These prejudices, based on misrepresentation and ignorance, were directed against Catholics, Jews, Protestants, and Negroes depending upon the particular line of individual propagandists. And it is precisely gainst' these groups that 50 per cent of our people now entertain a bias. Fascists attempt to build their following by inciting prejudice against some racial, or religious group. With 50 per cent of the population already prejudiced to some extent they have potential allies already at hand. They could become actual allies under the leadership of one of our native demagogues if circumstances should arise which would make people generally unhappy enough to demand a scapegoat to blame for their troubles.

Starting at two o'clock, many friends began to gather to show their appreciation o f the thought the founder had when he had donated the building for the use of all in North Canton, and vicinity. As Mr. William Hoover said when he was interviewed over the radio hook-up at S p. m., "His grandfather," he stated, "had felt the need of a -place for the many organizations to call home-base and that had been the birth of the idea. At the time of the dedication of the building 25 years ago some 19 organizations made the Building their headquarters, and today that number has grown to over 80. During the past 23 years the building," he. further stated, "has been under the able direction of Mr. C. B. Williams, with the aid of his board of directors he has done an outstanding job." Mr. Hoover went on to say that the Building had been made flexible in as,much as it had been ada- pable to the changing requirements of the passing years.. North.. Can.-. ton's first library used the room which is now known as the 'Woman's Club room.' Mayor Guy Price.while,speaking over the air stated that the building played a great part m keeping down juvenile delinquericev here in North Canton. Carl Sponseller, who is now vice president of the board of directors, spoke of being present at the dedication services 25 years ago and having watched with ■ interest the growth of the building since that time. C. B. Williams whom everyone knows, and who had been the. executive secretary of the -Building for some 23 years and better, said that the turn out Sunday was heart warming and showed the community spirit present in North Canton. He wanted to thank all the committees and their assistants who helped make the anniversary celebration such a success. He stated that the Community Building had nine employees to keep it running at peak efficiency. His staff at the present time is composed, of Mike Wadell in charge of Physical administration; Bill Blank, ble inasmuch as it had been adaptable to the changing requirements Helen King, girls' direct- lona Geckler. the office sec- R.

HOWES s Fund- Campaign pseii JMpnday, Riareli First w^wv Goal of the annual Red Cross fund'campaign which opens March 1 will be $85,000, it was announced by Robert E. O'Brien, campaign chairman, (Nationally, the American people will be asked to subscribe $75,000,000, to carry on its far- reaching program for the fiscal year 1948-49. Actually, a budget of $9.7,000,000, will be required for *the> combined service programs of the-national organization and its 3J751. chapters during 1D48-49, but application of approximately $22,- 000,000, from uncommitteed surplus makes it possible to hold the campaign objective to $75,000,000. While the Red Cross will be able to reduce general operating costs in some activities next year, the organization is faced with increasing demands in other Red Cross endeavors. There are approximately 18,000,000 veterans, a substantial number of whom require the services and assistance' of the Red Cross. Disaster relief provides another example. Red Cross must be prepared for all catastrophes.. During 1947 approximately $1*1,090,- 000 was allocated for disaster aid to over 300,Q00-p2rsons,_,-Thig -de pleted the national disaster reserve fund, which must be replenished.'

Starting at two o'clock, many friends began to gather to
show their appreciation o f the
thought the founder had when he
had donated the building for the
use of all in North Canton, and vicinity. As Mr. William Hoover said
when he was interviewed over the
radio hook-up at S p. m., "His
grandfather," he stated, "had felt
the need of a -place for the many organizations to call home-base and
that had been the birth of the idea.
At the time of the dedication of
the building 25 years ago some 19
organizations made the Building
their headquarters, and today that
number has grown to over 80. During the past 23 years the building,"
he. further stated, "has been under
the able direction of Mr. C. B. Williams, with the aid of his board of
directors he has done an outstanding job."
Mr. Hoover went on to say that
the Building had been made flexible in as,much as it had been ada-
pable to the changing requirements
of the passing years.. North.. Can.-.
ton's first library used the room
which is now known as the 'Woman's Club room.'
Mayor Guy Price.while,speaking
over the air stated that the building played a great part m keeping
down juvenile delinquericev here in
North Canton.
Carl Sponseller, who is now vice
president of the board of directors,
spoke of being present at the dedication services 25 years ago and
having watched with ■ interest the
growth of the building since that
time.
C. B. Williams whom everyone
knows, and who had been the. executive secretary of the -Building
for some 23 years and better, said
that the turn out Sunday was
heart warming and showed the
community spirit present in North
Canton. He wanted to thank all the
committees and their assistants
who helped make the anniversary
celebration such a success. He stated that the Community Building
had nine employees to keep it running at peak efficiency. His staff
at the present time is composed, of
Mike Wadell in charge of Physical administration; Bill Blank,

Merit of the Anti-Defamation League and District ..Grand

relationships to one another that'they help,eachotherta-creative-achievement We shall achieve such a democracy only
when* yge' realize that all men regardless of race, or color, or
creed are creative ,,. ... We cannot.build such, a society by
merelyi-avoiding the evils of racial antagonism .... We must
not only 'stop hating—we must begin to love."
