Commercialism
The Part We Play
Foreboding" developments in Latin America seem to
call for a reappraisal on the part of the West. These developments support the ominous deductions of many students of the southern continent's economy. Chief of those
deductions is that if the Reds take over in Latin America
it will be due to the unrealistic and almost willful blindness of the entrenched ruling classes than to Communist
initiative.
Thei'e has keen a crying- need for analysis of this
situation. Now a Saturday Evening- Post writer, James
Morris, has provided it. In an article dealing specifically
with Chile he draws conclusions equally applicable to much
c)f the rest of the continent. And his chief warning is
aimed at us, as American citizens.
After declaring President Kennedy's Alliance for Progress a sensible way to combat the Red menace, Morris
hazards that in spite of it a Communist takeover is in the
cards "unless we accept that the Chileans have, for example, every right to nationalize—at a fair price to the
owners—rthe vast American-owned copper concerns that
dominate the national economy; unless we stop branding
every liberal reformer as a Communist agent; unless we
learn, at least to concede Fidel Castro's enormous appeal
in Latin America and adapt ourselves to it; unless we
wake up to the fact that our opponents do not always win
by fraud but sometimes by a kind of back-of-the-hand,
under-the-counter merit."
This may not be pleasant reading, but the point of
view it expresses should be most seriously considered.
Though Morris deals largely with the short-sightedness of
the land owners, in the paragraph quoted he is talking
about, no one else but us. and- the myopia of our commercial
relations with our oppressed neighbors to the south.
Shed Your Blinders!
How do you read a newspaper? I think most of us
scan the headlines, look at our favorite comics and then—
if there is time left—turn to what particularly interests
us.
Do you ever read the letters to the editors? There are
times when it seems to me that the writers of the letters
wear blinders. They seem to be able to look in only one
direction. They see nothing either to their left or right.
Of course, maybe they are just writing to let off
steam. Or to go on record as to their views. But—if they
are trying to convince the readers, they better shed their
blinders and look around them!
There are always two sides to every story—and unless
you can see both sides—as well as straight ahead—you
can't hope to properly present your views, and to,convince
someone else that your view of the situation is the correct
one.
Be just as firm in your own convictions as you wish—
but don't let the blinders of prejudice narrow your viewpoint. And when you express yourself—and I hope you dc
stand up for your opinions—be sure you can see the sides
of the road as well as where you are going.
There is another thing I noticed about the letters. The
blinders the writers wore, evidently cut off the view of
their own goal—for they took more space condemning th
views and opinions of others, titan m stating their own
case. Their arguments ceased to have point and became
mere opinions.
Blinders may be all right for some animals—but they
ai'en't meant for humans!
Education For Women
Rising costs of higher education have pointed up the
dilemma that confronts parents who must choose between
sending a son or daughter oh to college. In such situations
it is generally the son who is chosen.
The reason for this is apparent. The parents know that
the son will in all probability be a wage earner for life,
while the daughter is likely to marry and center her in
terests in home and children.
Yet is is extremely unfortunate that gifted young
women may, because of financial limitations, be denied the
right of a college education given to their brothers. A
woman, whether married or not, can often make good use
pf professional or career training. She may at some time
have to support herself, or even her husband. If widowed,
she may have children to rear and educate. Higher education may be enormously helpful in such cases.
There is another compelling argument in favor of
higher education for women, an argument often overlooked.
It is women who are primarily responsible for the upbringing of children. Without doubt many a fine mother has
had no more than a grade school education, and self education is possible. But if a college education broadens horizons
$nd teaches higher values—and if it doesn't, it ought to—
then society loses out in failing to give higher education
\fi those women who are capable of receiving it and of
jtasfeing.its benefits on to - their children*
Nativity scenes, advent
wreaths, decorated trees,
candle-lit windows, a jolly
Santa .Claus, snow-covered
streets, choirs singing, a
plum pudding in the oven—
all this spells Christmas.
And, North Canton knows
how to spell CHRISTMAS
with capital letters.
On display at the North Canton Little Art Gallery are IS
reproductions of paintings by
world-famous artists on the subject of 'Je»us_ Several of these
give the ai\i'st',s interpretation
of that Miracle so long -ago in
Bethlehem. Others portray oilier significant events in the life
of Christ.
Churches 'throughout the city
have planned special Christmas
programs and are outlining final details for Chrisrma. Eve

Meanwhile, other organizations

spiritual meaning of Christmas,
