SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year (In Advance) --------------------------= P peste ; . : . 30 cents One Month ....-----------------------------------a HOLLYWOOD WAR “The trouble is we are fighting two wars—a real war . and a kind of Hollywood war. And thus far we have only been winning the Hollywood war. vo With that comment in an essay 1n its current issue on our progress during six months of war, Life magazine puts its finger squarely on one of the most fundamental criticisms ; to be made. of the Roosevelt administration in 1ts handling of the war program. * “ More particularly, it is 2 criticism of the administration's . habit of treating the people like pampered children who must have their news artificially sweetened. But the criticism goes even deeper because, as Life points out, the government is not only telling us about the war in Hollywood terms, but it is fighting it, particularly on the home front, like a Hollywood wear. The real war. Life explains, so far has been a series of military defeats and reverses for which the administration cannot in any way be blamed. “But Washington (the administration. the bureaucracy, the congress) must be blamed,’ the magazine adds, “for trying to win a Hollywood war—or indeed, for fighting that kind of wer at all : “The Hollywood war is a war of props and scenery. In the Hollywood war a hit-and-run crack at the Japs in the Coral Sea is allowed to pass as a major victory——each sinking of a Jap ship rates a boastful paragraph in a communique, but ow own casualties are concealed. . ‘In the Hollywood war it is blithly announced on the “highest authority that somehow American ingenuity will solve the rubber shortage with something——when and how not ’ stated. We are told in the Hollywood war that U. S. war pro duction is now “over the hump” without being warned that U. S. military technology has not yet caught up with the Axis. “And the White House still hesitates to appoint an information chief strong enough to switch from a Hollywood basis to a real one.” _ That such a switch is in order, and in fact long overdue, can hardly be denied.—Sacramento Union. CCC SHUTDOWN The Civilian Conservation Corns—-most successful and widely-approved of all the New Deal’s social experiments—is on the way to becoming a casualty of war, if congress is not pressured out of its present notion of abolishing the CCC. From its inception. the CCC has escaped most of the criticism that has been leveled at other alphabet agencies of the New Deal. In peacetime, its works were almost all to the good. But it so happens that wartime has left the “Cees” without a legitimate function to perform and every attempt to justify its continued operation falls flat, because the men it trained and the kind of training it gave are the very men and the very training that are needed in the armed forces today. And the projects the CCC undertook are the kind of projects that can well be held in abeyance until peace returns. Here is one New Deal “‘social gain’ then. that is goine overboard for the duration —and vet it may be anticipated that there will be a rebirth of the CCC or a_ similar agency when the war is over. There are a number of other such social agencies that should be on the same “‘closed-for-the-duration”’ list. With most of these depression agencies, as with the CCC their chances of being revived at some future time when they can really be of some use wotild be much better if they kent faith with the public now, admitted there is no legitimate wark for them to do, and quit trying to justify themselves as essen. tial to the war effort. —-— =) } J I wonder at the strength of little words— Familiar words we learned in days of old, Each one the symbol.of some precious thing Above the worth of rubies and fine gold, Such words have power to bring to mind The airy day dreams of our earlier youths. To light the unknown way that lies ahead And lead us onward in the paths of truth. I wonder why as our language grew from century to century, the smallest words were chosen to symbolize the greatest and most important values. However, such is the case. There is the word love, for instance, eomposed of but four letters, yet, it represents the freatest thing in the world—a law of life and conduct upon which man‘kind must rely in the building of a better world to be. What an array of small words we find in constant daily use. Hone. joy, play, work, do, dare, hate, fear. They fall glibly from our tongues but ‘tthe forces and emotions which they represent, the deeds they suggest, are}) all powerful, for good or ill, to influence our minds and characters, determine our actions or in a wider sphere, to shape the destinies of man and nations. Almost lost among the voluminous pages of the dictionary, are three very small words whose potential powers are enormous. eir mark is upon every one of us, therefore, make use of them only after due consideration. Remember that thrones have tottered and empires have fallen be_eause the word yes was used when no should have been the answer, or visa versa. Then there is the tiny word, if. How many times it pops up to bid ms pause, to slow down our enthusiasms and to. destroy our confidence in ourselves and the tasks we hope to do. Sometimes it is well worth heeding this little word_if, but there are times when we should counter it with a sturdy, can do, and go right on, overcoming obstacles and forging ahead --on the r before us. Sat eone once said, the most beautiful words in the English language are, mother, home and heaven;”’ I have never been quite satisfied with that forthright assertion. May I-be allowed to amend it after this fashion, father, mother,-home and heaven? I think no one who has enjoyed the loving companionship of a devoted father will object. (As father’s day draws near may we say, all henor to fathers and. mothers the world over and to the homes over which they preside.

We hope, on you, long hair looks nice. Buy bonds, pay taxes with your money: Who cares if, long haired, you look funny? Barbers—must you raise your cost? . Brown or gray hair touched with frost,Or blonde hair, when it’s grown too long, hse Will make folks think we’ve something wrong. Also, it obstructs our view, When playing golf, wrecks follow through. Barmers, if you commit this: act, We'll all go Hollywood, in fact. Let hair about our shoulders hang, Perhaps romote ‘a frontal bang. Or else we’ll cut our own fair tresses And stuff it in our mattresses. ‘Save the money in our pockets, And give it all away in lockets. Barbers. have you got no soul? You foster haircuts a la bowl! Every child a Frankenstein, With long hair matted, coarse as twine. Where we, before, wore hats instead, Fur caps will bloom on every head. Or else our clippings must be spaced, Till hirsute gravity is nigh erased. We’ll shave our heads like a billiard ball, Won’t need. to have them trimmed till fall. Frankly, this raise has us all appalled: We begin to wish we were totally bald. We hate to look like mad Rasputin. Banbers, pardon this disputin’, For you folks, too, have need .of jack, So in conclusion, we take it back. S. P. Load 85 Pct.

JOHN R. BELL tions of western Nevada County. He is organizing groups of fire prevention and fighting units amongst the farmers, ranchers and rural home owners. This work is being accomplished through the cooperation of the Nevada County Defense Council and Co-ordinator C. K. Heffren, has been assisting him. Groups have been organized or are being formed, in the following districts: North San Juen, Chicago Park, Lime Kiln, Wolf, LeBarr Meadows, Union Hill and Cedar Ridge. Others are being contacted as fast as time will allow. Sharp stated, in discussing the fine response of these people, ‘“‘due to the long rainy season the growth of grass and shrubbery has been the greatest in many years. When the fire season arrives this growth will bé as dry as tinder and the fire hazard in Nevada County will be the greatest in many years. ‘Coupled with this fact is: the shortage of men to fight fire. In the event any act of sabotage resulted in a grass brush o timber fire, we ‘would be practically helpless to fight it without tne help of the volunteer units now being signed up for training.” County Defense Chairman Vernon Stoll in urging that all rural residents join in this work stated. ‘‘the foresight of these patriots who have volunteered for this work, is to he praised. They have volunteered their time and equipment to protect the eounty from what might be a very disasterous fire season without their help. I hope that other rural citizens will contact Mr. Sharp and sign up for this important defense work.” Nemecracies Have Best Soldiers, Says French Army Officer LOS ANGELES, June 15.—‘‘Pro_'vided you arm him with modern weapons, the soldier of the democracies will prove a better fighting man than the Nazi,” declares Captain Already handling the greatest thern Pacific has an even greater wartime load in prospect, but with the effective working relationship with the military and the cooperation of shippers; it will carry the extraordinary load with only such delays as war conditions may make inevitable. : . President A. TT. Mercier,, back from an extensive trip over Southern Paeifie’s lines and. across the country, makes . this encouraging comment in a message to the railroad’s employes in the current issue of the company magazine.. The load Southern Pacific carried in 1941, measured by tons hauled one mile, was more than 56 per cent greater than the boom-time record load of 1929, and so far this year is more than 85 per cent greater than in the same period of 1929, Mercier says.
