Winter Makes
Final Stand (?)
Birds Suffer Most In Battle of
Seasons
Kid Spring and Old Man Winter
squared off for a show down battle
early Wednesday morning when most
everyone was deep in the comforting
arms of Morpheus and it appeared for
a time that the Old Man had too much
power for the youngster.
Accompanied by a heavy wind Winter huffed and puffed throughout most
of the morning and succeeded in delivering several telling blows that
threatened to send the Kid down for
the count. However, Spring began
to regain his strength and with the
aid of the Sun began a comeback
that gradually began to tire Winter
near the middle of the fight.
However, the fight was far from
over for throughout the day it raged
off and on with first Winter being the
agressor and then Spring. To make
matters worse Henry Temperature decided to take a hand in the situation
and sent Speedy Mercury tumbling
downwards to around freezing, this
being close to noon.
Evidently feeling that the battle
had to end soon, Kid Spring continued to battle against apparent overwhelming odds and began a belated
rally early in the afternoon to swing
things in his favor. Fleecy Clouds began to scatter over the sky allowing
the sun to peak through and as a result Winter's most telling punch,
Snow, began to melt away.
Though we sat on the inside looking out, that is, the fury of the battle
didn't harm us, there are some who
were definite victims of circumstance.
These poor unfortunate creatures are
our familiar song birds. Huddled in
small groups in various spots that
provided some sort of shelter they
seemed to say "What have we done
to deserve this kind of treatment."
Their lot can be made much easier if
a few bread crumbs, etc., are spread
in sheltei-ed spots along with a litlte
warmed water.

Merchants Offer
Special Bargains
Unusual Values May Be Had For
Two Days, April 17-18
North Canton merchants have banded together and are offering for two
days only, April 17 and 18, outstanding values in merchandise proving
again that just as good bargains can
be had here as in other communities.
This will not only afford an opportunity for residents of the community
to take advantage of this offer but
also those who work here or live in
nearby communities. Another factor
that plays a vital role is the ease with
which shopping may be carried out.
For one thing there is not the parking problem which is the bugbear of
many shoppers. Another thing is the
curtailment of long waiting should
you be in a hurryy If you're not in a
hurry you'll find the merchant ready
to help you in every respect.
North Canton merchants have built
up a reputation of friendly service
backed by many years of fair dealing
both of which are prime essentials
in any business if it is lo succeed.
Proof that they have succeeded can
be readily ascertained by the fact that
they are still here despite the depression, recession or what have you
anxious to serve you.
You can assure yourself of being
able to secure other unusual bargains,
showing the merchants you are appreciative of their efforts to present such
values, by taking advantage of this
two-day sale.

Hidden Taxes Take
$133,848 From Here
Based on Total Retail Sales of
$858,000 in North Canton
Families of North Canton and vicinity pay $133,848 in hidden taxes
annually on their retail purchases
alone, according to a survey announced today by the National Consumers Tax commission.
This burden, the report stated, is
paid through increased costs of feed,
clothing, fuel, medicine and other
daily purchases. The analysis, directed from the NCTC headquarters in
Chicago, was based on total retail
sales in North Canton of $858,000 as
reported by the U. S. Bureau of the
Census.
The commission is a non-political
organization of. women combatting
through local groups "unnecessary
taxes that penalize consumers by increasing the cost of living," the report said. The crusade is led in the
state by Mrs. C. W. Walters, of
Cleveland, national committee member.
The report, which said more than
3,700 NCTC units across the country
have added their forces to the crusade, pointed outs the local hidden tax
figure concerns retail sales only and
does not include many other taxes,
hidden and direct, that families here
have to pay.

1,414 of State's 1,170,000 Total
Located in North Canton
Ohio, with a population under seven
million, has more telephones than all
of Russia, with its 175 million inhabitants and several great cities, according to the report of a world-wide
survey of telephone development just
completed by Bell System statisticians and received by L. E. Nichols,
district commercial manager.
At the start of the present year
there were 1,170,000 phones as against
Russia's 950,000. Of the Ohio total

Cleveland's total of 254,000 telephones
is three times greater than two English cities of similar size—Liverpool
with 76,500 and Birmingham witli
slightly less.
Indications point to a total of 41
million telephones in the world this
