It’s a long jaunt, too. from here to Trinidad and British Guiana in the Caribbean, but American troops have taken over in both places. For better or worse, whether we believe in it or not, our Flag has gone abroad, with United States muskets to defend it. It is not our purpose, in this editorial, to argue the merits of the case; the deed has been done; the Rubicon has been crossed! We have dispatched men of the Navy to the frozen north, and men of the Army to the tropical south—assértedly to pre“vent Nazi encirclement of the United States. And no matter “what we may think about it, this is the most momentous mili‘tary decision this nation has made since the first World War. Translated, these moves mean that we are no longer on the de' €nsive; we have taken the offensive against the German Reich. Realistically, perhaps that is the right thing to do; certainly. every nation which has waited for Hitler to move first has lived to regret it. If we must fight, as many of our most dependable observers now believe, then, at least, we should be in position to keep the fight from our own shores: we should anticipate Hitler’s moves and check-mate them. If Hitfer has no plans for world conoivest. then we are assuredly wrong. for we are invading his hemisnhere and asking for trouble. Whether we have done the richt thing or the wrong thing—that's all a matter of “‘if.’” The fact remains we have done it. That's . . something to chew over.—Contributed. SMOKESTACKS IN THE WEST A new cycle has come to the West. just as significant. in many respects. as the passing of the Old West. The transformation is going on before our eyes. but many of us, preoccupied with our individual resnonsibilities. may have failed to grasp ts full imrortance. What will undoubtedly become the greatest industrial empire in the United States—the greatest the world has ever known—is building. right at our doorstep. New industries are springing up by the hundreds.and established industrial plants are expanding so fast that manpower can't be found to handle the work. National defense contracts totaling more than two billion and a half dollars were received by industries in the Far West during the twelve-month period which ended June 30, and it is exnected that at least two billion dollars worth of additiona] orders will be placed with Pacific Coast manufacturers during the coming six months. In California, approximately three-eights of this state’s industrial workers are now employed in building ships and airplanes. Shipbuilding. employment, “hile it has doubled during the past year is scheduled to double again before peak production is reached. To furnish the raw materials for defense goods, a whole set of basic industries are being built on the Pacific Coast. There are two new aluminum plants on the Columbia River which will not reach capacity until fall. Three more are planned—one each in California, Oregon and Washington— which will cive the coast approximately 28 per cent of aluminum ingot capacitv now contemplated for the whole country. There is a magnesium reduction plant near completion at Los Altos, with another possible in the Northwest. There are plans under consideration to add 1.500.000 tons annually to ingot capacity of Pacific Coast steel mills. In addition. the lumber, oil, power, agricultural and railroad industries of the West are expanding rapidly. F.verv dav. new smokestacks are raised to the sky. Every dav industrial payrolls soar to new highs. The New West is building. —Contributed. ‘ ann ARMY NOTRIES it of a oe will DEFENSE ARTIERS sci", soziere o TARUICK C0, ; conversion of certain Buick plants into production lines for the fabrication of aircraft parts.

GIOVANNETTI -LYSTRUP — In} Nevada City, Nevada County, July 15, 1941,, by Frank David Giovannetti, 19, and Wanda Lystrup, 18, both of Nevada City. Just Wonperne eae t (ce . . ee 7) I wonder.at the gleaming ofbs_ , That throng the sky when day is done, Replacing with their mellow beams The golden splendor of the sun, I wonder if there's one that cries, “This night . shall not shine. e heavens are all ablaze with light, Why waste this little beam of mine?” I wonder at that most regal of all sciences, astronomy, and at the amazing discoveries made by its adepts during recent decades. With greatly enlarged and vastly more power. . ful telescopes at his command, the modern astronomer fol-. ' lows new pathways through limitless realms of space and enriches the world with fresh and astounding information which staggers human imagination. Stars, planets, pale moons and flaming suns have been weighed and measured, their times and seasons recorded and their incredible distances from our own puny habitation revealed. Still the glass eyes of great telescopes search the midnight heavens and well do the astronomers know that beyond all that present day instruments’ have disclosed, lie, other wonders to be added in due time to the ever increasing knowledge of the skies. It is strange to consider the fact that when, in long aeons vast the first intelligent anthropoid stared up at the night sky, he saw no more and no less than we of this age are able to discern with our unaided vision. All the stars he saw are still in their places, every constellation is still intact. I wonder what would happen if one among these steadfast orbs should suddenly vanish from our view; if Jupiter, Saturn or even a very small and unimportant star should stage a black out. It is easy to imagine the state of consternation which would prevail in astronomic circles and the superstitious terror which might mark many unscientific minds for its own. reflecting the placid skies above us: order has been so long maintained that its disturbance is unthinkable. I wonder if there is a lesson for us in the steadfastness of the stars—in the faithfulness with which even the lesser orbs have held their places in the sky and sent their heavenly light to gild earth's gloomiest shadows and guide through the night. Perhaps, in the constancy of the stars above “ve may read the old, old message, “‘let your light so shine before men.” : the -wanderer Uncle Silas says: ‘‘If a star should drop out of the sign . was born under, would . have to buy me a new horoscope?
