=? t= = Nevada City Nugget 805 Broad Street. Phone 36. A Legal Newspage~, as defined by statute. Printed and Published at Nevada City. e H. M. LEETE Editor’ ane 4 Published Semi-Weekly, Monday. and luuisds» at Nevada City, California, and eniere 1 as m. matter of the second class in the postoftive a* Nevada City under Act of Congress, March’ 3, 1879. : SUBSCRIPTION RATES ~One year (In Advance) «..-.-------------------+++-$3.00 a nea PRELUDE TO INVASION Nights of terror and days of death and devastation have = come to almost every city and province in Germanv as around the clock bombings by British and American air forces blast . Berlin has whole . giant . a roaring prelude to impending invasion. blocks of demolished and gutted buildings now . and craters in its streets where tons of bombs have taken fearful . retribution for the long, endless days and nights when London was bitized and pounded by the Nazi Luftwaffe. Reports coming from Germany tell of almost unbelievable destruction and chaos in its great industrial cities, with highways crowded by hundreds of thousands of homeless, citizens of the Reich being evacuated to other areas. And from London and Washington come bold intimations that invasion of the continent is imminent. “ When and where the invasion forces will strike, Germany will not know until the fight to the death has begun—but all the Reich knows now that an avenging army is waiting to _ spring, determined to liberate the conquered countries and to carry the war against Hitlerism to German soil. There must ‘be those in Germany now who tremble in terror when they recall their atrocities in France and Poland and Greece and Nor-way and Holland and all the defenseless little nations that were looted and despoiled. i There must be terror and bitter frustration,’ too, in the hidden, guarded places where Hitler and his staff of uniform-. ed bandits seek frantically to gauge where the blow will fall. and how to prepare a defense to withstand it. For this is the general staff that had sneered at the ‘decadent nations’ and had planned to enslave the world. And now their own weapons of total warfare have been turned againct them.. Now they have the first clear reminder that those who live by the sword must expect to die by the sword. It may take months: it may even take until 1944 before they are beaten, but the bombers overhead by night and by day are a constant reminder that their offensive strength has beeh broken and that the end is nearing. Every night they must listen to the gathering creser do of the prelude to invasion. _”. PLANES, PILOTS—AND PROVIDENCE General MacArthur, in reporting the magnificent triumph of Allied planes under his command over a powerful Jap sea armada off the coast of New Guinea. which resulted in the sinking of all 22 Japanese battleships and transports. and the destruction of 82 enemy planes that soucht vainly to’ protect the convoy. declared: “A merciful providence must have guarded us in this great victory!’ That was not just a mere figure of speech with General . MacArthur; there is good reason to believe that it was spoker reverently and humbly. Men like MacArthur. entrusted with the safe keeping of their fellow men—and weighed down by the realization that the lives of millions are dependent on their success or failure—need faith as well as military wisdom. And usually they have it, but mixed with it, too, a very vital understanding of the truism that “God helps those who help themselves.” It has been expressed in many ways throughout the centuries. Oliver Cromwell, 300 years ago, exclaimed; ‘“Trust in God, but keep your powder dry.’’ We have modernized it now and put it to song in the refrain: ‘Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.” MacArthur, after reporting in his communique that “a merciful providence must. have guarded us,’ commented further: “Our air losses were so small because. of the planes and the pilots and the breaks—plus thorough preparation.” Planes, pilots, preparation—and providence. That is the MacArthur formula of victory. The instruments of war have changed, but two of the ingredients in that formula—preparation and providence—helped Washington through the dark days of the Revolution and Lincoln in the days when the nation was torn by Civil War. And in every war there must be men, whether they be pilots or foot soldiers, with the courage and stamina to suffer and die if need be for the things that free men believe in. That is the formula for victory. RICKENBACKER NEEDS NO DEFENSE f Public indignation has boiled over throughout the United States against the slanderous statement of one David'G. Levitt, a union organizer, who declared before a meeting of aircraft workers in Los Angeles that “Captain Rickenbacker was the No. . hero of World War 1 and is the No. 2 rat of the present war,” adding: “‘It is too bad they saved him.” Eddie Rickenbacker, who has risked his life repeatedly and gallantly for this country in two wars, and who has only yecently endured the ordeal of being adrift at sea for twentyone days while on a war mission in the Pacific, needs no defense against the hot-tempered slander of an unknown labor firebrand. Rickenbacker’s life and deeds are all the answer required, but it is to be hoped that intelligent labor leaders—af. ter noting the storm of public indignation which this remark occasioned—will call a halt to the campaign to smear Rickenbacker which has recently been current in labor ‘circles. ‘It isn't Eddie Rickenbacker who is giving labor a bad name. It is men like Levitt ‘in labor's own ranks who have made it necessary for Rickenbacker and scores of others to remind . . them that they owe an’ obligation to American boys on far : battle ields. It is the labor racketeers who are damaging labor's } =~ Ag far as Levitt is concerned, Rickenbacker took care of him with the apt rejoiner: “It has. been my experience that a pig never squeals unless you stick him.” : ae j THROUGH. THE JUNGLE Woodpecker Hammers at Galvanized Chimney H. P. Davis and neighbors heard and saw an unusual sight Wednesday morning on the old Celio home where he resides. There are three tall galvanized iron chimneys on the house, ‘and, believe it or not, a wood pecker was pecking away .and = chirruping loudly on the top of one of the chimneys. Spectators suggested he was calling for more heat to warm his feet, or signaling the enemy in code. Others thought the bird was protesting against the new rationing orders.

—_—— . . deer, a better score, proportionateiy . . t Nevada City Nugget — Thursday, March LI, 1943 scldiers to Javacory CHICAGO, I11.—One of the biggest factors in the unusual record established by the United States in protecting the health of the armed forces is the fact that American camps, barracks and naval training stations are the finest equipped from .the standpoint of plumbing of any camps in any war in ‘history of the world. There is one shower bath for every 12 men; one lavatory and water closet for every 8 men and laundry tray in every barracks according to the Plumbing and Heating Industries Bureau. While the pIrmbing in army camps in’ this war sets an tinusually high standard, the basic purpose. is not to provide luxury for the men but to protect their health, morale and efficiency. In every war on which there are records, from the days of Sennacherib onward, the number of deaths from disease has _ exceeded many times the losses from killed or wounded in combat. In World War I, for instance, records show ‘‘admissions from disease were 14.6 times as numerous as those for wounds, even in France.”’ In Calitornia’s 1942 hunting season, 1233 women hunters killed 1377 than was made by men.
