On Listening
If someone could take a poll of the inner aspirations of
people, I have an idea that the result would be that Wanting
to tie liked really ranks first.
It is not really a desire for adulation or praise, but
there is such a comfortable feeling a\b°ut being with friends
or &mong people who really like you. You can, be' natural —
and the result is you do things better.
For example — think of the difference there is in the
work turned out by a harmonious office, and that in one
where everyone wroks at cross purposes. I kn>ow of one
office where no one stays longer than three months. Not
because of the work, but because of the atmosphere.
What has friendliness to do with listening? Plenty.
There is no quicker way to make friends and no better way
to keep friends, than by being a good listener. Think over
the people you know, whom you enjoy being with — and
you'll agree with me.
But there are certain rules of listening. First, don't
just listen seemingly, but really harken to the words and
try to understand what is being said, and why. In short,
listen intelligently.
Second — listen with interest. If you want a friend,
that friend's thoughts should be important to you. Don't
just listen until there is a pause iand you can^seize the conversation.
Third — listen constructively. That is, steer the conversation away from petty meannesses, from remarks about
otht»,people.   You can do it, if you try.
-■'-"V. ' 1 •
. .^purth, listen with kindliness. Don't be too ready to
cori^t and criticize, but let your genuine friendliness show
ill :%§e way you listen.
; -Fifth — and the most important — don't repeat any-
. thing you ar6 told.   Be a safe listener.
iiTry that, iatid you will find that you have friends where-
ever you go.
Vhash And Censorship
■ -;At least 30 of the 46 state legislatures meeting this year
congider^d bills to increase control over comic books, magazines and paper bound books. Some of the material sold by
newsstands is certainly trash by any decent standards, and
oip. the face of it, passing more stringent laws seems like a
geo'd thing.
:;,',(:But the problem is not so simple as that. Though laws
Witft sharper teeth may curb some of the bad comics and
oth&r printed matter, they may also be an opening wedge
for censorship. That violates both the spirit and the letter
of the constitutional guarantee of free speech.
■:..- .The American Book Publishers Council is concerned
about attempted censorship by private groups which do hot
invoke the law but apply pressure on. individual dealers.
THe. book publishers fear that such groups, knowingly or in
ignorance, may halt the sale not' only of trashy comics and
magazines but books that have real literary merit..
•■..''..'An incident at the University of Kansas gives point to
this; fear> The Watson library there staged an exhibit of
twibks that have been forbidden in the past several centuries.
It/sites found that almost every volume in the University's
library had been banned somewhere, some time, for some
reason usually having nothing to do with the value of the
book.
■;,. ';That is something to think about when the subject of
how to control "bad books" comes up for discussion.
T
t^on-Recourse To Force
... Secretary of State John Foster Dulles has added a hew
phfase to world diplomacy. In his report on the work of the
ueiaeva Conference, Mr. Dulles said that our American foreign policy is based upon the principle of "non-recourse to
force" in world affairs.
-Without any effort to paint a rosy picture, both President Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles have, never-
heless, indicated a brightening of the world outlook. It
would be foolhardy to believe for a moment that the troubled
afreas of the globe have been in any way rendered less
dangerous.   They have become, momentarily^ess explosive.
!'•;••.-■ So long as Korea is divided artificially into a Northern
Cofamunist land, a free Korean Republic and Vietnam is
torSr between similar artificial bouhdries, there can be no
re^ letup in Asiatic tension. So long as Germany is split in-
to;|East $nd West and the Communist International maintains its organization under other names tnd devices in every
nation of the World for purposes of subversion, it would be
reokless and absurd for any Western power to let down its
gufcrd.
Let's keep, ttp-our hopes—and our powder dry.

Substitute Teachers
Aire Needed Says
.Supt. E. R. Malone
' The North Canton School's list
of  substitute teachers   is   being
, complete^ for the 1955-56 school
term, Superintendent E. R. Ma.
I lone announced today. Any person qualified by training and
certification who  will  be a vail -
• able on call is requested to file
j credentials with the Superintendent's office. Substitute teachers receive $12 per day.
—"fn 'this 'perlod-fltf t«aeher siren*-
age it is increasingly difficult to
secure substitute teachers, for
many who formerly substituted
have now taken permanent
teaching positions. The need is
most acute in the elementary
school since it isn't possible to
combine classes as is sometimes
done in high school.
A study of teacher absence
during the past school year
shows that more than 200 days
:of work for substitute teachers
were available.

Seventy Six Readers Complete Reading Program At North Canton Library
With renewed vigor from their recent vacations, Village
Council members passed a number of important ordinances
■at their Monday night meeting-.
The most important bills passed concerned the new Village Income Tax. and tiie Parking Ban.
The first ordinance to come up
up for discussion was the one
concerning the income tax. A request by a local concern brought
about an amendment to *ie ordinance before it was given final
reading and passed.
This amendment came in the
form of a sentence which was
added to section (A> under Article II, which said that there
shall be included as real estate
within and without the Village
respectively value of property
rented for business use determined by capitalizing annual rental paid for the use of such prop.
erty on an 8r# basis. This will
give a fairer consideration to
those bus.nesses that Just rent'
most of their property outside the
city, rather than owning it.
Along with this. Ordinance 1923
was passed setting up the rules
and regulations to govern the
new Village income tax.
Also Council empowered the
Mayor to hire Mr. Emerson Davis for the period of one year to
run the income tax business. His
job will begin officially the first
of October when he starts setting up the machinery and training the personnel to run the business.
In other action, the .couneilmen'
authorized Mr. Dav.s to go ahead
and advertise for loaner's equipment, to be used until th,eir own
machinery is shipped to them,
and to hire the necessary auditors and clerk - typists on an
hourly basis to begin working.
The tax will not go into effect
until January 1, 1956, but previous to that a physical survey of
the city must be made to determine the taxable persons. The
taxes will be withheld from the
pay by the employer just as the
federal income tax and social security are.
The Parking Ban Ordinance,
rescinded an earlier one passed
accepting the State's suggestion
of n0 parking from 4 . 6, by establish,ng no parking hours of
from 3:30 to 5:30, Monday
through Friday.
The no-parking area includes
North Main Street from the intersection of Portage and Maple
north to Charlotte Street and
I South Main from the intersection
of Portage and Maple south to
the alley at Lewis & Greenho.
I The fine for violation will not
exceed $5 plus towing charges.
I The ordinance goes into effect
immediately, but the Mayor said
that there will be a two-week
warning period when stickers
will be placed on those vehicles
parked in violation. After that
every violator W'H be fined.
The reason the Slate had suggested the hours. 4 - 6, was because of a survey taken counting
the number of vehicles go.ng
north and south on the road during the various afternoon hoars.
Their findings were: from 5-6,
490 cars traveled from South to
North and 491 from North to
South; 4 - 5, 572 went from South
to North and 465 from North to
South; and 3 - 4. 394 and 396 respectively.
However, Village Council felt
that the hours 3:30 to 5:30 wouid
be better to handle the Hoover
traffic.
The plan for the Paul Weber -
Lin'dlale Allotment No. 1 was tentatively approved by the Council.
This is one of the 250 allotments
on the 70-acre plot of ground annexed by ,tlhe Village last fall.
In other business, the Mayor
said that the new stop signs will
be put up at every intersection
just as soon as they have arrived.
John Swanson of Middlebranch
Road, who has enlisted for Technical School and Public Information, left home Friday, July 29,
for eight weeks basic training before attending the school at Fort
Knox. Kentucky.

branch High in 1952, he attended

and was on the winning basketball team last year.
