r k Security Conference One of the world's greatest meetings is scheduled to take place at San Francisco April 25, when delegates of many nations meet to consider the forming of a world security organization. The aim of that organization, to m'aintain peace and prevent wars, has been an objective for which mankind had dreamed and hoped since earliest history. Walrs have been the greatest evil that has afflicted the human race. They have produced infinite sorrow and misery, -reduced -countless nations to proverty, and hampered the progtress of the world. Can this meeting be any more successful, where so many hopes have failed ? One thing is sure, that the nations that have won this war have the power to prevent any more such conflicts, if they can agree how to use that power. Their industrial develop- fment is such that no group of countries can compare with them. As success in war depends largely on industrial development, their power can prevent any warlike country from developing military power—if—and it is a big if—if they are willing to use it. Neither one of these nations Wanted this war. It was forced upon them. They realize as never before what a terrible thing war is. Without doubt they will make great sacrifices to keep war from breaking out again. The American people disagree with the Russian ideas of economics and government, but they agree with the Russians about war. Tlie two countries with their divergent views, should be able to work together harmoniously on this effort to keep war from breaking out. So the country hopes for the best.possible results, at San Francisco. The hopes of the world go with this meeting. It is to be hoped that all nations will be willing to make whatever coneessi*^uAJ^***iwe'*ssa-i^-*3MSfii*feWii"*- meeting can be made a BucciiW* ™.r&^ r^*?^!^? ' *■* ' "i* "r,gs:ps«-"M1qftl*J1:, vbr. What About Germany? Everyone else has ventured an opinion as to what must be done with Germany, so here is my two cents worth. The advice given to date ranges all the way from maudlin sympathy for a "poor misguided people," to a Nazi-like cry for revenge. But it seems to me that the one thing that has been overlooked is—what are we trying to acomplish? Do we want another war? Or do we want peace based upon a firm foundation of justice? To those who plead for leniency, I would ask—"Are you willing to open the jails in your own town and let the thieves and murderers loose upon your own family?" To those who cry for revenge, I would recommend the seventh verse of the eighth chapter of the Gospel according to St. John. Some advocate the backing of an anti-Nazi Group. That is good—provided the. group comes from within, and has established its good by direct action against the Nazis. This cannot be a group from without or under foreign domination for as such it cannot win the German People. The regeneration must come from within. We must, as Lord Vansittart put it, break Germany of its national fallacy that only the weak repent. To which he added: "There are just men in Germany, but they are always out." Although the public does not realize it, the organizated German trade unions were the first group to be destroyed by Hitler. Next came the Jews. Then the Catholics. From the scattered remnants of the democratic elements may come the rebirth of Germany—but the move must come from them. All we can do is to give them opportunity to act. We cannot permit the continued enslavement of the worker and leave free the industrialists and the Junkers. Nazism is only today's mask of German imperialism. Here is a warning from the past: "Justice is the only possible basis for the settlements of the accounts of this terrible war. Justice is what Germany shall have. But it must be justice for all. There must be justice for the dead and wounded, and for all those who have been orphaned and bereaved that Europe might be freed from Prussian despotism." It was Wbodrow Wilson who said that in 191'9. Our sentimentalists destroyed it*.'What will we do? We cannot and we do not want to -destroy a nation, but we can wipe out the cancer at the heart of that nation. This time the cure must be permanent even if the-knife cuts deep. The German ^people must earn their way back to health. Until they have done so, there is no place for Germany in the society of nations. k.

Taber Dies Unexpectedly Tuesday in St. Cloud, Florida Edwin A. Taber, 82, of Portage St., who had been spending the winter with his wife and daughter, Mrs. Ruth T. Wilson in St. Cloud, Fla., died unexpectedly there Tuesday morning. Mr. Taber was well known in Canton as a Bible class teacher. For 30 years he taught a young men's class at First Christian church which now bears his name. He began teaching Bible classes when 26 years of age while he lived in Bradford, Pa: He came to Canton about 30 years ago and organized the class at First Christian church which has had more than two hundred members in recent years. One of his characteristic actions was the custom he established of taking a group of class members to Canada, where he owned a cabin, each summer for several weeks of fishing. In recent years another hobby of his was to see that members of his class in the armed I services received letters regularily. i In addition to this class activities he was also an elder in the church. Mr. Taber had retired from active work as a mechanic when he was employed by the United Engineering & Foundry Corp. However, when the manpower shortage became acute, hs returned to work at various war plants. Recap or Else Apparently we haven't even yet "turned the corner" on the '"rubber crisis, in spite of the miracle of synethetic rubber production—scheduled to reach a million tons this year. The problem of keeping essential traffic rolling will be actually tougher this summer than ever. The reason is that military demands are still soaring, and shortages of carbon black and other materials used in tire manufacture further complicate the situation. Joseph A. Hoban, tire division merchandise manager of the B. F. Goodi-ich company, in a talk in Cleveland the other day cited estimates that 46 million passenger car tires need l-eplacement or recapping, but that the total of all new and recapped passenger ear tires that can be made available this year will probaby be less than 35 million— only three-fourths of, the tires needed right now! The 46 million estimate was based on an examination of autos in war-plant I parking areas. Four-fifths off all war workers go to and from "workin. private autos. ._ Seniors Win High State Rating in Scholarship General Scholarship Tests for AH Classes Next Friday Robert Ebe*t, North Canton high school senior placed. 19th in the entire state - in the general senior scholarship examinations which ■were giv- n on March 9.

On Friday, April 27, 14S students from the high school will take the genera] state scholarship examinations for all classes. The tests will be given at each school. James Chatman Meets Cousin in Germany T/4 James G. Chatman of North Canton R. D., serving with the 44Sth AAA of the 35th Infantry division in Germany, had a reunion with his cousin. Pvt. Harold Miller recently. Pvt. Miller, who works for the 29th Division APO noted a bag of mail for the 35th Division.

Son of North Cantonite Killed on Iwo March 15 Youtli Was With Marines Who Raised Flag on Mt, Sut'ibachi Ernie Pyle Killed in Pacific; G. /. Joe Loses Best Friend Ernie Pyle is dead. The little man who made G. I. Joe the most important man in the U. S. army met his death on Tuesday from a Jap machine gun on a little island 3 miles off Okinawa. Millions |of readers -who followed his daily columns in papers throughout the country, and every G. I. who ever knew him, will mourn him as a dearly loved friend. Announcement of his death was flashed over the radio Wednesday morning, followed later by more details of the tragedy. Called the "conscience of a nation" because- he had the good of the common man at heart, Ernie Pyle was hailed wherever he went. When he returned last year from the European theater of war hs came back as a man sick unto death of the destruction he had seen. Yet only a few months later he was on his way to the Pacific theater, a journey that ended so trag- " ically this week on the sands of an obscure little island. Like hundreds of the men he wrote about, Ernie Pyle died a hero —doing the job he set out to do, and doing it well. America will, miss him in the days ahead—miss the whi.r.sical little stories that he sent out to the folks back home. Stories of the little men that only he could tell so well. All of America, and particu- ly G. I. Joe has lost the best friend they ever had. On .March 0 Pvt. O. Edward Schott, son ol* E. J. Schott of .Valley*- Blvd. took time out from the fighl-jjng on Iwo J ima to write a l-Sttejfcwf'his sister in Akron, telling-her, he had come through the battle untouched, and thanking God for his safety. It was the first battle in which the 19-year-old ravine had participated. Last week 'the joy over his safety came to an abrupt end when a tele."ram from, the war department announced his death on the fateful island on March 15. A member of the Fifth Marine division, Pvt. Schott was among th( marines who raised the flag on Mt. Suribachi, and in a lettei to his sister, Mrs. Howard Stewart of Akron, had requested picture? of the action on Iwo Jima and or tho rount be kept for him. The vouth, a former student at Canal Fulton high school enterer" service in April, 1944. arid wen' overseas last September. He was a member of Sts. Phillip and Jamef church of Canal Fulton and war employed "bv the Firestone Rubber Ct. He resided with his sister ir Akron. Waste Papier Drive Next Week Hoover Co. Cancels Plans for Expansion to Massillon Plant As a result of recent Allied victories and the cutback-of-.ammunition production ordered by the government, the Hoover Co., has cancelled plans for opening its Massillon plant to expand its output of shell and mortar, fuses. Remodeling of the former Fort Pitt Bridge Works plant at Massillon for the Hoover Co. • is about 50 per cent completed. Operations were scheduled to commence in May and reach peak production by September. , A nation wide cut of 10 per cent 'ii ammunition production schedules reflects the trend of the war. Twelve tank plants now under construction will not be completed because of the favorable progress of the war. Cancellation of the expansion does not affect production in the other plants. Canton Civic Opera Association to Present "Mignon" May 3,4 "Mignon", the popular opera by Thomas,- will be presented by the Canton Civic Opera association at the" Lincoln high school auditorium in Canton on May 3 and 4, under the direction of Mr. Alberto Bimboni of the faculty of Juilliard of Music, New York City. Guest artists for the production will be the young* Metropolitan Opera star, Donald Dame, a native Clevelander, who will appear as Wilhelm. Roles carried by local singers for the first production will include Gertrude Harvey Dick as Mignon, Georgia Shrigley as Filina, Ruth La Vonne Clapper as Frederic, Georgia-Kantzer as Lothario, Robert Hickes as Laertes and Stuart Phillips as Giarno. On Friday evening there will be two changes, with Martha Blum as Filina and Catherine Albers as Frederic. There will be incidental ballet performance and members of Canton symphony will form the orchestra for the opera. Standing room was sold for last spring's presentation of Romeo and Juliet and it is likely the forthcoming production will prove to be the same. Besides the verv beautiful music of Mignon, the story with its happy-conclusion is a most enjoyable one for all to enjoy. Funeral Held Saturday for Mrs. Holzbach Funeral services were held Saturday morning at 9:30 o'clock in St. Mary's church in Massillon for Mrs. Eugenia Holzbach, 75, of McDonaldsville, who died last Thursday in Massillon City hospital after an illness of three weeks.

A huge stack of large boxes, filled with warm, clothing and bedding, a shoes fill one end of-the council room at the vil- large hall this week. And each box is clear testimony that the folks of North Canton are willing to share what thhey have with others who have not. Mrs. -Foster Crawford, chairman of the packing committee, remarked that practically all the articles contributed were in excellent condition and were greatly appreciated- .,.,.,- The overwhelming load of c!Mh- ing that came in the first eveSnng-- kept the staff of volunteer v§t*at- ers busy the next day sortingeaaaLl^ packing .the clothes. Each day thereafter the amount kept increasing until the end of the week-when the door to door drive was ended. More than 150 large boxes of clothing have now been .packed and are awaiting shipment. Meanwhile other small quantities of clothing that, had been missed or overlooked have continued to come into the village hall. These contributions will -be accepted until the end of ■ the month when the national drive ends. Alfred T. Hall, chairman of the local drive stated that the results! of the drive were highly satisfactory and expressed his appreciation for the cooperation the workers had received. Members of the various civic clubs in town aided in the collection of the clothing while women club members sorted and packed it. Need for the clothing cannot be be emphasized too greatly. Much of this clothing will be the only protection those who receive it will have against the- approaching winter. Bedding, clothing, and shoes will aid them in rebuilding their lives after the storm of war has passed. And by giving now, the folks of America have shown their willingness to shoulder part of the burden of war, to help those less fortunate than themselves. Shipment of the clothing from North Canton must wait until the avalanche of contributions in Canton have heen handled, as the North Canton boxes -will leave with the sam-e Joad. j{ ^,., t -._. ___ Charles Domino Dies in Home Thursday Charles Domino. 78, a retired farmer, died last Thursday night at his home in Middlebranch after an illness of many weeks.

Millions |of readers -who followed his daily columns in papers throughout the country, and every G. I. who ever knew him, will mourn him as a dearly loved friend. Announcement of his death was flashed over the radio Wednesday morning, followed later by more details of the tragedy. Called the "conscience of a nation" because- he had the good of the common man at heart, Ernie Pyle was hailed wherever he went. When he returned last year from the European theater of war hs came back as a man sick unto death of the destruction he had seen. Yet only a few months later he was on his way to the Pacific theater, a journey that ended so trag- " ically this week on the sands of an obscure little island. Like hundreds of the men he wrote about, Ernie Pyle died a hero —doing the job he set out to do, and doing it well. America will, miss him in the days ahead—miss the whi.r.sical little stories that he sent out to the folks back home. Stories of the little men that only he could tell so well. All of America, and particu- ly G. I. Joe has lost the best friend they ever had. On .March 0 Pvt. O. Edward Schott, son ol* E. J. Schott of .Valley*- Blvd. took time out from the fighl-jjng on Iwo J ima to write a l-Sttejfcwf'his sister in Akron, telling-her, he had come through the battle untouched, and thanking God for his safety. It was the first battle in which the 19-year-old ravine had participated.

Cancels Plans for Expansion to Massillon Plant As a result of recent Allied victories and the cutback-of-.ammunition production ordered by the government, the Hoover Co., has cancelled plans for opening its Massillon plant to expand its output of shell and mortar, fuses. Remodeling of the former Fort Pitt Bridge Works plant at Massillon for the Hoover Co. • is about 50 per cent completed. Operations were scheduled to commence in May and reach peak production by September. , A nation wide cut of 10 per cent 'ii ammunition production schedules reflects the trend of the war. Twelve tank plants now under construction will not be completed because of the favorable progress of the war. Cancellation of the expansion does not affect production in the other plants.

A huge stack of large boxes, filled with warm, clothing and bedding, a shoes fill one end of-the council room at the vil- large hall this week. And each box is clear testimony that the folks of North Canton are willing to share what thhey have with others who have not. Mrs. -Foster Crawford, chairman of the packing committee, remarked that practically all the articles contributed were in excellent condition and were greatly appreciated- .,.,.,- The overwhelming load of c!Mh- ing that came in the first eveSnng-- kept the staff of volunteer v§t*at- ers busy the next day sortingeaaaLl^ packing .the clothes. Each day thereafter the amount kept increasing until the end of the week-when the door to door drive was ended. More than 150 large boxes of clothing have now been .packed and are awaiting shipment. Meanwhile other small quantities of clothing that, had been missed or overlooked have continued to come into the village hall. These contributions will -be accepted until the end of ■ the month when the national drive ends. Alfred T. Hall, chairman of the local drive stated that the results! of the drive were highly satisfactory and expressed his appreciation for the cooperation the workers had received. Members of the various civic clubs in town aided in the collection of the clothing while women club members sorted and packed it. Need for the clothing cannot be be emphasized too greatly. Much of this clothing will be the only protection those who receive it will have against the- approaching winter. Bedding, clothing, and shoes will aid them in rebuilding their lives after the storm of war has passed. And by giving now, the folks of America have shown their willingness to shoulder part of the burden of war, to help those less fortunate than themselves. Shipment of the clothing from North Canton must wait until the avalanche of contributions in Canton have heen handled, as the North Canton boxes -will leave with the sam-e Joad. j{ ^,., t -._. ___ Charles Domino Dies in Home Thursday Charles Domino. 78, a retired farmer, died last Thursday night at his home in Middlebranch after an illness of many weeks.
