-"t V THlTljfrERICAN^Alf NORTH CANTON, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY.*?; 1954 7 CENTS PER COPY Makes Sense Brotherhood In Small Town The small town is often called the bulwark of America. Living close together, hometown folk don't worry about brotherhood problems. There simply isn't any problem. That is what we'd like to:believe, isn't it? We'd like to call "typical" the Wisconsin town .where the sportsminded priest won the Catholic Youth Organization basketball championship-with a team composed of a Jewish lad, two Methodists, a Congregationalist" and one from his own church. ": We'd like to call "typical" the Missouri village" where the town's only Negro family was so completely and traditionally accepted for three generations that children from other homes wondered what strangers meant when they spoke of "niggers". But are they typical?. We wonder. '. During this National Brotherhood Week, we'd like for jthe, folks of our town to examine their souls for a true and (objective answer. Is oui2_town free of racial and religious prejudice? Maybe ours is one of the tpiwns whlere there are no Negro residents. So we say we have no "Negro problem". But what was your comment, the last time you visited the Big City? Did you say, ."Isn't it a shame.that the Negro fami- ifeSiLiare m^ijff'ih^^ and s^j&mg^Su£-^ Was that Brotherhood? ■^Perhaps ours is lone of the towns where we have only t^p.pr three Jewish families. We ^say we have no "Jewish prOpiem-," . We haven't here in our'town. We've known our flG$hetowtt-;.neigIvbors for too. long; But didn't one of our riiaighhprs-.say, the other night: "You know how,it is with the- Jews. They always take care of each other, no matter who gets hurt"? We have no "Catholic and Protestant problem" in our town, we say. But how often do we think 4bud: "If those two get married, the Protestant girl will certainly turn for that Catholic. Or "You want to watch those Masons. They hold secret meetings to figure out how to run this town." i '. We claim that we do a pretty good job of living brotherhood within the.borders of our little community. We .have ^earned, by experience that men of all faiths and all dolors can be neighbors and friends when they know and respect 4rae lanother. '■ But that isn't enough. We must "talk" brotherhood, too. The "usual" phrase — the phrase that someone coined generations ago — must be discarded. They must g|o the way of the long-forgotten prejudices. Why talk up a prejudice that seems to exist in another community that is demonstrably false in ours ?' '■ The phrases which perpetuate the "traditional" atti- tudte lloward the rest of the world are the logical target to be destroyed during National Brotherhood Week. They aren't true when an outsider says them about our town, why should they be true when we say them about outsiders. •'• Besides, although we understand each other quite well, the idle phrase meant for someone else in another city can |>er just the remark that can upset our life of brotherhood atjihome. ■Ef Firemen Sponsor Magic Show Feb. 27 The Stark County Firemen's Ass'n., will present the "Cavalcade of Mystery," a magic show headed by Dr. Carlo and Company; in Timken High School Auditorium Saturday, February 27. The troupe, which has received unusually good notices in other cities where it has played, will present two performances, one at 4 p.m. and the other at 8:30. If overflow crows should necessitate it, additional shows will be held at 6:10 and 10:10 p.m. The Stark County Firemen's Assn., Inc. comprises 29 volunteer 'fire fighting organizations. Tickets can be obtained from all member firemen and will 'ho on sale at ithe Timken .box office all day Saturday.

An airport for the military,and military only, would remove the hazards to commercial planes that is always present when both types of planes are operated from the same toase. A request for 15 million dollars for ithe large military port, has been submitted to the U.S. Bureau of the Budget. The budget' bureau is expected to pass on the request and forward it to Congress within ithe next 'few weeks. Rep. Frank Bow stated ithat he believes Congress will give quick approval to the military installation. Plans for the port are part of the U.S. Defense Department's program to build U.S. air power to 137 wings. Bow pointed out, however, that before he will go along with the proposal, he will want assurance from responsible sources in the Pentagon that if the new airport is built it will be for the exclusive use of the military. He also' said he wants to be sure that the new military (field would noit interfere with commercial airline service to the Akron - Canton Airport. Construction of the 'mammoth military port will solve reserve training problems that have been plaguing Air Force, Navy and Marine reserve officials in Akron and Cleveland for several years. If the new port is built, it should provide a training place for U.S. Navy and Marine Corps reserve units which have been training at Akron Municipal Airport as well as the OANG wing at Akron - Canton Airport, which has "toeen clamoring' Ifor extend: ed runways at that porit in order to train jet pilots for this area. Neither Akron Muniolp1ai:Air-' port or Akron - Canton 'Airport have runways long enough to safely train pilots with j e t planes, the new proposed com pletely military airport should provide the necessary runways for jet training and eliminate the necessity for any lengthening of runways at the local ports. Unofficial- sources report 'that the land for the field will be bought outright by the military and will be constructed 100 per cent with military funds. Location of the field has not been definitely decided upon, however Air Force engineering and inspection teams have been surveying sites in Portage, Summit and northern Medina Counties. Defense Department plans provide for establishing it-raining (facilities at the proposed "gigantic field for about 5,000 reservists and more than 100 military planes of reserve components of Air Force, Ohio Air National Guard, Navy and Marine Corps Ohio. •According to reports the ltl2th Fighter - Bomber - Interceptor Squadron and the 121st Air Base group at 'Akron - Canton Airport, will remain at Akron, - Canton Airport, however it is hoped that with the building of the larger military airport, the necessity of ithe taxpayers o'f Summit and Stark Counity having to foot a bill to lengthen the runways at Akron - Canton Airport, for the use of jet planes, will be eliminated. Also that the danger to Mils highly populated area will toe removed..

If the new port is built, it should provide a training place for U.S. Navy and Marine Corps reserve units which have been training at Akron Municipal Airport as well as the OANG wing at Akron - Canton Airport, which has "toeen clamoring' Ifor extend: ed runways at that porit in order to train jet pilots for this area. Neither Akron Muniolp1ai:Air-' port or Akron - Canton 'Airport have runways long enough to safely train pilots with j e t planes, the new proposed com pletely military airport should provide the necessary runways for jet training and eliminate the necessity for any lengthening of runways at the local ports. Unofficial- sources report 'that the land for the field will be bought outright by the military and will be constructed 100 per cent with military funds. Location of the field has not been definitely decided upon, however Air Force engineering and inspection teams have been surveying sites in Portage, Summit and northern Medina Counties. Defense Department plans provide for establishing it-raining (facilities at the proposed "gigantic field for about 5,000 reservists and more than 100 military planes of reserve components of Air Force, Ohio Air National Guard, Navy and Marine Corps Ohio. •According to reports the ltl2th Fighter - Bomber - Interceptor Squadron and the 121st Air Base group at 'Akron - Canton Airport, will remain at Akron, - Canton Airport, however it is hoped that with the building of the larger military airport, the necessity of ithe taxpayers o'f Summit and Stark Counity having to foot a bill to lengthen the runways at Akron - Canton Airport, for the use of jet planes, will be eliminated. Also that the danger to Mils highly populated area will toe removed..
