The County Seat Paper NEVADA CITY, _ CALIFORNIA ‘The Gold ¢ Cite THURSDAY, JULY 1. . !943 Thinking Out Loud By LEONE BAXTER The man or woman who has figured out the solution to the race rioting in Detroit, Chicago , Los Angeles and other cities, holds the answer as well to a puzzle the entire civilized world is struggling to solve—the War Puzzle. For the vicious seed that sprouts a race riot on Hastings street in the colored section is the same seed ‘that sends its malignant, strangling roots around the world, to blossom noxiously in international wars that make the seas run red. It is a common seed, for all its deadliness. It is the seed of -selfishness, intolerance and misunderstanding. There is no sense in trying to complicate it further, but somehow it has come to be considered a problem of greatest complexity, each man bracketing it in economic, polltical, 1eligious, social or financial pigeon holes accordporaneous forum handled by Art Linkletter recently on the subject of ‘‘war causes’ amazed that maestro as thoroughly no’ doubt, as it did the air audience, with some bewildering solutions. They included ‘birth control in enemy nations, ‘readjustment of our medium of exchange, and ‘‘wage increases for labor to a _ point where labor can buy all the sutPluses it produces, so wars won't have to be declared by employ. ers, as this one was, simply to dispose of those surpluses.” One of two. general solutions commonly considered sound as war deterrents (though not by the same groups) is a system. of international cooperation arrived at over the conference tables——certain essentials of which would be militarily enforced if necessary. The other, the only real and honest solution, is the application of the Golden Rule. Besieged by practicalities in a practical world and beset by human frailties, it will not come soon. Not until most of the world at least has learned ‘that selfishness at home means wars of aggression . abroad, that total intolerance on Hastings street means minoritybaiting by the world’s ‘supermen”, that inability or disinclination ‘to understand a neighbor’s problems means) misunderstandings and duplicity+in diplomatic affairs. And that all ‘three—selffishness, intolerance and misunderstanding—lead to war. CITY ON SAN FRANCISCO BAY HAS BIRTHDAY FRANCISCO, July §.—Six years cecal ate than the United States, San Francisco is celebrating its 167 birthday anniversary this ‘week. Becifically' the celebration commemorates the arrival on the windswept, otherwise uninhabited sanddunes of what is now San Francisco of Don Juan Bautista do Anza with his “army” of 30 soldiers and 200 colonists on June 27, 1776. San Francisco is fortunate in havbirthday anniversaries. the anniversary of the celebration of the first mass by the new arrivals on June 29, 1776. Others consider September 17 the proper date, as the San Francisco presidio was founded September 17, 1776. Still others date the city’s birth from the dedication of Mission Dolores on October 9 1776. Whatever the true date, we can congratulate the big bay city, Queen City of the Pacific, and wish her many happy returns. HAVE YOU ANY QUARTZ CRYSTALS?

JAMES TYRRELL TELLS OF DRAFT BOARD'S WORK James C. Tyrrell, chairman of the Nevada County Selective Service Board ‘No. 22, in an address before the Grass Valley Rotary Club of which he is president, gave some interesting figures on Nevada County’s contribution to the armed forces. “There are now more than 1,200 men from this county in the nation’s armed forces,’ said Tyrrell. “The number of men in all age groups who have registered in the county is 6,18 and 45 number 4,500. Of the 1.,200 in the services, only 100, approximately, are between the ages of . and 45, and of the 1,200, 780} ;tarily enlisted.’ “Since boys of 18 ‘have been re‘quired to register, it is surprising how many have engaged in farm work, who had never worked on a ifarm before. In this work they are immune from the draft and_ this knowledge has gained general circulation.” RED CROSS IN APPEAL FOR MORE WORKERS ‘Nevada City women are asked to . volunteer their services to assist with “one of the most important functions’’ of the Red Cross, that of jmaking surgical dressings for the ‘armed forces. $ The surgical dressing unit in the City Hall turns out three types of dressings. During the month of June 19,740 dressings were completed. Those who gave their services during the month worked hard to complete this number of dressings, but it still leaves the chapter back in production as far as the quota which was contracted for from the Pacific area, American Red Cross is concerned. The surgical dressing unit is in operation from 10 a. m. until 3 p. m. daily, Monday through Friday and on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evening from 7:30 until 9:30 p. m. Volunteers are requested to wear a clean wash dress and a cover for their hair. Material for the caps can ‘be purchased at the room.

Harry L. Englebright. Plected senator in’ 1942 from the eighth district—comprised of Tehama, Glenn and Colusa counties—Engle played an important role in the last. session of legislation by authoring several bills of state wide importance. Bills sponsoned ar !co-sponsdred by Engle included establishment of farm labor camps, assistance to the small rural high schools; the alien land law measure striking at the Japanese holding agricultural lands, assistance to the farming, livestock and mining industries. In announcing his candidacy Engle said: ‘“‘I feel honored in the widespread support I. have received to make this race, not. only from all of the democratic leaders of the district but many friends in the other party as well. “If elected I expect to give the people the ‘representation that this district requires in accordance with its importance and size. Wh “T will soon make a full statement of my platform setting forth my. position on foreign and domestic policy, ‘post war. planning, labor, the central valley project, pensions, the Japanese, public lands and any other iséues. arising during the campaign. “T recognize agriculture, livestock, district. If elected ther welfare in dustries of this I expect to fight for congress; mining . vast and important mineral and lum-. ber resources of the district.’’ Engle is a=-life long University of ‘California Hastings college of law. Prior to his election as senator, he served two terms as: district attorney of Tehama county. RATION FACTS FOR CONSUMERS By MRS. H. E.

E. Hamfland of Camp Beale conducted the service. Pall ibearere were six lieutenants from (Camp Beale. A firing squad from ‘Camp Beale fired a salute over the young officer’s grave in the Catholic cemetery. A bugler blew taps. Holmes Funeral Home was in general charge of the obsequies. The body of Lieutenant Odegaard was ,accompanied west by his fathin-law, Lieutenant Colonel Allen (Chapman and by his wife of only a couple of months, Mrs. Marlyn Odegaard. Lieutenant Colonel Chapman is a member of General Arnold’s staff in charge of the U. S. Army Flying \(Corps Safety division of the Flight ‘Command. He stated the cause of the accident had not yet been ascertained, but it was not believed that young Odethe accident occured. a small island when plane crashed on the Mississippi River. \ None survived. . "MILITARY HONORS ‘CALIFORNIA TO BE IMPORTANT POLITICALLY By CLEM WHITAKER Governor Barl Warren’s ennouncement during the annual governor’s conference at Columbus, ‘Ohio, that he will not seek the GOP nomination for president or vice president—and is not entertaining the hope that he will be “drafted’’ for either office by the Republican National Conven;tion—has gone a long way toward clarifying California’s position in the 1944 presidential picture. With Governor Warren definitely out of the race, there is every likelihood that California’s May presidential primary next year will decelop into a free-for-all, with sev— eral of the outstanding contenders making a bid to capture this state’s powerful delegation, to the Republican convention. . Plans are already being formed to place a ticket on the May primqry ballot pledged to ‘Wendell Willkie and it is probable that Gov© ernor Warren will be asked to head up the Willkie delegation.

NATIVE SONS SEEKS TO AMEND CONSTITUTION To prevent for all time “‘neaceful invasion of the United States through process of infiltration of undesirables’’ the Board of Grand Officers-of the Native Sons of the Golden West, at its first quarterly session for the year 1943-44, has formally called for national support of a proposed Amendment to the Constitution of the United States to the end that Article XIV, Section 1, be amended to insert two words: “of citizens.”’ “By the insertion of these two ‘words, the Board of Grand Officers of the Native Sons of the Golden West proposes to accomplish in simple and direct fashion, all that has been attempted in that direction by many. west coast organizations,’ declared Grand President Wayne R. Millington, who made the announcement. ‘‘Adoption of ‘this simple phrase will solve all the many and complex problems involving American citizenship,” Millington said . “As it presently reads, Article XIV( Section 1, ‘Citizenship,’ reads: “All persons born or naturalized in the United,States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.’’ The amending phrase calls for the insertion, after the opening phrase “All persons born,’’ of the words “of citizens’’, so that the section would read: “All persons born of citizens or naturalized in the United States, etc.” No alien, Millington explained, could become a citizen of the United States through birth ‘but might acquire citizenship only through process of naturalization. Citizenship is revocable if naturalization is. obtained by fraud. Obviously, Millington said, the proposed amendment would in no way effect any Japanese Americans already so privileged, nor their children,”’ but it would forever, render it impossible for whole groups of foreigners, seeking the destruction of the American form of government, to carry on ‘their nefarious work.” Surviving Lieutenant Odegaard be-. candidate, was the late Os-. gragt founder and first . vention. . of an mining and lumber as the basic in-. %0ne up to add to their hours at the . eiteed from running a ticket openly .
