SUBSCRIPTION RA'LES One vear (In Advance) -.:.-..0. 4222.. $3.00 One NOnGh 2.0.. occ ea 30 cents ae WHY SHOULD THE JAPS BOTHER? Perhaps there is a menace to western forests in the bombs the Japs are sending across the Pacific in paper balloons, but aren't they rather wasting their efforts? The destruction of our timber lands is being pdetty well taken care of by our own citizens here in California and elsewhere. All the Japs need to do is wait and leave the destruction to us. This work of ruin is being hastened by a block of small sawmill operators getting out timber for the government, with utter disregard of damage to new timber coming on or the hazards being created for neighboring property. : One needs only to travel a short distance from Oroville _ to find numerous instances of such devastation. In the Woodleaf-Clipper Mills district many areas which a few years ago were beautiful wooded hills and valleys are now desolate wastes. Young trees have been desortyed and vast heaps of limbs and tree tops left behind. In large areas fires have completed the work of destruction. Thus we blindly permit the obliberation of one of our most valuable assets, which we get hysteriical over, what the Japs are trying to do from a distance of seven thousand miles.—W. B. Hengy in Oroville Mercury Register. GALA YEARS ' There have been few if any of the oldtime gala celebrations in California during wartime, but the state legislature apparently believes we should make up for lost time in the years which will follow the end of hostilities. “As decreed by legislative resolution, California will celebrate gold dissovery year in 1948, gold rush year in 1949, and centennial year in 1950—and every city and county, as well as the state government is expected to join in putting on the jubilee performances which will let the whole world know that California can still play host in the traditional manner. Even as we buckle down in renewed earnest to our vital job of war production, determined to do everything possible to speed the ultimate day of victory, it is good to know that there are gala years ahead. We have a lot of new residents who have never seen California at play, who have never known otr peace time hospitality—-and we fave 800,000 young men and women in the armed forces who are already more than a iittle homesick for all the simple pleasures and joyous living they left behind them. And when the war is over we'll really have something to celebrate-—Contributed. ~ PRESIDENT’S VISIT President Harry S. Truman's visit to San Francisco for the closing ceremonies of the United Nations conference, important as that unquestionably is, will have other important consequences for us on the Pacific Coast. As his presence will encorage the delegates of 50 nations who have worked so hard on the world charter, so also it will give a life to the war morale out here for all of us. We may be confident that on his tour he will get a first 1939 PACKARD SEDAN ‘1937 PLYMOUTH SEDAN 1941: STUDEBAKER CHAMPION SEDAN 1937 TERRAPLANE SEDAN . 1938 HUDSON SIX SEDAN : 1939 BUICK SEDAN 1933 PONTIAC COUPE __ 1936 TERRAPLANE COUPE 1938 PLYMOUTH COUPE MANY OTHERS TOO NUMEROUS TO LIST.

And, at San. *Francisco, he will have an opportunity to see both the war . and the peace in a perspective which is bound to be helpful to this region of the country.—Contributed as possible. BRIDGE TOLLS Three years ahead of schedule, the Carquinez and Antioch bridges will be toll free.on August 1. The free passage of people and produce from interior California to the San Francisco bay region will be. of great benefit to city dwellers and rural Californians alike. Any barrier, however small, which interferes with the free flow of goods, people and undtrstanding within a state should be eliminated, wherever possible. Some, like toll charges, levied to finance construction or purchase of bridges, are temporarily supportable but should be gotten rid of as soon The action to remove ‘the Carquinez and Antioch toll charges ,therefore, is highly satisfactory. along with other conditions to a mc¥e unified northern California in the days to come.—Contrbiuted. It will contribute, ‘EB AHEAD = By GEORGE S, BENSON President--Harding College Searcy, Arkansas Who May Think? Stopped by a traffic signal while driving in a narrow, busy street a few days ago, my ear caught a familiar, musical note. Just beyond the sidewalk, through a big, open door, a blacksmith was shaping shoes for a farmer’s heavy team. Horns behind me suggested moving along before I had finished looking, but it was an inspiration-to watch this workman, so’ skillful and energetic. : Moving-picture blacksmiths are elderly gentlemen with droopy mustaches, but not this man. He was about 30, clean shaven and active. The tempo of his hammer was lively. The hopeful picture he unwittingly posed of post-war America has come to mind several times since. More recently I have been listening to men discuss post-war plans that involved moulding public opinion. Fabricating Sentiment “Knowledge is Power.’’ The words are supposed to have flowed from the pen of Francis Bacon about 300 years ago, but I think Bacon lifted this choice bit of wisdom from Solomon: Proverbs 24-5. It has stood the test of time. Popular sentiment can be moulded. No informed person will deny it. Hitler did it. National leaders do it all the time, , consciously or» unconsciously, for better or for worse. For eleven years in China I watched selfish local war lords exercise their power over a patient, toiling peasantry. It could be done easily where the great mass of the people were unlearned, as in China, where 80% could neither read nor write. Unlearned masses sometimes rebel, but they usually fail: because the energy they exert is not power; only ill-directed force. se Common Sense of Mos For 156 years the United States has prospered and grown as a republic. This is superior to a democracy in that it provides for the safety and protection of minorities, A democracy places the minority at the mercy of the majority, sometimes just as heartlessly as a dictatorship. That is why minorities have retained freedom in America; why each individual is still free to think for himself. It is impossible to get a corner on a nation’s ideas. Every man and woman has a brain and there is utilizing these assets to enrich themselves and. the whole race, namely, keep ’em ignorant. The American way is the other way: schooling is free; libraries are everywhere; press and radio prosper keeping people informed. Our people have knowledge and our nation has power. An Offensive Figure A country, whose leaders want the benefit of the best thinking of the whole nation, is on its way up. A nation that confines its thinking and planning to boards and bureaus is on its way down. Central planners reason thus: ‘The blacksmith has a head on him, but so does his hammer. Why bother about either? We will do the thinking and the planning.”’ Germany planned for the whole of her peopl¢;: but her wages were only half as high as American wages in 1939. Russia does governmental planning for all of her people. Wages there were about one-sixth of American wages in-1939. I am for keeping our Republic, for drawing on the intelligence of our entire population and for keeping a well and correctly informed public. ‘Knowledge is Power.”’ only one.way to keep-them—from—.
