UNION PRESS-COURIER Thursday, March 8th, 1946, PAGE FOUR Patton Courier, Estab, Oct. 1893. | Union Press, Estab. May 1935 UNION PRESS-COURIER Published every Thursday by Thos A. Owens, 723 Fifth Avenue, Pat- ton, Pa., and entered as second :lass mail matter May 7, 1936, at the postoffice at Patton, Pa., under the Act of March 3, 1879. F. P. Cammarata ... Business Mgr. Thos. A. Owens .... . Editor Chos. Owens, Jr., Associate Editor (In Overseas Military Service) Subscription, $2 a Year in Advance Advertising Rates on Application The endeavor of the Union Press- Courier is to sincerely represent Union Workers in their efforts to btain economic freedom, particu- larly as advocated by the United Mine Workers of America. We so- iteit the support of All Unions. Material for publication must be 1uthorized by the organization it represents, signed by the Presi- dent and Secretary, and bear the seal of the Local. The Union Press-Courier gives its advertisers the advantage of the combined circulation of the two largest circulated weeklies in Cam- bria County and has a reader cov- | be the work of one man or one party | or one nation.’ | sok oo THE UNITED NATIONS STAND pat on the demand that Germany must submit to an unconditional sur-| render. This action, the President sta- | ted, “means the complete disarma-| ment of Germany, the destruction of | | its militarism and nulitary equipment, the end of its production of arma- ment.” Certainly no one outside the | enemy countries will protest this| policy. The Allies must take positive action so that Germany will never ag- ain be able to disturb the peace of the world. Akko ok THE PRESIDENT RIGHTFULLY warned that “the defeat of Germany will not mean the end of the war ag- ainst Japan. On the contrary, Ameri- | ca must be prepared for a long and | | costly struggle in the Pacific.” All of | [us may well pay attention to the | statement. While the war against Ja- pan is progressing satisfactorily, | | there will be an ever increasing need for production of war materiel. | |THE SPEED WITH WHICH ALLIED armies on the western front are ap- | proaching the Rhine has led many | commentators to assume that the Na- | | zi forces are on the verge of collapse {and no longer have any intention of | | seriously opposing the onrush of their foes. Such an assumption wrongfully erage that blankets Patton and the major mining towns. Re ELSEWHERE IN THIS ISSUE OF The Union Press-Courier will be | takes from the Allied forces—Ameri- i can, Canadian and British—some of | the credit that is justly due them. Our {armies on the Western front have {been developed into a magnificent fi- | ghting machine. They have won their | present advanced positions against an | enemy that has thrown everything it | had at them. Casualties have been | heavy, evidence enough surely, that the Germans are no push-over and that our boys have not been enjoy- ing a holiday. | | TRUE,THE GERMANS ARE GROW- | | ing progressively weaker, but that | is because they have met foemen| | worthy of their steel and because our! offensive strategy has overcome the| found the annual auditors’ report of handicap of flooded terrain and bitter | Patton Borough, the Patton Recrea-|weather.

Ballots for | the election last November were mailed to everybody believed to be entitled to vote, from lists made up in advance. It helped military voting by not putting on the absentees the burden of applying for ballots. Washington.—War time conditions| | have brought about a tremendous in-| | crease in the sickness rate among in-| | dustrial workers, a United States | Public Health Service expert report- | ed this week. The rate among 200,000 industrial workers for the third quarter of the | | | | THE NORMAL ELECTION TIME- | last year was 70 per cent higher than table in even-numbered years is ad- | apted to such procedure, because the | primary comes in April or May and | there is ample time to find out who | is nominated, prepare the ballots and mail them. But the time between the , September primary and the Novem- | ber election in odd-numbered years | is entirely too short. |! IN ITS SEARCH FOR A PRIMARY | day this year that would allow more | time to turn around, the legislature | has hit upon June 19th. It may be a bit early to be turning on the heat under the local political pots, but the Legislature hadnt much leeway. Nobody wants a primary during Ju- ly or August. Even with the date set for June 19th, the timetable will per- mit nomination petitions to begin to | circulate on March 10th—and that is | in tne corresponding period in 1938. W. M. Fafafer, principal statistic- ian for the Health Service said in| Public Health Reports that the fol- lowing conditions could be listed as adverse factors: 1-—Increased employment of youth and the older worker. 2—Hiring of workers long unem-| ployed, of the inexperienced, and of many persons excluded from the ar-| med forces for one reason or anoth- | er | 3—Emotional strains and personal | mental conflicts. 4—Overcrowding in the plant. | 5—Lowered physical standards for | employment. | 6 —The lengthened work week with | its attendant fatigue. | 7—Night work. | - SNAPSHOTS OF PATTON CHILDREN Below is another series of child- ren’s pictures, taken some time ago by the Woltz Studios of Des Moines, Iowa, and these pictures will be pub- lished in the order they arrive from | the studios.

MARINES ARE IN NEED OF MORE DOGS “Send us more dogs” is the call from Marines in the South Pacific. ‘Doberman - Pinscher or German Shepherd dogs are valuable in battl- ing the Japs, as vatuabie as live am- munition,” say the Leathernecks who have been using these breeds ever since Bougainville, with great suc- cess. One hundred and fifty more Dob- erman-Pinscher or German Shepherd dogs are needed by January 31st. Only male dogs between one and four years of age are now accepted. These dogs should be about 27 inches high and weigh about 70 pounds, be of clean blood lines, healthy and ag- gressive, but not vicious. Inquiries | should be directed to the U. S. Ma- rine Corps Recruiting Office, Old Post Office Bldg, Pittsburgh, Pa. “These dogs are trained primarily for scout, messenger, and sentry du- ties, although sometimes they are used to guide First Aid Units to helpless and hidden Marine wounded | and to carry ammunition. It has been said that under some conditions a dog can do the work of three Marine runners on foot, three times effectively or swiftly. Dogs used as scouts are sent ahead of Ma- rine patrols, with their handlers. They are trained to pick up the scent of any human being and taught nev- er to bark. Messenger dogs carry | messages from scouts or commanding officers. The messages are rolled in- to small cylinders and fitted into a recess in the leather collar of the dog. | The silent whistle is used by Marines | to direct and command their dogs this whistle is pitched too high to be audible to human ears. The Marine Corps selects its dogs! as carefully as it selects its fight- | ing men, and trains them equally as | well. The kennels in which the dogs are housed are clean, modern, and | built in such a way as to prevent all | drafts. Their food is carefully selec- | ted, and they receive adequate med- | ical attention. Each dog has two | | chase of new indexes for the offices indication whatsoever of what child- ren’s pictures will be next in order, we can give no indication of any date upon which they will be published.

By the time the dog and his handlers are ready to go Jap-hunt- ing the team is very nearly perfect | and the traditional loyalty of a dog for his master is very evident. In some cases the dog will if necessary, give his life to save the life of one or both of his handlers. The German Shepherd and Doberman-Pinscher type have been found to be the best dogs for combat, and male dogs are preferred because they are less apt to be gun-shy, and do not suffer from “battle nerves” as quickly as female dogs. —V. ORDER NEW INDEXES FOR COUNTY RECORDER The Cambria County Court last week signed an order for the pur- of recorder of deeds and the county treasurer. The indexes for the recor- der’s office will cost $35,579.12 and those for the county treasurer $6,200. The index committee consisting of Attorneys Philip N. Schettig, Morgan W. Evans, and Edward J. Harkins, petitioned the court for the order af- ter pointing out that the old indexes are inadequate and that they have been in use for 21 years. The Russell Index Co. of Pittsburgh has been awarded the contract for copying the current indexes, comparing them, writing the cosed indexes and furnish- in all books and other necessary sup- plies. el BIRD IMPACT WINDSHIELDS.

JOSEPH ried over into combat, when the two | PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT IN HIS | 16-0z. jar 13¢ = | RED BEETS and address to Congress and the Nation last Thursday clarified some of the results of the Crimea conference. He was particularly frank in his state- ment regarding some of the agree- ments reached by himself, Mr. Chur- chill and Mr. Stalin. Many Ameri- cans have harbored the belief that be- cause of our contribution to the cause of the United Nations, we have things our own way. But as Mr. ! Roosevelt stated: “The United States will not always have its way 100 per cent. Nor will Russia or Great Brit- ain.” FAIRMINDED AMERICANS WILL agree that from a practical view- point, at least, we cannot expect more. However, if there are compro- mises made among the Big Three, we should at least come out on top as many times as will Great Britain and Russia. This policy of compromise was present at the conference. ticularly was this true in the decision relating to the boundaries of Poland. In discussing this involved problem, the President said: “I am convinced that the agreement on Poland under the circumstances is the most hope- Polish dependent and prosperous State.” dk de ke DISCUSSING FUTURE PEACE, Mr. Roosevelt emphasized a point | which has been similarly dealt with by Republicans and Democrats alike. | The comparatively few isolationists may well ponder these words of the | President: “We shall have to take the responsibility for world collaboration | or we shall have to bear the respon- sibility for another world conflict.” LE EE EH Par- | The solemn novena in honor of St.! | Joseph, Patron of the Church, will open at the Carmelite Monastery on | Sunday, March 11th and close on March 19th, the feast of St. Joseph.| gh ana : = 2OO00OOOANNOBAANNNNANNNNNAANNNANNANNANEAANNNANOAONNG. , The monthly novena in honor of the | , Little Flower will he made at the same time.
