The sheriff's office reported'the accident occurred at 10:47 a. m. las Mr. Frank drove his tractor from a side alley onto Portage street. He was evidently just straightening up the tractor which was ■drawing an empty hay wagon when a Redi-Mix cement truck from Massillon hit the tractor, throwing Mr. Frank to the pavement where he was run over by his farm machinery. A passing motorist rushed him to Mercy hospital where attendants reported his condition as,seri- ous. Mr. Frank's wife and two children, Mary and Donna, reside on Portage street extension. A son, Arthur E. Frank, is serving with the U. S. Army in Germany. 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. North Canton Post Office Has New Hours The main post office in Canton and all branch stations including the North Canton post office will close at 2 p. *m. each Saturday," beginning July 28, Louis J. Elsaes- ser, postmaster, announced ''t"his ■week. However, the parcel post and stamp windows will remain open at the main post office in Canton until 5 p. m., Mr. Elsaesser said. He emphasized tha the new closing time will in no way .effect Saturday's delivery service. 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.

The Women's Christian Temperance Union of North Canton will celebrate its 25th anniversary AuguSft 18, with a-* pot-luck picnic August 7 as the celebration. Organized August 18, 1920, with Mrs. Grace Baughman- as the first president, there were 15 charter members in the infant group.

UI1U tJUU^tlll Mrs. Mary Price, Mrs. Velma Wise, Mrs. Elma Shook, Mrs. Grace Baughman, Mrs. Grace Lewis, Mrs. Grace Manchester, Mrs. Mary Gilson ("deceased), Mrs. Clara Snyder deceased), Mrs. Ian Druckenbrod (deceased), Miss Anna Metzger, Miss "Emma Metzger (deceased), Mrs. Edna Hoover, 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. Pvt. Carl E. Bair is stationed at Ft. Lewis, Washington awaiting assignment to a permanent base.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The WPB reported recently that an adequate supply of effective antimalarial medication is available for civilian needs.
