Twenty Drivers Answer Charges in Mayor's Court for Violating State Laws and Rules of Safety
Democracy Begins at Home
Defense is a big word. It conjures up pictures of sprawling industrial plants working night and day; of great, gray
Ships moving silently through faraway oceans; of clouds of
airplanes and beacons criss-crossing the night sky.
'    Yes, it's a big word and it seems a far cry from Defense
of your home—and of mine.
Yet actually Defense is being built by the work of individual men and women, each for health and comfort and
morale. It's his base of operation, no matter what kind of
job'he's doing; the place he starts out from in the morning
and returns to at night. If it's a good home—comfortable,
well managed, congenial—he is sure to do a better job than
if it's a home that's poorly equipped and carelessly run.
So, you see, back of the' flood of armaments that are
being turned out in America today—back, too, of-the training camps and our growing army—are the homes of the nation— yours and mine and millions of others in towns and
cities and country places from coast to coast.
This is as it should be, because, in the last analysis, it's
the homes of the country we're arming to defend. If we
thought they were perfectly safe today there'd be no reason
for spending- all this time and effort; ... all these billions
of dollars on guns and ships and planes which are no use to
us in ordinary every-day life. We'd spend our time and money
making things for our homes instead—as we shall when this
emergency is over.
Meanwhile, the job of tlie great majority of the women
of the country is to make these homes havens of refuge in
a troubled world. To keep them cheerful . . . comfortable . . .
congenial and,to. see that each one is a "little democracy—a
place where "the" family lives together in freedom yet with
respect for-the rights of each individual.
r. It is possible, th^y say, to have the greatest, best equipped army in the *wor|*l and still lose our traditional American
. freedoms of speech "7| . worship . .'. and enterprise. But not
nen keep siic|*j -freedoms
Speeding and reckless driving in. North Canton must be
brought to a stop if pedestrians and motorists alike will be
able to continue on their business in any degree of safety.
Last Wednesday evening Deputy Marshal Ray Huff was
injured while on duty, bringing a speeding motorist back to
the village hall. He had stopped the motorist south of town
and was waiting for him to turn around to return to town.
Huff  hart  swung   out    into    t*.

Quick, Henry, the Movies!
Going to the movies is a national habit. Countless defense workers and would-be defense workers are now finding that it's also part of their jobs, for today industry is
using movies to train men and women quickly in special defense skills. Tn these pictures, though, Clark Gable is supplanted by an engine lathe and a drill press takes on more
interest—momentarily—than Marlene Dietrich.
For some time several-large companies have made movies of their own industrial processes as part of their employee training programs. Now comes word that the United
States Office of Education is making 50 reels of sound film
covering many different types of important industrial operations, and these are being made available to companies large
and small, defense training centers and vocational schools.
Many industries cooperated in making the pictures, even
though in some cases the movie work caused considerable interruption in plant schedules.
The urgent demand for more and more emergency production has made it essential that new employees be trained
as quickly as possible, and education through movies is
proving one of the most effective ways of training them. Industry isn't missing any bets in helping workers to fit themselves for 1heir jobs in our defense of freedom.
Healing Our Wounds
The report was made to the American College of Surgeons that a wonderful new drug has been discovered, called
gramicidin, which has astonishing powers of healing sores
and wounds.
Medical science contends with one of life's deepest mysteries when it takes wounded (lesh and tries to restore it to
normal conditions. The human body has in itself great
powers of recovery. If you give your hand a severe cut it
may be able to recover'of itself if you can keep it from being-
infected. Sometimes the mysterious forces of decay and deterioration so overpower those of health and recovery, that
even a slight sore or wound may have a fatal ending: -The
wonderful surgeons who .perform such miracles of healing
with their .marvelous science have ever before them this
problem of how to heal the tissues which they are forced to
sever. If this new remedy proves what is expected, countless people will be restored to health, and they will bless the
ceaseless toil of .the scientists who made their recovery possible. . . .
Prowress pf the Cornhuskers
Twenty-two. farmers recently gathered at Tonica,. 111.,
representing eleven states m the national co'rnhusking contest. The city folks,used to" say that farmers as a rule were
rather slow. If they could see these champion cornhuskers
they would change their minds. A good husker would rip off
those brown shreds with a speed so rapid you could hardly
see the ear as it was being stripped.
Comhusking has been for years a favorite rural sport.
The boys and girls used to gather in droves for their husking bees, and plenty of red ears.led to sentimental scenes.
Husking contests and parties suggest that all the fun of life
is not found amid the bright lights and the jazz music, but
that there is plenty of it to be had out where the crickets
chirp* and "tire -imflfirbg moaneth.
