Nevada City Nugget 305 Broad Street. Phone 36, A Legal Newspaper, as defined by statute. Printed and Published at Nevada City, * Editor ang Pu.s.-+ ‘ t Published Semi-Weekly, Monday anu lisi:sday at Nevada City, California, and entertd as m. matter of the second class in the postoffice a' Nevada City under Act of Congress, March 3, iJ 1879. } SUBSCRIPTION RATES : One year (In Advance) ...-.--.-.-------------++ $3.60 . One Month a 30 cents —) JUST WONDERIN’ I wonder how this world would seem Were all her vexing problems solved And there were nothing we could call Abtruse, or complex, or involved, If all the Gordian knots were cut-, And all the tangled webs unWound, If all the questions had been asked And all the proper answers found. ] wonder. what the little: races of mankind would do, were they to find themsel#es in a world that had been finished, perfected and given its final polishing off — a world in which human evhievement had reached its ultimate goal and every resource both mental and physical, developed to its utmost capacity. Try to imagine this hysterical modern world coming to such a state of serene finality. No more problems to vex the souls of men, no more driving tasks to be performed, no more battles to be fought, no more discoveries to be made, no more heated presidential campaigns, no more questions to be asked, no more answers to be given; nothing to do but press buttons and call upon the forces of the universe to do our bidding, At first glance, the idea seems alluring, at second glance, it is found to be deadly. In such a world, innocuous destitude would become epidemic. A world in which there was nothing to do? Awful! A world in which there were no Edisons, Burbanks, and Dr. Carvers, no more need for further explorations, experiments, and inventions; a world in which _ there were no incentives, inspirations, no further services to be rendered, no ideals to urge us onward. If we were to find our world suddenly transformed into such a paradise of inactivity, I'm sure we wouldn't like it. For that reason, we may be devoutly thankful that the processes of evolution are slow, and that it will be many a long aeon befoe the planet upon which we dwell, will even approach a state of finished perfection. , It is good to know that humanity is still upon the outer fringes of “wonders still to be.’’ There are vast and infinite realms of space which at some future time will be explored by larger and better telescopes, than any we have at the present time, and microscopes of the future will disclose unimaginable and infintismal creatures of which scientists have not as yet dreamed. There are frontiers to be explored, much tearing down and upbuilding still before us, many reforms to be inaugurated—the inhabitants of this little planet will not find their occupations gone for millions, perhaps billions of years to come. After the war is over, there will be work for all; there will be work for returning soldiers and civilians alike; and it behooves us all to turn to the arts of peace and employ them in the gigantic tasks of reconstruction which will then confront us. j Uncle Silas says: “Schickelgruber has small reason to gloat even if his dark friend, Mussolini, has escaped from the island upon which we were told he had been interned. Napoleon escaped from Elba, but Saint Helena, like the Royal Canadian Mounted, got her man.” —A. Merriam Conner. IMAGINATION AND CAUTION Out of the maze of postwar plans that have been given wide publicity during the past year have come many impractical as well as many practical suggestions. Viewed from the standpoint of a businessman who knows what it takes to develop and produce-new products, many of these are stimulating and some-have reverse effect. Commenting on the postwar situation, Wilfred Sykes, president of the Inland Steel Co., says: 7 **Men of imagination have turned to postwar planning in groups that now number about 200. They stimulate me. And they sometimes make me mad. “They stimulate me because they also see what can be done eventually with the new postwar products. And they make me mad because they don’t seem to realize that it can’t all be done right away—immediately—as soon as the Japs are licked—if not sooner. : . “I can't go along with them because the men . represent are not planning for someone else. What distinguishes their planning from all others is that they are the men who must make some plan work. _. “If the men who launch the goods are wrong, they go broke. And then eveybody is out of a job. They have a responsibilitly for the successful application of men, materials and money. — : ~__ Mr. Sykes goes on to say that while experimentation and research never cease, and that while industry will place new products on the market the minute they are practicable, it is _ nevertheless true that when the war ends and people will need to replace their worn out radios, refrigerators, and washing _ machines, they will be able to get the 1942 models ‘with im‘provements. i * or at .f hi ITALY SURRENDERS With Italy in abject and unconditional surrender, one wonders whether Mussolini remembers as well as the rest of the world those boastful words he screamed from the Palazzo ‘Venezia balcony just three short years ago. ‘ ‘Fighters of land, sea and air’’! he bellowed to his throng st Blackshirts gathered below. “‘Blackshirts of the Revn and the Legions, men and women of Italy, of the emind « Kingdom of Albania listen! There is only one srical and obligatory for everyone! It already hearts from the Alps to the Indian WISH ARE Tat gee ~ shakes the Nazi military hold on the Balkans and encourages those nations to follow Italy's example. It is a great military victory. But to most American homes its implications are more personal than that. It means the saving of thousands of precious young American lives that would have been sacrificed in the bloody fight across Italy. On every score it is worth great thanksgiving. UNIVERSITIES IN UNIFORM As reservoirs of both youth and knowledge the colleges and universities of the country were among the first to don the uniform of total war. The blue of the Navy andthe khaki of the Army. became the campus colors of almost every Amcrican institution of higher learning. The thrusts of war toppled liberal arts from the campus throre they shared with science. The enemy we faced could were men trained to operate the complicated apparatis of modern war; men equipped to go into laboratories and bring forth new andsuperior weapons of war; men able to use the magic of physics and chemistry to replace the rubber and other natural products denied us by enemy conquests. All-out emphasis on science is essential to survival in war time. But in peace time as Germany and Japan have proved, nation which divests itself of cultural and ethical education tansforms its people into beings more akin to beasts than men. It is gatifying to note that here, in meeting the needs of the Army and Navy, training programs, the institutions of tional aims. Once victory is won, liberal arts again will share the campus with science. As the president of one large California university put it, the schools’ “‘civilian integrity” ‘will be restored. e POSTWAR BUYING BACKLOG A sign of the times is the new, unadvertised shortage which the U. S. public will soon find in safety deposit boxes. White collar workers and wage earners clutching War Bonds in their hands have swarmed into banks and trust companies in recent months and rented safety deposit boxes for the first time in their lives. Safety deposit box occupancy is at an all time high; rentals since January . , are up 31 per cent over the same period a year ago. Yet there is no tendency to hoard currency. The total of money in circulation is rising steadily. This is most significant. People’s valuables today consist largely of war bonds and other long range savings. That means, in terms of postwar planning, an accumulated buying power to back up the great demand which will exist when tne war ends. It means that people will be able to pay for the things industry will produce. It means greater employment if industry, unhampered’ by unnecessary governmental restrictions, is given-a chance to satisfy the demand. CONGRESS MAY DECIDE POLICY ON MANPOWER _By JAMES PRESTON . win ‘tbe inducted in the future; all men needed for non-cembat and continental service can be obtained from men over, 38 and reclassified 4-Fs and men so inducted can be replaced in industry and agriculture by those discharged ftom the armed forces (9,000 a week)~plus approximately 2,000,000 women who are expected to be drawn into private jobs. Congress will receive legislation to create a special governmefit agency to make loans to private business concerns and provide other types of financial assistance to industry. The new measure will be sponsored by the special senate committee, on Small Business héaded by Senator James E. Murray of Montana, and would create a permanent Small Business Financing Corporation with in the Federal Reserve System. NEVADA CITY SCHOOLS ARE The capitol expects the returned 78th ‘congress to lay down a new clear cut manpower policy. A majority of the congressmen appear to be determined to take positive steps toward eliminating existing confusion which is making: it difficult for industry, agriculture, and other segments of the national economy to plan their operations. intelligently. Inextricably tied up with the whole manpower picture is the question of Army and Navy quotas, which in turn leads to the problem of drafting pre-Pearl Harbor fathers. Influential legislators have voiced their opposition to the induction of these fathers, ‘terming such action political dynamite. They favor the a not be beaten by quoting him Shakespeare.

ORE DEPOSITS RED BLUFF, Sept. 20——Congressman elect Clair Engle today urged those interested in the development of iron ore in the second congressional district to notify him as soon as ‘possible at his office in Washington, 3 Feel . Engle said that funds . were provided by congress for the ‘exploration of iron ore. Purpose of the survey will be to supply technical Snformation needed by steel and mining operators ‘‘who may become interested in developing ore on the ; west coast.” . “Those. who’ have information on ‘iron ore deposits should ‘get in touch . with me as soon as possible,’’ Engle recently said. ‘“‘The information will be turnled over to a special committee, headled by Rep. Frank W. Boykin of Alaibama, which in turn will recommend ' exploration of the territory by the Bureau of Mines.” Engle is scheduled ta leave Sept. 22 by plane for Washington. He said one of his first tasks will be to coneentrate on the development of natural resources in the second district.

WILLS 4449 Eye St., Sacramento or Colfax, Box 91. 851me EIGHT MEN Over 45 who are not employed in Defense Work to qualify for income exhaustion of every other possible source of manpower for the armed services before permitting the induction of fathers. To achieve their objective, they feel it is necessary to enact over all manpower legislation that will establish fixed procedure. Informed sources envision the contemplated legislation as follows: temporary postponement of the draft of fathers; a thorough congressional investigation of the manpower resources of the country; enactment of a modified Austin-Wadsworth Compulsory Manpower Bill to provide a system of job priorities among various industries based on their importance to the war effort. In championing the Postponement of the father draft, most congressmen realize that they must furnish the armed services, industry, and agriculture with an alternate plan. Many lean toward a program requiring the drafting of able-bodied men without children, between the ages of 38 and 45. and a reexamination of the availability for limited service many men now classified as 4.F. Some congressmen believe that after the facts have been established the picture will look this way: it will not be necessary to drafit prePearl Harbor fathers; sufficient combat troops will be available from the men now under 38 in the armed OPEN TODAY Nevada City schools opened today with approximately the same attendance as at the closing last year. In the high school 140 students are reg‘tstered and H. E. Kjorlie, superintendent believes that shortly after the opening: the registration will mount to 165 or 170. Several high school boys are still employed on the Tahoe National Forest fire fighting crews. Kjorlie announced that the schools this year will stress the following objectives: 1 <A thorough understanding of the {fundamentals of mathematics, English and reading. : 2 The development of each pupil’s mental and physical health up to his own capacity. ‘ 38 The development of an understanding of the requirements for making good fathers and mothers, good neighbors and efficient citizens. . 4 The development of an understanding of the world in which: all nations work together intelligently, wisely and harmoniously.
