Nevada City Nugget 805 Broad Street. Phone 36. A Legal Newspaper, as defined by statute. Printed and Published at Nevada Cit). H. M. LEETE 2 Editor avuit~. Published Semi-Weekly, Monday ana fuursday at Nevada City, California, and entered a3 mn. matter of the second class in the postoffice at, Nevada City umder Att of Congress, March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES ~ One year (Im Advance) -.2.--.-------------------$3.00 : 80 cents One Month THE AMERICAN WAY WILL WIN! The American way was decadent and doomed ,the Axis warned us when America set out to become the Arsenal of Democracy. The U. S. had hit its peak in 1929 and had since slid hopelessly into the ruck of history. The new Axis way of life was the way of steel and vitality and success. Last week General Motors, changing from peace to war pursuits, announced it has: Seventy-one plants at full speed on war work; 8 new plants under construction; 54,873 machine tools working or being rebuilt for war production; 16, 950 machine tools made available. to other war plants; men employed on war work, 170,598. Total General Motors employment on war production by October will be greater than total employment on both commercial and war work was in 1941! Bethlehem Steel's shipbuilding division reports the greatest production year in history for 1942—and states: “The first Liberty ship which recently discharged supplies at a Red Sea port was built in a yard that was virtually non-existant a year ago. A tanker was delivered in 100 days from the laying of the keel. A battleship will be delivered 14 months ahead of schedule. Cargo ships are being built in less than one-half the time required in the first World War. As production rises, costs. per unit decline. The North American Aviation Company of Los Angeles has reduced costs per plane 33 per cent since :940—and recently returned $14,000,000 to the government (which means the taxpayers!) rather than accept it as profit. Such news, multiplied many times, over in’ many plants with miilions of workers nationally, adds up to this answer to the Axis: : The physical volume of industrial production in America today is fifty per cent greater than it was at the peak of prosperity in 1929! The American way—free American labor and free American management going all-out for production together— will win! . THE STIFFO STORM TROOPS Men who can fight booze should go out to fight Japs. That is the stand of the draft board of Roxbury, Mass., on_draft-deferred “chronic alcoholics.” Selective Service DirectorLewis B. Hershey last week: “If you cannot see where there is a place for them in.the Army of today—why not create a regiment or division of their own? We do not condone drunkenness. Yet while we do not believe alcohol a part of the diet of the fighter, still history is replete with fighting men who drank.” History—the history of Monday morning police courts sessions for week end party boys—also is replete with drinking men who fought at the drop of a hat. What if the town drunk’'s of ten thousands burgs were enlisted together as the Elbow-Bending Engineers or Rum Pot Rifles of Stiffo Storm Troops and sent against the foe? Properly fortified, they might make military history. The grog some of them drink would make a rabbit snap at a wolf. The man who has survived the monsters and terrors of the D. T’s. might take the severe ordeal of battle in stride. Such a brigade might stagger through to victory under inspiration of the prospect of placing all Tokio sauoons under. martial law. That Roxbury board may have a thought! WARTIME ADVERTISING Announcing the largest mewspaper advertising campaien in the history of his company, a brewing concern head declared: “We are looking forward to our best year. Not only have we found that more people are reading newspapers now than ever before, but we know that newspaper advertising results in immediate sales increase. That advertiser knows full well that war drains will leave -people with less money to spend for luxuries, including beer. But he also knows that it is the bold, aggressive merchant, stepping up his advertising in face of adverse conditions, who takes the business which timid, retrenching competitors lose. Advertising is indispensable only when business is hard to get —and that is why it can be~predicted now that businessmen who advertise will be in business after the war as well as for the duration!

Their hours ‘are long, their work is hard : —St. Louis’ water works they guard. Saboteurs have not a chance, Except to lose the seat from pants. The plan began with eight stray dogs, . Who wandered in in working togs. These four-foot pals were unemployed— And, at lack of war-work, much annoyed. Each one, it seemed, was robust. fit, And anxious indeed to do his bit. Tihese, dogs eagerly obey their : « masters, And thus prevent war-time disasters. Priority on pup and hound, Is taken from St. Louis’ pound. In pounds their lives no longer end, For the waterworks needs each four-foot friend. Stray dogs are preferred over pedigreed, : For mongrels are a healthy breed. Their teeth are sharp and very long, Their coats have fleas, and smell quite ‘strong. : But if they possess a loyal heart, Then they can play a war-time part. Woe betide that canine beast, Whose loyalty: wavers in the least But a four-foot column cannot be found, For one of the blessing of the hound, Is that while he’s at play or work, No treasons within his cranium lurk. A dog’s a simple, harmless. creature, Except for one offensive feature. His mouth, it seems, is a furry sheath (Chock full of big and pointed teeth. The dog, propelled by four fleet paws, Has striking power within his jaws, And so, we see in canine friends, The latest of new war-work frnends. All-out, you see, means all-out now, When even doggies must learn how, To help defeat our mortal foe And make the wheels of action go! / Si re Nevada City Nugget — Monday, April 27, 1942.
