M,',i V\¥ ■['; VOL. 24—No. 52 NORTH CANTON, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1948 6c PER COPY We Can Win Over Fire This country will win the war agains fire when, and only when, we realize that every American must take his place as a belligerent. Those whose main business is fire prevention are doing a fine job. They are helping to develop safer building materials, appliances and machinery. They are improving our fire dfg£irtments and other fire fighting facilities. They are making'available a wealth of material which shows the causes of fire, the principal hazards, and proven means of prevention. But all this essential work will be done in vain unless a wide degree of public interest and cooperation are obtained. There is nothing impersonal about fire prevention. It has only one purpose—to make your home, your property, and your person safe from one of the cruelest killers and destroyers. Its sole aim is to save the $700,000,000 worth of property and the more than 10,000 lives that fire now consumes each year. Its goal, therefore, is to make this a safer, happier and richer country. Organized fire prevention work is being brought to a peak of activity in 1949, and it will reach its apex now during Fire Prevention Week. The leaders and experts are showing the way. It is' up to the rest of us—the millions who are ' never safe from the threat of fire, whether we realize it or not—to make this great work bear its full fruit. The Principals of Unity Every so often we hear objections raised to the idea of UiSBy among the American people. It will lead to uniformity, . the critics say. It will compel everyone to .accept certain beliefs forcibly imposed by public opinion and the state. It will suppress, religious freedom by preventing minorities from expressing their own particular views. It will relegate to a position of relative unimportance those beliefs which distinguish one religion from another. Zone Law at Proposed at Meeting Chief Harry Mohler Urges Citizens to Cooperate in Fire Safety Fire Chief Harry Mohler, urged all citizens of North Canton and vicinity to concentrate, their attention and activities on the subject of Fire Safety in their homes and at work especially during Fire Prevention Week. To be trapped by fire anywhere is a frightful and possibly a final experience. We recoil with horror from the thought of being pinned in a blazing bus, automobile, or airplane; of being caught on the flaming deck of a ship far out at sea. But there is something surpassingly terrifying about being alarmed from sleep in a tall hotel or in your own home by smoke and flames, panic and despair. Fire prevention week should be dedicated to the education of all about fire safety. The shuddering horror of recent hotel fires have made every fireman alive to their responsibility, but Chief Mohler urges all householders as well as owners of buildings to become more aware of their responsibility to prevent fire. Literally thousands of dollars and hundreds of lives are lost every year in fires throughout Ohio. The sleepy bed-smoker remains a potential, if unintentional, killer. Careless use of matches, parking of lighted cigarets remain the greatest menace to life and property. For the sake of human happiness, Fire Chief Harry Mohler urges all North Cantonites to wage and unflagging war on fire. Prevent fires and you won't have to fight them and pay for them he urges. P-T.A. District Health Conference to Be .8 A motion that township trustees be authorizeed to set up a zoning commission for Edgefield community was made at a town hall meeting held last week in Edgefield School auditorium. A town hall committee favors zoning for the community following a series of discussions, held this summer, on the values of zoning, annexation or incorporation. However, final action on a zoning commission will have to be decided by the voters. The committtee also planned to submit the question of street lights for the community to trustees. During the session, the problem of juvenile delinquency was discussed .by a panel comprised of Juvenile Judge Paul D. Van Nostram, George J. O'Brien, secretary of the Knights of Columbus; William Wolfarth, principal at West North School, and Paul J. Armstrong, youth counselor of the- Akron Council of Church women. Rev. Harold W. Ewing, pastor of the Christ Community J/Tethodist Church, served as moderator. The group concluded the lack of religious training, parental neglect Gllerv ,-., and broken homes were the chief I ^auery dre invited, causes of delinquent children. They urged parks and recreation centers be made available in communities where delinquency is high. Pigs Try to Hog Way into World Series CLEVELAND, OHIO—The Cleveland Indians look with disbelief as a parade passes by—a sow with her little shoats during a pro- , gram celebration. Is this an omen of victory? Reception and Exhibit Opens Fa! at The Little Art Gallery Members of the Art Board who will manage the affairs of the1 Little Art Gallery of the North Canton Library during the coming year will meet guests at a reception in the second floor rooms of the North Canton Library on Friday evening, October 8 at 8 o'clock. Refreshments will be served. All friends of the The East District Health Conference of the Ohio Congress of Parents and Teachers iwill be held in Canton Friday, October 8 at the Y.M.C.A., 405 2nd St. NW. The meeting will open at 9:30 a.-! m. and will be dismissed at 3:30. There will be special conferences in Mental and Social Hygiene, Hot Lunch, T. B. and Cancer and Dental Care. Dr. Dwight Arnold, from Kent State University, will be a speaker on "Emotional Needs and Health Needs of Children." Mrs. Verne Davis, Dayton, Ohio, State P-T.A. Health Chairman, Mrs. Russell Arnold, Dayjon, State Social Health Chairman and Mrs. Harold Hopkins, from, Geneva, State .- School .- Lunch, Chairman, will be in attendance to assist in the Conference. The State Dept. of Health will also have representatives available for resource people. This meeting1 is open to Naval Scholarship Tests to Be Dec. 11 These objections arise, and could only arise, from a misunderstanding of what is meant by Unity and the principles upon which it must rest. By Unity we simply mean that there are some principles in American life so easily recognized by all men of good will as to be accepted by them gladly, voluntarily, and reasonably—and that is acknowledging these principles we all find a common ground on which to stand. There is the principle, stated by Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence, that every man born into this world brings certain inalienable and inherent rights with him as the gift of God. The right to speak is one of them. The right to print is another,. The right to worship according to the dictates of conscience is still another. This principle of equal rights applies to the Protestant, the Jew, the Catholic, the Negro and the White man without any distinction between them whatsoever. And all Americans of good will are one in proclaiming, acclaiming, and accepting-this principle. We are united oin this grbund. There is the principle of majority rule and the security of mujarity rights against both the state and the majority. Ariifricans of good will are united on that principle—regardless of their religion, their race, their national origin, or their class. There is the principle, as Jefferson again stated in the Declaration of Independence,, that, the function of government is to secure to men the rights they have from God—a principle which protects us forever from state tyranny and makes the: Government man's servant, not his master. We are united—Catholics, Protestants, and Jews—on that principle. When we speak-of Unity in America it is Unity based upon and growing out- of' the acceptance, in the main, of these principles. We-are not trying to enforce any kind of uniformity^ in religion, or politics. Indeed, the principles upon which we are united, teach us that we have an inalienable and inherent right to be:different. We are not seeking'to force anyone* into, a-mold—or to expel any group from our society. We are' instead, saying that everyone of every gr6up has an inherent right to enjoy the fullest opportunities America offers and to develop his talents to the highest possible degree without discrimination against him because of his race, religion, national origin, or class. - «i are not endeavoring to deprive any religious group of articular, and precious beliefs. We are, in accordance with our principles of Unity,- maintaining the right of every reli"-ious groups to teach- and practice its tenets free of persecution or restriction. We are United on-those principles which guarantee our freedom to be free and to be different. Health workers tend.

These scarves are mass-produced and sold through many department stores. z RECEP && EXHIBIT-—2-24 The major exhibit consists of IS works by James Herriot Rutledge of New York City. The artist is a native of Canton. Living now in the world's largest city, he has strangely enough turned to nature for his themes. The growth rhythms of plant forms, the craggy conformations of rock outcroppings, the moods of the weather have all been studied for what they can contribute- to a freely interpreted composition. Rutledge captures the spir- * ™" jin abstract patterns deli- ":r iii "a complex tech- jink, Chinese white and washes combine to give an impression of fragility and movement' such as one finds in ferns and feathers and minute water animals. Rutledge feels and tries to "express the tenuous balance between creation and' destruction in nature. His personal philosophy is much influenced by , Thoreau. Rutledge spent two years in London and Paris as a military map draughtsman. In Paris his creative work was much admired by the Existentialists. Since returning to the United States, he has aimed toward a new style, of which these 16 paintings are the first to be shown. Mrr. Rutledge's mother is Mrs. Abbie C. Rutledge of Canton. E. Guest Speaker at Jr. Woman's Clu& Mr. Ellwood Broadwater, city editor of the Canton Repository, will be the guest speaker at the October 11 meeting of the North Canton Junior Woman's Club. Mr. Bi-oadwater will speak on "Postwar Germany." Music for the evening -will be presented by Wilda Frederic Miller and Thelma Schwitzgebel in a piano duet. Hostesses for the (meeting ■which will be held in the Community Building at 8 o'clock will be" Mrs. Carl "Lindenberger"" and Miss Burdeen Willaman. North Canton Weather Station Closed Oct.

Fishing at Mt. Gilead Lakes in Morrow County is expected to be improved beginning next Spring following the draining and restocking program begun last week by the Ohio Division of Conservation. The project, similar to the one used on Lake. White in Pike County last fall will include the complete draining of the upper lake, which cascades into a lower lake, and the removal of all fish including more than 16 species. E. L. Wickliff, chief of the fish management and propagation section, stated this week that test-netting operations indicate that large mouth bass and bullhead catfish have "shown the most- rapid growth and are more readily caught and ;ther'efore- will "be' the only two species used to restock-the. upper'lake early, next year after the necessary vegetation- treatment-' and "dredging to increase the fishing area: Ray H._ Riethmiller, fish management agent for Conservation District No. 5, said today that the bass and bullheads, removed from the upper lake will be "housed" at the Indian Lake Hatchery until the lake has been refilled. Other species removed except the-white crappies which will be placed in the lower lake, will be distributed at several points along the-Whetstone Creek and the Olen- tangy River above the Delaware Dam for brood'stock in that area. When the project is completed and the lakes are opened to public fishing in the spring the upper lake is expected to provide excellent bass and bullhead fishing while the lower lake will furnish bass, crappie and bluegills. The combined acreage of both lakes is approximately 32 acres. LOCAL DOGS WON HONORS AT LORAIN KENNEL SHOW Four area dogs won honors in the "Milo Saucy Suzette," Pomeranian owned by Mrs. H. E.

He also states that any. children that are found to be causing disturbances or destroying property between now and October 30. 1948, will be brought into the Mayor's Court and as punishment will be-- confined to their homes in the evenings, until after October 30th.

Breezes Straight From the North Pole Started September with All Time Low Breezes straight from the North Pole broke the worst heat - wave in Stark County in 30 years and started September off'' with an all time low of 38 degrees. Residents scurried to put, away summer flimsies and get out sweaters and blankets, asJ the mercury dropped to 38 on September 1. Damage to crops was missed by a margin of only a few degrees. Frost was reported in Tuscarawas County with farmers reporting a" light film of "ice" in low lying areas. Rain on Labor Day spoiled the holiday fun for many who had planned to attend the Fair, and have" picnics to finish off the summer, but it was the first rain to fall in 18 days" and gardners and farmers welcomed, it. The rainfall measured only .18 of an inch and cleared in time to - allow folks to enjoy the late afternoon and evening at the fair. The south wasn't so lucky though as damages ran into the millions, - the downpour was reported as 4.85 inches in less than four hours. Water, was reported as standing 14 inches j deep in some cellars in Georgia. After several days of considerable' cloudiness and showers the thermometer started to rise and by the 17th reached the highest reading of the"' month 90 degrees, as recorded at the D. O. Cornerr weather station in North Canton. On the 19th a small cloudburst drenched this area with a reported 1.75 of an inch of rain, falling, bring-,' ing the temperature back down with it. On the 22nd a hurricane swept- the southeastern seabord.and y(.inds were recorded at 100 miles'per hour. Real snow was reported at Miami, Florida. By the 26th the mercury' had dropped to 38 the lowest of" theS month. Hartville vegetable region; was not hurt by the frosts, as th»- dampness of the ground" protected the- crops. . Football weather, was much m- evidence as the month closed, with.. the weatherman predicting warmer weather to come. The mean monthly temperature for the month was' 64 09 degrees while the normal is 64.30. Normal rainfall is 3.10 while highest temperature was on the 17th 4.11 fell during the month. The highest temperature 90 degrees was on the 17th while the.lowest was recorded on the 25 and 26th. There were 10 cloudy days, 9 partly cloudy and 11 clear days during the month. Dense fog was recorded on the 6th while light fog was reported on the 10th and 17th. , October 1 marked the close of independent weather observing in this area. In 1882, the Canton, weather station was opened and has continued through until now. The local stations were recognized by the United States Weather Bureau, but after October 1, the bureau station at the Akron-Canton Memorial Airport will be the recording station for the area. With the close of the station the duties of Mr. and Mrs. D. O. Corner have come to an end. They have been the North Canton observers for the past seven years. Though they recorded only temperatures and precipitation they were continually swamped with calls for all types of weather information. Now all inquiries can be directed to the airport. As a reward for their service, the instruments will remain the Corners, but now if they want to get away for a weekend they can go without worrying about weather recording at home. Mr. Corner is a teacher at McKinley" High School and much of the- recording fell to Mrs. Corner. While he was at school, she watched the weather. Wednesday morning they sent the last telegram to the Weather Bureau in Columbus giving the final report from the North Canton weather station. President of Capitol Airlines Addressed Rotary Clubs LUTHERAN MISSIONARY SOCIETY TO MEET The Missionary society of the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church will meet on Monday, October 13, at 12 noon in the church basement for a covered dish luncheon. Mrs. Clifford Himes will be the hostess, assisted by the program committee. Mrs. Clyde Borengen will speak on "Mexican Mission."' F. 0. Hoover to Receive High Masonic Degree James H. Carmichael, president of Capitol Airlines spoke before the assembled Rotary Clubs at the Ones- to Hotel on Friday. He told the members that the responsibility of the airlines to a community is to haul, the .goods manufactured there and transport the people safely, swiftly and comfortably to their des tinations. "Our personnel makes us e part of your community," he sated," and we particiularly desire to provide benefits by air service for short distances. The airlines are a young and growing business. In 1941 they carried 3 million passengers whereas this year they will carry approximately 13 million. "The high cost of lifting is tremendous and there are many uncontrollable costs. Fuel and oil will cost $800,000 more than last year, salaries and wages are up 30 percent and the cost of one engine for the large DC-4's is as much as an entire plane cost 10 years ago. "With world conditions as they are today," he continued, "we can't afford to let- up and sit by and wait as we did prior to World War II. Rather, commercial aviation must be prepared to aid military aviation when called on. The expenses to keep prepared now will be very small compared to what it might cost in dollars and lives if we wait. "While we have our general offices in Washington, our actual headquarters are in each of the various communities we serve," Mr. Carmichael concluded. Jaycees Plan Hallowe'en Street The North Canton Jaycees are busy making plans for the annual Hallowe'en Street Dance, to beheld on Saturday night, October 30. The annual affair, which has; grown in popularity the last two years, will be divided as in past; vears. The small children will go; to the Community Building for1 cider and doughnuts and many grand prizes, plus some profes-* sional entertainment. The .grown ups will have a: street dance on W. Maple St. fromi the square to Ream St. The street, will be blocked off and will be gay- ly decorated and prizes will be awarded for best costumes. An orchestra will play for dancing and free cider and doughnuts will be given. Clyde Vanaman, chairman of the North Canton Jr. Chamber of Commerce Youth Activities Committee, is in charge of the affair. TWO MORE N.

We Can Win Over Fire
This country will win the war agains fire when, and only when, we realize that every American must take his place
as a belligerent.
Those whose main business is fire prevention are doing
a fine job. They are helping to develop safer building materials, appliances and machinery. They are improving our fire
dfg£irtments and other fire fighting facilities. They are making'available a wealth of material which shows the causes of
fire, the principal hazards, and proven means of prevention.
But all this essential work will be done in vain unless a wide
degree of public interest and cooperation are obtained.
There is nothing impersonal about fire prevention. It
has only one purpose—to make your home, your property,
and your person safe from one of the cruelest killers and
destroyers. Its sole aim is to save the $700,000,000 worth of
property and the more than 10,000 lives that fire now consumes each year. Its goal, therefore, is to make this a safer,
happier and richer country.
Organized fire prevention work is being brought to a
peak of activity in 1949, and it will reach its apex now during Fire Prevention Week. The leaders and experts are showing the way. It is' up to the rest of us—the millions who are
' never safe from the threat of fire, whether we realize it or
not—to make this great work bear its full fruit.
The Principals of Unity
Every so often we hear objections raised to the idea of
UiSBy among the American people. It will lead to uniformity,
. the critics say. It will compel everyone to .accept certain beliefs forcibly imposed by public opinion and the state. It will
suppress, religious freedom by preventing minorities from
expressing their own particular views. It will relegate to a
position of relative unimportance those beliefs which distinguish one religion from another.
Zone Law at
Proposed at Meeting
Chief Harry Mohler Urges Citizens
to Cooperate in Fire Safety
Fire Chief Harry Mohler, urged all citizens of North Canton
and vicinity to concentrate, their attention and activities on the
subject of Fire Safety in their homes and at work especially
during Fire Prevention Week.
To be trapped by fire anywhere
is a frightful and possibly a final
experience. We recoil with horror
from the thought of being pinned in
a blazing bus, automobile, or airplane; of being caught on the flaming deck of a ship far out at sea.
But there is something surpassingly
terrifying about being alarmed from
sleep in a tall hotel or in your own
home by smoke and flames, panic
and despair.
Fire prevention week should be
dedicated to the education of all
about fire safety. The shuddering
horror of recent hotel fires have
made every fireman alive to their
responsibility, but Chief Mohler
urges all householders as well as
owners of buildings to become more
aware of their responsibility to prevent fire.
Literally thousands of dollars and
hundreds of lives are lost every year
in fires throughout Ohio.
The sleepy bed-smoker remains
a potential, if unintentional, killer.
Careless use of matches, parking of
lighted cigarets remain the greatest
menace to life and property.
For the sake of human happiness,
Fire Chief Harry Mohler urges all
North Cantonites to wage and unflagging war on fire. Prevent fires
and you won't have to fight them
and pay for them he urges.
P-T.A. District Health
Conference to Be
.8
A motion that township trustees
be authorizeed to set up a zoning
commission for Edgefield community was made at a town hall meeting held last week in Edgefield
School auditorium.
A town hall committee favors zoning for the community following a
series of discussions, held this summer, on the values of zoning, annexation or incorporation. However,
final action on a zoning commission
will have to be decided by the voters. The committtee also planned
to submit the question of street
lights for the community to trustees.
During the session, the problem of
juvenile delinquency was discussed
.by a panel comprised of Juvenile
Judge Paul D. Van Nostram, George
J. O'Brien, secretary of the Knights
of Columbus; William Wolfarth,
principal at West North School, and
Paul J. Armstrong, youth counselor
of the- Akron Council of Church
women. Rev. Harold W. Ewing,

These objections arise, and could only arise, from a misunderstanding of what is meant by Unity and the principles
upon which it must rest. By Unity we simply mean that
there are some principles in American life so easily recognized by all men of good will as to be accepted by them gladly,
voluntarily, and reasonably—and that is acknowledging these
principles we all find a common ground on which to stand.
There is the principle, stated by Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence, that every man born into this world
brings certain inalienable and inherent rights with him as
the gift of God. The right to speak is one of them. The right
to print is another,. The right to worship according to the
dictates of conscience is still another. This principle of equal
rights applies to the Protestant, the Jew, the Catholic, the
Negro and the White man without any distinction between
them whatsoever. And all Americans of good will are one in
proclaiming, acclaiming, and accepting-this principle. We are
united oin this grbund.
There is the principle of majority rule and the security of
mujarity rights against both the state and the majority.
Ariifricans of good will are united on that principle—regardless of their religion, their race, their national origin, or
their class.
There is the principle, as Jefferson again stated in the
Declaration of Independence,, that, the function of government is to secure to men the rights they have from God—a
principle which protects us forever from state tyranny and
makes the: Government man's servant, not his master. We
are united—Catholics, Protestants, and Jews—on that principle.
When we speak-of Unity in America it is Unity based
upon and growing out- of' the acceptance, in the main, of
these principles. We-are not trying to enforce any kind of
uniformity^ in religion, or politics. Indeed, the principles upon
which we are united, teach us that we have an inalienable
and inherent right to be:different.
We are not seeking'to force anyone* into, a-mold—or to
expel any group from our society. We are' instead, saying
that everyone of every gr6up has an inherent right to enjoy
the fullest opportunities America offers and to develop his
talents to the highest possible degree without discrimination against him because of his race, religion, national origin,
or class. -
«i are not endeavoring to deprive any religious group of
articular, and precious beliefs. We are, in accordance
with our principles of Unity,- maintaining the right of every
reli"-ious groups to teach- and practice its tenets free of persecution or restriction.
We are United on-those principles which guarantee our
freedom to be free and to be different.
