What Is Your Price?
What is your price?
Ask that of any man, and the chances are you'll get an
indignant answer "I. don't wear a price tag. I'm not for
sale."
But — unfortunately too many people have a price iof
some sort. They wouldn't take a money bribe — fewer people do than is realized. Hc'Wever, they do ask favors — and
return them. They don't speak out when they should, for
fear of offending someone of importance to them. They
don't want to "hurt people's feelings," by telling a bold unpleasant truth. They are willing to compromise with issues
in order to gain a point. They are warped by prejudices and
swayed by their likes and dislikes.
The man without a price, the incorruptible man, is a
man above price. He has an anchor in his principles. He
is not moved by fear or favor. He stands on truth as he
sees it, and he is strong in the hour of crisis. He is dependable in both small and large things. His word is good because it is never given carelessly.
The incorruptible man is not afraid. He will speak out
against evil wherever it exists. But he will .not condemn
his fellow man without due cause — and then never misjudge a group by the action or .opinions of one man. He
holds no unreasoning prejudices. He treats his fellow men
as individuals and respects their beliefs as he demands respect for his own. The only aristocracy he recognizes is
the aristocracy of character, of gitod thoughts and good
manners. He neither looks d'ow,n at or up to his neighbor.
He is tolerant of everything except intolerance.
Given a nation of incorruptible men and the world
could be a world at peace. The world will always follow the
S.tr.9ug.mait,Jand.the.injeQrruptibJi&;iijan has an inner strength

.He. is like the city founded upon a rock. The incorruptible
man is the honor, and the base, of a good community or a
great nation.
The opening of school last
week brought an increase of
200 pupils over the opening
enrollment in 1954. The enrollment figures as announced
by Superintendent E. R. Malone today showed a total of
1895 pupils in attendance.
Superintendent Malone had
earlier predicted a total of 1875
based upon pre-registration. A
comparison with the September
1954 enrollment show that the
elementary school Increased 129
and  the  high school  71.
To accommodate this increase,
it was necessary to change the
high school schedule so that one
hour periods could be held in the
morning when all laboratory
clashes as well as Home Econo-
r.i.cs and Industrial Arts could
be scheduled. The afternoon session is composed of five 45-min-
ute periods with only one half-
hour for lunch. Two additional
teachers were added to the high
school  staff.
In the elementary school, it
was necessary to increase the
size of classes. Th.s places especially large groups in grades
.two, five, and six- One additional
teacher was added in the elementary grades.
The increased enrollment also
affected bus transportation requiring -an additional bus. Six
beses are now operating to transport pupils.

What is YOUR price':
Small Gains First
In the light of recent history, it is probably well to be
wary of the "new .Look" in the Soviet Union's relation with
the West. It is on the side of wisdom to demand concrete
action toward settlement of some of the outstanding issues
that now threaten the peace, as proof that there is substance
behind the "new look".
Yet it is well not to overlook some actualities that have
resulted from the Soviet show of friendliness. The West can
be grateful that the Iron Curtain has been lifted, however
slightly, and that there is now some interchange of peoples
between the two great political systems of the world.
There is no doubt that people comparing the two systems will be impressed with the West. Whatever their
rank or ideology, visitors from behind the Iron Curtain
might be favorably disposed toward the freedom and abundance of any democratic nation, whether in Western Europe
or the United States, especially when compared with the restrictions and scarcities of their native .lands.
There is reason to be grateful, too, for the Kremlin's
slight relaxation of its controls over satellite states. As a
result the satellites appear to be in flux, not quite sure what
the future holds. Meanwhile they are establishing better relations with the West.
These may not be vast accomplishments, but they do
mean something. Slow progress is better than none. Because relations between East and West are so tangled, speed
is impossible. There is reason to be grateful for progress
made and to be patient, not expecting too much too fast, in
expectations for the future.

Live and Let Live
Drive slowly and live and let live, for little children it
means hack to school after a wonderful summer of playing,
swimming, camping and many other carefree and fun-filled
activities.
For father it means back on the job after one or two
weeks at the seashore, in the mountains or at any one o'f
thousands of vacation spots in the United States.
Mother is back to her kitchen after eating restaurant
food, or pike cooked by her husband or son over an open
fire, which away f,or the annual "getting away from it all."
For the older children in the family, it's now back to
high school, or college, and the renewing of old 'friendships
with classmates hardly thought of during the summer vai-
cation.
Yes, the little children now going back to school, or
starting in school or kindergarten, makes this the time of
the year when all drivers must use extreme care when driving not only near schools but anywhere children might be
traveling.
Many of the children will be traveling the streets, sidewalks and highways of our country on their iown, and many
of them will forget and dart after a bajl or try to cross
where and when they're not supposed to, five them a break,
don't be the one to cut short a young or an old life, for that
matter. Drive with extreme care.

Rather than go through the agony of making over, it was decided to remove the old frame

about one-third of the drugstore,
and build a completely new store
to serve the Company's growing list of 'customers.
The completed storeroom will
be a completely modern structure 30 by 120 with second, floor
iiiiice space. The interior.of the
hew store will be ultra modern
with the latest and best of drug,

Zion Lutheran Church

Zion Lutheran Church of North Canton has for some
time felt the need for additional space for a Church School
as well as the need for a larger Sanctuary. While Zion

church's needs purchased a 9
acre tract of land situated on the
corner of Portage Street and
Linday Lane.

able to build a new Church on
the property within the next few
years, a 'Building 'Fund campaign has been launched to raise
