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. © A BIG JOB FOR YOUNG FOLK ~ Still plagued with uncertainty as to just how they are going to get their 1943 crops harvested, farmers were asked by the War Food Administration this week to increase their _ productive acreage next year by 16 million acres—the greatest in American history! : _ With some help in getting the machinery and fertilizer need and have been unable to secure in sufficient quan‘with price and transportation adjustments, with aid in ses and maintaining farm labor—agriculture can and will ile, the job at hand is to get the present crops volunteers are needed for _ the ey eon oo PRICE CEILING Hast De of the Pacific Region of FDA (THE POCKETBOOK 1 KNOWLEDGE :%..

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. Diamonds are pure carbon and thus have the same composition as charcoal.
