One Menth PEON ie pap toaAe eet amin te ae) the postofii’e a’ 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.
