Listen for the Victory ring of today’s Minute Man sometime during this week. When you answer the doorbell give the Minute Man a minute to sign your pledge to buy War Savings. Bonds or Stamps regularly every payday until the enemy is subjugated. Following the example of the Minute Men of Concord and Lexington in 1775, thousands of modern Victory Men and Women of California are organizing to do their bit in the statewide Pledge Victory campaign that began yesterday and ends on Memorial Day. : “This campaign to obtain solemn pledges of the citizens of California, . believe is as important as the determination of our workers and farmers for all out production and of or military organizations to maintain our lines of offense and communication,” declares War Savings Chairman Mrs. Paul Kemper. ‘The first line of victory is on the home front, and the first line on the home front is dollars to get the raw materjals and convert them into utensils of war.” California has been assigned a quota of $40,0] 1,100 for the wish of the Treasury Department to sell at least a billion dollars worth of War Bonds nationally every month. The national total quota for May is $600,000,000. * Emulating the “Midnight Ride of Paul Revere,” today's Minute Men will visit every home in the state to “raise the alarm” in asking every man, woman and child to sign a solemn pledge to purchase War Bonds or Stamps at stated intervals out of current income. The pledge is not a contract, it is a promise to invest .a stated amount in the nation so that victory can be won. All the information will be held in strictest confidence and for every $75 invested the government will _yeturn $100 upon the maturity of the War Bond. The pledges will permit the government to estimate as accurately as possible its future funds from voluntary investment. The widespread objective of the Minute Men Mrs. Kemper explained, is threefold. First, to make every man, woman and child a shareholder in America. Second, to raise money through voluntary purchase of War Bonds and Stamps to help meet the cost of total war, and third, this money lent the government is taken out of competition for consumer goods, thereby preventing inflation and building up a cushion of savings for the individual when victory is won—for if there is no victory there will be no FreeAmerica. i. “Give the Victory Minute Men a minute when he calls on you,” urges Mrs. Kemper. “You can help him by staying home during the week of May 24 until ydéu ‘have given him a minute.” } RED CROSS IS 61 . Last week was the 61st birthday of both an organization and an ideal, and never in the intervening period have the two lost touch with each other. Jn war and in peace, in pestilence, famine, fire and flood. the American Red Cross has a glowing record of service to humanity both here and abroad in the 61 years since Clara Barton organized an American society of the international Red Cross which had been formed at Geneva, Switzerland. some 17 years earlier. Poe es ,.. The multifarious and world girdling activities of the Red Cross are too well known to need repeating or to require a * birthday message in the form of publicity buildup. “The Red Cross was too busy on our far flung battlefields to make a big splash in celebration of its birthday. It will ‘simply continue with its countless deeds of mercy and service for the soldiers at the front, their loved ones at home and the disaster-stricken wherever they may be—just as it did in the, ‘past and as it will in the future. desires, in-fact, is the knowledge that somewhere a life is being saved or a home made brighter because of the ideal that was born 61 years ago. Afier obtaining the federal license of blasting is to be done between April 15 and December 1 in areas in California having forest ‘fire hazard, a blasting permit must be obtained from the nearest ranger or firewarden, Supervisor Ellis states.

Leete, Jr. Perhaps you do or don’t like quiet, Or have never had a-chance to try it. Well—a quiet «spell will be here soon— ; From the last of May, ‘till the tenth of June. That’s National Noise Abatement Week; Noises formerly harsh must sound more meek. Less noise is now.a war time ‘‘must’’; Not because your ears are going to bust, But Yecause efficiency falls low, When ears are assaulted by too loud a blow. A janglingbedlam only serves, To prey upon the workers’ nerves.~ The decibel curve has got to drop, And needless noise must presently stop. Car horns were once the worst offender, Whether honked by a borrower or a lender; Let’s neither borrowers nor hankers be, Nor go wpon a raucous spree. Some sounds, of course, delight the ear, While others make one leap with fear. While we’re reforming sounds and such, Heres a thing we'd all like much. The alarm clock has a nasty ring, In fact, it’s really an odious thing. Every morning with fiendish yell, It lets go a blast on a hard steel bell. : If noise abatement can forge ahead, And devise a new way to get us from bed, ‘We'd all be grateful, heart and soul, If a clock could play a pleasanter role. Frankly, we welcome this hush-hush plan, And we’ll help as quietly as ‘we can. So if this thought should get * around, Let it circulate sans too much sound. ? Let’s welcome in the week of hush, With the official password— sh—sh—shush! MAMMOTH RODEO AVBURN MAY 31 ‘Plans for the mammoth amateur rodeo to be staged at the Placer District Fair Grounds a week from Sunday are progressing nicely according to Tom Ridinger, manager of the afThe stock of Bob Barney of Perkins especially ‘trained for rodeo work will be used in the events. The O'Neill twins of Fair Oaks, rodeo clowns ‘will ‘be on hand to do the funny (business. Seven big. events are listed on the posters which have been (broadcast throughout the northern part of the gtate. Ridinger believes it will.be one of the biggest events he has . ever staged. : é Enthusiasm among rodeo followers is being whipped to a high pitch and a large crowd is anitcipated from all section of northern California. Ridinger states that he will conform to the rules of the army to allow a crowd of not more than 5000 on the grounds. NUGGET ADS PAY § ae Ss AW YY rod Yen Have you ever thought how much a million dollars reatiy is? Sure is an awful lot of nice things a fellow could do with a million dollars .. if he had it. A million dollars is a lot of money. : * * * Just think .. it would take about three weeks, counting as fast as you could 24 hours a day, just to count up to a million. I read in the paper the other day that the beer industry pays more than a million dollars a day in taxes ... Federal, State and local. Every day .. more than a ’ million dollars, I guess the government is glad to-get:that-help.these-days, what. with a war to win and pay for. s * 5d * Of course, not all of that beer tax money goes to the Federal government. Quite a lot of it goes to the States and is used for such useful purposes as public-health, emergency relief, old age assistance, education and public welfare. Farmers surely ought to like the beer industry, too, from what I z by Joe Marsh © ~, business. hear. Last year the brewers bought nearly two billion pounds of barley malt and nearly half a billion pounds of corn and corn products. And plenty of rice and hops, too. That’s a lot-of farm products.
Back around ’33 and ’34, when the tough old depression was hitting all of us pretty hard, farmers were certainly glad to sell those extra crops that beer bought from them. And come-to-think of it, when beer came back it made lots of new jobs for plenty of other people, too. City folks and country folks both. * * * If I hadn’t gone in for this writing business, I think I’d like to have tried my hand at the brewing _ I'd like to be making a fine tasting beverage that helps the public treasuries so much and that people ean rightly call the “beverage of moderation.” That moderation incidentally is another of the fine , things about beer.
