Speaking before the North Canton Senior Woman's club Monday afternoon Harry P. Grady, executive director of the Canton area Red Cross chapter, told the women of some of thc vast accomplishments of the org-anization during the last-year and of the many duties which fall to them to carry on. He brought with him a movie of some of the things which the Red Cross is doing each clay, which was shown at the meeting for the first time in public. The movie showed many phases of Red Cross work, such as first aid instruction, swimming instruction for civilians and the men in service alike, C3nteen servica, disaster work and countless others. Following the picture, 'Mr. Giady told the North Canton women <if some of the accomplishments carried out by the Red Cross, both in America and abroad. He explained what was expected of the organization under its national charter which includes serving wherever a natural disaster strikes, such as the present floods, and acting as a go- between with the men in service and their families at home, helping to keep them in touch with each other and assisting them with their problems. "There were fifty disasters in the United States east of the Mississippi river in 1942" Mr. Grady stated, "costing the Red Cross more than three million dollars, although the public never realized how many times the organization was called on for help." Clothing which the Red Cross has been sewing is being stored in east and west coast seaboard towns, ready for use in the event of an air raid and now that which is above the quota prepared in Canton is kept in this area for emei- gency use.

Did You Forget a Voting Blank When You Bought That Bond? Too Much to Remember, Too Little Time, Crowd Waiting?—Those Students Have a Lot to Remember, Too! Honestly, now, have you simply put off buying that bond—forgot to stop at the post office—or neglected asking for a voting blank when you did fill out your application for a bond? If you did, some member of the scholarship quiz contest was out just that many points—out just tl*.at much of a chance to win a college scholarship. Of course you have a lot on your mind—a lot to remfimber—but don't think that those twenty boys and girls don't have much to remember. After all, they are the ones who have to know the answers to the questions when it comes their turn to sro over the air. There are a lot of bonds bought Four Hundred Attend PTA Meeting Tuesday Music, Dancing, Magician and Speaker Get Full Audience Approval More than four hundred persons I Wildcats Win Junior Event; were present at the Parent-Teach- Alumni Grand Champions in Stark county every day. Some of them have been saved for with the specific purpose of helping a favorite in that race, others have been purchased because the buyer knew it was the right thing to do. But a large number of those who bought them forgot to ask for a voting blank. They were in a hurry and the person waiting on them had a dozen other people standing in line waiting for him to hurry. So the bond was bought and the votes went to waste. There is at least one boy in that race who could be well up near the top—close to those first four positions—because his quiz answers are right on the ball. But his friends are forgetting him and there is a noticed scarcity of backers. Check the .total results thus far—you can see how those bond votes help. And the next time you stand in line at the window say, "I'd like a voting blank with this bond so I can cast my votes in- the scholarship race." You'll be helping someone—your favorite to win a chance at a happy future. "Red Gross at Your Service" Is Real Fact, Reeder Family Learns Gift .From Son in India Brought to North Canton By Organization When a Red Cross automobile pulls up to a stop in front of your door—.that isn't a sign that something is drastically wrong. It is probably only another of the many neighborly services the Red Cross is doing for families throughout the nation every day of the week. The W. H. Reeder family of Woodrow street had that experience on New Year's day and it was more .than just a friendly service to them. For all the way from India, their son, Harold, stationed with the U. S. army, had sent them a New Year's greeting- in the form of a plant—a begonia. And because he was not able to do much about sending such a gift from where he was, he made the arrangements with the Red Cross many weeks ago. To Mr. and Mrs. Reeder the plant is a gay, bright reminder to. them each day, not only of their son, but of the service which the Red Cross stands ready to give wherever and whenever it may be needed. Second Food Ration in s BasketbaSi Tourney "One Can to a Customer" More Rationim The American people have been notified that most of the canned, bottled, frozen and dried vegetables and fruits ■#ill be rationed beginning in February. This will promote the ^public comfprt, for each family can be sure of getting its i^hare. Whereas if scarce foods are not rationed, people are "'Ikely to stand in line at stores, and those who search most tersistently for these goods are likely to get more than their %are; It. would seem advisable for the American people to raifee niore fruits and vegetables, and preserve and can as manvy as possible for home use. The more we can raise in oui own pack yards^ and the more we can' save for winter use, the farther oui* ration coupons will go. NEW YORK—Grocers can do much to prevent hoarding of canned foods between now and the time that rationing, of such foods gets under, way in, February. Joseph Tannenbaum sets an example here by putting a limit of one can of each food to «• customer at his store. Most Cijiisens .who re&iize tjwtf; wr griped forces and. those oi ,pur Allies rmist be* fed.put up with the restriction -without complaint. ers meeting Tuesday evening to enjoy a well-rounded program of music, magic and a brief talk. Sherman Roney, noted pianist from Massillon met with delighted approval for his music and when he teamed with Andy and Fifi Anastas, jive dance team from Can ton, they completely won over the audience. David Williams also added his part of the program with fascinating tricks of magic. On the more serious side, C. B. Williams gave a talk to the audience, composed of fathers, mothers and children. The piogram was sponsored by tlie fathers of the organization, with C. W. Traut as chairman. Funeral Held Monday for Andrew Wensel The Jeeps won the high school basketball tournament at the Community building during- the holidays, only to go down to defsat be- foie the alumni, then come back to win a match with the Community building staff. After they weie declared the champs in the high school division the clumni beat them 39 to 28. Their- winning score with the staff team was 42 to 41. Members of the Jeep team were Bob Healy, Myroji Mohlsr. Don Ross, Junior Craven, Paul Thompson and Jim Kolp. The Wildcats boot the Thunderbolts in the junior round to become champions. Membeis of this team were Bob Warburton, Tom Braucher. Bizz Smith, Bill Owens, Jack Schreckengost, Bill Powell and Ed Leibtag. The lobby tournaments at the Y center are to be finished this week. Housewives Respond to Appeal Not to Hoard Food Before Restrictions Arc Started American housewives, warned that greatly increased food rationing would go into effect in February, have responded patriotically to the appeal not to hoard and there has been very little increased buying of foods to be rationed, to date. This speaks highly of the .understanding of the people for the need of their cooperation when they are asked to give it, instead of forced to stand in line without any understanding of the situation. In order to register for Ration Book No. 2 it has been announced that it will be necessary to make a declaration of all the commercially processed fruits and vegetables in the individual's possession and stamps will be deducted accordingly before the book is issued. Stomps will be valued on the point system with each stamp representing- a certain number of points. Foods will also be valued under a point system so that a certain number will be deducted from thc stamp book, corresponding with the number on the food which is purchased. The method of registration for obtaining the ration book and the dates for this registration has not yet been announced. o We Are Sorry Demands for Our War Effort Come First Recently there have been times when the printing in some of the copies of The Sun have not been quite as clear as we would like it to be. Because of the lack of repair parts which were ordered months ago, we arc not able to continnally maintain our high standard of printing. The manufacturers of the paits in question must secure permission from the War Production Board to make them. Natuially thc equipment for the war comes that. This is as it should be. We aie rot complaining but rather ax-plaining why some of our papers are not np to par. We sincerely appreciate the fine cooperation of our subscribers and we assure you that every human effort is being made to give you the best newspaper possible under present war conditions. North Cantoriites May Have Tires Checked at *■ Myers Chevrolet, Pure Oil, Sunoco Stations Sunday, Jan. 81 is the deadline for having automobile tires checked by authorized inspectors, motorists are warned if they want to continue receiving gasoline rations. In North Canton motorists may stop at the Pure Oil station on South Main street,-af the Sunoco station on North Main, or Myers Chevrolet station for this required service which is another result of the war. Those who fail to have their tires inspected by this deadline will take the chance of having their gasoline ration book revoked and any further rations refused. When the tires are inspected the motorist will be given a slip stating that. Tire serial numbers must be the same as those written in the ration bopk, as they were listed by the owner when he applied for his ration allowance. ' '■•■'■■ Motorists having A books must have their tires checked every' four months, while those- With 'other books must have theirs checked every two months. " "•"-•- If the tires are badly worn the inspector may indicate such" and .the motorist will then be "able to ask for new or recapped tires." *~* Should the inspector indicate that the tires should be switched tb save wear on them, the motorist will do well to follow his advice for it may aid him later when he asks for new tires. Motorists are asked to have their tires checked at their first convenience in order to avoid a large rush at the last minute. Under the new regulation all motorists will be eligible for recapped or new tires when they need them ss the inspectors will be able to determine the real need for new tires as the old ones we~*r out. And by careful inspection they may be able to prevent unnecessary rough wear. Funeral services were held in the Lewis funeral parlors Monday afternoon for Mr. Andrew Wensel, 81, who died at the home of his son, Walter Wensel on Wise road Saturday morning, Jan. 2, 1943.
