* IT MAY FEEL LIKE THIS TO YOU .-.„■ UNTOUCH/ 3-lQ-MfMZ. ^5^/how will jt feel to the jap ? ^yy^v&y l.f. i. Normandie and My Kitchen The French liner, Normandie, one of the greatest ships any nation has ever built, lies, prostrate on her side in the harbor of New York and all America is concerned about it. I am doing my everyday housework more thoroughly and conscientiously than ever before since I read the details of this disgraceful disaster. And what connection is there between a great Atlantic liner and my little house so far inland? Why does the shocking tragedy of the ship spur me on to better work? The Normandie burned and then capsized, they tell us, not because of sabotage, but because of carelessness. Because the men at work transforming her from a luxury liner to a great troop ship were not doing their level best in the most workman-like way they knew, and because improper precautions were not taken. Had this catastrophe been the result of enemy activity, 10i it would be bad enough and the whole country would mourn the loss. But to have it happen because of inefficiency and a spirit of "this'll do—this'll get by" is something infinitely worse. It points a ruthless finger at a soft spot in our national life. So I am going to clean my cupboard shelves this morning and from now on keep them tidy. I'm going to the market and pick out all the fruits and vegetables and meats • I buy instead of ordering them by 'phone. I'm going to keep strict household accounts as John has always wanted me to do. It-isn't much—my own conversion to hard, conscientious work. It isn't going to make the country over. But, if every woman in the United States who was shocked by the fate of the Normandie were to take herself and her family in hand, the whole country would change—and quickly, too! A new standard for efficient**;, n-yl t^qj; "Highness, would be ;*->». yid wes would be able to take the offensive in this war many months sooner than we will if we continue to bungle. We've been an easy going, pleasure loving people. Things have come to this generation with very little effort. Even in recent months, we've laughed at the idea of real danger. A country the size of this with all of our resources will win the war hands down! j|fe But will we—if we continue to let things like the burn ing of the Normandie happen? Will we if every one of us does, not buckle down now to do his very best ? This is a war of production and every workman in every factory needs to feel his responsibility and to do his job, no matter how small it is, with care and skill and pride. Too many of us have lost the sense of responsibility and «hard work that enabled our forefathers to carve a great nation out of a wilderness. We've relied on the other fellow— or on the government. , We're all in this war together—you and I in our homes, the men in the factories and offices, as well as the boys in uniform. We expect them to do their best no matter how difficult or unpleasant. Isn't it their right to expect us back home to do the same? VOL. 19—No. 20 .NORTH CANTON, STARK COUNTY, OHIO,. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, 1942 $1.50 PER YEAE Legion to Collect Scrap Metal Here Saturday Stark Farmers io Get Quesiionaires Employment Service Conducts Survey to Aid Study of Labor Shortage As a preliminary step toward avoiding a farm labor shortage in Stark county during the coming months, more than 4700 farmers in the Stark county district will receive post card questionaires this week from the Canton office of the United __States Employment Service. Questions asked the farmers are "Will you need farm workers during 1942? and Will ycu be available to work on other farms dining 1942?" According to John M. Hayne, local employment office manager, the same technique which has enabled the employment service to function as the labor recruiting agency for war industry will be used in supplying the farmer with adequate help. He pointed out that expanded field office facilities will be provided wherever necessary to meet the farmer's needs. "Our main concern right now," he stated, "is to get these cards back properly filled out. Just as soon as we find out how many farmers need additional help, we will begin a campaign to recruit, classify and allocate workers where they are most needed." Stoner Funeral Held Tuesday Retired Farmer Life-Long- Resident of Lake Twp. John B. Stoner, 87, outstanding farmer in this district for many years and life long- resident of Lake township, died at his home in Mt. Pleasant Saturday afternoon, March 7, 1942. He retired from active farm life about 20 years ago after spending 46 years on his farm. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Sarah Stoner; one son, Harrison Stoner of R. D. 6; one daughter, Mrs. Homer Correll of Ravenna; one sister, Mrs. Lydia Vine of Greentown, and four grandchildrer. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon from the home in charge of Rev. S. D. Dillow and Rev. M. Dean Marston. Burial was in West Nimishillen cemetery with the Myers & Son parlors in charge. Police to Get New Booth Fire Caused By Short Burns Interior of Old- Building Village council approved the erection of a new police booth at their meeting Monday evening, following a fire which burned out the interior of the present booth early Saturday morning. The blaze apparently started from a short in the radio shortly before 2:45 a. m. and was discovered by William Willaman, acting police officer at the time. The fire department was called and extinguished the fire which destroyed the radio, telephone and damaged other contents of the booth. Damage was estimated at $40. The property committee of the village council will determine the construction of a new booth and where it is to be placed. At the present time the structure stands I on the north east corner of the square but council members feel that this is a hazard that can be eliminated if it is erected at another place. n licbael Ghefpka Sr. Dies in Home Saturday Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon for Michael Chelpka Sr., father of Michael Chelpka of North Canton, who died in his home at 1441 Harrisburg rd. NE. late Saturday afternoon, March 7, 1942, following a brief illness. Mr. Chelpka, 67, was a retired tinplate worker. His wife died six months ago. He is survived, in addition to his son in North Canton, by three other sons, John and Steven Chelpka of Canton and Paul of Cleveland; and four daughters, Mrs. May Gal- ias of Youngstown and Susan, Kathryn and Anna Chelpka of the home. - The body was taken to the home Sunday afternoon from the Jack parlors and the funeral was held from the Church of God at llth St. SW. with Rev. W. C. Roark officiating. Burial was in North Lawn cemetery. com* SCOUT SO ANNIVERSARY WEEK-MARCH 1218 Girl Scouts Observe Anniversary With Pledge of Service to Nation at the home of Mrs. Elma Nelson on Tuesday.

Church Contest to End Sunday Thirty-One From Reformed Church Place Entries Thirty-one boys and girls who attend the Zion Reformed church have entered the 20th annual Stewardship and Essay poster contest sponsored by the Evangelical and Reformed churches of the United States. The contest, which started the first of the year will end on Sunday, March 15. The entries will be judged and two for each of the four age groups in the contest will be chosen as the local winners and sent to Philadelphia, for final judging. The theme of all the entries is "God's Plan for Christian Living." Miss Sadie Richards is in charge of the contest, which is open to all persons between the ages of 9 and 21. Those who are making- entries are Mary Ellen Smith, Ned Stull, Mary and Alice Messenheimer, Bill Poole, Bolon'Downey, Violet and Leland Schneider, Mary Surbey, Shirley DeMuesy, Yvonne Tunni- cliffe, Richard Domer, Florence Earle, Mary Jane Elson, Shirley It I Had Known! . We can no longer afford the luxury of post-mortems but we cannot afford to ignore the lessons we saw learned in blood and suffering- abroad. We cannot afford differing- or disunity among our own people—the thinking in terms of groups, the demanding of special privileges, the constant asking for special favors or concessions. This war can only be won by the active participation and all-out effort of every one of us. There are no longer any non- combatants. We are all in it. Wars are won by all the people, not by any one group. How can we hold out for personal advantage when we consider the sacrifices being made by those who are fighting to keep the enemy from our shores ? Their lives are laid down for us, and-it is up to us to put aside differences and critical discussion of each other to get together and back up our soldiers. We cannot afford to be separated. We have seen what happened abroad when disunity entered. We have seen what seeking after special privileges cost. Thyssen learned it in Germany when the monster his money had helped ereate devoured him. The French workers learned it, when the trade union movement was dissolved in France. There is one paragraph quoted in many papers today which I wish we all had to learn: "What does that Frenchman—soldier, workman, politician, or business man think today? Probably it's something like this, 'I wish I had been less greedy for myself and more anxious for my country; I wish I had realized you can't beat off a determined invader by a quarreling, disunited people at home; I wish I had been willing to give in on some of my rights to other Frenchmen, instead of giving up all of them to a-foreigner; I wish I had realized other Frenchmen had rights, too; I wish I had known that patriotism is work, not talk; giving, not getting'." , We must stand together. We cannot afford the luxury of standing on our rights. We must work today for a common aim, for the good of ALL of us if ANY of us are to survive. We do not want to have to say "If I had known"1 when it is too late.

In cooperation with the navy department, boys in model plane clubs throughout the country are building tiny navy models to scale which are used in training gunners. The planes are not flying models. The North Canton club, working through the Akron Y will start on this project in the near future. The models they will build are approximately eight inches long and will be built.from plans furnished by the navy department. The materials will be furnished by the Akron Wonjjan's N. A. A. who are sponsoring the Akron activities. When they are completed they will be turned over to the navy division in Akron. The members of the club expressed an interest in this navy projeet and the work was arranged and planned by Bill Blank, club adviser. The club is one of the most recent to be organized at the Community building and has been carrying on an active program. While American fighting men are winging their way across battle skies these younger boys' at home who are keenly interested in aviation can do their part to keep those fighters safe as they work at their model planes, helping the U. S. Navy train men for the service. Cinema Glub With The North Canton Cinema club met Friday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Elson. The host showed news reels of high lights in 1941 as well as some movies which he had taken. The February meeting was held at-the home of Ed Schmidt on Mt.

On. Saturday of this week North Canton citizens will be given' an excellent opportunity to show what they can, do .to keep thir soldiers well armed and their steel mills rolling with more equipment for the far flung battle fronts. That'is the day set by the American Legion for the local drive for scrap metal. In order to keep the steel mills going full force there must be more scrap iron and this must come from the homes and the farms of Americans throughout the country. There is no other source for it. So it is up to every home and every individual to contribute anything they can to this cause. Only a. small donation from each home will do much to replenish the supply of sfirap metal needed—which. must be obtained if America is tb win the war. Members of the North Canton American Legion Post and the boy scouts will meet at the village hall on Saturday morning at 8 o'clock to start the canvass of the village. All those* who have metal to contribute to the drive are asked to place it at the curb or along the alley so the workers may gather it as fast as possible with the least waste* of time. They hope to cover the entire village in one day. Several village trucks will be used in the collection drive, each with a crew of several men arid scouts. •—. Families living outside the ..village limits who have metal to contribute are asked to call 9464 and leave their name and address and a truck will be sent out to pick it up. On farms there is a great deal of waste metal from old tools and machinery that are no longer of -ajiy^Aige,.,milk.jeans-and old-wash tubs, wire fences and posts, old pumps, and other items made of metal which can no longer be used. Around the home there may be old bed springs and other, metal furniture, old pipe, fire screens, hangers, nails, ash cans or other such items. All this will help in swelling the collection. Money received from the proceeds of the drive will be used to aid the local Civilian defense council in buying equipment for village protection and other necessary expenses. Harrison Cline is chairman of the drive.

Probably it's something like this, 'I wish I had been less greedy for myself and more anxious for my country; I wish I had realized you can't beat off a determined invader by a quarreling, disunited people at home; I wish I had been willing to give in on some of my rights to other Frenchmen, instead of giving up all of them to a-foreigner; I wish I had realized other Frenchmen had rights, too; I wish I had known that patriotism is work, not talk; giving, not getting'." , We must stand together. We cannot afford the luxury of standing on our rights. We must work today for a common aim, for the good of ALL of us if ANY of us are to survive. We do not want to have to say "If I had known"1 when it is too late.

In cooperation with the navy department, boys in model plane clubs throughout the country are building tiny navy models to scale which are used in training gunners. The planes are not flying models. The North Canton club, working through the Akron Y will start on this project in the near future. The models they will build are approximately eight inches long and will be built.from plans furnished by the navy department. The materials will be furnished by the Akron Wonjjan's N. A. A. who are sponsoring the Akron activities. When they are completed they will be turned over to the navy division in Akron. The members of the club expressed an interest in this navy projeet and the work was arranged and planned by Bill Blank, club adviser. The club is one of the most recent to be organized at the Community building and has been carrying on an active program. While American fighting men are winging their way across battle skies these younger boys' at home who are keenly interested in aviation can do their part to keep those fighters safe as they work at their model planes, helping the U. S. Navy train men for the service. Cinema Glub With The North Canton Cinema club met Friday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Elson.

On. Saturday of this week North Canton citizens will be given' an excellent opportunity to show what they can, do .to keep thir soldiers well armed and their steel mills rolling with more equipment for the far flung battle fronts. That'is the day set by the American Legion for the local drive for scrap metal. In order to keep the steel mills going full force there must be more scrap iron and this must come from the homes and the farms of Americans throughout the country. There is no other source for it. So it is up to every home and every individual to contribute anything they can to this cause. Only a. small donation from each home will do much to replenish the supply of sfirap metal needed—which. must be obtained if America is tb win the war. Members of the North Canton American Legion Post and the boy scouts will meet at the village hall on Saturday morning at 8 o'clock to start the canvass of the village. All those* who have metal to contribute to the drive are asked to place it at the curb or along the alley so the workers may gather it as fast as possible with the least waste* of time. They hope to cover the entire village in one day. Several village trucks will be used in the collection drive, each with a crew of several men arid scouts. •—. Families living outside the ..village limits who have metal to contribute are asked to call 9464 and leave their name and address and a truck will be sent out to pick it up. On farms there is a great deal of waste metal from old tools and machinery that are no longer of -ajiy^Aige,.,milk.jeans-and old-wash tubs, wire fences and posts, old pumps, and other items made of metal which can no longer be used. Around the home there may be old bed springs and other, metal furniture, old pipe, fire screens, hangers, nails, ash cans or other such items. All this will help in swelling the collection. Money received from the proceeds of the drive will be used to aid the local Civilian defense council in buying equipment for village protection and other necessary expenses. Harrison Cline is chairman of the drive.
