305 Broad Strect. Phone 36. A Legal Newspaper, as defined by statute. Printed and Published at Nevada Cit). ee Ld H. M. LEETE Editor-au. 4 . M. LEETE Ce ee canine ‘ ; Piblished Semi-Weekly,Monday ana Iiia:sdiy at Nevada City, California, and emiefrd as Mis matter of the second class in the postoftice a* Nevada City under Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. ; SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year’ (In Advance) een Gt tae eee $3.00 30 cents Suppose, Just Suppose, That Lidice Were In U.S.A. Imagine reading the following government announcement in your Nugget: “All men of Truckee have been shot. The women have been deported to a concentration camp and the children sent to appropriate centers of education. All buildings of the village were leveled to the ground and the name of the village was immediately abolished.” : Those are the words of an official Nazi statement issued a few days ago except that the town was named Lidice —a quiet little community of Czecho-Slovakia near Prague. In Lidice (pronounced Leed-eet-say) men and women lived where their ancestors had lived for more than 600 years. A Lidice son brought his bride to his parents’ home; his children were born in the same room where his grandfather first saw light. Above the roofs of the town rose the spire of St. Margaret’s Church, a symbol of community faith since the church’s building in 1736. ’ In Lidice a farmer with earth sticking to his boots greeted the coal-dusty miner who as a boy sat beside him in school. On a warm day the tanning of the shoe renairmsn sounded through an oren door like a faint echo of the blecksmith’s hammering. A storekeeper going to the tailor shop paused on Wilson Street—named for the American president—to gossip with a man carving wood before his front door. Children laughed and played or were drawn to kitchens by the sweet scents of the cakes their mothers baked. : Life was not so easy after the German conquerors came. The men had to do what the rulers ordered. Limits were set on worship in the church and on schooling for the children. The women didn't have such good things or so much to fix for meals. But the people lived on, they worked, they loved, they dreamed—oppression had been unon them in the past but “Wilson” Street s--med a reminder that to a people of unconauered spirit, freedom at last returns. . Then two men fatally wounded Reinhard Heydrich who. as Navi “‘protector’’ of Czecho-Slovakia. earned the title of **Haneman.”’ That happened on a highway which doesn't even °o through Lidice. The Lidice people to!d the Nazi secret police that they didn't know anything about the two men. But the Gestano acents learned that Lidice folk still dreemed of freedom. They claimed thev found a radio, forbidden by German conquerors, arms and munitions. Several of the Lidice young men had escaped to join United Nations forces fighting the Germans. And the Nazis follow their policy of bloody vengeance—a policy which has meant the murder, in retaliation for the death of Heydrich, or more than 700 innocent men and women. So when you read or hear the name of Lidice imagine what it would mean if Truckee were crushed to the earth, its name scratched from all records, the bodies of all its men dumped into a common grave, their widows imprisoned, and the doubly-orphaned children in the hands of vengeful and merciless foreigners. ' JUST WONDERIN’ I wonder if the rubber drive : Has reached yourhome and if, today, : : 3 You've taken all the bits of scrap f From dusty corners where they lay ae And as each sample came to view, : ay Did you say, “‘Uncle Sam needs you” I wonder if the war is teaching us many lessons well worth remembering, when the tide of battle ebbs and normal living. is resumed. Here in America we are becoming acquainted with the word and ;:meaning of thrift. No longer do we throw seemingly useless things away; we look at them with appraising eyes and wonder if in some way they may contribute if even in an inconsiderable degree to the war effort. Our, homes are being stream lined. The old trunk has been robbed of its strange accumulations and that is‘a very good thing. It was silly to burden ourselves with these stored up things to which we added from year to year. Now, we know that those things which we can no longer use may ‘become useful, so we reclaim them from their idle hire outs, and send them forth to serve in some capacity thus relieving ourselves of their care, deWy Cc AN EYE FOR AN EYE (By Carl Ross) : Civilization stands aghast at the increasingly ferocious atrocities and reprisals carried out by the Nazis and its Gestapo throughout the occupied countries in its cruel imposition of the “New Order.”’ The world has watched with chill horror the ruthless slaying of the Poles; the mass execution of the Czecs in reprisal for the assassination of ““Hangman’”’ Heidrich. But the crowning infamy of the leaders of : Nazi Germany in pronouncing death to all members of the Jewish race in Europe if the “Hangman’s’’ executioners are not exnosed foreshadows a wholesale murder era such as would fale into insignificance the already tragic list of these whose lives have been ruthlessly snuffed out for no greater offense than that they are non-Aryan—or do not accept abject slavery as their nortion under the heel of the self-styled “‘super race.” Ard the prayer of those who still cling to the faint but fiercely burning spark of freedom-loving must be that some way be shown them to bring home to their conquerors the erormity of the score which must be settled when the day of reckoning shal! dawn—as dawn it most certainly shall. How can’ the monster Nazi be made to realize the enormity of his debt to civilization? No civilized code of ethics will be given the slightest cognizance by him in his mad efforts at world mastery. So it is necessary. to impress upon his -onscjousness. in letters of searing flame, the judgment that awaits him! : Let him know. by every radio beam that’ can be directed toward the seat of his iniquity, that every victim of his insane nogoms is being dutifully recorded—each name is being recorded; added to the long list of his unjustified victims. And let him know that when his armies shall have been submerged in utter defeat, and he and his cohorts shall come crawling and whining for mercy—a mercy he has failed to acknowledge for those who oppose him—let him and his cohorts. krow. and know NOW that this verdict awaits: “MF, AND EACH AND EVERY ONE OF_ HIS “ARYAN” GESTAPO BRETHREN SHALL BE LISTED, AND FOR EACH OF HIS VICTIMS SHALL ONE OF HIS UNHOLY LEGION—BEGINNING WITH THE LEADER— BE STOOD AGAINST THE STONE WALL AND -SUMMARILY SHOT! Let the radio tell and re-tell this prophecy of the fate that awaits the legions of Hitler! Let the wings of the Allied bombers carry the printed message by the million to be dropped with every bomb load! _ Let the Hun know that when the going gets too tough for him he cannot, this time, cry “Kamarad” and gain surcease and the probation in which to rebuild his dream of Aryan supremacy.

He joined them with a cheery bound,. : Full of elastic drive. “Gents,’’ said he, “it now appears, Our need for rubber’s growing. The shortage justifies our fears.’’ The solons nodded, knowing. “But Goodrich, whom I represent, Has something good, yet new. Our thing seems almost heavensent— Ill demonstrate to you.”’ Each solon wore a skeptic look, But Smith had seized a beaker;. In almost less time than it took. The senators grew meeker. Smith poured acetic acid in, With ‘‘Ameripol latex,’’ juice. He squeezed the surplus liquid. thin, Then jerked a handful loose. Then he slapped it on the floor.

I wonder what Schicklegruber thought of Flog Day. Unprintable thoughts of course, and now he will remind us that wars are not won by parades and patriotic speeches. We ate well aware of that fact, but the inspirational value of Flag Day will thrill the minds and hearts of men for many a day to come. i The sounds of marching feet, blaring bands, cheering voices and lilting songs demonstrated fine unity of purpose and the firm determination to fight on until the right to sing one’s own songs and wave one’s own banner has been assured to all peoples the world over, irresipective of border, birth and creed. : -This is indeed a great and splendid dream, universal liberty, but it is the dream that smiles through the clouds of battle and leads the way. You can’t fight such a dream Schiklegruber, you may conquer and enslave the weak and defenseless for a time, but you cannot kill the dream of liberty. It still leads where your Satanic ruthlessness has done iis worst, for that is the way with dreams. Sometime it will blind you with its divine radiance and when that day comes, the*victims of your wrath will be avenged. g 2 : ’ We have a new flag in our little town of pines and cedars and golden dreams.
