CCVERS RICHEST GOLD AREA_ IN CALIFORNIA a Vol. 19, No. 50_ The County Sent Paper NEVADA CITY, CALIF ORNIA The Gold Ce _MONDAY, JUNE Fass 19450 (Editorial) THE GREATEST STATE Herbert Vere Evatt, dynamic foreign minister of Australia remarked the other day that California will be the greatest state in the union in not BO Many years. Well, now we nad thought she already wag the greatest, but it is a comfort to know that she soon will be if we were mistaken. Remarks such as that ofthe foreign minister indicate that California’s hospitality is drawing extra dividends in good will. And this good will is not directed alone to the city of San Francisco where the conference of united nations has been. held. The good will is for the entire state and for good reason. The foremost leaderg of the world have been in fact, the guests of the state and in particular of the northern and central sections. There they have visited,. in literally hundreds of excursions. the sites of our agricultural, industrial, cultural and recreational. resources. There they were treated with universal courtesy and friendliness. When they return home we are confident that they will remember with pleasure their stay with us. And the good will created in the past few months will be of great significance not only to California in terms of trade and commerce, but what is more, in terms of peace.—Contributed. WELCOME BACK, GOLD MINING Gold mining again becomes a possibility in California next week, with .the lifting of war production board L208. Whether there will be any im.mediate resumption of mining depends on whether operators can solve the perplexing wage problems with which they will immediately be confronted. In any event, restoration of the right to mine gold is good news to all Californians. It means that, ultimately; many northern and central California counties and communities will be back in business producing new wealth for the world. Whether the WIPB order L208 achieved its purpose of diverting workers and materials to the mining of metals rated higher on the list of critically needed war supplies is very much in doubt. But there ig no question that gold mining is an old and important part of our California economy. It will play an increasingly important part when we begin reconcerting to peace time economy. For then it will provide jobs, directly and indirectly, for many thousands of workers. We are happy to welcome gold mining ‘back to California where it belongs.—Contributed. FAREWELL TO REV. AND MRS. DAVID RALSTON ‘A large group of friends and members of the church last evening met informally in the social hall of the Methodist Church to ‘bid farewell to the pastor, Rev. David Ralston and Mrs. Ralston: Rev. Ralston ig soon to be assigned another pastorate. He and Mrs. Ralston leave tomorrow morning for the Methodist Conference at Stockton. Rev. Ralston states that new appointments to pastorates will be read mext Sunday at the conference. He does-not know where he will be assigned. It is with deep regret that his friends, memibers of the church and of civic organizations of which he is a Member learn that Rev. Ralston in all likelihood will not be reappointed to his parish here.

TRANSPORTATION SQUEEZE WILL COME IN AUGUST Tokio bound American troops, streaming toward west coast ports within the next few months, will cause the tightest civilian transportation squeeze in modern history, it was indicated today, following a-conference of Col. J. M. Johnson, ODT director, with the California Railroad Commission. Traffic to and from the coast will increase from 30 to 40% Johnson told the commission and within a very brief period passenger space westbound from Chicago will be theoretically nonexistent. Almost as difficult will be civilian travel eastward, he said. Highlighting the situation in the transportation. which is due to develop rapidly from now on until Japan is crushed, Col. Johnson declared that it may be necessary to actua!ly cancel some Pullman train service although he hoped that this drastic measure would not be necessary. The heavy traffic movement, the director said, will throw more and unprecedented burdens on both truck and bus carriers. Col. Johnson added that both the rail carriers and the people are to be congratulated for the manner in-which they are corefrigerator cars which, have already serious may become the bottleneck of cars and equipment that reefers, refrgerator cars, which have already been hauling merchAndise westward may be pressed into service to haul the thousands of tons of mail which will follow the troops toward Tokio. PLANE CRASHES NEAR LOVERS LEAP IN PLACER Starting early in the day from Auburn the service truck from Waddles Meat Market usually Arrives 4% Alta, the end of the route, around midnight. For this reason many people were still up Friday night when. at 11:45 a west bound army transport plane zoomed very low over this area, so low in fact that people rushed outdoors to look at it. An overcast sky obscured what would otherwise have been brilliant meonlight. The plane was evidently in trouble and started to circle back toward the Blue Canyon _ airport which was in an air line, but eight miles distant. But as it swung out over the American’ River gorge tne spectators were startled to see it suddenly burst nto flames and disappear into the canyon. Soon thereafter a number of search planes arrived and all Saturday forenoon planes circled the vicinity trying to spot the wrecked transport while am'bulances arrived from DeWitt hospital. Later in the day it was announced that the wreckage had been found on the south slope of the gorge and the ampbulances were ordered to the Iowa Hil) Divide where the (bodies will be brought out. The scene .of this disaster is at what is known as Giant Gap on the North Fork of the American and one of the roughest bits of terrain to be found anywhere in the state where, by some freak of nature, the mountains have been literally split apart, ‘leaving an abrupt gorge 2200 feet in ' depth. On the Alta side of the flat rock projects out at ‘known .as Lover’s Leap, where the almost vertical drop to the _§ first bench’ is a sheer thousand feet. This spot got its name from an old Indian legend which depicted a beautiful but lovelorn dusky maiden who ended all her earthly troubles by leaping from this ‘rock. *On account of the extreme ruggorge a what is it will probably be several days before the bodies can be locatno news of the disaster has been given out by the army. Some reports men on the transport while others say the number was as great gh 6ixteen. SIX GIANT RADIO VOICES AID BIG GUNS IN PACIFIC NEWARK, N. J., June 25—The thunder of six gaint radio voices, ‘beamed from the Pacific Coast has been added by the OWI to the guns of MacArthur and Halsey backing up the United Nations fighting forces with an incessant outpouring of psychiological warfare against the Japs. Beamed from two new high fréquency stations, at Delano and Dixon, California, programs designed not only to boost the morale of our far fung forces but to convince the Japs that the day of reckoning is at hand soon are to issue in steady streams over the whole area from Manchukto to the southernmost war fronts. The new transmitters, more powerful.and far reaching than any, ever built Sy the enemy have been rushed to completion by engineers of the OWI two major broadcasting systems and the federal telephone and rado corporation, affiliate of international telephone and telegraph corporation. . The Delano station, its power raised from 50) kilowatts to 200. kilowaats ,is expected to start broadcasting June 15 under present, schedules. Inauguraton of 200 kw broad casts from the stations at Dixon will begin almost immediately. In the meantime, the 50 kw. equipment already operating in both stations is carrying on the warfare against the Japs. Both stationg have been on the air at 50 kw since last winter. UNCIOREADY TO. CLOSE HISTORIC © SESSIONS INS. F. SAN HRANCISCO, June 25—Ending of the United Nations conference was preceded by an intensive week of hard committee work and numerous open commission and committee meetings, as San Francisco prepared to ‘bid farewell to its honored guests. Meanwhile observers on the sidelines continued ‘to not human interest items of the conference. State Department Richer — As many supplies for the UNCIO as possible were borrowed or rented, but a lot of things had to ‘be bought. These now revert to the state department. They include 100 filing cabinets; two sets of silk United nations flags and one of cotton; several hundred fountain pens, ash trays and water jugs, truckloads of miscelaneous office supplies, and 1000 yards of baby blue velour which carpeted the roster in the opera house and the veterans building auditorium. Sequoia, International Symbol — As a gesture‘ of international fraternity, delegates and press were given Sherman tree n 6 equoia_ national park, oldest and largest of the Cali. fornia big trees, 5000 years old and 273 feet high. The sequoia are probably of Asiatic origin, with the seeds blown or washed across the Bering Straits to Alaska. The visitors were asked to plant the seeds when they return home in the hope that he sethe one at Delano being operated hy the Cohimbia Broadcasting System and that at Dixon by WNational Broadcasting Company both for the OWI each houses three high frequeency transmitters. Each consists of a 200 kw and two 50 kw units. All are capable of delivering programs with great effectiveness. In each station the two 50 kw transmitters will be programmed together so that they operate as two voices carrying the same program while the 200 kw transmitter carries still another program with its vastly greater power. It is pessible to send out the same program simultaneously on all three transmitters of each station at their different frequencies, to forestall jamming. by enemy. 'No other broadcast stations in the world will have high . frequency transmitters so powerful as the west coast pair, with the single exception of the 200 kw Bethany transmitter, operated ‘by the Crosley Company for OWI, whose vacuum tubes also were built by Federal Telephone. The facilities of these OWI stations will be shared by the armed forces radio service,.and the office of inter-American affairs. The broadcast warfare against the Japs will penetrate the homeland and all points held by the enemy from Manchucko to the extreme South Pacific: : In their performance the transmitters will ‘be virtually alike. Operating at high frequencies designated by the FCC they will be Heard by means of directional antennas with greater strength far into enemy held territories of the Pacific and Asia, as well as all of South America. NEVADA CITY STILL SHORT $25,000 OF E BOND QUOTA George Calanan, chairman of the Seventh War Loan Drive here, stated yesterday that the Nevada City district is still short $215,000 of its $90,000 quota in E bonds.

The first commercial cock stripping in this country—-2172 pounds of virgin bark from 22 trees made in 1944, marked the birth of a new U. S. industry. Experts pronounce the cork equal in quality to the product of Portugueses or Mediterranean plantations. The city’s 44 acre cork oak plantation in Alameda county, near the Calaveras reservoir, has been turned over to the United States deparitment of agricultural for experimentreturned. The pubposs of these cork oak plantings, is three fold; to conserve soil, to beautify the watershed lands and eventnally to provide a substantial revenue to the city.
