Problems of Tomorrow
The gremlins are holding* regular sessions in the silent,
vacant halls of Congress, hatching up new crops of "irritations
and puzzles for the boastful boys and girls who think they
will show the world what it "takes" to be a stateman.
"Projblems of tomorrow seem to include the shortening of
shirt tails two or three inches thereby creating a surplus of
material sufficient to make ten million additional men's
shirts: In the last war "Sister Susie sewed shirts for soldiers." Now we are trying out a new deal.
■** ' We face the problems of spending all our spare money
for war bonds, while saving all your money to meet the high
cost of living—and at the same time balancing nothing left
from something—to pay income taxes in March. Uncle Sam
faces the prospect of being left out on the end of a limb.
Captain Eddie Rickenbacker gets a good ways ahead of
the rest "of us when he' declares that American soldiers and
sailors in 'the Pacific could double the volume of war production if they took oyer the job.
Five general classes of rumors have been tagged by the
.Qffice of War Information, as follows: "Hate rumors," "anxiety rumors," "escape rumors," "supernatural rumors," "cur-
.' iosity rumors." OWI says there are 4,500 kinds of rumors—
, and they don't even include-the new controls by "czars."
Looking Into 1943
What do we expect to see in 1943, as we try to look
through' the" thick fog of mystery which clouds the entrance
to the new year? As the American forces accomplished an
astonishing victory a fyv *<^eeks ago 'n landing a great'fore-**
of men ana equipment* almost unopposed in Africa, gaining
control over a large section of that continent, we can feel
confident that 1943 will see great new advances for our
■armed forces, and the day of victory come nearer.
The American people have to adjust themselves to limitations on more things they ordinarily use. Up to a recent
fi date they could buy almost anything if they had the money.
J^ow they have to allow the fighting men to have the preference. They are glad to do so.
Our people will turn out in 1943 a volume of fighting
•equipment that the world had considered impossible. Our
planes, tanks, and guns will make those folks in Europe and
Asia, who thought we were too soft to fight, sit up and take
Tiotice.
Writing to the Soldiers
'■< The army recently issued advice about writing to the
soldiers. One suggestion is that it does no good to write un-
ln\ the new recruit has a somewhat permanent address. Letters sent to an induction center, where he probably will stay
oiily a few days, may not reach him.
'•'*
The address of your son or friend may seem somewhat
complicated, but it should be written out completely. The
army has a big job to .handle the enormous volume of soldier
mail, and illegible scrawls add to the task.
It is somewhat upsetting for a young man to adjust himself to a wholly new and unfamiiar experience, and to work
ijhdei strangers, learn new tasks, and some under new requirements. It is comforting to hear from home, and see how
he is missed ahd loved, and how his safety and success are
earnestly hoped for. Let him hear from us constantly, and address the letters so well that he will get them all.

Nortli Canton Club Women Hear
Account of Red Cross Activities
Harry P. Grady, Canton Executive Director, Tells of Many
Duties Carried Out By Organization During Year
Throughout Nation and Abroad
Rationing Meat
m The statement is made that ration books for the distribution of meat will be ready early next year, and we shall be
told'what quantities and kinds of meat we can have. The
powerful meat eaters may groan a bit. They should remember
that we want to feed our soldier and sailor and aviation boys
magnificently. They need a lot of meat to carry on their
strenuous labors.
Also it *will. be wise and generous policy to give liberally
of our food to the starving countries of Europe, where this
"can be done without giving any aid to their Nazi conquerors.
,The more we do for them, the more help they will give us in
the tremendous proposition of conquering those Nazi tyrants.
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. Last year sixty million
dollars worth of clothing was pre-

PITTSBURGH—Flood waters of the Allegheny and Monongahela,
pouring into the headwaters of the Ohio river here, caused plenty of
concern in Pittsburgh and vicinity when they caused the biggest flood

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

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

Sherman Roney, noted pianist
from Massillon met with delighted
approval for his music and when
he teamed with Andy and Fifi

David Williams also added his
part of the program with fascinating tricks of magic.
On the more serious side, C. B.

and children.
The piogram was sponsored by

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.

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.
