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

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
