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.

e Are There
Will Military Airport Eliminate Need
For Longer Runways At A-C Port?
■ ■- j
If the proposed Military Airport becomes a reality north
of Akron, then the need for extended runways at the Akron-
Canton Airport should be eliminated;     ■;.._[s
It has long been advocated by
all concerned-that an airport for
the military on|y^ loea'ted in the
unpopulated farM' lajid's between
Cleveland and.'K.kij&^.w o u 1 d
serve as a source op^protection
ifor Northeastern Ohio, ifor better than anything that could be
done from Akron - Canton Airport, and with far less danger to
the densely populated sections of
Stark and Summit County.
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..
