indigents to the county
from communities in which there is
no private ambulance service.
Senate Bill No. 249 which was introduced by Senator Jesse Mayo was
also one of special interest to the!
various counties of the 6th district. .
The bill amended an act of the state,
legislature which allowed the Uni-.
‘ted States to purchase lands in the.
‘state of California, without first ob-,
taining the consent of the legislature. The act as amended provides
that no such lands may be acquired '
by purchase under the Weeks Law
peeseed by congress: in 1911, without
. first obtaining the consent of the
aoe of supervisors of the county
in which the lands are situated.
At the present time the federal
government owns 42 per cent of the
lands in the state of California and
under the Weeks Law contemplates
the acquisition by purchase of some
three million additional acres. Each
acre of land removed from the tax mits,
rolls of the state, increases the tax
burden on the real property owners
land the boards of supervisors should
first consent before any further
lands are acquired. This bill is the
first step in a long range program
‘for the protection of local government.
REHABILITATION
PLAN WORKS
IN THE-ARMY
By LEONE BAXTER
As well as they remember their
wrapped puttees and the mud of
foreign camps, veterans of the next
to the last World War remember
‘that minor infractions of military
rules meant the guard house; that
major offenses meant dishonorable
discharge and Leavenworth.
Both meant tremendous loss of
manpower which the Army, building
toward 10 million men, can’t afford
today.
In this war, the penalty for felonies such as murder, narcotics violations and sex offenses are yet unchanged, but there is new and enlightened treatment for men convicted of desertion, absence without
leave, petty thievery, involuntary
manslaughter, inswbhordination and
sleeping on guard duty.
To the boys who saw Argonne
and Crateaux Thierry and Belleau
Wood, the hew procedure sounds
somewhat amusing, for it is based
on sciences untapped by the Army
in the days of Big Bertha and the
Jenny. Its fundamentals are psychoGRASS VALLEY-NEVADA CITY HIGHWAY

tributed around the nation, the ‘lost

(Company, and after training eventually get back into the Army, go into new outfits where their records
do not follow. Twenty five per cent
of the boys make _— grade at Pickett.
The reasons for infractions
military regulations should be of
‘particular interest to civilians. Inexperienced juntor officers sometimes cause trouble, the Army adInability to take discipline,
causes more. The odd belief that,
insubordination opens doors to battle action brings a certain type to
prison camp. But most cases of ‘‘going over the hill’? have their incentive in trouble filled letters from
home!
That the new rehabilitation plan is
working better than the plain penal
servitude of other wars is indicated by the large percentage of good
men returned by the modern method
to military duty, proud to be trusted
again by Uncle Sam and eager to
reclaim themselves in his’ service.

BRANDY CITY
SEEMS ASSURED
The access road to the virgin timber stand in the vicinity of Brandy
City, an old mining camp long since
abandoned, steadily approaches realization, according to. Supervisor
Guerdon Ellis of the Tahoe National
Forest. :
During the past week P. D. Hanson, chief of timber management of
the regional office of forestry in San
Francisco, and Bruce Burnett; chief
of transportation planning in the
same office, viewed the proposed
route of the new road and were reported, unofficially, aS approving
the .project. However, it must first
be approved by the War Production
Board in Washington before work
can be started.
Ellis states that the road will
cost approximately $90,000. It will
start from Indian Valley and ascend
the mountain into the timber country by easy grades. The virgin timber tract has been cruised and the
forest service report 278,000,000
board feet of lumber will be avail-;
able for’ cutting over a period of 35
years. Lumber interests are ready to
move in the moment the road _ is
ready.
