It has been bourne in upon us, these last few days, while ‘passing along streets that have suddenly be‘come forested with whiskers that this male adornment, if it may be called. ‘that, ‘flage. Countenances that were open ‘and reflected a generous and affable nature, have suddenly become forbidding and _ repellant. Homely maps that beamed with a wholesome and humorous interest, have sudhandsome with an ‘austere dignity. In. their beginning moet beards, or resemible some growini cannot undergo a kind of confinement in a hosemerging therefrom with a beard. Instead he must scratch and parade his effort under the appraising and critical eyes of. his: friends and neighbors fom. the day ‘they One comforting thought must come to the man who can and does grow a ‘beard. It is that the pants wearing, cigaret smoking, truck driving, and. cocktail lounging, female of the specjes will not imitate him here. There behind his beard, whatever it is. . mutton chops, chin, ‘fringe;. or full flowered, he will have the comforting assurance that no mere woman will emulate him. Those flowing whiskers mark him, set him apart, nobly distniguishing him as the male of the species. Male goats and gorillas have the same attributes is no matter; forget it. Looking at the matter from the historical standpoint, especially those days of the Gold Rush when men and mighty few women, came from the far ends of the earth to dig gold. out of these hills of ours, the whisker assumes an ‘important grandsire concealed his emotions when betting on two deuces behind a mass of facial chaparral. On cold mornings the full length beard, meaning the kind that descended to the belt, kept the frost off the brawny chest. On forensic occasions when oratory wae in order, the beard gave the speaker eonfidence and his words an oracular quality, issuing as it were from a pile of brush, rather than a mouth of cave as in the old Greek times. ‘We have wondered in this age of high speed when every minute must count in earning taxes for the government, why men do not cease and desist from. using a razor. It takes at deast 20 minutes of very valuable government time to shave the whisers. It takes this time 365 days a year. Let the reader figure out the number of days a man uses up anmually in the vain business of shaving and see what a difference that ‘would make if he devoted the time to earning his taxes. There would also be the immense saving in razor blades and lather. Some men could completely pay their federal taxes if they would give up shaving, others time shavings or shavings to meet the ‘bill. As contrasted with those ‘days of old and days of gold.’ we of this modern time look upon the .beard-: ed phiz as something of a joke. But in those old day when pranksters cut off or pruned the whiskers of a sleeping Argonaut it was no laughing matter. When he waked and discovered the calamity, he sought out the jokers with a. gun in each fist and often quick footwork only saved blood spilling. In those days a man’s whiskers and the way he wore them or the way he chewed them in a-rage marked him for the man he was, to OPA: is understood summer’ resort areas are not under rent control. . . is a wonderful. camou. }: .

SAN FRANCISCO GETS AIR FREIGHT TERMINAL SAN FRANCISCO, May 23—San Francisco was selected because it is the heart of California’s agricultural producing areas and is a great consumer market for middlewestern and .

LACK OF RAIN RAISES EARLY FIRE HAZARDS Guerdon Ellis, supervisor of Tahoe national forest, yesterday said that the absence of normal spring rains, coupled with drying winds, has hastened the drying and curing. of grasses carpeting the foothills and mountain slopes, to such an. extent that they are now an extreme fire hazard and therefore all regulations are immediately fect. The regional forester, S. B.

Both animals were brought to the surface by means of hoists.: The dog when he disappeared 45 days ago weighed 65 pounds and lost 450f them in the mine shaft. Neither animal had broken bones, accounted for by the fact they carried with them down the shaft a lot of old rotting brush. which had covered the mine shafts for years as a kind of protection against stock. Mr. and Mrs. Leanord Redman, proprietors of Lady Jane Manor report that Spot is rapidly regaining his strength. The cow suffered abSains and bruises and lost considerable poundage, but otherwise was uninjured amd is now recovering. BEAVER PLANTED IN 8 COUNTIES SAIN. FRANCISCO, May 23—Live trapping by the Division of Fish and Game for the 1946 season started May.1 in the San Joaquin valley according to A. L.

Senator William F: California is urging enactment of his new bill to outlaw off shore gambling ships .and their feeders, the water taxis in a determined effort to prevent the establishment. of Zangster. dynasties in the state. Knowland became irked at the success of a gambling ship operator in getting lumber to convert a vessel now.riding off Southern California into a luxurious gambling barge while war veterans find it virtually impossible to obtain enough lumber to build homes. Consequently he has introduced in the senalte a bill making it a federal offense, punishable by and prison sentences, to operate or permit gambling aboard a .vessel anchored outside state jurisdictions. The bill. would make it actually illegal to transport persons to such gambling ships. At the same time the California senator has demanded that the Civlian Production Administration Knowland ; heavy fines VALLEY QUAIL MAY BE NATIVE OF NEVADA Are the valley quail now common in the western half of Nevada native to this region as are the desert and mountain quail? This question continues ‘to intrigue students of natural history and is now being studied by Dr. F. Richardson of the University of Nevada biology ‘department. In 1880 a naturalist named Henry W. Henshaw reported that there were no valley quail east°of the Sierras while eight years later recorde show that these birds .were present in Esmeralda county where they are . étill plentiful. Valley quail however are not found iv the southern and eastern portions of the state where the desert and mountain quail have apparently always been present. It is a known fact that the first valley quail in the Paradise, Carson City, Fallon and Lovelock areas were introduced by Mian. Proximity to California on the other hand indicates that the birds may be native to the far western tighten the loopholes in its regula-. from being diverted to gamibling . ship construction. . By his action here at Washington! Knowland joined forces with the . state officials striving to prevent . circumvention of the laws of Cali-. fornia, by making the state’s prob. In fact proposed legislation all states and territories of the United States. “This .off shore gambling project threat to California,’ is a good government in Knowland said todia.’. to nip this business in the . bud means-that we will be confront. ed with gangland dynasties such as . . those which gripped American life . during a bitter era of not long ago.’’. If one ship is permitted to operate off one portion of the state's . shore, Knowland pointed out, wit . won't be long before water taxis are plying their trade out of every other harbor of our stalte,” in serving the gambling ships at sea. The bill which the California legislator is pressing for early consideration would make it illegal for anyone ‘to set up gambling aboard any vessel within the admiralty and maritime jurisdiction of the United Sta'tes and outside the jurisdiction of any particular state. It would make it uulawful also to induce, entice, solocit or permit _anyone to gamible aboard such ships. Violation would be punishable by inyprisonment up to two years or a he of $10,000 or both. Similarly master. of illegal water taxis would be fined $300 while the owner or charterer would face a penalty of $200 for each passenger carried to a gambling ship. Farm Market To Open June 15 The Grass Valley Chamber , of Commerce at. its forum meeting yesterday heard the report of David Lamson its representative on the Nevada County Farm Market committee,.who stated that the market would open on June 15 and would be open three days each week. Lamson said that the Farm Market opened late last season with 7 farmers supplying it and before the season was over 30 were offering farm ‘produce in the market stalls. He expected to see that number greatly increased ths season, A fee of 3 per cent of gross sales is charged the farmers. Art Rempel the chambers representative on the Whiskerino committee reported that during the ‘first session sixty new members were admitted to the Whiskerino club eachof whom is to qualify by growing a beard. : George Endter chairman of the chamber’s air scout squardon stated that nine boys had entered the preliminary courses for membership and had been assigned project, that completed will entile them to become apprentice air scouts.

Accurate data on the early day distribution of these birds is difificult to obtain. Richardson commented since no organized: records have kept by the state. The most complete and detailed work available is called Birds of Nevada by Dr. Jean M. Linsdale but there’ is still much research to be done in this field.

Senator William F: California is urging enactment of his new bill to outlaw off shore gambling ships .and their feeders, the water taxis in a determined effort to prevent the establishment. of Zangster. dynasties in the state. Knowland became irked at the success of a gambling ship operator in getting lumber to convert a vessel now.riding off Southern California into a luxurious gambling barge while war veterans find it virtually impossible to obtain enough lumber to build homes. Consequently he has introduced in the senalte a bill making it a federal offense, punishable by and prison sentences, to operate or permit gambling aboard a .vessel anchored outside state jurisdictions. The bill. would make it actually illegal to transport persons to such gambling ships. At the same time the California senator has demanded that the Civlian Production Administration Knowland ; heavy fines VALLEY QUAIL MAY BE NATIVE OF NEVADA Are the valley quail now common in the western half of Nevada native to this region as are the desert and mountain quail? This question continues ‘to intrigue students of natural history and is now being studied by Dr. F. Richardson of the University of Nevada biology ‘department. In 1880 a naturalist named Henry W. Henshaw reported that there were no valley quail east°of the Sierras while eight years later recorde show that these birds .were present in Esmeralda county where they are . étill plentiful. Valley quail however are not found iv the southern and eastern portions of the state where the desert and mountain quail have apparently always been present. It is a known fact that the first valley quail in the Paradise, Carson City, Fallon and Lovelock areas were introduced by Mian.

If one ship is permitted to operate off one portion of the state's . shore, Knowland pointed out, wit . won't be long before water taxis are plying their trade out of every other harbor of our stalte,” in serving the gambling ships at sea. The bill which the California legislator is pressing for early consideration would make it illegal for anyone ‘to set up gambling aboard any vessel within the admiralty and maritime jurisdiction of the United Sta'tes and outside the jurisdiction of any particular state. It would make it uulawful also to induce, entice, solocit or permit _anyone to gamible aboard such ships. Violation would be punishable by inyprisonment up to two years or a he of $10,000 or both. Similarly master. of illegal water taxis would be fined $300 while the owner or charterer would face a penalty of $200 for each passenger carried to a gambling ship.
