At a time when the people are thinking of national defense and the future welfare of their country, the health and protection of our youth and future leaders is of paramount importance. The lcalth of a nation is its first line of defense. Tuberculosis remains the most serious health menace: today. It kills more_young people between the ages of 5 and 40 than any other«disease. Yet it can be controlled and eradicated. Between now and Christmas Day, through the sale . of Christmas Seals, the Nevada County Tuberculosis association must raise sufficient funds to finance its work for another "year. This work is not the responsibility. of the association alone; the reponsibility is shared by every man and woman in this county. ° : This campaign should require no publicizing to win for it general and immediate support. For the past 34 years the Christmas seals have been sold to finance local, state and na-' tional activities to fight tubercuuosis. The work which has been accomplished requires no additional or repeated praise in these columns. It is our privilege to buy Christmas seals andi to use them By purchasing seals and using them we are helping to protec our homes and those of our neighbors from tuberculosis. A Daughter of France Last week, confirming the humiliating new tie-up with France’s conquerors, the Petain-Laval government declared . that “the choice has now been made, and every Frenchman . must accept it,"” and warned against “‘insidious rumors” from’ England which would place obstacles before the new policy. . Last week, too, a reply to that government, written by a French woman who dared not sign her name, was printed in _ Time magazine. “Like so many others,’’ she wrote, “I have lived since June 17 in grief and indignation . . The same men who could not forstall anything. assume for themselves the honor of restoring France according to new formulas which they ap, ply with the aid of our defeat. To this shame is added that of daily hearing the voice of the radio deride the courage, loyalty and dignity of the English in the forefront of the battle, who cover themselves with glory by resisting alone, and so manv betrayals. To the insults of wicked Frenchmen, the British answer with words of comfort and with acts which rekindle the hope of the other French people of France, of the other, French people who are so much more numerous than one suspects—all of whom listen to the broadcasts of the BBC as if, near a wide open window where pure air enters. We need to hear all these voices so warm, so confident, so familiar. Eng-. lish friends, Frenchmen in England, or the United States, ! speak to us, keep on speaking to us! Our confidence.in you is enormous. It is a woman with white hair who writes to you— . France will not die. Help her, we beg you! Vive le General de . Gaulle; Vive la France! An eloquent, impassioned daughter of France has not only flung defiance into the teeth of her country’s despoilers . and the taunt of their shame into the faces of base leaders— she has done more than any statesman to assure the Englishspeaking world that the France of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity is but prostrate, and will live again.—Contributed. . . i . Peta False igi tees The country’s self-appointed reformers have been tell-. ing us that advertising raises the cost of living. Let’s see. Let’s take an example that everybody is familiar with. Cast your mind back to what you knew or what your parents knew of the automobile of the first few years of the century. Then a big, heavy, unreliable gas eater, could be bought, without top. windshield, horn or spare tire. for from $2,000 to $6,000. Few people bought this expensive luxury. But automobile makers saw a vision, a nation on wheels. They advertised persistently. More people bought. As production went up, the cost to make each car came down: Part of the saving was put into improvement. Part went into continued advertising. Part went to the public in lower prices. Again more people bought these better cars for less money. _. And so it went, year after year. Continued advertising. production and value up, cost and price down, until today you buy an infinitely better, more efficient car, complete, for less than half of the lowest price of a few years ago. ° The same is true of the refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, the washing machine, oil burner, radio, electric light bulb; of packaged foods, clothes, and many another product that will ‘come to your mind as you think this over.

Olson two years ago to an estimated $17,800,000. Taking the last half of the biennium alone (the present fiscal year, which ends next June 30) the department of finance expects ito show an-actual surplus of about $2,500,000. A deficit of $20,200,000 durin! the last fiscal year will absorb the surplus, however, leaving the bien-" nium as a whole still far in the red. Also to be reckoned with at some future date as a carryover deficit of more itthan $38,000,000 accumulated over the last ten years. The surplus indicated for the current year was brought about ‘by a $6,215,00 drop in-relief costs, as! compared with 1939 estimates of Governor Olson, together with an in-: crease of $13,500,000 in revenues over budget estimates. Most of the credit for cutting the! relief cost belongs with the legislature rather than the defense program because of new restrictions on relief ; budgets and eligibility enacted by the lowmakers this year; On the oth. er hand a good share of the revenue . increase is probably traceable to the business improvement. ‘DR.

Perhaps the best indication of the business pickup is an 11 per cent increase in retail trade during the first six months of this year as compared with the same period in 1939. The comparison is made on the basis of state sales tax returns. Officials of the department of finance pointed out that improved retail trade means.that the improved conditions are pretty well distributed over the population and reflect increased employment and wages. Other indices show similar gains for business, industry and agriculture. For instance, California farm income, as estimated by the U. S. department: of agriculture, was 11 per cent higher during the first seven months of 1940 than during the same period last year. Factory employment was up 17.9 and payrolls 21 per cent for the first nine months Nation’s business, has helped mass selling and made possible mass production, which cuts the cost and brings the price . “first time we have had a dictatorMENT OF COUNTY ct THINKING OUT LOUD (Continned from Page One) ers, and knowing from bitter experience that prices of living are bound to rise, demands a_ larger share of the gross earnings. We see before us, then, a brief hectic prosperity due to defense preparations, if: not war, in which a unified effort for preparedness may emerge as a result of federal compulsion. But that too, has a corrolary — price fixing. This expedient is already much dissussed in Washington. In fact:in a limited amateurish way the 'president has already practiced price control. It will be recalled that he once remarked that the price of copper was too high and immediately the price subsided. Whether or not the copper price was too high we don’t know. But the president thought it was, and the price went down. We-may therefore, expect com.pulsory arbitration of differences between workers and employers, and price fixing at the discretion of federal authority. This if you please, will be dictatorship. We have always had dictatorship in war time, but this will be another (precedent making adventure for the Naw Deal. (For it will be the ship in times of peace.
