VENTRILOQUIST ACT /
To a German Hausfrau
You used to envy us women in America, I've been told,
"meihe Frau." In" the old days you heard quite a lot about the
conveniences we had in our comfortable houses—gleaming,
white bath tubs, for one thing*. How you would have loved
one—and a big sink in your kitchen'. You sometimes sighed,
thinking of our vacuum cleaners and our electric irons. Such
helps would have spared you hours of drudgery each week.
You marveled, too, at our many automobiles. But even
in your wildest dreams I doubt if you could" imagine loading
your children into a big shiny car and going off for a day in
the country without the protection—and domination—of your
husband! German women, even before Hitler, knew very little
of the independence and freedom that our way of life gave
the women in America long ago. You were supposed to confine your activities to the church, the kitchen, and the nursery while so many of us had found independence in community activities and well-paying jobs. But then, people always
Asaid that America spoiled her women. >
* Now, in harassed Germany, what are you thinking about
us? We aren't putting in any mew bath tubs these days, and
perhaps you have heard that we're not even making automobiles.- We seldom go off with the kids for an all-day picnic,
and a good many thousands of us are working in factories.
But we're still the most fortunate women on the face
of this tortured globe! Our free industrial system, which used
to produce so many pleasant, comfortable things, is now turning out war equipment in formidable quantities. We oui**-
- selves are surprised how much, and you would be terrified if
you knew the half of it. It means, of course, that we're going
to win this war. In spite of your years of forced preparation,
in spite of your early victories, in spite of your incredible
sacrifices, the armies that are made up of and equipped by
free men and women are going to come out on top and dictate
-.the pftace..-. --.- < u^i-:-   -.-^s..=<      *.-■*   -* .    .   ■ ..A    .,.-..
But never- mind, my friend. Between you and me'our
victory is going to be the best thing for you, too. The people
who get tlie worst of it in a totalitarian country are, as you
well know, women who are pushed back into the kind of
slavery we outgrew 500 years ago. When we win this war, it's
going to be better for everybody, and you, no longer oppressed by your government, will find'hope again. And some clay,
we believe, you're going to have not only political freedom
^but that freedom from poverty and toil that free industry
in a modern world can so easily provide.
The Breaking Point
You remember the fa'b'le 'about lulling thc "goose that laid'
the golden egg.. 	
According to Donald-Nelson, Chairman of the War Production Board, America seems-to- be in danger, of committing
the same mistake. In a letter to .the House Ways and Means
Committee on theliew tax.bill, he .opposed putting the tax on
the excess profits of corporations as high as 94 per cent.
"The 94 per cent tax'must'lie paid in cash," he wrote,
"but the profits are not 'cash*. They are 'book' profits', including inventory, price rises and* other items which may-never
Jriaterialize. A 94 per cent tax rate without a post-wax' credit
will cause corporations to-die-like flies when the post-war.depression begins."
jjk' ' But Mr. Nelson objects to the tax on other grounds as
^well. "Such a tax," he wrote, "is likely to result in a reduction
of efficiency in the conduct of business and may even- endanger the full success of our war production program."
Industry was one of the first groups in the country to
insist that taxes be placed at i*ates so high that only enough
money would be left- over for survival. It has vigorously opposed profiteering in any'form.'But companies must be able
to retain enough money to continue operations after the war
is ended. They must be able to build up sufficient reserves
so that they can finance the conversion of their plants from
war production back to.peacetime .manufacturing	
' If they can do that, if they can use their enormous wartime plant.capacity for making peacetime goods, chances are
that instead of a prolonged'post-war 'depression,' America can
go forward to the highest .standard of living that we have
ever known. • -   .   .

Sabotage Ruins
Victory Gardens
Mayor Price Warns Severe
Punishment Awaits Culprits if Destruction Continues
Sabotage—destructive and detestable—is being- carried on in Noith
Canton by a group of youthful vandals who have no respect for th.
labor and property of others.
Reports have reached the may-
01's office that a certain group of
children have been trespassing- on
a number of Victory Gardens which
were planted in the spring to assist in the all-out war effort. The
children have been tearing up the
growing plants and destroying- tho
ripening vegetables.
Although they may be ruining
only a comparatively small number of gardens they are still doing
all they can to help the enemy and
as such must be classed as enemies
to their ovfrn community and country.
Mayor Price has issued a warning that any person caught destroying the work which has been
done in the gardens will be punished severely. Parents are asked
to cooperate with the authorities
in impressing upon the children the
seiiousness of such acts of vandalism.
Sees Nazi Horrors
in
NEW YORK.—Mrs. Ruth Mitchell Knowles, sister of the late
General "Billy" Mitchell, is embraced by her daughter, Mis. Robert Yohn after Mrs. Knowles' arrival in the U. S. on the diplomatic
ship, SS. Drottningholm. During
the .14 months she spent in Gestapo
prisons and concentration camps in
Yugoslavia and Germany, many of
her friends among American and
English women prisoners were
shot by Nazi firing squads, she
said. She was one of the first foreigners admitted to the Comitaji,
Yugo-Slavian guerilla organization.

War Medicine
in    developing
the    mortality
American medicine is taking the lead
techniques for lessening the suffering and
that war produces.
Ali over the world, Ariierican doctors, both within and
without the military forces, are-studying wounds and disease. New drugs ancl medicines are being tested. New methods of healing are being tried. And already, some signal
achievements have taken place, American doctors on Bataan,
for instance, finding themselves lacking'certain vital supplies, experimented, with a new treatment to. prevent fatal
■^<mfections in-terribly wounded men—-and they succeeded.
' Whatever can be done to alleviate in any degree tlie horrors of war is a boon to mankind, and to a suffering and
bleeding world. And it is.only to be expected that American
doctors are at tlie forefront in war medicine. Tlie American
doctor is an individual, not a regimented creature of the
state.'He has had' the finest possible schooling and 'training.
He is aggressively progressive. And today, all his skill, all
his knowledge, and all his abilities, areui'gently needed.
Many great medical discoveries -will/in all probability,
come out of this war. These discoveries will be the means of
saying hundreds of thousands of precious lives, and alleviating the agony of the wounded. American medicine has gone
to war—-not-to kill,--.but to saveAnot to destroypbufrto aid
and succor,humanity..

. When the. Army War Show swings into action in the Akron Rubber Bowl next week, big field g-uns
like these will roar defiance as they fling their force against the "enemy." And American soldiers will
show £heir' sgirii and stamina as they push their way-across the battle line toward the foe. In such action
is this: the civilian.aadience will see how Amedpan sojdiers^cojiductwar on real fronts scattred across the
'^i.S&'C.Al- :'.sS&^\ffl.rfr-iiiA-. a --

.( . world. The show will start at 8:30-each evening on .Thursday,  Friday,  Saturday and Sunday.
A huge army war show, bringing to tlie citizens of this
part of the state a small replica of war as it is being fought
on the battle fronts today, will be staged in the Akron Rubber Bowl for four nights, July 16, 17, 18 and 19.
The rolling thunder of huge guns in actual combat will
- ound over the wooded farmlands and busy cities as the fast
moving pageant gets under way. Many of the weapons which
are produced on the assembly lines of Ohio plants will be
••'.-ed in the performance to show the people who help to
make them how they are used by the Army.
From start to finish the men in
this great show, numbering nearly
2,000 officers and men will keep
the audience on their toes with exhibits of the many types of mechanized equipment in use in the
army.
And the thrilling climax never
fails to bring the audience up out
of the seats, cheering the men on.
For it is impossible to sit quietly
and watch American infantrymen,
supported by tanks, machine guns,
light and heavy artillery, jeeps,
combat cars and motorcycle troops,
storm a "Jap" position and "capture" the "enemy" force. High
pitched audiences go wild with
cheers as the men storm the position in the mock battle and take
the opposing force.
The air force also takes an important place in the show as it reveals its power in the whole battle
effort. And just to show that the
old fighting elements still have a
place in the lineup, a troop of crack
Negro cavalrymen from Fort Riley,
Kansas, give a demonstration of
hard riding ability.
The-Army war show is in charge
of Major Charles Spencer Hart
who distinguished himself in 1917
and 1918 as the director of shows
to give the civilian population a
vivid picture of what the Army was
doing* in actual combat.
The show is scheduled to start
each evening at S:30 while during
the day there is an exhibit of Army auxiliary services, showing the
visitors close-up views of the mechanized equipment, including guns
and other weapons and also showing how the army cares for its
men in the Quartermaster corps,
the Medical corps, the Dental corps
and similar branches of the service.
The religious side of Army life is
not neglected and there is a mobile
chapel where Army chaplains hold
services for the men and oificers
in the force comprising the cast of
the show.
A large number of citizens from
North Canton and vicinity plan to
attend this outstanding show during the four-day period and for
those who do not already have
their tickets, they are on sale in
the employment office of the
Hoover Co., at Schafer-Messerly
drug store and at the Community
building.
In addition to showing the peopie how the Second World War is
being- fought, this show helps to
serve another great cause by contribution to the Army Relief fund.
