One MOR) 3 2.22 30 cents . —— aad NIE JUST WONDERIN’ I wonder how a little stick, With surphur on the end, €an spread destruction far and wide, As lurid flames ascend; And how a half smoked cagarette, By careless hands thrown down, Can desolate the countryside, Or devastate a town. Recently three dear people whom we love, spent the day in a town adjatent to their own. They returned in the later afternoon to find their home so scorched by flames—so__begrimed by smoke and water, as to be scarcely recognizable. The story behind this near tragedy is an old and familiar one; the children of a neighbor had played with matches, and tinder dry grass had flamed into deadly menace. . wonder if those naughty little children were spanked and put to bed. That is an old fashioned idea; but sometimes when a child is given a good warming up and a few hours of silent meditation, he reasons things out for himself and acquires ideas which ‘his natural guardians have been too lazy or heedless to impress upon him. ; I wonder if there is any way of getting at the real culprits —the higher ups, parents and teachers, whose carelessness make these tragedies. of burning matches and “unloaded pistols’ possible, Why can't we place them on the carpet, and charge them with criminal negligence and make the punishment fit the crime? At this season of the California year, the sun beams down from cloudless skies of blue, its golden light filters through the leafy branches of the trees to make wavering patterns on the ground below. The forests look green and cool but they are carpeted with inflammable substances — pine needles, leaf mould, and sere fallen leaves. Little streams have ¢eased to flow and everywhere is dry grass that crackles beheath the passing breeze. A little spiral of smoke upon the horizon fills the foresters heart with apprehension, for who Knows? This may be the beginning of the holocaust he dreads. Fire wardens on alert twenty four hours of the day. Again and yet again they repeat the same old warnings; ‘“‘break your match before you toss it aside. crush out the last spark in your cigarette stubs, bank the camp fires.” «Heed these warnings and help presérve valuable water sheds and timber land. Safeguard the farming areas and the wild life of the green forests. There are no tasks more dangerous than those of the fireman, so in town and country, in wooded canyons and in your own home town, remember. The very lives of gallant fire fighters may depend upon you. —A,. Merriam Conner. APPEAL FROM POTSDAM ‘ Engrossed though he. is with international problems of grave moment to America and all the world at the Big Three meeting in Potsdam, President Truman has felt it imperative to add his personal appeal for 65,000 more workers for western railroads to those from the War Department, California's congressional delegation and other quarters. ; The crisis mav hardly be exaggerated. Western railroads are handling history's biggest transport job, moving men, stores and equipment over the Rockies and Sierras to Pacific Coast points—and they are woefully short handed. Congressmen from California and many other areas are earnestly seeking solution of transportation problems. A southern congressman, Bulwinkle of North Carolina, appears to be gaining support rapidly for a bill to concentrate governmental authority to supervise the nation’s gigantic rail network in‘the hands of a single federal agency, the Interstate Commerce Commission. This legislation, designed to eliminate jurisdictionol disputes between governmental agencies over supervision of the carriers, is vitally necessary to prevent a repetition of the confusion and delays which resulted when the Justice Department took legal action against the rail lines for doing what the ICC had specifically empowered them to do. Special recruitment committees are being organized in 23 western cities. The War Manpower Commission has granted to railroad employment an “overriding priority” meaning that in numerous cases job seekers may be referred to railroad _ employment offices without reference from previous employers. ae Most Americans sensed that transportation situation is serious. But the overseas appeal from the president himself— '“‘we must keep men and material flowing into the ports as fast as our convoys can transport them to the battle zone’’—has made that seriousness dramatically real—Contributed. LOOSE TALK . . A disquieting example of the danger inherent in loose talk on a matter so vital to California’s agricultural and general prosperity as the Central Valley Project has been provided by Michael W. Straus, assistant Secretary of the Interior, on his current. California tour. _ The origina estimate of the project’s cost has more than doubled—to $362 million. Now Straus blandly announces that in addition to the millions already spent, it will cost $800 million more to finish the job. He adds, with a manner of bringing good tidings, that with such stratospheric spending the . project will become “the biggest potential reservoir to take care of California’s unemployed.” _ Straus ignores or does not realize the fact that spending __ the project into a billion dollar western TVA, which can be the sole basis for so large an estimate would defeat primary can afford to pay. He pays no heed to the fact that congress has been viewing with increased disapproval proposals to -pad the project appropritions with items for.steam plants. transmission lines and other power units not contemplated in the original project. The potent House Appropriations .Committee has advised the Reclamation Bureau that cuts in cost estimates are in order. California leaders, requiring federal funds for the project, have for more than a decade worked intelligently to persuade . the project appropriation with items for steam plants, transcially feasible. It would be an ill flow to this state if the goodwill gained were to be jeopardized through multiplied demands for dubious extraneous proposals. And it would be an ill relief to California farmers to supplant a water famine with water brought to them at a cost beyond their ability to pay. What Straus proposes woud not increase California employment or prosperity. It might well on the other hand nullify the Central Valley Project's essential purposes—if not destroy it entirely. Such loose: talk may be harmful in the extreme.—Contribute. AN AUTO PRODUCER LOOKS WEST Within a decade after the war, production of automobiles in California will rival that of Detroit, in the opinion of'a man highly qualified to speak in that field—Joseph M. Frazer, board channel of Graham-Paige Motors Corp., in California surveying distribution facilities. Mr. Fraser doesn’t think the automotive. industry will “move west’. It will simply expand to the west, to take advantage of California’s war built wealth of skilled labor, ideal manufacturing sites, abundnt cheap power, natural resources and strategic location for shipping to domestic and world magkets—particularly trans-Pacific and Latin American markets. He foresees post war industrial advancement as “a marriage of the east and west, each with something to offer the other.” This appears a sound concept. The rise of Chicago as a great city didn’t hurt New York, the rise of Detroit didn’t restrict Chicago’s development. If California becomes a new western auto making capi-. tal, Detroit will be in no danger of becoming a ghost town in consequence; likely it will be a greater, busier city than ever. Whatever aids in the solid building of California and the west helps build America’s econom The auto maker looks ahead looks west.—Contributed. _ as a whole—and vice versa. isely for his industry when he BETHROTHED The engagement of Miss Barbara Jean Sears to Robert Francis Sch'wa}l of Nicolaus, Sutter County, has been announced in Grass Valley “by Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Sears of North Auburn Street, parents of the bride to be. The wedding has been set for August 10th. Schwall is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Schwall of Nicolaus. SCALING: THINGS DOWN To. compute the diameter of tungsten filament wire, sometimes onefifth as fine as human hair. engineers weight the strands on scales so sensitive they can record two -billin: ths of a pound. Knowing the weight and length of the wire, engineers can easily calculate the diameter. Unable to distinguish calcium tungstate from common limestone under visible light, Rocy Mountain miners now locate the tungstate with the aid of invisible ultra violet ““black light.’’ Vital to electronic tube and lamp manufacture the mineral fluoresces when activated by the ultraviolet, turning into a glowing target for the miner’s tools. eo zHarry Young, whose wife complained_he beat two youlg sons with a stick, appeared ‘before Justice of the Peace George Gildersleeve yesterday. On his promise to produce his four children that they may questioned and examined ‘to see if any marks have been made upon their bodies by ‘beating, he was permitted to go on his own recognizance. wr Telephone—Grass Valley 108 —JUST A REMINDER— We invite our patrons who may find it more convenient to leave laundry and dry cleaning work at 111 West Main Street, Grass Valley (formerly Burtner Cleaners).
