Washington Sale
In North Canton
To Feature "Buys"
Washington said, "I cannot
tell a lie." And helieve mc, it
sn't a lie either when 1 say lhat
North Canton is going to have
some of the biggest bargains ever in their first Washington Day
Sale, Wednesday, February 22,
224th birthday anniversary of the
first pre.sident of this nation.
This idea was launched some
years ago by merchants in
Washington, D.C. and year afler
year after year, thousands all
over the country have literally
drooled when thvy read of thc
bargains offered in the Washington stores. Then, last year, Can'ton merchants decided to copy
this effective advertising pro -
gram, and held a psimilar "bargain" day.
Not tu he out-done, North Canton   businessmen  this year will
will be many in line as the Norlh
Canton stores open their doors
next Wednesday
,' For the first time in history people have been discover
ing that they can substitute understanding for tolerance, re
conciliation for irreconciliation, brotherliness for bitterness, have their own Washington Day

hated those who were different.   They did not realize that      Pennies . to - doughnuts there
upon persons of other races and  other creeds they  were
projecting their own negative feelings.
_ Now that they have found that the source of much of
their hiostility, acted out or repressed, springs from a sense
of guilt, resulting from their unkindness and injustices, they
are cleansing their minds, hearts and souls. As they use
their newly acquired understanding of how human minds
work, how human hearts react, there is being born a new
and glorious hope for the human race, a hope that the spirit
of. true brotherhood is coming into being at last.
One group after another joins this movement toward
brotherliness; that is, the church, the home and the school;
the press, television and the radio.
There is a saying in Asia that all men arc brothers under the canopy of Heaven.
The problem of peace in our harassed world boils down j^g  por iast year t|10
to one word: brotherhood.    Peace cannot be built on hate;'received ]fi fire calls; with a cor-
it cannot be founded on conflict among nations; it cannot
be established by means of wars, hot or cold.
Not until men learn to be brothers can they attain freedom from fear and security from want. This is the central
lesson of our time, a lesson learned through the bitter clash
of words in' the United Nations, and taught all over again
by the- bloody clash of embattled hosts in Korea.
To. recall this hard-learned lesson is to realize the tremendous importance of the promotion of brotherhood among
men, in whicli. the National Conference of Christians and
Jews is taking a leading part. It is the best of all possible
incentives for'helping to'make Brotherhood Week, this year
and in the years lo come, a shining success.
.   Helping .to give the flesh and blood reality to the'ideal
-of -brotherhood -is cme of the most • effective ways of - br-ing-
ing.about peace, understanding and cooperation among the
nations.    It is one of the most valuable gifts anyone can
give to this generation and to posterity.
Fact and Fiction in Arm Race
Anti-Administration speakers have devoted much time
and energy to charges that Uncle Sam is losing the "armaments race" with the Soviet Union. .No one can prove or
disprove such statements, but it is hardly conducive to any
intelligent discussion to hurl such claims into the air as
anything more than frightening goblins

To Speak At
YMCA Meeting
The fact is that to date our government has detonated
some sixty-five thermonuclear and nuclear- bombs. Russia
exploded fourteen. None of the Soviet bombs was anything
like as powerful as the Ibig ones we have set off. Our important military bases overseas, which provide a clear-cut
and basic reason for our"continued interest in maintaining
strong alliances, have been provided with adequate atomic
power'to meet potential challenges. In the air, we have no
way of knowing the strength of the Soviet Union, but we
do know our own productive capacity, present output, and
experimental successes.
Whatever the exact figures may be, we have no ca,use
to become panicky. Let's just keep prepared, and the dangers cari be met.
The Balloons Work
Ther propaganda, balloons sent by. Radio Free. Europe*to
the countries behind, the Iron Curtain must be effective.
The Russian agents who rule'Czechoslovakia have appealed
to. the'International. Civil Aviation Organization, a branch
of the United,. Natifins, to take steps to stop them.
Their, argument is the menace caused by the fact that
each balloon is filled with hydrogen. They are also said to
be a hind£raflce to air. traffic.
As the Communists are notoriously indifferent to the
welfare of, anyone, who is not useful to them, these arguments sound ridiculous. They admit that the messages
scattered,by the balloons are picked up. They say that the
Collectors use them tp eke out paper drives, but they seem
tokhow^pretty well what messages the ballons contain. At
least they quote with indignation from the appeals to liberate themselves, addressed to the captive peoples of Eastern.
Europe.
This. Czech protest may be taken as a sign that our
balloon messages are making trouble for the Russians.        '
