I am disturbed over the fact that there is not more concern on the part of a greater number of people over the matter of a substantial reduction in the national debt. ii I will admit that this concern may be due to a more than erage amount*of eonservativeness and what the idealist would call a lack of faith, but be that as it may, I feel that ithe Junior Woman's Club will be There is much talk these days and large plans for a strong system of defense—and there can be no argument against it in the world as it exists today, but a lowered, a consistently lowered' national debt is as important a part of national defense as anything that has yet been proposed. We have fought a great war and won it, but we do not seem to be able to bring ourselves to the point where we are concerned about paying for it. a There is not a man or woman who has gone into debt, and has by thrift and economy finally discharged the obligation and paid the debt, who does not know that the only way 'l&'pay a burdensome debt is by thrift, and self-denial, and an active concern for a reduction of the obligation. There is not a man or a woman who has paid such a debt who does not know that it is dangerous to put off the payment of such a debt to a more convenient day. They know that there is no more convenient time than now, and that no better formula has been devised than that of giving up something, and some times many things, some of which are important and desirable* to make accomplishment of our national debt reduction possible. there is not enough concern being given to the matter of reducing our debt. My concern is prompted by the realization j that the debt, however we may attempt to belittle it and! laugh it off as a matter of no consequence, represents a substantial, a very substantial mortgage on our future. Totaling as it does some 253 billions of dollars, it represents a debt which, with the interest requirements, cannot be paid off even with the best- management in anything under fifty years. To do this will require the best management, and a sizeable amount of taxes, This is assuming that business and employment continues good, and that during the next fifty years the Ship of State does not run into a storm fo depress ion, and falling prices, and reduced incomes do not result in a reduction of the governments receipts. To assume that we will go through the next 50 years without eneounteiing one or more such setbacks is simply to close one's eyes to the faets so clearly revealed in the nation's past history, I am disturbed also because too few people seem to realize that we are living in an abnormal period. They seem to forget that cur above the average employment and unprecedented wages are due to the fact that the industries of this country, since the war, have been working night arid day tQ,produce..mQaihaaidiae=.and^go.Qds.toreplace."those worn out or destroyed- during the war. Even the most optimistic person cannot believe or hope that the condition under which we are now living can continue. There is talk of federal control to prevent too much un- mployment, to hold prices steady, to subsidize the farm in- ustry and the like, but even the novice in economics must know that when matters reach a certain "point in their readjustment not all the maneuvering of the so called economists is going to be able to stop the readjustment of the leveling out. It, like, other great forces of nature, possesses an irresistibleness against which the force of humans is wholly unable to cope. guests of the Club. s Cited at Colymbigs Ouring Convents®?? The Ohio Newspaper association ended a busy two-day annual convention in Columbus, with Cleveland editor Nat R. Howard of the Cleveland News presenting the closing address of the session. These are trying days for our profession Editor Howard told the assembled group of newsmen and women, with the product superior even to newspapers of a decade ago, Ohio Supreme Court Judge Jarm.ss Garfield Stewart of Cincinnati was the guest speaker at the cvsnii:g banquet on Thursday night as was Governor Fr.-ink Lausche. "Public opinion is thp real governing force in the United States" the jurist told assembled newsmen and people .must be educated to that fact by a bold and courageous press. People must be made to understand that they will have to take an interest in international affairs and -never before in the history of the United States, have the newspapers been called upon to do such an immense job of educating the American public, he stated. A free press was never so Your Congressman In Washington The Senior Woman's Club of North Canton will celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary on Monday evening, March 21, at 8 p. m. with a program to be presented by the Drama and Poetry Committee of the club together with the past presidents of the Club. The pageant which will be presented under the direction of Mrs. A. Clarke Miller assisted by her committee composed of Mrs. F. A. Hohl, Mrs. T. M. Hahn, Mrs. Lorin Frick, Mrs. Wilma Gougler, Mrs. A. H. Hobart, Mrs. C. R. I Nelius, Mrs. Harold Sickafoose and I Mrs. C. F. Shorb. It will trace the history of the club through the years from its founding in March 1924 by Mrs. Eleanore Hall and the other charter members down to to- Iday. Mrs. C, E. Ehlers is chairman of the refreshment committee and she will be assisted by Mrs. J. V. Edwards, Mrs. J. H. Voneman, Miss June Evans, Mrs. Earl Waltenbaugh, Mrs, Robert Castle, Mrs. Lee T.

Coons and Mrs. W. H. Carson will be the receptionists for the meeting. The members of Your Congressman, John McSweeney, did not vote this week on legislation concerning the Central Intelligence Agency. By a vote of 348-4 the House voted to suspend the rules and pass a bill granting CIA, Arr.eri ca's "Scotland Yard", the right to carry on certain intelligence functions at the discretion of the director of the "hush-hush" agency. The purpose of the legislation, according to its sponsors, is to build up "a career service in the intelligence field second to none," and to free it from "red tape" that hampers international intelligence work. Mr. McSweeney a former member of the House foreign affairs committee, raised his "humble voice in tribute to a great American" this week in noting the passing of Chairman Sol Bloom of the foreign affairs committee. He introduced a verse in memorium into the Congressional Record in tribute to the late representative.

Metzler better knowrr to all North Cantonites is "Mike" died of a heart attack in Aultman Hospital shortly after noon Saturday March 12, just two days after the death of his father, William Metzler, who had died Thursday afternoon, March 10, following a long illness caused by a heart malady. "Mike" died just an hour after his admission to the hospital. He was 33, and a well-known figure around .town. Both of his legs had been amputated shortly after his graduation from, high school to prevent the spread„of a disease. He had however supported himself and later his father, making his way around on a specially made motor driven cart. He had always been active in the town's affairs and was an ardent sports fan. "Mike" had resided in North Canton his entire life and was a 24- year employee of The Hoover Company. He had.worked in the print shop up to .the time of his death. He was a member of the Zion Evangelical and Reformed Church. Double services were conducted important as it is now he continued on Monday for "Mike" and his and urged the newspapers to continue to play an ever greater role of informing the public of the American governmental picture. In a .meeting held in conjunction with the ONA convention, the Buckeye Press association, an organization of Weeklies, elected Ray Palmer of the Barnsville Enterprise, president. He replaces Leonard 0. Boernor of the Minerva Leader. Howard L. Bush of the Montpel- ier Leader-Enterprise succeeds Palmer as vice" president, and Charles Mosher of the Oberlin News-Tribune becomes executive secretary. Re-elected were Harold K. Schel- lenger of Columbus, recording secretary, and Leonard Insley of the Worthington News, treasurer. Jr. Woman's Club To Hold Guest Meeting March 23 The North Canton Junior Woman's Club will have the Senior Cornerstone of the New Era Many people throughout the world have an uneasy feeling that things today are less what they seem to be than at j Woman's Club members as their any other time in history. Behind aH "the futile bickering! f'8,sts a* th? next meeting to be j.i -r> i.-_ -d-i l j J.-1 * x • m j_ t j-u „ held on March 28. in the Commum over the Berlin Blockade, the Austrian Treaty Impasse, the Chinese debacle, and the UN's.-verbal warfare, there still hovers the atomic bomb. In unknown laboratories, scattered frer the globe, experiments are going on which may prove ore portentuous than any of the political news now dominating the front pages of many of the nation's newspapers. Utilization of atomic science,for peacetime purposes is no less father, in the Zion Evangelical and Reformed Church by Eev. Melvin E. Beck. Burial was made in North. Canton Cemetery.. Both bodies were taken to the church on the morning of the funeral. Previously, services had been scheduled for William Metzler on Sunday in the Lewis Funeral parlors. "Mike's" nearest survivors are a sister-in-law, Mrs. Ora Metzler of Boston, Massachusetts and -two nieces and -a nephew. Mrs. D. 0. Corner To Address Akron Garden Forum Mrs. D. O.'

It is important that the sample be taken to the doctor within a few hours after it is collected. Ths.amount of sugar sometimes decreases if it is allow ed to stand for a long period. If delay is unavoidable, then the urine should be kept under refrigeration. In most cases it will be impractical to make the urine examination test at once. In such cases the sample will be left and the doctor will examine it at the first opportunity and tele-phone the result. If the urine is found to be free of sugar and the subject will get the good news and can go his way in-fce knowledge that he is free from diabetes. If sugar is found in suspicious amounts he will be advised to get in touch with a doctor at once. Presence of sugar in the urine is not proof of diabetes. It merely indicates the need for further examination. Manv temporary upsets, including nervous .tension, stomach disturbances and mild shock can put sugar into the blood temporarily. Blood analysis and other tests will be needed for positive proof. If this complete examination brings a diagnosis of diabetes, diets will be arranged and other treatment prescribed. The doctors hope to make the people think about diabetes seriously without-frightening them into a panic. It is serious only if neglected. However, if detected in time and followed up with simple treatment, the patient may be assured of a normal life. Many cases can be controlled by diet alone.

I Am Disturbed .
I am disturbed over the fact that there is not more concern on the part of a greater number of people over the
matter of a substantial reduction in the national debt.
ii I will admit that this concern may be due to a more than
erage amount*of eonservativeness and what the idealist
would call a lack of faith, but be that as it may, I feel that ithe Junior Woman's Club will be
There is much talk these days and large plans for a
strong system of defense—and there can be no argument
against it in the world as it exists today, but a lowered, a
consistently lowered' national debt is as important a part of
national defense as anything that has yet been proposed.
We have fought a great war and won it, but we do not
seem to be able to bring ourselves to the point where we are
concerned about paying for it.

active concern for a reduction of the obligation. There is not
a man or a woman who has paid such a debt who does not
know that it is dangerous to put off the payment of such a
debt to a more convenient day. They know that there is no
more convenient time than now, and that no better formula
has been devised than that of giving up something, and some
times many things, some of which are important and desirable* to make accomplishment of our national debt reduction
possible.
there is not enough concern being given to the matter of
reducing our debt. My concern is prompted by the realization j
that the debt, however we may attempt to belittle it and!
laugh it off as a matter of no consequence, represents a substantial, a very substantial mortgage on our future. Totaling
as it does some 253 billions of dollars, it represents a debt
which, with the interest requirements, cannot be paid off
even with the best- management in anything under fifty

sizeable amount of taxes, This is assuming that business and

know that when matters reach a certain "point in their

Your Congressman, John McSweeney, did not vote this week on
legislation concerning the Central
Intelligence Agency.
By a vote of 348-4 the House
voted to suspend the rules and
pass a bill granting CIA, Arr.eri
ca's "Scotland Yard", the right to
carry on certain intelligence functions at the discretion of the director of the "hush-hush" agency. The
purpose of the legislation, according to its sponsors, is to build up
"a career service in the intelligence
field second to none," and to free
it from "red tape" that hampers
international intelligence work.
Mr. McSweeney a former member of the House foreign affairs
committee, raised his "humble
voice in tribute to a great American" this week in noting the passing of Chairman Sol Bloom of the
foreign affairs committee. He introduced a verse in memorium into
the Congressional Record in tribute to the late representative.

- It! is best to call during the doctor's regular office hours, if that
is iiripossible then leave it with the
doctor's attendant at a time you
can conveniently call. It is important that the sample be taken to
the doctor within a few hours after
it is collected. Ths.amount of sugar
sometimes decreases if it is allow
ed to stand for a long period. If
delay is unavoidable, then the urine should be kept under refrigeration.
In most cases it will be impractical to make the urine examination test at once. In such cases the
sample will be left and the doctor
will examine it at the first opportunity and tele-phone the result.
If the urine is found to be free
of sugar and the subject will get
the good news and can go his way
in-fce knowledge that he is free
from diabetes. If sugar is found in
suspicious amounts he will be advised to get in touch with a doctor
at once.
Presence of sugar in the urine
is not proof of diabetes. It merely
indicates the need for further examination. Manv temporary upsets,
including nervous .tension, stomach
disturbances and mild shock can
put sugar into the blood temporarily. Blood analysis and other tests
will be needed for positive proof.
If this complete examination
brings a diagnosis of diabetes,
diets will be arranged and other
treatment prescribed.
The doctors hope to make the
people think about diabetes seriously without-frightening them into a panic. It is serious only if
neglected. However, if detected in
time and followed up with simple
treatment, the patient may be assured of a normal life. Many cases
can be controlled by diet alone.
