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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
