The Poor Picket
You know, if I was to pick somebody that I could feel most
sorry for,* I kinda .think, today, that it would be the pickets
walking up and down outside of stores, and shops, etc. Husky-
fellows—not working—but looking kinda sheepish. Put on
.the*) picket line by a guy who will hold to his nice soft job
even if the picket don't work, or eats scanty.
• These fellows walkin' up and down-have just been out-
talked' and out-smarted. That is why I feel sorry for them.
Just why they should be a sucker for the wise-guys bossing
labor, is hard to savvy. Maybe they had a teacher in the
grade school who never told 'em any stories by AEsop. Maybe their mama and papa didn't see to it that they did their
home work. It is a cinch that their Mayflower-blood has
thinned.
But in conclusion, I am still sorry for the pickets. And if
any one of them should cast an eye over1 this essay, I say to
him, buddy, you won't get to first base by ruining the boss'
business—and also, you might have a business of your own
some time.
It is never1 too late to be somebody—in America.

The North Canton Fire Department was called out on two .runs
during the past week.
On Saturday afternoon they
were called to put out a grass fire
near 51st Street. However the fire
call that came at 8 p. m. on Mon
day evening caused considerable
miore damage. A ham on the property of H W. Kattman of Hills
and Dales Road, Canton, was completely destroyed by fire. The stock
and a majority of the machinery
was saved. The Canton Fire department which was first on the
scene called for an assist by the
North Canton Fire Department, to
keep the fire under control.        • - ;
Two LocaS Men Bag 10
Goons on Hunting Trip
Two North Canton men, Char-les
Carper and Ralph Bricker , have
just returned from a weeks coon
hunting trip' in Beaver- County,
Pennsylvania. Leaving here on
Sunday, October 21st, they.bagged
ten coons,.seven of which weighed
between 17 and 21. pounds each,
the balance were younger.
On the last Saturday of their
hunting trip, they were invited to
go hunting to a hollow where a
coon had been chased for the past
three years and still wasn't caught.
So taking his dogs,  Charlie  Car-
United War Fund
Lacking Support
Falls Short of Goal
While those who gave in support
of the United War and Community
Fund were generous with their
gifts, the drive as a whole will fall
short of the required amount to
make it a success.
„It -would seem that isolation isn't
dead but rearing it's head among
the home folk' who seem to .be
turning their hacks on their less
fortunate neighbors, yest even on
their own soldiers
For refusing
to give to the United War Chest
per and Ralph Bricker started out  because they '.Have their Reasons'
on a hunt that proved the prize
one of the trip. Starting to hunt
at 10:00 p. m., after a two hour
chase of about four or five miles
the coon was finally caught on the
ground by Charlie's dogs after it
refused to be treed
The underbrush was so thick
that it took the party a hour to
work their way through to where
the dogs had killed the coon. To
their amazement it was a foxy old
coon and weighed 23 pounds.
Charlie had three- dogs with him
on the chase, and they were very
badly bitten and chewed up.
r
As The Veterans Lands
There are thrilling, scenes. as the veterans coming from
overseas sail up the harbors of American ports, and land
at our docks. One can: hafSly imagine1 their joy as they see
the familiar-sight-o#-an An-ierican-city. -
They -have been fed up with foreign lands and the ancient
dwe$ng of old countries. There is a newness and. a modernity about our cities that strikes them pleasantly, and it suggests that this is a land of hope and progress. The cheering
crowJds on the docks as their ships touch at our ports, is a
thrilling welcome. They scan the faces eagerly, to see if
they can recognize anyone they know, or if members of their
family may be there.
When they get ashore, a telephone call to the family at
home is often their first action. What a thrilling sound it is
to hear the dear voice from' home, and to offer assurance
that they will soon be back to greet the loved ones again.
Hunters In The Woods
The return .of the hunting season is a warning that all who
go out for this sport should be careful in their use of fire-
arims. It is a sad ending of a nice outing spent in this sport,
when the hunter, or someone who has been shot, is brought
home in an ambulance, and has to go to some hospital, or in
some cases has-losthis life.
Some men are said to become nervous and excited at the
sight of -game, and, to shoot wjldly. The man who pulls his
trigger.When he.sees a movement in the bushes, should re?
fleet that that movement may be caused by a hunter and not
by any deer.
The sportsmen should be careful in the use of firearms,
particularly in climbing fences. If they tip over or injure
some farmer's fence or wall, they should rea.lize that they are
making work for the owner,.and they would better fix the
fence themselves if possible. Damage done by careless hunters has-been a reason why many lands owners have put up
"No Trespass" signs.
Big Renovation J oh
One of the great enterprises which will provide employment for millions of people after the war, will be the renovation of-homes. Figures as to how that work has been impeded by wartime conditions have been collected-by the National
Association of Real Estate Boards.
In 1-b.eir survey which covered 377 cities, it was found that
abo^tfour fifths of these communities were more than 25
per cent- behind on nprrnal repairs and maintenance of property. The scarcity of -materials and labor of course accounts
for this failure to.keep.-maintenance and repairs up to normal levels. '      * ••■*.-
When-materials become abundant again, and there is labor
enough *to perform needed jobs, a boom in making renovations and improvements in existing-dwellings can be foreseen.
Many mare buildings than usual need painting; Many housewives have postponed jobs-of putting-on' ne#- wallpaper and
inside painting and floor work. *' * -   '

amounts to an outright refusal
It's tragic-because few con truthfully   say   that  he   or  she  cpnnot
'afford' to - give.     The  banks  are
bursting with  money.     But  some
people are looking  out for them
selves just as though the few. dol
lars  that  they   would  give   could
make  any  difference  one way  or
the other if a really bad break befell them.    It's wrong. Human beings cannot live by the law of the
herd.   Those  who cannot keep  up
with the line of march should not
be left to rot and die
The WAR CHEST, in a sense
symbolizes the differences between
men and animals—between civilization and barbarizm.
This years - campaign has been
well organized, all the willing vol
unteers hav gone out in rain and
at night after their daily work Has
been done to- ring doorbells to
reach1 everyone. But it's apparent
now that many persons were just
going through the motions of listening and their minds were made
up to say no before they heard the
doorbell! ring.
If yqu didn't give, talk it over
with yoyr conscience and get in
touch with the committee of which
Clark Wehl is chairman and do so.
Who knows you may need help
before another year yourself.

North Canton's Share To Bring
Home The Boys and Take Care
Of The Wounded Is $273,230,
The fact is you don't buy bonds you invest your, money
with interest! They cost you nothing, Your 'E' bonds are just,
proof that you have made a wise investment instead of putting your- money in the old sugar bowl.
Monday North Canton Volunteers like several thousand
throughout the nation moved into thd front lines to put the
finishing touches on their last big job of the war .and" their
biggest job of the peace.
Their goal of $273,230, North Canton's share of the. $11,-
000,000,000 Victory ' Loan    Drive   which   opened   Monday
throughout the nation.
The County's quota is $15,703,-
000, in the seven previous drives,
the people of Stark County invested a total of-206 million dollars.
This figure includes all types of
bonds and on the average, each
overall goal was exceeded by 50
percent.
The county's 'E' bond quota is
84,745,000, the Stark County War
Finance Committee reports. That
is $237.25 for'each of the approximately 20,000 men and women in
uniform from this area who carried on the actual work of warfare.
Those men and women want to
come home now, but that takes
monev. It takes as 'much mone'v to
demobilize one soldier as it does
to keep him in service another six
months.
The victory loan must provide
that money. In addition it must
provide funds for hospitalibation,
rehabilitation, and'training of npl-
lions of G. I.'s whose lives have
been altered by the war.
This war the Veterans Administration reports, has turned out a
higher percentage of disabled than
all other wars in which this nation
ever engaged. That toll results in
spite of the great strides in medical science which have cut to a
great extent the number of deaths.
To attain the goal of -5273,230
that is North Canton's share, the
most complete organization of
Volunteer workers has been organized by North Canton Woman's
Club Drive chairman Mrs. R- M.
Harpold. It includes members from
the. various organizations in North,
Canton. The American Legion,
American Legion Auxiliary, The
P-T. A., The Optimist Club. The
Rotary Club, the Senior and Junior Woman's Clubs and the school
children.
As in the past, the payroll savings division will figure prominent!'
ly in bringing the drive to a successful * conclusion. With many
persons ^having continued their regular purchase of bonds on tho
same scale which they established
in the seventh drive.
