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 School Bus, Insufficient Lights Cause Arrests An increase in the number of traffic violators brought additional rush in the mayor's court during; the past week as police officers brought thirteen cases in to be settled. "Violations ranged from overloaded trucks to driving while under the influence of liquor. Floyd Evans of Canton pled guilty and was fined on charges of intoxication after his arrest by local police officers, who also arrested Robert Fred Yoak of Akron, Daniel Milner of Canton and Archibald Alexander of Akron for other traffic violations. State patrolmen arrested Paul Beamei- and Eterry Sheets, both of Canton, for overloading their trucks and Ernest Andrews Eggert of Canton for driving with no tail light. Wayne E. Smith was fined for having improper plates an:' Robert Lionel Tice for reckless driving. William Washkowitz of Canton was stopped by deputy sheriffs for passing a school bus and Ray' Thomas Daily of R. D. 7, Ernest Adolph Matti of Alliance and Edward P.

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 first car then swung over to 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 at the hospital, they were all released. 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.

An Open Letter to North Canton Parents Dear Parents: Today, with America engaged in armed combat with enemies who stop at no atrocity, you undoubtedly have paused at many an odd moment and wondered if you and your neighbors and friends were getting prepared for anything -which might possibly come your way. When your older sons marched Court ' ository REV. HOWARD F. YEAGER Rev. Howard F. Yeager, pastor of Zion Lutheran church who took up his ministry here on February 15. Rev. Yeager, a graduate of Capitol university in the. class -of 1941, succeeds Rev. Norman Emch who was called to active duty as chaplain-in the" army last spring. He was;'located in New York before coming i to North Canton^ < your off to camp you waved them a dry- eyed goodbye, knowing that they went in response to their call to duty. But as their train pulled out and you knew deep in your heait ' that they would in future days face , a danger which you could only dimly surmise, did you question, somehow, whether or not tbe folks at home would be as prepared as they to meet the dangers of the coming months. And now, with your own civilian defense work getting underway in your community, with your own duties and responsibilities to look after, are you wondering how your smaller sons ahd daughters are going to face-any possible --danger which may come to-them? s5?h*;A*.^-i3---yss-y 'Aife^kfl All of you, with children in North Canton schools, have heard 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.

All those who have any metal of any sort, other than tin cans,- in their basements or attics are asked to place it along the curb where the truck crew can pick it up. Families living out of town who wish to contribute to the drive ' should call 9464 and leave their name and address and the metal will be called for. " - Legionaires and Scouts will meet at the village hall at 8 o'clock and start out immediately in order thai they may cover the whole district in one day. If this is not possible the drive will be extended. The money received from the drive will be turned over to tbe Civilian Defense council to be used for buying local defense equipment and supplies. Harrison Cline jis. chairman of the drive, with Ed Gross, post commander, assisting committeeman. Metals from old furniture, old machinery and any other unused- articles will be a valuable contribution to the drive which is one of many being conducted throughout the United States to provide tlj.e steel mills with greatly needed, scrap material. O : Local Legion Post Buys Defense Bond Joint Meeting With Auxiliary Planned for Birthday The North Canton American Le-- gion post has purchased a $409 bond as one of their contributions' to the national defense effort.

The Legion has purchased 12 flags which will be on display on the village square on all holidays and special occasions. o 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 BoesharC.D.ale Broeske, David Frye, Joe-Kintz, Bill Miller, Carl Peterson,* • • • Engene Swearengin/ Carl Lindenberger, Robert McDowell, Clarence Miller, Ralph Ober, Robert Oberlin, Dale Rudersmith, James Schwaliie, Harold Shaw, Paul Spitler, Dick Stover and Louis Saunders. The captains of the 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. (Continued on-Page Two) 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,"

(Continued on-Page Two) 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," |
