Don't be a Nut Behind the Wheel ! They Could Be Heroes Come the first Monday of 1955, a new Congress will assemble in the National Capital. Unfortunately it will bring; with it to these histjoric chambers something less than the feverish enthusiasm of the American people. Yet few Congresses in our history have faced graver problems, foreign and domestic. How it performs, the degree of understanding- and cooperation, that is achieved between it and flie White House will indicate to Americans everywhere the capacity for unselfish devotion to tlie nation at each end of Pennsylvania Avenue. However confused, we still have a two-party system. But it is still split cross-ways. To state clearly and simply what each party stands for is no longer possible, since each is divided into those who favor socialistic and globaiistic adventures, and those who fear above all else the softening of nationalism, the scuttling of the rights of tihe individual and bureaucratic enroachment on tlie free enterprise system that has given the nation its uneasy place of world leadership. The adherants of states rights are no more all Democrats than the protectionists are all Republicans. As many have observed before, and continue tto remark, a realignment must be worked out if a two-partv svstem— which seems historically to be the secret of political health and strength — is to survive. Such realignments have oc- cured in this Land of the Free before. It is high time for it to happen again. Perhaps tlie stage will be set by the 84th Congress. If and when there is a clarification, the voters who have been accused of "apathy" may be able to find themselves and to re-establish their convictions and their confidence. A Plan For Better Roads Just because people don't like Ho pay taxes, they pay out more actual money for poor roads than good ones would cost them. That's a rJoint made by Dr. Robinson Newcomb, Department of Commerce economist, whose article "How We Might Get the Safe and Adequate Highways We Need" appears in the autumn issue of "American Highways." Higher accident costs, higher maintenance charges and greater time lost are some of the expenses the citizen bears in lieu of a few more pennies for better roads. Plans for new roads are usually based on traffic counts taken on existing roads plus a factor for future growth. A fact often overlooked is that the existing road might be carrying 50 to 100 percent more traffic than it does if it were adequate for present needs, because good roads help to promote commerce and travel. Roads should be designed not for minimum traffic volume, but for all they can carry, Dr. Newcomb believes. Five cent gas taxes won't build as much road mileage today as three-cent taxes would build in 1930. To preserve the same ratio between revenues, dollar values and construction costs, state fuel taxes need tto average about seven cents a gallon. Dr. Newcomb believes pecJpie will gladly pay for better highways if fair ways of financing can be worked out. "Highways are a business necessity," he says, and urges that "planning techniques need to be spiced with imagination and faith in the country." VOL. 30 NO. 12 NORTH CANTON, OHIO, WEDNESDAY.

At that time the Commission said it would not report further Soviet tests unless they were something out of the ordinary. Thus we may assume from recent word from the AEC that there have been "detonations of nuclear explosives" in the USSR since mid-September, and that the fall-out of radioactive material has extended, as far as the U.S., that these tests have been something super. It now remains for us to find out whether these new Red blasts are by way of finding out how to reduce armaments (other' peoples', that' is); are experiments in the peaceful use of the atom; or merely because they now have so many bombs they don't know what else to do with them. Perhaps you will recall that last September we mentioned that a Tokio newspaper reported Japanese scientists believed an H-bomb had been detonated on Wrangel Island.

Stark County Dog Warden, is planning a "Santa Pups" give-away in the lobby of the Stark County Courthouse from 8:30 a.m. until noon Saturday, December 18, and again on Thursday, December 23, from 8:30 a.m. until 1 p.m., or until his department runs out of puppies. Those two dates were selected, the dog warden said, because youngsters will be out of school both days. Thursday, Dec. 23, is the beginning of Christmas vacation. Parents who always ha>ve wanted to give their youngsters a puppy for Christmas can also play Santa Claus to the puppies, too, by giving them young masters to love and care for them. These are puppies. DiSimone said, which might other- tile "Santa Pups" is that the new owners must purchase licenses for the cuddly canines. The fee is $2 per puppy, regardless of ifs sex. At the same time, DiSimone is making a plea to owners of dogs which have had litters of puppies recently. He suggested that if the puppy owners don't know what to do with them, they should bring the pups to the dog pound. Then the pups will be given away to make a happier c^i^Lf^0^. i" T.

O.utnr anrl Jim Beavers, Dog Warden Plans To Give Away Stray Puppies Dec. 18 & 23 Nicholas DiSimone. Stark County Dog Warden, is planning a "Santa Pups" give-away in the lobby of the Stark County Courthouse from 8:30 a.m. until noon Saturday, December 18, and again on Thursday, December 23, from 8:30 a.m. until 1 p.m., or until his department runs out of puppies. Those two dates were selected, the dog warden said, because youngsters will be out of school both days. Thursday, Dec. 23, is the beginning of Christmas vacation. Parents who always ha>ve wanted to give their youngsters a puppy for Christmas can also play Santa Claus to the puppies, too, by giving them young masters to love and care for them. These are puppies. DiSimone said, which might other- tile "Santa Pups" is that the new owners must purchase licenses for the cuddly canines. The fee is $2 per puppy, regardless of ifs sex. At the same time, DiSimone is making a plea to owners of dogs which have had litters of puppies recently. He suggested that if the puppy owners don't know what to do with them, they should bring the pups to the dog pound. Then the pups will be given away to make a happier c^i^Lf^0^. i" T.
