-■'-.iVre&XJX Diplomats Are Talkative Washington, D. C, April—For those of us who live close to the seat of Government there is nothing very alarming in the statements' and documents of the Nazi White Book, which dug up last year's accounts of conversations by Ambassadors Bullitt and Kennedy. Those diplomats talked with other European diplomats and they likely didn't concentrate on the weather, or ladies hats. As a matter1 of fact diplomats are in the habit of talking straight-from-the-shoulder at one another. These conversations may be more or less explanatory, but whatever is their purpose they are 'off the record." And the World knows that the sympathies of the people of the United States are on the side of the Allies. The Nazis know that Bullitt, Kennedy, et al, did not and could not commit the U. S. Government to enter the European war on the side of the Allies. Besides, one only needs to stop to think about it, to realize that Sumner Welles re- centy went to Europe as the personal representative of the President in order to find out from Hitler, Mussolini, Chamberlain, the French Premier and others the secret truths behind this war. Those talkative diplomats all talked by the hour with Welles and the latter found, out what those fellows had 'up their sleeves." The facts are, as President Roosevelt said a few days ago, that "propaganda eminating from Europe now should be taken with a grain o£„salt, or preferably two, or three grains." That seems to skip the issue as to whether any documents in the White Book were forgeries—a safe precaution when dealing with the Hitlers. There's nothing to get excited about; nothing to create a Congressional investigation performance—no matter how ' much documentary, or other "proof" there is about this diplomatic gab-fest. All the United States has to be concerned about is the maintaining of absolute neutrality that is strong enough in every joint to keep us out of the European war. Bullitt spent part of a day at the Capitol and satisfied most of the Senators. Yankee Thrift Turns Tide Real prosperity can be brought again in this country only by a revival of "old fashioned Yankee thrift and individual initiative." This is not opinionated theory but a hard fact, and the State of Connecticut is taking full advantage of it. While the rest of the country continues on a "witches' hunt" for Utopia, Connecticut is determinedly pursuing a course of progress. The incumbent governor was elected on a platform pledge to establish a "friendly government"—friendly to business, industry and labor. The state budget has been balanced, without resorting to new taxes—relief rolls have been halved—factory space is at a premium—160 new companies moved to Connecticut in 1939 alone—and employment is higher than in 1-929. The'state has found that 'there is no substitute for a good job in private industry." No effort was made to "steal" industry from other states, or to use high pressure methods. Labor standards were not sacrificed. In fact industries which move across the border in search of "cheap" labor are not welcome. Sweatshops have no place in American life. Politicians who claim that private enterprise is a "worn out" system, have only to observe Connecticut to have their claims shattered. The only thing that's momentarily "worn out" private enterprise is constant ballyhoo, indiscriminate legislation and excessive taxation deliberately directed toward destructive ends. America's millions of unemployed can learn a lesson from Connecticut. By contrast they can see the damage that constant political persecution has done to the private institutions by which we all must live. Where there is individual opportunity there is progress; where there is no individual opportunity there is no progress. For Health's Sake "Drink more milk" is sound dietary advice. - This is a country with an unequalled standard of living -r-but milk consumption by adults as well as children, is far below the level health experts' believe advisable. Various health organizations are working to stimulate milk consumption. And, excellent work is being done. They emphasize the value of milk—and they assure the consumer of a sanitary, disease-free, high quality product. During the past few years, with the help of progressive farmers, immense progress has been made in the technique of milk production and handling. More milk would mean better health for ninety-nine people out of a hundred. * i.^sf- ■ .v>t VOL. 17—No. 24 NORTH CANTON,- STARK COUNTi, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 1940 $1.50 PER-YEAR Music Groups Eligible For State Event Glee Clubs and Mixed Chorus Rated as Excellent; Nearby Schools Also Qualify For Columbus Gathering North Canton's three entrants won. eligibility to the Ohio State contests at Columbus, April 19 and 20, by competing last week-end at Kent State university, where the Northeastern Ohio Competitive Music festival held its annual contests.

Hardest hit was the home occupied by George W. Andrews. The wind raised the roof, tearing off almost all shingles on-the -»-west side, knocked out porch posts, and when the" roof dropped back, an open space between it and the-siding remained. Plaster was cracked in every room of the house and gravel and stones carried by the wind shattered several windows. At the residence of H. C. Sauder, nearby, a garage was lifted and carried 15 feet where it collapsed. Contents were destroyed. Sauder is superintendent of Jackson school. Working in a field nearby when the storm, struck, were John Heinbuch and his grandfather, Pete Heinbuch. Young Heinbuch lay flat on the ground and his grandfather clung to a tree, the force of the wind turning the latter around several times. Neither was-injured. Eye witnesses stated they saw the tornado coming from the west, twisting as it travelled, coming to the ground as it reached the allotments, and was seen to rise and disappear at the eastern end of the allotment almost as suddenly as it struck. Cellars of a number of houses were flooded by the heavy rains which followed- o Show Paintings Nebraskan's Water Colors Exhibited at Library On exhibition at the North Canton library are twenty-six water color pictures by Walter Buckingham Swan, a Nebraska artist who has studied in schools in the United States, Paris and London, Mr. Swan has exhibits in most of the galleries of the country and his work has taken him to all parts of America, from the Gaspe country to the missions of California, The group of pictures on display here include paintings from many places, In working with water colors, the artist sees with a fresh eye and paints confidently.

Here's One For Bou)ling Books Wagner, Jones, Roll Identical Scores in Class A In the Industrial Class A bowling league on Monday night, two members of the Wagner's Restaurant team came up with a unique score in their match against the Lee Taverns. Giles Wagner rolling fourth and Bob Jones at the anchor position came through with three game totals of 574. That in itself is not a feati but the maimer in which they both obtained the same total tells the story. Although both were unaware of the fact until the match was over, they had rolled- identical scores of 158, 218, and 198, in the order named. According to followers of the sport, this had never occurred on the Canton alleys before. -- - ^ j,—= s—•-- Young Men Honored At Conference Take Part In Teachers' Meet HOOVER DANCE FRIDAY TO AWARD TROPHY it Economic Vivisection 99 In a recent radio address, Congressman Emanuel Celler of New York made this pertinent observation on the times we live in: "We have tried many ways—spending, borrowing, puni|p-priming, and taxation—for reform, to say nothing of other regulatory laws that have tended to hamstring the capitalist system. The only alternative remaining seems to be to build America's national income by letting American business build it. The one thing needed is some sort of a guaranty that the era of economic vivisection is over, so that enterprise can get up off the floor, dust itself off and go to work, without the ever-present fear of being blackjacked." Will Be Held at Meyer's Lake Ballroom April 12 Hoover employes and their friends will make merry at the spring dance to be held at Meyer's lake ballroom on Friday evening, April 12, under the sponsorship of the activities committee.

Today his country is the new scene of the hitherto stalemated second World war as the Allies and Nazis battle for control of the country's vital seaports. W. J. Evans, chairman of the local Seal Sale for Crippled Children states that it is not too late, and that anyone who might have been out of town or who might have put the letter aside for a more convenient time will find it possible to respond at this time. Those who failed to receive stamps and wishing to make a contribution can do so by seeing Ralph Young at the Citizens Savings and Loan. Mr. Young is treasurer of the local organization. The use of the seals, it has been pointed out, is important as they serve as missionaries when used on stationery, helping to create and keep alive the interest of the public in this- great humanitarian work. Mr. Evans states that his committee is truly grateful to all who have so generously supported the work for crippled children. 3R.

The only alternative remaining seems to be to build America's national income by letting American business build it. The one thing needed is some sort of a guaranty that the era of economic vivisection is over, so that enterprise can get up off the floor, dust itself off and go to work, without the ever-present fear of being blackjacked."

Today his country is the new scene of the hitherto stalemated second World war as the Allies and Nazis battle for control of the country's vital seaports. W. J. Evans, chairman of the local Seal Sale for Crippled Children states that it is not too late, and that anyone who might have been out of town or who might have put the letter aside for a more convenient time will find it possible to respond at this time. Those who failed to receive stamps and wishing to make a contribution can do so by seeing Ralph Young at the Citizens Savings and Loan. Mr. Young is treasurer of the local organization. The use of the seals, it has been pointed out, is important as they serve as missionaries when used on stationery, helping to create and keep alive the interest of the public in this- great humanitarian work.
