Mornings in "War Time"
It's different these mornings: Had you noticed? At our
house we're up long before daylight and breakfast is over
when the sun sends its first golden rays through the bare
branches of the trees across the road.
It's still very low in the East when John starts to work
and the children shove off to school, leaving me alone to
begin on the day'-s housework. I stand at the window for a
few minutes after the kids have gone, watching them 'til
they turn the corner. Then I realize how strange it is to have
the family gone and the decks cleared like this so early in
the morning.      _,
There's a quality of excitement about early rising. It's
always meant that something special was going to happen.
A journey to be taken, perhaps, or preparation for important
company to be made, or some unusual job to be   done—like
.spring cleaning.
V' Then I remember that mornings in war time are always
special. There's so much to be done—not only by the boys in
camp who must answer to roll call while the stars still show
in the paling* sky, but by the hundreds of thousands of workers in the factories that are building the machines for this
war. And by the rest of us who are doing all the extra things
we can to weld together the strength of our country.
We should be up extra early these days—every one of us.
We started so late to get ready for this war that we need to
use every minute now. Years of work must be done in
months.
So far the war has not gone our way. But we know the
tide will turn when American planes and American ships and
American guns pour out of the factories at the rate possible
.. in-this.industrial Action ?nd that ,then tbe headline?.-.i*n.ti!^
paper will be different. We won't always be on the .defensive,
saving what we can at great cost. Some day we'll be able to
take the offensive with the greatest amount of war material
the war has ever seen!
But until this happens, we must work. From sun up until sun down and then on into the night. The executive at his
desk, the workman at his machine, the "pilot in his plane, and
last, but not least, the housewife in her kitchen. We must
A* build new machines and learn new skills and meet new short-
ages calmly, confidently, with a sense of dedication to the
one great cause.
So, I am glad these war time mornings begin so early
and seem so different. I'm glad that I must be up and at work
before the sun rises. It not only gives me more daylight
hours in which to do the extra things that war has brought
about; the Red Cross training and the salvage work and the
more careful marketing. But, it makes me feel that I am a
part of a great whole—close to the boys in camp in this
country and abroad and to those in that vast arcny of industry that stands behind the ones in uniform!
Treasure Islands
When we were children most of us dreamed of hunting
buried treasure. Today we can make that dream come true.
k We can really have our treasure hunts. For* in every part of
the country men and women are digging for valuable metals,
searching in unlikely places, scouring their homes and their
yards, remembering things they had forgotten and half-forgotten many years ago.
"~ Today our factories need scrap iron, rubber, waste paper,
pieces of copper and other metals. They must have them so
that they can produce more steel, more rubber, more weapons*:
There's no telling where we'll find the scrap they need.
It might be anywhere, for there are treasure islands all
around us. Some people have found valuable "junk" tucked
away and un-remembered in attics, cellars, garages, barns.
Employees in one factory even dug up the ground around
their plant and uncovered 50 tons of metal in odds and ends
that had been thrown away in previous years.
Their action gave some one an idea, and that idea is
spreading. Today throughout America people are organizing
treasure hunts to search for scrap. Treasure hunting has become a game that all of us can play—and must play—to help
America win the war.
Another Kind of Hero
"Don't bother me; I'm too busy."
That's what an employee in one American factory said
to a visitor who wanted to congratulate him on the record
he had made for speedy and accurate work. He was too busy
for praise—too busy helping to turn out the war material
that our country so urgently needs.
Throughout America today' there are plenty of others
like him—men- and women who with their work are helping
the United Nations to make a gallant stand for liberty in
every part of the world. Many of them have perfected new
techniques that^peed up war production. Many others have
developed ways of saving vital materials, ways of using substitutes. Ail of them are giving their knowledge and their
skill to Uncle Sam's main job of winning the war.
They don't often make the front pages, these people. Yet
their work is one of the reasons behind the rapid increase in
industry's output of war materials. Together with the men
who plan our war production arid manage our war plants,
VOL. 19—No*. 19
NARTH CANTON, STAKE COUNTY, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 1942
?1.50.PEBXEAK
Volunteers Must Register if
Defense Work is to Succeed
Chairmen Meet to Outline
Program; Ask for More
Registrations Before Plans
Can Be Made
Unless more North Canton citizens volunteer for duty in the defense activities of the village, the
Civilian defense program cannot be
carried out with any effectiveness.
That is the conclusion reached
by defense leaders and committee
chairmen who met last Thursday
evening at the village hall to outline the duties of the committees
and volunteers.
At the present time there have
not been enough persons volunteer
to fill the most necessary of positions in the program as it has been
outlined by the state and should
disaster strike suddenly at the village it would be totally unprepared
to meet it.
At the meeting Thursday evening the chairmen dgcided to set a
two-day registration period at the
Community building with typists
stationed there to explain the work
to those who volunteer. That date
for registration is to be set in the
near future.
The inadequacy of the program
here might best be explained by the
fact that there are no auxiliary
firemen to aid the regular volunteer fire department in the event of
fire during an emergency; there are
no additional volunteer police officers to aid the regular department
which would be unable to handle
a village-wide disaster without aid;
and although many persors in the
village have been taking first aid
work there is no coordinated unit
to see that the work is carried on
with other emergency activities to
the best advantage.
Many persons in the village may
feel that if, or when an emergency
arrives they will gladly offer their
help where it is needed. But in order to have the greatest amount of
safety it is necessary that the organization be planned before an
emergency arrives. This can be
done only if public minded citizens
realize their responsibility now before it is too late.
For those who are working on
various shifts in factories, the volunteer work will be arranged to
fit their working schedules.
But unless North Canton citizens
realize their own duty in this work,
the leaders in the Civilian Defense
program,will be unable to work out,'
any safety measures for them.
Thirteen Drivers Face
Varied Traffic Charges
Overloading Trucks, Passing

One Hurt Seriously
Four persons were slightly injured in an automobile accident on
Route 8 near North lawn cemetery Saturday evening when the
automobile driven by Jeanne Smith
of North Main St.* collided with
another, driven by R. G. Mosley of
Barberton.
The accident occurred when the
Mosley automobile slowed down
and Miss Smith started to pass
him. Both were traveling south.

the left to turn, causing the collision.
Both automobiles were considerably damaged and the Mosley machine was thrown off the highway.
The driver and his passenger, Miss
Margery Nutter were thrown from
the car but sustained only minor
injuries.
Five other young ladies who
were with Miss Smith at the time
of the accident- were -her sister,
Barbara, June Snyder, Marie Schafer, Norma Daily and Nallie Pas-
toris of Canton. They sustained
minor cuts and bruises and after
two of them were given first aid

Father Marr of Canal Fulton
Places Responsibility of Future Wi&i Youth
"Meet the challenge that civilization is giving to you" was the
theme of the address given by Father Marr of Canal Fulton when
he spoke as the guest of the Girl
Reserves at the high school Friday
afternoon.
Father Marr is of the opinion
that civilization is now facing its
most crucial test, and -what the
"generation of today do now—or do
not do—will determine the direction society will take for centuries
to come.
Whether • society goes into reverse and reverts to feudalism and
peonage or whether mankind will
be enabled to continue to enlighten
the world through the use of science and the other arts depends upon this generation and what they
do now.

All of you, with children in

your sons and daughters come
home from school, discussing the
air raid warning practice they had
that day.
"Air raid," you may question.
"But this is North Canton, and the
battlefields are so _ many miles
away."
Yes, it's true that even here
school officials have received instructions for training children in
self-protection and they are rapidly
learning- the safest -ways to respond
to danger. •  ■   -
1 According to instructions received; .from .national Civilian defense
ieadguarters, the children axe not
allowed to leave the school building under any circumstances except
in the case of fire. And only then
long enough to get to the closest
homes or buildings.

Typewriters Installed
in Community Building
Machine Answers Request
From Y Members
Members of the North Canton
Community building and other residents in the village who make use
of the facilities there will have a
new service offered to them in the
future.
A typ-o-matic metered typewriter has been installed in the north
lobby for the benefit of those who
have asked for a place to. do typing. The machine operates on half-
hour schedules. The keys are unlocked when a dime is inserted in
a slot and can be used for half an
hour, until a clock in the mechan-
isw locks it again.
The typewriter is a new machine
which was invented a year ago and
has been installed in a number of
places throughout the west.
At a given signal, different from' berg, Robert Keith, Lester Kendle,
the fire alarm, the children are being trained to file irofnediately
from their classrooms into the inner hallways, away from all outside walls, doors and windows. Each
class has a specified place to stay
during the alarm and captains
have been appointed in the groups
to aid ih any duty that is necessary.
Fire -guards have been appointed
and will'be instructed in the use of
fire equipment at the school building so that they too may stand
ready to;do their duty to the best
advantage should the need arise.
Those "guards who have been appointed include Robert Allen, Robert Berger, Harold and Howard

group are Victor Uhrich, Paul
Schwaliie, Carl Halter, Tom Bierly
and Richard Werstler.
In the hands of these students
lies the responsibility of seeing
that there is safety for the other
children in the event of fire. Teachers in the building will supervise
their work. Only in the event that
fire should break out in the building during an air raid and cannot
be extinguished, the children, under
the guidance of the teachers and
the guards will proceed at once to
the'nearest homes.

Dr. M, E. Beck Gives
Three Keys of Success
The qualities necessary for success in life were discussed by Dr.
Melvin E. Beck of North Canton as
he addressed the high school student body Monday morning.
Dr. Beck, in his . usual simple,
straight-forward manner, presented what he believes are the absolute essentials of successful living:
health, culture, and character.
In speaking of health, he declared, "If your health is gone, your
life story is pretty well told." He
exhorted the students to keep physically fit, to guard against un-
healthful foods and drinks, and
cautioned them not to burn the
candle at both ends.
Illustrating his points with ■well-
known modern and historical characters, Dr. Beck fully portrayed
the importance in life of good,
clean living.
In speaking of culture and character, Dr. Beck pointed out that a
strong, healthy body is little mpre
than an animal without them. He
revealed that nothing develops
character and culture so much, as
having Christ in one's life. He .advised, "To follow the life of Christ
through the trials of the Lenten
period is the best means of developing one's self for successful' living,"
