No. 89. the’ County Seat Paper _ BE THANKFUL WAR'S END IS INSIGHT By RALPH H. TAYLOR There was hope in high official] quarters, just a short time ago, that we could celebrate a double Armistice Day this year—commemorating not only the end of World War I, Dut the end of the European phase of World War II as well. The present stubborn resistance of ‘Nazi troops, even though the war is now being fought on German territory, apparently has shattered such hopes, but the outlook, nonetheless js not unpromising. Certainly, with Thanksgiving Day. not far distant, there is real reason this year to give thanks on Armistice Day—for the glorious fact that the end is in sight, even though it is not here. , And certainly we at home, no matter how serious our problems may be, have reason to be -thankful— that we have not been ravaged as other lands, that our country is still intact, and that we can still till our fields without fear of being cut down by enemy planes overhead. Tt is not discounting: the seriousmess of the present and post war problems which confront us to recognize that we have been signally blessed of all the great nations on earth. Robot bombs’ have not scorched our earth, nod destroyed our cities. Enémy ships have not bombarded us, nor*enemy planes bombed us. Of all.the big nations of the ciyilized world,.we alone’ have been gpared war's devastation. To ‘be-sure, our economy has been disrupted; we have paid and paid and paid for bureaucratic excesses, and for the cost of the war now being waged by our troops against our enemies. **But heréat-home; we have not eaten K-rations; we’ have not slept in slit trenches, praying that the bombs or machine gun fire would miss us. We have been spared that. And on this Armistice Day—and on the Thanksgiving day which ‘foldows—every farmer, every merchant, every lawyer and ‘business man whould not only render. thanks to God but should pay homage in his heart to the American boys who have kept us safe and guaranteed our security from our enemies. So that we might escape the devastation of war, tens of thousands of our youths have given. their lives. Tens of thousands of others have been crippled and maimed—-and millions have made sacrifices ‘beyond anything we can know. This Armistice Day—and on the Thankegiving . Day, too—let’s forget sacrafices we may have made. Let’s be humble—and grateful to. ‘the men who. are defending us. Let's thank God for America—and ‘for the American men who have defended our right’ to life, Mberty and! the pursuit of happiness. We owe “them a debt ye can never repay. It ts not enough, however, to be! png to the men and women in our anmed forces, nor simply, to. “fake acknowledgment of our. debt to them, We have a sacred obligation to get ready. for the day of their return—amd to do our. utmost to see that they come back to a. nation which ssill has a Maximum of politi“al freedom, and which will provide with work and opportanity. » oe this Ration is to escape another dreary Period of depression and. the Widespread unemployment after the war, the American people will have "to pull together to win the peace, as they have to win the war.

To. date, returns show that the state as.a whole, hag passed approximately the 80 per cent mark of ‘its $21,000,000 goal and that 15 counties report 100' per cent subscription. Of the 58 counties in the state, 27 are still below average and 16 are 65 per cent or better toward their goal. Urging increased efforts in this county in order that‘the drive closing November 10 shall not find it below its mark, Ralph T. Fisher, president, California War Chest, issued the following order of the day: _ ‘We must finish by November 10 ‘the date fixed by the president’s war relief control board for the closing of the campaign. Every county army must take its citadel— its 100 per cent. quota—by that date. This calls for speedy, timeing* the Bae of our fighting men overseas.”” QUAIL SEASON OPENS NOV. 15 Ih ‘SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9 — The entire state will be open to quail shooting on November 15 with the ion of Lassen, Inyo and Mono doantian In Lassen county quail shooting’ will only be permitted during the pheasant season—iNovember 26 to December 10—and in Inyo vember 26 and remain open through out the balance of the season to December 31. The bag limit on quail is 10: per day, 10. in. possession and 20 per calendar week. From reports of. wardens of the State Division of Fish and Game it is judged that the opening of the quail ‘season will be from good to poor.

The Democrats frankly admit that their idea of an economy bloc to heckle the governor on his budget 4nd spending proposals is not original, but was appropriated from the Republicans who used it quite efféctively against ex-Governor Olson. Privately the Bourbon chieftains also are willing to admit that they are not so interested in saving the taxPayers’ money as they are in laying the ‘basis for attacks on Gov. Warren two years hence, when it is expected he will be a canddiate for reelection. The Democratic strategy when the 1945 legislative session gets under way, calls for continuous attacks on Gov. Warvren’s financial program, with comparisons of Warren’s expénditures during his tirst two--yeara in office with Olson’s record during his. final two years as governor.

MUSCARDINI ADDS PUNCH TO PLANE ROCKETS AN ATR BASE COMMAND DEPOT IN BNGLAND—Rocket firing Thunderbolts swooping low to blast German tanks, pillboxes, and supply trains pack a personal punch from Sergeant William S. Musceardini of Nevada City. After he pioneered installation of the rocket apparatus on the first -P47 fighters to carry the new weapon, he flew to an advanced base in France to train ground crews there to carry on the job. Captured Nazi prisoners describe the rocket attacks as among the most terrifying iu the allied bag of tricks.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 6—One of the first successful applications of the scientific principles of genetics to flower breeding has produced a tetraploid carnation somewhat larger and more heavily textured than ordinary varieties, accordia# %® Dict Gustay Mehlquist, assistant professor of floriculture on the Los Angeles campus of the University of California. : The new carnation is the result of hybridization ‘between the ordinary carnation and the Chinese pink. Carmations ordinarily lave a genteic structure of 30 chromosomes, while Chinese pinks have 60.
