ASKS Out Loud SUPERVISORS TO START ee MEMORIAL HALL FUND Nevada City, along with every other city, town and village in our country, is again confronted with war time conditions. This war into which we are plinging all-out in good old American fashion, can be roughly appraised even now as about five times more severe than the last world war. We had three million men ready to fight in 1918, pancoeve aly two million went to France for that purpose. In this war, counting all services, we now have about two million méh either ready or rapidly preparing to fight. But when all'those who must soon register, between the ages of 18 and 64, are registered, and the soldier potential is sifted from the noncombatants, we shall have at least ten millions in all services. So, speaking in broad generalities, we conclude that this war will require about five times the national effort of the last war, and* the cost will probably be even: more than five times that of world war No. 1. A great many people, who have studied the matter, declare that this is the same war as the last. The intermission of twenty two years, has in reality been an uneasy truce, Now if this-estimate of cost and @ffort, as compared with the first half (shall we say?) of the game is. even approximately correct, should not every one of us spend some time in hard thinking about what we ourselves, individual private citizens, here in Nevada City are going to do about it? Do we have to. have a car, for instance, or would ‘shank’s mare do fora while? Must we have cream in our “coffee, or can we get along with milk? Can we do anything in short, to make ourselves independent and not continue so terribly soft and dependent that life without a car or without cream becomes an unbearable hardship? Those are personal questions each one must answer for himself. For we are still citizens of the good U. S. A. and have no Hitleresque person to answer for us. Carrying this line of reasoning toward our collective life as a community, what should we do to help Nevada City to better serve our ‘war purposes? Well, there is one ‘thing’ we should do right now. The Red \Cross drive is lagging far below the quota set for Nevada (City. The quota is;$2,000. It is high for a smiall town that at the last census had 2,400 inhabitants. It means about 90 cents each for every man, woman and child, <A good many-can’t give that much. So we believe that all those who have already contributed should dig into their jeans and contribute It should be a. matter of more. pride with every citizen of this town that we do our part as a city, and the city cannot do it, unfess every citizen wrestles with his conscience, and finally with a loud exclamation: “‘Get thee behind me, Hitler.’ pungles up. Here is one place where ““George’’ cannot officiate for the rest of us. We suggest that our newspapers from now on run-a list of Red Cross “repeaters,’’ until our “quota is filled. We have a dreadful feeling that if we fail to raise that quota, we are going to fail in a lot of other ways in this emergency. The Red Cross is elementary.
