EASTER MESSAGE Jesus said “I am the Resurrection and the life, he that believeth in me though he were dead yet shall live.” Here is one ofthe great declarations of the Divine Son of God to struggling humanity. If you will notice there are no ifs or ands, no doubts, no quibbling, no conditional clauses, no conditional dependency on human aid. It is rather a bold statement: I am the Resurrection. I am the Life. I am the resurrection for men in the Dark Ages, for men in the Reformation period, I am the . resurrection for a pagan world. I am the resurrection and the life for an enlightened modern world gone pagan through a brutal, inhuman and fiendish war at this very hour. We are off the beam, ag we say in airplane vernacular, and through the centuries have been floundering around seeking a safe landing for time and eternity. But’ thstead of being God directed we have been man directed and have fallen into the enemy territory, and even today with all our boasted civilization, being educated to the nth degree we are . circling around and do where to land: fog of not selfishness, of greed for kn owl We are in a terrible . the . wealth and power and have fallen in-. to,a regular slough of moral corrup-. tion out of which no power can lift} knees in sackcloth and askes ask for forgiveness. Then shall approach this Easter season in a new light. a new heart, we a new hope and a positive assurance that we too shall ‘live. Let me repeat that without Christ there is no salvation, no hope, no life and no resurrection. St. Paul has said “If there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen; and, if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain and ye are yet in your sins.’’ Then comes this cheering word from that great man of God “But now is Christ risen from the dead and become the first fruits of them that slept.” Divine assurance is given to all peoples of all time in these words of ‘Christ ‘“‘Because I live ye shall live also’. Let ug not entirely crush the ‘bleeding hearts of millions of mothers whose boys will never come back from this terrible war, by telling them there is no resurrection and ‘on hope of them ever meeting again. You will send them into unspeakable dispair, darkness and insanity. ‘Rather let us sing.to them that great Easter hymn by (Charles Wesley “Christ the Lord is risen today, Aljeluia”’, Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia, or with Whittier “Who hath not learned in hours of faith The truth to flesh and sense unknown, That life is lord of death, And love can never lose its own, Of with Tennyson “For though trom out our bourne of time and place The flood may bear me far; 2 ] hope to see my pilot face to face, 'When-t have crossed thé bar.”’ Or with Robert Browning “Grow old with best is yet to be.’’ A joyous, victorious and Faster to all of you.

(Os “This may be considered ag approximately the minimum annual expenditure required to maintain. the Grass Valley mines dry and in sufficient repair to permit reasonably prompt resumption of production. It by no means covers the total loss, mounting yearly, occasioned by deterioration of timber and state of general repair of the many miles of the more remote drifts and stopes not involved in the main access workings. “The Zeibright and Brown’s Valley mines are still flooded and call for current expenditure of only a few thousand dollars per year, included in the above total operating loss.’ The balance sheet of the company included in the report, shows current assets of $1,970,519.79, marketable securities of $1,633,124.99, and total property values of $4,939,486.22.

TO ERECT BUILDING FOR US SAILORS SAN ‘FRANCISCO, March 29—Two new developments in the Port of San Francisco—one immediate—one post war, have ‘been announced by the State Board of Harbor Commissioners. For greater convenience of the 25,000 navy mén who goO on shore leave every day, a two story island building is to be erected next door to San ‘Francisco’s historic Ferry building with a bridge connecting the two structures. Three ferry slips south of the Ferry building will be cleared for the purpose. The new ‘building will be surrounded on its first floor by 14 landing floats and will be equipped with waiting rooms, a _ dispatching office, a telephone room, and other facilities. ‘Construction will begin as soon as the go-ahead signal comes from Washington. When finished the building will be leased t6 the navy. Immediately after the war the ferry slips at the foot of Hyde street near the famed Fishermen’s wharf will be torn down and $750,000 quarters and berths will be erected for the wholesale fishing industry. The State Board of Harbor Commissioners has ‘between three and four million dollars earmarked for improvements in the port after the war. Among the plans are better . Valley CAPT.TITCOMB “SUNRISE SERVICE MARNE DIVISION: PILES UP 190 DAYS OF COMBAT With the Third Division Seventh Army in ie ann a rey Third Infantry Division, who’ve covered a lot of miles and killed a lot of Germans in 29 months of campaigning, feel they’ve earned a niche in modern military history with their record of 190 consecutive days of combat against the enemy in France —from the beaches of the Riveria to the banks of the Rhine River. When a French division completed relief of doughboys of the Third near Neuf Brisach after the Colmar pocket had been wiped out, it marked the first time since D-day in. Southern France, August 15, that the famous “‘Marne” Division could close down its division war room and.take a well earned respite from the war. These 190 days were racked up the hard way—-on the march, Only twice did the Third halt for any appreciable time, once before it hurdled the supposedly impregnable Vosses mountains and again when it held a 20 mile front on the Colmar perimeter—prior jumping off om the now Colmar operation. During dash. up the Rhone the Third sometimes advaneas much 7 24 hours, ind when it spearheaded the drive icross the Vosges a mountain range ° never be in-military—history had to famous its ed 5 miles in as fore rossed i,t been e¢ broke the back of German resistance in Alsace. In gratitude for the Third'’s part in liberating Alsace, the French government gave the division -the ‘eoy-.: eted Croix de Guerre fourragere, the equivalent of two presidential Unit Citations, and the first such award of World War II here “ie are many “‘firsts’’ Third’s history. For instance fighting men of the division have won 21 congressional Medals of Honor, more than three times as many ag any other division in the U. S. Army. And many more are on the way. The Third has participated in seven separate campaigns, more than any division in the ETO. It has hit the beaches on four D-days, French Morocco, Sicily, Anzio and Southern France—another first. Other campaigns are Tunisia, Southern weal and Germany. The list of towns captured by the Third alone or in company with other divisions since the European conflict opened November 8, 1942, reads like a Fitzpatrick travelogue—Casablanca, Palermo, Messina, Cisterna,} Rome, St. Tropez, Aix en Provence, Montelimar, Besacon, Vesoul, St. Die, Saales, Strasbough, Colmar. Men of the Third—with their sev-~ en separate presidential unit Citations are proud of their division bein the cause they know it’s a damn fine division. It had to be good to stay in: the line for 190 days without a letup. That record hangs high for other divisions to shoot at. Christian Bartsch of North San Juan Passes Funeral services’ are pending with Holmes Funeral Home for Christian Bartsch, of North San Juan, Nevada County, found dead Tuesday morning in his home there. His body was discovered by his brother, Richard Bartsch who lived next door. oe The body was found fully cloth-' ed reclining on a blanket spread on the floor by the stove.

(Os “This may be considered ag approximately the minimum annual expenditure required to maintain. the Grass Valley mines dry and in sufficient repair to permit reasonably prompt resumption of production. It by no means covers the total loss, mounting yearly, occasioned by deterioration of timber and state of general repair of the many miles of the more remote drifts and stopes not involved in the main access workings. “The Zeibright and Brown’s Valley mines are still flooded and call for current expenditure of only a few thousand dollars per year, included in the above total operating loss.’ The balance sheet of the company included in the report, shows current assets of $1,970,519.79, marketable securities of $1,633,124.99, and total property values of $4,939,486.22.

TO ERECT BUILDING FOR US SAILORS SAN ‘FRANCISCO, March 29—Two new developments in the Port of San Francisco—one immediate—one post war, have ‘been announced by the State Board of Harbor Commissioners. For greater convenience of the 25,000 navy mén who goO on shore leave every day, a two story island building is to be erected next door to San ‘Francisco’s historic Ferry building with a bridge connecting the two structures. Three ferry slips south of the Ferry building will be cleared for the purpose. The new ‘building will be surrounded on its first floor by 14 landing floats and will be equipped with waiting rooms, a _ dispatching office, a telephone room, and other facilities. ‘Construction will begin as soon as the go-ahead signal comes from Washington. When finished the building will be leased t6 the navy. Immediately after the war the ferry slips at the foot of Hyde street near the famed Fishermen’s wharf will be torn down and $750,000 quarters and berths will be erected for the wholesale fishing industry. The State Board of Harbor Commissioners has ‘between three and four million dollars earmarked for improvements in the port after the war. Among the plans are better . Valley CAPT.TITCOMB “SUNRISE SERVICE MARNE DIVISION: PILES UP 190 DAYS OF COMBAT With the Third Division Seventh Army in ie ann a rey Third Infantry Division, who’ve covered a lot of miles and killed a lot of Germans in 29 months of campaigning, feel they’ve earned a niche in modern military history with their record of 190 consecutive days of combat against the enemy in France —from the beaches of the Riveria to the banks of the Rhine River. When a French division completed relief of doughboys of the Third near Neuf Brisach after the Colmar pocket had been wiped out, it marked the first time since D-day in. Southern France, August 15, that the famous “‘Marne” Division could close down its division war room and.take a well earned respite from the war. These 190 days were racked up the hard way—-on the march, Only twice did the Third halt for any appreciable time, once before it hurdled the supposedly impregnable Vosses mountains and again when it held a 20 mile front on the Colmar perimeter—prior jumping off om the now Colmar operation. During dash. up the Rhone the Third sometimes advaneas much 7 24 hours, ind when it spearheaded the drive icross the Vosges a mountain range ° never be in-military—history had to famous its ed 5 miles in as fore rossed i,t been e¢ broke the back of German resistance in Alsace. In gratitude for the Third'’s part in liberating Alsace, the French government gave the division -the ‘eoy-.: eted Croix de Guerre fourragere, the equivalent of two presidential Unit Citations, and the first such award of World War II here “ie are many “‘firsts’’ Third’s history. For instance fighting men of the division have won 21 congressional Medals of Honor, more than three times as many ag any other division in the U. S. Army. And many more are on the way. The Third has participated in seven separate campaigns, more than any division in the ETO. It has hit the beaches on four D-days, French Morocco, Sicily, Anzio and Southern France—another first. Other campaigns are Tunisia, Southern weal and Germany. The list of towns captured by the Third alone or in company with other divisions since the European conflict opened November 8, 1942, reads like a Fitzpatrick travelogue—Casablanca, Palermo, Messina, Cisterna,} Rome, St. Tropez, Aix en Provence, Montelimar, Besacon, Vesoul, St. Die, Saales, Strasbough, Colmar. Men of the Third—with their sev-~ en separate presidential unit Citations are proud of their division bein the cause they know it’s a damn fine division. It had to be good to stay in: the line for 190 days without a letup. That record hangs high for other divisions to shoot at.
