MARCH" 31, 1948*-™ 6c-PE]KCOPY Tlie Village Council Merit At the last meeting of the iNorth Canton Village Council James Ashbaugh was appointed as a new* member of The Volunteer Fire Department. Among the topics of discussion was parking meters for North Can- ' ton. This matter, has been referred to the Safety Couneil for further consideration. j Several weeks ago a Village' Planning Commission was appoint-! ed. Glenn Boettler, chairman, will' be assisted by Milo Bixler and Claron Greenho. | At the present.time the Council [ is working on a "revision of The Plumbing Code. Equally—A Fact ** What is meant by the doctrine of human equality is likely to be misunderstood or misrepresented. Thus, Mr. Westbrook Pegler., in the NEW YORK JOURNAL-AMERICAN, wrote the following: "Offhand I can think of no more hypocritical fraud on the people of the United States than the self-inflic- ,^_ ted doctrine of equality among and between mankind. Not *t£ one person in a million believes in this. Even those few who do. so believe qualify their attitude with elaborate explanatory notes However, it does not follow that even these subscribers believe in universal equality of persons, the dirty and the clean, the lazy and the diligent, and so forth." Essentially cynical, even impudent, as this remark is, we may disregard the motive which prompted it and proceed to set the record straight. In the first place, the principle of human equality has nothing to do with whether a man is clean or dirty, brave or cowardly, educated or ignorant. It goes deeper than that. Human equality is a truth whose origin is in nature—decreed by nature's God. Our forefathers knew this. "All men are created equal," they wrote in the Declaration of Independence —equal in their souls—equal in the kind of life which is theirs as men—equal in that which makes them all members of the human family—wherever they may be, whatever they may be by race, religion, or color. The same rational soul, the same life which is common to man, and only to man, is the equal possession of ail—white and colored, Catholic and Protestant, Jew and Gentile, rich and poor, educated and ignorant, virtuous and wicked, clean and dirty . In the second place, human equality means that men are so made that they possess - eights—and possess them equally. 'Our forefathers knew that. All men "are endowed by their certain inalienable rights," they wrote in the Declaration .of IfMiependenCet'Th^rig'lit' id spealc, prnn%wbfsMp, love," marry, beget, rear and educate children are rights which belong to men because of what they are by creation and nature—without any referenee whatever to their race, religion, or color. They may use their rights for good or evil ends. But that has nothing to do with the primary fact that they have them— and need them to fulfill their duties, develop their talents, and express the life of their souls. And this by definition is true of men as such regardless of anything else—regardless of cleanliness or dirtiness—goodness or wickedness—bravery or cowardice. In the third place human equality means that all men are bom equally free. Our forefathers knew that. "All men are by nature equally free and independent," they wrote in the Virginia Bill of Rights. No man is bom a slave. Society, disregarding the free state in which men are born, may by force make slaves of some—and so deny that freedom in which all are equally bom. But what society does in no way changes the facts of nature. It may disregard them to its peril—but it cannot change them. When men are wise and virtuous they study to make the ways.of society conform with the facts of man's nature. They do not try to force man to conform to a society which, by its laws and institutions, violates man's nature. They make society serve the needs of all men. They create a society for man. That's what we are seeking to do in America. The Tap Root Of Freedom There is only one basic difference between the American system of government and the governments of those eoiin- tries- suffering" from varying degrees of dictatorship. That difference is the right, protected by law, of private ownership of property. Private property is the tap root of freedom. It is impossible to 'abolish private ownership of property for some without ultimately destroying it for all. And once it has been., destroyed, a central-government becomes boss for the simple-reason that it is the sole employer and sole property owner. Oppression follows automatically when a people, stripped of property, must"rely blindly on a government run with a free rein by men who need no longer recognize antitrust laws, labor unions, or anything else-r-men who can abandon the constitutional trappings of a free country because they are bigger than the law by right of might. Total control is. always the dream of ruthless men. The ultimate in total control is to,tal government,. The one thing standing in the path of total government iri the United States is the private ownership of property vested in millions of American citizens. It must ever remain so. Fits Passed Away March Mr. William P. Fischer, 54, manufacturer of lime products and chicken feed and active in club and veterans circles, died Friday, March 26, at 7:30 p. m. in the Cleveland Clinic Hospital of acute lymphatic leukemia from iwhich he. had suffered for the last four weeks.

Tie-| aster Seals And The Job Ahead Every Cttiiesis Support While Easter Sunday marked the close of the current nation-wide Easter Seal sale for the benefit of crippled children and adults, Dr. Basinger, chairman, of the local drive under the sponsorship of the North Canton Rotary Club, urges everyone who has not contributed to the fund to do so immediately. He appealed to all citizens who have not purchased seals to do so, that the "urgent needs of the crippled people of Ohio may be met during the coming year." He cited cerebral palsied children and persons afflicted with eoilepsy as among the most neglected groups for whom wider services are needed. Easter seal funds are used for the physical care, therapy equipment, orthopedic devices, camping and various services not provided by any other agency. Everywhere in Ohio handicapped •shildrsn and,grown-uos harve needs - which are met only partially or not at all. Facilities in many areas are non-existent or over-crowded. It is not always known that certain disabilities can be helped. Professional personnel with the necessary special training is scarce. The limited funds available for services must be spread too thin. Particularly inadequate are services for the cerebral palsied and the epileptic. Conservation of sight and hearing and correction of speech handicaps are in their infancy. Far too little is done to protect our children from the handicapping ravages of rheumatic fever. These are only a few of the areas in which effort, time and money must-be expanded by the private and public agencies concerned with the care of the physically handicapped. With the help of the Easter Seal, The Ohio Society for Crippled Children will continue and expand activities leading to better and more widespread services. This year again, an view of the record of progress behind and the vast opportunity ahead, we believe the people of Ohio will be most generous m their response, he stated. Mrs. Frances Higgins, 29, of near Aultman died in Mercy hospital of burns received when her home was razed by fire, March 18. Mrs. Higgins was critically injured in the 'early "morning blaze which took the lives of her husband, Earl Sr., 47. and their 18- month-old son, Charles Dennis Higgins.

Council Merit
At the last meeting of the iNorth
Canton Village Council James Ashbaugh was appointed as a new*
member of The Volunteer Fire Department.
Among the topics of discussion
was parking meters for North Can- '
ton. This matter, has been referred
to the Safety Couneil for further
consideration. j
Several weeks ago a Village'
Planning Commission was appoint-!
ed. Glenn Boettler, chairman, will'
be assisted by Milo Bixler and
Claron Greenho. |
At the present.time the Council [
is working on a "revision of The
Plumbing Code.
Equally—A Fact
**
What is meant by the doctrine of human equality is likely
to be misunderstood or misrepresented. Thus, Mr. Westbrook
Pegler., in the NEW YORK JOURNAL-AMERICAN, wrote
the following: "Offhand I can think of no more hypocritical
fraud on the people of the United States than the self-inflic-
,^_ ted doctrine of equality among and between mankind. Not
*t£ one person in a million believes in this. Even those few who
do. so believe qualify their attitude with elaborate explanatory
notes However, it does not follow that even these subscribers believe in universal equality of persons, the dirty and
the clean, the lazy and the diligent, and so forth."
Essentially cynical, even impudent, as this remark is, we
may disregard the motive which prompted it and proceed to
set the record straight.
In the first place, the principle of human equality has nothing to do with whether a man is clean or dirty, brave or
cowardly, educated or ignorant. It goes deeper than that.
Human equality is a truth whose origin is in nature—decreed
by nature's God. Our forefathers knew this. "All men are
created equal," they wrote in the Declaration of Independence
—equal in their souls—equal in the kind of life which is
theirs as men—equal in that which makes them all members
of the human family—wherever they may be, whatever they
may be by race, religion, or color. The same rational soul, the
same life which is common to man, and only to man, is the
equal possession of ail—white and colored, Catholic and Protestant, Jew and Gentile, rich and poor, educated and ignorant, virtuous and wicked, clean and dirty .
In the second place, human equality means that men are so
made that they possess - eights—and possess them equally.
'Our forefathers knew that. All men "are endowed by their
certain inalienable rights," they wrote in the Declaration .of
IfMiependenCet'Th^rig'lit' id spealc, prnn%wbfsMp, love," marry,
beget, rear and educate children are rights which belong to
men because of what they are by creation and nature—without any referenee whatever to their race, religion, or color.
They may use their rights for good or evil ends. But that has
nothing to do with the primary fact that they have them—
and need them to fulfill their duties, develop their talents,
and express the life of their souls. And this by definition is
true of men as such regardless of anything else—regardless
of cleanliness or dirtiness—goodness or wickedness—bravery
or cowardice.
In the third place human equality means that all men are
bom equally free. Our forefathers knew that. "All men are
by nature equally free and independent," they wrote in the
Virginia Bill of Rights. No man is bom a slave. Society, disregarding the free state in which men are born, may by force
make slaves of some—and so deny that freedom in which all
are equally bom. But what society does in no way changes the
facts of nature. It may disregard them to its peril—but it
cannot change them. When men are wise and virtuous they
study to make the ways.of society conform with the facts of
man's nature. They do not try to force man to conform to a
society which, by its laws and institutions, violates man's
nature. They make society serve the needs of all men. They
create a society for man. That's what we are seeking to do
in America.
The Tap Root Of Freedom
There is only one basic difference between the American
system of government and the governments of those eoiin-
tries- suffering" from varying degrees of dictatorship. That
difference is the right, protected by law, of private ownership
of property. Private property is the tap root of freedom.
It is impossible to 'abolish private ownership of property for
some without ultimately destroying it for all. And once it has
been., destroyed, a central-government becomes boss for the
simple-reason that it is the sole employer and sole property
owner.
Oppression follows automatically when a people, stripped of
property, must"rely blindly on a government run with a free
rein by men who need no longer recognize antitrust laws,
labor unions, or anything else-r-men who can abandon the
constitutional trappings of a free country because they are
bigger than the law by right of might.
Total control is. always the dream of ruthless men. The
ultimate in total control is to,tal government,. The one thing
standing in the path of total government iri the United States
is the private ownership of property vested in millions of
American citizens. It must ever remain so.

Fire Chief Harry Mohler has issued a plea to all citizens
of North Canton and vicinity to cooperate in Spring- Clearr-Up

For the home'cheek'-up, the Chief suggests that householders: Get rid of all rubbish and papers in the attic, closets,

aster Seals And The Job Ahead
Every Cttiiesis Support
While Easter Sunday marked the close of the current nation-wide Easter Seal sale for the benefit of crippled children
and adults, Dr. Basinger, chairman, of the local drive under
the sponsorship of the North Canton Rotary Club, urges
everyone who has not contributed to the fund to do so immediately.
He appealed to all citizens who have not purchased seals to
do so, that the "urgent needs of the
crippled people of Ohio may be met
during the coming year."
He cited cerebral palsied children
and persons afflicted with eoilepsy
as among the most neglected
groups for whom wider services
are needed.
Easter seal funds are used for
the physical care, therapy equipment, orthopedic devices, camping
and various services not provided
by any other agency.
Everywhere in Ohio handicapped
•shildrsn and,grown-uos harve needs -
which are met only partially or not
at all. Facilities in many areas are
non-existent or over-crowded. It
is not always known that certain
disabilities can be helped. Professional personnel with the necessary
special training is scarce. The limited funds available for services
must be spread too thin.
Particularly inadequate are services for the cerebral palsied and
the epileptic. Conservation of sight
and hearing and correction of
speech handicaps are in their infancy. Far too little is done to protect our children from the handicapping ravages of rheumatic
fever. These are only a few of the
areas in which effort, time and
money must-be expanded by the
private and public agencies concerned with the care of the physically handicapped.
With the help of the Easter Seal,
The Ohio Society for Crippled
Children will continue and expand
activities leading to better and
more widespread services. This
year again, an view of the record of
progress behind and the vast opportunity ahead, we believe the
people of Ohio will be most generous m their response, he stated.
Mrs. Frances Higgins, 29, of
near Aultman died in Mercy hospital of burns received when her
home was razed by fire, March 18.
Mrs. Higgins was critically injured in the 'early "morning blaze
which took the lives of her husband, Earl Sr., 47. and their 18-
month-old son, Charles Dennis
Higgins. Two-other children, Charlotte, 7, and Earl Jr., 6, died a few
hours later in Mercy Hospital.
Mrs. Higgins is survived by five
sisters, Mrs. Irene McCulty of
Sherman and Mrs. Evelyn Spencer,

Haught of Aultman.
