In going over the papers that come to my desk, I read a most thought-provoking editorial in one of the small rural papers. Its title was one of those phrases that haunt you in the middle of the night, "who lives next door—or are you the fellow?" There is something in that sentence which appeals to the imagination. Each one who reads it will follow through according to his own line of thought. Here is what it meant to me. Who lives next door? Is it the Murphys, the Smiths, the Slezaks, the Antonios, the Cohens, the Kozwalskis, the Sanchezes? This is. America, and it may be any one of them. But really it is you, too—for you are part of America, and America means men and women of all faiths, races, religious and colors, working side by side to make of this a better and u greater nation. This is a big world. Likewise we are a big country. The world is built upon competition. So is our country. But fortunately, our country is so large—both mentally and physically—that there is room for all of us, provided our motives are sincere. We, as Americans, do not want dictation from any group. Therefore we must not dictate to any one. Equally so is the fact that we must not be indifferent to the needs of any one. It was George Bernard Shaw who said: "The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them, hate is the essence of inhumanity." Who. lives next.door? Whose job is it to make the best of America? His or yours—for to someone else you are the fellow next door. We cannot have a superior without an inferior—so the insecure try to manufacture inferiors upon whom to look down. "Sfou can get a pain in the neck from looking down as much as from craning up. Free men should look at each other —for they are neighbors. Who lives next door? It is you and me and every last American of us. We are neighbors all—and until and uniess we assume a neighborly spirit of cooperation, we are ,not living up to the best that is America. What we need to do is to look around at our fellow-Americans drawn from every rank of life, from every nation, from every religion, and say: "Thank God for America—where we can all work together, fight together—and win together! Let's get to it! Together nobody can ever beat us!" .Summit Street, North Canton. Other members of the Board are: R. E. rnchsel, T. M. Hahn and Mrs. Margaret Bain. 'ho Librarian reported upon ic: work of lit'l'J. It was the largest annual year in circulation in the history of the Library exceeding the circulation of 1948 by approximately 1100 books. Tho increases were particularly marked in the juvenile circulation. New borrowers numbering (\Tl were added to the library registration of patrons bringing the total of borrowers registered to 4007. In addition to ,North Canton, twenty other cnm.m.unities are represented in these figures. The Library added about l.'jOO books to its shelves of which about 800 were gifts and 1000 purchased volumes. The book collection ap- proximatees 14,000. In Periodicals, the library subscribes to 80 so,me periodical? and 5 newspapers. The work of any library cannot be measured by circulation of books alone. There are many reference and research questions which are handled in the library and show no circulation figure. Il is interesting to note that about 7,000 requests of one kind and another were made at the library of which about KdOO were answered by telephone. Visitors to the Little Art Gallerv numbered about 4800 with a peak attendance in May of about 750. The May Show marks the peak of ths Gallery program. Stories were told by member.- of the stair to 52 groups with an at- j tendance of about 1500. Talks b> stall' members in an-out of the library numbered 10 given to audiences totaling about 400. Local P.E.0. Joins in Celebration of Founder's Day Socialism By The Back Door untrv gradually adopt socialized medicine by Your Congressman In Washington Your Congressman, John Me- Sweeney, recently returned from a trip to Europe, was present at the opening of the second session of tha 81st Congress to hear President Truman address Congress on the State on *he Union, ma«e his semi-annual economic report, and put in a budget request •>r $42.4 billion, aiboun i ^00,000,000 less than he asked lor last year. Mr. McSweeney is a member ofi the House Rules Committee, which this week reported a resolution which would restore the right of the committee to conside legislation witho'.i*; threat of discharge. Under th? rule adopted by the House last year, if the Rules Committee fails to act on a bill within 21 days after it is- referred to the Ccnmittee, the chairman of the behalf of the compulsory neaitn.insurance uni. nuwevei, &u previously oeen i>neiveu much public opposition has developed that its sponsors think Hui-es Committee Any cl other tactics may prove more fruitful for the time being. ^ £|mm&^viU Vstr committee which originally handled Will this country gradually adopt socialized mecucme uy the bill can mowvto have it brought back door"' . -u'' f°r House action.

However, so previously been shelved by the -■■•■■ ., . , t>..i._ /-i :»...... a.... change in sposed by trenuously As an example the Senate has passed and the House may soon vote on 'a,bill, which has received relatively little attention, authorizing. Federal grants-in-aid. to medical schools. Under the terms of i£, the Surgeon General would decide what schools <werx* to get the money, in what order, and in what amounts. He would work with a council, but its function would he advisory only. All the real power of action and decision would be vested in one man. The medical schools would have to come to him, in the scramble" for funds. If the government pays the bill—in this or any other matter—the government is eventually going to give the orders. That is inevitable. Such a measure, innocuous as it may seem to some, would be a perfect starting point for legislation which would subject our medical school's to political administration in all phases of their activity. Still another measure which lias passed the Senate and is now in the House would make the government responsible for the physical a.nd mental health of. all school children between five and 17. That may have appealing soand—yet can anyone doubt that it would become a plank in the house of socialized medicine? The point is that socialism usually comes to nations on a piecemeal basis. These bills indicate the phm to be used in this country;. The local Chapter 1JB of the P.E.O. Sisterhood will join with the three Canton Chapters who with more than 100,- 000 other P.E.O.'s throughout the world will be celebrating Founder's Day during this month.

Local Students Participate In Speech Event The Quality of Loyalty One of the finest of human attributes, is the simple quality of loyalty. One doesn't have to be educated or trained in the quality of loyalty. It is a thing that lives within the heart and soul. The quality of loyalty is not affected by great or few possessions, it is .not measured in dollars and'cents or the size of a house one lives in. It lives beneath a rugged denim coat as often as it does beneath the finest garments. Loyalty to one's employer,.loyalty to the family, loyalty to one's friends, to the school, the church and the town. Whenever it is found it enhances its possessor and makes of him or her a superior person. I would rather have one loyal friend than a million whose loyalty was uncertain and wavering. I think if one can come to the end of life with one or two loyal friends—he is rich beyond his knowledge. Loyalty is a quality that gives beauty, and excellence, and character to' every other grace a human can.possess. Loyalty is like the alloy that gives to the baser metal its strength and its value and its beauty. Several students fi'oni North Canton high" school registered for the annual individual«kvents speech tournament, which was held at Mass ill oil's Washington Higi'n school Saturday, William C.

Who Lives Next Door?
In going over the papers that come to my desk, I read a
most thought-provoking editorial in one of the small rural
papers. Its title was one of those phrases that haunt you in
the middle of the night, "who lives next door—or are you the
fellow?"
There is something in that sentence which appeals to
the imagination. Each one who reads it will follow through
according to his own line of thought. Here is what it meant
to me.
Who lives next door? Is it the Murphys, the Smiths, the
Slezaks, the Antonios, the Cohens, the Kozwalskis, the Sanchezes? This is. America, and it may be any one of them. But
really it is you, too—for you are part of America, and America means men and women of all faiths, races, religious and
colors, working side by side to make of this a better and u
greater nation.
This is a big world. Likewise we are a big country. The
world is built upon competition. So is our country. But fortunately, our country is so large—both mentally and physically—that there is room for all of us, provided our motives
are sincere.
We, as Americans, do not want dictation from any group.
Therefore we must not dictate to any one. Equally so is the
fact that we must not be indifferent to the needs of any one.
It was George Bernard Shaw who said: "The worst sin toward
our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent
to them, hate is the essence of inhumanity."
Who. lives next.door? Whose job is it to make the best
of America? His or yours—for to someone else you are the
fellow next door.
We cannot have a superior without an inferior—so the
insecure try to manufacture inferiors upon whom to look
down. "Sfou can get a pain in the neck from looking down as
much as from craning up. Free men should look at each other
—for they are neighbors. Who lives next door? It is you and
me and every last American of us. We are neighbors all—and
until and uniess we assume a neighborly spirit of cooperation,
we are ,not living up to the best that is America.
What we need to do is to look around at our fellow-Americans drawn from every rank of life, from every nation, from
every religion, and say: "Thank God for America—where we
can all work together, fight together—and win together! Let's
get to it! Together nobody can ever beat us!"
