CORP. DONALD FESTERLY
During the recent months of industrial strife and popular
confusion, current events have been almost as common a
topic of conversation as the weather. Wherever people congregate, somebody opens the subject, of "What's the world
coming to, anyhow?" It's a wholesome condition. The common $;ense of Tom, Dick and Harry has saved this nation
*"- from many a bad spill.
Recently an old man (slightly deaf) sat near me on the
train. With him was a teen-age girl, a grand-daughter perhaps. They had divided a newspaper between them. Grandad
spoke first. "There's nothing wrong with this country if every body would get together and do the right thing," he observed. The girl looked at him, shifted her gum and replied,
"Many an honest heart beats beneath a wooden head."
Maybe she lacked respect for her elders but the young wo-
(man was practical. People in a country this .large don't get together. Moreover they don't do the right thing unless they
. /now what it is, and their education in economic matters has
been sadly neglected. Unless that very situation is corrected
before long, our people will trail the British into the wilderness of Collectivism.
Within the last 12 months, I have been privileged to talk
with students of a great many high schools and colleges in
widely scattered states. I have discussed private enterprise
and state socialism with them, and I can testify that most of
theni seem to consider private enterprise a failure. Some of
them have been extremely well coached to' debate against the
American system.
Questioning them sympathetically, I find that very few of
the students I meet have a clear idea about what private enterprise is. They consider it a system that gives special advantages to rich men and big corporations. They point out
that 6ur system has n*bt maintained full employment, has not
prevented alternate depressions and booms, and , has never
equalized living standards.
It is no surprise that studious youngsters are able to pick
the obvious flaws in any system, but here is a surprise: Almost without exception these young people seem to think all
the imperfections of America's present system can be corrected by government management. With the scandalous exhibitions of incompetence from WPA to the OPA, how can
anybody expect politics to help?
> - Harmony is really needed in American industry, and Am-
"'erican government, but it will be found only on a plane of
better knowledge. Text books must be prepared and instructors trained to teach Americanism if human freedom, individual opportunity and intellectual liberty are to continue.
When enough of us know the truth we can do the right thing
whether we can actually get together or not.
Free Collective Bargaining
free collective bargaining" means bargaining free of Government interference except for those activities normally in- w&
volving mediation or conciliation ... To assure that colljsctive Anyone interested can contact Bill
bargaining- is really a two-sided affair, Congress must revise Ashbaugh or Bill Hoag for further
the Wagner Act to correct its one- sidedness and* to assure n*0™^10"- More details about the
that responsibility;, goes along with power.
S#F
TTbanftsgiving proclamation
At this season when the year is drawing to a close tradition suggests
and our hearts require that we render humble devotion to Almighty God
for the mercies bestowed upon us by His goodness.
Devoutly grateful to divine providence for the richness of our endowment and the many blessings received, may we continue to give a
good account of o.ur stewardship by utilizing our resources in the service
of mankind.
May we have the vision and courage to accept and discharge honorably
the responsibilities inherent in our strength by consecrating ourselves to.
the attainment of a better world.
Now. Therefore, I, Harry S. Truman, president of the United States
of America, in consonance with the joint resolution of congress approved
December 26, 1941, do hereby proclaim Thursday, November 28, 1946, as
a day of national thanksgiving; and I call upon the people of this nation
to. observe that day by offering thanks to God for the bounties vouchsafed us, and by rededicating ourselves to the preservation of the blessings of liberty, envisaged, by our forefathers in the preamble to the constitution.
In witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States of America ta be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this 28th day of October in the,year
of our Lord nineteen hundred and forty-six and of the independence of
the United States of America the one-hundred and seventy-first.'

Christmas Seals
Persons expecting to be employed during the holiday season to
help take care of the rush in business must have social security account numbers, Clifton H. Little,
Manager of the Canton, Ohio field
office of the Social Security Administration, announced today.
"One reason this is so essential
is that an account number and
card assure the .worker that all
wages he receives, whether he
works part time or full time, will
be credited to his old-age and survivors insurance account," Clifton
H. Little, said "His account is kept
by the Administration according to
the social security account number
issued to him.
"Unless the worker has a job in
view, however, he should not apply for a number. As soon as he is
certain of going to work at an early date, he should go to the
nearest Social Security Board office and put in his application for
his account number.
"If he lives some distance from
the field office, he may go to the
nearest post office and ■ secure
Form SS-5, fill in the blanks, and
send, it to the Social Security Administration. He will then receive
the account number by mail.
"If he has lost an account card,
he should use the same form to apply for a duplicate.
"The account number is necessary because it should be presented
to the employer before the worker
goes onto a jab."
The social security field office in
this area is at 304 Dime Savings
Bank Bldg., Canton 2, Ohio.

during the ensuing year: Martha
Pontius, president; Verla Mollet,
secretary; Mrs. Clifford Himes,
treasurer and Mrs. Zina Freeze,
new member of the executive
board. ,   ,.

revival meetings at the Greentown
Church of God in Greentown beginning on December 1 and continuing through December 15th.
■ Services will be held each evening* and special music has been

Rev. W. C. and Mrs. Esther Jordan invite the public to attend'.
A thorough search of any modern city today would surely fail to
reveal the lamplighter, so familiar
in the by-gone days- of the gaslight era. The solitary figure with
ladder and torch plodding from
lamp to darkened lamp, leaving behind a trail of cheerful blazing
light which bannished every frightening shadow from the dusk-filled
streets, disappeared with the advent  of electric lights.
Yet on Thanksgiving Day, in every home in the nation, the picture
of such a lamplighter will be found,
gracing the f946 Tuberculosis
Christmas Seal, the messenger of
health that has for forty years
frightened away the shadow of tuberculosis.
The fortieth annual sale of
Christmas Seals to raise funds for
the control of tuberculosis will be
conducted this year from November 25, until Christmas and 87 per
cent of the money will be used-
within the community in which it
is raised. Eight per cent will be j
used in the State and the remaining 5 per cent for the coordination*
of National programs.
Almost forty years ago, the first
Christmas Seals were sold in Ohio.
In 1910 the death rate from tuberculosis was '143 per 100,000 persons and in that year there were
6,S44 deaths from the white plague. In that year also the Christmas Seal Sale in Ohio- amounted to-
$37,235.27 and the money was immediately put to work fighting .tuberculosis.
In 1945, the death rate from tuberculosis in Ohio was 36;5 per-
100,000 and there were only 2,573
deaths from, the disease. The anr
nual Christmas Seal Sale in 1945
amounted to $925,406.89, every
cerlt of which is being- used' to further reduce the ^number of deaths
and needless suffering caused by
tuberculosis. <p
The Loyal Daughters Class of
the Zion Lutheran Church will hold
their Christmas party meeting in
the social rooms of the' church on
Wednesday, December 4* at 6
o'clock. The meeting will begin
