Senator Barkley, the Democratic majority in the Senate: it piece of . . . crust (estimated additional revenue A 000,000) constitutes a sum large enough to pay twoof expenses of the mustering out pay for the armed -— which congress passed only a few weeks ago. and the president himself recommended and signed. To repiece of inedible crust is the same as if a starv-. vere to say to his would-be benefactor, ‘Unless you with a full eight course dinner . wil! not eat a bote.” ator Barkley might have added that congress has propr mt's spending branch of the government with us-size “loaf.of bread’ in previous tax laws. As xpayers of the United States will pay in federal fiscal year the colossal sum of 4214 billion dol‘is giant loaf of bread in federal taxes should be ’ of oe dollars in state and local taxes, or rs. taxpayers of the United States—and e president might ‘well have expressed in his message for the 42!% billion dollar federal loaf d of censuring congress for adding a picayune as President Roosevelt has so truthfully said, the sweat of every man who labors.” ~ ON SWAPPING HORSES Minn., April this nation during the coming . not to swap horses crossing a } ll laughingly tell you that ‘Do not swap toboggans seems to me that the irmess to the the people of the na-.

In their atoll-hopping exploits, their first version of the golden sands and tropical verdure too often has been a frowsy one of bomb-pocked terrain and blackened palm stumps. Too often has the fictional flower-decked’ sarong. girl materialized anywhere near the bases, though her fat and underslung sisters show up at all the native gatherUndermined, too, for some time to come, are the ferocious head-hunter sequences of the spine chillers. Too many flyers, forced down in the jungle borders of Burma. India and China, have enjoyed the kindly hospitality of those terrifying savages. — And little Mr. Moto, the Japanese secret agent known to all detective fiction addicts, has completely disappeared—just another war casualty. Some internment camp swallowed him up and it is very doubtful that he will ever regain any popularity here. — It would seem that a great many such losses have been sustained by the entertainment world. Certainly there will be some gaps to fill; some changes to make.-Perhaps much of the fiction of the future will find its locale in the world of the future, a new world whose actual accomplishments will shade those fictional stratospher-built cities of the past and put’ Superman to shame. Or possibly the plays, movies and books will deal more realistically than ever before with plot and character. It is plain, in any event, that fictionists for some time to come will have to steer clear of many time-mellowed themes that the audience now is very apt to know more about from first-hand experience than the author.—Contributed. THE 4-F’s AMONG US: In the last war some misguided people, giddy in.the first flush of patriotic fervor, pinned white feathers more or less indiscriminately on young men not in uniform. -. Thus were the young men publicly advised of their disfavor as ‘‘slackers’” Actually many of them had no more control over their military service than the feather donors themselves: It was a silly business and pretty quickly outgrown. There are many among us today who for various perfectly legitimate reasons are not in uniform. The most logical deterrent on earth to military duty is physical deficiency. Yet the average man would rather duck 'the issue and let the neighbors think what they choose than to admit a spinal curvature, kidney trouble or flat feet. And even if he would, he couldn't go about with explanations-constantly on his lips. Unfortunately, too, it isn't always perfectly satisfactory to all onlookers for a 4-F to dedicate himself to a war job. If he looks reasonably healthy he’s apt to be suspected of draft dodging behind an “‘indispensable’”’ label. . It would be a very kindly gesture indeed for Uncle Sam MA, able for duty—-an emblem a man could wear if He chose, to protect himself from the unpleasant suspicions of those who see a slacker behind every bush. There is scant hope, however, that any such device will be provided. :; And since there are numerous 4-F’s with us who don't look it,it-is best in .thé meantime to withhold judgment unless the facts, are known. It is better to miss castigating a draft dodger than ‘to risk grieving a disappointed youth who physically just couldn't make the grade.—Contributed. . .'. ‘THOSE FOUR FREEDOMS : ‘ In coming months you are going to hear much about the four freedoms’ that the New Dealers tell us are fighting for we are going to give to all nations of and which, presumably, rge. The’ “four freedoms” have their appeal to liberty-loving. and idealistic Americans but some foreigners seem to be a bit . skeptical about the prospect. A Chinese philosopher, Dr. Lin Yutang,.is. not at all enthused, and perhaps his comments on the subject should be given some consideration. For further reference you might paste the following remarks by. Dr. Lin your scrap book: — . ee o "Two of the four freedoms are not freedoms at all. Freedom from fear. is not freedom, but political security. Freedom from want is not’ freedom, but ‘economic security. Bothd albe athieved at the cost of human freedom, and probably wil , . aay from Stockton where he comae ent . phone,’ which is peace and rest—ad infinitum. oN And so when we speak of freedom we must stick ta the original meaning of {human freedom.

Johnson, an Indian family that lives in the Campoodie, ancient Indian village on the western slope of Cement Hill, couldn’t understand why her mother and oer sister had suddenly vanished, when she returned from play at dusk Friday night. She called in the empty cabin for her mother and sister, but no answer. She rememberer a kind old man who lived near the Gault bridge in Nevada City, a mile and a half away: He sometimes gave her candy. She decided she needed a friend now. Mrs. Johnson and the sister, returned a few mniutes after Harriet had gone. They had driven some stray cattle from the pine , thickets about their home. They hunted for the child for half hour. Looked into irrigation ditch but she wasn’t there. Finally Deputy Sheriff Carl Larsen was called. Among other clues Mrs. Johnson told of the old man who usually gave the children candy. Larsen took that clue and found the child sound asleep in'an improvised bed at the old man’s. home. IS NEEDED even when budget is limited Keystone . Market . DAVE RICHARDS, Prop.
