VOL. 23—No. 25 NORTH CANTON, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9,-1947 $2.00 A YEAR 7 Mark Rubright and Members of Student Congress Mark Rubright, chairman of the House ways and means committee and Harold Duryee a member of the senate presided at the afternoon session of the senate on Saturday. Representing North Canton the two boys were among the 200 delegates attending the National Forensic League student congress which convened at Leh Can Democracy Be Taught? Can democracy be taught? Are there certain American principles so common to us all that everyone can undersand them and believe in them in the same way? Can these principles be applied in the everyday life to the advancement ot Unity among Americans of every race, creed, and national origin? It would seem so. For today 3500 public and religious schools over the country are using the Institute for American Democracy's two-color pro-democratic posters for teaching the principles of Americanism. Can democracy be taught.' "Under teacher guidance and with full pupil participation w, each home room, we feel certain that the lessons so splendidly shown on each of the posters will make it much easier for the students to understand and appreciate the real meaning of democracy, and that-they will materially assist m the elimination of bigotry, intolerance and .misunderstanding from the minds and hearts of American youth, —a high school principal in New York. "We have been grateful for the posters because they say "' so eloquently many of the things our school wishes to say to its students."—a Protestant school in New Mexico. "The posters seem to be making better citizens of the students, Even the class distinction in members of the class is gradually disappearing."—a school-teacher in Nebraska. "These posters have aided me in stimulating interest in learning more about our democracy, and as a means of motivation are excellent tools."—a high school teacher m New Hampshire. , "The students have received the posters with enthusiasm. Because they studied -the. pictures and read the messages the boys" and girls have been stirred by a new interest. They have arrived at the conclusion that prejudice and intolerance are unreasonable, unchristian, and un-American." — a Catholic ^chool in New York. ^ "In our units on 'Citizenship', we lay stress upon tolerance in racial and religious matters and these posters add xo the effectiveness of the instruction. Students have said that it makes them more aware "of the difficulties and problems of the minority groups, and they tend to react in a more kindly and TrS)artial manner to their f ellowmen." - a high school teacher in Utah. "The student council are using the posters to illustrate the promotion of democracy within our school These posters are serving our purposes well."—a high school principal in Ohio. "The statement that the posters state about all people should be treated alike'is right. And I agree. Some people do not practice democracy enough and they should be encouraged! some way and these pictures are a very good way. '—a grade school pupil in North Dakota. Can ■democracy be taught? It certainly can! Time for Decision There was a time when it was commonly denied that democracy could be defined or that people generally could know and agree about its basic principls. That denial has caused a Jot of confusion and, to no small degree, has been responsible lltor the spread of un-American and un-democratic ideas among us. For, if we do not know what democracy is, how can we distinguish it from communism and fascism? But the time of confusion is'passing and Americans are now speaking with conviction about our way of life. ' Addressing the Congress of the United States the other day, President Truman drew a sharp distinction between democratic and totalitarian societies., Majority rule, free institutions, representative government, free elections, guarantees of individual liberty, freedom of speech and religion, freedom from political oppression—these, he affirmed, are characteristic of democracy. We must agree on that; There is hope for all in a system based on such principles.^ Minority rule forcibly imposed upon the majority, Oppression, controlled press and radio, fixed elections, suppression of individual liberty—these, the President declared, are characteristic of totalitarianism of both the right and the left. We must all recognize that. There is no hope for anybody m a system resting on such principles. Two days later in'Moscow Secretary of State MarshaUre- tnrned to this theme. Americans, he said, believe that all human beings have certain inalienable rights which may not *bH??en or taken away." W6 believe, he continued, in "the vio-bt of every individual to develop his mind and his soul free df f ear and coercion—provided drily that he does not interfere with the rights of others." ( ... Americans who acknowledge these democratic principles can build a strong country in which men of every class, race, religion, and national origin will be free. The people who will riot acknowledge these principles as democratic will find themselves in-one-or- the other of the totalitarian camps — in some cases .stirring up class hatred, in others racial and religious hatred always with the intention of ultimately depriving the members of some group of their rights and freedom. The lines are sharply drawn. We must make up our minds. It is either democracy and freedom for all—or.totalitarianism, and slavery for -all, , man High School starting Thursday afternoon. Main business was the presentation of gavels to the two best j speakers from the floor of each chamber during the congress and to the best presiding officer of each body.

Twenty-four Hoover Employees Win $885 i For Suggestions Suggestions made by twenty- four Hoover employees has brought home the bacon to the tune of $885, with top awards going to Roy Whitlow, of Motor Department to the tune of $395 and $130 to Joseph U. Dick, of Assembly. The suggestion which won $395 for Whitlow was the substitution of rivets for the screws used to attach the lower bearing assembly of cleaner motors into the motor housing. The change not only saved time in assembly but also improves construction of the affected parts. A reduction in the amount of scrap of a coil spool earned $130 for Dick. The saving was accomplished by the countersinking of certain holes in the spoo?5 which are used on both Model 28 and 61 Hoover Cleaners. Two awards of $65 each were made, one going to E. P. Myers of Automatics, and the other to A. E. Selman of the Canadian organization. Myer's suggestion involved the use of a new holder and tool for an automatic screw v machine to turn out fhe screws used in attaching the cleaner bag at the lower end. The new tool materially re duces the time required for fabric ating the screws and improves their appearance. Mvers was also awarded $5 for another suggestion. Selman won his award for the suggested v.se of a softer material in motor hoods making possible the elimination of the rivets or screws used for attaching air cones. A fifth major award winder, J. H. Ebie, of Assembly, submitted a fixture for use on brush machines which improved the method of attaching bristles. He was awarded $50 for his idea.

Twenty-four Hoover Employees Win $885 i For Suggestions Suggestions made by twenty- four Hoover employees has brought home the bacon to the tune of $885, with top awards going to Roy Whitlow, of Motor Department to the tune of $395 and $130 to Joseph U. Dick, of Assembly. The suggestion which won $395 for Whitlow was the substitution of rivets for the screws used to attach the lower bearing assembly of cleaner motors into the motor housing. The change not only saved time in assembly but also improves construction of the affected parts. A reduction in the amount of scrap of a coil spool earned $130 for Dick. The saving was accomplished by the countersinking of certain holes in the spoo?5 which are used on both Model 28 and 61 Hoover Cleaners. Two awards of $65 each were made, one going to E. P. Myers of Automatics, and the other to A. E. Selman of the Canadian organization.
