OHIO, WEDNESDAY, MAY 12, 1948 6c PER COPY 102 Exhibits by Local Artists at Little Art Gallery May Show Builds 'Em Fast i A Workers9 Society If you are a. tradesman, or a skilled or unskilled laborer who works with his hands—if you call yourself a "worker"— you must indeed be thankful that you live in America. Not that you should be any more or less thankful, being- a doctor, lawyer, teacher, or whatever you are. But somebody has called this nation-a "workers' Republic," and I consider that pflfcase a good way to describe what we enjoy in this land of pt-Kity. Indeed there is no other country, whether socialized, partly socialized, or even communistic, that has given its workers more. A capitalistic America has enabled even "common" laborers to live lilce kings were accustomed to living not many years ago. We produce and enjoy the fruits of production. We must never forget that this has come about BECAUSE the American way of life makes it possible. D* you know of a better and happier workers' nation? Have the "isms" and ideologies of the experimenters produced'" anything better? Certainly they have not. No worker in the world comes anywhere close to drawing the pay or enjoying: the comforts of the average person right here in America. There is hardly a nation today that is not begging us to send them goods, or to bolster up their lagging economy in some way. Possibly there are shortcomings in the American method. But judging from the achievements of the past, the possibilities ahead, I can think of nothing more foolish than to discard any part of our American way. We can have a future as glorious as our past. We have new worlds of atomic energy, jet propulsion and electronics to explore, I can think of no other economic system, besides the kind we have in America, as being equal to. the opportunities ahead. -dJ/eJiave immediate needs, too. Our people could use. per- h^s five million new and improved homes in which to live. Millions1 of f&rm homes need electricity and running water. . We need more automobiles, and,our capacity for thpm,sterns- n&^rSp;d^imsiT:-M:6rScaxs mean more roads,.' One advancement calls for more. Friend, let me say that I know of no system that will bring these things to us—except that American way, of initiative and enterprise. In this workers' America, there are other things of great importance. As a worker, you are not told what you may do, or how to do it. You are not the mere chattel of some -state bureau. You can choose your job and your career, and so can your son., You can make your own decisions. WTiether you work for "an employer, or decide to work for yourself, you have a right to serve the world your own way. These things are important to you, and you are important to. your nation. No other land can show the progress America has made. Nowhere else'is there such a high standard of living—that .applies to everybody. Progress has flourished here as nowhere else. Why? We have been free to exercise ingenuity, incentive, competition and thrift. We have been free to- invest savings in more and better tools. We have not been subject to tyranny or despotism from government. What political dictatorship can match*this achievement? A water color, "Jazznocracy and an oil painting. "Street Parade" both by Joseph P. Kintz of James road, North Canton, were voted toos in the May Show of the Little Art Gallery at the North Canton Library, by Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Olmes, judges. The chief award was based on the two best works in different mediums by any one artist. One hundred and two exhibits are on display by 46 local artists, photographers, and craftsmen. At the preview held Wednesday evening, May 5, first prize in oils went to Lowell E. Smith for "Still Life," •second went to Madeline Roberts for "Flowers," third prize to Jean D. Kintz, for "Still Life No. 26'.' and honorable mention to Rena M. Pottorf for, "North Canton Supply." In -water colors the first prize was awarded to Theodore B. Daniels for "Pounding Surf at Bass Rocks," second prize to Mrs. Thelma Latta for "Old Boat House, Gloucester;" third prize to Anna Marie Smith for "Farm. Scene," and honorable mention to Mrs. Roy Frye for "October Afternoon." Herbert H. Rogers received honorable mention for "Repose" in black arid white. Herta K. Rainey received first prize in crafts for block printed cotton fabrics; second prize went to Mrs. A. R Basinger for weaving and metalwork; third prize to Maxine Solomon for a group of ceramics, and honorable mention to Mrs. Marie Shuttleworth for weaving.

On Friday evenin, May 7, an informal discussion of professional standards in art criticism was held for the artists and patrons of the show. Robert Rainey, director of the Little Art Gallery, also reviewed the judging of this year's show. Postoffiee to Hire Vehieles Business Men Listen to Union's Side of Story The union's side of the bargaining contract dispute at The Hoover Company plant was presented to North Canton Business men, at a meeting which was held in the Com- .munity Building, on Thursday evening, May 6. . The business men were addressed by Lynn Plastow, president of the Hoover local, and Thomas Connor of Cleveland, who has been assigned as advisor to officials of the local union. Herbert Herschberg, district U. E. W(. representative, who has taken part in new company-union contract negotiations, came to North Canton Thursday to confer on the dispute with the Hoover Company officials and then returned to his Cleveland headquarters. The union's one-year contract with the Hoover Company expired' Friday night, April 20, at midnight. As neither the national or local U. E. W. officers had filed a non- Communist affidavit as required under the Taft-Hartley Act. the Company therefore refused to bargain with the union. To qualify for NLRB certification under the Taft-Hartley Act, the union must file with the board "an affidavit executed ... by each officer of such labor organization, and the officers of any national or international labor organization of which it is an affiliate or constituent unit that he is not a member of the Communist party or affiliated with such party." "Open House" to Be Observed in Grade Building May 14th The North Canton Public Schools "Open House" will be observed in the Grade School Building* from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, May 14. At this time all the teaching staff will be on hand to answer any questions which the parents and friends of the pupils may bring: up. Displays in each room will show some of the work the students have done during the year. LOS ANGELES, CALIF.—10,000 veteran "field and factory" houses is the goal of the Kaiser Community Homes project here. As many as twenty packaged homes are delivered in trailers daily from the factory to the building* sites. A trailer hauls a 3-bedroom home "chassis"—a complete house except for floors, roof and outside wall surfacing—up to 50 .miles from the factory in just three hours.

Riggs will act as receptionists for the evening. The members of the Junior Woman's Club will be guests at the meeting. NORTH CANTON P-T. A. at It's Your Business America's growth and prosperity have been largely due to tali) fact that the nation has encouraged risk-taking and re- itfarded it well. And that is the only way it can continue to grow. \ - - / If every business were safe and its prospects assured, no special incentive would have to be offered for its development. It is the incentive of the risk that makes necessary the incentive of profit. It is.the incentive of profit that attracts the developers. - Risks are just as numerous today but there is a new factor to. contend with—a factor that will prevent the enterprise system from operating as'it has it the past and-will stifle progress unless, something is done scon. Tax rates have been stepped up to where, they threaten to smother risk enterprise. .. V - ' The result is that the risk-taker has, little incentive to. invest in a new venture. If he does succeed the government will collect most of the/reward-*^—but if he doesn't succeed he absorbs the-entire Jbss.-Even more-serious, he no longer has enough sayings left-Sifter taxes t(yuse for risk or venture capital. v .'. " '* .'■-■' -—>_--• The effect of confiscatory taxes taking up 82% of individual income is to soak up savings to such an ex.teirfc that .they are not sufficient to finance necessary new investment. This problem-of-m&intainirig' an adequate flow of venture capital is cf spepial qoncern-to all business and io Congress. "fhe Outlook io Peace We can look'.-iritoj.thfe* future' with full confidence that the world will"for the most part be at peace in these coming months. /There migHt.be armed conflict on a small scale in some places, as for. instance over the proposed division" of Palestine.vCivfl"war"may continue in "China. But there'is rib sign that" any leading nation is going to attack anybody. Most of the small countries want peace anyway, and have suffered so~severely from war that they do-not want to start anything of that sort. „u ; . ' ' . -,,.... The American people are- absolutely comvincea-that was is y a horrible evil, and they will never, start anything, of, that linature Genhany and Japan are-prostrate, and coud not be a Military peril for. many yeafs, if ever.

Uniform Marking Sought by Slate A program to obtain uniformity in the use and application of pavement markings has been announced by the _. Ohio Department of High ways in its campaign to make driving safer throughout the state. The uniform use of pavement markings is necessary, - according to authorities on traffic safety, in, order to avoid any possible confusion on the part of the motorist no matter where He or she drives in Ohio. Confusion, it is pointed out, "is often the begetter, of accidents.

A dance was dedicated to Jim Heckaman who was introduced and said goodbye before leaving for a five-week orientation course at West Point. The feature of the dance was the crowning of the 1948 prom queen Barbara Gill, lovely in a vellow dress. The throne stood in a setting.of pine trees,-ferns,-and wild flowers, representing Sherwood Forest. Both the queen and her junior attendant, Stella Mohler, in black taffeta, were presented carnation bouquets. Cards provided diversion for those who did not care to dance.

LUTHERAN CHURCH OFFERS SOUND FILM On Sunday evening, May 16, at 7:30 p in., (E.S.T:) Zion Lutheran Church of North Canton will feature the sound movie "Esther." It is the Old Testament story with all its drama of Esther, who .saved her people from extinction by a scheming politician. The service will be under the direction of Paul Hj-mes and Phyliss Essig. The film requires 50 minutes for showing. The public is cordially invited and an offering will be received to help defray the cost of the film. spare the little while it will take you to stop at the Mobile Unit,.which will be parked in front of theJ.'Com- munity Building, just remember','that some of your friends and neighbors,' the Rotarians and others who^ are helping them, have spent many Kburs in behalf of you and others to get the Unit hexe and it will be only plain old fashioned courtesy for you to show that you appreciate their efforts in behalf of the Community, by going and helping to make the survey a successful one. When the Unit was here before, all the school children were X-rayed. at that time. However it is not the younger people who are usually found affected but the older ones, like you and I, who have lived a long while and think there is nothing wrong with us, or feel in our minds that if there is, then we don't want to know. However think again, would you really feel that way if you knew that by staying away you would some day pass on what you might have, to that beloved grandchild of yours through a kiss? This trip of the Mobile Unit is for you mothers, fathers and grandmothers and grandfathers, protect your loved ones even if you don't give a care for yourself. You'd let no stone unturned to protect them from fire and flood and disease, you say, well this is your chance to prove that you mean what you say. Have that X-ray of your chest so you can say that you really are safe and no carrier of germs. You may have caught it from some plate in a restaurant, there have been carriers of TB found in some of them here in Stark County, someone with TB may have coughejl in the bus you were in or sneezed alongside of you at the show, how can you say You don't have TB unless you have the assurance of an X-ray of your chest that says you dont? Tuberculosis in the lung can be found long before you feel sick. An X-ray picture of thc chest and an examination by a good doctor will tell whether you have tuberculosis. If TB is found early and you start treatment at once you will get well again. If TB is not found early, getting rid of it is a tough job. When TB germs make a homo in the human body, they usually enter the lungs. Then one of three things can happen: A healthy body may fight off the germs. This is especially likely if the number of germs is small. Your body resistance is. on the job_ all the time getting rid of dangerous germs. Many people don't know that their bodies have fought a round of tuberculosis germs and have come out the winner. Very often an X-ray picture shows scars of old battles. Sometimes the body can't defeat all the TB germs. Millions of people have TB germs living in their bodies.' These germs wait for body resistance to weaken.* The body holds its own against the germs. The battle goes on. Neither side is winning. A chest X-ray can tell the doctor that a battle is in progress To keep an eye on how tlie battle is ^oing the doctor will wan', more X-rays and careful examinations and tests. If you are wondering where the money would come from should you be found with TB germs lurking inside your lungs, stop worying for, funds will be provided to take care of you, so you will get well again. Sometimes as often happens the body needs help if it is to win the battle. Tuberculosis germs can attack in such numbers and with such power that body resistance can't fight them off. Once the germs get the upper hand the body is in for some trouble. A person whose body is losing the fight against TB germs may not feel sick right away. After a while he loses his pep and feels tired all the time. He may begin to cough and to spit blood. X-ray can find the trouble long before a person feels sick. Early discovery means early recovery.

Postoffiee to Hire Vehieles Business Men Listen to Union's Side of Story The union's side of the bargaining contract dispute at The Hoover Company plant was presented to North Canton Business men, at a meeting which was held in the Com- .munity Building, on Thursday evening, May 6. . The business men were addressed by Lynn Plastow, president of the Hoover local, and Thomas Connor of Cleveland, who has been assigned as advisor to officials of the local union. Herbert Herschberg, district U. E. W(. representative, who has taken part in new company-union contract negotiations, came to North Canton Thursday to confer on the dispute with the Hoover Company officials and then returned to his Cleveland headquarters. The union's one-year contract with the Hoover Company expired' Friday night, April 20, at midnight. As neither the national or local U. E. W. officers had filed a non- Communist affidavit as required under the Taft-Hartley Act. the Company therefore refused to bargain with the union. To qualify for NLRB certification under the Taft-Hartley Act, the union must file with the board "an affidavit executed ... by each officer of such labor organization, and the officers of any national or international labor organization of which it is an affiliate or constituent unit that he is not a member of the Communist party or affiliated with such party."

A. at It's Your Business America's growth and prosperity have been largely due to tali) fact that the nation has encouraged risk-taking and re- itfarded it well. And that is the only way it can continue to grow. \ - - / If every business were safe and its prospects assured, no special incentive would have to be offered for its development. It is the incentive of the risk that makes necessary the incentive of profit. It is.the incentive of profit that attracts the developers. - Risks are just as numerous today but there is a new factor to. contend with—a factor that will prevent the enterprise system from operating as'it has it the past and-will stifle progress unless, something is done scon. Tax rates have been stepped up to where, they threaten to smother risk enterprise. .. V - ' The result is that the risk-taker has, little incentive to. invest in a new venture. If he does succeed the government will collect most of the/reward-*^—but if he doesn't succeed he absorbs the-entire Jbss.-Even more-serious, he no longer has enough sayings left-Sifter taxes t(yuse for risk or venture capital. v .'. " '* .'■-■' -—>_--• The effect of confiscatory taxes taking up 82% of individual income is to soak up savings to such an ex.teirfc that .they are not sufficient to finance necessary new investment.

The public is cordially invited and an offering will be received to help defray the cost of the film. spare the little while it will take you to stop at the Mobile Unit,.which will be parked in front of theJ.'Com- munity Building, just remember','that some of your friends and neighbors,' the Rotarians and others who^ are helping them, have spent many Kburs in behalf of you and others to get the Unit hexe and it will be only plain old fashioned courtesy for you to show that you appreciate their efforts in behalf of the Community, by going and helping to make the survey a successful one. When the Unit was here before, all the school children were X-rayed. at that time. However it is not the younger people who are usually found affected but the older ones, like you and I, who have lived a long while and think there is nothing wrong with us, or feel in our minds that if there is, then we don't want to know. However think again, would you really feel that way if you knew that by staying away you would some day pass on what you might have, to that beloved grandchild of yours through a kiss? This trip of the Mobile Unit is for you mothers, fathers and grandmothers and grandfathers, protect your loved ones even if you don't give a care for yourself. You'd let no stone unturned to protect them from fire and flood and disease, you say, well this is your chance to prove that you mean what you say. Have that X-ray of your chest so you can say that you really are safe and no carrier of germs. You may have caught it from some plate in a restaurant, there have been carriers of TB found in some of them here in Stark County, someone with TB may have coughejl in the bus you were in or sneezed alongside of you at the show, how can you say You don't have TB unless you have the assurance of an X-ray of your chest that says you dont? Tuberculosis in the lung can be found long before you feel sick. An X-ray picture of thc chest and an examination by a good doctor will tell whether you have tuberculosis. If TB is found early and you start treatment at once you will get well again. If TB is not found early, getting rid of it is a tough job. When TB germs make a homo in the human body, they usually enter the lungs. Then one of three things can happen: A healthy body may fight off the germs. This is especially likely if the number of germs is small. Your body resistance is. on the job_ all the time getting rid of dangerous germs. Many people don't know that their bodies have fought a round of tuberculosis germs and have come out the winner. Very often an X-ray picture shows scars of old battles. Sometimes the body can't defeat all the TB germs. Millions of people have TB germs living in their bodies.' These germs wait for body resistance to weaken.* The body holds its own against the germs. The battle goes on. Neither side is winning. A chest X-ray can tell the doctor that a battle is in progress To keep an eye on how tlie battle is ^oing the doctor will wan', more X-rays and careful examinations and tests. If you are wondering where the money would come from should you be found with TB germs lurking inside your lungs, stop worying for, funds will be provided to take care of you, so you will get well again. Sometimes as often happens the body needs help if it is to win the battle. Tuberculosis germs can attack in such numbers and with such power that body resistance can't fight them off. Once the germs get the upper hand the body is in for some trouble. A person whose body is losing the fight against TB germs may not feel sick right away. After a while he loses his pep and feels tired all the time. He may begin to cough and to spit blood. X-ray can find the trouble long before a person feels sick. Early discovery means early recovery.
