Town Meeting Vs. Pressure Groups The fundamental weakness of Democracy is its vulnerability to pressure groups, demanding- special concessions or special protection for their own interests. Time and ag-ain we have seen the devastating effect of these groups upon our political and economic structure, for pressure groups breed intolerance both from without and within. , What we need are fewer pressure groups and more town meetings. It is hard for a pressure group to thrive in its own community, if discussion is open. There is nothing so tongue- tieing as the steady stare of those who know you. And there is nothingihore deflating to the ego than the common sense barb in a neighbor's homely phrase. In a democracy no one class or group should ever aim to be ^n control for the American form of government was designed to do away with class. The best defense of America is a strong, educated, informed citizenry. And the best way to. keep them informed is, through the town meeting. The town meeting gives the opportunity for men and w^omen to heat* authoritative settements, to .join in open discussion. , This is an American way of life, as oppose^ to the pressure group which is the personification of gang rule. This is. the way to unity, not to rifts within the house of the nation. The Government may be the pilot, but it is the people who run the ship. The town meeting is the ideal of democracy for in it the people can talk wit their many problems, with all sides presented so that men may make their own conclusions and learn something of their neighbor's views. If men are free to talk, they can more clearly crystallize their own thoughts. They can learn to see their case as others see it and there is time for compromise and change before the heat of combat. A true democracy is an expression of identity of interests of all the people. The ideal of a democracy is net people merely, tolerant of-one another, but of pebpler working" together without regard to class, race, creed or color. To keep this ideal before the people there is no better way than the town meeting. This is the American way. ir The Thrill of the Flag The date June 14 will always be a landmark in the life of the United States, as on that day in the year 1777 the present design of the flag was adopted, except that as new states have been admitted to the Union, one star has been added for each new state. ' The adoption of a flag for the country was a recognition that the 13 original colonies, which originally were largely independent settlements, realized that they had become one country, and that they had to stand together. The flag may be considered a symbol of the affection vyhich our people feel for the land where they live. A very powerful factor in developing that aifection is found in the realization that our country is a land of opportunity that it offers education to all, and that it gives the people the free chance to. develop their own lives. If people were living in some remote foreign country where their lives were subject to some perils and dangers, the sight of that flag would be a wonderful assurance. They would know that their country stood back of them, and would do its utmost to protect them, and that its arm would reach out over vast spaces to defend them. t^ The sight of ths flag is a thrilling thing to those who are Ptraveling of living in foreign lands. It is a reminder of a homeland that is very dear to them. The hearts of many, as they see that flag, are stirred by the desire to get back to the land over which it waves. In our home life the sight of the flag should be a thrilling one. It is a reminder of what we owe to. the country, and of what it has dohe for us. The people should be stirred by the sight of its waving folds to cooperate as best they can to keep the country true to its high ideals. Fire's Toll Among Children Speaking over a recent radio broadcast sponsored by the National Board of Fire Underwriters, Mrs. Ruth Bryan Rohde, daughter of the late William Jennings Bryan, told of the terrible toll fire takes among the children of the 'country. In 1944, said Mrs. Rohde, 6,000 children under five years of age died in home accidents—and burns accounted for 2,000 of their number. In 1945, 7,500 children seriously crippled from burns were being cared for by state agencies. The ^number of similar victims in private homes is not known, J-tbut must be far greater. "These children died or were crippled needlessly," added Mrs. Rohde. "These tragedies in most instances were due to adult carelessness or negligence. Let us not wait until tragedy has brought the full force of this to us. Let us begin a campaign of prevention at once." It is not the children who make the mistakes of omission and commission that are responsible for most fires. It is not the children who are inexcusably indifferent to the danger. It is, instead, parents who fail to take the simple precautions that will prevent the great majority of fires—and the communities which lack adequate fire safety laws. "' The ghastly .toll will continue to grow—until every adult in the country joins in the campaign to .conquer fire.

Intricate Carvings By Albert Gloor On Display At Little Art Gallery Typical examples of Mr. Gloor's work are on display afa>vH&*rm\ Little Art Gallery of the North Canton Library. Fine jigsaw wox'k as filled with creative expression and soul satisfying accomplishment as embroidery or knitting is to a woman. But just as in needlework there are ff-" ' " few besides the artisan who appre- f ■ ciate the painstaking work even some of the small- pieces involve. Mr. Gloor, a Swiss gardner, j learned ' the art when he was a small boy in Zurich, Switzerland, , taking th*? training as a part of his '-regular school work. Much of his early enthusiasm was acquired from his father, who also had wood-working as a hobby. One of his cherished possessions in his honie on the W. W. Steele estate is a handsome wall clock on which he and his father worked. Operating a jigsaw entirely by hand utilizing blades of almost hairlike thinness, he cuts intricate designs of birds, flowers, leaves and vines from quarter-inch plywood onto which he has transferred a pattern with tracing paper. Both the patterns and the saw- blades are sent to him from Switzerland by his brother, who is a photographer. ; Once the pieces are cut, they are 1 joined together by glue or tiny , hinges to fashion boxes, baskets, scrapbooks or other decorative ■ pieces. I Since Mr. Gloor works at wood- carving only as a hobby while he listens to .the radio or talks to friends, completipn of the piece.s takes much longer than it otherwise would. A scrapboolc cover, such as the one he is making in the photography , requires about' 40 hours of work that is so detailed, he cannot work on it for more than an hour at a time. Baskets such as the one pictured,* -require about six months of actual work thought-he spent two, .yeaVs completing- -this one. 7 Albert Gloor . .-'7 And His Handwork

Intricate Carvings By Albert Gloor On Display At Little Art Gallery Typical examples of Mr. Gloor's work are on display afa>vH&*rm\ Little Art Gallery of the North Canton Library. Fine jigsaw wox'k as filled with creative expression and soul satisfying accomplishment as embroidery or knitting is to a woman. But just as in needlework there are ff-" ' " few besides the artisan who appre- f ■ ciate the painstaking work even some of the small- pieces involve. Mr. Gloor, a Swiss gardner, j learned ' the art when he was a small boy in Zurich, Switzerland, , taking th*? training as a part of his '-regular school work. Much of his early enthusiasm was acquired from his father, who also had wood-working as a hobby. One of his cherished possessions in his honie on the W. W. Steele estate is a handsome wall clock on which he and his father worked. Operating a jigsaw entirely by hand utilizing blades of almost hairlike thinness, he cuts intricate designs of birds, flowers, leaves and vines from quarter-inch plywood onto which he has transferred a pattern with tracing paper. Both the patterns and the saw- blades are sent to him from Switzerland by his brother, who is a photographer. ; Once the pieces are cut, they are 1 joined together by glue or tiny , hinges to fashion boxes, baskets, scrapbooks or other decorative ■ pieces. I Since Mr. Gloor works at wood- carving only as a hobby while he listens to .the radio or talks to friends, completipn of the piece.s takes much longer than it otherwise would. A scrapboolc cover, such as the one he is making in the photography , requires about' 40 hours of work that is so detailed, he cannot work on it for more than an hour at a time. Baskets such as the one pictured,* -require about six months of actual work thought-he spent two, .yeaVs completing- -this one. 7 Albert Gloor . .-'7 And His Handwork |
