Thinking Out Loud iene We think that the most amazing feature of the war to all Americans on Main Street, is the utter abandonment of those principles of common honesty which for centuries have governed the great majority of human beings around the world. We believe that this double dealing and calculated deeeit long before war was declared is especially revolting to all Anglo-Saxons, except to those confined in various institutions of correction and cure. A government, such as that of Japan which deliberately planned the blow at Pearl Harbor while important statesmen of the island empire diligently. talked peace in Washington. The German government assuring the peoples of Holland and Gelgium that it had no intention of invasion, while its military chiefs mustered men and arms to invade. It is difficult to imagine. the German people pergovernment so to smirch the national honor. It is easier to think of the Japanese approving such action, because as a people they have never recognized Christian standards. But even with that, it would seem as if any people would feel the shame of striking another and a peaceful people in the back. . The Christian standards are higher, of course, in those nations which for some centuries have tried, to approach Christian ideals. We think there is much more chance of weaning the German people from the bloody doctrine of might makes right, than the Japanese. Whether in ‘either case it can be done without regular twenty five year war drubbing or not, time coy ean tell. One thing seems certain, ,if we wish to e8tablish a peace of any length in time, we shall not absolve either: the German or Japanese people of war guilt. Mad as their military leaders were, and are, the people themselves acquies. ced in the thousand burtalities, the murder of millions of Jews, Poles, Checko-Slavs, and the savage “iooting of thousands of hostages, and the plundering of women “and children of their food. When Germany and Japan come to trial, Jet us not wreak vengeance, but Jet us do those things which will deter a new generation from the same atrocities. We hear a lot of loose _ talk, read. many an article on how to make the punishment = fit crime. The truth is, of course, our enemies do not. et know they have committed crimes. Only «” their leadérs and those immediately involved in multiform sadism know their own: depravity. It is not in us,the Anglo Saxons to attempt the destruction of an entire race or nation, as the Germans have attempted with the Jews and’ Poles. ‘At most we shall be able probably 40 bring to trial and punishment only a few score or a few hundred of those wretches most directly responsible. ; We sincerely believe that when the war is done the German and Japanese armies should be disarmed, but that most of their organdation should be retained and that nhey should'be put to the work of reconstruction in all ‘those counaries they have overrun. By keep‘ing 4,000,000 young males at this work for a decade, or longer, much of the mischief they have done could be undone. It will be objected of course that this is forced labor construction would be actually, slaves of the “victorious allies, but so be it.

In 1897 she was married to Henry Schroeder, of the pioneer family who owned and operated the Rough and (Ready Hotel for many years during the Gold Rush.

The original excess was approximately 715,000,000 cans. Only 15,0005000 cans remain today. That figure looks large in ‘the aggregate, but actually is only one ninth of a can per person the OPA says. Second, the OPA is counting upon the volunteer assistance of school teachers .and other public spirited people to register the 130,000,090 applicants for War Ration Book Four. These non paid workers would have to give up much valuable time to this work of tailoring War Book Four.

TAYLOR The California Fruit Growers Exchange, the state’s biggest farm coop, and one of the biggest in the ‘world, is currently celebrating its ‘50th anniversary—and the story: of its phenomenal growth and developiment over half a century affords a graphic illustration of the fact that cooperative marketing pays splendid dividends.

The review in which the armoraiders will pass before their commanding general; Maj. Gen. John B. Wogan, is but one of a number of change started at a time when the state’s citrus shipments approximat-. ed 5,000 cars a year. Today, 50 years . later, current shipments are well; over 100,000 cars annually—and the! name Sunkist has become one of the most famous trade names in world markets. : i° In view of over production and . marketing problems of recent. years, not alone in the citrus industry, but in many branches of agriculture, it is interesting to turn back the pages to 1893 and learn that the Exchange was formed by growers who had be;come alarmed at the rapid increase ee citurus plantings—and who were ifaced with demoralized markets as a iresult of the production of 5,000 cars Of fruit. 4 . then staggering figure of 5,000 cars, {the early growers, unfamiliar with ‘marketing methods and having no} fruit that could be absorbed in any! particular market, often glutited one. . market with too heavy shipments, ! er markets. The farmers who banded together in 1893 to form the Southern Cali. fornia Fruit Exchange-——forerunner jof the present organizaiion—had little idea of the giant industry that was in the making, but they were determined to solve their problem by setting up an organization. which would enable them to keep advised of marketing. conditions in all parts of the country, so that they would be able to market their crops,on an orderly basis. ‘How well they succeeded is best attested by the fact that California’s largest agricultural crop is now citrus, with the total tree crop value last year estimalted at $103,000,000 —and with the Exchange handling roughly 75 per cent of all oranges, lemons and grapefruit produced in California and: Arizona. Corporal. Gordon Phillips Weds Miss Arcy Allen (Corporal Gordon Vihlere Phillips of Camp Beale, and Miss Arcy Allen of Grass Valley, were married at a pretty ceremony in the garden of the Allen home on French Avenue, Grass Valley, Sunday afternoon by Rev. Mark Pike. The bride was. attended by Mrs. Lena Price, and the best man was David Allen, brother of the bride. After the wedding dinner and reception the couple left for a honeymoon in Oregon. The corporal has a 40 day furlough. The bride is a civilian employee at Camp Beale.

The display area is adjacent to Division Headquarters, at 14th and C streets. Examples of the machines in which an armored division surges forward, a hard-hitting, sharp eyed self-contained battle unit, the vehicles include: The famous ‘‘peep,”’ or quarter-ton truck; a signal truck, nerve center of communications; decontamination truck, where the effects of enemy gas attack could be quickly’ remedied; light and medium tanks; gun carriages, giving many visitors their first good look at self-propelled artillery, which has proved of singular value in the present war; carryall truck; 10 ton wrecker; 2 h-2 ton cargo truck; air compressor truck and angle dozer tractor, command and reconnaissance car, small arms repair truck, and ambulance and truck hospital unit. Hundreds of Black Cats will compete for generous prizes in the division field meet. The purely military events should demonstrate the results of the intensive schooling in the grim business of war the troops have received since the activation of the 18th. Included are contests between the crack gun crews of all units, involying the disassem'blyy and reassembly of machine guns; cobining that operation with swift<movement over simulated enemy terrain, and _ the competitive handling of such weapons as the mortar, the anti-tank gun, and the famed M-1 rifle.

June was the last month before the increase in maximum aid from $40 to $50 and other liberalizations in old age assistance ‘by the legislature went into effect. . Average aid per person went from $36.37 for June to $46.31 in August, . with total cost to the federal, state ‘and county governments jumping from $18,151 for June to $23, 664 for August. The county share of the cost went down from $4,529 for June to $2 270 for August, while the state’s share skyrocketed from $4,547 to: $11,407 and the federal government’s share went from $9,075 to $9,987. Over the state as a whole the number of people receiving old age’ ‘assistance increased just under 2,000. or about 1.3 per cent, going from 151,422 for June to 153,412 for August, the association found. Average aid throughout the state increased from $37.60 for June to $47,29 ‘for August, Total cost of old age for June was $5,693,764 and for August it amounted to $7,2'53,788. Cost of the counties was $1,420,760 for June and $706,237 for August. State costs more than doubled, going from $1,426,749 for June to $3,541,449 for August, while the cost to the federal government went up from $2,846,\25'5 for June to $3,006,102 for Au-gust. The 25 per cent increase in maximum aid allowed, together with the looser requirements that relatives provide for their old folks, has already resulted in a 27 per cent increase in the total amount of aid extended, the association stated, pointing out that while county share of such aid has been cut about in half, the cost to the state has’ gone up 148 per cent and to the federal government 6 per cent.

Today, 50 years . later, current shipments are well; over 100,000 cars annually—and the! name Sunkist has become one of the most famous trade names in world markets. : i° In view of over production and . marketing problems of recent. years, not alone in the citrus industry, but in many branches of agriculture, it is interesting to turn back the pages to 1893 and learn that the Exchange was formed by growers who had be;come alarmed at the rapid increase ee citurus plantings—and who were ifaced with demoralized markets as a iresult of the production of 5,000 cars Of fruit. 4 . then staggering figure of 5,000 cars, {the early growers, unfamiliar with ‘marketing methods and having no} fruit that could be absorbed in any! particular market, often glutited one. . market with too heavy shipments, ! er markets. The farmers who banded together in 1893 to form the Southern Cali. fornia Fruit Exchange-——forerunner jof the present organizaiion—had little idea of the giant industry that was in the making, but they were determined to solve their problem by setting up an organization. which would enable them to keep advised of marketing. conditions in all parts of the country, so that they would be able to market their crops,on an orderly basis. ‘How well they succeeded is best attested by the fact that California’s largest agricultural crop is now citrus, with the total tree crop value last year estimalted at $103,000,000 —and with the Exchange handling roughly 75 per cent of all oranges, lemons and grapefruit produced in California and: Arizona.
