. ~$So, looking only at and leaving aside the demand—also in billions—thert will be for every kind of household and personal necessity and luxury; California can think with confidence about bridging the gap between war production and a healthy peace time economy. Given careful planning, courage, vision and hard’ work in industrial tide of California ¢an no more be turned*back nor slackened than the tides’ which wash its eoastline. ‘Save-the-Redwoods construction” FL ECATES W WILL SEE REDWOODS Selection of San Francisco as the meeting place for an international conference where the foundations of a permanent peace organization will ‘be laid is in line with a suggestion made in the summer of 1942 by the League, which proposed that a California site be chosen for the peace conference, and that the statesmen attending should visit the giant redwood groves which are distinctive of California.” Dr. John ©. Merriam, one of the founders of the league, in his annual message in August, 1942, said: “Tt may be that for the statesmen who settle those great questions (of peace conference) in which time is a critical element we should recommend a sojourn of at least a few hours in a redwood temple, where time must be-faced and in some { : measure appreciated,”’ The proposal that conferences of statesmen: planning permanent peace 'should be held in California,” with isits to the redwood ~ groves, has widely publicized by the Savethe-Redwoods League in the past . two years.

IN ORCHARDS An increasing need for farm labor on the fruit farms of Placer County and adjoining area is reported Dy Ellsworth L. Martinelli, Farm Placement ‘Manager of the Agricultural Extension Service. An acute. shortage of housing adds to the difffculty of finding workers for current job orders. The number of workers asking for placement through the Farm Labor office during the past week has decreased greatly, with few workmtn from other areas coming into the county. If farmers have housing facilities for immediately needed. workmen, it is suggested that they go to the Farm Labor office at 1107 2nd Street, Sacramento and provide transportation to the job.
