ABSTRACT OF WENDELL
WILKES ADDRESS

Accusing President Roosevelt of
counting "a war for which this coun-
try is hopelessly unprepared," Wen
dell L. Willkie challenged the chief
executive Saturday to a series of cam
paign debates on foreign and domes-
tic policies.
In his speech the 48-year-old former
utilities executive expressed support
Of "some sort of selective service" as
the only democratic way to obtain
manpower for defense.
But he took sharp issue with Mr..
Roosevelt's conduct of foreign affairs,
telling the thousands at Galway
Park:
"He has dabbled in infammatory
statements and manufactured panics.
The presidents attacks on foreign
powers have been useless and danger
Gus. He has courted a war for which
the country is hopelessly unprepared
and which it emphatically does not
want.
Would Beat Hitler
"He has secretly meddled in the af-
fairs of Europe and he has even I'M
scrupulously encouraged other coun-
tries to hope for more help than we are
able to give.
Il promise, by returning to those
same American principles that over
came German autocracy once before,
both in business and in war, to out
distance Hitler in any contest he
chooses in 1910 or after.
"And | promise that when we beat
him, we shall beat him on our own
terms, in our own American way"
The Republican nominee declared
that the promises of the present adj
ministration cannot lead you to vic
tory against Hitler, OF against anyone
else"
Willkie declared that if he were
President 81 should X X X threaten
foreign governments only when our
country was threatened by them and
when was ready to act"
Then he proposed that in the next
two and half months, he and Mr..
Roosevelt appear together in vari-
Gus parts Of the country to debate
"the fundamental issues of this cam

Cheese Factory Opens
Monday at Grantsville
Pennsylvania Firm Offers Mar.
ket To Milk Producers OF
That Area

A cheese factory began operations
Monday at Grantsville, which will be
branch of the Blairsville Sanitary
Dairy Company, Blairsville, Pa. The
factory has been established in the
former Grantsville Planning Mill build
ing and new and modern equipment
has been installed by John l. Clark
and j, A. Horrell, proprietors of the
Pennsylvania concern.
The factory at present has a capaci-
ty of fifteen cheese watts, holding about
three hundred gallons of milk each
but Mr.. Clark stated they could easily
be prepared to handle 10000 pounds of
milk per day if the business warranted
any expansion.
After the cheese is made at Grants
vile it will be sent to Blairsville for
curing. Truck routes are now being
established to transport the milk.
According to reports this is the first
cheese plant of this character in the
state. The product is called "Pen-
rouque" cheese, and the Blairsville
concern was said to have been the first
to begin manufacture of this type
cheese in the United States, having
begun experimenting in 1884 Mr.
Clark and Mr.. Horrell have been
operating the Blairsvile Dairy for
fourteen years.
The establishment of this new enter
prise at Grantsville is considered an
asset to that community, offering the
farmers a market for disposal of their
milk product. In addition to the price
paid for milk the whey, which is stored
IN large tank, is returned to the
farmer in proportion to the amount of
milk received, roughly estimated at
about thirty percent. This was said to
be good food for hogs, chickens, etc.

only democratic way in which to SC
cure the trained and competent mar
power we need for national Defense"
C0urted War
He criticized the Administration
foreign policy and asserted that the
President "has courted war for
which the country is hopelessly unpre-
pared-and which it emphatically does
not want"
Willkie made it plain he believes
that the United States is mot iso-
lated from those suffering peoples of
Europe"
mo man can guarantee peace" he
continued. peace is not something
that nation can achieve by itslef. 1t
also depends upon what some other
country does"
Although saying that "the Presi-
dents attacks on foreign powers have
been useless and dangerous" Willkio
added that 81 trust | have made it
plain that in the defense of our Amer
lean liberties, | should not hesitate to
stand for war"

But, like great many other Amer.

Dry Run Folk Want
Modern Conveniences
Voice Protest to the Public Ser
vice Commission in Baltimore

Folk in the Dry Run section, near
Kitzmiller, have sent up a cry for
some modern conveniences-and roads
Things like public roads, mail de-
liveries, telephones, electric lights
etc, but not taxes. They've had con-
tact with them.
Mrs. Thomas Wilson, Sr., voiced the
appeal of eight families living in the
community three miles from Kitzmil-
Ter. She wrote to the Public Service
Commission in Baltimore:
"There are eight families living in
our community, owning approximately
1000 acres of valuable farming land
paying taxes as every one does, yet
having no public service of any kind
1--WE have no public roads-out
roads are those we build and maintain
at our own expense. We have no rural
free delivery, and must go three miles
to the postoffice for our mail. We
have no electricity or no telephones
"These houses have from seven to
nine rooms and are the homes of pros
porous farmers, as modern as they can
be made without electricity. Most OF
them have running water and bath
rooms. Is = None of the houses are
more than three-fourths of mile
apart"
She asked the Public Service Com
mission if it couldn't do something
about it.
In Baltimore, Frank Harper, COM
mission secretary, said Mrs. Wilson
had been advised to ask county and
state roads officials about the road
situation, and that the mail delivery
program should be taken to the U. S
postal department..
The commission, he said, would see
what could be done about telephones
and electricity.
The County Commissioners said
Tuesday morning that the Dry Run
Kitzmiller road was under construc-
ton and that about two of the three
miles was about finished, and that the
other had been rocked, but that the
rocked part was extremely rough
They said that the State Roads Com
mission was planning to use its roller
on the road within a few days.
AS far as telephones, electricity
and other utilities are concerned, the
Commissioners said there were many
farmers without such conveniences.

singles tennis championships Sunday
at Mountain Lake Park, Arlo Kline
tob, of Peekville, Pa, near Scranton,
taking one crown and Mrs. L. W. And
rade, of Montauk Beach, L. l., WIN
ming the other.
Klnetob defeated Robert Shapiro,
of Baltimore, ST, rs, 6-2. Shapiro
fought valiantly to win the opening
set but appeared to tire rapidly after
that and was clearly outclassed by the
third set
Mrs. Andraide defeated Joy Hart
man, of Pittsburgh, the defending wo-
mems champion, who needed but one
more victory to win permanent pos
session of the women's trophy. She
won last year and the year previous,
but was outclassed Sunday and fell
before Mrs. Andraide 60, 6-3.
1t was reported the winner ranked
eighteenth among women net players
of the United States. This was her
first appearance on the local court.
Price Colvin and D. Hobbs, of Balti-
more, saved the day for Maryland en-
tries by winning the mems doubles.
They defeated Adrian Hartman and
Klinetob 11-9, GO.
Mrs. Andraide teamed with Sara
Moore, of Washington, to win the wo-
mems doubles, defeating Charlotte
Decker and Hazel Bishop, of Wash
ngton, 60, Ga.
Play in the mixed doubles was halted
by darkness on Sunday after Mr.. and
Mrs. Andraide had taken one set 6-3,
and Joy and Adrian Hartman had
taken one 1913.
The match was scheduled to be con-
Guided Monday morning at 9:45, but
the court was wet from rain and be.
cause Mr.. and Mrs. Andraide were due
in Cincinnati at another tournament,
they defaulted to the Hartman pair.
Rain on Thursday and Friday caused
delay in the tournament and made it
impossible to conclude the matches by
Saturday afternoon, hence permission
was given by the new owners of the
Park to permit tennis to be played
there on Sunday, the first time in the
history of the Park. Even with this
extra day the players were pushed and
winners and runners-up had to play
number of matches late Saturday and
also Sunday following singles events.
Following the mems doubles match,
trophies were presented to all but
mixed doubles winners by Congress-
man Jennings Randolph, of Elkins,
West Va.
Ed. Mccullough, Breckenridge, Pa,
who put out Price Colvin, last years
singles champion, in the opening
round, was defeated by Klinetob in
the semi-fnals 6-2, 6-3. Shapiro de-
feated Ed, Alcorn, Pittsburgh, SO, 2-6,
ia to win the right to meet Klinetob.
The tournament was considered up
to Its usual standard, with a number
OF new entries competing, indicating
that as many if not more will come to
Mountain Lake Park next year for
the twenty-second annual affair.
Miss Hartman will no doubt return
lor an attempt at regaining her title
and the trophy, while it is almost GER
tam that the Pennsylvania winner
and semi-fnalists in the mems singles
events will be back.
A number of players entered the
cumberland tournament, while Mr..
and Mrs. Andraide went to Cicinnati
10 compete in that city.

GET IN THE SWIM By JOHNNY WEISSMULLER
 Former World Speed Champion
SECOND IN A SERIES)

The basis of swimming is con- fidence. The coordination neces- sary for the various swimming strokes comes easily once the fear of the water is overcome. The first lesson, therefore, is to learn how to breathe and to become accus- toned to holding the breath under water.
 Some beginners have a feeling of suffocation when their head is under water and immediately become terrified. To overcome this, stand in shallow water and duck your head under the surface to get used to the feeling of pressure. Then, holding the breath, if nec- esSary with the fingers holding the nose, squat under the water, open your eyes and look at your hand. Keeping the eyes open adds to the feeling of confidence.
 Correct form in the water can not be obtained without correct breathing. The first thing to re- member is that breathing in the water is exactly the opposite of breathing on land For swimming, you inhaie through the mouth, ex- hale through the nose. In practi- cally all strokes except the breast stroke, the head is under water much of the time, so it is obvious that inhalation through the nose is impossible.
 Practice inhaling through the mouth and exhaling through the nose before entering the water, then practice it in the water. Take a breath through the mouth, sub merge and blow out the air through the nose. If this correct method of breathing is used, the swimmer will be able to develop confidence, rhythm and speed, also the relaXa- tion which is an essential part of good swimming,
