Faith Methodist Builds Own House of Worship
First WordsFrorn TheMoon
Most of us, probably, will live to see the day a man
first steps on the surface of the moon and switches on his
radio transmitter to tell a waiting Earth that he made
it safely.
What, exactly, will he say?
What will that first message from the moon be? As
the astronaut flicks his transmitter switch he will be aware
that his next words will be remembered for centuries. Will
he take the opportunity for some personal or national
chest-thumping? Or will he simply announce that the men
of Earth, with God's help, have leaped successfully into
the heavens?
The Rev.* Carlton Allen, a former Air Force Chaplain,
asked and answered the question in a sermon to his congregation in New Jersey recently.
As vividly as any science fiction writer, the minister
imagines the first space flight. The understanding wife of
the astronaut hands him as he leaves home a card on
which is typed, "If I ascend into the heavens Thou art
there. Psalms 139:8."
The astronaut soars away — and as he looks across
the face of the moon in wonder and prepares to land,
he hears a message:
"Across these dusty plains and in these towering
mountains, there is not, and never has been, the slightest
stain of sin ior evil. No lie has yet been told in this silent
world. These, rocks are unstained by the blood of war.
This' is the- purity of the universe as it was when it left
the mighty hand of God."
The astronaut looks around him, turns on his transmitter and speaks not a message but a prayer. Read the
minister's sermon, which has been printed in the May
issue -of- the- Reader's Digest, and we think- you'll agree
it's the only thing a man could say at a time like that.
Why See America Last?
That wartime excise tax on all domestic passenger
transportation, first imposed by Congress in 1941 to discourage travel by those who weren't obliged to go somewhere, is still effective. Eliminated on travel to foreign
countries in 1956, it has been, and still remains, a potent
factor in the foreign ti-avel boom and the "See America
Last" philosophy.
It may be recalled that this tax was first levied at five
percent, boosted to ten percent in 1942 and to 15 percent
in 1944. Ten years later, it was cut back to ten per cent.
Last year the Senate voted overwhelmingly for its full
repeal, but niff-nav^ing in the House resulted in a compromise — reduction of the travel excise from ten to five
per cent on July 1st, this year. But this leaves the job
only half done.
It continues to depress the travel industry, the air,
bus and rail lines, in many cases cutting taxable earnings
to the point where the Government loses more in income
tax than it gains from the travel tax.
As matters stand, a pig can travel from coast to coast
tax-free. So can cats and dogs. But,, we invite Congressmen
to note, voters can't! And it should be noted thete still
are a lot of voters (three out of ten families, according to
one survey) who must rely on public earners or stay at
home — and thus must pay a luxury tax on an essential
service. Another anomaly is the fact that Pacific Coast
travellers to Europe may proceed tax-free over the North
Pole, but are taxed to ride their own country's planes and
trains to eastern seaports.
Elimination of this evil that is choking off revenue of
private carriers* forcing curtailment of passenger services
and threatening ultimate strangulation of all railroad passenger operations is urged by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, the Civil Aeronautics Board and the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee, as well as by more than
100 business organizations. On the Senate side of the
Capitol are four bills to accomplish this laudable purpose —
with no less than 43 on the House side! And the time for
action is plainly now!

Fishing For Votes
On the banks of the Potomac these sunny June days,
members of Congress are cutting up the bait they will
use in fishing for votes later in the season.
Many of them, apparently, feel the best way to entice
voters is with big spending programs that include something for everybody. Aid to education, postal and civil service pay increases, aid to depressed' areas, aid to housing,
health insurance for people over 65, benefits for post-
Korea veterans — these are the programs with which
the legislators hope to pull in the votes.
Expensive bait it is, too. These are no one-shot projects
that can be paid for and done with. These are continuing
programs that will add billions of dollars to American
tax bills, not just next year, but every year afterward.
Many Congressmen seem to think that the voters will
forget — as they have done before — that these programs
must be paid for in taxes and that the people who pay
taxes are the same ones who vote.
It's an odd situation when fishermen expect the fish
to pay for the bait,
where   you
questions.
Written questions will be answered in thc weekly column
published in the North Canton
Sun. Members of the Charter
Commission will provide the answers.
j In addition to charter questions, voters are invited to ask
about   voting   registration     and
. regulatons, candidates, and issues. Members of the North Canton Republican Committee will
be on hand to provide the answers.
Republican candidates for dis.
trict and County offices have
been invited to attend so that
North Canton voters will have
an opportunity to meet and talk
with them.
Lawrence R. Sannes is chairman of the committee's booth
arrangements. He is being assisted by Richard G. Waltenbaugh, Mrs. Peter O. Rodemeyer, Richard D. Weirich, Gilbert
F Smith, Robert E. Mylett, Mrs.
Paul B. Baxter and Harold T.
Duryee. Mrs. G. K. Obenin is
in   charge  of hostesses.
Judge William A. Morris, local Republican chairman, stated
that this is the third year the
committee has participated in
the fair. "Each year we have
built on the theme of Service
to Voters," he said.

Fisherman's Luck
"And what is so rare as a day in June?" Can't you
guess.
That fish which Dennis Kendall (left) and Butch
Wearstler are holding measures 17 inches long*. He was
hooked at the fishing pond off Schneider Rd. south of North
Canton — and  by first-time fisherman Dennis.
The large mouth bass is one of the biggest ever caught
down there — and after only about an half-hour of fishing.
The boys caught the prize fish along with six blue gill,
Wednesday morning, June 1.
Dennis is the eight-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Norman
Kendall of 228 Schneider Rd.
Ten-year-old Butch is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth
Wearstler of 203 Ohio Ave.
Their fishing pal who took the six blue gill home was
Dennis' brother, Kenny, who is seven.
Dennis told this reporter he was going to clean the fish
himself. -
