NEVADA CITY NUGGET MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1945 _ : Page Two ao Nevada City Nugget 305 Broad_Street.__ Phone_36. A Legal Newspaper, as *““fined by statute. Printed and Published at Nevada City. H. M. LEETE 2 ~ Editor and Fuv.---. . Published Semi-Weekly, Monday and !bursday . at Nevada City, California, and entered as Ma. matter of the second class in t)2 postoffice at Nevada City under Act of Coress, March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RA'LES + One year (In Advance) ..-.2...22.22.2.2---.2-. $3.00 One MONth 2.72 3 ae 30 cents = —y THE G. I—WORLD CHAMPION SOLDIER JackFoisie, reporter for the San Fraricisco Chronicle after a rugged stint at soldiering, has written one of the hardesthitting reports on the Army as the G. I. sees it yet to make print. He’s told off the brass hats and leveled on second louies. He added last week three outstanding reasons for naming the G. I. the world’s champion soldier. 1. Medical care—the best ever seen, on the field and in the hospitals. Mr. Foisie attributes this to ayailability of . medical supplies “plus American initiative in adapting medical methods to military needs’ on the part of Army doctors and hurses. 2. Army transportation. He ‘said the way Army trucks, jeeps and transport planes licked problems—weather, terrain, mud, rivers, fogs and bogs—was so astonishing that “the de_Scription of American convoys passing through towns and villages undoubtedly will become part of the folklore of Europe 3. Army food—cussed at, but the best ever served to soldiers in the history of warfare. Again, organization, efficjency, initiative. ' Morale is the one word to. encompass all this. Too, the G. I. had a better personal start before the war, and knew it. He was stronger and healthier when he left home, because he had een better fed, better clothed, better housed, better cared for medically from childhood, than soldiers from socialistic or dictator ruled nations, where measures for public health, food, housing and general living were regimented. He came from a land of free enterprise—a way of life worth fighting to protect and return. to. The way of life that made the U. S. soldier the world’s champ is worth hanging on to till a better one comes along—and a look around the world today doesn’t show a better one in sight, nor indicate one is likely to come along anywhere on this globe*—Contributed. RECONVERSION ON MAIN STREET As Marion Williamson, head of the Georgia Employment Security Agency pointed out before a U. S. senate committee in opposing the federal propos] to hike unemployment payments to $25 a week for 26 weeks, it would kill the incentive to work, since that is more than most Americans earn in take home pay after deductions to “‘provide rocking chair money.” An apt expression. Human nature being:as it is, most people earn their bread by the sweat of their brows because that is the only way they can get it. Why work in a laundry at $24 for a 40 hour week, if you can get $25 a week, or even $20 a week for doing nothing? : Rocking chair vacations are attractive to all of us. But they have to be paid for—by somebody. Unless doles to jobless are held within reasonable limits, and public safeguards against chiseling rigidly maintained, only the idle will enjoy vacations at all. The rest of the nation would be slaving every week of every year to pay for them.—Contributed: It is unfortunate that at this time, “‘little business” in America—which includes shops<and stores lining every street in the nation—is te~kling the formidable problems of reconversion, the OPA should take any step creating business doubt and fear. pees By ruling that prices in wholesale and retail establishments must be fixed at the 1942 levels while manufacturers are permitted to increase many prices to offset rising wages and rising. costs of raw: materials, the OPA has ordained a profit “squeeze that. menaces the reconvesion prospects of every retail business, large or small. It will be of little benefit to stimulate mass manufacture of civilian goods through allowing production increases, if the retail price freeze is permitted to force hundreds of thousands of distributive outlets—many of which already are home front business casualties of war scarcities—into bankruptcy or drastic retrenchments. _ The committee for economic development estimates that America's distributive system can supply five million jobs in _ the next year, a greater contribution toward peace time re-employment than all other industries combined. But these jobs cannot be provided, nor can the vast flow of new civilian goods from maker to consumer be otherwise than disastrusly impedd, if this artificial bottleneck is maintained. ester reconversion on Main Street is not only ‘essential to community prosperity, it is essential to successful reconversion in every manufacturing metropolis, and in every office and on every farm. The blunder of that OPA ruling should be corrected before the damage becomes locally and nationally serious.— Contributed. JUST WONDERIN’ I wonder if in Nineveh Where jackals howl and serpents crawl, And the deep dust of centuries ~ Lies there above and covers all, If ghosts from out the misty past ‘ome creeping back to meet once more _ And whisper of the glory dead _ The pomp that died in days of yore. : J read a story once which told of an-encient Assyrian city Jost and almost forgotten under the dust of many centuries. A ling to the author, this great city came to life once in m4 one hundred years. shook off the piles of rubble under _ which it lay buried and for a short midnight hour, lived again f in all its olden splendor its streets alive with gay chattering throngs, its marts of trade, its places of worship—all its trappings of-pomp and circumstance fronting the moonlit sky and then, at_the stroke of one, it sank back into.its dusty oblivion there to lie unhonored until another century of time had spread another pall of dust above its dishonored resting place. Earth has so many Ninevehs—so many great cities: where of old, “sultan after sultan in his pride, abode his little hour and went his way’’; now they lie forgotten or live only in the pages of our histories and encyclopedias. I wonder if any of our teeming modern cities will suffer a like fate. Some of them have made themselves’ eligible— Berlin, for instance and Tokio; for in them both, the gods of hate and greed and disconor were uplifted and above them both still hangs the dang miasma of degration and_ shame. Nineveh is dead, but the same forces which destroyed her, work mightily in the cities of Berlin and Tokio. Perhaps time is already preparing a pall of choking dust for them, perhaps the day will come wherein men shall say of them, ‘“‘Berlin and Tokio are dead.” FOI te One of the greatest dramas of all American history was enacted a few days since. in Japanese waters and upon our battleship. Missouri, All the elements of superb drama were present; the conquering hero who had promised; “‘I shall come back,”’ the leader of bitter defeat who had returned to life and undying hono from three years spent in Japanese prison camps; the dishonored foe. . The ceremonies attending this great drama were graphically described so that we who sat before our radios could visualize them all and feel the thrill of victory. When it was over, the sun burst through envoleping clouds and we felt that the gracious spirit of peace stood beside General MacArthur and his gallant companions. ushering in a new era of happiness, security and good will upon earth. ‘And thus be it ever when freemen shall stand Between their loved homes and foul war's desolation. Blessed with victory and peace shall the heaven rescued band Praise the God who hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just And this be our motto, ‘in God is our trust,’ And the Star Spangled Banner forever shall wave, O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.—A Merriam Conner. ‘. ramento, Calif.
