I The patience of the American public seems highly commen- dable when one endures for even a short time the run of singing and ,other commercials to be heard over the air day after day. "Everybody&apos;s Doin' it, doin it, doin' it; everybody's switching to chmalzberg's soap," for instance, 0r "Everybody loves Kitzjammer's bread." The theory behind modern radio advertising seems to be based on the value of repetition, but it seems to us that the genius' who concoct many of these inane poetic efforts are insulting adult Intelligence. We wouldn't be surprised if Iome of these verbal concoctions would result sooner or later in consumer boycott of the products being advertised. - Olives are graded by size (jum- bo, colossal, mammoth, etc.), can- ned oods by quality, whiskey by age, fresh eggs by size and clean- liness--but how do you grade a dried egg? The Army has been dumping large quantities of dried eggs in the open market for 22c a pound more than the price quoted by the Government's Commodity Credit Corporation which has a mere 67 million pounds of the powdered (ugh!) substance kicking around in caves and places. The Army says the CCC's stuff isn't good enough. Is there such a thing as a good powdered egg? Any ex-GI can quickly furnish a dozen adjectives for dried eggs, most of them un- printable. "Horrible" is an adjec- tive both printable and applicable, but it's difficult to use it as a base tot grading. Can anything ,be more horrb|le than horrible? Senator Taft urged the other day that a commission be estab- lished to determine ways to cut military costs. A good place to etart would be in the purchase of dried eggs, a commodity which de- ties grading. < NEW EQUIPMENT INSTALLED AT GLENNS GREENVILLE ;UPER MARKET Llndsay Glenn, who works now arid then, is urging friends and cuntimers to view the new installa- ti01s .which have been made in Glenns Greenville Narket during the dull winter weeks.

DOES NOT U " -r It seems to us to be a sad reflector on ." ....  n- telligence that the ncion should pz-esist ;n ,: .... '_;e theory that crime -,:n c iminals are ;.evit=b', "'t nothinq more than the tldnq of retaliry re u - - be done about it. In many respects we hve succeeded in demo"r =t nq a degree of superiority over the acceptance ot 'r-:t'nal qobbldeqook to the effect that this or that cannot be chang- ed because it has always been thus. Almost all crimes are demonstrably due to a,,. el!oft to acquire money or s equivalentand crime continues to in- crease in larqe and small circles despite centuries of effort to lessen it by the exerise of capital punishment or other punitive measures. Some form of correctinq the monetary system would have many benefits besides the eradication of crme. How- ever, we as individuals are slow to make any such change because as individuals we persist in the ilusivn fhat we ar.e all potential millionaires and don't wish to upset !at illu- sive applecart. A form of currency which has no permanent value would serve its fundamental purpose of beinq a medium of exchanqe and eliminate the motive for most of our crimes. It would also go far to reduce the ever-growiq debt cn which the consuminq public is payinq a steadily increas- inq interest burden. And since the currency we now use is very shor-lived, the only material expense would be that of changing the mode of operation. PLUMAS-LASSEN IRON MINE TO BE IMPORTAST FACTOR OF NEW STATE,STEEL PLANT Material for a million tons of steel per year will be forthcoming l from an iron ore mine between Westwood and Susanville, not far from the Plumas county line, ac- cording to a recent article in the Sacramento Bee. The mine, said to be owned by a corporation headed by Dr. Frank ONeill of Oroville, is prepared to supply the projected steel mill with an initial reserve of 200 mil- lion tons of ore, the article stated, and, i; located about six miles be- yo-t the Keddie extension of the ITestern Pacific railroad. It is pos- sible that a further extenson of the tracks may 'be provided, or the ore transported to the rialhead by conveyor belt. The plant to be built in the Sac- ramento area, where shipping is readily available, will be set up to produce armor platand other heavy material for the govern- ment, with planning allowed for later conversion to civilian produc- tion of steel products. It is to be a duplicate of the Geneva steel plant in Utah and will be some- what larger in both size and capa- city than the Kaiser plant now operating in Fontana, according to the doctor. In a later article, the San Fran- cisco Examiner displayed skepti- cism of the project, stating that ore deposits of the quantity and quality outlined do not exist in this part of the country. SERVICES ARE HELD IN SAN FRANCISCO FOR GUS FORTHOUS Word was received here yester- day of the sudden death, of Gus Forthous of Greenville in a :San Francisco Hospital. He was 65 years of age. Mr. Forthous was well known in Indian Valley, having lived here since 1922 wlmn he became a part- ner of Jack McIntyre in the opera- tion of the Arcadia Mine on the Round Valley Lake Road. He was born in San Francisco, was never married, and lad made his home here continuously until last fall, when he went to the bay area to spend the winter months. Cause 'of death was not kniwn. Services are being held today in San Francisco, with interment fol- lowing in tlt city. Mr. Forthous leaves one survivor, a brother REFRAIN FROM H00ST¥ CHANGE IN JOBS. CAVANAU0000 To be eligible for reemployment rights and accrued seniority, a po- tential serviceman must enter the armed forces within a reasonable time after leaving his employ- ment, according to C. J. Gallup. Plumas County Service Officer. "The United States Department of Labor's Beureau of Veterans' Reemployment Right recommends that draftees, enlistees, and reser- vists remain on their jobs until they are accepted and called for service." Gallup said. "Although not required by law, it is good business for persons entering mili- tary service to advise their em- ployers of their intentions and ob- tain a leave of absence." E. W. Cavanaugh, Manager of the local office of the Department of Emloyment, added another rea- son for not leaving jobs too soon. There are few temporary jobs available for persons who have left their jobs to enter military service, but who have not yet received their orders to duty, he said. The local employment office and the County Veterans Service Of- ficer have information availab]e for potential servicemen and em- ployers regarding rights and res- ponsi,bilities under the reemploy- ment legislation. For detailed as- sistance with such problems and for help with military leave pol- icies, the offices of the Bureau of Veterans' Reemployment Rights should be contacted, either at 102 Federal Office Bulldinf, San .Fran- cisco, or 1206 Santee Street, Los Angeles. CRIPPLED CHILD'S DRIVE IN PLIWAS COUNTY.

This badge, which is only awarded frontline combat infan- trymen, distinguished the actual fighting man from the rear area and service troops in a combat! zone. A soldier must be a mem- ber of an infantry regiment to be eligible to receive it. The badge itself consists of a miniature replica of an revolu- tionary flint lock rifle on a rec- tangular blue background super- imposed over a wreath. It is worn by the soldier over his left breast pocket above his campaign rb- bolas.

Greenville, Plumas County, Calif., Thursday March 1, 1951 GOOD CROWD ATTENDS DISASTER COUNCIL 0000EETING TUESDAY Some 20,9 citizens of the area vre present at the Plumas T?catre Tuesday evening when Cmmander Schooler explained the purposes and expected mode of ])eration of the Plumas County isaster Council in the event an emergency should develop. llowiff introductory remarks h:  Vice-Commander Ed Spell- .neyer, Hen. Win. Macmillan gave ,,u interesting address in which e pointed out the desirability of ur democratic way of life, con- trstin it sharply with present c,nditions in Russia and those ":hewn to exist in Germany prior to World War II. "Vigilance and rouaredness are the price of free- -lore." Macmillan said, "and we as Amercians have unhesitatingly met demands for both ever since the days of Lincoln, when slavery w , abolished on our own soil. As a free peoples we have an indomi- hble snirit which cannot be quel- led! by even threats of atomic des- truction, and as patriots we will rise again and again to preserve the privileges established and fou.ht for by our forefathers," he stated. Mr. Schooler detailed the activi- ties that might be expected of this rea in an emergency, pointing out that our biggest problem will be the handlinK of voluntary or en- forced refugee from the coastal areas. The influx of large numbers of people, particularly women, children and aged---which will be the first to be evacuated trom metropolitan zones--will create a tremendous problem for back- country such as ours, he said. Food, transportation and housing will have to be provided immedia- tely, and we will have to be ready to furnish aid in medicalization and hospitalization in such an event, hePointed out. "If you are one of those people 'who think there isn't any specific iob for you in civil defense, you should think again," the speaker said. "There's no reason to as- sume that a lack of a particular skill deprives you of the privilege of serving during this, a most vital time in our country's history. You don't have to have military experience, although if you have, it may prove invaluable. You need not know how to shoot a gun, spot airplanes or look well in a fire- man's helmet or to e able to drive a truck in order to fit im- portantly into the picture. "Indications are that we will particularly need registered and practical nurses and aynone who has workable knowledge of first- aid. We will need construction men, bus and truck drivers, elec- trical linemen, laborers, office workers, and many ohters. There's a job--untold numbers of jobs--in which your contribution may be responsible for saving numberless lives." In response to questions from the audience, Mr. Schooler made it clear that volunteer who send in cards offering their services to the council will not be in any way obligated. If it is inconvenient for them tO serve away from home ,heir services will be utilized when and where they best fit in, lut it is desirable to have as complete a record of individuals as possible in order to cataloge different classes of service. In closing the Commander ex- pressed the appreciation of the council to Mr. and Mrs. Golden- son for the use of the theatre; to the American Legion for installing loud speakers, and to the Boy Scouts for being present to hand out and collect registration cards. DOCTOR NOW SICK IN BED After devoting his time--spare and otherwise to nursing the pop- ulace of the area through the cur- rent epidemic of influenza, Dr. W. C.
