Coming events do cast their shadow, according to Wendell Robie,
president of Auburn Native Sons. He
recently pointed out to the Colfax
Lions ‘Club, that “the ninety one
years elapsing since Commodore
Perry led a United States naval expedition of 219 guns to Japan. allow the world to forget a primary
objective was the correction of cruel
and inhuman treatment accorded our
unfortunate countrymen, who from
time to time suffered shipwreck on
the coasts of Japan.”
“The years since have borne witness that Japanese ‘character, ‘like
the leopard, does not change its
spots and the sorry plight of helpless castaway seamen a century ago,
found among Japs cruel, merciless
brutality similar to the savege treatment accorded weak and defenseless
“When can history point to a nation which has: more completely:
cloaked a depth of inhuman. beastliness in-racial. character with an as-.
sumed mantle of civilization?’’
“How faintly did the record torewarn that the tiny barbarous’. beast
of old Japan, after feeding from. the
hand of civilization would grow aa
a Frankenstein of savage fury, to
rend with tooth and claw Christian
elements of civilization on nearly
half the globe, and require mighty
efforts from three: great nations. to
oblierate a hazard of world wide
proportions.' “What a bloody return to the hontended by President Willard Fillmore, who stated in his message to

attempt could be made by no-other
power to. so great advantage -as by
the United States, whose constituhtional system excludes every idea of;
distant colonial dependencies. I zhave
accordingly been led to order an appropriate naval force to Japan, tnder the command of a discreet and
intelligent officer of the highest
rank known to’ our service. He is inthe. government of ‘that country,

FOREST TRAIL
SIGNS MADEFOR
‘SUMMER TOURS
In anticipation of the heavy Dost
war use of the Tahoe National For.
est by summer recreationists, rustie
trail direction signs are being made
this winter at the Big Bend ranger
station; reports District Ranger Way.
ren E. Barnes of. the
tional Forest.
The wooden rustic-signs, which the
Forest Service has found to be the
most durable as well ag readable,
are to be placed throughout the Tg.
hoe National Forest to direct hikers
and others over the numerous trails
of the forest.
The signs are prepared by carving
the letters from rough cedar boards
by use of a routing machine, . By
tracing over a pattern, the machin
automatically cuts the ‘letters in the
sign. The boards are then trimmed
and the signs stained and the letters
painted white. The signs will. be plac.
ed on the trails next summer by firg
patrolmen in conjunction withregular fire duties.
Ranger Barnes states that the sign
shop is now turning out these signa)
at the rate of 20 per day and it j
expected that a total of 800 signs
will be completed before the —_
is over.
