Don't minority groups know when they are well off!" „ But—have you noticed how many of the people who say that, are those who have never met with discrimination ? ►~ They have never moved outside of their own. particular or- * bit, but the barrier that has kept them back has not been that of "restriction" or "discrimination". Instead it has been lack of money, or desire that restrained them. As individuals they knew they were acceptable anywhere. Before you condemn: minority pleadings, just think how you. would feel if you weren't wanted—not after having had a eltance to prove your worth, but before and regardless; Remember that America was founded by men and women who- were annoyed to action by restrictions — on jobs, in lands where trades descended from father to son; on religion, where no man. could hold office who did not adhei'e to the creed of the State; on speech, where the secret police dogged the steps of those who thought for themselves— and so. on. All of us who are "native born, of native born" are descended from those who objected to restrictions. Can we, therefore, be anything but patient and understanding of. those who are trying to achieve what we have been, born to—equal treatment as equals the rights of being judged as individuals, not labelled as a minority and held outside the common life? .These minorities want to belong.

M More than 1,600,000 Boy Scouts, Cubs and their adult volunteer leaders will observe Boy Scout Week, Feb. 8 to 1*, markiagr the 34th anniversary of the founding of Seouting in the United States. Since 1910, wore than 11,400,000 American boys and men have agreed that—"IVs Great to be a Seoul!" • Local Boy Seoul Troops Join National Celebration Scoutmaster Russell Youtz ancl his Boy Scout Troop, of Zion Evangelical and Reformed Church, Lester Patterson, and his Troop of the Community Christian Church, and James E. Harrison and his Troop, of St. Paul's Catholic Church, will join witli other members of the Movement throughout the United Stales in the celebration of Boy Scout Week which begins Tuesday, Rebruarv 8 and continues through Monday, Fehiuaiy 11. Petttttizihg Economy Many absurdities-have , been brought to. light in the price and rationing rules of OPA. None has been more absurd than the order declaring that no seller of .women's and children's coats/suits,.and dresses-may carry a higher price line than the to"p carried in that particular store-in the base period of March, 1942. It means that stores which have centered their efforts on selling to the) public at the lowest possible prices, are now penalized for their efficiency. How the order affects the public is best illustrated by the case of a retailer who in March, 1942, was selling Children's skirts for $1.00. Today he finds that manufacturing costs make it impossible to replace this same skirt for less than $1.19,. but, he, cannot adjust his prjee to coyer this rfee in coslL Therefore, he s forced to drop- the cheap item altogether, and when Mrs. Consumer drops in to buy a skirt for her daughter, she finds no skirt. She must go to a high- j er-priced store where she will haye to buy a more costly garment. By not allowing a modest increase in the cheap line, the OPA actually forees'the customer to.pay higher prices. The low-cost distributor can ho longer serve at low cost and the consumer pays the bill. - Acording to news,reports, the OPA.has established the procedure in the restaurant:business:, kow^rjeed restaurants that sold pie.at 1.0 cents a cut during tiie base period, are, prohibited from "raising their prices to cover rises in wholesale pie costs. High-priced restaurants that formerly sold pic at fifteen cents, are not affected. Again the efficient, low-priced operator and the" sniall operator have been penalized by a bureaucratic iibsurdity. It is a curiouis way to fight inflation-! Power of Qiricfe Aciiori Many men drafted for military service may feel- that they are asked to take on a heavy burden out of duty to their cptmtry. It is a burden foi-, all who are exposed to experiences of danger or. whose life work or education is iiiter- ruped. The men who take on this burden are entitled to the highest avetlit for the cheerfulness with which it is assumed. They are also gaining many advantages from military experience. One of these benefits is that their training produces quickness of thought and action. Precision and quickness.-of action are- things that distinguish a military group, from an unorganized crowd of people. When the military unit marches along, and is commanded to make a sudden turn, thdse men cannot stop to ponder and reflect, but they haye^to,.tum quickly and accurately. So it is in all> their daily experience. ism, Ohio State University. hirst prize in Ohio went In "'The Lincoln Log" Lincoln High School in Cleveland, it was announced. A similar contest on the ttibeicu- ,losis program will, lie sponsored in 1044, officials of the Stark County Tubeiculosis and Health Assori.ifion announced.

Roy Scout Week maiks the 'Min anim'i'isai j of the founding of- the Movement in America. Since Feb. 8, 1010, more than 11,100,000 men and buys have been actively identified witli Scouting.

Vets Take Aptitude Tests for Employment 'Dispatch Bearers have distributed and placed in public places a total of 15,913.37."i Government posters and 35,000,000 other pieces of literature. Last week they put up the Economic Stabilization poster and the first of the Security of War Information posters. Next week they will place posters dealing with the Women Marine Corps and a second Security of War Information poster. Elmer Davis, in a letter to the Boy Scouts, a few days ago, pays the following tribute to their work: "'During the past year the Boy Scouts of America have served most efficiently as Official Government Dispatch P^eareis foi the Officeof War Information. As in the first World War, the Boy Scouts have again answered their country's call in this wai io help in bringing mes- sage> of vital importance to the home front. "As Ihe Bo) Scout Movement observes it* tlm ty-fouith anniversary during Boy Scout Week—February 3 to 1 t—we extend to every member our appreciation not only for the fillet reeor I of former .Boy Scouts serving with <nii Armed Forces but also, ior the lccoid of patriotic service on the home front of- today's Boy Scouts." . - ' - ; Boy Scout-, have pitched in on the Fourth War Loan Drive which ends next week, taking orders for War Bonds and Stamps. In their part in the "Food for Freedom" Campaign last year, the Hoy Senilis of America gave more than 100,000.000 hours of labor to the production and conservation of food. This is reported equivalent to the sirvices of 2."i,(>00 full-time agricultural workcis for one year. This year the need will be greater. Scouts, accordingly, are planning more service camps, from which Scouts work for farmers, and more "day-haul projects" giving Scouts opportunities to help on farms when help is mcist needed. A feature of the Boy Scout Week celebration this year will be the creation by Boy Scout Troops of "Victory Patrols" comprising former Scouts who are now in the Armed ' rces. Many soldiers, sailors a*d arines, pariiculaily the younger tes, \isil theii former Troops In'le on furlough and relate some their experiences In many -oops celebrations this week, parts or wives of seivicemen will ac- pt the "Victory Patrol" cards for mailing to theii men in service. Countless former Scouts have reed how some handicraft skill, lowledge of nature loxe-and living the open has enabled them to ad- nce more rapidly in the ranks or ttei take care of themselves in ngle warfare. More than COO for- ei Scouts have already received the {'best awards from the GoVern- (Cmil imied-.-nrt-Pagft. .Thres) Fight the Squander bug with fronds Local civic organizations who are active in the 4th War- Loan diive are doing their best towards exterminating that worst af all pests, the "Squander Bug", but they can't do it alone-. YO-U, must help. The squander bug isn't a nice honest lopen and' above board insect like the potato bug. that you can see and. knock off or squash, between two sticks. In fact you eair't squash him with, anything' but .will tpower and the- desire to make your money go. the farthest and do [•thei moat goo'd; for the greatest intirtjiber of people. Surely no money cculd go farther " or do moie good, for more people than the money invested in War Bends. It will go around the word, last for years and years, benefit the purchaser in dividends, bring1 our hoys hack home,, and; end the world o.hoals. Perhaps you think your individual* bond pur- chcisa can't do that much but do you recall the little quotation that I'most of us learned1 in school that 'said, "Little" drops of water, little grains of sand; make the mighty ocean and the beauteous land"? 'And. we also- recall a song that went "every little bit added to what you've got makes- just a little bit more." So while your bond purchase may only be a "d;op" or a "grain" or a "little bit" nf the stupendous sum asked for, join the exterminators, not only of the squander bug but of aJL the other reptiles and demons of liatred and war that infest the earth. Mrs. R. W. Ramsey,, local chair- inan, says that the drive members I are all on their toes and working hard with good results but we are still a. long way from the goal. She is having able assistance from Mrs. Walter Trott and Mrs. Clarke Miller, of, the North, Canton Woman's club; Forest Oberlin, of the American Legion; Mrs; W. II,. Gray,, of the Legioit Auxiliary,- Mas. Smith Witter, of the North Canton P. T. A., Mrs. Lester J. Hess, of St. Paul's P. T. A., and Otis Jester of the Rotary Club, and other workers. Wtar is more than victory one day and setbacks another, a. Bond Di-ive this month and throw your money away the next. It is a continuing struggle against the enemy in the field and those eco nomic and' social forces at home that would destroy us. It is sacrifice and work and blood every minute of every hour. This Bond' Drive is a pairfc of that unrelenting battle. American la- 'bor will see it "through. For these reasons I am convinced that men and woman in our factories, shipyards, mills and field?, will buy War Bonds to the limit of their ability. I believe they will take every (dollar above the cost of living essentials and put them in Bonds. They will give up any extra re- |g-s-afion they might have and use that money for Bonds. I believe they will make an extra, effort to buy an extra Bond during this dtive^—just as they have worked extra hours and accepted extra duties beyond those they thought ,they could reasonably bear. The K3 million workers of this nation have sent their sons and brothers into the front lines and have dedicated themselves to unremitting toil until the war is won • Now, in the Fourth .War Loan Drive, labor will again" iprove its deep faith in our cause— by purchasing Bonds. While sons from this community help press the attack on distant and dangerous shores, peoples h;re ara asked to take a "beach head" on the home front by raising- Stark County's quota of $20,606,000 in the Fourth War Loan. Fir.=t, the community must pro- j vide its share of. the nation's $14,- ' 000,000,000, which will help continue the attack against the Axis on all faattlefronts. Second, War Bonds must be sold as never before if the civilian front is to be protected from another enemy—inflation. Bankers, business men, economy ists and all who study national income have joined with War Bond leaders in warning of the disaster which can come when money in people's hands far outruns the things available for them to buy, as in America today. R. W. Coyne, field: directo.r of the Treasury's War Finance Division, has said: "Spending as usual in war-time is just as dangerous as carrying a lighted cigarette in a powder plant. Both are a form of sense- j less sabotage. Both .threaten the .personal; safety of thie csteless individual as; well as the- safety ,of 'surrounding property and people." The United Nations are everywhere on the. offensive., ,(Qjir arnteid forced are doing their-part. We on the home front, will iot-. be doing our part unless we invest far more in War Savings Bonds during* the Fourth War Loan Drive than we thave done in. any of the drives so far. '. Our people, as q. whole, ihave the money. Even sifter.paying increased taxes, the public as a whole has 50 per cent more income now than in 1941. Individuate and partnerships have over 50 . billion dollars in hank accounts—well over 15 billions more in coin and. paper money. All this is in addition- to Hie dollars owned by corporations. These dollars—every one not absolutely essential for living-r- rfiould lie put to work to ihelp win this war. We, the people,, have a clear choice before us. We, can- p3y for the winning of this war in the least painfuul way or the. most painful way. We can't escape making a choice. We can do it tjie hard way by going in for an orgy of spending, bidding up prices in an ever-rising spiral1, forcing the Government to bonow from the banking system. That is a process whereby more and more money- dangerous dollars—would he. created. It means not using fully or effectively in the war effort the already vastly expanded existing money supply. That is .the highroad to reckless inflation. If we travel that i-oad, we will shatter the hopes and dreams of millions of the men and women in our fighting forces. They j,ic making their plans even now foi their return to civilian life. The majority are saving their money thinking of what it will huy," a house, a farm, furniture, and other things of necessity foregone while the war is on. If these high hopes are wrecked because prices have been allowed to rise until the care- fully^saved dollars ;yrill buy only a half or a third; or less of what they would purchase when tour fighting forces went away—if we at home allow this to happen, then let us beware. Local p-Ta celebrates |y|ore Blood Doners Needed from »»**•"*■*■ North Canton and Vicinity In celebration of. the eleventh year of existence of the North Canton P-T, A., the. association was honored in having Judge .Graham as guest [.speaker at the Tuesday, February 1st meeting at the high school auditorium. 1944 marks the forty- seventh, year of the founding of the national organization of Parpntr Teachers. (^ Judge Graham declared that he is proud to note that our American schools are developed to the high standard which is possible only in a democracy. He also reviewed- our civil rights and liberties. He stressed the fact that one of our many postwar problems will be the erection of more and adequate quarters for criminals. Probationary rules, according to Judge Graham, are violated more during the present war than in the preT\var period. Judge Graham ended with the thought that though our laws are in some respects imperfect as were our men who made them and as those who execute them, we can all be justly proud of our American political- system. Mrs. R. E. Trachsel traced the history of the-eleven years of the P- T. A. from its first meeting at the Community building with E. C. Roberts as the first president in 1033. In addition, to Mr. Roberts the following have served as presidents of the group: Conrad Trott, C. W. Studer, Mts. Charles Shorb, Mrs. Walter Trott, Mrs. Ruth Atcheson and Mrs. Smith Witter. Mr. William Nagel presented Mrs. Ruth Atcheson the only past president attending the meeting, with a rose. Special vocal music for the meeting was presented by Mr. McAnany and daughter with Mrs. Schilling at the piano. Mr. Eldon Basinger was in charge of devotipnals. In the absence of Mr.s.. Smith. Witter, president, Mrs. P. M. Hawkins presided. • .we should feel ourselves Mrs. Learcb had charge of program privileged to give our blood in such arrangements. The P-T. A. has cooperated with each of the national war loans. To continue work on the present drive, thirty volunteers are needed to sell bonds and stamps in various public, buildings Saturday from 0 to 4 o'clock. Refreshments were, served by Mrs. H-. H.

Thbse Minorities
A lot of thoughtless people are asking today "Why all this
clamor for rights? Don't minority groups know when they
are well off!"
„ But—have you noticed how many of the people who say
that, are those who have never met with discrimination ?
►~ They have never moved outside of their own. particular or-
* bit, but the barrier that has kept them back has not been
that of "restriction" or "discrimination". Instead it has been
lack of money, or desire that restrained them. As individuals they knew they were acceptable anywhere.
Before you condemn: minority pleadings, just think how
you. would feel if you weren't wanted—not after having had
a eltance to prove your worth, but before and regardless;
Remember that America was founded by men and women
who- were annoyed to action by restrictions — on jobs, in
lands where trades descended from father to son; on religion, where no man. could hold office who did not adhei'e to
the creed of the State; on speech, where the secret police
dogged the steps of those who thought for themselves—
and so. on. All of us who are "native born, of native born"
are descended from those who objected to restrictions.
Can we, therefore, be anything but patient and understanding of. those who are trying to achieve what we have
been, born to—equal treatment as equals the rights of being
judged as individuals, not labelled as a minority and held
outside the common life?
.These minorities want to belong. They want the same
rights; we • possess—the right to work and be useful, the
" right to economic security, the right to freedom from want
