STIS <s saamiaaneninial —— Nevada City Nugget 305 Broad Street. Phone 36. A Legal Newspaper, as defined by statute. Printed and Published at Nevada Cl!ye-i_ 6 Editor and lus.--H. M. LEETE Published Semi-Weekly, Monday ana It itsday at Nevada City, California, and entertd as Ma matter of the second class in the postoffice at Nevada City under Act of Congress, March 3, L879.

Byrnes, presented some conclusive figures on overwhelming war pro_ duction. said. “During the year, we will double the size of our fleet. ‘‘In the month of May this year we produced three times as many pieces of artillery for ground troops as we did in ail nineteen months of the last war. Be ‘We are building merchant ships four times as fast as they are being sunk. ; ‘America has turned out 2,225,000 machine guns since . it began to rearm. “In 1943’s first five months 100 fighting ships were finished— almost as many as were finished in the entire year of 1942. a : “Our production of high explosive powder has been six times greater than during the last war. ‘We have shipped to lend-lease, countries almost twice as many motor vehicles as we produced for ourselves alone in the last war. If all these vehicles were parked bumper to bumper they would reach twice across North Africa.” Mr. Byrnes went on to describe the remarkable achievements of America’s new inventions such as radar, the locator which is giving us fighting superiority over the Axis. the new destroyer escort which is hunting down enemy subs, and other ingenious new developments. This tribute is paid to the same American industry which the Axis powers thought capable only of producing refrigerators, washing machines, and other essentially peacetime products. Little did our enemies realize that while free American enterprise was engaged in manufacturing the everdyay conveniences which gave to the American people the highest living standard in the world, it was at the same time building up the skill and the know-how that are being so efficiently applied in the present emergency. a , KNOW-HOW AND TAXES ' All over the country, in hundreds of war production _ plants, managers, engineers, designers, mechanics, assemblers and others are demonstrating the industrial know-how that has so long played a vital part of our industrial growth and progress in both peace and war. From plant after plant came reports of savings—savings in the use of critical materials, in time required for production, in overall manufacturing costs—savings in design, fabrication, assembly, and in shipping space. Loge. One automotive company alone was able to save the government $169,178.141 on last year’s production. This amount is equivalent to giving the government—cost free— cannon and 450 interceptor planes. In hundreds of other cases exceptional savings in time, money, and material have been made through the application of mass production technique and the development of entirely new manufacturing processes or in the application of entirely new principles or products. For instance, the 45-calibre submachine gun which before the emergency cost the, government $225 has been replaced by an equally effective weapon which costs only $21. And in another case the 50-calibre aircraft guns: which used to cost $1,000 can now be produced for $400 and in the rede‘sign 52 pounds of steel and 2 pounds of bronze are saved. JUST WONDERIN’ I wonder how long, long ago, In paleolithic days, The puny races of mankind Pursued their devious ways. They surely knew both fear and want— How other could it be, Wheén grotesque monsters stalked the land And swam the ancient sea? I wonder how our remote ancestors managed to survive the deadly perils of the paleolithic age. Try to imagine condi‘tions existent upon the earth during that period of time and your imagination will not only be stagerged, it will positively be laid low. “The first plane manufactured since we began our war. production program came off the assembly line today,” he; 1,000 medium tanks, 200 torpedo boats, 2,000 anti-aircraft . ion es . TE TR PET i ‘in CulttieH HH Ml ci Sina Lo f de A aii in supreme power which had placed him in a world of terror and destruction. He was, I surmise, too busy with the problems of material existence to find much time for spiritual speculation. Freedom from fear and want were unknown to men of the old stone age. Fear and want drove them to seek shelter in caverns of the earth, to find comfort in the companionship of their kind, to improve their latent abilities, to develop their scanty resources, until at length with infinite patience and indmitable will, they created their crude stone weapons of warfare and proceeded to club, hack and spear their perilous way to a somewhat safer and better state of existence. I hold no brief for fear and. want—I shall be glad when they are banished from the human scheme of existence; but these primitive forces are not always deterrents, in many cases they act as incentives; forcing initiative, developing ingenuity, arousing combative instincts and the indomitable will to create. When at long long last, these twin tormenters of humanity have been destroyed, historians will record that through the centuries, they instigated many activities which were of truly constructive worth and we of today, in pondering the subject, are often forced to admit with Manzanita Ike, that ‘adversity has a use."’-—A.

It is equal to the strength of 2!/ horses working steadily eight hours. Other war industries are also requiring more and more power service. Electric power demands have reached new peaks. To meet the 1942 peak power demand, more than 300,000 horsepower of generating ca: pacity was added to our interconnected system. There they were, our poor little ancestors, in a strangely ‘crude and inhospitable world, surrounded by breath taking dangers, and no criterion to go by. The land-was ruled by fearsome beasts of gigantic size and menacing mein, evil eyed . saurians lolled in every primordial pool, while ptredactyls and other terrifying winged creatures darkened the skies above. There didn't seem to be one chance in a million that mere man could survive under such awe inspiring circumstances, but he did! and with inordinate temerity, undaunted faith and courage, he set about the task of subduing the mad: beasts about them, conquering the forces that beset’ him and creating a safer world for himself and his decendants. I wonder what the four freedoms would have meant to our very greatest great grand fathers. Freedom of speech was of course immaterial. Paleolithic man had few words and these were mostly grunts and gestures, then too it was un‘wise to chatter when and where one’s voice might attract the ‘attention of huge meat devouring monsters against which one ad rio adequate means of defense. As for religious freedom, Primitive man must have harbored wierd conceptions of a To speed war work in 1943, additional power plants now being rushed to completion will add another 300,000 horsepower of capacity di ring this year and that also will be . fully employed in the all-out war effort. To keep California “power-full in production” and to meet the new demands of an allout fighting war’ is the determination of this company’s 12,000 employees. It is their pledge to the more than 2100 P.
