VOL. 24—No. 28
NORTH CANTON, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 1947

Why;
Why is the President asking Congress for war preparations ? The American people may soon know.
A ^solution introduced by 32 Republican   Senators   on
Marcfy 19, should result in revealing the nature of the mysterious commitments made at Teheran, Cario, Yalta and Potsdam Which, it Is now evident, are the basis of the present
international crisis*.
Yet President :Truman is the only one*who can divulge the
secrets of .those historic conferences. In his special message
to Congress on Marcfi 17, he issued a call to arms because of a
war threat without stating what that threat is*.
Going no further than, to say that one nation has "persistently ignored and violated" agreements which "could have
furnished a basis for- a just peace," he jnade commitments-
binding on the lives.of all Americans. On this indictment he
has asked Congress to take, steps. On these secrets he wants
(Congress to set the stage for a possible War* III.
In behklf of the people who are involved in this crisis, the
Senators have asked.Mr..Truman to. tell Americans just how
far they have, been committed as a natipn. Joining in sponsorship of the resolution, one of the 32 Senators recalled( the
American watchword, "United we stand, divided we fall."
"If we are united in our foreign policy," he said, "we will
stand. But how could we know whether we are united when
our foreign policy is in the-hands of one man?"
The resolution asks the President to state the specific violations which he believes have brought us,to the brink of war.
It asks thz^fe Congress and the'people be. told just what agree-.
iM^-werrmade at these mysterious conferences, which the
Administration has designated as the foreign policy fof 145

Is" Yugoslavia's alliance with Russia a double-cross, or is that
part of our secretly fixed foreign policy?
What of Czechoslovakia—agreed to, or a violation?
Who's the violator in Greece?
How far, by agreement, was Russia to go in.Italy?
What of Finland—agreement or violation?
These are the international issues which today threaten
Americans with war. These are the issues which today
prompt the huge spending of American dollars in other parts
of the world to halt the spread of Russian influence.
Population Growth
It is estimated-that the 1950 census of the United States
will show a population of about 148,000,000. 'This will "be a
great growth from the population of the country in 1940,
which was then 131,669,275. This prospective increase of.
nearly 16,400,000 persons represents rapid growth. It is a
greater increase than that recorded between 1930 and 1940,
when the increases-was a little less than 9,000,000.
Predictions were made some years ago that the United
States was approaching-a period when its population growth
«ould be considerably, less. Present prospects indicate that
ie United States is still a fast growing country. Theltime
when population increase may stop seems far ahead in the
future." .
Increasing population is a sign of prosperity. In times
of depression and adversity, there are not likely to be so
many marriages, and more people show hesitancy in having,
children. In times of prosperity, there are more marriages,
and more children are born. v
Improved living.conditions, and the great advances in the
cure of disease and promotion of health, have contributed to
the increase of. population. The average length of life has
increased, and the number of children Who die in infancy has
been greatly reduced., :
The idea was advanced many years ago, that world popular
tion has tended to increase faster than the means of subsis-
tance. This may have kbeen true in many countries in former
ages, but now with the^greatly developed methods of producing food, and the application of scientific methods of agriculture, it would seem tliat the pow-er to produce the means of
subsistance in. our country increases faster than the popula-,
tion. The United Stated seems able to support its increasing
population as fast as ii, grows.    -.    , ...

brightness, in the fact-jthat automobile fatalities twere lower

Four new assistant vice presidents
were named by directors of the
Hoover Company, when they met
Thursday afternoon, April 15, after
the annual meeting of stockholders
at the Hoover offices. They also reelected nine officers and declared
regular quarterly dividends on common and preferred stock.
In giving his report to the stockholders, Mr. H. W. Hoover, president, stated that the company's all
time high in electric vacuum cleaner sales during the past year was
not due entirely to a heavy pent-up
demand but also in part to the fine
sales organization, which had been
alerted well in advance and was
prepared -with tried and true procedures which proved a very important factor.
Although the company's sales and
earnings in 1947 were more than
double those of the previous year,
Mr. Hoover declined to predict that
the upward trend would continue
through this year.
He also told stockholders that the
company's production department
had built up a reserve of stocks to
take care of contingencies.
Factory inventories at the end
of 1947 -were a good two-thirds larger than they were for December of
the year before he stated.
These inventories should be looked upon as a blessing in disguise, he
said,, as_ they provide assuran.ce.
against what the future might have
iri store.
Mr. Hoover said while labor and
material costs have arisen considerable since the end of the war, resale
prices have increased an average of-
only 5.2 percent.
Despite continued shortages of materials, ^ the company's purchasing
department has been able to maintain an even flow of supplies, he
said.
Stockholders re-elected all directors. They are Mr. Hoover, F. G.
Hoover, H. Earl Hoover, W. W.
Steele, J. F. Hattersley, H. C. Price,

Fine Concert
Sunday evening, at the Community Christian Church, the Hiram
College a Cappelja Choir, under the
leadership of Francis W. Proctor,
gave an excellent exposition of fine
young voices. Ernest Fryer, director of the church choir, was the
chairman of arrangements.
Francis W. Proctor, director of the
choir, was assisted by Charles S.
Kidder of North Canton and Bert A.
Burda of Dickinson, North Dakota,
student directors. Mr. Kidder, the
son of Mr. and Mrs. O. P. Kidder
of Portage street, is majoring in
music. He is doing practice teaching in schools near Hiram.
The choice of program demonstrated the group's understanding and
seriousness of purpose. The program included four classical selections by the entire choir and four
numbers by a small, ensemble. Part
of "the"'program" was devoted ' to
some works from the 18th and 17th
centuries, that golden age of unaccompanied singing.
Especially agreeable was the precision and flexibility which marked
the performance, of this fine choir
of young voices. There is apparently nothing it can not do and do well.
Its tone quality is generally excellent, and it sings with ease an obvious delight in singing for its own
sake.
Included were several selections
by Wood and Bach and English and
early American folk songs and ballads. Mr. Kidder and Mr. Burda directed three religious numbers and
the program closed with four light
classics.
James Durkin is program chaii*-
man and has arrangements well Underway so the celebration -will be a
gala affair. The Gilmore Family,
presenting their popular-string'en-
semble, will furnish the "dinner
music. -
Russ Rudy, pianist and song
leader for the club, will present Ms-
quartet known as The Four Slee"B-
less Knights. The members of /the
quartet, are Dick Weirich. tenor;
Roland Swanson, lead; Bill Bishop,
baritone, and Don Humbert, bass.
These young men are all, stwdentg
of North Canton High School. --J
Bill Blank of the Community
Building will give the club a ■private showing of- the mo-ving' pictures filmed here in North Canton
15 years ago. It is interesting to
compare these pictures of ccrdmun-
ity life 15 years ago with our activities of today.
Mr. Robert Btafer, Herbert Grau-
man and Howard Patterson of the
Canton Toastmaster Club, will give
short talks on selected subjects to
give the Optimist Club members
the opportunity of learning just
how a toastmaster club functions.
A critic master will be present to
point out errors in English, pronunciation and gestures of the
speakers. He will also explain how
members are taught to observe £
time limit on all speeches With the
aid of a green light as a "warning"
signal and a red light as a ".stop"
Signal.
