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
,-..~fpjL their famjhels^-and, most imp»;i"tiait-of all, the right to

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.

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

-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

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.

»»**•"*■*■ 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.

"Blood! Give me Blood!" No, this isn't the beginning o£ a
hair-raising thriller wherein the hairy ape or bloodsucking
vampire captures the defenseless heroine, nor is it the cry of a
pirate in the days when pirates roved the seven seas and
painted their ships with the blood of their victims.
Would to God that it were only fiction! No, again,, it is- not
fiction, it is the cry of countless thousands of our dear ones in this
struggle for freedom and peace, asking for the lifegiving fluid that
alone can save their lives. Perhaps il is not a spoken wprd or sound.
Perhaps the ebb of life has been so .swifL or the wounded one so
far from aid that articulation is impossible, but the surgeon knows
that the inner voice, of the victim cries out through the physical

It was this writers privilege Saturday night to view a motion picture
depicting the evolution of blood
transfusion from its very beginning
up to the present''time; from the
first crude tube that permitted the
blood from one individual to flow
into the veins of another, many
times with disastrous results, to the
transportation and preservation of
the precious plasma which is saving
lives  all  around   the world  today.
We believe that it is the greatest
development in life saving that has
evr been accomplished and we also
believe that it is the bourtden duty
of every American citizen to contribute his or her share to keep the
supply adequate to the demands. The
Blessed Saviour gave His Mood for
us and when and how could we more
properly show our realization and
appreciation of His sacrifice than by
giving our little pint of blood as soon
and as often as we aie permitted to
do so?    Permitied,  we  say,  because

It costs us nothing, and in sharing
il with others we derive the satisfaction that a lifesaver must feel
when he saves a sinking person from
di owning. Only in sharing our God-
given blessings do we keep the channel   open   to   receive   more.
Many perrons have given not only
one
aga
pint with no ill effect. In fact many j js frec
have said that they felt better afterward. Our bodies are such marvel-
. ous mechanisms that before we know
jit the blood which we have given up
is replenished and enriched without
us being conscious of it.
So let us heed the call which has
gone forth for more blood donors by
getting in touch with the Blood
Donor Center and offering our pint.
Donors for February are greatly
needed, since some of the February
volunteers had to be called in January to make up for absentees and
since the list must be made up about
two weeks in advance of arrival of
the Blood Donor Unit, it is necessary
