' The County Seat Paper NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA The Gold Carter iusiaainnianin Vol. 16, No. 54. Thinking Out Loud By H. M. L. There are four candidates for Representative of the Second Congressional District, two Republicans and © two Democrats. The political pot boils under a warm summer sun. Three of the candidates must spend money and rubber in their campaigns. The fourth may, or may not, depending on conditions as they develope. These conditions involve every Congressman, in Senate or House, up for re-election. Already the Democrats in the House are trying for a break-. ° away from congressional duties by July 20, in order to come home to reassure and reinvigorate tehir discontented constituents. And here is posed a nice question for every Congressman to answer. Will he gain most by staying on the job in this war year, or by leaving his job in order to save it? We don’t pretent to know the answer. If a sentry leaves his post in wartime, without the permission of his superior officers, the penalty is very severe. The superior officers of these men in Congress are ‘we the people.” If they come home for the sole purpose of being re-elected,.we may keep them home. They guessed very badly about the reaction of their superior officers when they voted themselves pensions. They were able, and speedily, to repeal that enactment, but they cannot repeal their negligence if they desert their post in Washington to come home merely to insure that they get another lease on the job. We note in Harry L. En-. glebright’s anuouncement that he states that he has voted for all war measures. That is true if one looks only to his record since December 8, 1941. Before that date he and others of the Republican minority voted against repealing the arms embargo, relaxing the neutrality law, renewing the Hull trade pacts, the lend'ease bill, extending the draft law, arming our merchant ships against the murderous German submarines, and reopening the combat zones. Now as a matter of fact, were it not for the Pearl Harbor attack and declarations. of war, a good many Republicans and not a few Democrats would still consider that Englebright and fellow Republicans had voted wisely. But war changed our minds and now a great many citizens whose hindsight is much better than their foresight, think we need new faces in congressional halls. There is a justification for that attitude. We expect our Congressmen to know more about the real situation in foreign affairs than we do, and in time of war or world-wide crisis, certainly we do not expect them to play politics to the detriment of our country. That is the severest indictment we can bring against the Republicans under the Joe Martin leadership. If Englebright pleads that he had to vote as he did in order to retain his post of Republican whip in the house, then his constituents can say they did not hire him (Continued on Page Two) Candidate For Congress "Re Hendeven INYO REPUBLICAN HOPES TO DEFEAT H. L. ENGLEBRIGHT (GN. P.-A., Inc. Service) _R. R. Henderson, building materials dealer of Lone Pine, announces elsewhere in this issue his candidacy for Congressman subject to the will of both the Republican and Democratic voters of the Second District. Operating a successful business in Lone Pine for 15 years, Henderson +states that.in times-like-these when . others are sacrificing their jobs, . their professions and their business,es, he feels that it is up to him to . forget his. ; . He has also served several years; . j in editing weekly newspapers, and has been a railroad man for four years. Henderson is married and _ the father of three sons. As a ‘business man, Henderson is for simplification in business. The elimination overlapping and -e¢onfusing multi.plicity of governmental bureaucracies is essential to winning the war. He further believes that since the American people have displayed their eagerness to save and skimp to pay the gigantic cost of war, that it is the duty of congress to discontinue of the spending as usal for nonwar purposes. Henderson asserts that the present congress voted a net. .increase over the previous year of more than a billion dollars for ordinary nonwar agencies. He is against the revocation of the second class mailing regulations now or at any future time. After 63 years of this type of postal service and its tremendous contribution in making the American people the most educated and enlightened in the world, he considers it smacks of vindictiveness on the part of congressional members to propose to revoke it because of a somewhat unfavorable press and for the further reason that it is another step in n indirect manner that will effect the “Freedom, of the Press.”’ “Tf the. voters of California District No. 2,” Henderson says, ‘“‘want a memiber of congress that will lead instead of follow, that will be guided by his own best judgment and conscience instead of ‘by the demand of vocal minorities, I will welcome the opportunity to serve them. “The formula for obtaining a better congress is simple, if not easy to accomplish; elect. better congressmen. The congressman to be elected from this district must not only play a major part in winning the war but may also be among those who will be )ealled to help to shape the peace, so all important to the prosperity of our country.’ GARDEN CLUB TO SEE PICTURES The Nevada City Garden (Club will meet tomorrow night at 8:30 o’clock in the social ‘hall of the Methodist Church, ‘where W._ E.

The Miss America float, entered by the Nevada City Parent Teachers Association, was also attractive. Cleo O’Shea was in the role of Miss America. Beverly Bates, daughter of Councilman and Mrs. Al Bates, represented Miss California in a float entered by the Native Sons Lodge. One of the features of the parade was the Nevada City Firemen’s drum corps. Although the corps members had but a few nights practice they beat their drums like veterans.

REMNANTS OF A NOW DEPARTED FOURTH— Nevada City and Grass Valley displayed their patriotism and loyalty to the United States and her armed forces during the Fourth of July parade when they tossed a _ total of $270.31 into an American flag carried by the Native Daughters. of this city. That sum will be Nevada County’s contribution to the Navy Relief, a benefit organization caring for the wives and orphans of U. S. sailors. Frank Finnegan, chairman of the Navy Relief Committee in this county, is overoyed at the response to his appeals for the benefit. The Chinese of Nevada County carried a large Chinese flag in which to toss money and derived a total of $145. This amount was turned over— to H. Ward Sheldon for the Unitea Service Organizations. aii Sheldon revealéd today appoximately $140 was obtained from the concessions operated during the Fourth for the benefit of the USO, Navy Relief, Red Cross and British War Relief. Did you know that for 20 years now Elza Kilroy has taken a leading part in the staging of Fourth of July celebrations in Nevada City and Grass Valley? Well, it’s the truth and this year was no exception. Elza supervised work on three floats in this year’s Fourth parade. : And, speaking of hard workers, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Kemper should not be forgotten. In a very large measure the success of the celebration is due to Mr. and Mrs. Kemper. It’s been many a day since Nevada City has had such an enthusiastic pair of workers for civic and charitable enterprises. : Congratulations, too, to Sheriff Carl J. Tobiassen and his parade lieutenants, especially Bert Chegwidden and Harry Poole of Grass Valley. The latter two stirred up entusiasm for the pprade in Grass Valley. Whoever concocted the idea of benches along the sidewalks certainly received the blessing of many a. weary soul. And everyone thinks it is a good idea and something should be done to have benches established permanently at various places in the business district. That’s a good project for. the Chamber of Commerce and_lIocal businessmen. Many expressed the belief they would come to town more often if they had an opportunity to sit down and rest their feet once in a while. Then, too, there is the social angle. People like to visit but certainly they don’t want to stand up an hour or two on a street corner chatting. A few benches would aid socially in Nevada City. ‘ The jguy in the lion outfit on the Grass Valley Lions Club float: was Moe Kinsman. June Hawke made an attractive Goddess of Liberty and Cleo O’Shea was certainly outstanding as Miss America. Beverly Bates is always beautiful but her gold gown, accentuated with sparkling — popcorn nuggets dded to attract. iveness in the Native Sons float. .
