Vol. 17, No. 45. The County Seat Paper NEVADA CITY, CALIF ORNIA _ The Gold Center naisiniteetianiens — Thinking Out Loud By H. M. L. We are interested, of course, in political platforms, which are an expression of what ‘we people’ desire now and in the future. Any candidate for legislative office formulates a set of principle which’ he himself approves and thinks will please the majority of his prospective constituents. This is a sensible thing to do, and politically speaking a routine thing to do. In the (Second Congressional District all of us, particularly those with relatives in the armed forces, want to see the war won and as quickly as_ possible. ‘Throughout the United States this wndoubtedly is a universal desire. A year ago there was some doubt, not perhaps that we would win the war but conviction that it would take many years to do it. Now we, most of us at least, are assured that we will win and; more speedily than Washington, D. CC. for Psychological reasons is willing to admit. Any candidate for a legislative office will advocate winning the war. It is the universal urge of all men and women in the country. Only small boys hope the »war will last until they can get into it. In this district we are especially anxious that the Central Valley project -becompleted. For a prosperous Central Valley will help us here in the mountains to be prosperous. We have utmost faith that this project, will soon be completed, not as a matter of political pushing and pulling, but as one vitally affecting California’s postwar economy. The Central Valley Project-will be an essential aid to taking care of a tremendous employment problem which the conclusion, of the war will bring to this state. From the hugely swollen war industrial centers there is likely to be vast exodus of workers, men and women. If water and power are available thousands of these war workers may find and make home in the fertile soil of San Joaquin and Sacramento Valleys. The Central Valley project is one that the entire California delegation should labor unremittently in congress: to complete. It has national as well as California significance in the postwar economy of the United States. : As for gold mining, we think in the national interest, congress will see to it that limitations on mining this precious metal are speedily lifted the moment demand for manpower in the armed forces relaxes. To play a dominant role in world affairs after the war is concluded, we shall need all the gold: billions stored in Fort Knox and every added ounce that can be taken out of the ground. We take it as a matter of course, that any California candidate for state or federal legislative office ‘will advocate that, and we think that when war’s end approaches there will be no real opposition anywhere, in congress or outside, to a resumption of gold mining on a largely inereased scale. We should like to hear from all candidates’ seeking legislative office their views on the kind of. peace which must follow the war. The Republican party, unforunateyl, in so far as it is represented in congress, gave the impression prior to Pearl Harbor of solidly opposing all measures that would have increased our potential war strength. The world was at war but we could avoid any responsibility in its outcome and take full and selfish advantage of chaotic conditions when it ended. That is perhaps a bald statement of the attitude toward world affairs of Congressman Joe Martin, andRepublican, as well as many Democratic members of congress, prior to Pearl Harbor. Much of that spirit still persists. We think any candidate for any jJegislative office should present a plan of some kind for the peace that follows the war. We do not want another congressional bloc to force this country “into an the. \CAMP BEALE of Cement Hill have sold it to Mr. FISHING GOOD IN . TRUCKEE RIVER TRUCKEE, June 7.—Frank Kennie, ardent fisherman report that in. spit® of cold weather and poor fishing conditions he brought in six pounds of rainbow trout using bait in ‘the Little Truckee. The Truckee River, he further states is quite muddy but low and as soon as the weather is warmer should be ideal for fly fishing. Bob Carruthers landed a 2 1-2 pound loch leven using bait in the Truckee River. . Reports from Donner Lake are that fishing is fair. In the recent check made by the Division of Fish and Game on the Truckee River, ‘the run-of-the-mill angler fishing five hours caught four trout or more, as against a five year average of between three and four trout for a five hour day. This year 92 per cent of the trout were rainbow, as against 96 per cent last year; but in earlier years less than 80 per cent were rainbow, the rest being lochs. This refers to the river below Truckee where rainbow are planted, and here the situation is reversed. OFFER MADE TO AID SIERRA CO. HOSPITAL PLAN . DOWNIEVILLE, June 7. — The) . Sierra County Board of Supervisors! jat their meeting here this week, pecelyse an offer from Clover Valley .

Mice breathing the antiserum spray for 30 minutes were given complete protection against one minimum lethal dose of influenza. Dr. Krueger said. Longer exposure or re‘peated treatments of the antiserum gave more protection. The immunity lasted for several days.
