The voters should remember that every one of the so-called Democratic candidates, terson and Downey are backed 100 pen,cent by the various organizations of the CIO in California. They should rémember that behind the scenes Harry Bridges, whose activity in San Francisco has reduced exports and imports of that great port by 50 per cent, is behind those three candidates 100 per cent. They should remember that the great rubber manufacturing city of Akron, Ohio, where the CIO wreckers were permitted to work their will, has suffered a reduction in employment «of 50,000 workers. Where once 75,000 were employed there, only 25,000 are now employed. Even if voters in Nevada County do not altogether approve of the present state administration, even if they feel that there are faults in our state government that should have been corrected, it would seem to this writer they should still hesitate to turn the state administration over to men who would owe their election to the support of the CIO and Harry Bridge® On. the positive side of the argument for Governor Merriam there are these things to be said in his favor: He has balanced the budget and kept our ship of state on an eyen keel in extremely troublesome times. He has refused 'to be bullied or badgered into favoring one labor faction against another. He has met. the “direct action” of communistic groups with the direct enforcement of the law whenever it devolved upon him to do so. This is something the yellow-bellied governors icf Ohio and Michigan, notably failed to do. Of his administration of social welfare-and relief, Miss Ruth Turner, now on the State Welfare Board, a registered Democrat states: ‘He has appointed Mr. Archibald Young, a’ Democrat of Pasadéna, chairman of the state board, a man in whom everyone ait all conversant with the state’s social problems has the utmost confidence. Governor Merriam has strictly adhered to the principal of no political interference with the administration of social welfare measures. Indeed the entire administration of Governor Merriam has peen non-partisan in the sense that he thas always placed the welfare of California first in whatever administrative act he may have been called upon to perform. If the argument for retaining Governor Merriam in office fails to convince, then we ask the reader to answer these questions: here presented Do you believe that Culbert L. Olson, who was chairman of ‘Upton Sinclair’s Epic campaign in 1934 and who publicly swallowed the entire Productionfor-use program hook, line and sinker, thas repenited his ways mow that he has become Candidate Olson? “Tf so, do you know that in both the 1935 and 1937 legislative sessions he persistently fought to foist the whole ruinous sclieme on the staite even to the extent of holding up appropriation bills thereby threatening to halt all the vital functions of government. ~—that he endeavored to incorporate Production-for-Use in the national Democratic platform, : —that he still advocates-it under the thinly disguised names of “cooperative self-help’? and “eooperative farming,” which would put the state into direct competition with industry and agriculture, —that in his primary campaign he reiterated his adherence to the 1934 Epic platform? Four years ago, Olson anti‘cipated that the then existing $30,000,000 deficit would mount to -$130,000,000. Today there is no deficit. = Would you exchange an administration that has brought the state out of the red into the black for a mess of ill-conceived, half-baked, visionary promises?

Chester Scheemer ‘was chairman of the day. Mr. Martin gave an illustrated lecture on swimming and diving. When vented the Australian crawl in 1910 a new impetus was given to swimming, and lalter to diving, as a eo Mr. Martin said. Prior to that time swimming was regarded as good exercise, but speed and grace were not specially sought. Much of the swimming was on the side and“was slow. This method is still taught because it is’ needed in life saving. In the old fashioned methods, the head was kept above water for both inhaling and exhaling, the knees were bent, and’ there (was much waste motion. The Australian crawl brought stream lining to swimming, and speed in the water became a definite goal. Mr. Martin illustrated his lecture with motion pictures taken of several of the Olympic swimming winners. The pictures were taken in the beautiful pool of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. Diving in which physical grace is the quality upon which all diving competition is judged, was also beautifully illustrated by feats of outstanding athletes in the film shown by Mr. Martin.

SPROUL AGAINST BERKELEY, Oct. 27.—Strongly urging the defeat of the so-called State Humane Pound Act, President Robert Gordon Sproul of the Univerrsity of California has written the California Society for the Promotion of Medical Research, terming the proposed act a definite and continuing obstacle to the conservation and increase of the minds and bodies of the people of the state. President Sproul said: “It is my hope that the efforts of the California Society for the Promotion of Medical Research to make public the dangers of the proposed State Humane Pound Act will lead to its overwhelming defeat by the voters of California. — “Tt is obvious that the passage of this bill will imcrease the cost of necessary disease prevention and control by. authorized research centers. At a ‘time when the tax burden for public welfare activities is a real problem to ithe average citizen this fact cannot be dismissed too lightly. But adding unnecessary costs to health protection is only one of many faults in the provisions of the proposed pound law. “The real objection to the bill is that it attempts to enact antivivisecition legislation which the people and the legislature have already refused to accept, by concealing its real purpose under a cloak of sentiment. Every dog owner, including myself, is ready to do everything to protect these friends of mankind from needless exploitation. But» the proposed bill appears to be less concerned with the protection of dogs than it is with handicapping medical progress.’”’: NEVADA CITY DELEGATION ENJOYS BUCK STEW Fred Garrison, highway superintendent and Mrs. Garrison were host of the Peach Bowl chapter of state employees association in Marysville their families were present for the delicious dinner and dance.
