The County Seat Paper _ _NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA The Gold Center THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1946 THINKING OUT LOUD . By H. M. L. ] SCIENTISTS To those who have been accustomthe ed to visit San Francisco and tities around the bay, and who have been denied the vacations they were accustomed to take by the Golden Gate, because of room _ shortages tomes the good news that the U. S. . Navy is about to release many hotel rooms and beds in the chief hostelries there and a big broad gauge program for building more hotels is soon to be launched. . The regional news service that makes this announcement states that the building program is a result of the growing importance of San Francisco bay cities in world and national trade, involving all the area practically, of Northern and Central California. The new frontiers of commerce opening into the Pacific, funnel through the great landlocked fbay of San Francisco. The vast air, rail, ship and bus business, the overcrwded bay bridges all tell the exciting story of swift population expansion to--meet ‘the needs for goods and services in the post war Pacific world. As one of the significant developments of the new era upon Which San . Francisco enters, is the announcement that the Southern Pacific is endeavoring to arrange a through train with all modern day travel luxuries, . between San Francisco and New . York, without the necessity, as at. present, of changing cars at Chicago, St. Louis, or New Orleans. Any Calior pometimes as muchas. a half day in, any of those cities where a change of cars. has been necessary, will appreciate both the time saved and the convenience of speeding right though to his destination. The reason planning \such a change is undoubtedly due to plane-competition. They, too, here and there. It will be a very pretliners, without stops or change, be-} tween San Francisco and New York THREE IN RACE FOR COUNTY SUPERIOR JUDGE As result of two more\ filings of declaration of intention to become candidates for superior judge of Newada ‘County a brisk threesome will ibe offered voters of Nevada County in the June primary election.

Taylor The very scientists who developed the atomic bomh and have since bounced radar beams off the moon, are earnestly warning the American people against assumption that: U. S. leadership in science is assured. They tell us this nation is in serious danger of slipping behind other countries in pure research and technological development. American science was out in front —by a hair’s breadth; it seems—in beating the Germans to the punch with the atomic bomb. Had the nazis been ahead of us;on that one, Hitler would have achieved his horrible dream of enslaving the world. That thought should be enough to make us all realize how important it is that America hold her scientific leadership—or regain it if she has lost it. ‘We made the error during the war, our scientists say of drafting thousands of gifted students from our schools of science. Some ‘of them were killed and all of them lost several years of study.

If they are correct—and they a the men who should know—the Am-:s erican people should heed them. (Certainly American inventive gen. ius has contributed more than, any other single factor to our rise as the greatest, richest civilization the history of mankind. The enormous growth in the’ population of the world the last century ‘was made fossible in large part by the amazing advances in agricultural techniques that spread from America. Twice since the turn of the century American food production has prevented the ruin of the civilized ‘world through starvation. Only this country, in ‘both world wars, had the productive resources to feed its own in allies from the military collapse that would have come with famine. In very great measure that extratable ocean flow of foods was a direct result of ‘California pioneering in research and = experimentation. Through the combination of excellent agricultural schools and colleges and a farm population ambitious to make the most of the region’s splendid land resources and favorable farming \climate, California has risen to virtually unchallenged leadership in agriculture. Only IoWa, which claims 25 per cent of the nation’s highest grade soil, has -given California competition for first place \in recent years and Iowa is now a Hekate second in agricultural rating. . Among other things) California agricultural research developed crop Saving orchard heaters, batter plant disease and insect controls) improved fertilizers, new by-prod vanced packaging . 4z 2a pr procedures, and. arm buying, seeoelan of tractor and other farming machinery to special uses in diversified fiel of production.

GRASS VALLEY COUNCIL SEEKS CITY EXPANSION ' The possibility of a revival of the City Planning Commission to provide for long range expansion of the city limits by including, after legal requirements had ‘beeir satisfied, several tracts _residents of which may desire annexation, was discussed at the meeting of the Grass Valley City Council. : William Smith and Paul Ensgie, residents of Alta Vista Avenue asked the council if the-city was interested in annexing suburban tracts, and if so, what procedure was necessary to provide annexation.
