^-;;?V> // Air Raids Come In our cqastal cities whenever two or three people are gathered together, there is one subject that is always under discussion. Will the spring bring air-raids ? Feeling rides high on this subject as those who say "Impossible" and those who say "Certainly" thrash out their respective strategies. But, while we prepare nationally and locally for air raids, let us reason it out. If an air-raid comes, what will the enemy hope to attain? We all admit that the destruction would be comparatively small considering- the size of the country — "though that thought is of small comfort to those who are bombed. The enemy, however, has one bigger object, in view—to create panic. There are those among- us who say that would be the case. I do not think so. I have infinite faith in the ability of our people to face a crisis or a crushing tragedy with calm fortitude. We have always risen to the need of the occasion and we will not fail. But the enemy feels that we will become jittery, that our morale will be shaken, our nerves upset. That is what they want to accomplish. Are you going to give in? How can we face the crisis when and if it comes? We know the rules. We can obey the physical ones—that is merely a matter of intelligent cooperation. But how "can we conquer our instinctive reactions? How can we remain cool? How can ve best the Axis nations at their own game? One way we can do this is by self-control. No air-raid can last forever. We can't run away from it. But we can obey ;*»rders and then hang on for just a little longer. It may call gfor-all our staying qualities, but we can do it—if we face f^the unescapabie facts that—we are in a war: It is a war which must be fought until it is won: There must be no retreat on the home front. There is one aWdij)*r thins* that will .help vus ,hold...l|v'm. We~cah follow tlie 'command of __im who said "Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." For in the words of the Psalmist: "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High, shall abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say ,of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress.

Mary Myers Funeral sendees were held Monday afternoon for Mrs. Mary E. Myers, wife of E. P. Myers, who died in her home on R. D. 6 Friday, May 8, 1942. In addition to her husband Mrs. Myers is survived by five sons, William C, Harry H., Louis E., Emanuel P. and James B. Myers; two daughters, Mrs. Walter Maurer and Mis. Donald Hossler, all of North Canton; two brothers, Simon Ebie of Kent and Milton Ebie of Hartville; three sisters, Mrs. Ida Hildenbrand and Mrs. Nettie Kandle of North Canton and Mrs. Katie Mohler of Middlebrannch; 23 grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Rev. Theodore Myers officiated "at the services at the home and in Orion Dunkerd church. Burial was in North Canton cemetery in charge of the A. C. Myers and Son parlors. Rationing- of a few scarce articles has begun. President Roosevelt's recent message said that when any important article becomes scarce, rationing- is the equitable solution. The American people have dwelt in a land of fertile abundance, where fields and forests and mines and water produced the necessities 6f life in superfluity. People adjust themselves to limitations on this abundance to win victory in war, but they should try to conserve their supplies and resources more careful ly. Our people have in the past been famous for wasteful habits. They are said to throw vast quantities of good food into garbage pails. It is said that some people will take a roast of meat, and after one or two meals from it, will throw away large remnants, when these would make perfectly good food if the housewife knows how to cook. It has been said that the French people, who are thrifty and economical, could live on the stuff thrown away in America. If our people wish to escape food rationing, they should avoid the wastes of the past. In some war-torn countries, clothes are now rationed. Perhaps you need to take better care of your old garments. A skilful job of mending will make many an old suit or dress look fine again. Some men used to be ashamed to have a pair of shoes resoled. The world does not look at shoes to see if the original sole is there. With thousands of factories turned from ordinary production into war goods, many things we have regarded as necessities .may be scarce. Even at that, we shall have all we need to make life comfortable. The things we have would have been called a peak of luxury by our ancestors. Victory Garden Owners Keep Eye on Weather, Crops DS.V Red Poppies for Memory Honor Soldiers of Yesterday and Today Phyllis Groom. Carl Lindenberger Hold Top Place in State Final Rating in Division Two; Sixteen Place in Uppei Bracket: Eight Others Get Honorable Mention State Patrolmen Arrest Hit-Skip Driver for Registering the Women Plans are being considered for a voluntary registration of all women between the ages of 18 and 65, to enlist full support of the nation's manpower for the war. If asked to register, those who are able to give service of any kind will no doubt do so with willingness and enthusiasm. The women of America long: for peace. But they rise up in wrath and indignation ag-ainst the men and governments that have broken the peace arid committed unspeakable outrages. They demand that such governments be put down, and taught a lesson they will remember. Whenever women are asked to aid'the nation in this grand crusade, they will respond with all the ardor of their natures. Superior Work The weather these days has assumed a new importance for a number of Hoover Co. employees. They might well be seen casting an anxious eye at the sky to see if it looks like rain, or smiling broadly when the sun shines, certain that it is just the thing they want. ' All this because of their victory garden plots which they started within the last few weeks as their part in raising their own food. The project was sponsored by the Hoover Co. which plowed and prepared for planting two plots, one between 7th and 9th St. north of the village and the other east of Orchard street. Those who were interested in victory gardens applied for the amount of land thev wanted and the garden committee assigned them to their space in the plot. Oliver Horton, Edson Gerber and Louis Walters were the committee handling the applications and filling them. The average size of these gardens is about 50 by 100 feet and may contain anything from radishes to corn. The seed is furnished by the gardener and all the work is his responsibility from the time of the planting until the harvest. All the food which the individual glows in his garden will be for his own use. Before the summer is long gone it is probable that there will be many stiff backs and sore muscles. And more folks will begin to have greater sympathy with the other? who earn their living at keeping the weeds down and the crops growing. But it is the results that count and next fall when they go out to pick the final vegetables for their table they may count the hours well spent that helped them save for the war effort of their country by growing at least a portion of their own food. People win out in business by creating superior products. Tcwns also win out when the products they turn out are superior. Anyone who can do something better than his competitors attracts attention, and people will make a special effort and pay more money to get that product. • Ralph Waldo Emerson said that if a man, will make a better mousetrap, the world will make a path to his door, even if he lives in the woods. It is so in everything. Instead of finding fault at your bad luck and failure to get anywhere, try to do things better than they have been done, and the world will buy your product. Two Arrested for Auto Theft Face Federal Charge Boys Take Stolen Car Across State Line; Also Accused of Service Station Burglary Two youthful law breakers, aged 15 and 16, were held in the North Canton jail early this week on charges of burglary and auto theft.

It has been said that the French people, who are thrifty and economical, could live on the stuff thrown away in America. If our people wish to escape food rationing, they should avoid the wastes of the past. In some war-torn countries, clothes are now rationed. Perhaps you need to take better care of your old garments. A skilful job of mending will make many an old suit or dress look fine again. Some men used to be ashamed to have a pair of shoes resoled. The world does not look at shoes to see if the original sole is there. With thousands of factories turned from ordinary production into war goods, many things we have regarded as necessities .may be scarce. Even at that, we shall have all we need to make life comfortable. The things we have would have been called a peak of luxury by our ancestors. Victory Garden Owners Keep Eye on Weather, Crops DS.V Red Poppies for Memory Honor Soldiers of Yesterday and Today Phyllis Groom. Carl Lindenberger Hold Top Place in State Final Rating in Division Two; Sixteen Place in Uppei Bracket: Eight Others Get Honorable Mention State Patrolmen Arrest Hit-Skip Driver for Registering the Women Plans are being considered for a voluntary registration of all women between the ages of 18 and 65, to enlist full support of the nation's manpower for the war. If asked to register, those who are able to give service of any kind will no doubt do so with willingness and enthusiasm. The women of America long: for peace. But they rise up in wrath and indignation ag-ainst the men and governments that have broken the peace arid committed unspeakable outrages. They demand that such governments be put down, and taught a lesson they will remember. Whenever women are asked to aid'the nation in this grand crusade, they will respond with all the ardor of their natures. Superior Work The weather these days has assumed a new importance for a number of Hoover Co. employees. They might well be seen casting an anxious eye at the sky to see if it looks like rain, or smiling broadly when the sun shines, certain that it is just the thing they want. ' All this because of their victory garden plots which they started within the last few weeks as their part in raising their own food. The project was sponsored by the Hoover Co. which plowed and prepared for planting two plots, one between 7th and 9th St. north of the village and the other east of Orchard street. Those who were interested in victory gardens applied for the amount of land thev wanted and the garden committee assigned them to their space in the plot. Oliver Horton, Edson Gerber and Louis Walters were the committee handling the applications and filling them. The average size of these gardens is about 50 by 100 feet and may contain anything from radishes to corn. The seed is furnished by the gardener and all the work is his responsibility from the time of the planting until the harvest. All the food which the individual glows in his garden will be for his own use. Before the summer is long gone it is probable that there will be many stiff backs and sore muscles. And more folks will begin to have greater sympathy with the other? who earn their living at keeping the weeds down and the crops growing. But it is the results that count and next fall when they go out to pick the final vegetables for their table they may count the hours well spent that helped them save for the war effort of their country by growing at least a portion of their own food. People win out in business by creating superior products. Tcwns also win out when the products they turn out are superior. Anyone who can do something better than his competitors attracts attention, and people will make a special effort and pay more money to get that product. • Ralph Waldo Emerson said that if a man, will make a better mousetrap, the world will make a path to his door, even if he lives in the woods. It is so in everything. Instead of finding fault at your bad luck and failure to get anywhere, try to do things better than they have been done, and the world will buy your product.
