official beginning of the division at
Camp Beale. :
The throngs of civilians, hundreds
from Nevada City and Grass Valley,
stilled as the national colors were
borne on the field for presentation
by the commanding general to the
individual regiments and battalions.
The general said that part of the
ceremony ‘‘makes the 13th Division
a living organization, gives it its
soul.’’
At the close of General Wogan’s
charge, armed color guards received
the banners from their commanding
general. The military band swung
into the ‘opening bars of the national
anthem and the color guards bore
the flags to the regiments and battalions waiting to receive them on

The review of the troops by General Wogan and his staff followed immediately and as the colors of each
regiment passed the reviewing stand,
the general’s color guard dipped the
red and green divisional banner and
the general’s twin starred red banner in salute.
General Wogan, in taking command of the division, said:

AND WHAT ro Do ABOUT IT
It’s maddening when a fuse blows out. When this happens, however,
it is a warning that some appliance may have overloaded a circuit, or
there may be a loose connection causing a “short.” You can save time
by replacing fuses yourself. It is easy to do this and you help us save
tires on service cars that are needed to help maintain the delivery of
power to war industries. Ask for your copy of P. G. and E. booklet
“Guide to Gas and Electric Service” that tells what to do when the
lights go out. It is available FREE at any company office.

Construction indicates the craft
was truly a suicide ship. It had no
provisions.forrecharging the batteries and had a cruising range of not
more than 150 miles submerged.
“The sub never could have been expected to return to its mother ship,”’
‘Navy officers said, ‘leaving nothing
for the crew to do except to blow up
the craft with a detonation charge

SCORES ATTEND:
WEAVER RITES —
Scores of residents of the communities of Nevada City and Grass
Valley attended the final rite Saturday for Walter Scott Weaver, director in the Hooper-Weaver Mortuary
firm.
Weaver, who served as secretary
and bookkeeper for the firm until
last February, died suddenly of a
heart attack at hishome in Grass
Valley Thursday night.
«The deceased retired as a ,shoemaker in GrassValley several years
ago. Rey. Carl Tamblyn of Marysville
officiated at the funeral rites. Burial was in the Masonic Cemetery.
Weaver leaves his wife, a daughter
Miss Birdie Weaver and a son, Walter Leon Weaver.
With gas rationing just around the
corner there’s considerable consolation in the thought that the blowhard who used to boast about getting fifty miles per gallon with his

prove it. .

cheer the socalled scorched eartn
tactics, apparently not realizing that
what we destroy we lose. In this war,
where men, materials and production play such a vital part on the
field of battle, we cannot afford. to
lose; we cannot win by-losing. I repeat, we have much to do and little
time in which to do it. Let us be Americans in the sense of free men so
proud of freedom that we have the
guts to do the things that are right
instead of the things that are easy.’’
