MONDAY, FEBRUARY 23. 1942. 2 The ses og Seat Paper : (= : > ThinkingOut Loud By H. M. L. Whether the war lasts for one year or ten years, one thing we believe. .all Americans who deplore war and do not wish to see another within their life times, should be now considering: What kind of peace shall the democracies establish to prevent another ideological fakir from ‘promoting another Armageddon? When anyone says: “Well let’s finish the war first,’ ‘we consider it merely a bit of sidestepping and at best loose think, ing. If we are fighting for the democratic ‘‘way of life’, we must make some sort of pattern for the future when this war is done. For, unless the democratic way of life is established as the best-way of life for the majority of earth’s inhabitamts, we shall very certainly have another war, sooner, or later and probably sooner. To any person who will “think things through,’ it must. be as clear as crystal, that if we.win the war and lose the peace, the entire prodigious effort for victory in war has been worse than wasted. Winning the war, .of course, will convince many nations that the democracies are mighty. They have the man power dnd the natural and industrial resources to win. Since this is so, they may reason further that inherently, by natural Jaw, or what not, they are swperior to peoples who submit to dictator governments. But this is not true unless the system under which we live can ‘be expanded to include all peoples of enqgal or similar enlightenment, or who have reached a plane of average intelligence equivalent to that on which we live. brillian declarBartley C¢. Crum, young California attorney, es: “This war is not a struggle between national interests, but a head-on conflict between philosophies of life so utterly at variance they cannot survive side by side on the same planet! “The real danger the war is won and world faces the most decision of many centuries, for unless we use our brains and make proper plans, all the evils, which followed the last war will return, immensely enlarged, after this one. “In the uneasy years of the last peace, it became clear! that the organizations: we! had ‘inherited or improvised were no longer able to do the job. At the end of this war, we face a new world based on certain values that we Americans have established and developed. “If the United Nations, having won the war, are then to win the peace and create a post-war world of democracy and decency, they must give the world something demonstratively better than the best our enemies can offer—and no world organization to preserve peace. can succeed without the full participation of the United States.” Here: are Mr. Crum’s. specific suggestions for the new world order: A community of nations, a com-, mon currency and a common trading system. A pooling, mon benefit, of world resources of a will be when the whole * important essential metals, minerals and rawmaterials. A great campaign for the fast developmient of the economic resources of the world, and world trade for the benefit of all peoples. Balancing of our national ‘production-consumption budget on a high level, with full employment. Decentralization of our, post-war activities. The utmost use of our system off modified free enterprise, with its volumtary employment, its special rewards for efforts, imagination and improvement, its elasticity and competition. The future of human society depends as at no time in the records of man, Crum observes, on our capacity to understand why we have become involved, on our farsightedness in visioning the future, on our willingness to keep the ‘forces of cooperation and good will in control both at home and abroad. — ~ ' “Phe program,” he concludes, “is not altruism, but only enlightened, long range selfishness—the game kind that forces us to rec‘ors have adopted the position a pay . . increase . because of increased operating cost . -while the price of their product has for comIs Labor Trouble Again Brewing For Nevada County Mining Industry?

Plant enough § for one month’s supply of each at one time. “15—Use good seed, disease resistant varieties. : 16—Soil moisture and fertility are essential for success. 17—Irrigation should be frequent and shallow. 18—Essential tools are: rake, trowel and hoe and sprayer or duster. : An important meeting of the local Chamber of Commerce will be held in the organization’s headquarters in the city hall here tonight. Further discussion of the cantonment will take place at the meeting and a large attendance is desired. Secretary H. F. Sofge has invited members of the PTA, BP'WC, Women’s Civic Club and the reverends of the community to attend the meeting. In the absence of President Guerdon Ellis and Vice President H. E.

Lewis was ranger of the’ North Bloomfield district ‘but lived in Nevada City. Previously he had been called for duty but did not pass the physical examination.

The answer was “No.’’ “You fellows,’’ Calanan said “are not desérving of living in this country.

Candidates for Treasurer and tax collector candidates fees are $63; assessor the highest of all in this county, $110; county superintendent of schools, $54, recorder $64 and district attorney $10. :The fees are based on salaries over $2500. It’s surprising what one will hear on ‘Broad Street if he keeps his ears open. This remark by a woman in a2 conversation with a companion gave us a chuckle: “She came over to our house and asked me to cut her toe nails. I told her nothing doing. ‘If you’re that bad off,’ I said, ‘you can go to the county hospital and they’ll cut your toe nails’.’’ You know, we have a sneaking hunch the hitching posts which dotted the curbs ever so often here were taken out prematurely. The horse is°coming back, we hear on every side. And indications i that way. One patriotic peddier said rather than ask the rationing board for tires at a time when rubber is vitally necessary for army “purposes he will buy a horse and do his house to house canvassing that way. ~~ Jokingly or not, Jim Penrose, local grocer, is credited with making the statement that he will buy a span of horses and wagon for deliv— ery purposes. So, it may be tthe duty of the city some time in the future to revive the hitching posts. In some small communities the hitehing posts were never uprooted. Those towns certainly have the jump on some of their so called more progressive a communities. : Riffles: It is rumored Mrs. Charles Leiter will soon be wed.
