Brilliant Parade To Be Highlight Of Rice Fete Annual Event To Be Held Saturday Night In Grass Valley Who can see furtherest into the future, Linbergh or any one of our army or navy chiefs? To anxious and perplexed bystanders, we would say without the least hesitation that we give more weight to what our military leaders tell us than to Colonel Lindbergh’s speeches. And for this reason: We hire and pay our military and naval boards to see as far into future as’ is humanly possible, and they are specially trained : and equipped to do just that. The rest of us only know what we read and hear over the radio. ‘Col. Lindbergh, to this ‘writer at least, is something of a paradox He was the first aviator to show the world that the Atlantic is only 83 hours across; and that the airplane has reduced distance and time to a small fraction of what it was a generation ago. And since he demonstrated that wonder (as it was then) the time across the Atlantic -has been halved. Our bombers make the flight to Great Britain in a little over 10 hours. But this same man, who made such a prodigious cut in time and distance with his flight in the Spirit of St. Louis, now wishes us_ believe that if we build our home defenses high enough we in the New World will not attacked by the totalitarians. We are counselled not. do those things which will anger Hitler, Mussolini, et al, These are two assumptions, first, that Hitler will not attack us because of: the distance and the difficulty, and second, that if we refrain from angering the dictators they will not wish to attack us. In support of the first assumption, Lindbergh points out the difficultjes that the Germans have encountered in crossing a mere thirty miles of the English Channel. On the second assumption there nothing offered in the way of support. The story of Normay, Holland, and Belgium, of Greece, of Yugoslavia, and the other nations which aré now being slowly ground into the dust, offers proof that mere friendliness or neutrality on the part of any nation, carries an almost certain guarantee of invasion, believe that Hitler would. immediately begin an attack on the: United States the moment England fell, We believe he would do exactly as he has done in the. past. In the case of Yugo. slavia, he brought Bulgaria first into submission by a_ series of threats. When Yugoslavia refused to permit passage of troops, he then invaded it from Bulgaria. We do believe that he would first take over most of the South American countries, just as he did in Rumania and Bulgaria gradually establish the Germans there, then advance into Central America and finally strike at the United States and Canada. e*We~ don’t When Col. Lindbergh talks of remaining at peace, refraining from giving offense to the driver of the German Juggernaut, apparently he shuts ‘his eyes to recent history. In fact we doubt whether a Germany triumphant in Europe, Africa and the Middle East would, or could, ever rest until the planet was under its dominance. Power grows by feeding upon more power, by immasculating one nation after another until all are serving as eunuchs in economy of the Germans. No one can say whether Britain will fall or not, but if sturdy resojution to die rather than yield is worth anything in such a world of force as now exists, England will not fall. Whether England falls or not, this battle in the ultimate sense, is bound to be our battle. It will make very little difference to us in the United States, whether the Germans actually invade and control our lives from Washington, by dictum of satraps appointed from Berlin, or whether due to great navies created by Germany in a later time, we are permanently restricted to our own (Continued on Page Two) A brilliant parade and elaborate entertainment program will be features of the annual Nevada County Bowl of Rice fete, which will be held Saturday night in Grass Valley for the benefit of the war stricken of China. ‘ The parade willbe through the business district of ‘Grass Valley and will end at the Veterans Memorial Building, where the entertainment and Rice Bowl Ball will be held, Nevada Cityans are cooperating wholeheartedly in the staging of the Rice Bowl fete and Edward Tinloy, Sr., chairman of fhe committee arranging for the ball, announced many tickets have been sold here.

FUNERAL HELD FOR FORMER NEV. CITY RESIDENT Pieat services were held on Monday in Los Angeles for the late Riley Seymour Lewis, who passed away suddenly from a heart attack on last Thursday at 11:30 a. m. at his home in Belvedere Gardens, in that city.

Kirkham of the Blue Tent, section. The following year he en-. tered the U. S. Army and served in. France for four months. He was—discharged in April 1919.

In calling the meeting to order, President Edward Hamilton of the Gold Miners Unoin, the AFL organization formed sat the outbreak of the labor dispute, announced he believed it is for the best interests of the labor men to return to work and urged the strike rescinding action. Last Saturday, by a vote of 285 to 165, the strikers decided to continue the strike. Yesterday approximately fifty underground miners passed the picket lines to work, Hamilton said the AFL chapter here will continue to function. The men at the mines, however, returned to work under the provisions of the Nevada County Mine Workers Protective ‘League bargaining agency contract, which has a year to run. The Idaho Maryland Corporation announced the men returned to worn under the same conditions and pay scales as when they went out on strike, The strike rescinding vote paved the way for the return to work of 1,100 men. The number reporting’ for their jobs Tuesday however, was considerably less than that figure. Many already had departed ‘for oth-. er mining camps to obtain employment and a large number went to the Hawaiian Islands to work on a government ‘project. The mine management’s. offer provides for $5.26 per day for muckers and $5.76 for miners with time and one half for Saturday. The time and one half provision on Saturday will mean an increase of between $12 and $15 per month for the employes. The scale is the same as adopted recently by the Empire Star’ Mines, Ltd., which operates five properties in the county.
