Why Our Government Lasts SfflS'^-SS^SJhS
The recurrence on September 17 of the anniversary of the   this :far
completion of the United States constitution, calls attention
to the wonderful record of stability made by our government.
This is a world in which there have been many revolutions.
Many governments have been overturned by force and violence.
In many of them, if some element became dissatisfied with
the result of an election, or with the policies of the government, it might march on the capital and seize the reins of
power. The fact that nothing of that sort ever happened in
the United States, is a wonderful tribute to the spirit and
self-restraint of our people.
The covered football grandstand,
contracted of steel obtained from
the old Mid-Atlantic League stands
that stood at Summit Beach Park,
in Akron, is , nearly complete.
Wooden seats have been installed
in two sections, with only one section remaining- to be finished in the
2,500 seat capacity stadium.
Underneath the structure, dressing rooms, an office, a concession
stand and storage rooms are being
built. The stands are located on the
west side of the field and, if necessary, a similiar grandstand
could be built on the east side.
The lighting system at the stadium, incidentally, is regarded as
one of the three best in the state,
the others being Cleveland Stadium and Crosley Field, in Cincinnati.
The baseball diamond, including
Defense of the Americas
W^ The proposals for defense of the American continent as
accepted by the Inter-American conference held in Brazil,
show that a high degree of unity has been attained by the
nations of the American continent on this question.
Under these agreements, and when they go into effect", an
armed attack against any American nation will be considered |an excellent drainage system which

obligation to aid m facing such attack. If any power across I surface details. A 1,000 seat grand-
the oceans should ever attack our continent, it can feel sure I stand has been erected 5n such
that all these countries would unite in defense against such ga manner that its capacity could
aggression.
The nations of our continent are all gaining in industrial
development, and many of them would be able to give important aid in case of an attack from overseas,. Tt is a very
hopeful development that these nations show such unity on
this question of defense.
Over 5,000 Fans  Witness First Game of Season  Under Lights at Memorial Stadium

The district playoff of the Ohio
American Baseball Congress recently was played on the diamond
and was highly.praised by recreation officials as well as the team
members.
A 50-foot long memorial gate
also, (will- be constructed of stone
at the very center- of the plant at
the north  end  of Pershing street.

each side of the gate and a bronze

of discontent and-upheaval would have been greatly strengthened. Eevolutionary uprisings aimed to establish freedom
.flight have occurred.
Free discussion gives dissatisfied people a chance to vent
their unhappiness. If they have real grievances, and particularly if many people are thus affected, they can usually get
something done to have those grievances redressed.
If this free discussion could have prevailed all over the
world, it seems unlikely that World War II world ever have
occurred'. Newspapers, many publications, and radio broadcasts would have been filled with protests against warlike
policies.
• People everywhere would have been likely to demand policies that avoided the danger of war. It would have helped if
people everywhere had been permitted to listen to foreign
broadcasts, which would have corrected many misapprehensions existing in certain countries.
People have been incited in some countries to support
governments which planned for and started an aggressive
war. This popular support was obtained largely by misleading propaganda. The people were given distorted views, and
were led to feel that nations could gain by warlike policies,
and a willingness to fight for such gains.
If such propaganda could have been exposed and shown
up in its true light by free discussion, it is unlikely that the
people of any country could have been persuaded to support
a war of aggression.
^Training And Education
What is it we need most in life—training or education?
We must have both training and education. The words are
not synonomous. Nor is one alone enough.' Wherever training
has been substituted for education, as in Communist Russia,
Nazi Germany and Militaristic Japan, the world has been
given robot men as' deadly as the robot bombs and as bent on
destruction.    ' -
Education means "to lead out". It involves a widening of
vision and a deepening of thought. It is creative and constructive. You can train an animal but you can educate only
a man.
Training has its-uses-in making customs become automatic
habits. Just as the dictators.train for cruelty—so we can and
have trained our citizens to observe the rights and well'being
of others. Of course, there are exceptions—but they stand
out because they are exceptions, not the. rule.
Our homes should-be the training ground for good manners and cleanliness, for right living and right thinking. We
can train ourselves in all the qualities" we most admire in
others. We can make a habit "of being pundtual, courteous
and considerate'. We can train ourselves into the habits of
perseverence and concentration. :
On the basis of sueh training we are ready for education.
'Education is not merely book learning. It is, understanding.
It is the use of the trained mind- to learn, from people and
circumstances" as' Well as from'books. It is the opening of new
doors of thought, through which appear the vistas of our
deepest ideals, our truest dreams. It requires steadfastness,
perseverence, concentration to become educated. But those
,     who are truly educated find new pathways opening out before
\    thtem, new ways in which they may* progress to a better way
|    of life. The untrained are the first to-be laid off. The un-
^   educated never rise.above themselves.
||j. # We need both training and education. Only as all our cit-
il izens have both -and utilize both in their highest sense, can
s|# w.e Progress as' a people and, as a nation can we prove that
if* l^-oeracy where all men are free to'earn, is, the .way-out from
to;pthe~mdf*as^oflp[orance whiehTstifles as" if enclaves." ":  v

country side, to enable them to
stretch the funds with which they
were entrusted to the utmost, and
they are to be thanked and compli-r

Waldo (Red) Streby who was in
charge of the vast construction job,
drew all the blue prints and made
all the cContacts so that the Stadium might become a reality.
Bill Hoag, chairman of the Jaycees drive to raise enough funds
to complete the job, stated, they
were coming to the people of North
Canton and vicinity for funds to-
put the final touches on our Memorial Stadium, which is dedicated
to those who served in the armed

Little Rita Blubaugh, 2S month
old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph L. Blubaugh Jr., is safe now in
her parent's arms after a three-
hour search for her Friday, when
she wandered away from home, became tired and lay down for a nap,
to rest.
Canvassing the neighborhood after Rita failed to return home at
lunch time, her parents enlisted
the help of Marshall R. A. Smith,
when they were unable to locate
her. Clair Studer, vice president of
the board of education and a neighbor of the Blubaughs, when called
in, started to organize the hitherto haphazard search of the neighbor's. High school boys were sent
for, to help tramp through the
fields in the area and to ring doorbells in a house-to-house canvass.
The radio station W-.C.M.W. was
called and they, made several
broadcasts -beginning about one
o'clock. The search then began' in
earnest as neighbors and fellow
townspeople laid • down whatever,
task they were doing and joined in
the search. .... - .._. . . . _ .
Andrew Marks, a neighbor of the

Blubaughs arrived home about
1:30 p. m., an engineer at the
Hoover Company, he is also an instructor at the McKinley Airport
and has his own plane there.
He came home from the airport
and finding the neighborhood in a
turmoil, offered to get his plane
and use it in the hunt for the child.
Returning to the airport, he and
George Swayze, airport manager,
took off'at 3:25 p. m. in a plane
with Mr. Sw.aj'ze at the controls.
They spotted the child immediately. 'She was asleep in the high
weeds. After making eight or nine
passes to direct the searchers,
they returned to the field. ' The
■whole flight lasted exactly 14 minutes. When the searchers reached
Rita, she had awakened, probably
from the roar of the plane.
Unharmed except for a few
scratches and sunburned face and
legs,  Rita wasn't frightened.
Mr. and Mrs". Blubaugh have nothing but* praise for the people who
aided -in the search, it was remarkable they said, how even.-strarigers
volunteered to aid in the search for <
the missing child.
