L. “There goes my last refrigerator,” remarked a merchant as his truck driver trundled a 1942 model across the sidewalk for delivery. The war is bringing hardships to some lines of business in Nevada County and to others is proving a boon. Durable geods, such as refrigerators and household appliances, with few exceptions will not he mantfactured again until the war is over. Merchants handling these lines find themselves with plenty of customers with money in their jeans, but nothing much to sell them. On the other hand, grocery and dry goods dealers, of paints, miscellaneous household articles, not made of metal, find trade extremely brisk. One of the factors in this shift in -business activity is due to the increasing number of consummers who have freed themselves from instalment payments. Most wage earners in this territory are achieving the fifth freedom—freedom from debt. They are turning their attention to making small improvements in the appearance and comfort of their homes, in its furnishing and its convenience. A great many find that they can live better than they used to do when a large part of the family income had to go for installments on cars, refrigerators and washing machines. payroll of our concerned, So. far as the mining industry is down to about half the amount that it was three years ago. We have lost about 50 per cent of the number employed in the peak years of 1937 to 1939. But a reoeent survey reveals the fact that a considerable number of our citizens, many of them miners, are emiployed in the construction of (Camp Bedale. The weekly. checks from this source cashed in Nevada (City and Grass Valley total almost $50,000. Apparently the eounty has traded a large part of its mine payroll for a share in the Camp Beale payroll, perhaps amounting to $200,000 per month. Not so many Nevada County men are employed at Camp Beale, as have left the mines here} but their wages are often double those maid by the mine companies, which are, of course. unable to compete with wartime wage scales. The construction work at Camp Beale will probably continue until October. Then there will be another shift in employment and in business conditions. Some 40,000 soldiers, including men training in aviation, artillery, and tank operation are expected to move in. Roughly this will mean a camp payroll of more than $2,000,000, because all privates in the army now receive $50 a month. Of those men now employed in eonstruction at the camp, many will return to mine employment in this county, especially those who have their homes here. Others will follow their contractor employer probably, to other jobs of construction. Whether Nevada City and Grass Valley will receive as large a share of the soldiers’ pay eheck as is now received from the workmen employed at Camp Beale, is a guess. But we believe it will probably exceed $200,000 a month. The experience of other communities. and towns in the vicinity of other military estaiblishments, is that soldiers whenever they have leave explore their environment. They vigit picture theatres, buy meals. in resaurents, patronize cafes and bars, and generally seek recreation. As a rule they spend their money freely as long as it lasts. The businesses mentioned have their share of good days when the soldiers come to town. (Nevada County can offer the trainees at Camp Beale much more than amusements, food and drink. and purveyors--}THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1942.

TUNGSTEN ORE HITS NEW PEAK SAICRAMENTO, July 9.—(UP)— State division of mines officials said today that California mines already ihave exceeded their World War TI tungsten production and have become the dominant -source of the searce material for’ the United Nations. The division reported that California production in 1940 passed the $2,000,000 mark for the first. time since 1918, with production valued at $2,267,135. The peak year for production in the state was 1916 When $4,471,521 worth of tungsten was produced. Officials. said that the tonnage ‘produced in 1916 is being exceeded this year, although the value will not be approached because of the inflated prices prevailing in 1916. The major supply of the world’s tungsten formerly was. taken from China, now cut off by the war.

The wives of John ONeill and Tom Arden, local newspapermen, ‘extinguished with a garden hose a grass fire which started in a vacant lot near their homes ‘but the funny thing hungry fo news, didn’t hear a-thing about the fire until Jack Williams, a neighbor, spilled the beans.

Take the Nevada City rationing group for inThey are doing a fine job in allocating tires-to eligible persons but you would think they were hoarding all the tires for themselves the way rumors circulate. But there are no members of the local rationing board enjoying special priviliges. Jack Osborne still has the tires he had when the war Started and they are getting smoother and smoothe every day. And George Calanan rarely takes out his big car because of the condition of the rubber. Calanan now uses his old car, which he had tried to give away for months but no one would take it. He managed to buy five used tires from someone at Columbia Hill and is now navigating about in the old bus. To show you what the rationing board is up against acantonment ed a permit to buy a new car mind you! Cantonment workers who carry at least five passengers have been getting tires but that was the first demand for a new car. He threatened to telegraph to Leon Henderson when his request for a permit to.buy a new car was not given. There was a movement underway to have a drinking fountain installed in front of the Morgan and Powell Building. Tony Rore said he will appear before the city council at its next meeting to determine whether the city would approve having a fountain installed. The water would be iced from Bud Kyle’s refrigeration plant. : And along with that idea there are many who would like to see a few ‘benches placed at various spots in the business district.
