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. .

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,

no question that the new legislation is a step in the righ direction.

passing the buck to the Railroad Commission.

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. :

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.

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. .

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.

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

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.”’
