THE ARMY OKAYS WOMEN
Women are just as good on most flying jobs—and sometimes better. That is the opinion of Major Earl Johnson, commanding officer of 2500 American women
pilots. These
women aviators, who deliver materials and planes and ferry
passengers away from the combat coastal areas, comprise a
tenth of the Civil Air Patrol enrollment.
A booklet prepared by the War Department for American troops in England says this of British women in uniform;
“British women have proved themselves. They have died at
gun posts and.as one has fallen another girl has stepped directly into the position and ‘carried on.’ There is not a single
record of any British woman in uniformed service failing in
her duty under fire. When you see a girl in uniform with a
bit of ribbon on her tunic, remember she didn't get it for knitting more socks than anyone else in Ipswich.”
Such: praise-from the Army is not lightly given——and is
well earned. /° i
A GIRL’S REBUKE TO SPEEDERS
Lucille’ Losey. 18 year old Lone Beach girl, has won
highest honors in. the annual high school
essay contest conducted by the California Safety Council. Her essay ‘on safe
driving was judged first among contributions by many earnest students.
She based her plea upon natriotism, pointine out that national safety in the preservation of precious rubber is a first
duty of the motorist: If the wear on tires per mile at a speed
of 25 miles an hour is used as a base of 100 ver cent, a motorist driving at 35 miles an hour is using rubber at the rate of
113 per cent; at 45 miles an hour, 137 per cent; at 55 miles
an hour, 164 per cent; at 65 miles an hour. 275 per cent. The
autoist who won't save for himself, said Miss Losey, should
save for his’ country.
It takes nothing from the force of this high school girl's
rebuke to wasters of a scarce war material to note that she was
unable to attend the San Francisco luncheon meeting where
the awards were given to winning contestants. She longed to
be there—but she did not feel she should take the time from
her work at a Southern California shipyard.
' THE ANGLEWORM QUEEN
If it weren't for the circumstance that most anyone can
get a war job these days, the story of Miss Mary B. Leasure.
of Ontario, California, should be a humdinger in way of inspiration for people inclined to get down in the dumps over
Jack of opportunity.
Miss Leasure raises angleworms. She has turned a twoacre plat into a profitable earthworm ranch, so to speak. She
produces worms and eggs by the millions and ships them to
customers in the U. S., Canada and a ha!f dozen other countries. The customers are orchardists and gardeners. They put
the worms in the soil around an anemic, droopy plant or tree
and the worms fiddle around in the ground, loosening and
aerating it about the roots—and the plant perks up and grows
like sixty.
Miss Leasure’s Yankee enterprise might be worth remembering, just in case hard times come again.
We've had tin plate kings and oil kings and steel kings.
Now California comes up with an angleworm queen,
There’s always something!
THINKING OUT LOND
(Continued from Page One)
the party's presidential candidacy in 1944. But he wont add
to the number of his friends in.
California if he appoints Olson to any resvonsible war iob.
He has lately been rebuked by
New York Democrats, and he
might not wish to alienate
more of his party in California.
In the meantime two thirds
of Caiifornia citizens can join
the-little birds every morning
“singing praises to God. Olson,
the incubus, has been gently
lifted off the people's aggregate back. He was a sad, bad
accident in California politics.
He rode“into office promising
to reduce taxes, to find a way
to give the oldsters thirty every
Thursday, and in general to
give California a New Deal.
He was going to do for California what President Roosevelt had done for the United
States.
It proved to be another case
. of mistaken identity. Aesop, it
will be recalled, tells of the
Jackass whose bray was mistaken by the populace for the
roar of a lion. The Jackass won
at renown until the people
saw him. So, on a record of
roken promises, pledges reand high and_ low
Ny
scandals, Californians : are
showing the Great Voice the
four years.
NATIONAL COFFEE POT
The national coffee pot won’t be
quite so full next month as it has
been because there will be a fifrther
reduction in the amount of coffee
available to consumers. Wholesalers
and retailers will have ten per cent
less coffee to distribute among you
Mrs. Americans than they have had
since the WPB cut them down to 75
per cent of 1941 surplus. The reduction was made’ necessary by the
shortage of shipping space. Most of
our supplies come from South and
Central America countries. Experts
advise you to buy small amounts of
fresh coffee at a time.#If you puhchase too much at once, they remind
you. that after a few days it won’t
have the same good quality as when
it was fresh. Measure you coffee accurately and make just what you
need. Prepare coffee as you want it;
the fresh cups naturally taste better
than if it is reheated.
Miss Ida Pratti ,who is engaged in
war work in San Francisco, spent the
week end in Nevada City.
The Bank of America received a
new coat of paint this week making
the interior and outside fresh and
clean.
To the Voters of Nevada
County—
Thank you for the splendid vote
+of confidence which yon gave me in
the recent election. I shall do my
utmost to merit that confidence.

GEMS OF THOUGHT
“FAITH
Faith does nothing alone—nothing
of itself, but everything under God,
by God, through God.—Stoughton.
A saving faith comes not of a person, but of Truth’s presence
power. Soul, not sense, receives and
gives it.—Mary Baker Eddy.
There is a limit where the intellect fails and breaks down, and this
limit is where the questions concerning God and freewill, and immortality arise.—kKant,
The steps of faith fall on the seeming. void, but find the rock beneath.
