No Time To Change Modern war has two distinct phases. One is military. The other is economic. And the deciding weapon in either case will be the belligerent powers' natural resources. It takes coal to keep factory furnaces glowing. It takes oil to provide motive power for planes and armored equipment and fighting ships. It takes metal of all kinds in, an incredible quantity to build the weapons and the machines which produce the weapons. It takes abundant electric power to keep industries producing on a wartime basis. And the extent of a nation's natural resources determines' its position as a trading power —and so determines to a very large extent what its diplomatic influence shall be. The United States is singularly blessed by nature with the principal natural resources—metals, petroleum, coal,' water-power. Second, and equally important, under the private enterprise system we have developed these natural resources to an extent unrivaled anywhere else on earth. The American tradition of private initiative has borne magnificent fruits for all the people. And it is this tradition which must be maintained if this country is to achieve its full strength both as an arsenal of democracy, and as a free nation where every man may succeed and prosper and serve to the very limit of his abilities, ambitions and energies. There are those who would now use "national defense" as an excuse to have the government develop our natural resources—who would, in a word, socialize them. We have examples to indicate what would follow if that happened. Eus- sia is rich in natural resources. Yet the Russian standard of living, after more than 20 years of socialism, remains at rock- bottom, and Russian production is notoriously low, wasteful and inefficient. Is this the kind of political philosophy the American people wish to follow? The industries which turn our natural resources to productive use will cooperate to the limit with government now and in the future. They will show the world that a free America; working undorajEree en|e*ssprise system, is stronger than dictatorship, and that free men will out-produce slaves. This is nd' time to change a system which has met and conquered every menace of the past, and which * today is gathering all of its vast resources to meet the menace of the present. Handwriting On The Wall Certain labor leaders in the United States today set themselves and their demands above the welfare and safety of the nation. To enforce their demands, whatever they happen to be, they do not hesitate to imperil the lives, not only of the workers themselves, but of every man, woman and child in our country. Standing behind the cloak of freedom which they enjoy in this land, they are deliberately pursuing a course which may well destroy that freedom, and destroy with it the labor movement they prostitute for financial gain and power. They dictate to government as well as to industry and the worker. There is only one force that can control them— public opinion, which eventually controls .government. The welfare of the public is today threatened on all sides by rule or ruin labor leadership. First, our national defense is at stake. Second, the nation's supply of coal is depleted to the danger point by strikes and threatened strikes. Third, farm production is discouraged through increased costs the farmer cannot meet. The development of little dictatorships was practiced in foreign lands until helpless people accepted a total political dictatorship which finally destroyed personal liberty and labor liberty as well. Labor must realize that when the safety of the nation is in jeopardy, anything can happen. If the people are driven too far, they will be forced to demand a government dictatorship that will end labor dictatorship. And if that happens, the eventual result will be the destruction of the kind of freedom we have all enjoyed.

Robert Leed Awarded Degree at Ohio State Annual Hoover-Community Picnic at Geauga Lake Park Saturday Learn to Swim Week Extended Unfavorable Weather Causes Low Enrollment Because of the unfavorable weather throughout the week the "Learn to Swim" campaign is being extended through another week and the schedule will remain the same with adult classes from 9:30 to 10:30 a. m. and 7 to 8:30 p. m. and children's classes from 10 to 11:30. These classes are for non swimmers who are interested in learning how to handle themselves in the water and are held in addition to the regular swimming classes. Three instructors who are at the pool to conduct the classes are Dorothy McClelland, Frances Seederly and Melvin Carpenter. Instructor Robert Leed, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Leed was among the Ohio State university graduates who received his degree at commencement exercises Monday. He was awarded his degree in the Veterinary School of the university. Those from North .Canton who attended the exercises were Mr. and .Mrs. Leed and their ^on Ted, Mr. and Mrs.. Myron"* Mohler and the Misses Helen and Theda Rohrer. Mr. Leed was a graduate of North Canton high school . Reckless Drivers Fined Gasless Sundays It is suggested that the United States, or certain sections, may eventually have to be put under a "gasless Sunday" order, as a means of preserving oil. No such thing is likely to occur because of a shortage of oil, but because of a lack of sufficient transportation facilities to carry the oil to many of the factories that will require it for defense work. A gasless Sunday would seem a hardship to innumerable people, for whom that day is the time for high stepping on the motor roads. They might consider that for our grand- 5)arents, every day was a gasless day. And they seemed to ive quite comfortably in those times. When human nature gets used to any pleasure or convenience, it is like pulling a tooth to be deprived of it. Our people would have every day a gasless day, rather than give up to Nazi rule. The Wat And Business It is predicted that the -war and defense situation will interfere more and more with business, owing to the necessity of giving the defense industries the first claim on essential materials. Many factories, it is predicted, will have to close down, owing to the lack of customary materials on which, the defense factories will be given priority. -Yet if the employees of these temporarily closed factories are thrown out of work for a" timfe, there will be a clamor for more help oh defense production. Uncle Sam has aman sized job on his hands to protect himself, in a world that thinks more of bombs ~~thartof justice; and humanity. '""^ '^.UiMiWI*^*^.-*-!'.

Mr. Demuth was supervisor of the rebuilding of the settlement and his speech will be on, the "Indians of this region and the Moravian settlement of Schoenbrunn." The lecture will be open to the public, following the regular dinner meeting of the club. The three new members recently received into the North Canton Rotary club, Bill Peters, Guy Price and Otis Jester were instructed in some of the principles of Rotary at the club meeting Thursday evening. Lee Lewis, the speaker for the evening told the men that Rotary stands for international goodwill and peace and each, member in it worked to elevate his vocation to a higher place than'it was when he entered the club. "Rotary exists not for the good it can do for the Rotarian," he said, "but for the service it can render." The NorEh Canton club, he stated, was a small unit of the international organization that is striving for the goal of service. The three men, selected to rep- ; resent their business classification -. gave brief responses to the talk. Clarence Rohrer presided at the meeting in the absence of Charles Carper, president, who had left for the International Convention at Denver. Mr. Rohrer left later in the week for the convention. Growth of the Rotary organization is well illustrated by the fact that in 1926 when Denver was host to the convention there were 2,396 clubs with a membership of 120,600 ad 85 countries had clubs. Today 'there are 5,044 clubs with a membership over 210,000 and , with clubs in more than 5tt countries. _
