CITY, CALIFORNIA The Gold Cone THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15. 1945_ THINKING OUT . LOUD By H. M. L. Thinking of Armistice Day and other holidays commemorative of wars and war endings in this country, it occurs to us that we_ shall \pe asking eongress to declare another national holiday and perhaps two of them, one for the end of the war in the Atlantic and another for the end of the Pacific war. Officially of course, neither war is ended nor likely to be in the near future, for the reason that when the war is declared officially at end, a lot of the emergency powers granted the president will end also. At the moment very few of us would like to see these powers ended abruptly since it would confound the confusion which already envelopes Washington like a dense fog. But when the total war, both in the Atlantic and the Pacific is declared ended, that will probably be one day at anyrate, which congress will set aside asa national holiday. Veterans who fought our global will ask for it undoubtedly, and we do not believe there will be any objection. As time goes on we accumulate holidays. One might expect the thrifty. Yankees ‘would eventually combine memorial holidays in and save. several days to the worka-day calendar. For instance, we now have Decoration Day and Armistice Day, and Independence Day. which since it ‘originated in the midst of a war might easily be and sometimes is ,treated aS a memorial day. add another holiday in those whe perished in World War IT, that will be four holidays commerorating the heroic dead of four wars. We were left nio holiday for the War of 1812, the Mexican War or the Spanish American War. one If we memory of But time has proved the Yanks are not only thrifty but they are also idealistic, which means that they will seek to commemorate by a holiday those whioo gave their lives for freedom, maintaining the union of states, and championing the freedom of other peoples upon this planet. A holiday in which the-minds and hearts of the nation are especthose who have made the complete sacfifice for their country is an act of veneration and consecration which draws’ us close together in a national unity and helps in a small measure, at least, in our struggle to achieve unity among factions in our own country and a sense of brotherhood with all peoples of the earth. We have not reached that condition of multitudinous holidays that prevails in many Buropean countries, notably in England, France and the Latin countries. We are 1s yet historically too young to ‘have accumulated such a wealth, or shall wwe say a plague, of holidays as have the older nations. So, relatively speaking, we can still affor@ to de«lare several more holidays. There is one consideration, however, that should give us pause. The more commemorative days we set aside on the calendar, the, less we shall come to value them. That is a trait of human nature, We can hardits consequences. A man with three automobiles thinks less of each of them, than another man does his automobile. The _lesser holidays will be accorded :adiminishing celebration. We can recall the days of 1880s and 1890s when Decoration Day ranked well with Independence Day in the magnitude of its popular observance. Those were days when the Grand of the Repubjic and Women’s Relief Corps were great and mighty organizations. Those marching hosts of Americans who lived and fought,through the ‘Civil War have vanished over the western horizon. Their children and grandchildren do not have the same fervid profound sense of thankfulmess that the Union was preserved, that slavery was abolished. Memory diminishes and history takes over. Thanksgiving and Christmas are religious holidays. Labor Day might ibe called ‘an economic ‘holiday. Admission Day is of course a state holiday and only observed as such. Birthdays of Washington and Lincoln are CARL eth CHAS. E. UREN WIDELY KNOWN ENGINEER. DEAD Ed C. Uren received word Monday of the sudden passing of his brother Charles in Berkeley the preceding night. Mr. and Mrs. Uren had only just returned from a visit with his brother and wife last Saturday at which time he was about the house as usual although not in the best of health. Charles E, Uren, a native of Dutch Flat, where he was born 85 years ago, started life as a telegraph operator for the Southern Pacific Company. Prior to settling. in Grass—VaHey he was chief draughtsman at the U. S. Surveyor General’s office in San Francisco. He was well known in Grass Valley where he practiced his profession as mining engineer for many years, relinquishing it in 1898 to. take chirge of the reopening of the Allison Ranch Mine. under the Mackay regime. Shortly thereafter he left the Allison Ranch to assume the management of the Eagle Shawmut in Tuolumne County, a post which he held for 13 years, For the past 34 years he and his wife have been living in retirement at their home on Channing Way. On November ist, they celebrated their 68rd wedding anniversary. He leaves to mourn his passing, his wife, who was formerly Margaret Jameson of Dutch Flat; his son, Lester C.

Arraigned before Justice of the Peace George Gildersleeve, their preliminary hearing was set for Monday. Both men have confessed, according to District Attorney H.Ward Sheldon, who stated that the money stolen, $262, had been recovered intact. but that 18 bottles of whiskey taken, Gerber revealed had been destroyed when the two became frightened that the burglary ‘would be charged against them.

Lt. Col. Allen Chapman is_ expected to make a report within a short time upon the improvements needed and their cost, in order to provide accommodations not only for_private planes, but for two engined planes engaged in feeder service to national, air transport companies. observed in appropriate programs by the schools and more briefly by the people, though we think all patrotic Americans should utter a reverent thanks to their Creator that He sent us two such leaders. As history slowly comes to its conclusions we may, in time, celebrate other birthdays of our national leaders. In any event we feel certain that we shall gain holidays as time elapses. The next one just coming over the horizon is a day to commemorate those -who gave their lives in World II. COUNTY FAIRS Te RESUME IN 1946 SACRAMENTO, Nov. majority. of California’s 65 district and county fairs are expected to resume their annual exhibits in 1946 Gov. Earl Warren announced.

KELLY ASKS WHY NOT A STRIKE AGAINST TAXES LOS ANGELES, Nov. 15°— The workers and employers of America, instead of fighting each other, should both go ‘‘on strike against paying j}exhorbitant tribute to extrevagant government” in excessive taxes that drain pay envelopes and ‘business tills alike, Earl L. Kelly, -prospective Republican candidate for governor © lot California declared here, . Speaking before-the-Los~ Angeles Breakfast Club, Kelly cited tax facts to support his contention that ‘‘we could give every American worker’ & 20 to 30 per cent pay increase simply by forcing government to reconvert to normal peacetime standards—and cutting out the shameful, almost criminal waste of people’s earnings by their public representatives.’ He revealed that non war spending in September of this year hit a new all time monthly high of nearly one and a quarter billion dollars. “The real cause of the strike epidemic in America,’’ he said, “is that labor's gains have been hijacked by government buccaneers and bureaucrats—and management.profits have been pirated too in exactly the same manner by the same gang of political spenders.”’ Pointing out that pay and salary raises gained by millions of Amerirecent —years —have than offset by soaring and that “there business left in America in which the government does ‘been more any not take out more of the till tham . the boss.” “American workers simply aren’t seems to come out on top in a labor . dispute today neither labor nor management wins in the showdown for . ;: ; the house percentage runs against . . . . : ‘them just as it does in a gambling game-and-both--losesafair return on their production. “The workers of America should ‘be on strike for higher wages—but they. should not be on strike against their employers. They should be on strike against paying exhorbitant tribute to an extravagant government. And. management should be striking with them.”’ Kelly warned that the recent five billion dollar tax reduction voted by congress hasn’t been accomipanied by any corresponding reduction in general government overhead—and@ will ‘be meaningless unless costs are Penecally cut too.
