fa&fffig?. We Kid Ourselves There is a good deal of evidence that the American people are kidding themselves about China. With regard to this Communist-governed nation of some 700 millions, Americans have for,many years indulged in wishful thinking. Information about failures of the Peking government has been exaggerated. When the "great leap forward" stumbled, one would have thought the downfall of the regime was imminent. Agricultural disasters, and the consequent purchases of Australian and Canadian wheat, were hailed as the beginning of the end. ■ By the same token, hopes for collapse of the Peking -dictatorship have led us to minimize or even pretend not to notice the striking economic advances made under the Chinese Communist government. Little has been said in the United States about Peking's successes, which are considerable even though the living standard is still not within shouting distance of iours. There has been a tendency to ignore the rising interest among our allies — notably Britain, West Germany and Japan — in trade with mainland China. All this springs in part from our lack of information about China. For years we have had no reporters there; we have depended on crumbs of information picked up by correspondents from other countries. The less information availableH.to-.Americans, the more vulnerable they are to wishful thinking about China. .-. -.• As in other situations, wishful thinking does no good and; may do epormous harm. We cannot afford to kid ourselves about China, to pretend that the regime is weakening, to suppose that the threat of Communist China will dwindle and go afay. China is a fact. We need to know more about it, to think hard about it, to deal with it in some tiior6 Effective way than our present head-in-the-sand attitude allows. Space Competition Vol. 37 — No. 44 2 Sections—12 Pages NORTH CANTON, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 1963 10c Per Copy Charter Change There are pitfalls in trying to remember the words of a song one has not attempted lately, but recollection says that one bit of singing dialogue starts like this: "Anything you can do, I can do better." Which brings the rejoinder, "I can do anything better than you." That is the way things are between the United. States and Russia so far as space flight is concerned. Ever since Sputnik I, the world's only two nations with space capability have engaged in a race whose theme song might be that reiterated line, "I can do anything better than you." The flight of Gordon Cooper 22 times around the planet and the Russians latest flights which included the first woman in space is the latest case in point. First the United States and then Russia make the claim, with some justification, that each did it better. Cooper's multiple orbiting was a superb example of highly skilled teamwork. It brit- liantly sets the stage, for the projected Gemini two-man orbital flight, schedulied for late 1964. There was little doftbt but that the Soviet Union would take up the challenge^ and do something spectacular between then and our first emitti flight. And now that the Russians have had their innirig,.it is ibur turn again. This is not a badi thing; Competition doubtless sharpens the edge of our space'effort. It would be a pity, however, to thifjksof,:agaee development wholly in competitive terms At the preserij; stage, that seems to be necessary. The ra.ce involves Tl^tSiBiial prestige, and to some extent potential military, advantage. But one can hope that the day will come when tHe, exploration of space will foe a cooperative undertiikii% 6f many nations. The magnitude of the task, once the Ulnar stepping stone has been reached, may yet make that 'mandatory. A B&h^mce Deleted It iis reported that -when President Kennedy delivered his adm*essvat£&n Diego State College on the nation's educational problems he deleted the following sentence from his advance test: "Our goal must be an educational system in which every child, whether bom a banker's son in a Long Island mansion, or Negro sharecropper's son in an Alabama cotton fielcl,, has every opportunity for an education that his alkalitife and character deserve." We do not.know why the President left out this sentence. 'Ferlipps time was running short; perhaps he felt that this statement of a nation's educational goal was a bit too broad-gauge;,perhaps it struck him. that the passage more or lfegs repeated what he had already said. Whatever the reason for deletion, the sentence Mis Kennedy left out of his speech can be taken as an excellent summation of'what ought to be, whether or not it really is, our national goal. This is the concept on which our system of universal education rests, that every child must be given "every opportunity for an education that his abilities and character deserve." •rhat is what the public school system is all ahout. There/is no room for the notion that some children are entitled to a better education than others. Some get a better education; than, others, because the system does not work perfectly. But the ideal is that all shall have equal ppportunitjrto realize their full gptentiah Branch Library Plans Special Family Program "'Family Night" will be held at the Creentown Library, 'Fridays, July 26 and Aug. 2, announces Mrs. Sara Lee iDonze, children's librarian in North Canton. The two-night event, while aimed primarily at introducing the facilities of the new branch library to adult residents of the Greentown area, is open to all ages from 7 to 7:30 p.m. The program, explains Mrs. Donze, will include hook talks, story-telling discussions and, for those who desire it a short course on how to use the library. There have been 71 new registrations, in addition to the transfers from North Canton, since the 'branch library opened more than two weeks ago, Mrs. Donze reports. Police Arrest Four (Four persons were arrested within the last week by North Canton police. (Persons arrestee and their charges are a.s follows: On Monday July 22, Clarence W.

Park Work Days Set for Weekend Board Approves Millage For School Bond Issue 'The Nortii Canton Board of Education, at its regular meeting Thursday, July 18, approved the millage for the $990,000 bond issue, which will appear on the Nov. 5 ballot. The proposed issue is "for capital development to provide facilities for the growing school population." The formal resolution, a'dopted unanimously by the board, accepted the 1.5 mills estimated by the County Auditor to provide the amount needed. These funds would be used to purchase property, to remodel ancl expand present structures and to furnish and landscape extensions. 'Plans are being developed for the following: 1. Classroom wing at Hoover Market Ave. Collision Hospitalizes Five Five persons were hospitalized following a two-car crash just north of the intersection of Schneider Rd. and 'Market Ave. Monday at 3:10 p.m. All, five were residents of the Hartville area.

The Charter amendment, if passed, would change the membership on the Planning Commission and on the Zoning and Building Board of Appeals to five qualified electors with a member of Council and the Director of Administration as non-voting members serving in an advisoiy capacity. The Charter now designates membership as a Council member, the Director of Administration, and three electors. At a recent Council meeting, Councilman Russell Youtz pointed out that he had two votes on any issue recommended by the Planning Commission —his vote on Hie Commission and his Council vote. Other Council members and the Director of Ad ministration have this game dual vote, he said. Studied by Original Drafters Members of the original Charter commission who were asked by the Mayor to study the inequity, decided to recommend the change to Council. The new commissions would be appointed by the Mayor for initial appointments of one, two, three, four and five year periods beginning Jan. 1, 1964, if the measure passes in the November election. Appointments will be made for five-year periods in succeeding years. The amendment requires that the appointees hold no other municipal office or employment or membership on any other board or commission established by Council.

You want a park to call your own? There are 20 acres of park land at the end of W. Maple St. Each and every citizen of North Canton is welcome to have a share in the city facility. This Saturday, and Surtday, July 27 and 28, the North Canton JayCees, who have developed a plan for the park, will sponsor an "All Citizens Work Day" at the site. Citizens old or young, are invited to join the crew. Come anytime, stay as long as you like. Work will .continue from 9 a.m. until dusk. Chief task will be to clear the land - cut down trees, clear out weed growth, and so forth. There's a job for everyone. Picnic tables are already set up - come work, eat, and work some more. Idea for the work days, according to Ken Dansizen, JayCee spokesman, was developed after many, who did not have money to contribute, asked how they might help in the project. Also cooperating with the JayCees in preparing the site as a family picknicking_ area with closed and open shelters, picnic tables, fireplaces, ball and horse, shoe courts, children's play area, parking facilities fishing and other activities, are the Senior Citizens and North Canton Garden Club.

Chief task will be to clear the land - cut down trees, clear out weed growth, and so forth. There's a job for everyone. Picnic tables are already set up - come work, eat, and work some more. Idea for the work days, according to Ken Dansizen, JayCee spokesman, was developed after many, who did not have money to contribute, asked how they might help in the project. Also cooperating with the JayCees in preparing the site as a family picknicking_ area with closed and open shelters, picnic tables, fireplaces, ball and horse, shoe courts, children's play area, parking facilities fishing and other activities, are the Senior Citizens and North Canton Garden Club. A lagoon, which will be developed by the Sideliners Clu b. will be used for skating in the winter time. Jack Sponseller and Keith Zas- trow are in charge of the work sessions. Carl Wise is general chairman of the JayCee park project. Duryee Steps Down The annual convention on the Ohio League of Young Republicans met last weekend in Columbus. Harold T.
