THE NE6-LECTED MONUMENT v?4 North Canton Legion Post to Wold Annual Armistice Dinner Vv,. —No. r* NORTH CANTON, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1949 Ge PER COPY Armistice Day 1949 "Here lie we dead because we did not choose / To shame the land from which we sprung. Life is perhaps no great thing to lose, , But young men think it is, / And we are young." Those of us who remember Armistice Day 1918 recall not merely the wild excitement with which the .news was greeted, but even more, the deep sense of relief and the keen rapture at the thought of peace. We felt that not only this war but all wars were over. But as the years came and went, we celebrated Armistice Day more and more solemnly, in the belated realizations that that "Armistice" truly meant "the temporary cessation of hostalities." We wanted peace so much that we sought it by compromise and equivocation. We overlooked the fact that there is—there can be—no truce in the fight between right and wrong. Ours should have been the task of bearing high the torch of liberty, of seeing that the light of freedom dispelled the darkness of oppression. We did not fulfill our appointed mission. And so once again there were lads who died in their glory, a,nd who would never be old. Differing in class, color or creed, their mangled, tangled remains lie in common graves, in land honored by the fact that there they died that others might be free. We have been given one more chance. We are again facing an Armistice Day in a world where peace has been declared. This time we MUST keep faith with those who have gone before. Tolerance, justice, equality, freedom, democracy—are not just words. They were ideals for which men—our husbands, sons, brothers, died. These honored dead must not be allowed to have given their lives in vain. We cannot again compromise with the principles for which they died. The promises we made must be fulfilled for all the people of all the earth, that those who come after us may live as free men, unafraid in a free world. Tlie North Canton American Legion Post No. 419 will hold their annual Armistice Dinner on Saturday, November 12 at 6:30 p.m. in the grade school auditorium Louis J.

Hoover Go. Prepares for Christmas Sales Production of electric cleaners by The Hoover Company has been stepped up in anticipation of a Christ m a s demand comparable with 1948. Tn Kancpc pif,. Ar...... * *. i . i Frank G. Hoover, president, says in Kansas Cit.v, Missouri, twenty persons, ranging in'that it is the compass'aim to prevent any Hoover dealer from going into the Christmas buying season without adequate stocks to meet an expected near-record volume of sales. Over-all sales of the company have been improving steadily since mid-summer, he continued, and now generally are only a few percentage points below win.t ^they were at this time last year. "While a rise in Hoover sales is seasonal at this time of year, current figures indicate the rise is more than seasonal." The steel strike will affect Hoover production only if it is prolonged several months, he stated. Current orders received by the company are particularly high for age from infants to 8(1 lived in a two story residence which j had been originally built for one family. In an early morning' fire seven of the twenty lost their lives and others were sent to the hospital. That is the kind of housing few people in small towns know nothing about. No American community should tolerate such a situation. It is an undesirable situation even though a fire never occurred. To contend that we cannot help such a situation is a confession of futility that this country should be ashamed to make. The same week Congress voted $1,314,010,000 for military aid to Europe. Common sense demands that we ask if so much can be spent on a gamble that Europeans won't be at each other throats again in the next few years, why can't something be done to remove this un-American blot of our own people living in tdo crowded quarters. This is a bigger question today than many seem, to realize.- Is it that we do not care, or 'do we really lack the ingenuity to solve our problems here at home ? . .

The workers and the producers in the end pay all the taxes. If the federal $ax collections were piled in $1000 bill it would make a stack 14,652 feet high, says one congressman. That is hard to believe for the money doesn't stay in the treasury long enough to be stacked three inches high.

Armistice Day 1949
"Here lie we dead because we did not choose
/ To shame the land from which we sprung.
Life is perhaps no great thing to lose,
, But young men think it is,
/ And we are young."
Those of us who remember Armistice Day 1918 recall
not merely the wild excitement with which the .news was
greeted, but even more, the deep sense of relief and the keen
rapture at the thought of peace. We felt that not only this
war but all wars were over.
But as the years came and went, we celebrated Armistice
Day more and more solemnly, in the belated realizations that
that "Armistice" truly meant "the temporary cessation of
hostalities." We wanted peace so much that we sought it by
compromise and equivocation. We overlooked the fact that
there is—there can be—no truce in the fight between right
and wrong.
Ours should have been the task of bearing high the torch
of liberty, of seeing that the light of freedom dispelled the
darkness of oppression. We did not fulfill our appointed mission.
And so once again there were lads who died in their
glory, a,nd who would never be old. Differing in class, color
or creed, their mangled, tangled remains lie in common
graves, in land honored by the fact that there they died that
others might be free.
We have been given one more chance. We are again facing an Armistice Day in a world where peace has been declared.
This time we MUST keep faith with those who have
