PEIIRE YEAR OBJETIVES SAE ELEN ENS vy -Page Four NEVADA CITY NUGGET STATE CHAMBER OUTLINES FISCAL Aid in reconversion and readjustment of war industries, involving over twenty billion dollars in~-war contracts and government owned plants; help in meeting the farm lalb‘or demand for the state’s $1,750,000,000 crop and livestock operaton; industrial relocation of 675,000 war workers and 700,00 returning veterans; assistance to private enterprise through securing favorable taxation and federal security policies —these are among the major objectives of the California state chamber of commerce for the coming year as announced by President Harrison §. Robinson. “Reconversion is of paramount interest in California,’ Robinson stated. ‘Involved are war contract caneellations and:cut backs, war producton shifts, and demobilization of war workers, job replacement of veterans and disposal of government surpluses. At the Same time, California’s industry and agriculture must ibe further protected through relaxation of wartime controls. “California private wage and sal-. ary payrolls total nearly seven bil-. lion dollars yearly. State and federal . regulations concerning labor rela-. tions and workmen’s compensation affect the payroll of every business and industry. Through its industrial research and legislative departments and committes, the state chamber of commerce will continue to. provide facilities for study and action on new legislative proposals. “State control of state resources, preservation of states rights, sound Management of forest resources, the highway development with post war needs and experience of California's . development commensurate with the post war needs and’ expansions #f Walifornia’s recreational potentialiities also will be aggressively espous. ed by the state chamber of com. merce. — . “The people of a state have the right to ‘maintain control of their matural resources and economic development. state chabber of commerce’s fields Federal enrcroachmetnt. have. another shoe, stamp for each upon this state right, and the trend;member of her family. toward centralized economie control, are fuld'amental issues in most of the.

Within the state are over two hundred billion board feet of standing timber. Forty eight per cent of the state’s area is forest or watershed land. Our lumber products have a basic annual value of $100,000,000. Promotion of scientific research into new uses for wood wastes will be supported as will acquisition of state forests. “The state chamber of commerce will continue vigorous leadership ef programs to utilize the forests— both national and state—for recreational as well as commercial assets. “Prior to the war, out of state tourists and vacationing Californians spent an estimated (600,000,000 yearly in the state. Resumption and increase of such expenditures will greatly accelerate expansion of employment and investment opportunities in the trade and services industries, as well as increase health and happiness. “Our war service department already. has under way a series of projects for recreational resources development. Beach improvement reecreational highways, trails, airports, greatly enlarged use of nationa{ forests and national and state parks for winter sports and summer vacatinoing are among the projects under way. Another is expansion of Callfornia’s hunting and fishing facilillties.’ Dorothy Kennedy left for Clear Creek Highlands last week where she will spend two or three. months with her aunt, Mrs. Redfield and her cousin, Mrs. Bohn, ANOTHER SHOE STAMP After August 1, Mrs. America will Airplane stamp No. 4 in War Ration Book No. 3 will become good on that date.

U.S. Navy Has 100,000 Ships of All Kinds ; “The greatest navy the world has even seen’? means more than just a show of etrength, for ‘more than 100,000 vessels which comprise it have carried and convoyed.our fighting men to the enemy’s very door step, and even beyond his seized frontiers in Hurope. Without this huge array of ships the navy could not have fought two determined enemies simultaneously upon two fronts separated by thousands of'sea miles. And now, with Germany vanquished, the navy will need them to land and supply a sufficient force to bring Japan to her knees. When the Japs hit Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941, the navy had some 7695 ships on hand. That treacherous attack hastened and enlarg-. ed an unparallelel program of building, conversion and acquisition. By August 1942, less than a year later, we had built,, converted and acquired gome 12,001 naval vessels and the atack on Guadalcanal was mounted. In July 19438, our navy had grown to 20,111 ships of all kinds and we were able to land fighting men in Africa to attack the nazis. That same year in November we were launching an attack against island. fortress of Tarawa halfway across the world, and at the same time supplying and building up our European forces. At this time we had 29,662 naval vessels. This number was increased to 32,179 in December when the amphibious attacks upon the island of New Britain in the Pacific began. June of 1944 found us engaged in two great invasions. We landed in ‘Normandy with our naval strengih increased to 51;000 vessel,s and later in the month hit Saipan in the Pacific with that strength bolstered fby 587 more ships: By the time we hit Guam in July there were 5j5,229 ships arrayed against our axis* foes. And in August when fighting men were storming ashore in Southern France and in the Pacific, 58,960 ships were on hand. The attack upon Luzon in _ the Philippines began in January 1945. At that time naval strength numbered some 73,862 vessels which enabled the attack to go ahead on schedule despite the heavy load of shipping to the European theatre at the same time. A month later when Iwo Jima came under our guns, the navy had increased to ‘the astounding total of 80,522 vessels. In-March US naval forces in Europe aided in transporting army units across the Rhine. In April we stormed the beaches of Okinawa, Jap stronghold close to their homeland. By this time’ the navy had built, converted, and acquired better than 100,000 vessels. And, since then, amphibious operations have taken place in Borneo. (‘Navy ships have conveyed our troops to every major fighting front and kept them supplied despite the menace of submarines and the best weapons of the enemy. sible. You PVT. THOMAS KE. KECKLER Pvt.

Helping to boss a lovely palace in the middle of a big playground is fun (I imagine) but it’s an*expensive pastime. . People wio habit such spots to enjoy their spare time are in the financial upper brackcis. If they work at all, they do things they enjoy. doing, or perhaps they do a few jobs nobody else can do as well. Such wealthy people are usually competney engage others _ to handle their routine.’ work. This leisurely class is growing steadily smaller, but it still exists. Work Weil Done A rich country club is proverbially well managed. It does not need to economize and cut corners, but that’s only part of the story. It is governed by men of singular ability with spare time, who like their club and take personal interest in it. They have no better: minds than men who hustle for business and use their wives for stenographers, but excellence thrives on calm deliberation. By the way, Mrs. Harry S. Truman used to serve her husband as secretary when he was senator: from Missouri. The President told it himself to the press while he was discussing the proposal to allow additional expense pay to _ representatives. It would be hard to find stronger testimony that members of the Congress of the United States need better compensation for the work they do. No Time to Think In every“ practical sense, members of Congress have been elected to the board of governors of the world’s grandest country — not a country club. They represent important. segments of people who have. chosen them to help boss (not a playground) the’ most influential power under the shining sun, and, until early last June, ‘they got $10,000 a year — the pay of a junior executive. One of America’s ugliest habits is criticizing Congress for shortcomings that result directly from being poorly paid. No one man can study all the profound issues congressmen must. vote on, and no $10,000 man can afford to pay ‘experts to digest them. Often congressmen use precious hours doing chores for people i back home because they can’t afford enough competent assistants. A Good Man’s Job Many solons labor intemperately. Rep. Doughton, who is p&st 81, rises regularly at 5:00 a.m., and starts his 12-hour day at 6:30; this after 34 years in the House and 14 years chairman of the Ways & Means Committee. What $100,000 official of industry claims to be worth more to his firm than Doughton is to his state and nation? American legislators are top-flight, except in pay. Must we send rich men to Congress because poor men lack funds to finance the job, or can’t afford to maintain an extra home in wealthy Washington? Do we want incompetents on Capitol Hill who stay there because they could never earn so much anywhere else? The answer is ‘‘no’’ of course; America can afford the best. Then congratulate your congressman on this increase and don’t let him wait 20 years for the next one. 500,000 passenger car tires to OPA for civilian motorists during July, OPA announced. The 2,500,000 tires allocated to OPA or rationing should meet the immediate requirements of the most essential drivers, Max McCullough deputy administrator for rationing said. Only B and C ration holderg are eligible for new tires and these drivers as well as A card holders who must depend solely on their present tires, must continue to conserve their tires in every way possible Charles Ingram Defines Old Age Payments Charles Ingram, Nevada County welfare officer, guest speaker at the dinner meeting of the: Grass Valley Lions Club, reviewed the conditions of eligibility for old age pensions. Ingram carefully explained the difference between the incorrect term “pension”? and old age security. He stated that the word ‘‘pension’”’ has been used unadvisedly by press, radio and by the average citizen. He declared that the current $50 monthly payment cannot be defined ag pension, in that the recipients are not receiving annunities for services rendered. It is a payment to persons 65 years of age, and over, given to them on a basis of their need, and is officially known as the public assistance program in California. Edward Steele, club president, announced award of 10 year mem(bership chevrons to E. H. Hocking, Paul Ferguson, and Dr. O. F. Lang. Sgt. William Partridge of the U. S.
