Those young people have an nkling, at least, of the task that confronts them. Standing on the platform these young Davids selected jive smooth pebbles and hurled them at the massive, brutal brow of Goliath. this Goliath is really nothing but ignorance, born of hatreds, bred to war, and come to power. In different guises he reigns ‘im different countries, but the effect of his rule is the same. The headsman cuts off liberty in one country, the firing squad murders free speech When all is said, in ‘another, the. garotte strangles public opinion in another. Goliath zas come to power. A formidable ana tremendous foe our youngsters are tackling, .yet. enough smooth pebhles coming from slings of a great army of graduates in this country, can turn the trick. England, Ameri“a, and possibly France, must carry the torch through catastrophic years to come, and the youth of these countries will be the torch bearers. it is not for nothing that the edueated, youth of England and_ the United States are banding against war as never before in history.

This was done fact that the city had been wwarded $16,000 SERA project, «nd in order that this sum paid by “ederal authorities for labor might properly utilized, itwas imperative that the city, provide the necessary materials. a result of this eondition, which is té:uporary, the couneil has wisely deferred other improvements in so far as they were able, in order to take full advantage of the SERA park allotment. a he As Occasionally one hears the complaint that the streets are being neglected in order that we may have a beautiful park, or that something else in municipal housekeeping suffers from lack of attention, while the park moves forward. We have little sympathy with these plaints. As a matter of fact the municipal pool will greatly benefit most of the children in this community. It has neen coming to them for ten years. It was long overdue when it was finally built. We submit ‘that, if it really came to a choice, healthful development, healthful recreation for the youth of Nevada City is more important than the city’s streets. But we are not obliged to make that choice. The streets will be cared for in due time.
