We realize this truth anew today as we face the changes wrought by total war. We know that every threat to freedom is a threat to our personal and national happiness, and because of this we gladly lay aside for the moment our liberties and place restrictions on our freedom for the sake of a strong defense and preservation of those liberties and of that freedom. Happiness is the result of free choice: of the ability to give freely and not upon the demand and according to the \vill or whim of some self-imposed overlord. Happiness is found;-in the freedom to live according to the laws of right and justice: to work in a spirit of friendly intercourse with ■pur fellow men, unhampered and unhindered by prejudice fei'gainst anyone, because of race or creed or color or class. ' Happiness rests in freedom to worship as our conscience dictates: to pray to God as a free man, at peace with one's own soul, and to see to it that our neighbor has the same privilege. There could be no happiness, for a free born and free spirited American under totalitarian rule. Freedom is the absence of fear—of that corroding dread of impending evil, that cancerous mistrust of one's " closest comrades which is tlie deadliest weapon pf the dictators. Freedom is the security given by peace of mind in a world in which men are motivated by respect for the rights of others and by a sense of their own obligations to society. Freedom is the knowledge that success or failure depends upon one's oym self and the way in which one's talents and abilities are -i^iJiz^d^'-i^ijedoirvi^^t^^v.y of h*£c for.men^-\vho- are ..r-et afraid of living. A braV-e heart is one that has courage and faith. It has courage to go ahead; to believe in the integrity of others; to combat evil wherever it exists.; to fight loyally and wholeheartedly to the bitter end; to face the unknown because of the guiding light of purpose, the hope of a finer goal. It has faith—faith in one's self, in one's fellow men, in the God of one's~T5elief—and in the future whether it be a future in this world or beyond our earthly ken.

In his work at school Robeit has consistently taken an active pait in extra-curricular work.

At the present time he has on his schedule trigonometry, English, algebra, physics and American gov- ] eminent—and -that, any student will tell -you, is not exactly a snap course. i For the past four years he has been a.student manager of the various athletic teams. In the scholarship ranks he has consistentlv placed'on scholarship te&ms and in the past three years he placed first, second or third in the county^ qualifying in the general science division. • • He is not an. .obtrusiye...person, his instructors will agree, but a does kno*w. when -he is rein i Sewing Class Meets Each Friday for All Day Session at Community Building ; The Red Cross sewing class I \\hich has heen meeting at the ' Community building each Friday j for the past several months will not i meet during the holiday season. .'

What is he like—North Canton's entry in the scholarship quiz contest heard weekly over radio station WHBC? That is what many folks have been asking as they cast their bond votes for Robert Smiley, North Canton high school senior, lo help him in the race.' In his work at school Robeit has consistently taken an active pait in extra-curricular work. Jyt the same time he has kept up a high record in his school work—and the courses he takes have not been the easiest ones. At the present time he has on his schedule trigonometry, English, algebra, physics and American gov- ] eminent—and -that, any student will tell -you, is not exactly a snap course. i For the past four years he has been a.student manager of the various athletic teams. In the scholarship ranks he has consistentlv placed'on scholarship te&ms and in the past three years he placed first, second or third in the county^ qualifying in the general science division. • • He is not an. .obtrusiye...person, his instructors will agree, but a does kno*w. when -he is rein i Sewing Class Meets Each Friday for All Day Session at Community Building ; The Red Cross sewing class I \\hich has heen meeting at the ' Community building each Friday j for the past several months will not i meet during the holiday season. .'

At the present time he is** also taking pictures for the^jfcewlv oiganized victory ^corps organization. That is what he is* like at school —as his teachers and his associates see him. He is not a book worm, because he is too busy with othei things to spend all his time with books, but he has learned early the value of knowing the joy of true scholarship, of appreciating books j and the vast knowledge they mayj "too busy" to help their country at women who, in keeping their lionr.'s neat and the meal** well piepaicJ, feel that there is no further lued for their services.
