Below is the proclamation issued toy Governor Goodwin J. Knight making this week National Youth Temperance Week: Proclamation ine iocus ox puDuc aweniuon on the tragedy of juvenile delinquency frequently obscures the encouraging aspects of society's most effective element in its efforts to eradicate the causes and effects of crime among youthful Americans. That group is the overwhelming majority of our youth. These young men and women are working diligently and vigorously to establish themselves as the natural heirs to the finest traditions of citizenship in our Republic. Their concern has become a most manifest through determined ef forts to combat the nefarious traffic in illicit narcotics, especially as it pertains to the less fortunate and more susceptible mem bers of their own generation.

It is dn the energy, ability and deter mination of its young people that the hope for the future of our Re public rests. Their problems are the problems of all our people. As encouragement to the determination of young people to personally resist and collectively combat the harmful' effects of narcotics, Goodwin J. Knight, Governor of California, proclaim 'i a "li 'A TRICK ROPER Mel Lambert, Oakdale Clover Roundup Rodeo announcer does a rope trick for children who appeared on the Tots and Teens radio program Saturday over Radio Station KTRB.

Main c.f.s. River flow cf's- Republican Women Hear Tax Discussion Taxation was discussed by Mrs. Ralph Thole and Mrs. Dan(Em-mett last Thursday morning at a meeting of the study groupj, of the Republican Women of Oakdale. In stating the philosophy ofj the two leading parties, Mrs.

Emmett said of the Republicans, "Republicans recogipe that without hope of profit no businesses would be established, no labor hired and no taxes paid. We cannot add to the economic strength of America by subcontracting from the economic strength of the individual citizen." Mrs. Thole reviewed phases of taxation, pointing out that youth is limited in ita earning volume because of income taxing of flic parents. Ih' discussing the power of taxes to destroy, she said overtaxation prevents a return of money to business expansion with its resultant increased labor demand. The1 nses, sources ani the spread of taxes were discussed in detail.

Millions in taxes are lost annually Because government owns one fourth of all U. S. real estate, industries and power, the speakers said. In summing up- the presentation, the panelists concluded: "New pressures for spending are constantly pushed upon the government. Our Government grows and grows and becomes more expensive because people constantly demand more.

Real ecanomy is not a legislative act but is a state of mind of the individual citizen. As in our daily lives, we want something badly, but we also want fair values and correct handling. The study group met at the home of Mrs. L. C.

Kaufman, and during the coffee hour she was assisted by Mrs. Douglass White and Mrs. Emmett. Mrs. Gen.

Gates poured. Candidates for city offjees were present for the meeting and were introduced.

Knight Below are a few excerpts from some of these leaflets: 'Tr. Frederick Lemers told the American Medical Association at Atlantic City last year that al cohol is a drug which simply whittles away brain cells when consumed in large amounts. "Few alcoholics intend to drink to excess but once alcohol is imbibed, they are left helpless to control tiheir drinking. The part of the brain which tells ithem when to quit becomes anesthetized. That is why it is impossible for the alcoholic to drink moderat ely.

Once control is lost, it is lost forever, because brain cells once lost are never replaced." Dr. Andrew C. Ivy says, "We cannot predetermine who is sus ceptible and who is resistant to becoming an alcoholic. Sometimes one may drink socially and mod-1 erately for 20 years before his alcoholic susceptibility becomes evident" Dr. Thomas Nixon Carter says: "If the high pressure methods now being used to increase the consumption of liquor can be stopped so that every one may be left to decide for himself to drink or not, it da not impossible that the liquor evil may cure itself." Dr.

Ivy also says, "It is bad education, it is unhumanitarian to stand by and permit our young people to make such a choice without being told the risks they take if they choose to drink. "The consumption of alcoholic beverages increases sexual promiscuity, illegitimate births, venereal disease, divorces; vice and crime in general, poverty and mortality from many diseases, and dt does these things primarily because of its effect on the brain." Commercial production of walnuts in California began about 1880. V'- "i LOCALS Mr. and Mrs. H.

C. Hubbs and Mr. and Mrs. Dave Doig spent the Easter Sunday weekend at Topaz' Lake, beyond Sonera Pass. There they planned to get their limit of trout on opening day of the season, but bad weather, and an unpredicted snow storm very much altered their plans.
