increase in his gasoline ration for the
next several months. at least not be-
fore the end of the war with Ger

DEWEY SAYS THERE IS
NO INDISPENSABLE MAN
Declared In Portland Speech
That Making OF Peace Must
Not Depend Upon Two Or
Three Persons

Governor Thomas f. Dewey told
the nation Tuesday night in a speech
at Portland, Oregon, that there "are
no indispensable men"
He declared the making of peace
was too important "to be dependent
upon the life span, and continued
friendship of two or three individuals.
"Thc peace we seek must not hang
by the slender thread of personal ac-
quaintancc of any two or three men,
Dewey said Mr. Roosevelt had proved
unable to foster teamwork in his own
administration and between the ad-
ministration and Congress.
Dewey, who held Mr.. Roosevelt di-
rectly responsible in a broadcast in
Seattle Monday night, for most of
the serious wartime strikes" said;
81 want to see peoples peace come
at the end of this war. | want to see
a peace which has been worked out
in the full light of day before all the
world"
"Thc ono indispensable thing to
achieve teamwork and devotion, this
unit in government we have so long
lacked, is change from the indis-
pcnSabe man."
Dcvoting much of his talk to what
he called Washington's continuous
"quarreling, dissension and disunity,'
Dewey declared flatiy that the Re-
publicans will gain control Of the
next Congress and said:
MY opponent has demonstrated
that he cannot work with the present
Democratic Congress. How can he be
expected to get along with the Re-
publican Congress which will certainly
be elected this fall ?"
at is a matter Of common know
ledge that the New Deal has continu-
ously sought for twelve years to
bring the Congress of the United
States into popular disrcpute. As a
result no bill which this admnistra-
ton can propose to Congress is today
received with anything less than sus-
picion. The nation is COW reaping the
bitter fruit Of executive arrogance
toward the elected representatives Of
the people.
IF we have learned any lesson from
watching the rise of facism elsewhere
in the world surely we should have
learned the need for strengthening
not undermining representatives
government"
Governor Dewey is scheduled to
speak this evening from II to 11:30
p. m. from San Francisco, Calf, and
will also speak tomorrow at the same
time from Los Angeles, Cal. On Mon
day, September %, he will speak
from Oklahoma City, Okla, from 10
to 1880.

Milkweed Collection
Underway in Schools
Satisfactory Progress Reported
BY F. E. Rathbun, Chairman
For The County

open mesh sacks have been placed
in all schools in the county," F. E.
Rathbun, Chairman of Garrett County
Milkweed Project, has announced
These sacks arc being filled by pu-
pills of the schools with pods from
milkwccds to he prepared for use in
life jackets instead of the usual Ka-
pok which is no longer available. The
total number of sacks distributed
throughout the schools is 1900, with
requests for additional sacks still
coming in.
Mr.. Rathbun said the pods arc now
ripcning in satisfactory way in
most sections of the county although
in sections Of low altitude they have
ripened a week or ten days ago. The
Friendsvillc schools have filled their
first hundred sacks. and are now
starting to fill the second hundred.
The teachers of the Friendsvillc
school filled five sacks from along
Route 219 and Misses Cora DERRICK
and Doris Friend jointly collected Is
sacks.
A rich and abundant source of
milkwccd pods has been found on
Route 40, just west of keyscr's Ridge,
it was stated. The pupils of Accident
and Grantsvillc schools are preparing
to harvest all of the pods in this
location. There arc other sections
equally as rich that arc being har-
vested by other schools.
The county committee originally
requested 2000 sacks for curing and
delivering these milkweed pods. 1t
now finds it necessary, due to the
interest of the teachers and pupils,
to order an additional supply.
After pods arc cured in the sacks
in accordance with instructions given
in the 6-pagc folder that was de-
livered to all teachers, the county
committee will call at each school to
collect all sacks that have been filled
and cured He said it will likely be
late in October before any bags will
be ready to be collected from the
schools for shipment and paid for
at the rate of 20 cents per sack.
Additional sacks will be sent to any
school requesting them.
A letter has been mailed to Gar
rctt County farmers by John II. Car
ter, as secretary of the County Agri-
culture War Board. The letter re-
quested all farmers to make sure
that all milkwccd pods are collected
either by themselves or by school
children and teachers and that the
pods they collect themselves be de-
livcred to the nearest school.
The county committee has been
gratificd over the interest of school
teachers and pupils and farmers and
all other cooperating individuals.
