We prate of being a "tolerant" people. We lecture about it, and write books and articles and feel excessively proud of ourselves for our "tolerant" attitude towards others. — But tolerance is not enough. It is negative in its virtue and far too often carries with it a Pharisaical condescension •which is utterly foreign to the American way of life. According to the dictionary "to tolerate" is "to suffer to be or be done without active opposition;" "tolerant" is "of a long suffering disposition," and "toleration" is "the act of allowing that which is not wholly approved." Surely, that is not what we mean when we talk of tolerance. Nor is it what we desire. There is no room for mere tolerance of one another, or of any group, in a democracy where the ideal set forth in our governmental credo is that "all men are created equal." , What we need today is not "toleration" between the many groups of diverse races, nationalities and creeds which . £0 to make up this America of ours—but a spirit of understanding, a knowledge of the good and the beauty and the wisdom each group contributes to the common whole.

But it is engaged upon a defense effort of tremendous proportions. And it's notable to find out that women are playing a very important part in that program. Here are some examples, chosen from various parts' of the country: A worrtan, one of the most distinguished scientists in the country, is now working full time on research for one large electrical company. In peacetime, she invented "safety glass"—the same mind that conceived that important safety idea is now working for national security I And another, who also works for an electrical company, is an ace draftsman who has designed the power plants for navy destroyers. In other companies where extremely delicate "work is required, the nimbi© fingers of still other women are at work. They are sewing parachutes, barrage balloons, dirigible bags. They are assembling -tiny motors and delicate radio equipment. Their keen eyes pass final inspection in many other companies, many lines of work. There are many deuqate operations where women are naturally, or by training, likely to be more adept than men. It is good news that they are working for defense in these fields, for in rriodern military theory, 16 or 17 civilians are needed to "back up" each man in uniform. __ With that fact in mind, we applaud our "battalion" of women in defense! Big Job The question of government price control has been much in the headlines of late. The problem of just how far the government will eventually have to go to keep prices within justifiable bounds, remains unsolved. In the meantime, important voluntary price control action has been taken by the retail industry. Retailers in all lines long ago realized the danger of price inflation resulting from war abroad, with its dislocating efFecVon world economy, and our unprecedented defense program at home which is releasing billions of dollars in a relatively short period of time. So retailers decided to do all they could to keep prices in line. They pledged themselves to fight profiteering. They pledged themselves to malce further efforts to reduce overhead costs and narrow marketing spreads. They pledged themselves to refrain from "scare advertising." They pledged themselves to" buy normally, so as to not -unnecessarily disturb the -wholesale markets., They pledged themselves to inform consumers of true conditions, in order to prevent hysterical buying. You can see the fruits of this" wise policy today. The cost of necessities has generally risen very little, and nothing resembling a price inflation has appeared. The cost of distribution continues to go down, and the producer continues to receive a rising proportion of the- final selling price of his product. In short, the American standard of living is being maintained during a time when the standard of living of other nations has dropped to rock-bottom. ,. '"r---Tour-retailer is doing a big job in-your interest. He's ■working harder, than ever to help make your dollar buy as "America Already at War" Speaker Declares Declaring that America was already at war in a world where wars were no longer declared in effect before the fighting began, Rev. G. B. Wetherbee, speaker at the Decoration day services held Friday morning in Witwer park stated, "No man liveth for himself" and that it is our duty to stand together with tho-le of like convictions with ourselves. -"This is not a question of our national life and freedom*, he'emphasized, "but goes further than that. It is a question of defending Christian civilization for others as well as ourselves.". Tracing the history of wars through the ages, he mentioned the Civil war as one fought for unity, the Spanish-American war as one in which- we played the role of Big Brother to a smaller country which held to the "same principles as our country. The World war he noted as the fight for democracy. "Democracy itself," he said, "is a product of Christianity and cannot be spread by arms. But we must he ready to defend it with arms if necessary." "Loyalty to God and to country go hand in hand for without lov- alty to God the country would collapse. American patriotism and Christian patriotism go together and the best way to preserve a nation is to draw it into closer fellowship with God. Without a Christian principle the country is not worth fighting for but with that principle it is worth any sacrifice we can make." The parade started on Harmon street at 9:45 and proceeded to Witwer park where the service *was held. Children from the grade school decorated small crosses set up there as the roll call of deceased veteranB of all wars was called. Mrs. Elmer Miller, president of the Legion Auxiliary placed a wreath on the tomb of all soldiers. School children, Boy Scouts, Legionaires and the auxiliary marched in the parade to the park. Services were held in North Canton cemetery before the parade and in Warstler cemetery afterward. O. C. Jester was general chairman assisted by Allen Schneider, S. W. Gray, D. E. Applegate, John Stover, D. W. Roush, E. J. Herbruck, and Frank Stover. World War Aviator Addresses Rotary Speaker Tells of Intensive Training Given Flyers John Garver of Strasburg, American aviator in the World war related some of his experiences in the war at the Rotary meeting Thursday evening. He told of the intensive training an aviator was given before he saw actual service, including several months of training in America, followed by weeks of training at "various air fields in England where the men" were taught actual combat flying, both in the handling of their planes and the use of their arms equipment. He stated that most** of the planes they used "were ones manufactured in England for the United States. Garver commented, in concluding his .talk, that the principles for which the country fought in 1914- 18 aire sjall worth preserving. He commented that the American Legion - has always stood for a prepared defense and said that if industry, labor, the professional men, the soldiers and, all other American citizens caught the American spirit," we will be able to defend and Rev.

Draft Calls Two For June 10 Using the theme, "The Next Frontier" as his commencement address in North Canton high, school Tuesday evening, Dr. John G. Lowry, dean of the school of education at Muskingum college, told North Canton high school graduates the frontier they would have to conquer is that of human control. "Man has conquered physical nature," he stated. "In his conquest of nature he has gained great control of power." Then he went on to show that although this conquest had done untold good for people, it lost much of its benefit because of lack of human control. He cited the case of the automobile to illustrate his point, showing how nearly perfect it was as a mechanical device, yet was such a great danger because of human failure to control it. "What we need as youth," he declared, "is to get ahold of ourselves. Through education can we profit by man's inventiveness in the physical world to profit in control of human nature." Along *with control he listed better health as a great contribution to human happiness. "Are we creating a philosophy for health and life as evidenced by the kind of life we seek," he questioned. The challenge he gave to the graduating class in concluding his speech was whether or not they would have enough intelligence, the proper taste and the character it would take to attain the best way of life and control of human nature. "He that controlleth his own spirit," he quoted, "is greater than he that taketh a city." One; of the highest honors given to any member of the graduating class was .awarded to. two boys this year because of their general usefulness, attitude and cooperation throughout their high school life. The boys were Max Rohrer and Jack Weinhart who were pre- sesnted.wiflx, watches givenibyUus- bStim'C Jewelry" store.' Recognition was given to'Other seniors who had won medals and letters for work accomplished in the school activities. There were 64 graduates who received their degrees, a smaller number than the last two previous classes have been.

Big Job The question of government price control has been much in the headlines of late. The problem of just how far the government will eventually have to go to keep prices within justifiable bounds, remains unsolved. In the meantime, important voluntary price control action has been taken by the retail industry. Retailers in all lines long ago realized the danger of price inflation resulting from war abroad, with its dislocating efFecVon world economy, and our unprecedented defense program at home which is releasing billions of dollars in a relatively short period of time. So retailers decided to do all they could to keep prices in line. They pledged themselves to fight profiteering. They pledged themselves to malce further efforts to reduce overhead costs and narrow marketing spreads. They pledged themselves to refrain from "scare advertising." They pledged themselves to" buy normally, so as to not -unnecessarily disturb the -wholesale markets., They pledged themselves to inform consumers of true conditions, in order to prevent hysterical buying. You can see the fruits of this" wise policy today. The cost of necessities has generally risen very little, and nothing resembling a price inflation has appeared. The cost of distribution continues to go down, and the producer continues to receive a rising proportion of the- final selling price of his product. In short, the American standard of living is being maintained during a time when the standard of living of other nations has dropped to rock-bottom. ,. '"r---Tour-retailer is doing a big job in-your interest. He's ■working harder, than ever to help make your dollar buy as "America Already at War" Speaker Declares Declaring that America was already at war in a world where wars were no longer declared in effect before the fighting began, Rev. G. B. Wetherbee, speaker at the Decoration day services held Friday morning in Witwer park stated, "No man liveth for himself" and that it is our duty to stand together with tho-le of like convictions with ourselves. -"This is not a question of our national life and freedom*, he'emphasized, "but goes further than that. It is a question of defending Christian civilization for others as well as ourselves.". Tracing the history of wars through the ages, he mentioned the Civil war as one fought for unity, the Spanish-American war as one in which- we played the role of Big Brother to a smaller country which held to the "same principles as our country. The World war he noted as the fight for democracy. "Democracy itself," he said, "is a product of Christianity and cannot be spread by arms. But we must he ready to defend it with arms if necessary." "Loyalty to God and to country go hand in hand for without lov- alty to God the country would collapse. American patriotism and Christian patriotism go together and the best way to preserve a nation is to draw it into closer fellowship with God. Without a Christian principle the country is not worth fighting for but with that principle it is worth any sacrifice we can make." The parade started on Harmon street at 9:45 and proceeded to Witwer park where the service *was held. Children from the grade school decorated small crosses set up there as the roll call of deceased veteranB of all wars was called. Mrs. Elmer Miller, president of the Legion Auxiliary placed a wreath on the tomb of all soldiers. School children, Boy Scouts, Legionaires and the auxiliary marched in the parade to the park.

Draft Calls Two For June 10 Using the theme, "The Next Frontier" as his commencement address in North Canton high, school Tuesday evening, Dr. John G. Lowry, dean of the school of education at Muskingum college, told North Canton high school graduates the frontier they would have to conquer is that of human control. "Man has conquered physical nature," he stated. "In his conquest of nature he has gained great control of power." Then he went on to show that although this conquest had done untold good for people, it lost much of its benefit because of lack of human control. He cited the case of the automobile to illustrate his point, showing how nearly perfect it was as a mechanical device, yet was such a great danger because of human failure to control it. "What we need as youth," he declared, "is to get ahold of ourselves. Through education can we profit by man's inventiveness in the physical world to profit in control of human nature." Along *with control he listed better health as a great contribution to human happiness. "Are we creating a philosophy for health and life as evidenced by the kind of life we seek," he questioned. The challenge he gave to the graduating class in concluding his speech was whether or not they would have enough intelligence, the proper taste and the character it would take to attain the best way of life and control of human nature. "He that controlleth his own spirit," he quoted, "is greater than he that taketh a city." One; of the highest honors given to any member of the graduating class was .awarded to. two boys this year because of their general usefulness, attitude and cooperation throughout their high school life. The boys were Max Rohrer and Jack Weinhart who were pre- sesnted.wiflx, watches givenibyUus- bStim'C Jewelry" store.'
