LEETE ies = : Editor and Publisher Published Semi-Weekly, Monday and Friday at Nevada City. California, and.entered as mail matter of the second class in the postoffice at Nevada City. under Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATE One year (In Advance) i ple -.82.50 Give Thanks Thanksgiving approaches again this year, and on this occasion the presence of war abroad makes more important than ‘ever our American habit of pausing for a day and counting our blessings. Even the difference of opinion this year concerning the date on which the event will be celebrated points to something American for which we ought to be thankful—. the democratic right to disagree about matters involving us solely as individuvals. What, in 1939, are some of the things for which it is worthwhile to pause in whatever we are doing at the moment and list some of the reasons we are glad that we"are Americans. ; : We should be thankful. most of all. for two precious heritages our forefathers gave us, heritages that it is worth everything in the world for us to preserve. These two fundamentals are freedom and opportunity. They are characteristic of America in a manner and degree not matched in any other land. We should be thankful. in a world at war, that we are at peace with all nations, and that there exists in this country, a * _ public will to peace. We should be grateful for our system of ; fepresentative democracy, which guarantees the fact that this public will to peace will be heeded. We should be thankful for the high standard of living this country possesses for the fact that its real wealth, which _is measured in terms of automobiles and radios and the material objects that all Americans can use and enjoy, is more widely distributed than is that of any other nation. We should be even more thankful that the system under which we live is designed to raise those standards even higher in the future. While other nations are. at war, or remain precarious neutrals with armies poised on their borders, we in America look forward to a future growing before our eyes in the labor* atories of industry, where new products and new services are being developed that will mean more jobs and payrolls. But we must not merely be thankful. This opportunity is also an obligation: That obligation lies in our making every effort to use the advantages we have here to the utmost—not to be fainthearted, not to neglect the opportunities that exist here, not to abuse the freedom we ate granted. Thus Thaksgiving this yéar ought at once to be a day in which we count our blessings, and one on which we remember the responsibilities that are otirs—Contributed. , An Important Distinction . The recent indictment of ‘the nominal head of the American Communist Party, Earl Browder, turns the spotlight upon the contrast between two ways of life and two habits of thought. ° Ue Browder has been indicted for travelling to Moscow on forged passports, an act which he frankly admitted in sworn testimony before the Dies Committee a short time ago. Now he is about to stand trial, protected by all the Constitutional rights that guarantees any citizen of this country, no matter fiow heinous his crime, a fair hearing. : : Picture a similar situation if it had occurred under one of the systems under which these protections do not exist, and to_,wards which Browder, if he had his way, would willingly drive this country. The victim would not receive an open and fair hearing but a star chamber proceeding, and as soon as the ad_ Mission was drawn from him that he had used forged passports, the firing squad would be trotted out to do its work. _._~ Yet, in this country where the rights of the individual are _ 80 jealously guarded, the followers of the Communist chief are even now complaining that he is being persecuted merely because he is a Red. ___. We trust—indeed, we know—that Browder will have his Constitutional right to a free trial. But it is important to make the distinction, so frequently and easily neglected by the enemies of this country as soon as they happen to step out of bounds, between the just protection of citizens and_ their ‘right to violate the country's laws in the interest of underning the very Constitution to which they so brazenly apA TIMELY REMINDER ___ SS Uf Ky re} SCOUT LEADERS TO ATTEND CAMP ‘PAHATSI SCHOOL Nearly forty patrol leaders and troop officers met last week-end at the Tahoe Area council camp on Lake Lilborn and received instruction in the elements of patrol “Jeadership.
