Your contribution will help It is beginning to dawn upon the Old-Line Re- pubiicans that the nomination for President of a Johnny-come-lately like Willkie, who unti] a few Tears ago wR voling against them, was an awful blow to the wheel-horses of the party who have stood fast in prosperity and adversity. The season- ed veterans have had to take a rear seat while the new recruit steps right into first place. He is the cemmander-in-chief, although he has never fought a battle. The Petain government, now in control of France, may not be Fascist but no son of a seventh sen is required to see that the old marshal thinks the bread of France is buttered on the German side Apparently, it will be only a question of time before French life Is reorganized along the lines of Nazi Germany. Propaganda will gradually convince the people that the nation was misled In the war by Democratic England. In time, unless the grip of Hit- ler is released, democracy will be a byword in France Centre county is entering into the huckieberry season, and indications are that a bountiful crop will be harvested, This is due to the rainfall this spring being above normal and the favorable grow- ing weather that followed It is interesting to note that Pennsylvania has seven different species of huckleberries, four of which are of the blueberry variety, The black huckleberry is the most important and has the widest distribution. It grows on rocky hillsides and obtains a height of three feet or more The fruit is light-blue to glossy-black in color and Is firm and sweet, There are many who will agree with General John J. Pershing that the best thing the United States can do is to supply Great Britain with suf- ficient munitions and implements of war to enable her to continue the present struggle, If we assume that Great Britain cannot last, even with our assist. ance, it should be obvious that we cannot do any better even if we save everything we have. In fact, the safety of the Uni‘ed States in a world threaten. ed by Germany, Italy and Japan depends absolutely upon the strength of the British and the outcome of the present war in Europe, If our assistance to the British enables them to prolong the war for even a few months longer than would otherwise be pos- sible, the time gained would Le pufchased at a very cheap price.

The previous record was 77,431,500 The unprecedented demand was due to the new de fense fund taxes, it was explained We laugh when we think of Candidate Willkie's statement that, if elected, he plans to curb “both Lig business and big government” and to extermine- ate forever “corrupt political machines.” Would Mr Willkie have the people believe he would turn against his own interests? It wouldn't be surprising if starvation followed shortly in war-torn Europe. Before the collapse of France, Congress, at the request of the President, appropriated $50,000000 for relief of European wal refugees. Just how food and related products can get to Europe through the Britisn naval blockade | one problem involved in the distribution of food to the refugees. Whether the Nazi government will give American Red Cross workers a free hand in distri buting these supplies in German-occupled territory is another The of hardwood freq noticeable this dend throughout the summer is due which made iis insect is interes appearance forest sections 50 to the ravages of the 17-vear locust periodical appearance this year.

Will Willkie his backers? In a speech at Bt Louis Willkie said: “The curse of democ- racy today in the United States az well as in Eu- rope is that everybody has been trying to please the public.” And to indicate the kind of public it was in his view a “curse” to please, he continued: “Al- most nobody ever gets Up and says what he thinks He is afraid that he will thereby lose the approval of labor, or the approval of the unemployed, or the approval of some other powerful faction.” The only groups singled out specifically as the ones whose interests it is a “curse” to consider are laboring men and women and the unfortunates who can't work! gain in an interview with the Washington cor- respondent of the Buffalo News, Mr Willkie said Government is nothing but big business and if I am elected 1 will put the Government on a big business basis, with the effick ney and competence 1 require in my private business.” In plain words, the people's Government would be run with the methods and alms of big business, and private business! How well the expectations of his sponsors and Mr. Willkie's own intentions dovetail! No, Mr. Will- kie will not disappoint big business. He's their man the expectation of the elements behind the W what of the make good for on June 6 Mr pros WHERE DOES DEFENSE BEGIN? Japanese leaders seem to be convinced that Ger. many will win the war in Europe. Consequently, as practical statesmen, looking out for the big oppor- tunity, they announce a policy of close cooperation with the Axis powers The United States continues to cling to the hope that the British can successfully withstand Hitler's assault, In this case, the safety of this na- tion will be assured, If, to our surprise, Hitler over. whelms Great Britain we will face a new world sit- uation and it might be well to understand just what it may be. Germany, Italy and Japan will be working to- gether to extend their recent territorial gains, They will be far stronger than the United States in act- ual fighting units, and may be stronger in produc- tive capacity. This would leave Uncle Sam in a bad fix, with no time to prepare the two-ocean navy, the 50.000 planes and the 1200000 army that we contemplate The Centre Democrat thoroughly subscribes to the doctrine that the United States should stay out of other nations’ wars. That is nothing but good sense. Just the same, we question the wisdom of standing aloof and permitiing any combination of nations to reach a position that threatens the se- curity and existence of this country. For that reason we think it wise for the United States to assist Great Britain in her struggle against Germany and the extent of the assistance should be measured by her need in resisting Germany, Under. stand, our ald to Great Britain would not be extend. ed in the interests of Oreat Britain but as a pro- tection to the United States, We would make It a national policy of the United States to prevent aiy group of hostile nations from becoming strong enough to attack this hemis- phere. Prankly, we would work the “balance of power” reasoning that was used by Oreat Britain for so many years in Europe. Thus, we would at- tempt to avold war always but we would fight, any. time, anywhere, to preserve the balance of power that would prevent other nations from Joining in an attack upon us. i i | very busy meeting July 22nd. at the August 5, 1940, J : THE Orrick CArx “A Little Nonsense Now and Then, In Relished by the Wisest Men” Crisis at the Crossing motorist It said It wasn't Who The read the sign With a sneer Btop, Look and Lisi meant for the engineer sent the whistle's steam continued at high ¢# crossing didn’t seem paid the sign no heed a-hissin’ The car peed The driver sinisteg I'he P. 8 Bermon by the minister Courtesy Rules hie black bo The stuble Now tence?’ Well table “Why Ladies t teacher wro on the ard one Hitle hos teacher, you asked the Change For the Better theatre NOW Living room She bore a pall of oa upon her gaz hey were a ow is the sw She wrinkled he milk ain't m we g Heard in the Night Kr rides wit The Thought It Should Have Been Dirty #on last Bat UrQas back was Just a Friendly Greeting hake hands, bit the Bouth Bes Our Own P rover refer wit wit: fat Ie Our Favorite Optician Says back from WH Y rr eye in the row of a movie pecks in Go Right Ahead walls having ears anyway Neves herr and wouldnt hear straight You Should Row by This Time what a fir] does that fascinates man--it’s what he isn't won't do Knew the Answer boy give TR sent Johnny Teacher Now, can any ence Wing the word diadem.™ Johnny sight quicker BCTOR diadem and rajirond tracks listen ™ carelessly look People who drive than those who stop Different Goal most beautiful, divine and trying to Kid me? to kiss you I'm the gorgeous creature the whole world?
