VOL. 20—No. 17 NORTH CANTON, STARK COUNTY, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, EEB. 17, 1943 $2.00 PER 'XEAJR Back Taxing is Back Breaking If something constructive isn't doneiby March 15 about putting individual income taxes on a pay-as-you-go basis, the present "back taxing" system (paying taxes this year on last year's income) will be a back breaking load for the 20 million new taxpayers who were not prepared for the tax bill passed last October, and it is bound to affect the efficiency of the nation's productive effort. The possible repercussions after the wan seem too vast to contemplate. Pay-as-you-go income taxes mean just one thing—each i one of us pays as he earns, and hasn't got a year-old debt to ft-worry about. Three proposals have been made: (1) Pay two years taxes in one year, wliich would be too burdensome; (2) Pay taxes on 1943 income and postpone taxes on 1942 income until after the war which would keep us in chains indefinitely; and (3) Wipe out the debt on 1942 income while we all con- centi'ate on paying* taxes this year on this year's income. The last of these three proposals is the only workable one, as to the effects both now and after the war. A small percentage of the citizens might benefit from a "windfall"— where their income was greater in 1943 than in 1942. But this would be1 a relatively small inequity and could be corrected by compelling revised returns in such cases. What the country cannot stand is a hangover of income tax! debt after the war. This is particularly true of people living in small communities and the farmers, whose year-to- year incomes change radically from climatic and economic conditions over -which they have noleontrol. . The question of pay-as-you-go taxes is squarely up to Congress which has shown it can act quicklyiwhen convinced the folks back home want something done. Members of Congress were elected to represent' citizens, who have it in their power to give directives to their Senators and Representatives. - Among many-influential, organizations that have en- .j^ei^'*--p^^ tak& thSiNaticfi&i* Grange and, the American Farm Bureau Federation. Their endorsements need individual backing. No'one objects to paying a fair share of taxes, especially with the nation at war. Millions of new income taxpayers do not yet realize "what they face on March 15 under the /present tax law. Pay-as-you-go taxes are merely a matter of boolc- T keeping for-'the Treasury Department, except in a relatively few "windfall" cases. Can we allow this to stand in the way of constructive legislation that will free our productive citizens'from financial debt and worry, at a lime when such burdens upon the family budget and the mind can hinder the effectiveness of war production for tlie forces on the fighting- fronts ? Supporting the Government The government authorities keep urging- the people to buy war bonds, and people should do so to their utmost ability. TheNmoney is needed to carry on the,terrific cost of modern warfare, and to provide the vast supplies of all forms of equipment which mechanized war calls for. The utmost the country can raise will not be enough, but every little or big bond helps carry the county on to glorious victory. - The sale-of bonds not merely helps the soldiers, but it works to prevent inflation and higher cost of living, since the money that goes into bonds is not used to bid.up prices. And when yon buy your bond, don't forget Bob Smiley, and cast your vote for him to win the scholarship contest. He is, completely deserving of your support and you will be proud if your vote helps to send him to college where he will have I a chance to develop the talent and intelligence and enterprise with which he is gifted. Some day when he has made a success of his life as the result of the things his education did for him, you will be glad that you bought liberally of war bonds, and helped Smiley win the contest by your vote. Living Up to Tradition The medical profession hasn't done a lot of talking about the "sacrifices" its members are making. And yet doctors, perhaps more than any other group next to the service men, are making real sacrifices in this war. Thousands cf them have voluntarily given up their practices. They live in the-fox-holes with the soldiers. They'fight and die with the navy and the marines. They perform miracles amid blood and suffering. Gone is the business for which they spent so many years in preparation, often on a- financial shoe string. The doctors left at home are making sacrifices too. Men who should be enjoying-the leisurely aftermath of useful careers are back in harness working at a killing pace. They. are on duty 24 hours-a day—and they don't yell for time-and- a-half when Mrs. Jones is having a baby at 3 a. m. The doctors are carrying out the tradition of American medicine in every emergency. Their example might well be followed by workers' in other fields. Watchdogs of the Treasuries A Beginning the first of January with the Victory Tax, and £he°15th of March with income taxes, millions of Americans .will get over the idea that taxes are something that just" "the other guy" has to pay. This will be one of the best things that ever happened to the country. Millions of citizens who never took an interest in government before,/will begin to watch the financial policies of government to see that public money is not wasted.

Greentown Civilian Defense Corps Makes Final Plans for Blackout Church Bells to Sound Warning, Toll "All Clear" Signal; Tel ephone and Messengers Also to Carry Warning Tax Collection Here March 18 During the latter part of February and the first half of March deputy tax collectors will be stationed at various places throughout Staik county to aid real estate owr-.eis in the collection of the December 1942 real estate tax collection. Persons who find it impossible to pay their taxes in the- section in j which the property is located may pay it at any other collection center if they have received their tax bills in the mail. If they have not received their tax bills this cannot be done- as the deputies will have with them only the tax books for that particular district in which .they are collecting and it would be impossible for them to give a tax bill for any other district. When the taxes are- collected at a local bank, the deputy will observe regular banking hours, but if the collection is held in some other building- they will close not later than 4 o'clock in order -to reach the court house before closing time. The closing date for the collection is April 10 and tax bills are now being mailed. The schedule of collections throughout the county outside of Canton are as follows: February 23, Buchman's garage in East Sparta; Feb. 24, Lynn's (Continued on pag^-eight) Final preparations are being made by the civilian defense unit of Greentown for the blackout which will sweep this part of the state in the near future. Senior wardens of the organization are preparing typed instructions for each family in their district so that no one will be caught unprepared for the emergency. The Greentown organization will cover the southwest section of Lake township in their district. When the blackout starts, the ringing of all the. church bells will warn the villagers and farmers in the district to turn out all their lights and remain under cover. At the first warning signal all traffic must slow down and proceed only with, parking lights. The final warning will be for all tiaffic to stop, turn out all lights and switch off-their motors. In addition to the chuich bells warning will, in some cases be sent out by telephone calls and messengers. The main center of this system, will be the telephone in the Myers, store, from where calls will be sent, to senior wardens and their assistants, who will, in turn, call their committee members to be on duty. Rev. M. Dean Marston is the- senior air raid warden, assisted by C. K. Donat and Richard Black. E. H. Hoffman is chief of the auxiliary police, assisted by Fred "Metzger. Auxiliary fire chief is H. C. Kissinger. In addition to these units there is also the medical corps and the messengers who will be ready for action. All these members of the organization have been completely trained and certified by the state defense council. When the blackout is over the church bells will toll the "all clear" signal and again the message will be-sent out by telephone and by messengers. Civilian defense leaders are asking, the full cooperation of everyone to make this trial blackout a complete success*. Waste Fats Still High on War Salvage List Girl Scouts Will Collect Your Contribution if You Ask Them; Leave Name at Community Building Waste fats are still high on the salvage list for war purposes and housewives are urged to continue saving every bit of fat to be turned into the war effort. According .to information received from the Office of War Information, December collections of household waste fats exceeded five million pounds but this figure must- be battered. The army salvages about five million pounds a month, and the navy ,. one million. One tablespoon a- day from each family would produce almost 450 million pounds a year. In North Canton the Girl Scouts have volunteered' their services to help collect \his vraspe fat ^nd send it on its *vy.ay into war production. Any housewife who has fat collected may have it picked up by calling the Community building; and leaving her name and address. Every bit of waste fat saved, may save the life of an American soldier and help bring the war to an end sooner. Greensburg Man Succumbs to Accident Injuries Funeral services for James Muckley, 70, of Greensburg were held Wednesday afternoon in the A. C. Myers & Son funeral parlois in Greentown with Rev. M. Dean Marston officiating. Mr. Muckley died in Akron City hospital Monday, Feb. 15, 1943, following injuries received in an automobile- accident last Saturday. He is survived by his widow, Ada; one daughter, Mrs. Dorothy Uplinger of Noith Canton; three sons, Merrill and Jay of North Canton and Harry of Wellington, Ohio; one brother, Coyt and one sister, Mrs. Eva Rinehart, both of Canton; and nine grandchildren.

Burial was in Forest Hill cemetery. o Your Bond Purchase Registration in North Canton will start on Tuesday and continue .through Friday, from 1 o'clock ia .the afternoon until 8:30 in the evening. In order to receive war ratioa book 2 as it is termed, each person must .bring their ration book one with them. One person may register for t;he entire family but in such case must have the book for each member to show .the registrar. They must also- have -a signed consumer's declaration, which appears elsewhere in this paper. Those with the family name starting with A or any, other letter of the alphabet through F are asked to register on Tuesday,. those from G through M on Wednesday, N through S on Thursday and T through Z on Friday. Exceptions of this order will be made for those who find it impossible to register on the day they are aslced to,do so. In preparation for the rationing program which will go into effect on March 1, more than 200-articles on grocers' shelves will be frozen this Saturday. Housewives will be allowed five cans of food for each member of their family before any stamps will be removed from their ration book. Food which will be rationed will be sold under a point system- - according to how great the demaniljs as well as the supply. The Office -^of-Price Administration is-recruit? ing "explainers" to serve in a number of grocery stores during the first week of point rationing to help tell shoppers how the system works. Book Review Given at Woman's Glub Monday Mrs. Foster Crawford reviewed the book, "The Robe," by Lloyd C. Douglas at the meeting of .the North Canton Woman's club Monday evening in the Community building. Special music on the program was a piano selection, "The Grand Valse" by Chapman, presented by Miss Peggy Capley. Receptionists for the evening were Mrs. R. T. Trier and Mrs. P. M. Hawkins. The next meeting of the club will be a benefit luncheon to be held on March 1 in the Timken tea room at 12:30 p. m. A musical program and readings will follow the luncheon. Reservations should be made as soon as possible with Mrs. C. R. Jackson or Mrs. Conrad Traut. Use Those Votes to Boost Some Student a Little Higher Toward a Brighter Future In these days of rationing and more rationing, restrictions and increasing restrictions, there is one thing which can never be restricted for Americans—and that is their inherent love of liberty, their natural resentment at anything which encroaches upon that liberty—and all that it stands for. With that same feeling of liberty there is that restless American desire to constantly reach for something higher, -a better life, more education and a better chance for those we love. That is why such a contest as the scholarship bond quiz program now starting on. the last half, has been proving successful throughout the county. For all those who have taken any small part in it—all those who have thus far bought a bond or cast a vote, or in any way helped it along, feel that they have been helping the cause of liberty", that they have been helping someone toward a higher education. For every vote cast will help some student toward a higher goal in the world of tomorrow, and every bond bought will bring back to" America just a little sooner, that liberty which today is restricted only that there might be more liberty tomorrow. There can be no doubt that the students in that contest are worthy of the support given them, even as there can be no doubt that the bonds which are bought will help America now. • •. So when you go out to buy that bond—and it should be soon, you (Confirmed on Page "Eiglit) Jennings Game Moved Up to 6:30 Local fans who will follow the Vikings to Akron Friday night to witness the clash with Jennings- will have to leave here considerably earlier than for the previous out- of-town games since the reserve game is scheduled for 6:30 with the varsity game at 7:30 p. m.

Greentown Civilian Defense Corps Makes Final Plans for Blackout Church Bells to Sound Warning, Toll "All Clear" Signal; Tel ephone and Messengers Also to Carry Warning Tax Collection Here March 18 During the latter part of February and the first half of March deputy tax collectors will be stationed at various places throughout Staik county to aid real estate owr-.eis in the collection of the December 1942 real estate tax collection. Persons who find it impossible to pay their taxes in the- section in j which the property is located may pay it at any other collection center if they have received their tax bills in the mail. If they have not received their tax bills this cannot be done- as the deputies will have with them only the tax books for that particular district in which .they are collecting and it would be impossible for them to give a tax bill for any other district. When the taxes are- collected at a local bank, the deputy will observe regular banking hours, but if the collection is held in some other building- they will close not later than 4 o'clock in order -to reach the court house before closing time. The closing date for the collection is April 10 and tax bills are now being mailed. The schedule of collections throughout the county outside of Canton are as follows: February 23, Buchman's garage in East Sparta; Feb. 24, Lynn's (Continued on pag^-eight) Final preparations are being made by the civilian defense unit of Greentown for the blackout which will sweep this part of the state in the near future. Senior wardens of the organization are preparing typed instructions for each family in their district so that no one will be caught unprepared for the emergency. The Greentown organization will cover the southwest section of Lake township in their district. When the blackout starts, the ringing of all the. church bells will warn the villagers and farmers in the district to turn out all their lights and remain under cover. At the first warning signal all traffic must slow down and proceed only with, parking lights. The final warning will be for all tiaffic to stop, turn out all lights and switch off-their motors. In addition to the chuich bells warning will, in some cases be sent out by telephone calls and messengers. The main center of this system, will be the telephone in the Myers, store, from where calls will be sent, to senior wardens and their assistants, who will, in turn, call their committee members to be on duty. Rev. M. Dean Marston is the- senior air raid warden, assisted by C. K. Donat and Richard Black. E. H. Hoffman is chief of the auxiliary police, assisted by Fred "Metzger. Auxiliary fire chief is H. C. Kissinger. In addition to these units there is also the medical corps and the messengers who will be ready for action. All these members of the organization have been completely trained and certified by the state defense council. When the blackout is over the church bells will toll the "all clear" signal and again the message will be-sent out by telephone and by messengers. Civilian defense leaders are asking, the full cooperation of everyone to make this trial blackout a complete success*. Waste Fats Still High on War Salvage List Girl Scouts Will Collect Your Contribution if You Ask Them; Leave Name at Community Building Waste fats are still high on the salvage list for war purposes and housewives are urged to continue saving every bit of fat to be turned into the war effort.

The army salvages about five million pounds a month, and the navy ,. one million. One tablespoon a- day from each family would produce almost 450 million pounds a year. In North Canton the Girl Scouts have volunteered' their services to help collect \his vraspe fat ^nd send it on its *vy.ay into war production. Any housewife who has fat collected may have it picked up by calling the Community building; and leaving her name and address.

Use Those Votes to Boost Some Student a Little Higher Toward a Brighter Future In these days of rationing and more rationing, restrictions and increasing restrictions, there is one thing which can never be restricted for Americans—and that is their inherent love of liberty, their natural resentment at anything which encroaches upon that liberty—and all that it stands for. With that same feeling of liberty there is that restless American desire to constantly reach for something higher, -a better life, more education and a better chance for those we love. That is why such a contest as the scholarship bond quiz program now starting on. the last half, has been proving successful throughout the county. For all those who have taken any small part in it—all those who have thus far bought a bond or cast a vote, or in any way helped it along, feel that they have been helping the cause of liberty", that they have been helping someone toward a higher education. For every vote cast will help some student toward a higher goal in the world of tomorrow, and every bond bought will bring back to" America just a little sooner, that liberty which today is restricted only that there might be more liberty tomorrow. There can be no doubt that the students in that contest are worthy of the support given them, even as there can be no doubt that the bonds which are bought will help America now. • •. So when you go out to buy that bond—and it should be soon, you (Confirmed on Page "Eiglit) Jennings Game Moved Up to 6:30 Local fans who will follow the Vikings to Akron Friday night to witness the clash with Jennings- will have to leave here considerably earlier than for the previous out- of-town games since the reserve game is scheduled for 6:30 with the varsity game at 7:30 p. m.
