Honors For Learning
. Classic and cultured scenes are being witnesses in colleges and universities, where these institutions are conferring scholastic degrees on their graduates. Also men and
women who have done outstanding jobs in the world are being recognized by special honorary degrees.
It is sometimes said that to put a piece of paper in the
hands of a youth telling him( he is now a Bachelor of Arts,
or something else, is not likely to get him anywhere in the
world of work. The prospective employer, they say, is looking for the-kind of degree you get when you put on an apron,
roll up your sleeves, and operate some machine or tool with
exceptional skill.
'. The world has a way of honoring those who can hit a
baseball the farthest, administer telling blows to a fighter,
or makes a heap of money in some deal. When the colleges
give people degrees simply for the acquirement of the wisdom of the world, it is a suggestion that the brain is mightier than the tricks of the hand, and that service to mankind
counts higher than amusing the world.
Long May It Wave
Some call it "Old Glory" or "Stars and Stripes"—the
correct name is "The Flag of the United States."
In these times of stress and turmoil, at home and particularly abroad, every good citizens looks with pride on the
Flag of our Republic—the flag of freedom.
One of the finest tributes to our flag ever written or
spoken is this, by our former President Calvin Coolidge:
"It pictures the vision of a people whose eyes were turned to the rising dawn. It represents the hope of a father for
his posterity.- It was never flaunted for the glory of royalty;
but to be born under it is to be the child of a king, and to
establish a home under it is to be the founder of a royal
house. Alone of all flags it expresses the sovereignty of a
people, which endures when all else passes. He who lives under it and is loyal to it is loyal to truth and justice everywhere. - He who Jives,under it and is disloyal to it is a traitor
to the human race everywhere."
Building Rural America
The U. S. Department of Agriculture has in contemplation an extended program for reconstruction of rural life.
With millions "of farm workers unemployed or partly idle,
country life needs a lift. The energy and experience possessed by these workers is like some great resource that is
only partly utilized, like some vast stream whose power is
only turning a few wheels.
The rural country is raising more food products than
can be sold. There are two possible solutions. One is to so
boost manufacturing production that unemployed farm workers will be needed at the bench and in the store. The second
is to set the research men'to finding new uses for farm products. They liave already performed miracles in creating
these new markets.   They will soon perform more.
Erstwhile Trojan Horses
Federal, State and local officials have found disloyal
groups, organizations and agents of foreign governments in
localities that were believed to be as free from suspicion as
Caesar's wife, on her own front porch. When Congressman
Dies first began-to tell the country about spies and enemies,
cries of remonstrance arose against him,'but he has convinced everyone that there are Nazis, Fascists and Communists moving around, where they might least be expected to
be found. So it behooves every locality to conduct its own
careful survey to discover the differences between honest
persons with soufid opinions" about war conditions and the
objects of other persons who may bed isloyal to the government of the United States.    ,
No Private Fight
Italy's entrance into the war reminds one of the old
story of two men fighting, when a third came along. The
newcomer inquired if this was a private fight, or if anyone
could get into it. There are some people like that. If they
see a scrap, they want to take part in it.
The world of the future is not going to honor and reward those who start and carry on wars, but those who create human welfare. The petty grievances which the Italian
government claims could be settled in an, hour over the conference table, if there was any desire to-settle. Most men
looking back at their school days will recall how the big bully
who wanted to fight everybody finally met his match.
A 50,000 Picnic
They had the second annual all-states picnic June 1 at
Ontario, California, at which guests were expected from every state in the United States, with tables set for 50,000
people. It was a gesture of friendship for all the states of
"the union, and symbolic of~the tie of neighborliness which
should hold all the states together.  ■
When people go' on a picnic anywhere, they forget the
petty jealousies of their families and neighbors. They are so
busy eating" ham sandwiches and batting balls on the picnic
ground, that they disregard some mean things the neighbors have said. A picnic for all the states is a reminder that
we are all neighbors, and should work together as harmoniously-as people do for the fun. of picnic day.

NORTH CANTON, STARK COUNTY, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 1940
$1.50 PER YEAR
Over 3,000
Present at
Band Festival
Rain Fails to Dampen Spirit
of Fun-Seekers at Event
Sponsored by School Band
Association
Rain failed to dampen the ardor
of followers of various school
bands in the vicinity when North
Canton held their annual band festival on Friday and Saturday
nights. Well over 3,000 persons
were present on the two nights.
All the festive spirit of true carnival fun reigned supreme as young
and old converged on the grounds,
rain or no rain, for their night or
nights of enjoyment.
The committee in charge, completely undaunted by the inclement
weather of Friday evening, promptly moved everything- indoors. Later in the evening, when things
cleared up, it was just a short
time before the stands were moved
outside and the program continued.
Though it was damp underfoot
and many a person wearing white
shoes faced with the problem of
cleaning them the next day, this
was but a sidelight as they went
about trying this and trying that.
Naturally, the old soup bone was
taken out of retirement by many
oldsters as they attempted to spill
the milk. Some found that the old
arm still had its zip and their aim
good but others, well, they at least
had the fun of trying.
One stand gave the impression
of a dude ranch moved east, what
with three 'Cow girls," Dorothy
McClelland, Myrtle Denton, and
Genevieve Swearingen, carrying
on a spiel that would have made
a true carnival "barker" sit up and
take notice. Their outfit was complete, even to the 10-gallon hats.
If Junior had a tummy ache the
next morning, it really wasn't his
fault for there were refreshments
of all kinds and who could pass
them up? Ice cold pop, hot dogs,,
ice cream, candy, etc., all found its
way down the throats of the youngsters who had a merry time.
The North Canton band made
two appearances on Friday evening when the Coventry band cancelled its trip. However, Hartville,
Greentown and Uniontown were on
hand and all turned in a creditable
job. On Saturday evening, Jackson, Middlebranch, Louisville, Canal Fulton and North Canton made
up the musical program.

Red Cross
Makes Appeal
Funds Needed For War-Torn
Countries
In order to meet the mounting
human needs over so many countries, the Red Cross has sent a call
for funds. The Red Cross is always on hand when the catastrophe comes, and we need to pour
out our all, to bring to the war
suffering world some semblance of
relief and help of all kinds. Stark
county has'been asked to do its
part in the present call.
We folks in North Canton need
to do our, part. Support at this
time will do many things. It will
bring help to broken bodies, food
to starving people, sanitation to
devastated areas, and health among
those people where plagues come
as an aftermath of war. It may
also be an insurance for us against
such a plague as came- to this
country at the close of the last
World War.
-Health and rehabilitation are
fundamental for all people at the
time of catastrophe. War is one
of the worst catastrophes that man
experiences. People become so
weakened by the terrible conditions
of hate and brutality, so dismayed
by the awful destruction of all
around them, including friends and
loved ones, that the spirit of hope,
the driving force of effort, is gone.
To kill man's spirit destroys his
reason for living. "These people of
Europe need to know, right now,
that there are people still living
who will give their all to help;
they need to know that there are
people who do not hate, who will
not hurt.
The call has come to us through
our churches. It has come
through the mail to individuals, it
will come and COME. Do not count
your coins, but pour out every cent
you can. We cannot give too much.
JUST KEEP ON GIVING.

West Traces
Meat History
Rotarians Get Information on
Packing Industry
Tracing the history of meat from
the time cattle were brought to this
country by the Spanish explorer,
Cortez, to the modern methods of
killing, dressing and preserving today, Mr. West, manager of the
Cleveland branch, Swift and Company, spoke to member of the
Noith Canton Rotary club on Thursday evening.
Introduced by John Honeywell,
local representative of the company, Mr. West revealed that Ohio
raises about 40 per cent of its requirements in meat and that the
state ranks seventh in packing
concerns, and second in the number
of packing houses.
Stating that most of our meat
comes from the midwest, the speaker said that two thirds of the cattle are raised west of the Mississippi and about two-thirds is consumed east of this great river
and that Chicago is the hub of the
meat packing industry. Another
interesting point given by the
speaker was the fact that two-
thirds of the tillable land in the
United States is devoted to raising
live stock to consume for food.
"Refrigeration plays an important part in the meat business today," Mr. -West said. He added
that meat prices would be higher
today if packing companies failed
to use by-products. They use 140
things taken out of live animals
today.
Strange as it may seem, according to Mr. West, it is the consumer
and not the packer, who regulates
meat prices. He concluded Ms talk
by saying that the average person
in the United^ States consumes 135
pounds of meat annually but that
during the depression years this
fell to 122 pounds.
Club members were also reminded of the annual picnic to be held
Thursday evening at Witwer park.
A basket supper for all Rotarians
and their families will be served
at 6:80 p. m.

Music Festival
Saturday Night
Band Benefit Event Sponsored by Music Club
Greentown Music club will sponsor a Music festival for the benefit of the band Saturday night,
June 22, north of Greentown
square.
Ray Swinehart, president, says
that the committees assisted by the
different organizations of the
town are making all arrangements
for a great evening.
There will be something doing
all the time and plenty of ice
cream, cake, hot dogs, peanuts and
popcorn to eat. There will also be
amusements of various kinds.
The arrangements of the musical portion of the program were
made by A. V. Silverstein, director
of the band, and Earl Keck, who
contacted the directors of other
schools to attend.
The following bands will take
part: North Canton, Middlebranch,
Uniontown, Springfield, Copley,
Coventry and Greentgfwi. .? '.,.T
Summit beach will become the
mecca of attractions forHoover employes, their families, residents of
North Canton and vicinity when
the annual community "picnic is
held Saturday, June 22.
The event has been growing by
leaps and bounds each year, and
the Hoover activities committee has
been working hard to make this
year's picnic bigger and better
than ever. They have made arrangements whereby free rides will
be provided for all children of high
school age between the hours of
10 a. m. and 7 p. m.
Activities are scheduled to begin
promptly at 9 a. m. in the ball
park, which is adjacent to the park.
Here events of all kinds, races,
horseshoes, etc., for both young and
old, will be staged. Youngsters
will participate according to age.
Prizes will be awarded all participants, the winners, of course, receiving something just a bit better.
The committee is anxious to
avoid any difficulty over the events
usually encountered when entrants
in the races participate in several
races which might put them in the
upper or lower bracket For example, if a youngster who might
be fleet of foot wins in the 9 to
12 class and then turns around and
enters the 12 to 15 class and wins
it, it gives too much dominance in
the field and eliminates some others who might have had a good
chance. For this reason, the committee is hoping for the cooperation of the youngsters in this respect.
One of the annual features, the
the ball game between the old timers and the regular Hoover team,
will not be staged since the company is not represented by a ball
game between the factory „and office girls. Both teams have been
practicing faithfully in preparation
for this battle and each is certain
of victory.
For the older group, there will
be free dancing in the afternoon.
They will also have the opportunity to roller skate between 2 and
5 p. m.
Those attending have been assured there is plenty of parking
snace and ample room for picnic
baskets. Dinner hour has been set
for 12:30 p. m. and coffee, ice
cream and orangeade will be furnished.
Those wishing to attend, but
lacking transportation facilities,
are asked to get in touch with Bob
Miller in the Hoover Traffic department."
