Thinking Out Loud By H.M. L. Nevada City Nugget COVERS RICHEST GOLD AREA IN CALIFORNIA in wi ifiable ends. ton. From the Californian, . March 15, 1848: The Liberty of the Press consists the right to publish the Truth, th good motives and for just—Alexander Hamilee h Beware the witch hunters! The revival of the Ku Klux Klan in California is symtomatic. The Associated Farmers are warning against extra-legal methods this cowardly organization employs to cow and frighten those they regard as undesirable citizens. But the Ku Kluxers rise and fall with the fluctuations in public sentimeént as pertaining to ‘‘subversive”’ activities. The only absolute water tight case we have heard of lately, and that through Associated Press dis_ patches, is the attempt made to steal a new formula for manufacturing gasoline from its inventor in Los Angeles. Two men apparently of German extraction made the attempt, but the inventor was fortunate enough and brave enough to beat them off and to save his’ precious formula from seizure. ‘That looks like real subversive acttivity and sabotage. This is not to say that we haven’t suspicions of plenty of attempts to sabotage our American system especially here in California. We suspect that Harry Bridges has beeti very busy in this respect since his rise to power in CIO labor circles. But we suspect it only. the deportation hearing in which Bridges figured we looked in vain for any tangible evidence. Our suspicion of Bridges’ activities, -however, is founded on the steady decline in San Francisco’s export and import trade. We believe this due directly to Bridges’ activities. As a result of it thousands of men have been thrown out of employment and we suspect that is what Bridges is working for. These thousands thrown out of work beeome another burden, in one form or another, upon the tax payers, and when the tax payers are bankrupted the time is .ripe for a revolution by ballot box or by arms, and we: become state socialists, devoting all our days to working for the state instead of one third of-them,—as is now the case. We thoroughly dislike Bridges and, in so far as disrupting our American system is concerned, belfeve he is far moré dangerous * than Earl Browder, now Communiist candidate for President, but at the same time we -have been anxious that only legal means be used to rid this country of his odious presence, Once we depart from legal procedures, we are as completely lost as we would be under Black Hand, Ku Klux Klan, Communist or fascist rule. Terrorism is the motivation of all these and as between terrorism and anarchy, let us have anarchy. It is teerrorism that compels Russian and German legions to march to their death. Soon Italians will join the death march. Terrorism rules most of the world because, as is well proved, most men prefer a slave’s life to a hero’s death, But there comes a time when all men revolt against oppression and human freedom, by slow and bloody stages, is restored. We have every confidence that this will come in time to German!, Italy and even to Russia, which has never known freedom. But how much better to maintain human liberty, than to lose it and be compelled to struggle for a : century perhaps, to regain it. That is why it is so important today to avoid witch hunting, that dreadful orgy of fanatic minds so well exemplified in the early history of colonial New England. Let us stick to a government “of — laws rather than to one of-men. Let us not take the law into our own. hands or permit any others to do it. Let us look askance and with deep supicion upon ever organization that advocates or condones extra legal violence against those who, whether innocent or guilty, are under the law entitled to their © day in eourt.

RESEARCHERS AT U. C. DISCOVER NEW ELMEMENT BERKELEY, June 10—A new element has been discovered, a new ‘kind of atom, which, together with a number of other atomic types, both identified and unidentified, makes up the composition of all matter whether it be water, air, iron or salt. Before this discovery there were 92 known elements that went into the recipe for all creation. The latest element is the ninety-third, and it is so new that it has not yet been given a name. This achievement, for which the whole world of science has been waiting, is announced by Dr. Edwin M. McMillan, assistant professor of physies in the University of California and Dr. Phillip Hauge Abelson of the Carnegie Institution, Washington, D. C. Both did their work with the financial aid of Rockefeller Foundation, which recently made a grant of $1,500,000 to the University for the construction of a new cyclotron or atom smasher. The new substance was revealed through experiments on uranium, the heaviest of the known elements. The -investigators bombarded a quantity of this substance, which was specially prepared. in a sheet or layer only one ten thousandth of a milimeter thick. The bombarding agents were atomic particles from the University’s cyclotron. Close and tedious examination revealed that the residue resulting from this bombardment was an entirely new element, which takes its place in the Periodic Table as Element 93. Ed ‘Carey of Washington spent Saturday in ‘Nevada City and visited his many friends. He is an uncle of FROM HEAT STROKE age, was found dead alongside the, railroad track near Bast Bennetts . street in Grass Valley late yesterday . afternoon. An autopsy toda ievagl-. ed death was due to a heat prostra. tion, exhaustion and lack of food. Deputy Coroners LeRoy Turner and Michael Broyer identified the deceased by his social security papers found in his pockets. Officers estimated Murray had been dead twenty four hours when found. The body is at Holmes Funeral Home in Grass . Valley. Coroner A. M. Holmes is attemping to locate relatives. BUTTS IN AND MAMA LION THROWS HIM OUT A. R. Ward, the caretaker at the Palisade Club near Soda Springs, has an uninvited and unwelcome neighbor, according to report given by him to District Ranger John R. Hodgson at the Big Bend ranger station. Ward reports that a~mama mountain lion has moved into a cave just below the group of recreation cabins at the club and apparently has had blessed event. Ward did ot attempt to go into the den to pet the kittens but his dog got too inquisitive and took a pretty swift run out of the neigh-. ‘tborhood. Dog and lion tangled to . close to Ward for comfort so he left; too, but on, the way ba is to his cabin found (three deer carcasses Trecently killed. Ward is \hoping the. state lion hunter will come up and get the cat and family before they. devour all the deer, his dog and possibly sample him. \ SURPLUS FOOD — CANNING URGED AS WAR MEASURE _ SACRAMENTO, June 10. (UP)—Canning of surplus agricultural products to build up a food reserve to carry through the war and post war periods is advocated by Ray B. Wiser, of Gridley, president of the California farm bureau federation. “Foods must be preserved, not destroyed, during this perilous period, Wiser said. “While preparing munitions for destruction food must be preserved for construction.” The farm bureau chief declared it is better to store foods in preparation for a time of emergency than to increase productivity sharply later, as was done during the last war. He pointed out that additional land brought into use during the world war still presents a problem of over_ COMMENCEMENT ADDRESSES OF HI STUDENTS Ed;-Note: The Nugget is publishing the addresses made by graduating students at Friday night’s commencement at the high school. Two of these appear today. The other two will be published next Friday, THE OUTLOOK IN INDUSTRY By BILL WAGNER We have in our country an organization known as the American Youth Commission formed under the influence of the American Council on Education about five years ago. Its duties are threefold: first, to consider youths needs; second, to plan experiments and programs to solve the problems of those needs; and third to promote désirable plans of action. Through the findings of this commission our generation faces two vital facts: one, that one third of the unemployed workers in the United States are from fifteen ‘to twentyfour years old; two, that even in fairly prosperous times young people have had difficulty in getting started at useful employment. Being forearmed with this knowledge, we who face a near future of seeking .work would do well to be alive to all the phases of industry, and to every change in industry, iw this rapidly changing American industrial world. There is no doubt . that vigilance and preparedness must. be the watchword of our fortunes, as they are of the fortunes of war. Many young people look to a war boom as the answer to the question raised by job facts, since President Roosevelt now authorizes the spending of millions for armament. But the Youth Commission believes that such people may be deluded. There will be only two or three million new ‘obs for millions of unemployed, and in the actual employment, it will be the experienced workers that will be in demand, so we must learn about hat is going on in fields where jobs to which we might fit are being ther Time and women’s styles conspired to cut crop conand give America a very nuportant farm problem. But chemistry has heen called to the rescue, and maybe the problem ¢an be solved by finding non-food/uses for the crops through chemistry. The theory of organic chemistry states one of its proponents, applies terrific temperatures and tremendous pressures, 'and a pot of beans becomes an automobile part instead of a bow! of soup. ce When soy beans \were imported from Manchuria, cows urned their noses up at them as fodd. Then the production. : Wiser suggested that his ‘‘food reservior’’ proposal could be accomplished through a system of federal ‘oans to finance preservation and the storage of surplus production and federal underwriting of losses by private institutions making this-type of loan. ; = He said storing of surpluses would remove much of the pressure on ‘the market resulting through loss of export markets in Europe because of, the war, PEACE OFFICER’S JOKE INJURES 2-YEAR-OLD Mr. and Mrs. Hollis Dillard of the bay district called on Nevada City friends Tuesday afternoon and evening. They formerly resided in this district, leaving here a year ago. They had been to the home of Dillard’s brother ‘in Browns Valley to gee their two year. old nephew, Don‘ald, who had been wounded by buckshot on Friday when Game Warden L. E. Mercer and companions sought to play a joke on W. R. Tinnen, another game warden on whose ranch the Dillards reside. Mercer, A, Gan-! strom of Yuba City and Taylor London of Colusa attended the — pistol shoot at Nevada City Friday and decided. to visit Tinnen. When they found Tinnen feeding his chickens they fired their guns near him as a joke. The little child was/ playing in tall grass near the officer and three buckshot from Mercer’s gun entered the child’s body. s Officer on Vacation— reas Lester Hubbard, is taking over the work of Officer Lionel Davies who is Chester Scheemer of the Plaza Groc-. taking a few days vacation from the ery. 7 j Nevada City police force. chemists took a hand, and today soy . beans are used in food products and ,in making plasties for industry. This bean has made a very profitable cash . crop. One ‘engineer has been able to make on automobile engine revolve by exploding charges of starch dust in’ the cylinders. And farm foe alchohol has been blended with gas-\ and tractors. Southern farmers are growing tung trees, native to China. They produce oil used in paints and other products. Since the supply of tung oil from China has been reduced by the Japanese invasion, the development of American tung trees is important. ! Entirely new materials, like ethocel, are being made in the chemistry laboratory from products of the soil, and promise to serve as a base for plastics and lacquers, or to furnish fabric for texitiles. ;;ive chemists; and maybe. there isn’t much room for many of us in the laboratories; but merely being aware of what is being done can be an inspiration to us. We can look forward to a future in which progress does not lag, and we can feel sure that thé front ranks in the procession are still for those who have the will and the energy to go after them. . <ecingnaieaais: ee FUNCTIONING CITIZENSHIP .

RESEARCHERS AT U. C. DISCOVER NEW ELMEMENT BERKELEY, June 10—A new element has been discovered, a new ‘kind of atom, which, together with a number of other atomic types, both identified and unidentified, makes up the composition of all matter whether it be water, air, iron or salt. Before this discovery there were 92 known elements that went into the recipe for all creation. The latest element is the ninety-third, and it is so new that it has not yet been given a name. This achievement, for which the whole world of science has been waiting, is announced by Dr. Edwin M. McMillan, assistant professor of physies in the University of California and Dr. Phillip Hauge Abelson of the Carnegie Institution, Washington, D. C. Both did their work with the financial aid of Rockefeller Foundation, which recently made a grant of $1,500,000 to the University for the construction of a new cyclotron or atom smasher. The new substance was revealed through experiments on uranium, the heaviest of the known elements. The -investigators bombarded a quantity of this substance, which was specially prepared. in a sheet or layer only one ten thousandth of a milimeter thick. The bombarding agents were atomic particles from the University’s cyclotron. Close and tedious examination revealed that the residue resulting from this bombardment was an entirely new element, which takes its place in the Periodic Table as Element 93. Ed ‘Carey of Washington spent Saturday in ‘Nevada City and visited his many friends. He is an uncle of FROM HEAT STROKE age, was found dead alongside the, railroad track near Bast Bennetts . street in Grass Valley late yesterday . afternoon. An autopsy toda ievagl-. ed death was due to a heat prostra. tion, exhaustion and lack of food. Deputy Coroners LeRoy Turner and Michael Broyer identified the deceased by his social security papers found in his pockets. Officers estimated Murray had been dead twenty four hours when found. The body is at Holmes Funeral Home in Grass . Valley. Coroner A. M. Holmes is attemping to locate relatives. BUTTS IN AND MAMA LION THROWS HIM OUT A. R. Ward, the caretaker at the Palisade Club near Soda Springs, has an uninvited and unwelcome neighbor, according to report given by him to District Ranger John R. Hodgson at the Big Bend ranger station. Ward reports that a~mama mountain lion has moved into a cave just below the group of recreation cabins at the club and apparently has had blessed event. Ward did ot attempt to go into the den to pet the kittens but his dog got too inquisitive and took a pretty swift run out of the neigh-. ‘tborhood. Dog and lion tangled to . close to Ward for comfort so he left; too, but on, the way ba is to his cabin found (three deer carcasses Trecently killed. Ward is \hoping the. state lion hunter will come up and get the cat and family before they. devour all the deer, his dog and possibly sample him. \ SURPLUS FOOD — CANNING URGED AS WAR MEASURE _ SACRAMENTO, June 10. (UP)—Canning of surplus agricultural products to build up a food reserve to carry through the war and post war periods is advocated by Ray B. Wiser, of Gridley, president of the California farm bureau federation. “Foods must be preserved, not destroyed, during this perilous period, Wiser said. “While preparing munitions for destruction food must be preserved for construction.” The farm bureau chief declared it is better to store foods in preparation for a time of emergency than to increase productivity sharply later, as was done during the last war. He pointed out that additional land brought into use during the world war still presents a problem of over_ COMMENCEMENT ADDRESSES OF HI STUDENTS Ed;-Note: The Nugget is publishing the addresses made by graduating students at Friday night’s commencement at the high school. Two of these appear today. The other two will be published next Friday, THE OUTLOOK IN INDUSTRY By BILL WAGNER We have in our country an organization known as the American Youth Commission formed under the influence of the American Council on Education about five years ago. Its duties are threefold: first, to consider youths needs; second, to plan experiments and programs to solve the problems of those needs; and third to promote désirable plans of action. Through the findings of this commission our generation faces two vital facts: one, that one third of the unemployed workers in the United States are from fifteen ‘to twentyfour years old; two, that even in fairly prosperous times young people have had difficulty in getting started at useful employment. Being forearmed with this knowledge, we who face a near future of seeking .work would do well to be alive to all the phases of industry, and to every change in industry, iw this rapidly changing American industrial world. There is no doubt . that vigilance and preparedness must. be the watchword of our fortunes, as they are of the fortunes of war. Many young people look to a war boom as the answer to the question raised by job facts, since President Roosevelt now authorizes the spending of millions for armament. But the Youth Commission believes that such people may be deluded. There will be only two or three million new ‘obs for millions of unemployed, and in the actual employment, it will be the experienced workers that will be in demand, so we must learn about hat is going on in fields where jobs to which we might fit are being ther Time and women’s styles conspired to cut crop conand give America a very nuportant farm problem. But chemistry has heen called to the rescue, and maybe the problem ¢an be solved by finding non-food/uses for the crops through chemistry. The theory of organic chemistry states one of its proponents, applies terrific temperatures and tremendous pressures, 'and a pot of beans becomes an automobile part instead of a bow! of soup. ce When soy beans \were imported from Manchuria, cows urned their noses up at them as fodd. Then the production. : Wiser suggested that his ‘‘food reservior’’ proposal could be accomplished through a system of federal ‘oans to finance preservation and the storage of surplus production and federal underwriting of losses by private institutions making this-type of loan. ; = He said storing of surpluses would remove much of the pressure on ‘the market resulting through loss of export markets in Europe because of, the war, PEACE OFFICER’S JOKE INJURES 2-YEAR-OLD Mr. and Mrs. Hollis Dillard of the bay district called on Nevada City friends Tuesday afternoon and evening. They formerly resided in this district, leaving here a year ago. They had been to the home of Dillard’s brother ‘in Browns Valley to gee their two year. old nephew, Don‘ald, who had been wounded by buckshot on Friday when Game Warden L. E. Mercer and companions sought to play a joke on W. R. Tinnen, another game warden on whose ranch the Dillards reside. Mercer, A, Gan-! strom of Yuba City and Taylor London of Colusa attended the — pistol shoot at Nevada City Friday and decided. to visit Tinnen. When they found Tinnen feeding his chickens they fired their guns near him as a joke. The little child was/ playing in tall grass near the officer and three buckshot from Mercer’s gun entered the child’s body. s Officer on Vacation— reas Lester Hubbard, is taking over the work of Officer Lionel Davies who is Chester Scheemer of the Plaza Groc-. taking a few days vacation from the ery. 7 j Nevada City police force. chemists took a hand, and today soy . beans are used in food products and ,in making plasties for industry. This bean has made a very profitable cash . crop. One ‘engineer has been able to make on automobile engine revolve by exploding charges of starch dust in’ the cylinders. And farm foe alchohol has been blended with gas-\ and tractors. Southern farmers are growing tung trees, native to China. They produce oil used in paints and other products. Since the supply of tung oil from China has been reduced by the Japanese invasion, the development of American tung trees is important. ! Entirely new materials, like ethocel, are being made in the chemistry laboratory from products of the soil, and promise to serve as a base for plastics and lacquers, or to furnish fabric for texitiles. ;;ive chemists; and maybe. there isn’t much room for many of us in the laboratories; but merely being aware of what is being done can be an inspiration to us. We can look forward to a future in which progress does not lag, and we can feel sure that thé front ranks in the procession are still for those who have the will and the energy to go after them. . <ecingnaieaais: ee FUNCTIONING CITIZENSHIP .
