The Nugget is delivered to your home twice a week for only 30 cents per month { } { ‘ “God grants liberty only to those who love it, ind are ready to guard and defend it.” — Daniel WebsterNevada City Nugget COVERS RICHEST GOLD AREA IN CALIFORNIA This rrie paper gives you complete coverage of all local happenings. If you want to read about your nds, your neighbors, read The Nugget. ‘Vol. 16. oes eo The County Seat Paper NEVADA CITY: CALIFO ORNIA he Gold Contes THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, : 942.. 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 All these photographs and utterances of the “me und Gott’’ order are merely delusions of grandeur, of 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. (No man sick of the smallpox would wish to be exposed to whooping cough. 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.” “e: 4s ’ Without Children army during November. Under 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 this relationship began in California, born unions {Anyone wishing his status however will be the same as that of a single man. borne in mind, however, that the} Selective Service. board can exercise induc-. ™ involves unusual hardship. . tion 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. which have never yet been explored. the It should be. Nevada County Married Men Are Slated For Army Induction During November, « The Nevada County Selective Service Beard announces that processing of married men, without dependent children, will begin next week. These men will be inducted into the recent enactment of Congress the wives of such men will receive an allotment of $22 minimum from the pay of their husbands in the army, to which the government contributes $28, a total of $50.

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 for an Office of Defense Transportation ‘‘certificate of war necessity.” Sleeman, acting chairman of the farm transportation committee of the count USDA war board, said a corps of workers has been trained to assist farmers and other truckers engaged in the hauling of farm goods to complete the ODT application forms Tduring a three day registration period October 22, 23 and 24. ‘Registration headquarters have been established in Grass Valley at the, NID office, and will be open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 9am: ctob:peum., Sleeman explained that the owner of every registered commercial vehicle supposedly has been mailéd an application from ODT headquarters in Detroit M;ich.
