JUST ‘WONDERIN’
I wonder, little Jack and Jill.
When one sets out to climb a hill,
Is climbing upwad from the town
An seasier task than coming down?
And when one stands upon the crest,
Should he stay there, content to rest,
Or should one quickly there and then
Go down among his fellow men? .
1 wonder if it is easier to climb a hill, than it is to. make
one’s way down again. Let's consider.
In going up hill, one adopts an eerily suggestive posture
—‘‘body bent forward and arms dangling.” His eyes are on
the terrain before him and he is scarcely conscious of increasing depths below. The branches of shrubs and little trees
reach out like friendly, helping hands; he grasps them and
easily pulls himself to higher ground. If he slips and falls, he
comes down upon all fours—another remeniscent attitude,
from which it is not difficult to rise and resume the upward
way
If the venturesome mountaineer reaches the heights
which lured him, quite naturally he spends, some time in estatics; but one cannot stay long upon a sky piercing pinnacle
and in going down one finds his previous technique in reverse.
He no longer leans forward, he bends backward. The trail
seems to drop away from under his feet and the magnitude
of all that lies within his range of vision is so awe inspiring .
that he sometimes feels dizzy and light headed. Bushes and
trees are no longer friendly, they nudge, push and slap him
and when he falls, does he come down upon all fours? No, he
sits, emphatically and ingloriously, to be transformed into a
human scooter and catapulted down the trail with arms flailing and heels trying to dig in and so avert catastrophe. Rocks,
roll, dust flies, transit is indeed rapid, but it is also inelegant
and undignified in the extreme.
Upon due consideration, . come to the conclusion that
one has need of more poise, sure footedness, agiity and level
headedness in coming down from a high hill, then he required
in going up.
We have been told that natural low prevails in the spiritual world; but doesn’t it enter into and dominate every realm
_of life and life’s endeavors? Truly the forces which impel one
to conquer a lofty mountin are akin to those which lure him to
the pinnacles of material, intellectual and spiritual. achievement; and the obstacles and pitfalls along the montain trail
or upon the road to success are strangely similar.
When one has reached the goal of his ambition—what
then? Why then like the successful mountaineer, he must go
down—with all his garnered wealth of wisdom and experience, vision and understanding, he must go back to the little
vales and hills of home, to the busy marts of men and to the
little people whom the Great Spirit so loved, that he made
them by the billions.
-. . The treasures of heart and mind and spirit, belong not to
one alone. They are of little worth until given back to the
sources of inspiration from which they sprang.—A. Merriam
Conner.
SHIP TONNAGE ZOOMS
. In a world so surfeited with bad news—it is always a’
pleasant change to report good news—news which reflects the
detemination of the people at home to do their utmost to
achieve an early victory over our enemies.
An here’s a bit of reassuring news that deserves repetition and a good hand from the gallery:
.,. American merchant shipyards in the first six months of
this year delivired more tonnage than in all of 1942!
The delivery of 168 vessels aggregating . ,676,500 deadweight tons in June brought total production for the first half
of 1943 to 879 ships, totaling 8,818,622 dead-weight tons—
as against a 1942 recrod of 747 vessels of 8,089,732 tons.
California played a big part in achieving that enviable
record. The California Shipbuilding Corporation at Wilmington won high honors for a single yard by delivering 20 Liberty
ships in one month. And the two yards of the Permanente
letals Corporation at Richmond, which will be operated in
future as a single unit, delivered 25 ships between them.
With our air and naval forces apparently well on the way
to winning the victory over submarine packs of the enemy,
that kind of ship production will go far toward turning the
ables—and giving us a dominant play of arms on all fronts.
We hope that the men and women on the production line
recognize the great contribution they are making to the ultimate victory—and that they never cease firing until the word
ee over the wires that American troops have occupied
o and Berlin. ©

aDesignated prices for California
clingstone. peaches are as follows:
Grade No. 1—$65 per ton; Grade
Donald W. Wilcox, acting regional. No. 2—$30 per ton; Culls—$1 per
ton.
Based on average grades these
prices should result in an average
of $60 per ton, the maximum price
allowable in ceiling prices for canned clingstone peaches as established by OPA.
The FDA and State War Board did
not specify prices by grades or districts of production for California
and Dave Davidson, chairman of the
California USDA War Board, have
announced prices by grades for California clingstone peaches, and a
clarification of the announced price
for California pears. This is in accordance with the announcement of
the WFA of July 15, naming prices
of Pacific Coast canning and freezsigning up to help will have to be teen-agers, state authorities
announce. They will be paid the regular agricultural wage
and their supervision, says the office of Victory Farm Volunteers, will be “everything a parent could ask for.’’ At a Placer
County girls’ camp, one of the first to be established there are
se,ven senior councilors for 100 fruit packers.
High school boys and girls are urged immediately to join
forces to help feed their big brothers at war. If they are able to
turn in as good a harvesting job as the State War Council believes they will, all California will owe the young people a
debt of gratitude. :
BATTLE SONG OF FREEDOM
From the invasion-battered coast of Sicily to the steaming jungles of New Guinea; from Guadalcanal’ to Munda;
from the stormswept Aleutians to the violently erupting
“summer front’’ in Russia; from the avenging planes which
roar over the Ruhr and the blazing gun decks of Allied warships—from the seven seas,.and from almost every corner of
the earth, today, there’s a swelling song of liberty!
_Free men are singing. And men about to be free are
singing.
Perhaps you can hear the enslaved people of France and
Poland, and Norway and Holland, if you have an ear attuned
to freedom. Though they dare not speak yet, you can hear
them singing.
' He hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible
swift sword; :
His truth is marching on.
And as they rise against their oppressors when the hour
of liberation nears, they will strike their blow for freedom,
singing:
As he died to make men holy,
Let us die to make men free.
Hitler probably can’t hear that song; nor can the treacherous Jap warlords. For the songs.one hears above the roar
of battle are songs of the soul. And one must have a soul to
hear them. But free men will hear them!
This, perhaps, is only the beginning. There are long,
cruel days and months of bitter fighting ahead. _ But as the
president said when advised of the first landings, it is the beginning of the end. And free men everywhere are. singing.
“RADAR” IN WAR AND PEACE
Some of the deadliest weapons of this cruel and deadly
war will contribute immeasurably to comfortable, happy living once the fighting is done. As in all wars, developments
have been made in the course of this one that would have required many years longer to pérfect without the impetus of
necessity. , i
Foremost on the long list is “radar’’, the device making
such spectacular history in detecting appraching enemy craft
and determining distances to enemy forces. ‘‘Radar™” may
come to be as great a boon to humanity in the future as it is
a scourge to our enemies now.
It will protect airliners from crashing into unseen mountains or other objects; it will guide ships at sea . away from
drifting icebergs. It will guard homes from thieves and ‘‘make
the job of surveying a game.” It will guide the blind like a
guardian angel, warning dutifully of approaching objects.
The uses of “‘radar’’ will be manifold in the interest of
peace and good living. It is just, it seems, that the great war
weapons which have contributed their share to. the necessary
carnage of battle, should have their chance to redeem the men
jek, geod will who created them,: by their even greater contri now and late fall, and a big percentage of those utions to humanity in peace.
pears. While $65 is the maximum
average price which canners will be
permitted to include in’ their 1943
ceiling prices for canned pears, it is
expected that growers who deliver
better than average crops will receive higher than the price paid for
crops of average quality.
All prices are for fruit at the customary points of delivery. At present no grower ceiling prices have
been set.
The funeral of President Warren
G. Harding started from the rotunda
of San Francisco's City Hall twenty
years ago.
The native home of the Shorthorn
breed of cattle is in northeastern
England, in the counies of York,
Durham aid Northumberland.
The San Francisco symphony orchestra was the first major orchestra to admit women to the playing
personnel.
Seventy four per cent of California wage earners are now employed
in durable goods industries, compared to only 45 per cent in 1939.
California crops are counted on
to furnish ten per cent of the nation’s food supply this year.
