Nevada City Nugget 305 Broad Street.: Phone 36, A Legal Newspaper, as defined by statuté:)Printed and Published : at Nevada City. z H. M. LEETE Editor and HMuy.s+-. « Published Semi-Weekly, Monday ana ini:sday, at Nevada City, California, and entered as Ma matter of the second class in the .postoffice at . f . = = eee : tr roads in every section of the state. It is a huge program involving eventual expenditure of $128,000,000 for road and building construction. “In order to provide appreciable employment at the end of the war,” said the governor, “the program should be developed to the point where contracts can be let as soon as the men return. These things can be done more economically now than if we rush without preparation into them at the termination of hostilities.” An enormous amount of money is required, taxpayers’ money. But California believes the program is sound and is ready to pay for it. It is reassuring to see the governor is deNevada City under Act of Congress, March 3, 48795 SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year (In Advance) .......-----------+----$3.00 a PEE Ce ok 4 . pene isis tage a pcset ana em re pat beeen pels e pe Sipe 30 cents CLEANING UP THE ALEUTIANS aware that the Japs would be willing to pay almost any price, dustries, have particular reason to rejoice that the job of cleaning up the Aleutians is progressing satisfactorily. Since they made their first landings on the fog shrouded, stormswept islands, it has been clearly evident that the Jap high command looked on Attu and Kiska as stepping stones to conquest of not only Alaska, but the Pacific Coast. And we all owe a great debt of gratitude to the men of the Alaskan Bomber Command, who first knocked their well laid plans askew, and now to the splendid men of our Army and Navy who are braving both murderous gunfire and murderous weather to retake the Aleutians and drive the Nip invasion forces into the sea.i! ~ BOMB-MADE FLOODS ‘In the eary stages of its war of nerves, Germany warned the world that it had perfected “secret weapons’’ which would be brought into play at the proper time to overwhelm its enemies, but it is ironic that the only secret weapon thus far used in this war has brought devastation to Germany ‘itself. For the RAF bomb made floods, which have roared over great Ruhr Valley, destroying its vital war industries, come about as close to being a “secret weapon” as any yet employed since hostilities began. More than 50 German towns have been flooded; 50,000 families have been made homeless; tremendous damage to war industries has been caused and the people of Germany have sustained the greatest shock of the war —all as a result of the RAF attack with bombs and mines which blasted out two great dams and released millions of tons of raging flood waters in the Ruhr Basin. Although the waters are now receding and the Hitler war machine is hard at the job of clearing the wreckage and rebuilding, the bomb-made floods are appraised by allied military leaders as ‘‘the heav“jest single blow yet dealt the Reich’’—and there can be little doubt that this is true. Hitler is learning that all the surprises in this war aren't made in Germany.” SABOTAGE ON THE WAY! The FBI doesn’t care how many thousands of false tips it receives from suspicious citizens on possible sabotage—if only it receives the one small link needed for the net that traps a saboteur. And saboteurs are expected. ' Calling on every man, woman and child for “‘constant watchfulness,’”’ J. Edgar Hoover, FBI chief, told the nation recently that a newly trained class of Germans highly educated in wartime sabotage shortly will be released from Berlin. Some will be directed to the United States. _ Nobody enjoys playing the part of informer. But nobody enjoys either the prospect of war plants in ruins, shipyards] wrecked, refineries exploded, bridges dynamited, troop trains demolished, aviation plants blown up or American workmen murdered. The alternative is plain. The smallest suspicious action is worth reporting, says the FBI, again cautioning the amateur sleuth against trying to follow his own clues, thereby warning the foreign agent and losing him. The department's plea for aid from the public undoubt-: edly is bringing a deluge of unfounded reports from overzealous thousands. But if that is the*“way sabotage is prevented and enemy saboteurs brought to justice, let us all be eternally watchful and unafraid to reveal to-the proper authorities “ea seems suspicious or possibly dangerous to the war effort. o. CALIFORNIA: PLANS AHEAD The: ills of confusion, duplication, waste and failure in ~many of the nation’s wartime activities, are due less to sinister motivation than to careless, irresponsible planning. Such planless programming is apparent in conflicting official ‘‘directives,’ orders based on undigested half-facts and in major projects suspended, incomplete and useless after the first enthusiasm has waned. _No such costly confusion will prevail where California's post war reconstruction plan is concerned, it appears. ‘““Any program which is to serve the dual purpose of providing reemployment and immediate restoration of essential highway facilities when peace comes will require careful advance planning,” declared Governor Warren when he signed more than _ 14 million dollars worth of construction bills the other day. The building project will offer jobs to thousands of service men on their return home, and it will restore essential aes — WE INVITE YOU TO PLACE RESPONSIBILITY FOR EVERY DE“TAIL IN OUR CARE—We will arrange § \ the services exactly as you desire.

THINKING OUT LOUD’ (Continued from Page One) * ; California has a million Victory gardens in the backyards, vacant . tots, parks and hillsides of its 58 counties. ‘ her eyebrows and says: ‘Out.’ This probably. means the gloves wanted are no longer in stock, but the customer might take it personally, and not be for wrong at that. A thought which may be helpful here, is this: It will probably be some years before the relations of buyer and seller, as they weré before the war began, are resumed. Prices of many things regarded as staple will continue in the stratosphere, so to speak. The seller is not and never has been ‘responsible for these conditions. The ‘New Deal is only partially responsible, for, not being omniscent, the changing conditions of war could not always be foreseen. It is true that in many _ respects Woodrow Wilson was a better hand at managing a war than F. D. Roosévelt. But by and large, we must accept war conditions in much the same spirit’ that the French people did in the last war. ““C’est la guere,’’ they said and shrugged. War has taken over and we must accept its conditions with as near an approach to good man-hners as we can muster. If some sellers are a trifle uppity, after years of ‘‘we strive to please,’’ let . us at least rebuke them with perfect manners and gentility.
