I wish Someone would ;tell. ] wonder what standards of thought, taste and conduct will prevail in the years that lie just ahead. What-do present day trends seem to portend? Are we destined to grow _ stil! more sophisticated, modernistic and fantastic? or are we, even now, drifting into an era of mid-Victorian restraint, and calm sobriety? We are so prone to adopt fads and fancies that our future is probably unpredictable; perhaps the past is the only criterion by which the future may be forecast. ie A few years since, . was present when a youthful disciple of modernity was removing old American pictures from the parental walls and replacing them with Japanese prints. The owner of the discarded reproductions uttered feeble protests. to no avail. ‘Those things are too obvious to be artistic,’ declared the young exponent of the-subtle in art, afid in so far as obviousness was concerned, he was right. ‘In the first picture appeared an obvious ocean wave, hovered over by obvious sea gulls, in the second picture, one saw an obvious desert, an obvious palm tree or two and an obvious ‘camel stalking the middle distance. Yes, those pictures certainly delineated the obvious; but to my mind, the Japanese prints were also obvious. They represented obvious Japanese men, women and children and obvious parasols. The foreground and middle distance were fairly cluttered with obvious temples, pagodas and statues of “the great god, Budd.” In the background were the obvious outlines of Japan's faroite hill, Fugi Yama. Nothing so very subtle about all that, still, concealed behind an imposing statue of the peave loving Buddha there may have been a gang of Japan’s subtle war lords, plotting and planning that subtle attack upon Pearl Harbor. I wonder what became of those: Japanese prints. Ten to one, they are not adorning the parental walls today. Oh well, we Americans are not inherently subtle, perhaps it would be just as well for us, to cling to the obvious; there is plenty of it to ¢ling to at the present time. I wonder if it is not already obvious that Mr. Willkie would not like to be the next occupant of the White House. He is well worth watching, this man of the rasping voice and the gogetter spirit and we voters should make ourselves familiar with his characteristics, and his brand of idealism. If we do not, we may suddenly find ourselves confronted with the question, ‘‘am . for him, or_agin’ him? With nothing of certain knowledge to guide us. Know thy candidate should be an important command in every voter's decalogue. Uncle Silas says: ‘President Roosevelt's favorite hymn must surely be, Oh Where is my Wandering Wife Tonight.” —A.

The increased war work must be done by people already in California, the committee points out, since there are no living accommodations or other facilities for additional people. Its survey shows that housewives are the only group left in the state which has not yet been fully mobilized for war industries. But before a woman applies for or accepts a part time job outside her home, the committee explained that there are things she should do in order to make sure that she can stay on the job. She must first put her home in good working order so that it will not be necessary to take care of its needs. She’ d TOMORROW'S MEN DEPEND ON TODAY'S PARENTS vocative title of the first public adt have about them -is actually about ourselves—and our ability to make Places for them befitting their sacrifice and their new dignity.

The Manpower Committee believes women can do it simply because many women already are doing it. Their aid is recognized not simply as important, but imperative. So, the efficiency experts of additional millions of American homes may shortly transfer their talents to the war plants, shouldering the double responsibility of helping to win the war abroad, while performing their usual domestic duties in their own homes as well. ; CENSORING THE CENSORS The War Department asks anyone finding remarks added by censors in letters received from soldiers to report the incident to the Adjutant General. It says: “Consorship of communications to and from persons under military jurisdiction is a necessity in wartime to prevent the disclosure of information which would give aid and com‘fort to the enemy. — “The War Department has never intended that privacy of the mail should be invaded beyond this absolute necessity for security. ; Some of the remarks added by the censors have been witty or intended to cheer. But in too many instances the censors have taken it upon themselves to scrible caustic comment on 1 soldier's letter that caused nothing but heartburn to the folks In clapping the new censorship on those who must read aidiers’ mail, the War Department has doubtless won the atitude of many who have hitherto had good reason to feel i new president of Stanford University; . Provocative because it challenged ‘current conceptions of today’s youth —tomorrow’s men. Wasn’t it only a brief year or two ago when we were shaking our heads and wondering whether the slack, irresponsible playboys of the colleges would ever amount to very much? Didn’t we wonder if the crazy dances they performed and the idiotic fads they affected wouldn’t blight forever any ‘chance of stability or soundness from their characters? Didn’t we despair of their manners, their morals and their ability to meet the world when their turn came? Well, their turn ‘came—and the boys from fraternity row are cruising the skies over a thousand enemy camps today. They’re meeting the Japs in the jungle and. beating them back over their own trails. They’re sailing out to blast the subs and keeping the sea lanes open. They’re maaning the guns abroad and doing the share to keep the supply lines moving here at home. lic and parental despair over youth's indiscretions and foibles, it often becomes obscure that the character of Tomorrow’s Men—and Women—depends on just one thing — Today’s men—and women. ; Mrs. Bertha Granger Of Indian Flat Passes Mrs. Bertha Granger of Indian Flat passed away at the Nevada ‘County Hospital this morning at 7 o’clock following an illness of three weeks.
