Mike Davis Out to Break
World Record for Sit-Ups
Mike Davis, senior at Dallas Senior High School, will attempt to
do over 17,000 sit-ups this week, in order to break the world’s
record.
A promising young athlete at
Dallas Senior High School will
attempt to break the world’s
record for sit-ups at the high
school gymnasium today
(Thursday), if he gets final
clearance from the school
administration and if all goes
well with him.
Michael Davis, a senior, was
to begin his record-breaking
endeavors this morning, and in
order to break the record of
17,000 sit-ups, would have to
continue at his task for 10 or
more hours.
The record 17,000-sit-ups was
done by a U. S. Marine, and
local Marines have evidenced
an interest in Mike’s efforts to
break the record.
The son of Mr. and Mrs. Grant
Davis, Midland Avenue, Dallas,
Mike has been in the National
physical fitness program for the
past two years. He has per-
formed as many as 4,000 sit-ups
at one time, and it was easy for
him, according to his brother.
Area Residents Tell Why
They Support United Fund
The Wyoming Valley United
Fund campaign ends today, and

53.5 percent of its goal of
$1,503,000. The metropolitan
division of the Back Mountain
had reached 71.4 percent of its
quota of $10,400.
A representative of the United
Fund contacted a few Back
Mountain residents and asked
them the question, “Why do you
support the United Fund?”.
replies from R. H. Demmy,
Dallas, vice president of UGI
Corp., = Luzerne Electric
Division; Richard F. Laux,
Dallas vice president and
cashier, United Penn Bank; and
Robert Masoner, Dallas,
district manager of Bell

Wyoming Valley, the
development of its most vital
resources, its people, we at UGI

“As a banker and community
oriented citizen, I recognized
many years ago the very grave
responsibility that community
leaders have towards assisting
the welfare and health agencies
to adequately provide for the
needs of the area’s citizens.
Through many years of serving
in various capacities with the
Wyoming Valley United Fund, I
have become convinced that the
Fund provides the most
economical vehicle for chan-
neling annual campaign dollars
to the agencies, that will do the
most good for our many worthy
and needy citizens. Since my
philosophy has always been to
devote my time, energy and
talents to those community
activities which will produce
the most good for the greatest
number of people, I am pleased
to have the opportunity to say
that the Wyoming Valley United
Fund has received the greatest
portion of my community
allocated time.
**My most fervent hope is that
in the coming campaign, yet
more and more fine people of
Wyoming Valley will become
aware of the very great service
performed by the United Fund
and its member agencies. I
trust that more of our citizens
will make a firm commitment
to Fair Share giving.

“I support the Wyoming
Valley United Fund with my
time and money because it is a
good investment. Living in the
community, I can see the
benefits made available to my
family, friends and neighbors
by the 37 member agencies. It is
comforting to know that better
than 90 percent of my gift
reaches the person who has a
need that can be served by a
local agency. This is possible
largely because of the
tremendous number of
volunteer workers. I am happy
to be numbered among this
group of volunteers.
Robert Masoner
Until recently the world’s
record was held by a. man who
did 3,964 sit-ups—so Mike could
easily have surpassed that
mark.
Since Sept. 1, the Dallas
athlete has been training under
Clint Brobst, but kept in shape
during the summer months.
He said he saw the Marine
who holds the record on
television, and this inspired him
to attempt to break the record.
The 17-year-old student admits
he wants to break the record
because ‘‘it’s there.”
