Nevada City Nugget 305 Broad Street. Phone 36. v A Legal Newspaper, as defined by statute. Printed and Published at Nevada City, : e Editor anu i-cPublished Semi-Weekly, Monday anu tuu:sdiy at Nevada City, California, and enlefed as Ma matter of the second class in the postoffice at 2 Nevada City under Act of Congress, March 3, p 1879. ‘ SUBSCRIPTION RATES One year: (in Advance) <..:.2..0.2.-...----.: $3.00 One NON i eh se ieee 30 cents JAP CITIZENSHIP Patriots who really work at it are the Native Sons of the Golden West. who held their 66th annual convention last week. Patriotism is their avocation, State loyalty their creed. And every community in California has a goodly representation on its roster. . they chose the Japs, passing resolutions by unanimous votes . to exchange interned Japs for prisoners of the Nipponess, to . keep all Japs in the relocation camps “until other arrange ments can be made” and to “bar forever American-born Jap. anese from United States citizenship.”’ However much we may lean toward the general policy of forgiveness for sins committed, or how sincerely we may . desire to start a new post-war world with the slate wiped clean, the truth remains that the entire Jap war strategy was long ago based on American friendship and unsuspecting generosity through the years. The strongest possible insurance so far. ‘in sight against a repetition of the perfidy is perhaps their disbarment as U. S. citizens—though somebody has suggested the same end might be achieved by simply making it a felony for a Jap to carry a camera or notebook as in “peace’’ times. The Native Sons’ proposals will find both support and opposition. Meanwhile, this is one year when all Californians, whether born here or not, appreciate to the fullest extent the A STEP FORWARD Warren and will undoubtedly aid in meeting the critical manpower problem on the railroads. The néw law does not autoorc the commission to relax such provisions in cases will doubtless act to correct the: situation—and there can be no question that the new legislation is a step in the righ direction. The people of California however would have had greater respect for the legislature if the senate had followed the example of the assembly and gone the whole way and suspended the needless and harmful provisions of the law, instead of passing the buck to the Railroad Commission. a HANDS FOR THE HARVEST sult of the shortage of farm labor. ned to enlist thousands of week end workers from the cities, work in the fields during the peak harvest months. posed entirely of practical farmers, also has members of its staff in the field locating emergency housing facilities for the es, county and district fair buildings will be utilized for workers who can’t find accommodations on the farms, and the people in communities adjoining farming areas will also be asked to provide quarters for some of the harvest hands. Farmers, meanwhile, are advising the council when to expect peak labor demands in each section, so that labor-sharing programs can be put into operation. And in Washington, California representatives are working with the federal government to augment the state's own sources of labor supply with Mexican workers. : “Bringing in the Sheaves” this year, with California’s farmmendous job, beset by many handicaps. But somehow, some way, the crops must be harvested—and it is reassuring that the new Food Production Council is losing no time in getting the job organized. GOVERNMENT—BY THE PEOPLE No reasonable person will object to government controls during the. emergency. The American public has accepted the dictates of Washington as they have been handed down, willingly and cooperatively. But nowhere in America are the words ‘“‘directives,” “‘orders,’’. and ‘‘controls’’ popular. War words possibly. Peacetime words in this country—never! __ Under the present tightening manpower controls a man is told what he can earn, whether or not he can have a raise, what he can eat, how much he can charge for what he sells, what materials he can have, whether he is to go into the military service or not, whether he is-necessary or unnecessary, whether his business is essential or, nonessential. As a result of many Washington controls, millions of people in this country are now in a quandry over their rapidly diminishing rights. Born and reared in freedom, America sents the possibility that a controlled economy may persist, r some indications have pointed to a continuation of such a mndition after the emergericy’ has past. Let us never forget for a moment that this is a democrathe government of the United States, the state gov. its and the local governmental bodies are servants of This year there was no lack of material to work or anc . the : . opi . . ie 11 ln CoO WAR PLANS } S R = = en sincere and patriotic efforts of both the Native Sons and their} ; sister group, the Native Daughters. : WILL WOMEN GO _.

The American people will submit to controls during an emergency but they will never “goose step’ to any tune nor will they ever “‘heil’’ any dictator. When war threatens and national unity is paramount in defense against a common enemy, the American people will go over the top, all-out, willingly, enthusiastically. But with victory behind them they will return to their homes, their farms, and their jobs as free men with the knowledge that their government is by the people and for the people. . on April 22, 1883.

The big problem today is getting sufficient women into war work. Tomorrow’s problem will be to get them out, and it is the bigger one. ‘Though women jare invited cajoled—ahd soon may be drafted— into men’s jobs today, it won’t be s6 when the peace is won and Johnny comes marching home. Joan’s indisposition to hand the job back to Johnny will be a source of major controversy just as it was after the last war when women used their war time labor leverage to gain their first real economic foothold. Millions are moving into war jobs today who will be asked to move out when the men sail home to become civilians again. Before the end of this year, according to the Barth semi-annual survey, the banking, real estate and insurance businesses of the Pacific Coast will be manned 72 per cent by women, and the department stores will be run with 67 per cent feminine personnel. In Uncle Sam’s services, the Waves alone will total 5,000 officers and 75,000 enlisted women within the next few months. The Women’s Reserve will be as large as the nation’s pre-war navy! In Britain it is believed war weary women will flock back to _ their homes when victory is won. Sir Gerald Campbell figures it this way: “One house in five must be rebuilt, and a woman with a new home is bound to. come and live in it.” Perhaps Sir Gerald has the germ of an idea there. Maybe the solution lies not in government edict but in personal resolve. Let our returning heroes take full advantage of the veterans’ farm and home loan program now in the making, and then personally set about wheedling their womenfolk into turning over their jobs to the vets in exchange for cozy cottages and firesides to keep. Certainly job would be no more difficult than taking over the mortally defended pillboxes and machine gun nests daily conquered by our boys—single handed. Frederick A. Monske 2 Summoned By Death Frederick Albert ‘Monske, resident of Grass Valley passed away at the Nevada City Sanitarium Saturday. 5: The deceased was a native of FOOD WASTES Growers of perishable vegetable crops in Nevada County may now look to their county USDA ‘War Board for solution of local markeiing problems under a new program recently announced by the War Food Administration to prevent ‘temporary market gluts during peak harfvest periods and to guard against food waste. ie In announcng the new program, Mr. Sleeman, county USDA War Board chairman, pointed out that in normal times there has been some waste of vegetable crops at peak harvest due to unattractive prices, temporary labor shortages and other causes. “When food was plentiful, this loss was expected by growers as a normal risk of doing business’ he stated. “However, every bit of food produced this year is essential to the “prosecution of the war.’’ To prevent food waste and help growers maintain favorable marketing conditions, the county war board will cooperate with the War Food Administration, the food trade and consumer groups to increase consumption of fresh vegetables at peak marketing periods. Growers are urged to keep the county war board accurately informed of any crops which cannot be marketed through the usual channels. The war board will report all local gases of possible loss of food to théi FDA. Attempts will be made to utilize such crops by processing, harvesting for seed or diversion to livestock whichever disposition is most feasible. : If further marketing assistance is necessary, the Food Distribution Administration’ will make purchases for diversion into processing chanhes; = * Mr. Sleeman also explained taht should purchases be made, prices to be paid will be governer by prevailing marketing condition. Consideration will also be given to area differences, quality and the needs in relation to the WFA sponsored vegetable production program. Purchases will. be announced from time to time, as the need arises. In the event that total offers exceed the amount that the FDA is authorized to buy, purchases will be allocated b a special county War Board sub-committee of growers of the Stoddard, Wisconsin, and was born commodity involved. ERNEST CHAPMAN
ALREADY HAS 19 COMBAT HOURS Dr. C. W. Chapman has received copies of letters written by his grandson, Lieut. Ernest Chapman, to his mother in North Carolina earlier this month. Ernest is in North Africa and has been there only ae few months but has seen much action. We quote parts of the letters: “T have had quite an opportunity to see a lot of North Africa. It is a very beautiful country at least at this time of the year. It is much like several times, only it is on a larger scale. ‘You remember Lieut. Wells. who went to the.show with us at New York. He got shot down-by a “‘Jerry”’ and was rescued at sea. by the English. Rodney Fisher is now in our squadron, he left the states after“we did. I am well satisfied with the squardon I am in. It has about the best record in the Air Force. These older pilots know how to run things You know that slogan “Save your cockiness for combat.’’ Well this is one place where cockiness does not go. There is a better slogan you have probably heard. “There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no-old bold pilots.” ‘‘Discretion is the better part of valor.” I have been luckier than other fellows in receiving mail. I now have 19 combat hours, about 5 missions. I guess you must keep pretty close tab on the campaign. The news is sure good now. I am glad I was able to contribute my bit oo it. I just got through® censoring a bunch of enlisted men’s mail. They must all have written to their mothers yesterday, Mothers Day. We have a good bunch of enlisted men, they are hard workers and pretty eager. They really keep our planes in excellent shape. Before we go to bed tonight we will cook up some eggs and make some chocolate. Having something to fix like that kind of replaces candy, cake, etc. We are quite comfortably situated with radio, stove and electric lights. I use my electric razor all the time to shave. I will be sending home some money orders in the near future, please deposit the money.”’ Love ERNEST, BACK UP gam?
