that any extension of the war in
the region Of the Mediterranean
would inevitably result in great
prejudice to the ways of life and

republics.
The government Of Italy has now

fill what 1t states are it's promises
to Germany. In so doing 1t has
manifested disregard for the rights

Two Courses
In our American unity, we will
pursue two obvious and simultan-

the opponents Of force the material
resources Of this nation and, at
the same time, we will harness and
speed up the use Of those resources
in order that we ourselves in the

TEXT OF PRESIDENT
ROOSEVELT'S MESSAGE

Charlottesville, Va, June 10
President Roosevelt's address to-
day at graduation exercises Of the
University of Virginia follows:
Every generation of young men
and women in America has ques-
tions to ask the world. Most of
the time they are the simple but
nevertheless difficult questions of
work to do, opportunities to find,
ambitions to satisfy.
But every now and again in the
history Of the republic a different
kind Of question presents itself-a
question which asks, not about the
future of an Individual or even of
a generation, but about the future
Of the country, the future of the
American people.
There was such a time at the
beginning of our history as a ma
ton. Young people asked them
selves in those days what lay ahead,
not for themselves, but for the new
United States.
There was such time again in
the seemingly endless years Of the
war between the states. Young
men and young women on both
sides of the line asked themselves,
not what trades or professions they
would enter, what lives they would
make, but what was to become of
the country they had known.
There is such a time again to-
day. Again today the young men
and the young women of America
ask themselves with earnestness
and with deep concern this same
question: What Is to become of the
country we know"
Now they ask 1t with even great
err anxiety than before. They ask,
not only what the future holds for
this republic, but what the future
holds for all peoples and all ma.
tons that have been giving under

FLAG DAY,
FRIDAY, JUNE 18th

Friday, June IA, is Flag Day,
when we as citizens of the Unit
ed States honor the symbol of
liberty, the emblem Of freedom.
On that day the flag should be
proudly displayed throughout
the city, for it symbolizes pro-
lection, for we as Americans can
go about freely without ducking
bombs. Flag Day brings to
mind certain groups, who have
refused to salute the flag be-
cause Of peculiar religious be-
liefs. In an 8 to 1 decision the
United States Supreme Court
has ruled that state laws requir-
ing school children to salute the
American Flag on certain oc-
casions are legal and must be
observed. At this particular
time this action is noteworthy,
because teaching the children to
salute the flag Is merely a SIM
pie and wholesome lesson in
patriotism. With subversive ele-
ments in this country, it is well
to instill patriotism into the
youth Of the land. Adults can
stand a little of it themselves.
as their example is greatly
needed; 50 put out your flag on

Do you advise grinding shell
ed corn for fattening steers?
It does not matter a great deal
whether corn is fed as broken ear
corn, ground ear corn, or shelled
corn in feeding fattening steers. I
think yearling and two-year-old
steers will handle broken ear corn
q little better than calves. Ground
ear corn makes a very satisfactory
way for feeding corn to fattening
cattle of any age.-W. H. Peters,

was severe and they were showed

badly damaged.

cut under the chin which re-
quired two stitches. Others escap-

These boys luckily escaped SER

occurred at the crossing in which
motorists have run into the side of
the train. This is possibly the first
accident in which a motorist hit
the rear of another car there. The
boys seem to think that there Is
something wrong with the lighting
and that reflections from the city
or along Third Street caused this
accident.

The men in the service are tops,
he said. His officers are regular
fellows, highly skilled technicians
in their fields, and ready with a
helping hand. Fraternizing with
the cadets by the enlisted men isn't
encouraged, because the flying cad
cts are the officers in the making,
he said. But if you're flying with
one of them or with an officer,
when you get to your destination
they'll invariably ask, DO you
have enough money!" Dudley
pointed out.
There's no hysteria down there,
he pointed out. These men are in
the business of warfare, but they're
also in the business of giving pro-
lection to America. They're as an
ti-Nazi as the great bulk Of Ameri-
can opinion, but they're not anx-
ious to go any place to fight. IF
a fights coming, they'll be in it
plenty" bud asserted.
At Randolph they constantly
shift men about. Dudley has had
some experience in instruction of
ground classes, besides his work
with the weather office, and also
has some 80 hours of flying time.
They try to make you versatile"
he said. The first time he tried to
land a plane, he couldn't find the
ground. He laughed, Il got about
four feet from it, couldn't seem
to touch, so I just dropped the
plane" It bounced readily.
For his parents the visit was a
complete surprise. They had ex-
pected him in July but had under
stood that all leaves had been can
celled in the new U. S. prepared
ness program.
THE fact that leaves would be
cancelled was an unofficial rumor
but it had some grounds at that"
Dudley said. And he indicated it
may come to pass. Randolph Field
is buzzing and the new defense pro-
posal is busying the rush of cadets
and enlisted men alike.
In the service since last Septem-
Der, Dudley has found career to
interest him, and one he feels in
which there is something to offer.
His leave ends June oath. He'll
leave Sank Centre few days be-
fore to insure his hitch-hiking ar

County Commissioner Lawrence
Herzog gave an explanation Of the
county's part in the project and
he assured the local men that the
commissioners would give their
support to the program.
John Mondloch explained the
river Strengthening project and its
possibilities. He stated that the
project needed the cooperation of
everyone in the community and he
urged that club members take an
active part in giving momentum
to the project.
The balance Of the evening was
spent in discussion of the propos-
ais and various questions were an
swered with the final result that
the club voted it's complete sup
port to this splendid project.
A motion, duly seconded and
carried unanimously, instructed
President Lloyd Blycker, of the
Community Club, to appoint two
committees; one to meet with the
City Council members to ask for
a WPA project to carry out the
proposed plans; the other to make
a sketch Of the rearing pond and
get the necessary information and
advise from the Conservation De-
partment.
During the evening the Sank
Centre Legion band, in concert and
demonstration, entered the room
and serenaded the club members
and their guests.
This was really profitable meet
ing, and although the information
was not as thorough as expected,
it was enough to continue the study
Of the project. If it should be
found that we cannot build pike
