Neeclec!: More Freedom and
Less Interference
Freedom Is The Difference
What is it about America that makes so many people
desire to come here to live? Is it our natural resources?
Is it our geographical position? Are we endowed with a
superior intelligence? The answer to these questions must
be "no,"
Why is it, then, that we in the United States have
made-moi*e progress than most of the other nations of the
world ?
You can study the question of the pi'ogress made in
America from any angle you wish, and you will always
come up with just one word — FREEDOM. The difference
in'the United States of America and all the other countries
in the world lies in the amount of freedom We have enjoyed.
First of all, our Nation has a form of government that
guarantees the individual rights of man — which make up
the-very fibre of FREEDOM. Our government does not
possess, the power to grant us these rights. It recognizes
them,as "inalienable" gifts from a power which is higher
than.'any civil government.
!.; It .should be worthy of note that ours was the first
government that ever took this exalted view of the individual.
/ Secondly, ours is a system which provides investors,
workers and. consumers with freedom of choice and freedom of opportunity.
.•■ • Ours is. a land in which the productive facilities of
our Nation are owned by the people, and not by the government.
Finally, purs is a.system based on the profit motive,
which gives the individual the incentive to do his best and
rewards,him according to his ability and his production.
Behind these basic principles which1 form the heritage
of each American citizen, there are certain basic assumption which we must also safeguard if we are to pass FREEDOM; on to future generations.
'First of all, there is the dignity of the individual. This
is/iiiiplicit ih the letter ahd spirit of our Constitution.
/ '-Next, the degree of our freedom depends upon the degree of our moral1 and ethical standards. If the vast majority of • Americans, suddenly were to ce&Se being honest)
out1; FREEDOM would have to be;;curtailed sharply. If the
VaSt majority of Americans suddenly were to cease b£-
lieving'Hn the individual dignity- of m&n, we all would begin
looking to the government for everything — and freedom
\v<J\ild b'e lost to a.paternalistic statism.
v FREEDOM 'is made up of such ingredients as human
dignity,' 'morality, individual' responsibility and ethical
standards—■ ^ingredients iii which the enemies of America
<io'Jnot believe. These are the elements of our heritage
which thby would ttdstrojr.

!Ehis is still true. The present rightist drive to make

Schneider Rd., stopped for thr
red light at the intersection. The
acci'dent happened at 12:10 p.m
Lena -Lenora Martin, 55, of
833 Valley Blvd. was eastbound

STARK
Hearing Set for Jan. 22
760 Acre Tract Involed
Tlie public healing on the petition to annex a 760-acre
tract which lies north of Portage and west of Pittsburg Rd.
to the City has been set by Stark County commissioners
for Jan. 22, 1964, at 10 a.m.
The petition. file;l Friday,
Nov. 15, contains the signatures
of 131 persons, approximately 60
percent of the Ireoholders in
;he area proposed to be annexed.
Clay Elson is agent for the
petitioners. Attorney Gus Zielasko filed  the  petition.
Slap Shows Boundaries
The accompanying map outlines the area involved which
runs west of tin- present corporate limits over to I.R. 77
aid north to Mt. Pleasant Rd.
• >n the Summit-Stark county
line.
Included in the 760 acres is
the North Canton Industrial
Park site, which already favors
two buildings under construction.
The largest section o f the
area, 460 acres, lies i n Jackson Township. The remaining
300 acres  is in  Plain Township.
The annexation would not
change the existing township or
school district boundary lines.
Many residents o £ the area
involved already pay City Income Tax to either Canton or
North   Canton.
Tax Rate Would Change
The personal property tax
rate would differ somewhat, but
an amount that cannot now be
determined because of the recently approved bond issues ,
school levies, and so forth. It
is estimated that had the section in question been inside the
City this year the tax might
have been as much a s 3.1
mills  higher.
The major difference is in
the school bonds and levies. All
those residing in the Jackson
School District would continue
to pay the tax rate for that
school  district.
To Get City Services
Some of the advantages for
the petitioners, would include
the extension of City services
to that area, including storm
and sanitary sewer lines and
police   and   fire   protection.
Most of the section already
has -North Canton  water.
The area, which was recommended for annexation by the
E'basco   Master  Plan,   would,   if

City, Airport Officials
Noise Problem
A close working relationship has been established by
North' Canton' offjeiafs and the administration department
of the Akron-Canton Airport.
Airport Supt. Mike Griffin detailed t h e airport's operation
and -plans for future expansion
in connection with the growth
of this City at. a meeting of
local and port key people' held
Monday^ night at the' 'airport
conference room. "•
He explained that the p o rt
terminal is the center from
which run six •fingers (the three
runways radiating;. from 'the
core).
: Each of the fingers, which
has. length and width, has a

: He showed how one finger
had-'been bent to keep planes

center of North, Canton. T h e
finger !,bent to 'the, south.;. brings
planes in over a' less densely
Vo'pltlated area and over portions earmarked for., -industrial

Loan Foundation Goes
Door-to-Door For
Money to Help Students
With the ever increasing demand for better skilled and
more highly educated persons, training beyond high school
is becoming a must.
The North Canton Area Chamber of Commerce, realizing the problem of financing education beyond the hij.-.h,
school level, earlier this year launched the Student Loan
Foundation of North Canton, Inc.
The loan foundation will be
ready t o any student in the
area as soon as it has some
funds.
To obtain these funds, the
foundation will conduct a door-
to-door  drive,   Dec.  2-11.
All those contributing $5 . o r
more become voting members
of the organization, recently incorporated on a non - profit
basis.
C. T. Bogardus, first president of the board of trustees,
announces that an initial goal
of $25,000 is sought. Announcement will be made in the near
future when the foundation will
start accepting applications for
student  loans.
The foundation constitution
provides that a student may receive Up to $300 per year. If
paid back within the first year
after quiting studies, there is no
interest charged. Interest the
.second year is 3 percent; the
third year, 4 .percent; and, 6
percent  thereafter.
Loans will be made on the
basis of need, ambition, intent
and  character.
The corporation is being operated by a board of 12 trustees,
with H. W. Hoover Jr. as honorary  trustee.
When the board had its initial meeting, Oct. 2, the following were elected.officers, in addition to Mr. Bogardus: Gus W.
Zielasko, vice president; Mrs.
Brooks iPpwell, secretary; and
Carl, J. DiRienzi, treasurer.

and Or.'L'ewis A. Snyder. ".'
Advertisements for an experienced qualified Ohio Registered Professional Civil ESigi -
,-ieer will appear this month and
next .month in engineering and
municipal   publications.
Mayor   -  Elect  Promised
This, one of the first attempts
by Mayor-EJect Charles Strausser to carry out, his campaign
promises, is being done with the
cooperation of Mayor George W.
Swindell and City Administrator
Chester L. Sterling.
North Canton had a full-time
engineer on the job only once
in the past. Robert V. Muckley
served the then village in this
capacity from 1948 until 1952 .
when LeiRoy Cooper and h i s
firm was hired as engineering
consultants.   '
Cooper's firm has served this
municipality since that time, as
well as sewing the towns of
Louisville and Minerva and private individuals and corporations.
More, Faster Service
The chief advantage to a full-
time engineer, Mr. Straus -
ser  points  out,   is   that  citizens
services and more immediato
action.
A City engineering depart -
ment, which will probably include' at least a draftsman, as
well as the engineer, is not
likely to cost less than the present amount budgeted for engineering.
However, for their money,
townspeople will be getting faster service and  more of   it.
Must  Be  Experienced
The engineer, who will be directly responsible to the Director of Administration, will need
to be a surveyor and will nee'd
experience in working with
streets, storm sewers, and other
City   facilities.
The City also is looking for
a man with experience in set-
tin tr up an engineering department, since the City does not
now   have one.
The engineer will be hired by
the mayor at a salary which
will b e established by City
Council.
The administration is currently looking for temporary quarters on City  property to locate
will    receive    more engineering  the engineering office.
