Looking into the future igs uaual-;
ty one of the-most futile of human
endeavors, yet we have known those
who were able to weigh present conditions, give each factor an appro-h
priate valuation, hit bullseyes over
the horizon of the future, with remarkable accuracy.
We are not willing to set a date
for the time when the great New
Meal depression or deflation is toming. It may come after the Republicans have been in power in Washington for a year or so, and in runming down and tabulating the huge
wastes of the gigantic bureaucracy,
built up during the ‘Naw Deal regime for vote getting purposes in the
main, and of course, by the exigencies
ef winning the greatest war~ the
planet has experienced, have creatad
a profund distrust in the popular
mind of the country’s economic stability.
But when it does come we fee]
that Nevada County along with every
other gold producing: region, will
bounce right into the headlines, with.
@ great many men employed who are
mow receiving, better wages in other
vocations. This has been the history
of Nevada County and we are willing to gamble that this Will be the.

HUGE PARTY TO
CELEBRATE FLKS.
ATTH BIRTH, AY
two-city community here that we .
believe, will exceed population figures of the past by some thousand:
in the meantime the shambers of}
ecommerce of Grass Valley and No.
Wada City are striving to build up .
this area into an attractive place for
;
residence of some of the. thousands
who have come to California during
the exodus from east to west of the
‘war years, and the continuing influx
of people seeking homes in California.
This effort of the chambers’ of
*eommerce is directed along two lines, First to. strive for such improvements as better sewer systems and
roads and safer water supply, by enflarging the city limits and extendv ing the advantages of health, police
and fire ordinances to outlying districts, and second by adverttising thig
region’s scenic splendor, its great
sports and recreational advantages, .
winter or summer, and natural
hhealthfulness of the climate and loeation.
That this endeavor is beginning
to bear good fruit is evident in the
fact that there are no vacant homes
in Nevada County, at least homes
that are fit to live in, and that hundreds of new families have chosen
‘to make Grass Valley, Nevada City
and environs their residence. They
have in most instances purchased
their homes and are putting their
faith and doHars in Nevada County’s future.
We are concerned with the dewelopment of airports in Grass Valfey and Nevada City which will fill
the requirements of aerial traffic,
Passenger and freight, in the years
*o come. We are convinced that durfing the next twenty years a very
Jarge number of private planeg will
fhe purchased and used much as motor cars now are. Add to this the
increasing number of commercial
airlines, performing many of the
services that railroad truck and bus
fines now perform, and it is easy to
forecast the tremendous advantage
adequate airports will be to the two}
ities.
We recall that automobiles were a
(Nong time, a dozeh years or more,
eoming into popular use. In this
era, of rapid traffic and engineerfing advance, we do not believe common use of planes will be so long
delayed. Old timers recall with some
‘nostalgla the advent of the* narrow
guage railroad to this region. They
will recall the big lift the railroad
gave to mining, farming and other
-industries. In our opinion adequate
airports relatively will give this area
a mpch greater boost. Planes will

The two groups have made hundreds of appearances in hospitals,
bond rallies and USO shows. Their
work continues as a regular unit
with the musical therapy program in
Veterans Hospitals. Coming from San
Mateo, they were the recent hit of
the Bay Meadows Fiesta.
Well known local entertainers who
will contribute to the huge party to
commemorate the 47th birthday of
the local Elks will be Mrs. Plorence

‘acts. Jerry Austin, wizard of the

We mention airports forthe reason that we think they will be a de‘cided factor in the future prosperity

there are thousands of people who
will prefer to live in rural communities, such as Grass Valley and Nevada City, provided only their have

SETH MILLINGTON
the
SEN. KNOWLAND
Swinging hard at his own Democratic party, Seth Millington, former Assemblyman of Gridley, former
State Commander of the American
Legion, yesterday charged in a state
wide radio broadcast, ‘that the bucrats of President Truman’s administration don’t believe that California is capable of solving its own
problems with regard to electing its
own represetnatives to the halls of
congress.
*““We have been almost submerged
in a veritable flood of out of state
politicians who have come here to
tell us how to vote,” Millington said
“and I don’t like the idea of a bunch
of eastern politicians coming out
here to try and get a man into office who beyond any question of a
doubt will get the kind of votes that
will promote them in their bureaueratic control of this nation.”
Stating that he was urging the return of United States Senator William F. Knowland, Millington said
he was speaking as a Democrat since
he cast his first vote in 1914, but as
an Amefican so far as the issues of
teh campaign are concrened.
“In this land of plenty,”’ Millington charged, “‘we have gone through
and are still in a period where, with:
plenty of money we can’t buy a-decent meal. Last Monday night I listened to the president state that on
Tuesday, October 15, all prices controls would go off meat.
“It is almost an insult,” he continued, “to offer to Americans this
character of relief from an intolerable condition right on the eve of
election and obviously for the sole

Ida Magonigal.

east of Truckee, rolling several
hundred feet onto the Southern Paeific Tracks, Sheriff Carl J. Tobiassen yesterday said he had concluded
the bullet wound found on the bedy

rifle in car, while it was rolling
down the bank.
First report had it that a 3030
