INVASION DAY ler’s inner bastions is rapidly approaching. The long anticipated zero hour is near at hand, when millions of allied coldiers will strike at Hitler's fortress on the European coast, relieving the pressure on the Italian invasion troops or to be joined by them, and spear-heading the land attack directly on the Reich. Some of the indications may be discussed publicly and some may not.

But our greatest hope is that the Invasion Army, when it finally invades will be so overwhelming in/strength and number that dantly supplied and supported with all the things it will need to make the job short, swift and final.—Contributed. BERLIN’S FUNERAL PYRE Pilots returning from one of the heaviest and most recent bombing raids on battered Berlin reported the city a veritable funeral pyre, with the angry glow of flames encompassing the once proud capital of the Reich and with a shroud of smoke towering 20,000 feet into the air. At-the bier of the dead we are usually moved to sorrow and compassion. There are always some who will weep even for those whom the world can well do without—and whose misspent lives brought only anguish to their friends and neighbors: But as Berlin becomes a literal hell on earth, consumed by the fiery destruction it sought to inflict on others, we can only hope that never again in the history of our world will such fierce retribution become necessary. “The world will grieve at the funeral pyre of Berlin, not . for the Nazi hierarchy, nor the haughty, ruthless Berliners . who sold their souls for a mess of Hitlers pottage, but for the innocent and helpless, wherever they may be—even in Berlin—who are the victims of the Reich's crimes against aw iy. —Contributed. CRAEMER SEES BiG INDUSTRIAL, FUTURE IN CALIF. By JUSTUS F. CRAEMER Member, California Railroad “California is destined to become rone of the great industrial areas of the nation in the post war period” (Craemer said that in available electric power, California is the num‘ber three state in the union, surpas{eed only by New York and Pennsylvania. He added that when the Central Valley power installations of the (Shasta and Keswick dams are completed ,along with the Pitt River power project in Modoc County, this state will have-available enough electrie power to put it in second place, _ With only New York leading. “Potential . undeveloped hydroelectric resources in the California mountain areas .will ultimately increase our available power capacity). . missioner Justus F.

Exceeded only by Iowa, Cali‘fornia’s 1942 crop production totaled one billion 167 million dollars. Barly estimates for California’s 1943 crop return indicate a new high of one billion 500 million dollars. Communication Facilities : The progressiveness of California when 4 4 \ meters serve the homes, farms, the he called asaaseti to the fact that the 2 120,000 telephones in use in this state are surpassed only by two nations of the world—Great Britain’s 3,300,000 and the 4,200,000 in Germany. Japan on the other hand has little more than @ million telephones, and Italy less than 700,000. Crade Petroleum Production California, according to latest peace time records, produces 10 1-2 9 of the world’s. crude petroleum, which ig more than that produced by any other nation outside the United States, even more than giant Russia. All available pre war production recordg show .that the Axis countries eontrol about six per cent of the world’s oil production. First In Motor Vehicles This state has the greatest motor vehicle -registration of any state in ‘the union, having 10 per cent of the nation’s motor cars, he remarked. With three million cars it has more than twice the number in Germany while Italy registered only 400,000 and Japan but 133, 000 for its mass es. é CAMPTONVILLE PERSONAIS IS NEEDED even when budget is limited _ CAMPTONVILLE, Feb. 24.—Miss Carmen (Cassano. of ‘Sacramento spent the. week end visiting her parents here, her brother Robert who attends school at Sacramento accompanied her.
