Who Does Your Thinking?
. "Hold on" you are^going to say. "I do my own thinking-.
No one tells me what to say."
Perhaps that is .true—but is it your head or your heart or
your eussedness that dictates what you think?
.We are no nation of regimented slaves. What restrictions
wie have placed upon us, what regulations we obey, we accept of our own free will. They are our laws, and we will obey
them because they are traffic signals at a dangerous curve
in the roai
_.We are no nation of group thinkers—an American Europe,
drawn each, way by conflicting interests and Iiamstrung at
every turn by barriers, of age-old misunderstandings. We
are free men who cooperate but who do not belong in groups.
Under our democratic form, of government we are free to
determine our own thoughts, and that implies a personal
responsibility as to what we let rule'our thoughts—our head,
our heart or our eussedness.
, When our head rules, we can think calmly and dispassionately and determine what is the logical course to pursue for
our own interest. When our heart rules, we follow our emotions, too often mistaking the whTo-the-wisp of fancy for
the steady flame of idealism. When our eussedness rules, we
obey our prejudices—prejudices based on lack of knowledge
of our brothers' needs or motives.
• Just as we need three branches of government to check
the usurption of power by any one, so we need to let tho
three—head, heart and eussedness—rule our thoughts.
^Unquestionably we 'must first think with bur heads, for
we need clear and logical thought. We need to face and assimilate facts, to be realistic and practical in time of national tension. But we must also think with our hearts, that, we
raay.;add-the leaven of compassion to our thoughts, that-we
ijia'sr have faith and hope and. .charity, that we may work in
-h3i^^ny^^th-x>u^f^k):vV''.-Americans because we think, in
harmony with them.
uTo these two we must add the spice of eussedness, turning it from' personal prejudices against people to an active
determination to fight a thing—an evil which seeks to divide
and. disrupt, to set religion against religion, race against
race, class against class—an evil which seeks to control by
destruction of that unity which is democracy.
Who does your thinking? You are but one—but as you and
you and you think, so will the nation act. The responsibility
is great—and it is up to you!
What Is America?
America is not an accident. No geographical borders made
it into a nation.,No,isolation of racial strains, no lingual unity drew it together.
America is not an accident. It is the flowering of an idea,
the development pf a principle.
There is no accident about the building of a coral atoll.
Activated by ah immutable biological law, waves upon
waves of tiny animals gathered together, dying to form a
firm foundation higher up for those who followed. Finally
the seas were:. pierced. The island rose above the waves and
lay revealed to the sun and sky.
So it is with America. Wave upon wave of idealists seeking Utopia, of dreameris who would not recognize defeat,
dared out upon the unconquered seas.
- Wave upon wave of seekers after freedom and the right
^ to earn a better, way of life followed them; steadily pushing
the boundaries westward, turning the wilderness into gardens, building cities, laying roads paved with their blood and
tears.
So-the island rises to the water level, as wave after wave
of seekers after freedom from fear, seekers after opportunities for their children, clustered' together in a new world.
. Each'-generation-left the country better than it found it.
Each wave.of people contributed to the culture and learning.
From every land, of .every faith, they gave their best. Our
songs, oar literature, our arts, our sciences are all the better
for these so-called foreign elements;. Even our language is
more picturesque an colorful because of the. contributions
from other tongues; .
America is no accident. It grew as did the island until it
rose above the waves, standing strong and secure against the
gale because of the firm foundation built by waves upon
waves~6f new Americans.
■ What is the cement .that holds) these different elementTTo-
gether? It is the ideal that is America,—the ideal of a people who hold the rights„of others to be as important as their
own, who will not compromise with evil, who are building
not for themselves alone but for thofee who are to follow.
That is America. It is no accident!

The Red Cross
44V
Too much".cannot be' safd in praise of the American Red
Cross. Just think of it:having produced 680,000,000 surgical
dressings for. our.Army and Navy and for foreign war relief.
This is in: addition to .production of 1,000,000 garments and
-more than 6,000,000,kit bags, which were filled with playing
cards, .sewing .kits, soap,. shaving kits and other items.
It is impossible to "name all the wonderful achievements
, of/the Red Cross, but; we. cannot overlook 41,000,000 meals
.and- snabks served .in. this country during 1945. More than
.iSiOOO -women volunteered, helped the Bed- Cross without
any .compensation.- Members of Red Cross Motor Corps made
^pre^tftari 2,500,000 calls for the Chapter. At the same time

Village Council to define the word 'Garbage' as meaning the
offal of all food originally intended for human consumption-,
and it does NOT include, paper, tin cans, glass, cardboard,,
corrugated box and other food .containers.
The Village Council has passed
an ordinance and defined the word,
as to it's meaning in regards to
what is placed in village owned
garbage cans. The ordinance further states that, 'No person, firm
or corporation shall empty or place
in any garbage can furnished by
the village any matter whatsoever except garbage as so defined in
the Ordnance. c _
Any person or persons found violating the provisions as set forth
in the Ordinance will be subject
to a fine of Twenty-five dollars and
the costs of prosecution and may
also be denied the future use of
said garbage collection service.
The Ordinance further states
that any person or persons neglecting to pay their garbage collection
bill within 20 days after the termination of the quarter if or which
charges are billed, will have to pay
aii additional 5% penalty charge

George William Lippert, 46, of
Massillon, died Monday, January
21 after a long illness. He was a
life resident of Stark County.
Surviving are his widow, Mrs.
Sarah Lippert of the home; his
mother, Mrs. George Lippert; four
brothers, Jerome, Louis, Andres
and Lee Lippert, all of Waco, and
four sisters, Mrs. Ellen Horning of
North Canton, Mrs. Victoria Huth,
Mrs. Elizabeth Davis and Mrs. Anna Hepler of Canton.
Mrs. Flora Haines, 84, widow of
Norah D. Haines, died Friday, January 18 in the home of her daughter, Mrs. George Kile of Apple-
grove road, North Canton, where
she had resided 17 years.
Mrs. Haines had been bedfast 10
weeks following a fall in which she
suffered a fractured hip. A native
of New Franklin, she spent the
greater part of her life at Marlboro.
Bom in Canton, Mrs. Haines had
resided in Marlboro most of her
life until she went to live in her
daughter's home. She was a member of the Marlboro Methodist
Church.
Surviving,In addition to Mra.
Kile,   are   two   sons,   Walter and
troops he was;with enteral the towns in which the horrible prisons were located. He told
how the people of those towns in
Germany would have had to be
deaf, dumb, blind and' without a
sense of smell in order not to have
known what was going on around
them. These prisons were not located outside* of the city as the
Germans would have us think but
on the outskirts of the city where
all could see and hear.
At their next dinner meeting to
be held on Thursday evening in the
Community building, Rotarians
will hear a returned Veteran speak
of his experiences.

North Canton schools have collected-and Sent-on their way
1,445 articles of clothing, approximately 7 bags.
The goal of the North Canton ,schools is a bag of clothing-
a room, as there are 24 rooms there still remains 14 more;
.bags of clothing to collect to reach their goal. If you haven't
.already given, some of your old cast off, too small clothes do
so soon and help the children achieve their goal in the National Clothing Drive.
The price of a man's life may be hanging in your closet. In
a chest in your attic may lie the decision as to whether a
child shall live or die. The future of millions of men, women
and children is for1 sale . . . and the price of that future is
one you and I can so easily afford to pay.

of Time we had to have to win
the War. Now we can buy them
the days and months and years of
Time they have to have to win the

Does it seem fantastic that your,
old clothes, spare clothes, cast-off
shoes, blankets, can be a factor in
rebuilding this chaotic worts?
Think it -over. Farmers cannot
work the land without adequate
clothing to protect them from the
weather; children cannot attend
school without warm clothing; women cannot go about the tasks of
marketing without sufficient clothing to withstand long hours in ration lines; babies cannot grow
strong without clothing to shield
their frail, - undernourished little
bodies from disease; the sick, the

changes of clean underwear are-essential to the treatmennt. People

cloths, an odd pillow slip or a frayed blanket will aid some suffering victim of war in his fight for
life.
Together with our allies, the un-
invaded countries of Canada, Australia and New Zealand, we have
contributed millions of pounds of
clothing, sufficient to aid more
than 25-000,000 victims of war overseas. We must do more, we must
not forget other millions in most
dire need. From Holland. Norway, .
Greece, Poland, China, the Philip-
pines, Italy, Czechoslovakia,
France, Belgium, Yugoslavia, comes the same cry—Can't you send
more clothing?
The Victory Clothing Collection
being    conducted    on    behalf    of
UNRRA between January 7th and
31st will help to fill this need. Ev-.
ery one can give to least one garment, a pair of shoes, a piece of
bedding toward the national goal
of 100.000,000 garments. You are *
invited to enclose a good will letter with your contribution of cloth- ,
ing as an adventure in international friendship. -->        '-.. -   *,-;
