Nevada City Nugget — Thursday, June 10, 1943 wa renner behind, to graduate into. future will bring any such world. And there is no honest rea ‘opposition breeds strong character. must meet it. ing. Inthe opinion of foremost industrialists they need not be concerned even at war’s end that they will be “unwanted” economically, as in the depression years. “There is demand enough in sight,’ declared shipbuilder Henry J. Kaiser to Washington State College students, “to keep every productive force in America working to capacity for 25 years! And it took a war to teach us our own tremendous production ability.”’ No, the world that lies ahead for the young men and women now leaving school will not be a soft and easy one. But it will be live, energetic and challenging. It will demand leaders and it will demand men and women trained to think. to study, to plan, to execute, to work with their hands. It will pay premiums for work well done. And it will offer rewards stil] for truth, for justice and for tolerance, as in years past and those to come. WAR’S PROPHECIES Perverse mankind, seldom content with the present, and often unwisely disdainful of the past, always has had an incorrigible curiosity about the future. Since the war began, this human yearning to probe into the unknown, and to look on the course of events before it has been run, has become a world-wide phobia. From darkest Africa to New York’s now dimmed-out Great White Way, fortune tellers ply their trade as never before in our time. And from California's small towns, where mothers long for word of their sons, to the sophisticated night spots in our war-jammed cities, where soldiers and sailors and their girls seek few. hours of forced gayety, men and women of all ages and all stations pray for the gift of prophecy. ; Even the rulers of nations have not escaped the mania. The jittery Nazi government, dipping into the future to find its day of reckoning, comes out with an unqualified announcement that the invasion of Europe will begin on June 22, anniversary of the Franco-German armistice. In Washington, D. C., Kilso K. Haan, American representative of Japaneseoccupied Korea, predicts a Japanese landing (or landing) at Crescent City, and other points on the California coastline, “before October.’’ And in San Francisco, Jay W. Stevens, chief of the fire section of the Office of Civilian Defense, makes the forecast that California will be bombed on July 4. : Gypsy fortune tellers, Hindu crystal gazers, palm readers and those who find destiny in the fall of the cards, spiritualists, and astrologers—all are doing a land-office business, _as_a troubled world seeks occult guidance. To only a few, however, is given the gift of prophecy, although many lay claim to it. But if we cannot know our future, we can have much to do with shaping it. Today, more than ever before in our lifetimes, we have it in our hands to write our own destiny—hby the sweat of our brows, by unceasing labor and selfsacrifice, and by. unswerving allegiance to the cause of freedom. In prayer, and in the quiet of the church, we can find solace and new hope. In the labor our our hands, we can find) deliverance—and the promise of a better tomorrow. That is one prophecy we can rely on. PS OSIRIS tS PTOI S FLAG DAY—1943 In the midst of the bitter battle of Attu, when Jap machine gun and mortar fire made every unguarded movement by our troops a flirtation with death, a big American Flag suddenly appeared on a newly won height, far removed from base of supplies. The Flag was brought there’by a soldier . repeatedly risked his life to get it there; who spent five hours, under constant fire of Jap snipers, climbing a mountain and down through a treacherous canyon, blanketed with deep lows, to carry the emblem of American freedom to a bit of ‘ited States soil just re-won from the enemy. The troops who looked up at that Flag, as it was raised “in Attu’s icy blasts, had fought for three days without food. Many of them were suffering from frozen feet. Some of the ‘wounded were lying on stretchers, waiting to be carried back to their hospital base. But there was.no complaint from that little band of men that their standard bearer had brought the ig, instead of packing in food or medical supplies. For that , flying from a forlorn peak in fog-shrouded Attu, meant meat and drink; even more than morphine to bring pain. To those American boys who had just gone “oF fi 3 Never in history has there been a soft, safe and comfort. \ able world for young men and women, leaving school days'. There is no reason to think the) son to desire it, for softness begets softness, just as strong .

As history goes, . other days of fighting and privation ahead—it was the symbol it is not a new challenge — except to the generation which With the ink yet wet on their diplomas, this year’s graduates will find no dearth of employment.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR AMERICAN HOUSEWIVES family pork, she’s fortunate because she’ll find good point buys since most pork cuts remain unchanged in point values. Since there will be less beef available for civilian consumption this month than in the past two months, points for beef have been increased. So it’s a wise Mrs. America who'll study point charts and find the many cugs of lamb, veal and variety meats which have been given lower points values. In buying these cuts most families will continue to get just about the same amount of meat for their points as in the last ration period. New savings in the cost of meat will be noticed by Mrs. America after June 21 when the roll back on beef, veal, lamb and mutton and fresh pork goIf Mrs. America’s likes ville.

He lived in Downieville for some years before a road was built into the town and recalls the bringing in of an old cannon and huge bell, over the trails. The streets of the. town were too small to accomodate the crowd celebrating the event. He recalled as a small boy that he knew Major Downie, after whom the town was named.

ARMY SEES T0 ITWAACS DONT LOSE FEMININTY Women and clothes are synonymous. With that thought in mind, the designers working for Uncle Sam set about to create a uniform for members of the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps. that would incorporate smartness.and durability. Their success is evident in the expertly fitted uniforms, the contrasting shoes, the hand bag and gloves, all of style and quality not. easily surpassed. In fact the ensemble allottéd each WAAC when she reports for duty would cost a woman in civilian life well over $2150. The Army believes members of their Women’s Corps chould appear feminine first and foremost, therefor they encourage the moderate use of lipstick, rouge, powder and nail polish.
