Tlfee Miles Grow Long Again - The last new car has come off the assembly lines until the war is over. New tires are not, to be had, except in unusual circumstances, and the miles suddenly grow long again! For many years now, each season has made the county, the state, the nation, a smaller place as cars wepe improved and new roads constructed. "V^e've shopped regularly in towns that were a long- day's journ'ey away in our grandmother's time and a neighbor has been anyone within twenty miles. We've driven to the next state for Sunday dinner and covered half the continent on our vacations. Now, almost over night, there are fewer automobiles on the highways. An out-of-the-state license plate begins to become a curiosity and we ourselves think twice about the 12 mile drive over to the county seat. The local grocery store is painting its old delivery wagon, they say, and two of the neighbor's boys are going to the high school, two miles away, - on their bicycles. But it's not only the actual physical changes in our ev- A ery day living* that I've noticed. There's a new feeling in the ™ very air, with the automobile something to use only when necessary and then, carefully, at abbut 40 miles an hour instead of an impudent 60! We're beginning to settle down and look around us; to dig in. as it were, and discover near-by friends and stores and entertainment. We're ' beginning to think again about the beginnings of this country and why it was our great-grandparents were willing to endure the hardships of pioneer life. Bill, who is 14, can for the first time in his life understand what the world might have been like 50 years ago before the railroad came through this part of the country. And Jrady, whose boy friend can no longer take her to dances 30 miles away, is beginning to get some place with her knitting. It may be a little difficult to adjust ourselves to a wartime world in which there's a limit on cars, tires, ar-.*l per- - hap* un gasoihi*e. Tae&fc>\hing{$Ti]-/ve-Deeomt' to us Americans almost as common as air and water and just about as necessary. A while back we wouldn't have thought we could possibly get along without them. Now we know we can—for the sake of Victory. In fact, we could get along with a horse and buggy and the railroad to take us on long journeys. So let's not complain but make the most of this time of enforced slowing down. Let's enjoy our homes and be friends with the # people down the street. Let's find fun and new health in ' "walking and horseback riding and bicycling. And let's get better acquainted with our children. When the war is over and the automotive industry can turn from war work to passenger vehicles once more, we'll have better cars than ever—because new things about motors and streamlining are being discovered every week. We'll have thousands more planes, too; some say "flivver" planes for regular family use and all say transports for freight, as well as passengers. This is the land of mass production, you know—the country where Industry can provide enough of things to go all the way round so that the workman, as well as the executive and professional man, can drive to work in his own automobile. And where the future is always more abundant than the past! St. Paul's Catholic church will be treasure hunt, but the treasure they are to find is not the sort of prize one might suppose. With priorities jumping rapidly from one field to another, there has become a shortage in small containers for oil. No more will Street Commissioner Harrison Cline be able to buy oil for village machinery and trucks by the quart or gal- Ion. Hereafter all purchases must be made by the drum. And that is wheie the treasure hunt comes into the picture. There doesn't seem to be any place to stoie more than one or two drums of oil, and there are several grades required for the various units of the village equipment. After making several futile suggestions _ at council meeting Monday evening, the councilmen decided to start looking for any available storage space themselves. Should any of these men suddenly appear from an unexpected place during the next week or so, looking thoroughly disheveled and dirty, chances aie they have been lookiiiQ in some out of the way place for room to keep a drum of oil—and perhaps have found it. Furthermore, they would like their fellow- citizens to know that they are not trying to hoard anything at all. This is just a matter of necessity, nothing more or less. o changed, starting next Sunday merging, in order to accommodate defense workers on the various shifts.

So near had defeat come to the capital of the nation. Then he rose and went to meet his rebellious cabinet, to stand firm ag-ainst those, who cautioned i compromise. He was resolved to fight to the end for a united nation. Washington .walked alone in the snow at Valley Forge— snow stained scarlet by the bleeding feet of his humble .followers. His army was starving. His forces grew steadily smaller as the toll of those who could not face defeat grew larger. Congress argued, blamed, and did nothing. He was without money and almost without friends. Defeat was imminent—but he prayed for guidance, tightened his belt, in- , creased the discipline both on himself and his men and went ahead to win. Down upon Cherry Valley swooped the Indians in a frightful massacre which devastated that peaceful community and destroyed in a night the laborious work of years in carving homes out of the wilderness. But scarcely "had the marauders left, and while the ashes of their homes were still red, those settlers who survived, crept out of their hiding places and went back to rebuild their homes and till their fields again. Earlier still, in that dread winter three hundred and twenty years ago, pestilence broke out in the little colony of Plymouth. Two-thirds qf the colonists perished—but when the spring came, over the leveled graves of their dead the remaining men,and, women sowed maize, that none might know /^ how great was their loss. Then they went on about their '"^■j business .of living, determined to remain free to worship God according to the dictates .of their conscience. \ To the man of faith, defeat is but a challenge to carry on. It is a hurdle in his path to be taken in stride. It is not the end of the road. We must face the fact that all news cannot be good news. That all men cannot be perfect. We must have brave and enduring hearts in. our hours of trouble. We must know that only the last battle determines the victory, and we. must battle through to the end, wihout stopping- to allocate blame. Only as we.put defeat behind us, can we go forward to victory.-- . ,,„__.. . . . _..- - highest rating awarded a trip to, throughout the year are urged-to jiT-vshintrton. D.

Red Cross Has Annual Membership Drive Here made to those working on the committee as there is no central place in the village where they may be turned in. The drive for memberships started late last week and will continue until Saturday of this week. Solicitors Call From Door to Door for Contributions; Campaign to End Saturday North Canton citizens are responding generously to the annual Red Cross roll call that is being conducted throughout the village this week, according to the reports given by the workers who are making the solicitations. This roll call is in addition to the war relief fund .which has been collected since the beginning of the war in December. Membership contributions for ore dollar or more are being taken in door to door' solicitations, with more than twenty workers making the collections. Mrs. William Leed and Miss Harriet Gibler are co-chairmen of the drive. Although no definite goal has been set, North Canton contributions will be kept separate from Canton funds' until the drive 5s completed. Tliose workirg on the drive urge all those "who haye not yet been so- licted to give to the Red Cross. The need for help this year, in ad-. diticn to the war work, is just as great, if not greater than in pre-' viqus.years. Contributions, """oust- be Traffic Arrests Light for Week Arrested twice within a few days on the same charge, Clarence Gardner cf Gieentown was heavily fined in mayor's court for driving while under the influence of liquor.

Arrests for traffic violations were light with Achilles Maikis of Canton stopped by village officers, Ralph Harding of Cleveland arrested by state patrolmen and James T. Parks reported by deputy sheriffs. A highly appreciative and interested audience, composed of representatives of the North Canton Women's clubs, Canton Junior Sor- osis and other guests, heard the talk given by Miss Isabel Giraldo, Pan American student at the tea given in her honor Saturday afternoon by the North Canton Junior Woman's club. Miss Giraldo told of some of the customs and practices in her native land, Colombia. Dressed attractively in a bright red suit which set off her dark coloring, she was a true representative of the friendship which the United States is cultivating with her country and its neighbors. Following her talk and several musical numbers by the Junior Sor- osis Glee club, tea was served in the social rooms of the Community Christian church where the meeting was held. The tea tables were decorated with red carnations and red, white and blue candles. Miss Lois Sinclair, Mrs. Robert Kreighbaum, ! Miss Iris Hershberger and Miss Ruth Killgrove presided at the tables.

At this time the men will decide on the duties of * each committee. and make their plans to work out a smoothly coordinating defense pro-gram for the entire community* in the event of any disaster. All those who have volunteered their services in the work are ^ to be divided into the various committees at a.later meeting and will start any necessary training for their duties. Registrations are still being taken at the village hall for the work. Howard Zengler is geti-' eral chairman of the Civilian- Defense program. Civilian defense programs, as. they are being outlined throughout the state include a number of units, each of which have a specific duty. There is a Red Cross unit which requires training in helping wounded persons, a volunteer fire' unit in addition to the regular department; additional police protection, a bomb removal squad, a demolition squad, agricultural unit, transportation unit and various others, all planned to aid the people of the community in every way necessary for their own safety. Many Ohio communities have already completed their Civilian defense organization while others are just starting the task. All persons interested in the welfare of those in their own community are asked to volunteer their services where they are needed. Only by planning for disaster before it can come arid being prepared for it, will a program for aid be effective. Those'-in charge of the work stress the fact that individuals must volunteer now and not wait until it is • too late before they realize they ate needed.
