'^yiMPo'M'^ F THAT NEXT-PAY CHECK- .. -^:^-^y., i . . VOL. 20—No. 36 Corp.

It was one of those semi-truths that are the best stock in trade of the pseudo statesman. That it.was. an effective weapon has been proven. Before the bombs fell at Pearl Harbor, sympathy for the "have-nots," and friendliness toward the self-styled underdog's did much to becloud the real issue and to leave us woefully unprepared for the attack of ^hose whom we had pitied. ^ Now there is another theory abroad in the land.- It is that of the "musts and the must nots." Instead of being a divisive theory, however, this is a closely coordinated and correlated expression of thought which may be translated into positive action. We must put -first things first. We must devote all our energies to the one task of winning the war, that we may return to the ordered ways of peace. We must not be sidetracked from this goal by personal ambition, group interests or individual bias. We must save in all things—in money, time, material resources, and health—that we may be fit to assume our full obligation as citizens. We must not squander anything but our spirit of friendliness and cooperation with our fellow- men. We must keep still. Some day try listening to the conversations around you—on trains, on busses, in restaurants — and you won't'have to be told why. We .talk too much. We niust not be a carrier for the enemy. Talking out of turn, passing, on rumors, spreading tales which can cause dissension, fear or panic among th^-gnthinking, serve the foe. Heedless of any danger to himself, yCorp. Wayne E.

Restrictions — Gangsterism Apparently retail distributors are in error when they assert that they are the only source through which the civilian population can be furnished necessities. There is the black market. Present government price and regulatory policies favor the latter at the expense of the legitimate merchant. At least that seems to be the effect of latest moves to stop inflation by cracking down on the distribution industry. Since the life of modern distribution is volume sales on narrow profit margins, it takes no expert to figure out "that volurSe and prices cannot be cut materially without disaster ensuing to even the most efficient retailer. Yet the govern- jjjpient is trying to cut both drastically. Thousands of stores ^nave already gone out of business; stores that were doing their part sincerely and patiently to carry out the rules and regulations of the OPA. As more law-abiding merchants are liquidated, consumers will be at the rnerc^ of the black market operator who respects neither ceilings nor rationing restrictions. < - .- Organized distributors, chain and independent, are the strongest bulwark against food and commodity chaos. They are the front line in the battle against inflation. If they cannot keep a flow of goods moving to consumers through normal retail channels in accordance with the controls laid 'down by the government, no one else can. One food representative has warned that: "If the legitimate food men are thrown out of business the country will see a flood of black marketing and illegitimate trafficking with food that will become completely uncontrollable." Not only food, but all other lines of merchandising will be handled by gangsters on back streets. Government measures which indirectly aid these gangsters should cease. Strengthen Island Territories How many persons know that the island of Puerto Rico, a guardian for the Panama Canal and bur eastern seacoast, is a territory of the United States, represented in Congress by Hon.

Since the beginning of the swimming season at the local pool a number of those, taking lessons in swimming have advanced in the class rankings. A large number of those who could not swim are" now in the minnow class, having completed their necessary tests in order^to become familiar with the water and to learn the fundamentals of swimming.

Souvenirs From Japs on Guadalcanal at Library Sf.uvenirs of war, that show the hunuin side of an enemy who died in /jattle -out on Guadalcanal are on exhibit in the North Canton library this weeic. Then <?ouvenirs, taken from a' Japanese ^o'dier who was killed in that battle.'were sent home by Paul Bailey, son 'of Mrs. Maude Bailey, who was with the Marine corps that landed oil that island last year. ' ; Peihaps most revealing of al! the.items taken from the soldier and from that baltlegiound was. a: letter written to him in March,1 1 942, from a friend back home in J j pan. . i "Am g-lad. to learn that you are' working in safety," the' friend wrote. "All your family is in good health., Do not worry about us."i Remarking about the things at boms- he also wrote, "Tlie wheat is •■bout six inches hi«h. It is about; lime to prepaie the seedlings for rice planting. The cherry blossoms are in-bloom, lt seems that it is; veiy hot where you are—far hotter than we here can imagine. Wish I could ask where it is." He also mentioned a good-luck token the soldier's fiiends were making for him and spoke about a local festival to one of the Japanese gods. In much the same manner that any American might write! y(,ii lor to a friend in service, this man in! t'u-n vil For the first time since it was first opened in 1928, the Community swimming" pool, located on Hower J3t. will foe." opened on this coming Sunday afternoon for the recreational benefit of the community. However, regulations which .ac- i company this new set-up are that only membeis of the Community building, which includes membership in the pool, will be allowed to use the pool on Sunday. The only exception to this rule is that if a member of a family who is a member of the Community building wishes to take another memher of his -or her family swimming- with him he may do so, even though that person is not a member of'the pool, provided both of them -go swimming and not enter the place just to watch while the non-member swims. This may he more easily undfeiv stood by illustrating that if Junior. Smith, a member of the pool, wants to take his dad, a non-member, with him when he goes swimming, he may do -so, provided both Junior and his dad go swimming. The management of the pool makes it plain that all rules will be strictly followed. For Sunday swimming the pool will be open from 2:30 in the afternoon until 5 o'clock. The full stair will be on duty during this time to assure safety protection tb all the swimmers. The new program has been set up as a part of the wartime service the Community building is giving to the people of this locality at a time when they find it difficult to go very far from home for entertainment. The plan was approved at the meeting of the Community board last week and has been adopted for this summer only until it is determined how well the members respond to this extra recreational opportunity. Tf the board decides that it is a definite advantage to -the well being oft he citizens in North Canton, it is possible that the plan will be continued in other years. Two members of the group of English children brought to America by the Hoover Co. prior to America's entiance into the war have now reached the age for military service and have completed tlie first stens toward the start of tl eir militaiy training.

When the boys have indicated their preference they are then subject to be placed in Class A-l for tlie same physical examination required of American boys. If the boys elect to serve their own cuuntiy and complete their examinations, th-3 lesulting information is passed on to the British authorities who are given 45 days in which to exercise their option of notifying the boys where they are to report. In the event that this option is not exercised by the British government, the boy automatically becomes subiect to local draft board pioceaure in the sune manner as any American boy. a Parents of the boys who will bc subject to this military service aia- as eager us the boys themselves to have them placed on the same draft basis as the boys here, in older to ^9 ^ft'V.-.'-'1"1-.;'11. winning the .w*.,^ jTnelwo"boy's oi' the. g-ioup "already eligible for military service have complied with the registration procedure and are now waiting their notice from the British government. seen a H * Commissioner Pagan has spoken before our House of Representatives urging a study of the political, economic and social conditions in Puerto Rico.

Stark county must inctease its butter production in !!)!" to 800,- C00 pound?, or approximately 10 per cent more than 1!J12, if tlie United States Department of Agriculture's national goal is to he met. ] The nation's production of cieam- I ery butter dropped last year to an ! estimated l,779,4fi5,000 pounds, or i about five per cent below the 19-1J level. Butter production likewise decreased in Ohio in 1942, dropping to an estimated 72.G20.000 pounds as compared to 77,339,000 pounds the previous year, but higher average returns were lecoived from this product. Heavy requiiemcnts of not only our armed foices but al.--'o our allies makes increased production of butter of vita] importance in 1943, snid Owen M. Richards, manager of the American Dairy Association, an organization that speaks for .**>,- 000,000 dairy farmers. Diveision of lar»e butter supplies to war uses probably will trim civilian consumption to 13 pounds or le?s per person this year, as compaied to thc peacetime average of 17 pounds. •j^^jmunity rec- -. reation program Tsr among those listed in the annual Recreation Year Book for 1942 just published. This national report contains des-, tailed information on the public- recreation pyigrams in almost 1,100 communities. Seveial hundred community rec- icatjon centers have adjusted their piograms to meet the needs Of .the ■ men in uniform and war workers, ;:ce(iding to the Year Book figures. while others have provided special i .creation for men in the anned f mees through their municipal lecreation agencies. The recoid" shows that, on the whole, in spite of various difficulties, the- community recreation movement-held its own during the fhst year of American participation in the war, and the cities rendering special wartime service indicate the whole-hearted response of i-rcreatioii authorities to the challenge toward greater effort. life-Saving Glass !o Start Next Tuesday Life-saving classes at the swimming pool will- start next Tuesday morning at 10:30 o'clock undsr di rection of Colin Brown.
