WAR BABIES ‘At a time when almost everything else is rationed, the United States is having a bumper crop of babies, according to the statistics released by the Census Bureau. We don’t know wether the war has anything to do with this increase in America’s posterity, but we do know that it is about the best index there is to what thousands of fathers and mothers think of our country’s future. _ It indicates that the parents of the United States face the future with courage, confident that their. children will have every opportunity to live full and purposeful lives, safe, good. lives. tion of marriage ties for Germans, and his state subsidization of the baby crop for future war material —might take a tip from America where families are neither built nor reared at the instance of the state. ve MAKING DEMOCRACY 'WORK (From The Sonoma Index-Tribune) “Sixteen midwest congressmen have proved they can take it. They met with businessmen and farmers in day-long conferences to listen—not to talk. It gave the citizens an opportunity to “get it off their chests.’’ And they did. These congressmen will have a pretty good idea of what the “folks back home” expect of them when they return to Washington next month. . _ More of these get-togethers are desirable. While it is not possible for any public official to please all of his constituents, such meetings put him in touch with those he represents and makes him better able to carry out the desires of the majority. Democracy today is facing one of the severest challenges in all history, both from without and within. Axis leaders term it ‘decadent’ and out-moded. We smile at these charges. But we are too inclined to take democracy for granted. We are not fully aware that we have to make democracy work—not let it work, or let the other fellow work it. ; Right now, our big job is winning the war, but “winning the war will not in itself preserve democracy. We must be alert to the forces within that would divide us through racial, religious, or class hatred. Now, more than ever is the time for us all to be pulling together, striving to unify our nation. Now is not the time for high officials to sound the war drums. for further strife between capital and labor. As long as congress truly represents the people we need have little fear. But it is our job as individual citizens. to see that congress fulfills that function. And meetings between congressmen and the people, whenever possible, is one of the best methods of doing it.” : i >. The above editorial from a well known news bureau is pertinent to this locality where Cougressman C. F. Lea has been in contact with his constituents and heard what was on the minds of farmers and business men in regard to wartime regulations and practices. Mr. Lea will return to Washington more than ever convinced that he has been carrying out the wishes of the people, for instance, in such matters as the control of strikes.

Old maps and_ records ‘yield many surprising facts about them. Much of this odd and little known data, interesting to California newcomers and old residents alike, has been compiled by the San: Francisco Regional Service Committee .in. a series of articles of which this is the eighth, Six bay counties were among California’s original 27, and this area, already having a definite, settled character when the state was admitted to the Union in 1850; has changed less radically than have other portions of’ the state. ; San Francisco county originally included theentire peninsula of which it now is only the tip, for IN CALIFORNIA EBBED AND FLOWED The major change in the Marin boundary, indeed, was without visible effect. San Francisco’s north line: originally went clear across to the Marin low water mark. Subsequent amendments placed it more nearly in the middle of the waters separating the two counties. — Contra Costa and Santa Clara Counties, also organized in 1850, originally had a common boundary. Alameda County thrust in between them in 1853, borrowing territory from both. Alameda had one of the most peripatetic county seats,in the state. It shuttled back and forth between San Leandro and Alvarado from 1848 to 1872, then went to a town called Brooklyn until in 1875 Oakland finally was big enough to assert a succesSful claim.

OLD ENOUGH TO FIGHT—OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE? ; (From the Sonoma Index-Tribune) The opinion of voters in at least one state of the union is that if youths of 18 can fight they should also vote. We fail to see any analogy. While there may be boys who will vote intelligently, perhaps as intelligently as some of the electorate, voting is more than casting a ballot or should be if demo‘eracy.is to endure. Not only are the merits of political candidates to be decided and the platforms on which they seek elecn to be anaylzed but the intricate proposals and propositions ich come up at state elections must also be digested. These re hard nuts to crack for any of us but to get at the kernel or tect the pea and shell game involved in some propositions t too much for unsuspecting youth to divine.
