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!"

'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.

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

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;.

P.E.O. Sisterhood will join

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.
