New Highway Route
ToSt. Petersburg, Fla,
Via L. S. No. l Open

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, Dec. 13.
the annual southwark trek
Of Eastern residents begins in ear
nest around the Christmas holidays,
those whose destination lies in and
around the st. Petersburg area will
find a new direct highway COM
pleted to the Gulf region.
Partially finished in 1899 and 1910
and finally completed and dedicated
this past summer, the new artery,
properly called the West Coast trail,
starts with Waycross, Ga, as its
northern terminus and strikes di-
rectly southwark through Lake City
to Tampa and st. Petersburg. This
new route eliminates the previous
need of entering Florida via Jack
sonville and the East coast and
taking devious routes west to the
Gulf of Mexico.
Key construction in the new ar
terry is a 67-mile stretch just west
of Waycross, Ga, extending south
In an almost straight line through
the heart of the Georgia and Florida
scenic pine belt to intersect U. S. Al
at Lake City, gateway to Florida for
all travel from the West. Following
U. S. Al south, the road leads to
Brooksville and the start Of the 30
mile stretch Of new dual concrete
roadbed leading toward Tampa.
AS compared with the route via
Daytona Beach and Orlando, hith-
erto the most travelled method of
reaching St. Petersburg. the new
highway saves 81 miles. Large con-
gested cities are avoided in the 264-
mile stretch between Waycross and
Tampa.
The new highway, starting at
Waycross on U. S. /, makes use OF
U. S. "a for the 16 miles to Homer

Southern California
Features 'Beachin9'

LOS ANGELES. Dec. 13.-"Beach-
ing is a sport native to the warm,
sunny beaches of Southern Cali
fornia. 1t consists of such exciting
pastimes as digging clans as big as
a mans head out of the ocean surf
and exploring the rocky bases OF
headlands.
Chasing crabs and hunting star
fish, shells and other marine speci-
mems are other "beaching" activities
that flourish along the sandy, white
beaches and promontory rocks from
Santa Barbara TO San Diego. Many
vacationists gather strange, tangled
seaweed to take home with them.
One of the interesting features Of
the second All-Winter Sun Festival
is skin diving" This fisherman
wears only trunks and glasS-front
mask over his eyes and equips his
feet with big rubber fms SO he can
swim faster With a spear in his
hand, he dives down 20 to 40 feet
and pounces upon a fish with his
spear. Skin divers" will be taking
abalone this way until mid-January.

Bobsledding Course
Opens December 20
At Lake Placid

LAKE PLACID, N. Y, Dec. 13.-
There's a thrill in the smack Of a
driver against a golf ball, the hoof
beats of thoroughbred in a closely
contested race or the roar OF high
powered racing car, but another real
thrill in the sports world is sung in
the roar of steel runners on steel
blue ice at mile-a-minute speeds
.. whether you are a passenger on
one of the steel moguls of the ice
track or just a spectator in the
stands of the world-famous Zig Tag,
watching racing crews flash by with
gale speed.
These thrills are a daily occur
renee at Lake Placid, where the
Mount Van Hoevenberg Olympic Bob
Sled Run, the only run of interna-
tional specifications on the North
American continent, is located. From
December 20 to March l each winter
the mile-long slide of ice and snow
is open for public riding, with two
and four man races each week end.
The run is operated by the New
York State Conservation Depart
ment, and a staff of expert profess
sional drivers is on duty daily to
pilot the sleds that annually carry
thousands of young. middle-aged
and elderly devotees of winter
sports down the straightaways and
through the sweeping curves of the
run. Each passenger sled is manned
by pilot and brakeman, carrying
three passengers from the half
mile start and two from the mile
starting point.
The 1941-42 racing schedule opens
on Sunday, December %, with a
novice four-man race from the
half mile, and continues throughout
the winter, climaxing with the
classic of the bobsled racing season,
the National A. A. U. Four-Man
Championship and Billy Fiske Me-
mortal Trophy Race on Sunday,
February %. In this event the top
flight drivers and crews of the
Nation compete for the coveted team
title of national champions and for
the privilege of having their name
inscribed on the Fiske Memorial
Trophy. A champion bobsledder
Fiske was killed in action over the
English Channel last year while
serving as an American with the
r. A. F.

Okefenokee Wildlife Refuge under
supervision of the United States
Biological Survey. At Fargo. the
motorist crosses the Suwanee River,
immortalized in Stephen Fosters
ballad, and the site of the Stephen
Foster Memorial.
BY the construction of the West
Coast trail, a new complete loop
around Florida is formed with Way
cross as the starting point. The
motorist, even if bound for Miami,
can proceed either down the East
coast or down the West coast of
Florida and across the Everglades
via the Tamiami trail.

Talked in Primaries
To Keep Party Liberal, ,
Roosevelt Explains
Was Not Trying to Dictate
How People Should Vote,
He Writes in Magazine

Nv the Associated Press
NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-President
RooseYelts S personal explanation of
his participation in some primary
campaigns in 1888 an act criti-
cized in some quarters as purge"
is that his chief interest was to
continue the Democratic party "as
the liberal, forward looking, pro-
aressive party in the United States, "
Writing in the current issue of
Golfers Magazine, the President
said in his third article of 4 Sc
ries that he was not interested in
personalities nor in particular meas
ures but in seeing TO it that the
Democratic party and the Repub-
hcan party should not be merely
Tweededum and Tweedledee to
each other"
Says Name Was Misused.
THE primary campaigns in which
actively spoke" he said, con
sisted of one congressional CAM
paign in my own home State New
York.. one senatorial campaign in
my other home State of Georgia,
one in Kentucky " and one
senatorial campaign in the State of
Maryland, where I was accompanied
by the chairman of the Democratic
National Committee.
1t must be remembered also that
in some of these States, and in
some other States, a definite misuse
was being made OF my name by one
candidate or the other falsely claim
ing that I favored his election.
Under such circumstances I eXer-
cised my clear right to speak out
In the interest of truth"
Not Trying to Dictate.
Asserting that in these primary
speeches he made it clear he was
not trying to dictate to the people
of any State as to how they should
vote, Mr.. Roosevelt declared:
What I was trying to do was to
impress upon them the necessity of
voting for liberal condidates-if they
wanted a continuation of the liberal
kind OF government which they had
had since 1888.
Looking back on the domestic
Issues of 1887 and 1888. there is
much satisfaction in realizing that
the American people. as whole,
were not taken in by the bitter
accusations and dire predictions OF
those who cried Dictatorship i'm
minent bankruptcy or 'strangula-
ton of business
The political struggle of 1898
had not been in vain Liberalism
In government was still triumph
