National Unity Stressed
in Talks; Park and
Dam Dedicated
By DOUGLAS B. CORNELL
NEWFOUND GAP, Tennessee
North Carolina Line- Sept. l.-UPl
President Roosevelt sternly In
formed the American people to
night that to remain free they
must steel themselves for sacri
fices, achieve absolute national
unity, and "prepare in a thousand
ways" to defend their country and
their: liberties.
"The greatest attack that has
evsr been launched against free
dom of the Individual, he said,
"is nearer the Americas than ever
before.
"To meet that attack we must
prepare beforehand for prepar
Ing later may and probably would
be too late."
The spirit cf the pioneer la
needed, Mr. Roosevelt contended.
But the nation also needs modern
arms and trailed men. Dangers
far more- deadly than frontiers
man had to face, he said, can not
be met with "pltehforks and
squirrel rifles or even with the
training or the weapons ex ue
war of 1217 and 1211."
Great Smoky Pork
Is Dedicated
He spoke solemnly, dedicating
the Great Smoky mountains na
tional park , to "the free people
of America."
People from several states
gathered to beat the president at
a jaile high spot oa the Trans-
Mountain highway, wnere Ten
nessee and North Carolina meet.
Mr. Roosevelt arrived here al
ter, a 170-mile tram ana motor
trip from , Chattanooga. Tenn.,
where he spoke this morning.
He emphasised defense and
danger In the earlier speech, too.
In it he dedicated Chlckamauga
dam and the TVA's system of
lakes along the Tennessee valley
to the "total defense of the United
States of America." And he said
that America today faces "a time
of peril" nnmatched in world
history.
Much the same thought was
earned over into the address here.
"Today we no longer face In
dians and hard and lonely strug
gles with nature," he said. "And
also we have grown soft In many
ways.
"If we are to survive, we ean
not he soft In a world In which

early yesterday and by noon Mr.
Leo Epltxbart, who Just likes te .
have lots of people around hie
fair, could look over the parking
lots and up and down the midway
and feel very, happy.
It was a big day at th Oregon
state fair aad the crowd that
thronged th grounds, poked It
wsy into the stock barns and th
exhibit buildings, bet some money
at the races and tried a rid er
two on the nldway came pretty
close to being a record.
Ehewers la th afternoon and a
cold breexe at night kept th nlgnt-
gat from keeping pace with the
day take; even so attendance
slighUy exceeded last year's rec
ord of 29.000 cash customers, aad
receipts registered a more sub
stantial gain'because more persoa
drove their cars through the gates.
It was a large fair for a large
crowd." Newly painted buildings,
massed flowers, an array of ex
hibits and displays larger than
ever greeted the throngs.
