TAYLOR Don’t expect or accept government aid in meeting your individual problems, unless you are ready to accent sovernment control and direction of your individual way of life. If America is to remain a democracy in the critical years of reconStruction after the war, that fundamental rule must be understood and observed by the American people. There may have been a time when citizens thoughtlessly sought and accepted government aid and subsidies without recognizing that the acceptance of such assistance meant a comparable loss of economic and political freedom, but certainly the march of regimentation in this country .during the years of. depression and war should have aroused’ even the most unwary to a realization that government hand outs are not without price. Ray B. (Wiser, president of the California Farm Bureau Federation, in a recent address before the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco, expressed the viewpoint of the great majority of California farmers when he declared that agriculture wants the least amount of government control possible—and is prepared to stand on its own feet to justify independence of such control. “The greater the assistance offered by government, the greater its control over producers,’ said the Farm Bureau president. “Then, democracy goes out, and we have the type of government which we do not want.’’ Farmers, through their farm organizations, it might be pointed out, havé consistently opposed food subsidies, even though they stood to profit—at least temporarily—from such subsidies. And the confusion of government controls,” which ‘have plagued both farmers and food handlers, as well as the consuming public, as a result of the food subsidy program, should leave no doubt as to the vital importance of doing away with such artificial controls as speedily as possible. One of the greatest dangers in the present rationing and food subsidy program is that government, having once established its controls, will bitterly resist giving up its war emergency powers when the war ends. Already there have been dispatches from Washington, intimating that both rationing and subsidies will*oe “required” for years to come. But California farmers, no matter how tough their problems may be during the post war years, are not likely to be tempted by offers of government help. (Currently, California also has a striking object lesson that Federal financing of state projects is likely to bring uphappy consequences. Thé Central Valley Water Project is the case in point. The very farmers who put up the original funds ‘to campaign for: the Central Valley Project, so that a new water supply could be developed for their lands, now face a fight to escape being dispossed of their land by Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes under the Ickes plan to turn the Central Valley area into a federal colonization project. Ickes has caused a bill to be introduced in congress which would make him virtually undisputed boss of farm lands in the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys, with power to limit farms in the area to 160 acres. If Ickes can acquire power to limit farms to 160 acres, it is not improbable that he could gradually acquire power to limit them to 50 acres, or any other acreage that his experimental mind might determine upon. The fundamental lesson to be learned from the Central Valley controversy, of course, is that what the federal government pays for, the federal government intends to eontrol and. dominate—and state’s rights go out the window when federal financin. ig comes 8, hand-outs, while they may seem free at the time, all have a price—and a higher price than free men. can afford to pay. In bad as well oe gl of citizens, who prize their economic and political freedom will do well to aeeenet that. as good, farmers, and. In preparation r the large number of scouts Or ad who will make use of Camp Pahatsi, Tahoe Area summer camp near Soda Spring a large number of scouters and junior leaders will invade the high mountains summer camp Sunday, June 18th, going from various communities in Nevada County and arriving at camp at 9:30 a.m. This group will be under the general direction of L. H. Reynolds, camping and activities chairman, and will spend the day in putting the camp i nshape and making necessary repairs. From present indications there will be scouts and scouters from practically every community in. the Tahoe area council. It is also contemplated to hold another work party on the following Sunday, June 25th. As the summer camping season approaches, the camp being rented out for a six week period, starting July 4th to the Marin Council, and the Tahoe Area council’s camp starting on August, 13th and continuing for a two week period—until August 27, it is naturally imperative to make necessary repairs and maintenance for use of the boys of this area. As previously announced, attractive camp folders, giving details of Camp Pahatsi, of the Tahoe Area council, what to bring to camp, application, transportation data and other perti-+ nent information will be mailed to tthe nearly 500. registered scouts throughout Placer, Nevada and western Sierra Counties Gane 20th. This printed folder is being made possible through the cooperation of five offic ial scout outfitters who are: Bennetts and Steel, Grass Valleq, N. J. Cohen, Auburn, William Home, Nevada City, Dimas and Smart, Lincoln and H. A. Richardson, Roseville. Scouts who register for camp will be sent a medical examination blank which must be filled out by a registered physician or family physician within forty eight hours before going to camp, and will also be advis‘ed of the bus s¢hedule. Cost for camp, as announced, will be $10 per week, per scout, plus $3 round trip transportation from Placer County and $2 round trip transportation from Nevada City. Robert H. Frank, scout executive who will again serve as camp director, announces that a splendid staff is being assembled which will give leadership to the scouts who attend Phatsi. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, June 15 — Stanford University’s-: War Training Program offers two new 12-week tuition free courses. in drafting beginning July 10, on the Stanford campus. This government sponsored training is open to high school graduates who have had algebra and geometry.

Sixteen billion; dollars is. the nation’s goal—making this the greatest financing enterprise in the history of the world. Northern California has been giv en a goal of $453,000,000 of which $224,000,000 must be subscribed by individuals. Early reports reaching San Francisco headquarters of the War Finance Committee of Northern California, of which W. W. Crocker is chairman, indicate brisk bond buying in the 47 counties of Northern ‘California. The pace must continue through every day of the campaign, War Finance Committee officials pointed out, if Northern California’s goal is to be reached.

SALVATION ARMY WORKERS WITH THE FRONT LINE From the front in New Guinea a warrant officer wrote to his brother, “IT must say a word about the Salvation Army. If I had a shilling in my pocket I would give ‘him half. All the time the Salvationists were up with the infantry, when the fellows hadn’t had a hot drink for days, the Salvos (nickname for the Salvation Army workers in New Guinea battle fields) would be there with a cake of chocolate and a cheery word. One of them who was well-known was caught in a boobytrap when he was taking a _ hot drink to some troops.” He is one of several who have been killed while serving with the troops during this present war. U.S. FARMERS PRODUCE MORE WITH LESS HELP ‘Although farm population of the United States is four million less than during the last war, American farmers produced 47 per cent more food in 1943°than in 1918, the Office of War Information said in reporting need for four million volunteer farm workers until after harvest this year. With the aid of WIFA and the OPA OWI reported on. the current food situation. Comparing this year with last: apples, peaches, pears and cherries will be more plentiful; slightly less fluid milk and cream‘ will be able; eggs will continue plentiful, Other highlights: wartime increases millions of Americans to. increase their diets; rationing will be needed until the war is won; current point free meats will. remain reasonably plentiful, with some cut of. Better grades less plentiful. The present point holiday on canned vegetables is only vepitlary and. on some meats may . ». temporary; the 1943-44 citrus “production will be 10 per cent higher than last year; the last half of 1944 will show less butter and lard, but more margarine, shortening and vegetable oils than during the first half; . sugar supply is adequate but no increase in household allotments is tn, ame this year. For nutritoinal: reasons,’ the. Teport reommends home production of Vitamin Crich foods, such as tomatoes, and consumption of milk, meat and enriched cereals as ‘sources of riboflavin and niacin.
