LONDON. May "a. - Allied
troops in France and Belgium
started strong counferattacks
against the Nazi bulge section"
extending into a good share of
northwest French territory today,
and indications pointed TO a su-
preme effort to be made to en-
force a pincer move to cut
through the circle at its narrow
est points to entrap German
mechanical units who are chief
holders of the lines now.
The corridor section of the
German lines are being rein
forced, however, it was reported
from Paris, and strong resist
ance to the entrapping move was
being offered. NaZi newscaSts
declared that The effors to break
through had been successfully
handled by German troops, but,
admission was made that the
Allies were causing some con-
Germ to the Nazis in that sector.
Nazi efforts, swith the moving
up of ground forces, apparently
Is being concentrated on crowd
ing the British and Belgian
troops into a smaller area in or
der that plane commandments
may become more effective. Both
sides claimed heavy firing of
small cannonS destroyed large
numbers of tanks now in action
all along the lines.
British officials admitted that
some Nazi attachments had adj
Vdnced 10 BOIogne on the french
coast, but that no serious danger
of wholesale conquering of that
city existed. French and British
both were laboring to hold the
advance from going any further
north along the coast.
Eyes of the world were turned
on Italy today. the 18th anniver-
Sary of the entrance of that
country into World War No. on
the side of the Allies. No dec
laration, indicating whether Italy
was ready to join the NaziS in the

ticeable at first but shows up in later
life when it becomes a very serious
handicap. For example-much of the
heart disease that occurs among
growing girls and boys, among young
people and even in older ones, can be
traced to illnesses from infectious
diseases in childhood.
"You can protect your children
against such avoidable illnesses and
possible handicaps, in several ways.
Here are some of them.
First: Develop their resistance to
disease by intelligent care, paying
special attention to proper food, fresh
air and plenty of rest.
Second: Keep them away from all
people-grown-ups as we'll as children
who have any sort of catching dis
ease.
Third: Take them to your doctor
regularly, while they are well, for a
careful check-up and for advice as to
ways by which they can be kept well.
Do this for the older children as well
as for the younger ones. In that way
unfavorable conditions that may have
developed can be detected while they
are in the early stages, and before
they become serious and permanent
handicap"

Keep Children Isolated
From Catching Diseases
Is Mistake To Think Children
Have To Have These Ailments

"Keep your children away from
other youngsters who have coughs,
colds, measles, mumps, whooping
cough, or any of the other catching
diseases if you want the children to
stay WELL" comes as bit of seasonal
advice to mothers, from DR.. R. H..
Riley, director of the State Depart
ment of Health.
ITS a mistake" he continued, "to
think that the children will have to
have these diseases at some time, so
they may as well have them and have
it over. That notion had to be given up
long ago when it was found that near
ly all of these diseases are not only
very hard on young children, but that
they may leave some serious after
effect.
There is always danger that the
catching diseases due to
some sort of infection-may leave
some permanent damage. 1t may be to

NEWSPAPER FAIRNESS

Decency is not even last in the heat
of a bitter political campaign. The
Institute of Public Opinion observes
Dramatic proof of the fairness of
the American newspaper press is to
be found in the manner in which more
than 100 newspapers handled the pub
LEGATION of the Gallup Poll week after
week. Despite the fact that the ma
jority of the newspapers supported
Wendell Willkie in their editorial col
umns, in no instance did any news
paper suppress, distort or alter the
Gallup Poll results which recently
were showing President Roosevelt in
the lead.
early in the campaign, when Will
kie was running ahead in the poll,
Democratic newspapers regularly
published the results, just as Repub-
lican papers in the final six weeks
steadily published results showing
Roosevelt ahead"
This is not only good sportsman
ship for the aforesaid newspapers and
all the others following their exam
pie. 1t is good sense. Any person OF
publication trying to conceal facts ex-
pressible in figures would fail in the
end anyway.

NOW FOR THE BIG JOB

Now that our family party known
as national election, is over, we can
proceed according to precedent. That
is, we can lay off politics and concen-
trate on certain other important
phases of private and public life, such
as making living and strengthen
ing national defense and helping re-
arm Great Britain. That triple pro-
gram is enough to keep us all busy for
quite a while, at Washington and at
home and everywhere.
And once freed, however transiently
from the eXaggerations and distor-
lions Of political campaign, we may
find that we have more energy for
dealing with our other troubles. We
may be able, for example, to produce
and ship essential war materials more
quickly, and in larger volume, to
Great Britain, which is fighting our
battles and holding the peril away
from our shores.
We may also find time and oppor-
tunity to deal directly with such part
of that peril as infests our own ma
tional life, in the form of sabotage and
"fifth column" activities.
There is plenty for all of US to do,
not eXcitedly or cruelty, but calmly
and decently, to make America strong
and just and keep it so.

MRS. HARRIET A. BLOCKER

Mrs. Harriet A. Blocher, one of the
oldest residents Of Grantsville, died
early Thursday morning at the home
of her son, John Blocher, at Jennings,
whom she was visiting. She was 95.
Mrs. Blocher fell down few steps
shortly after her arrival at her sons
home two months ago and had been
confined to her bed for about seven
weeks. Although she suffered no seri-
Gus injuries in the fall, it is thought
the shock, together with her advanced
years, brought on complications caus-
ing her death.
She was born in the Fairview sec
ton April II, 1845, a daughter Of
Amos and Sally Broadwater, and had
spent her entire life in Garrett county.
Despite her years, Mrs. Blocher was
alert both mentally and physically.
Until the accident occurred she APP
peared in excellent health and spent
her time visiting among her children.
She was the oldest descendant of
the Cornelius Broadwater clan ard
took an active part in the annual re-
unions of this group. Last August she
was an outstanding figure at this
gathering, appearing with five gener-
ations of her family: her daughter,
Mrs. Sally Bowers; her granddaugh-
ter, Mrs. Silas burst, Jennings; her
great-granddaughter, Mrs. Neal Nor
ris, and her great-great-gran
Richard Norris, Ohiopyle, Pa. On this
occasion she also recited poem,
"The Unseen Hand" which she herself
had composed.
Mrs. Blocher was the widow of
Jacob Blocher, who died many years
ago. They were the parents of eight
children, six of whom survive. They
are Mrs. Sally A. Bowers, Jennings;
Mrs. Effie Custer, Eckhart; Mrs.
Enoch Robson, Avilton; Mrs. Zelphia
Wilt, Swanton; Mrs. Louise Wilt,
Westernport, and John Blocher, Jen-
nings. A number of grandchildren,
great-grandchildren and one great
great-grandson also survive. She was
the last surviving member of her i'm
mediate family.
Mrs. Blocher united with the Meth
odist church at an early age and until
her declining years was always a de-
vout worker in this organization. She
was widely known throughout the
community.
Funeral services were conducted
Sunday afternoon from the New Ger
many Methodist church. Rev. Leonard
l.. Wright, pastor of the Church of
the Nazarene, Frostburg, and Rev.
Virgil R. Gillum, Methodist pastor at
Grantsville, officiated. Burial was in
the adjoining cemetery.
Pallbearers were Ira L. Fluff, Por-
ter Wilt, Edwin Robson, Glenn Gus
ter, Victor Blocher and Ray Wilt,
grandsons of Mrs. Blocher. Six grand
daughters served as flower girls.

My dear Mr.. Editor;
Just a line to let you know how
grateful | am for the very valuable
assistance given not only to me but to
the Republican Party by your estim-
able and altogether influential paper,
We couldn't stand up before such a
political tidal wave; but that your
paper took stand in the interest of
those principles for which Mr.. Willkie
stood is matter which, in my opin-
ion, should place both Democrats and
Republicans equally in your debt.
l certainly feel very grateful in
deed, and until can see and thank
you in person, please believe me to be
Gratefully yours,
HARRY w. NICE.

TWENTY SIX CENTURIES

Japan is celebrating its 2,600th an
niversary, and that is something for
young nations like ours to think
about. Where shall we be, what shall
we be doing, what kind of government
shall we have, what will be the nature
and quality of our civilization and our
place in the world 2,450 years from
now?
Probably it's just as well that we
don't know. But we hope that when
that time comes, and if we're still do
ing business as nation, we'll be liv-
ing in better world than we have
now and conducting our international
affairs more humanely and intelli-
gently than Japanese leaders are con-
Quoting that country's.
AS matter of fact we think we're
behaving in a more civilized way
right now, in our infancy, as you
might say than Japan is doing though
we might be unduly prejudiced about
that in our own favor.
AS for continental Europe, which is
far younger than Japan government
ally but older than America, it is not
even living up to it's own past. We
see there, especially in central Eu-
rope, a weller of reaction and rever-
sion, a civilization going backward
and destroying itself with what should
be the means of progress and enlight-
eminent.
Let US be very sure, in our self
righteousness, that we make better
use of our vast resources.
