OW MOURNFUL fiEU € \ VOL. 22—No. 46 NORTH CANTON, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1946 $2.00 A YEAR Labor Day Thoughts One of the thoughts that come up an Labor day relates to the dignity and importance of any sort of useful labor. Any useful work well done is valuable to the comunity, and those who perform it are entitled to honor. * The workers of this country are entitled to great ci*edit for the regularity they show in their labors, making possible the efficient operation of factories and shops and farms. They are skillful in handling machines and tools, and they .turn out handsome and practical products that meet the needs of the people at moderate prices. Many young men have felt that they got a better idea of industrial production if they actually took hold themselves of mechanical work, and had personal experience of how goods *were made. They believed that in the way they had a better conception of how work should be done. It was once said of a certain manufacturer of shoes that if his workers complained about the work thej* were asked td do, he could sit down at the (bench and do the job himself, and prove that it could be done, and his workers respected him for it. It put them on their mettle to do it as well as he did. It is a great misfortune when the industries are hampered by industrial depression and many workers are unable to find employment. One of the subjects which can well be discussed on Labor day is how- such periods can be prevented, or their severity mitigated if they oome. It is a sad experience for people who want to work and are able to work, and have the experience that fits them to do good, work, and yet be unable to find employment. The country should resolve on Labor day to do it best to see-that such periods do not come again, or if they cannot be absolutely prevented, it should try to. provide employment for those who need it. What Is It We Do Want? Do we really want peace? Do we want security? Do we want prosperity? Do we want a chance to live our own way? No, this is not another article against war. It is not against anything except selfishness. For, if we could lick selfishness in men and nations, we could master any and every trouble that besets us. We cannot enforce peace, either in industrial or in international relations. But if men honestly want peace, they can have it, because they will put aside selfish interest to achieve the large goal. A lawyer friend' of mine tells me he always starts out by trying to make his client see his opponent's side of the case. That once he succeeds in this, he generally can make the opponent see the client's side—and the solution that comes out of a mutual understanding of each other's position is peaceful and permanent. Personally I think that is a good way to handle any problem. But how to go about it? First, we'have to be motivated by a sincere desire to find a solution, to our difficulties, to do away with points of disagreement. We have ta act as though we intended to live together in peace. This does not mean "giving in", or "appeasing". We have to stand firm for principle, and not compromise or shillyshally. If we do, we will find ourselves blocked off' into a corner where we have to fight, just because we didn't make our position clear in the first place. Next we have to consider our opponent's side, and' see if *we- do not agree with- some of his views. Once having found Local Man to Study For Foreign Career Robert T. Wood, son of Mr. and Mrs. John R. Wood of 323 Edge- wood St., will be one of 250 young men and women to be given formal training for business and government careers in Latin America by the American Institute for Foreign Trade, the school has announced. these points of agreement,, then we can honestly and fairly the same time, and it is said that * ■ -..•***... » - ..__-■" -at one time when the music failed at one fair, the seals jumped in, seized the instruments and finished the show, although there was trouble later because they hadn't paid their dues. It is suggested by the Fair Board, that grandstand patrons pay at least more than one visit tb the amphitheatre this year, due to the fact that several changes in the program have been arranged to take place at different times during the week. It has been further emphasized that this show takes place in front of the grandstand and cannot be Been and appreciated from, any' other point of the fairgrounds, and of course, it is the big event of the week and the only attraction of its kind on the entire fairgrounds, and truly the one outstanding show at the Stark County Fair this year. Harness Racing will again be one of the outstanding features at the Stark County Fair. No pastime or sport gives more clean honest thrills than a good race program. Purses for the race program have been increased, which will no doubt bring some of the outstanding horses to* our Fair this year. We still think that the races are the greatest single amusement attraction for Everything at Grandstand Show At the Stark County Fair Although the Stark County Grandstand Show this year* includes attractions from the tented world, hippodi'ome tracks and the vaudeville stage, it is even more than a confined circus and the hippodrome show, and promises to be more, fun than a circus, and have more thrills than a rodeo. , .: One of the attractions is a combination that is booked-in most county fairs as a complete show in itself, and actually that is what it is, because it includes performers, horses, tents, cook house, blacksmith shop, hospital, ward-robe department and the big-top show. The above named attraction is billed as Jinks Hoaglan's Hippodrome Riders, and when it is realized that this is but one of the I groups that will appear at the Fair, the magnitude of the entire operation can be better understood, but nothing less than a personal visit to the grandstand, during fair week,, can confirm the extravagant billing of the current grandstand show. Although one hates to use on old cliche, these attractions have been garnered from the four corners of the earth, one of them hailing all the way from the Philippine Islands, where he was interned by the Japs during the war. When MacArthur liberated the Philippines, he wangled passage home on an American transport, and is back in show business again presenting one of the most unique novelty acts ever- designed for the American public. The name is Matt Tuck, and he is the only person in all the world who can "niggle heavy barrels and other obiects as easily with his feet as- his most accomplished contemporaries do with their hands. Tuck will be one of the highlights of the show this year. Ethel D'Arcy lends her aid to the spine-tingling department with a hair-raising exhibition of dare- deviltry ori "a high wind-swept pole that is tall enough to dwarf the average skyscraper. Mel Marcus, the French refuge, brings an entirely new twist in comedy pantomine acts. Scorning the spoken work, and resorting only to a high-pitched falsetto, he goes through his routine of hand balancing, table rocking, and muscular control worK. Marcus, whose real name is alleged to be almost unpronounceable, was a member of the French underground during the war. and for a period of three weeks, during the sieg-e of Paris, lived on a diet of rats. By no means. least among the more outstanding attractions is Judy, the wonder elephant, a baby iungle juggernaut owned by Harry Fisher, famous explorer, importer, and trainer of wild animals, who captured Judy's mother during one of his recent jungle safaris. She is the_only known elephant ever to have survived a birth at sea during one of the worst storms ever recorded, as they were rounding the Qape of Good Hope. Judy's mother died enroute, and Judy, although fifteen years old, is still a baby, according to Mr. Fisher, in spite ofthe amazing routine of acrobatic tricks she performs. , Also included in the Fisher Combination, is America's best animal trainer, Ruby Fisher, and her troups of canine quiz kids, said to be the most outstanding dog act in America today. The show-this year is much too big to talk about. In fact, almost too big to be seen at a glance. It could only be presented outdoors under the stars, as the four walls of a theatre could not possibly hold the endless array of wonderful novelties, spectacles and unusual attractions. One feature this year,that hasn't been seen at the Stark County Fair for many a day is a troupe of genuine sea lions direct from the West Coast,, where they were trained by the Daddy of all seal trainers, .Harry Pickard. One of the seals actually does a one-flipper stand and revolves on a piano stool at Eighteen Flee Tyranny MIAMI, FLA.—SOUiNDPHOTO—Eighteen liberty-loving Estonians who found German and Russian rule of their once-freu land oppressive sailed into Miami last week crowded aboard an old 38 foot sloop. They had been to sea for thirty days sailing ifrom Spanish Maderia. The boat was jointly pvrchased in Sweden. They have no i permission to land in this country and the immigration authorities here are considering dispositon of the matter while gifts from all over the country are showered upon them. Dedication of New Airport j Set For October 12-13 Dedication of the Akron-Canton-Massillon Airport will be held Saturday and Sunday, October 12 and 13, it was decided at a joint meeting of the Chambers of Commerce of the three cities and Alliance with Stark and Summit County Commissioners, in the Summit Courthouse. Officials have scheduled the celebration for the week-end preceding October 15, the date when four major airlines are scheduled to move into the field.. Dedication ceremonies could not be held once the service is begun, according to a ruling of the Civic Aeronautics Board. Richard Burwell Receives Rating of iCDistinquished F?> The nine-month study course at Thunderbird Field near Phoenix, Arizona will begin on October 1.

He served until October, 1945, and received the presidential unit citation, Philippines Liberation medal with two battle stars and the Pacific Theatre ribbon with eight battle stars. work out a solution that will be just to both sides There is not peace of *&ny kind that will last unless it is founded upon absolute justice. Over four hundred years ago a great judge said, "Reason is the life of the law; nay, the common law itself is nothing else but reason." But how often do we stay reasonable after we get into an argument ? We go' into it with a mental chip on our shoulder, just looking for trouble. We say we want peace—but do we? If we d6—as individuals, as a nation—we will work for it, not against it. We can have peace — both at home and abroad. The decision is up to us. What is it we do want ? Our own way, or a fair deal for every one ? Up From Humble Life OPA. Raises Price of Newsprint Another $7 a Tost The ceiling price on newsprint is up $7 a ton,! and it may be boosted further soon. "I wouldn't be surprised to see another increase before long," an OPA official said. In announcing the immediate $7 increase yesterday, OPA cited these reasons: To help assure an adequate supply of newsprint for United States publishers by attempting to pre vent a diversion to other mar? of foreign newsprint. To check any tendency on part of domestic producers to "«S^; vert newsprint production to other more profitable lines of paper. To offset manufacturers' higher costs for raw materials, labor and freight. In its announcement, OPA made no mention of the recent 10 per cent upward revaluation of the Canadian dollar, although this was believed a major factor in the decision to allow a higher ceiling. Canada, the source of 80 per cent of this country's newsprint supply, raised the price for this paper $6.80 a ton'shortly after United States price controls lapsed July 1. This higher price reflected the Canadian dollar revalaution. As a result of the increase, OPA authorized sale of newsprint on an open billing basis, pending determination on whether import ceilings should be raised. This authorization became effective August 8. Hence, the $7-a-ton price increase granted is allowable on all sales since that date. A source of great pride to Zion Lutheran Church in North Canton is the fact that on September 8, live young* men will leave from her midst to prepare themselves to enter the holy ministry. Three of these young men graduated from high school last spring. They are, Rav- mond Himes, Robert Reiss and his twin brother Richard Reiss. The other two young aspirants are recently discharged war veterans, Rollin Reiss and Arden Carlson. It is most unusual to have at one time so many desiring to enter into the full time work of the church. They will begin their four years of college work at Capital University located in Columbus, Ohio. Their three years of theological training will be taken at the Evangelical Lvitheran Seminary in Columbus. Both ol' these institutions belong to the American Lutheran Church. arenSs Asked Register First Grades ai Jackson 10,000 People Attend Greentown Festival About 10,000 people attended the Festival sponsored by the Howard D. Miller Post of the Greentown American iLegion, held Saturday night just north of the Bit and Spur riding club on the Greentown- Akron road. The Drum and Bugle Corps of the Wendell Wilkie Post of Akron furnished the music, and marched in formation up and from the 900 feet of midway. The ford car was won by Scott Tomlinson of 514 Glendora Ave., Akron, Ohio. There were 23 con- sessions and the committees in charge were composed of Merton Shelley who was general chairman; Ed Marlowe, publicity; Roy M. Myers, Tickets; Roy Rundquist, materials; Roy Wenger, parking; Elmer Miller, Lighting; Elmer Huffman in charge of grounds, and Aj R. Furnace, finance. All first graders not previously registered in the spring and all students moving into the Jackson Township School District should register before school starts. The school will be open from August 26th to 30th inclusive from 9:00 to 4:00 also on Wednesday evening, August 28th, and Friday- evening, August 30th from 7:00 to 8:30 p. m. for this purpose. Parents are urged to avail themselves of this opportunity to register their children, so that they can go immedately to their classroom, on the opening of school. School will start at Jackson Township on Wednesday morning. September 4 with a half day ses sion. Only one teacher resigned from the faculty of 29. Mrs. Bruce Cris- singer, formerly of Massillon City Schools, was hired to reolace Mrs Smith, former first irrade teacher who moved to New Mexico. Richard Burwell of North Canton was one of 77 people from Ohio who are among the 1107 student at Purdue University who won the "DistinqiMshed Student" lating for scholastic achievement during the past term which closed the latter part of June. The "Dis- tinquished" group included 10G1 civilians and 40 V-12 trainees. In order to be a "Distinguished Student", the highest scholastic honor offered by the University, it is necessary for a student to maintain a scholastic average of COO, or above, which approximates an average of 90. In addition to the honor involved, civilian students on the "Distinquished" list are entitled to the remission of fees amounting to $30 for the term immediately following qualification. Mr Burwell is a sophomore in Air Transportation. Fifty-Six Boys Turn Out For Football Practice Williams Purchased Interest in Ourkin's Coach Joseph Esmont looks forward to a good season for the football team oi* North Canton High. Fifty six boys turned out on August 20 the first day of practice. Among* them were the fell owing- boys: Ray Kaufman, Paul Baxter, Wip McCamant, Don Wendell, Bud Willaman, John Holder, Howard Clark, Dean Smith, Gene Willaman, Paul Roush, Jim Heckaman, Harold Keller, Park Powell, Bob*1' Warburton, Hoover Union To Ballot September 3 In reading the obituary notices of men who have achieved more than-ordinary success, it is remarked-that many of them came from humble beginnings. They had to make their way in the world by their own efforts. Of course they got a great deal of help from American schools, but after they left school they had to make their way up by their own determination and persistence. It is a great advantage for a young person to be born in a-family that can give him a good education. Many who. have had, these advantages have not had any great amount of ^ *™8^i»^^TaTthdp Fairs ambition, and so have not accomplished anything very won-1 Racjng programs will take place derful. * this year on Monday, Wednesday ^'ltx cannot be considered an advantage for a person to be ^hts inrscasl yoif cannot get to bdrn' in a family suffering from poverty.

S g&'gS. ^ °f the W Local Woman To Give Fair Program Mrs. D. O. Corner of North Canton will present her program the 'Magic Gourd Vine' in the Woman's Building at the State Fair in Columbus, Ohio, under the auspices of the Ohio State Federation of Garden Clubs. She will also have on display some of her native Gourd Craft. Tuesday, September 3, was set as the date for the annual election oi. the C.I.O. United Electrical, Radio &. Machine Workers Local at The Hoover Company's plant when the election committee met at the union hall Wednesday night. Balloting in the union hall from 7 a. m. to 7:30 p. m. will be for officers, trustees, members of the executive board arid delegates to the district and international U. E. W. conventions. Those elected will take their posts October 1. Ralph D. Marcus, business agent, announced a mass meeting for members of U.E.W. locals at- Canton, Akron, Alliance and Dover in the North Canton Community building has been postponed from August 28 to Wednesday, September 4 at 8 p. m. The speaker, Albert Fitzgerald of New York City, U.E.W.'s international president, will discuss future U.E.W. wage-price policies. He is a member of the C.I.O. executive board and the executive board of the World Federation of Trade Unions. To better serve the customers in his growing business, Jim Durkin has announced the sale of an interest in his meat market, to Tom Williams. Mr. Williams is 31 years old. married, and has a son 15 months old. He has had six years experience as a butcher in "Canton," and was in the postal service for a short time before entering the service. Mr. Williams was inducted into the armed forces January 29, 1941. Ho was in the service four years and 10 months, spending 2 years in the South Pacific, where he served as a captain with the 37th Division. He was placed on the inactive list on November 28, 1945. In the short time Tom has been in North Canton, he has become a charter member of the Junior Chamber, of Commerce and has taken an active part in civic affairs. We join his many friends in wishing him success in his new venture. The recent cut in the government's public works program has necessitated a delay in the CAA's installation of night lighting equipment at the Airport, while this may make a difference in when the airlines can move onto the field, officials report that dedication ceremonies will go on as scheduled, as the dedication must be held before the airlines move onto the field, and good weather cannot be expected much later in the year. A 12-man executive committee was named to appoint committees for planning the dedication. It is headed by R. C. Kibler, Summit commissioner as chairman, and Oren D. Carter, Summit, and Oliver Kuhn, Stark, Vice chairmen. Members of the committee are Henry Ernst and Oscar E. Barkey of the Canton Chamber; Selby Folks and C. C. Ulrich of the Massillon group.... Edgar Turkle and Walter Boyd of the Alliance group; Vincent Johnson and O. Clare Cori- lan of Akron and Howard E. Ramsey, airport manager. Mr. Ramsey warned that the field has a parking capacity of only 1500 cars at the present time and many who want to see the "gig.-. antic show" will be unable to attend. Other obstacles in the way of a big show, it was pointed out, include the weather, which will be unpredictable in the middle of October and the high cost. The executive committee will holda meeting at the airport office in Greentown in the near future to map out the program, for the show.

When MacArthur liberated the Philippines, he wangled passage home on an American transport, and is back in show business again presenting one of the most unique novelty acts ever- designed for the American public. The name is Matt Tuck, and he is the only person in all the world who can "niggle heavy barrels and other obiects as easily with his feet as- his most accomplished contemporaries do with their hands. Tuck will be one of the highlights of the show this year. Ethel D'Arcy lends her aid to the spine-tingling department with a hair-raising exhibition of dare- deviltry ori "a high wind-swept pole that is tall enough to dwarf the average skyscraper. Mel Marcus, the French refuge, brings an entirely new twist in comedy pantomine acts. Scorning the spoken work, and resorting only to a high-pitched falsetto, he goes through his routine of hand balancing, table rocking, and muscular control worK. Marcus, whose real name is alleged to be almost unpronounceable, was a member of the French underground during the war. and for a period of three weeks, during the sieg-e of Paris, lived on a diet of rats. By no means. least among the more outstanding attractions is Judy, the wonder elephant, a baby iungle juggernaut owned by Harry Fisher, famous explorer, importer, and trainer of wild animals, who captured Judy's mother during one of his recent jungle safaris. She is the_only known elephant ever to have survived a birth at sea during one of the worst storms ever recorded, as they were rounding the Qape of Good Hope. Judy's mother died enroute, and Judy, although fifteen years old, is still a baby, according to Mr. Fisher, in spite ofthe amazing routine of acrobatic tricks she performs. , Also included in the Fisher Combination, is America's best animal trainer, Ruby Fisher, and her troups of canine quiz kids, said to be the most outstanding dog act in America today. The show-this year is much too big to talk about. In fact, almost too big to be seen at a glance. It could only be presented outdoors under the stars, as the four walls of a theatre could not possibly hold the endless array of wonderful novelties, spectacles and unusual attractions. One feature this year,that hasn't been seen at the Stark County Fair for many a day is a troupe of genuine sea lions direct from the West Coast,, where they were trained by the Daddy of all seal trainers, .Harry Pickard. One of the seals actually does a one-flipper stand and revolves on a piano stool at Eighteen Flee Tyranny MIAMI, FLA.—SOUiNDPHOTO—Eighteen liberty-loving Estonians who found German and Russian rule of their once-freu land oppressive sailed into Miami last week crowded aboard an old 38 foot sloop. They had been to sea for thirty days sailing ifrom Spanish Maderia. The boat was jointly pvrchased in Sweden. They have no i permission to land in this country and the immigration authorities here are considering dispositon of the matter while gifts from all over the country are showered upon them. Dedication of New Airport j Set For October 12-13 Dedication of the Akron-Canton-Massillon Airport will be held Saturday and Sunday, October 12 and 13, it was decided at a joint meeting of the Chambers of Commerce of the three cities and Alliance with Stark and Summit County Commissioners, in the Summit Courthouse.

Over four hundred years ago a great judge said, "Reason is the life of the law; nay, the common law itself is nothing else but reason." But how often do we stay reasonable after we get into an argument ? We go' into it with a mental chip on our shoulder, just looking for trouble. We say we want peace—but do we? If we d6—as individuals, as a nation—we will work for it, not against it. We can have peace — both at home and abroad. The decision is up to us. What is it we do want ? Our own way, or a fair deal for every one ? Up From Humble Life OPA. Raises Price of Newsprint Another $7 a Tost The ceiling price on newsprint is up $7 a ton,! and it may be boosted further soon. "I wouldn't be surprised to see another increase before long," an OPA official said. In announcing the immediate $7 increase yesterday, OPA cited these reasons: To help assure an adequate supply of newsprint for United States publishers by attempting to pre vent a diversion to other mar? of foreign newsprint. To check any tendency on part of domestic producers to "«S^; vert newsprint production to other more profitable lines of paper. To offset manufacturers' higher costs for raw materials, labor and freight. In its announcement, OPA made no mention of the recent 10 per cent upward revaluation of the Canadian dollar, although this was believed a major factor in the decision to allow a higher ceiling. Canada, the source of 80 per cent of this country's newsprint supply, raised the price for this paper $6.80 a ton'shortly after United States price controls lapsed July 1. This higher price reflected the Canadian dollar revalaution. As a result of the increase, OPA authorized sale of newsprint on an open billing basis, pending determination on whether import ceilings should be raised. This authorization became effective August 8. Hence, the $7-a-ton price increase granted is allowable on all sales since that date. A source of great pride to Zion Lutheran Church in North Canton is the fact that on September 8, live young* men will leave from her midst to prepare themselves to enter the holy ministry. Three of these young men graduated from high school last spring. They are, Rav- mond Himes, Robert Reiss and his twin brother Richard Reiss. The other two young aspirants are recently discharged war veterans, Rollin Reiss and Arden Carlson. It is most unusual to have at one time so many desiring to enter into the full time work of the church. They will begin their four years of college work at Capital University located in Columbus, Ohio. Their three years of theological training will be taken at the Evangelical Lvitheran Seminary in Columbus. Both ol' these institutions belong to the American Lutheran Church. arenSs Asked Register First Grades ai Jackson 10,000 People Attend Greentown Festival About 10,000 people attended the Festival sponsored by the Howard D.

Richard Burwell of North Canton was one of 77 people from Ohio who are among the 1107 student at Purdue University who won the "DistinqiMshed Student" lating for scholastic achievement during the past term which closed the latter part of June. The "Dis- tinquished" group included 10G1 civilians and 40 V-12 trainees. In order to be a "Distinguished Student", the highest scholastic honor offered by the University, it is necessary for a student to maintain a scholastic average of COO, or above, which approximates an average of 90. In addition to the honor involved, civilian students on the "Distinquished" list are entitled to the remission of fees amounting to $30 for the term immediately following qualification. Mr Burwell is a sophomore in Air Transportation.

They had to make their way in the world by their own efforts. Of course they got a great deal of help from American schools, but after they left school they had to make their way up by their own determination and persistence. It is a great advantage for a young person to be born in a-family that can give him a good education.

Mr. Williams is 31 years old. married, and has a son 15 months old. He has had six years experience as a butcher in "Canton," and was in the postal service for a short time before entering the service. Mr. Williams was inducted into the armed forces January 29, 1941. Ho was in the service four years and 10 months, spending 2 years in the South Pacific, where he served as a captain with the 37th Division. He was placed on the inactive list on November 28, 1945. In the short time Tom has been in North Canton, he has become a charter member of the Junior Chamber, of Commerce and has taken an active part in civic affairs. We join his many friends in wishing him success in his new venture. The recent cut in the government's public works program has necessitated a delay in the CAA's installation of night lighting equipment at the Airport, while this may make a difference in when the airlines can move onto the field, officials report that dedication ceremonies will go on as scheduled, as the dedication must be held before the airlines move onto the field, and good weather cannot be expected much later in the year. A 12-man executive committee was named to appoint committees for planning the dedication. It is headed by R. C. Kibler, Summit commissioner as chairman, and Oren D. Carter, Summit, and Oliver Kuhn, Stark, Vice chairmen. Members of the committee are Henry Ernst and Oscar E. Barkey of the Canton Chamber; Selby Folks and C. C. Ulrich of the Massillon group.... Edgar Turkle and Walter Boyd of the Alliance group; Vincent Johnson and O. Clare Cori- lan of Akron and Howard E. Ramsey, airport manager. Mr. Ramsey warned that the field has a parking capacity of only 1500 cars at the present time and many who want to see the "gig.-. antic show" will be unable to attend. Other obstacles in the way of a big show, it was pointed out, include the weather, which will be unpredictable in the middle of October and the high cost. The executive committee will holda meeting at the airport office in Greentown in the near future to map out the program, for the show.
