pope Thinking
Out Loud
By H. M. L.
Two pictures arrived in this
office last week for publication in
the Nugget. They were not published ‘because we believed them
misleading. The pictures were of
Governor Olson who accompanied
President’ Roosevelt for a few
miles during his tour of California war plants. The pictures were
of course taken with Governor Olson well in the foreground with
the caption reading:-.‘‘Olson and
Roosevelt inspecting defense
-plants.’’.But the president was not
‘one to share in? that.
really assisting Governor Olson to
inspect California war industries.
Olson went along for the ride and
—the photographs. The governor
knows his onions and we in California know the governor. Moreover the president, on his return
to Washington said how _ nice it
was to have taken this trip without talking politics with anyone, so
the association was just social,
nothing more. The president’s
words give the lie to the message
the photograph was intended to deliver to voters and to the press. .
However, to consolidate his position, as the generals sa nowadays,
Olson on last “Thursday evening
talked about ‘‘the president’s trip
with me.” This was not flattering
to the president, because the govis taking a trip whence no ernor
man returns jto office. The political outer darkness is closing
about him and the president is not

photographs and utterances of the

we had a sample when Olson from
Chicago long-distanced LieutenantGovernor Patterson and asked him
to resign so that he, Olson, could
take the nomination of vice-president to the United States. The
good thought behind that far telephone cry was that Olson did not
want to resign for the bigger job
and make Patterson governor of
California. We say “good thought”
because we think it was, at any
rate from the people’s standpoint.

which
Now comes George Creel, Demoerat and politician, who ‘had charge
of propaganda during the last war,
and writes to Earl Warren from
New York that his vote will go to
swell Warren’s majority in November. He writes:
“That your majority will be overwhelming is a certainty. tor
your record compels the support
of every citizen with proper regard for his state and his country. Even were it not backed up by
your specific pledges, your record
guarantees an honest and efficient
administration that will lift public
service high above partisanship,
cheap politics and personal ambition. It is equally a guarantee of
the team-play—the needed cooperation between the executive and
legislative branches—that will put
Jalifornia’s full strength behind
the armed effort of the nation.
“There is still another consideration that. moves me as it. must
move all who give any thought to
the future. Now that America’s
mighty war machine is hitting on
every cylinder, the defeat of the
evil Axis Powers is in sight. . The
readjustments of peace are bound
to present many difficulties, and
nothing is more imperative than
that these post-war problems he
handled by a man of proved ability,
and what is every bit as. important
by a man of proved judgment.
“T may add that your decision
to run as a non-partisan, pledged
to an absolutely non-political administration, confirms my high opinion of your patriotsim and good
‘sense. As President Roosevelt him‘self has made clear, both in public statements and by the inclusion of two Republicans in his cabinet, “politics as usual’ should and
must be adjourned until victory
stands assured.”

This announcement means
that the board has exhausted
its files of single men and of
men in Group 1, Classification: 3 A,
whose depéndents consist of collateral relatives, such as mothers, fathers, sisters, or brothers. While it is
true that defermentts in these*two
eatergories still exist, such defer-.
ments are due to. special circumstances in individual cases involving
undue hardship or vocations vital to
war work. Many men with collateral
dependents have been inducted, since
their dependents may now receive
allotments for. support often equal
to, and sometimes in excess of the
amounts registrants have contributed from their private employment.
Under the Selective Service regulations, children are defined as the
offspring of marriage or as legally
adopted. Foster children and stepchildren do not occupy the same
status in so far as the Selective Service law is concerned. For instance a
man who has married a widow with
children but has no ¢hildren of his
own living in the same home with
him, will be classified as in Group 2,
veonsiderable discretion when
of Class 3A, the same as that of a
. man who is married but is without
. children. In states in which common
\law marriages ‘are legal, as in Nei vada, children of such
. have the same status as those: born
lin wedlock. The father of such children registered in any other state,
such as California w,here such unions
are not legally recognized will still
be classified in Group 3, Classifica‘on 1 A, which defers him’ from
military service along with legally
married registrants until such time
as all men in this class are called. If

During November the local board’s
quota of inductees has been set at
more than 200 men. This is the highest for any one month since the Selective Service system was inaugurated. Approximately 750 men from
‘Nevada County have been iducted in
the armed forces, or have enlisted,
in the two years in which the system has now been in operation.
RUSTED PISTOL
TELLS OF EARLY
DAY TRAGEDY
Mute evidence of a human tragedy
was found by Leslie (Slim) Land a
day of two ago on Robinson’s Flat on
the old Emigrant trail 29 miles east
of Forest Hill. At this point about
10 feet off the trail and at an elevation of 7,000 feet, Land discovered
a circular barricade of small boulders. Lying almost in the center of
this circle was the barrel and mechanigsm of a heavy cap and ball pistol. The wooden stock had_ rotted
away. The iron barrel was corroded
with rust, but measurements revealed«the gun was still loaded. The barrel is 8 1-2 inches long and about 44
caliber.
Land believes that whoever erected that barricade of boulders died
there sometime in the early Fifities
when the Emigrant trail was iq use.
Somebody killed him before he was
able to fire. For-in those days when
all travelers went armed, no man
would have abandoned his arms*The
spot apparently had never been visited and stands on a little eminence
without vegetation on a cemented
gravel formation. Land states there
are still stretches of the old trail.

FARMERS ASKED
TO REGISTER
THEIR TRUCKS
Every Nevada County farmer who
operates a truck or drives a ‘‘pickup’’ has a job to do this week if he
expects to continue operation of the
vehicle after November 15.
That job is to file his application

‘Registration headquarters have
been established in Grass Valley at
the, NID office, and will be open

of every registered commercial vehicle supposedly has been mailéd an
application from ODT headquarters
in Detroit M;ich. In the event such
application was not « received, the
truck operator may obtain a request
for an application at the registration
headquarters.
