Missionary Picnic
Brings 120 People
Approximately 120 townspeople
and children from Ft. Wayne attended the picnic planned by the
Women's Missionary society and
held at Witwer park.
Preceding    the    picnic    supper,
the bankers, the lawyers, the doctors, the preachers, the I Wayne childre-^and children   of
Many centuries ago a Chinese philosopher wrote of government: '"The king is the boat; the common people are the
water. The water can support the boat, or capsjize it."
. What was said then of ancient China is true today of our
modern democracy. Our government requires the support of
all the people—or it sinks. "Government" does not mean particular leaders—but it does mean the republican form of rule
and the democratic way of life. 'It is up to us to support the
boat of our own building—to abide willingly and cheerfully
by the laws we had a part in making, and to carry our full
share of the load.
The small business men are not alone the common people.
The farmers are not alone the common people. Labor alone
is not the common people. But the small business men plus
the farmers plus Labor plus the unorganized workers, plus
housewives—all taken together are the common people,
The party in power, those who hold public office, are neither the king nor the boat. They are but a part of the whole
and they sail or sink as they are supported by the people.
There is no privileged group in this country—no one who
has a right to shirk his duty of citizenship. Neither worker
nor employer is beyond it. Neither rich nor poor can avoid its
tasks. Neither youth nor age deserves special consideration.
Neither Black nor White can shrink jm its command's. Protestant, Catholic and Jew tare alike bound by the call of duty.
We are entering upon a period of even greater strain than
that of the past four years. How we come through it will depend upon ourselves. There must be no tidal wave of demands
by any one group to swamp our Ship of State. There must be
no eddying whirlpool of internal conflict to suck it down into
the depths of the Sea. There must be no hidden sandbars of
resistance on which it might founder. -
■ We have seen what has happened when the ships of other
countries have disintegratea.-S"ve must^upport the boat of
our way of life, for if it eapsi2-es; thirS*-g6sy of the hopes and
dreams of common people the world over will go down with
it.
International Education
'"Th'e 'peace of the world cannot be maintained by police
J      power or economic or social arrangements alone. For the suc-
W   cess of a world security organization there must be developed a climate of world opinion which not only wants such institutions and arrangement but also wants them to succeed.
This requires the establishment of some means by which the
nation and peoples of the world can attain to a higher standard of education and a better understanding of one another
"There can be no realisfm in international covenants which
fLrfe not founded upon common moral aims and a desire of
peoples to understand others as well as to be understood by
them. We believe that any international organization which
ignores this fundamental principle will prove to be unrealistic
and will speedily dissolve into power struggles and imperialistic .competition."
There is not one of us who would not subscribe to this
"statement. We know that ignorance never settles a question.
We luave seen what false education can do to a nation. We
have seen how hatreds between nations between groups have
risen from the teaching of fallacies.
We believe it—but there are those who are doing something about it. The above paragraphs are from a declaration
,    issued by the presidents and chancellors of five hundred
Bl   American universities and colleges calling for the establish-
f     ment of an International Office for Education for further
educational and cultural relations. This declaration has been
forwarded to the American delegation at the San Francisco
Conference by James Marshall, Executive Vice President of
the American Association for an International Office of Education.
Such an Office would be a vital force for the rebuilding
■of,' the world. It would be the agency for building schools
which would be a bulwark against tyranny. It would assure
that never again in any country could' children and youth be
■educated for purposes of aggression. It would mean universal
schools, equal access to educational opportunity and a more
democratic program of educational services.
The International Office of Education is a project which is
of supreme importance to all of us—one which we as individuals and as a nation should heartily endorse. Only through
education can we bring peace to earth and establish in which
we in our figart of hearts believe—the principles of freedom
and fair play for all people. Unless we do this we will remain
a prey to war and to the ambitions of self-seeking despots
who will arise from the ashes of bitter strife. Education in
■understanding is the only way out.
^Dangerous Habits
■r A newspaper exchange remarks-on the tendency of many
-people to do dangerous things. Of course safety campaigns by
""factories, schools, railroad companies, transporation agencies,
-etc, have accomplished excellent results in teaching people
•to use caution in meeting the dangers of modern life.
Yet there is something of a streak of impatience in the
American character, and it leads a good many to do things
:that involve some chance of accident. Some people seem to
dislike to take a bit of time for precautions. Considering all
"the careless things that are done, one might expect that
many more accidents would occur. There are far too many,
"and they involve serious loss to the victims and-the country.
This tendency is-seen in "congested streets o-f many cities,
iwhere many people will cross streets without regard to signals and without carefully looking to see if cars are coming.
the families entertaining them for
their two weeks stay, were conducted by Mrs. Harold Warstler.
Winners of the foot races, shoe
scramble, and ball throwing were
Lynn Greenho, Jane Hushour, and
Judy Williams from town, and
Bobby Richards and Charles Harris from Ft. Wayne.
Ater the races, the picnic was
spread under the shelter and women from the missionary society
served as hostesses.

Health Check Blank
Ready For Children
The National Congress of Parents and Teachers requests that
parents of children -entering first
grade or kindergarten this fall
have the family doctor give each
child a health check-up. This is
not a state law, but is, according
to Mrs. Homer Young, health
chairman of the North Canton
schools, a protective measure for
all school children and is deemed
necessary by the Congress of th*
P-TA.
If parents have not received a
letter containing a summer roundup blank which entitles their child
to an examination by the family
doctor, they may call Mrs. Young,
or Mrs. Lester Hess, health chairman of the parochial school.

cerdited to their record in the National 4-H Farm Safety Activity.
Honor awards of medals, $25 War
Bonds, National 4-H club Congress
honors, and $200 college scholarships are provided by General Motors on county, state, sectional and

Mrs. Elsie Dillin, and Mrs. Gertrude Willaman were the organizers
of North Canton's WCTU.
The group is unique in that its
officers hold their positions for extended lengths of time, not because the charter of the constitution requires it, but because they
are voted to remain. An- example
of this is Mrs. Baughman, first
president, who retained her office
for 13 consecutive years, plus
three -»nore in the 25 years. She
was replaced by Mrs. Frances Al-
bee, who served for two year, replaced by Mrs. Sue. Holl, who served for one year, and was replaced
by Mrs. Metta Musgrave, who
held office for two more years.
The president now serving for the
fourth year is Mr. Beulah Starks.
Secretaries were a little more .
plentiful for the 25 years and included Mrs. Elsie Dillin, Mrs. H.
With Our Boys
In Service
A bulletin entitled "When
Polio Strikes" has been distributed throughout Canton,
Massillon, Alliance, Minerva,
and Louisville, by the Stark
County Chapter of the National Foundation of Infantile
Paralysis. It is a precautionary measure to residents of
Stark county against infantile
paralysis, and presents in
formation on the early signs
of the disease, what to do when
it strikes, and what to do as a
precaution against it.
During an outbreak of polio, the
bulletin says, no one should think
that a stomach upset with vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, severe
headache or signs of a cold and
fever are of no importance. These
may be th& first symptoms of paralysis, it states, and all children
and adults sick with unexplained
fever should be put to bed and isolated until medical. diagnosis is
made.
Any evidence of infantile paralysis should immediately be reported to the local chapter chairmen, who are L. J. Elsaesser,
postmaster, Canton and vicinitv;
B. F. Stantion, 232 Vincent Blvd,
Alliance and vicinity; John A. j
Welsh, Board of Health, Massillon and vicinity and Dr. W. G.
Lyle,   Minerva   and   vicinity.
A report completed on funds for
polio shows that after expenses
were deducted, $24,730.32 was left
from 1945's March of Dimes. The
complete financial report as of
June 1 on the polio fund, minus
expenses is over $21,000.

Swimming Pool Receives
Its Mid-Summer Cleansing
The Community swiming pool has not been in use all week
due to the annual mid-summer cleansing it is receiving at the
hands of Mike Waddell, playground director, and six or seven
boys decked out in bathing trunks, determined to get a tan
while working.
The pool, except the 10 foot section, was drained Tuesday. The
aforementioned brigade used hose
and brooms to clean the fish smell
out of it, and to clean the bottom
of stones and pennies left from
last  Friday's  penny  scramble.
The pool draining and cleaning
has been an all-*week job because
of difficulty in pumping the water
from the 10 foot part and because
of the need to let fresh chlorine
settle for a day. The rejuvenatd
pool, will probably be in use this
weekend in time for the Ft. Wayne
children to take a couple more
splashes before leaving North
Canton on Monday.
The next pool -event, has been
tentativly arranged as a watermelon hunt for next Friday.

child welfare, work among colored
people, Christian citzenship, flower mission, institutes, health, international relations for peace,
legislation, literature, motion pictures, non-alcoholic fruit products,
parliamentary usage, periodicals,

1942 Model Cars Available
Other Rationing: Lifted
The remaining small supply of
new 1942 automobiles have been
removed from all rationing restrictions, the OPA announced this
week. The restrictions were lifted
July IS, and dealers who still have
new 1942 cars in stock may sell
tern to any buyer without rationing restrictions, Max McCulIough,
Deputy Administrator for Ration,
said.
The WPB reported recently that
an adequate supply of effective
antimalarial medication is available for civilian needs. This is
probably due to the fact that military services have notified WPB
that a small percentage of veterans now beimr discharged from
the service will require some form
of antimalarial treatment during
periods of relapse of this disease.
Distressed families of returning
veterans and of men in service
have made eligible for vacant
