GREEN LIGHT FOR CENTRAL VALLEY .
Passed over possibly in the flood of more spectacular
meeting the country’s war emergency food needs,
Here are the specific allocations which have
green light to all-out construction on the big project:
The full importance of Central Valley's appropriation
victory is not solely reflected in the amounts voted. Of more
basic importance is the fact that the allocations not only insure rapid completion of dams and power plants, but also give
assurance that canals will be built to get the’ water to the land.
Congress, at this session, recognized the nation’s vital interest
in maintaining and increasing California’s farm production
capacity—and the appropriation of $7,000,000 for the FriantKern Canal was voted on this basis.
In January of this year, there was no reclamation program of any consequence before congress; work was proceeding only. on a few power phases of various projects and it appeared that irrigation projects were to go begging, despite
urgent appeals from Washington for increased farm production. For changing the condition and winning recognition of
the state’s needs, California is indebted to Rolland Curran,
James Fauver and other leaders of the Central Valley AssocElliott of Tulare and Albert E. Carter of Oakland, who led the
fight in congress. California farmers, particularly, owe them,
and all the others who participated in the long-drawn battle, a
very real debt of gratitude. : "
'THE END OF FASCISM
“The beginning of the end of the Fascist regime in
Italy”’ is seen in the current war picture, by a foremost foreign
language newspaper published by Italians and read throughout
offer their kinsmen in the homeland:
It is the hope, the wish and the appeal of all Italians here
that their brothers in Italy rise and overthrow the Fascist
regime by kicking the Nazis out of Italy and by facilitating in
every way the road of the advancing legions of liberation. In
this historical drama for Italy one thing appears clear: very
few tears will be shed by the Italians for the passing of Fascism. Tears are reserved for the innocent victims of this tragedy forced on Italy by the imbecility of Fascism.”’
There has been a good deal more grace in the attitude of
the Italian people themselves toward our invasion forces in
Sicily than might have been expected from the sworn enemy.
It is evident that L’Italia is correct in the belief that the Italian
people are surfeited with Fascism, sick of an Axis partnership
that makes them party to trained Nazi bestiality, weary of
domination by dictators who strip their country not only of .
men and material welfare but of those most precious human .
possessions, national honor and pride.
NEWCOMERS, TAKE CARE!
Growing carelessness by smokers in disposal of “hot”
tobacco from cars is reported by the California State Automobile Association. This is attributed in part to the thousands
of new arrivals who are unfamiliar with California's long dry!
summers and with state laws prohibiting tossing of burning
materials from moving vehicles.
Motorists, by carelessness, should not become “unintentional saboteurs’ by endangering natural resources and
farm crops so vitally necessary in the prosecution of the war.
The danger of forest and brush fires is greater this year by
_reason of the unprecedented brush, weed and grass growths
and by manpower shortages in state and county fire fighting
agencies. .
We direct the particular attention of new arrivals to the
fact that laws have been enacted in California. prohibiting the
‘throwing of lighted cigarettes, or other burning substances,
from moving vehicles and respectfully request them to obey.
The same goes for oldtimers, too. —San Francisco News.BOMBS FOR TOKIO
We who live here on the Pacific Coast, and who have
more reason to remember Pearl Harbor, perhaps, than any
other section of the country, should buy bonds more willingly, and in greater number, knowing that they will soon be
turned into bombs to blast Tokio.

. point permitting storage and diver;sion of water, $7,000.000 for begin. ning construction on the Friant-Kern
Canal, and $1,000,000 for the Contra Costa Canal and laterals. The
War Food Administration in recommendation to the War Production
Board, urged construcion on these
four features of the Central Valley
Project as an important means of
increasing the nations’ food supply.
On May 11 the War. Production
Board lifted the stop work orders on
Friant Dam and the Madera Canal
but has withheld action on the Friant
Kern Canal and the Contra Costa
Canal and laterals pending further
study of all proposed irrigation developments.
