I have never heard of any group of men in whose hands . am willing to trust the liberties of the American people.” Woodrow Wilson, before he became President, was a distinguished educator and historian, and in that statement he ably reflects the true American spirit—the spirit that won our independence, wrote our Constitution, and gave us democratic government.

According: to the San Francisco ‘headquarters of the Forest Service, this firebreak stopped nine out of eleven large fires from spreading into the timbered regions above the Ponderosa Way. Forest officers consider this a good record in view of the unfinished condition of parts of this, world’s longest firebreak. Two of the eleven fires which swept up to the Ponderosa Way . were carried over it -by exceptionally high winds which would have rendered any firebreak useless.

Heard x BY 1 a <a ee A 7 FRENCH CORRAL, Jan. 7.—A centralized army air force of approximately 900 fighting planes, available almost instantly as a unit for attack or defense, was organized today at the War;:Department. The force the’ establishment which was termed by Secretary Dern “the most important and evoluntionary step toward moderni zation” of combat units since the World War will be known as the General Headquarters Air Force. The commander will be Lieutenant Col. Frank M. Andrews. Actual establishment of the force will take immediate command of the army’s aerial fighting units from Major Gen. Benjamin D. Youlois, chief of the Army Air Corps. The fighting planes will be placed under the chief of the staff, now General Douglas MacArthur. The Baker Aviation Committee in its report last summer, recoinmended the request for the Army Air Corps. The Committee contends that the budgetary provision for these airships will bring the Army’s strength in planes up to approximately 2,400, which, according to the authorities, is the minimum cou‘sidered necessary to meet our peace time army requirements. We can all congratulate the War of i Department for not hesitating in acceding to the Baker request, and we hope that it will carry out the recommendations which have already commended themselves, without dissent. As long as all the countries across the Atlantic and the Pacific are strutting around with a chip on their shoulders we have to agree that the requests are sane, moderate ; and just. Included among the studies recommended by the Committee are engines, basic aircraft materials, instruments for aviation and blind landings, communication equipment;. armament, . including combat equipment, mobile field and ground equipment, safety devices, and the construction of research equipment including wind tunnels for the study of wind and ; Wing control. We must bear in mind that the next war will be fought almost entirely in the skies and if our Air Corps can be built up great enougn to demand respect from other countries we need not fear, too greatly, the necessity of becoming embroiled in another conflict of any description. Have you heard how our flag, the Stars and Stripes was named ‘Old Glory’”’ in 1831 by a Salem skipper, Michael Rodent Goes Airminded Having learned that the moon is made of green cheese, Mickey Mouse is shown above straining to get-at that stratosphere. He’s all puffed up about a leading part he will play soon in a New York department store parade. William Driver, at that time captain of the brig Charles-Doggett? Just before the brig left Salem, a of friends saluted Captain Driver on the deck of the Doggett and presented him with a large and beautifully made American flag. Captain Driver christened it ‘Old Glory.’’ He took it to the South Pacific, and years after, when old age forced him to relinquish the sea, he treasurcd the flag. Captain Driver removed to Nashville, Tennessee in 1837, and he died there in 1886. Previous to the outbreak of hostilities between the North and the South, “Old Glory’’ was flung to the breeze every day from the window of Captain Driver’s Nashville house, but when the bullets began to zip and the odor of gunpowder to taint the air, the old flag had to be secreted. It was kept out of sight inside a great bed comforter, until February 27, 1862, when Brigadier General Nelson’s wing of the Union army, appeared in Nashville, and Captain Driver presented it to the general to be hoisted on the capitol. It was run up, and Captain Driver himself did the hoisting. He watched it through the night, and a heavy wind came up, he took it down and sent a new flag up in its place. The original ‘‘C:d Glory’ was beginning to ribbon. The second flag owned by Captain Driver was given to the Ohio Sixth when that regiment left Nashville for home. It was placed in the rear of a baggage wagon where a mule nosed it out and devoured it. The original ‘Ola Glory’’ was preserved, and after the death of Captain Driver is was presented to the Essex Institute at Salem. ’ GENERAL GRANT MINE B. L. Eastman, of Nevada City and L. A. Smith, formerly with the River Placers, are continuing the cleaning out of the 130 foot shaft and old’ workings in the General Grant mine, which is located in the Forest Springs district, south of Grass Valley. Work is sto start this week on the erection of the 40 foot headframe, and building of ore and waste bins. A compressor is to be installed soon. The General Grant has a good past production record. SEASON'S RAINFALL The storm of Thursday and Friday registered 1.70 inches of rain in Nevada City. At times the downpour was almost a cloudburst aud gutters were flooded, little streams pouring into the streets. The first half of 1934-35 Season ended December 31, with a_ total rainfall of 17.15 inches of rain as against 18.90 inches over a ‘ike pertod last year.
