For two days it rained, a cold drizzle that slanted into the dust. And the dust became mud. And this slowed them in their flight, caked the wheels of their carts, seeped through the shoes of those on foot. There were five million of them. Newsmen who watched their flight wrote of a “river of misery.’” These people were not strone. becaure the strong had stayed to fight for their homes. They were women, children and the aged. They looked furtively over their shoulders for a last glimpse. Those who were there remembered how the lowhanging clouds reflected the flash of artillery-fire into their .tormented faces. At night they took to the woods and attempted to doze in wet. make-shift shelters. And because the rumble of guns made it impossible to sleep or even rest, they moved on. : Coming up from the south were troops advancing to join against the enemy. So they took to one side of the _ road, crowding into: the ditch where horses in their traces lay exhausted and where automobiles lay abandoned with empty fuel tanks. The next day was clear; menacingly clear, and the soldiers kept looking to the sky. And that which they feared happened. At first it was a distant hum. Then the small black dots in the sky grew larger and before they knew it these planes swept down upon them to strafe with machinegun-fire the north-bound troops. But there was no use in screaming to the sky that they bore no arms, that they wanted no part of this war. : : They trod on, through Tours, Poitiers, Limoges, Vichy, on to Bourgés and to Nevers. And by that time they saw this flag. It was a red cross on a cean field of white. Many wept. __They were so hungry, tired and harassed they could not eat. Their feet were swollen and when the last shred of stockings were removed, their feet were bathed in clean water. They flung themselves upon cots and slept for the first time to heal their tired bodies. ‘ } There was an old man who died, and there was a mother! who clutched heridead child while her soul bled with grief. ! There were some who had brought money, but they, too, were hungry because in their flight there had been no food for their money to buy. __. The disheartening plight of these millions has deeply . moved the heart of every American. Yet we cannot be con-. tent with mere sympathies. The cry for food and clothing and: for clean surgical dressings to bind wounds cannot be answered with laments. Tears are not enough. Our thankfulness for peace and security must be translated into tancible assistance. We can do this through the American Red Cross. Already millions of American dollars have purchased Red Cross mercy ‘supplies that have been needed so urvently in Finland. Poland and other war-stricken nations. This greater need that grows hourly in France must be met with greater response. And remember that this response must be prompt and generous. Give what you can and give through the Red Cross. 'Your contribution, large or small, whatever you can afford, is vital in answering this challenge. British Labor Speaks _ A few years ago, when the great British general strike was called, Ernest Bevin was its leader. He cried. out that labor was denied its rights, was crushed, was abused in Eng-' land. That general trike was broken, and the man who played the mapor part in breaking it was Winston Churchill. _ Last week, still the leader of 6,000,000 trade unionists, but also now—at the request of Prime Minister Winston sorely at bay, Ernest Bevin made an impassioned appeal to British labor. “There will be no strikes during this war. We are appealing to management now to keep machines in constant use a full 24 hours each day, seven days a week. For the moment, British labor wants only the reward of peace and security. If our British fortresses of trade unionism is destroyed, unionism is fatally hit throughout the world. If we: go down, trade unionim goes down everywhere. That is the reason that I as a trade unionist am in this war to the bitter end. These next three months will be vital, critical months. We must hold on. As the prime minister has told you, “We shall never surrenworld for us all.” : ___ In the hot glare of danger to all that men have gained under democratic processes, in the face of the steel and flame of armed might created by virtual slave labor under domacracy hating dictatorships, the scales of delusion are falling from the “407 Mim street Nevada County Photo Center PHONE 67 Portraits, Commercial Photography, <4 8 Hour Kodak Finishing, Old Copies, .

How futile the past strikes and lockouts, soapbox orations and “‘class”” jealousies seem now in distraught England—where conservative Prime Minister and trade unionist Ernest Bevin together cry: ‘““We dare not surrender—for surrender to our democracy means death to the liberties of us all!’’-—Contributed. Campfires and Catastrophes 4 With California forests rapidly drying under summer sun. forest service officials this week issued a public reminder that it is illegal to build a campfire in any national forest area, or to light fires in auto trailer stoves, without obtaining an official permit to do so. Permits are issued without charge to all who apply and sign an agreement to abide by comprehensive fire safety rules while in forests. That law is a good one. Yet, its principal value is to come demons of catastrophe through the slightest careless. ness. No law can prevent a heedles tourist or camper from . tossing a smouldering cigaret butt or match into the tinder of underbrush, nor from leaving a campfire without being sure! that the last ember is cold. The only law that can be adequate against such disasters is the law of common sense._It is the duty of every vacationist to impose that law upon himself, serve as a reminder that campfires built for pleasure may be. For party chieftains, the day of days draw near! Z Platforms are being written; caucuses ‘are being held; silk hats are coming out of storage; the bands are warming up—and state_ delegations are making frenzied last-minure preparations before boarding their special trains for the national party conventions. California’s delegation to the Republican National Convention, which convenes in Philadelphia on June 24, is organized and ready to go. Most of thé delegates will leave by special train from Oakland within the next few days. Preceding other members of the delegation East, Preston Hotchkiss of San Marino, California member of the resolutions and platform committee is already Philadelphia-bound to be on hand for pre-convention sessions on platform and policy. National Committeeman William F. Knowland, is also going ahead of the delegation proper to sit in with national committeemen from other states in making final plans for the convention. Breaking precedent, members of the G. O. P. resolutions and platform committee will meet in Philadelphia for a full week before the convention opens, whipping the _ party’s platform into. shape, so that it will be ready for presentation when the gavel falls. This is the first time in the party’s history that the platform committee has done its work in advance of the opening of the convention—but apparently the: Republican stalwarts have decided that the issues confronting the nation are of such transcending importance that
every plank in the platform must be carefully fashioned and nailed down. The Demcratic delegation from California, headed by Governor Olson—and including two Garner delegates, in addition to the Roosevelt slate—still has considerable organization work to complete, but the Democratic convention which will be held at Chicago, isn’t scheduled to open until July 15. Secretary of State Paul Peek has proposed that California’s Democratic delegates combine with delegates from Oregon, Washington and Nevada in special train arrangements, And if this is agreed to, the delegates from all three states will meet in San Francisco and spend a day at the Treasure island exposition before leaving for the East on July 10. : The Republican delegation from California is uninstructed, and thus far there has been no hint as’to whether it will go for Dewey, Vandenberg, Taft—or the up and coming “dark horse’, Wendell Willikie. “BILTONG”? URGED FOR TROOPS CAPETOWN, South Africa (UP) —‘Biltong”’ for the British army has been suggested to the defense department of South Africa; One shipload of “‘biltong’’ could last an army for months, thus freeing boats for other necessities. It is the sun-dried meat of the antelope and of oxen. ‘CANDI DATES CARY S. ARBOGAST INCUMBENT .

Even the left wing People’s World newspaper castigated Patterson when he trimmed his anti-Roosevelt sails and took a new tack in support of the president. The adage that ‘the mice play when the cat’s away” is always true when the governor leaves. the capitol for any length of time. The normal tension eases off and a good many executives leave town, too. Sacramento thas been a pretty dead place for the last several weeks while Governor Olson was,in the south on business and then made a lecture swing up the coast as far as Fort Bragg in the north, The governor remained out of Sacramento almost all last summer while his office was being remodeled. Summer in Sacramento is a bit on the warmish side. It may become what the same this year because of the election campaigns. Olson will be gone most of July with his participation in the Democratic convention in Chicago, and will be out stumping the state prior to the August primary. Incidentally, Olson need have no fears while he is out of the state with the Democratic delegation. Some thought that Patterson might United Press Staff Correspondent SACRAMENTO, June 10.— (WP) — The reelection campaifn of “economy bloc’ anti-administration Democrats in the assembly have Republicans al} over the state more worried than they care to admit. _ This little band of a dozen DemSacramento county offers a good example. Earl Desmond and Chester Gannon forsook the Democrats and led the economy bloc. Both are running for reelection. The Republicans can’t quite decide whether it would be easier. to defy tradition and support two Democrats and still have their votes in the legislature, or to risk alienating their friendship by pushing Republican aspirants for office. There are similar situations up and down the state. The easiest solution was offered by Clyde Watson, conservative Democrat of Orange, who changed his resignation to Republicon and hopes to be nominated and elected on the combined vote of Republicans and conservative Bourbons. } While Governor Olson has withdrawn his demands 4or “purge” of these unfriendly democrats, there will be intense pressure just’ the same. The position of Anson W. Ford, Los Angeles supervisor and candidate for United States senator, seems to be improving with every new inconsistency of Lt. Gov. Ellis E. Patterson, who also wants the Democratic nomination. Political observers give neither one, however, much chance. to slow up veteran Hiram Johnson in his drive for reelection. Ford’s best opportunity to collect votes and support will be in his connection with the Roosevelt third term delegation. Ford will be on the same train, in the same hotel, and in close touch with Governor Olson and State Democratic Chairman Paul governor, since he and the Olson do not see eye to eye.
