In this farflung and sparsely-settled territory Englebright has long been a kingpin. Back in Washington he has risen to Republican whip in the house, which is important in the nation’s capitol if it doesn't bring any groceries to the widely scattered voters in his district. “Somewhere along the line Englebright has crossed with his constituents and we hear rumblings of dissatisfaction concerning him and his policies. This can’t be the usual game of opposing the congressman who was an out-spoken isolationist before the war. It séems to go,more deeply than that. Maybe Englebright has been too big a shot in Washington and paid too little attention to the clamor from the people back home. Anyway Rudolph R. Henderson, Lone Pine building materials dealer and a Republican, is going after Englebright, as is Frank G. Finnegan, Democrat and attorney of Nevada City. A woman is also in the race, Gertrude V.

Time magazine takes note of the Henderson campaign, but Time is pushing around many an office-holder who clung too long to his isolationist policies. ‘ “The Sacramento Union attempted to in” terest Englebright in the Indian burial ground . outside Auburn and finally got a reply out of the congressman after a couple of letters and a sharp editorial. Not that Englebright helped the Indians, except by putting in a bill he knew had little hope of passage.

UREN * I had a wonderful dream the. By H. M. L. JR. Citizens whose palms are calloused from manual work and others who have at some time in the past, labored at hard physical jobs, will heartily approve of the government’s recommendation that all war workers spend not more than forty eight hours per week,, or six eight hour days at their jobs. Everyone who (has toiled and sweated knows how~ welcome ‘‘quittin’ time’ is, and every laborer and foreman knows that the pace of. work slows a bit even towards the end of an eight hour day. Fatigue thrives on long hours. It thrivés on a seven day week for individuals. Fatigue breeds carelessness, and it even makes the hand slip and the muscles falter. Other work condition ceilings approved by government war agencies are: one day of rest out of seven for every worker; a 30 minute meal period; vacations; preferably ‘broken up into séveral Short vacations. These recommendations have been made by the federal agencies in the face of various labor shortages. Since this is so, it is obvious that plan is not conceived for the purpose of pampering .or delight well paid workers. It is made b,ecause every human being is, in at least one sense, . a machine. And even a mechanical machine, a cold thing of steel and: iron, meeds good care. The human machine doesn’t need oiling, or sharpening, or gear-grind-. ing, of course, but it does have other . needs just as definite’ Three meals a day, eight hours sleep, rest at least one day of seven, and a maximum work week of six eight hour days are the bare physical requirements of the human machine. The experience of production managers has shown that when these rules are violated, the loss is greater than gain$ made by lengthening the working hours. Speed is decreased—— mistakes are increased, and health is. strained to the point where production losses, through worker-absences multiply. : These seemingly easy maximums approved by the government will undoulbbtedly have the effect, not of decreasing, but of increasing our war production. Naturally, it is to that end that all of our manpower and resources on the home front are being bent. Naturally that is the aim in mind which the war program planners of the WPB and other agencies had in mind. The approval of hour ceilings and scheduled rest and vacation periods are merely steps to take adequate care of the human machine. A human being is a lot more than a machine, at least, in the free countries, but the physical man demands as regular and ‘benevolent care as the} most complex machine. Upon the preductive capacity of millions of individuals depends whether or not our nation can produce. war weapons with sufficient speed and sufficient quantity to beat our enemies. Winning is not as simple as that, of course, but the total amount of weapons produced will depend greatly upon the proper working schedule for our war workers. Thus the general public can join with the horny-handed workers in justified The Nevada City Elks will endeavor to hold at least a tie for top spot in the softball league tomorrow night when they tangle with the Grass Valley Firemen at Memorial Park in Grass Valley. Last Friday night fate played a trick on’the Nevada City softballers, ; They were defeated by the DeMolays by the score of 8 to 3 and it happened that a former Elks player, Mar. vin Haddy, played a leading role in {the defeat of the local softiball ten.

Englebright yesterday in paemenio, of the vast other night. It had been one of those hot, sticky days that we get just a few of occasionally, and as soon as the fire got out of the sheets I hit the -hay. I dreamt it was Saturday night. . had taken my regular weekly bath—and don’t infer that it was the only one for the week — but Saturdays we washed behind our ears and made a better job of it. As I was saying, . came up _ the street feeling fresh as a daisy and headed for Joe Halligans, on the corner of Pine and /Commercial Streets. . Joe made a practice of cook. ing up either a good Irish stew, ‘clam chowder, or a pot of ‘beans every Saturday. I could hear Joe’s hearty laugh long béfore I reached’ the’ door and as I entered . saw that several of my old cronies were there; and Joe says “Get a stool boy and sit up; the stew’s fine tonight.” So. we sat there and kidded one another and discussed the latest scandal, like we always did, while we washed down Joe’s savory dish with a good, ice cold. schooner of lager, drawn-fresh and = sparkling fro mthe keg; and, boy after you had had a helping or two of stew and got a couple of schooners under your belt you felt at peace with all the world. Those were the days when we didn’t have to worry about our gas buggy to go 20 or 30 miles to a dance, nor we didn’t have much in the way of pic: ture shows, but if we felt like it we paid ten cents to see one: It's got so now a’days that they've forgotten how to serve a good glass of beer, and as.for stew or beans, they'd have a stroke if you suggested it. After a fellow has worked all day in this gol darn heat and the only cooling thing he has seen is the girls going by without any clothes to speak of, by the time the whistle blows, he’s so thoroughly dehydrated that he feels like a Prohibitionist’s conscience. He goes into one of these drink emporiums with his tongue hanging out and some chap serves him a six ounce glass of luke warm suds with two in-~ches of foam on it. When he tosses it down it just sizzles a_ little and evaporates before it gets where it can do any good.

Joe made a practice of cook. ing up either a good Irish stew, ‘clam chowder, or a pot of ‘beans every Saturday. I could hear Joe’s hearty laugh long béfore I reached’ the’ door and as I entered . saw that several of my old cronies were there; and Joe says “Get a stool boy and sit up; the stew’s fine tonight.” So. we sat there and kidded one another and discussed the latest scandal, like we always did, while we washed down Joe’s savory dish with a good, ice cold. schooner of lager, drawn-fresh and = sparkling fro mthe keg; and, boy after you had had a helping or two of stew and got a couple of schooners under your belt you felt at peace with all the world.

He goes into one of these drink emporiums with his tongue hanging out and some chap serves him a six ounce glass of luke warm suds with two in-~ches of foam on it. When he tosses it down it just sizzles a_ little and evaporates before it gets where it can do any good.
