In the United States alone 400,000 persons perished of influenza in, the post-war year. America’s largest youth organization, the Junior Red _ Cross, with 8,500,000 members is engaged now in preparing 60,000 Christmas gifts for evacuated children in all the war-torn countries.

Riggs, 70, of You Bet, in the Nevada Coun: ty Hospital Friday. Riggs died from injuries suffered Thursday night when the car driven by Walf ran into a bank on the new highway near the Tony Petri home at Colfax, throwing Riggs through the windshield. Riggs was severely cut on the neck, throat, and the back of the head. An autopsy performed by Dr. W. W. Reed at the Holmes Funeral Home in Nevada City revealed he died of shock and hemorrhage. Charged With Homicide Highway Patrolman Mel Shearer placed young Wolfe under arrest on a charge of.drunken driving. Following the death of Riggs the charze was changed to negligent homicide. Wolfe is reported to have admitted to. District. Attorney Lowell i Sparks of Placer County he was drunk when the accident occurred. He told the authorities he and Riggs had left You Bet Thursday night} and had purchased a case of beer at! a beer parlor east of Colfax. He said . he had passed out as the car was’! travelling over the Colfax overhead . near the scene of the accident. __ Riggs is an uncle of Charles a brother of Mrs. John Sanders’ of Merced. : Partially Blind who had been patially blind had been drawing state aid for the blind. He was a native and life long resident of the You Bet area. . Wolfe was one of several You Bet youths recently held in the county jail on suspicion of burglary.

BANK EMPLOYEE Riggs, for years, Vernon Rose, bookkeeper at the Nevada City Branch of the Bank of America for the past several months, has been transferred to Santa Rosa, where he was to begin work in the leave here.

William “Tex” Straw illustrates again the significance of a straw in the wind. As may be perceived, he is gazing earnestly at the picture of the future Virst Lady as she steps from her car.

Volunteers, now organizing in all parts of California among boys and girls under 21 years of age, is being formed here under the auspices of the Willkie For President Headquarters at 504 Broad Strect, It is reported Nevada City youngsters are displaying as much enthusiasm for Willkie as their elders, i S WHY I AM FOR WENDELL WILLKIE By FRANK N. BELGRADO, JR. Past National Commander American Legion, State Chairman Veterans’ Division Willkie-McNary Campaign. Because he is real all-American. And here are his qualifications for that team. He loved America enough to fight for it. and if necessary tc it, in 1917-1918. He enlisted one day after his country entered the World War and through sheer merit, not through pull or family name, rose to command a field artillery battery in France. When the war was over he did not stop fighting. He enlisted for life . in the peace time. service of his! country as a working member of The American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Opportunity did not come knocking at the door of youth in those dark post-war reconstruction days when he was mustered out of the service. But he knew that in free America opportunity always has a ready welcome for those who have grit and will to seek for it, So went out to meet opvortunity—and found it. : He had no great family name or wealth to open_doors for him. He opened them himself and carved his own niche in life. Because he started from total scratch and travelled the hard road to the top, he knows the problems of business and industry, upon which the men and women of America under any administration sooner or later must depend for jobs. By the same token he knows where improvements can and should be made. Because he earned everything he has, and knows what it means to meet a payroll, he understands the value of a dollar—and the importance of sound credit, whether it be the government’s or that of a mere}. business house. He thas a heart, and a genuine love for his fellow men. He gave freely of his time and talent helping his men out of scrapes during that dread let-down period between the end of the bloodshed and the slow return to civilian life. In the years after, his help was ever available without cost to those thousands of veterans who needed legal help straightening out service records, And in the exhilaration of success, never forgot his humble origin or those he passed on the way up. I have never heard anone, even in the heat of bitter political campaign, accuse ‘him of a single provable dishonest or dishonorable act. As a soldier he saw war—real war . —total war. Having seen it he wants no more of it. So he can be relied upon to exhaust every decent means to keep war from America’s shores . and restore peace abroad. As a sodier he also knows dread price’ of national ices ness—and as a successful business executive he knows ‘how to get the’ strongest national defense in the least possible time at the lowest feasible cost to the taxpayer. And now, other national crisis, rut aside his high place in the business world and give himself again to the duty and grave responsibility , of defending America against moral! and economic collapse from within . and military attack from without. These are the reasons why I am for Wendell Willkie for President of the United States—and his qualifications to be called all-American.

Because of repeated acts of ipetty theft and reports of prowl. ers about the city, Chief of Police Max Solaro today urged the resi. dents of Nevada Cit to lock their doors when away from home.

Graham stated he saw Price driving his automobile in an erratic manner up Broad -Street. Graham brought his car to a stop but his caution was of no avail for the onchine, damaging one side.
