THE AMERICAN WAY Vol. 38 — No. 9 2 Sections—12 Pages NORTH CANTON, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1963 10c Per Copy Residents of Northwest Section Petition for Annexation 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. I%Mtickuis At Work ,.'•' " *S'V<,. tSvvS. ,'.'■'■'.':•■: .. They knew a thing jor two in 1787, in the days of the Constitutional- (Convention. In discussing liow Congress should be choseriV'James Wilson of Feftnsylvania made a penetrating remark. WilSony-little-known today, was a delegate whose wisdom shaped rriuch of the Constitution as finally '.adopted. He reminded his hearers that "the opposition of the states to federal measures, had -proceeded.more from the officers of the states tiiaiv 'ft6m the- people." !Ehis is still true. The present rightist drive to make legislatures the third branch of government along with tlhe Resident;and Congress,, putting^the courts in an iri- ferior^p&Mtion, ,did not come frbnr popular demand.

We must imbue our youth with the knowledge of the richness of this, heritage thex are: now enjoying, and we must arouse within them a deterptiihatioja thai this heritage shall-not be lost. - This is pride" ©f patriotism. Ih every community throughout the land we must havi* patriotic demonstrations of true Americanism paraded before all our citizens to strengthen their faith and recharge their loyalty.

We must protect them with all our strength, .; . • , , v ^ .._ Let us never forget that aufrfee sbdei^,iSTiot{p&ssible and has never been possible without men and women working to gain it — and having 'g^HMitj-^msdiijn^^^Adyj stilling and abfe to niake sacrifices for its protection, _ Driver Whips Heck In One of Six City Accidents One driver was injured slight !y in one of six accidents in .estigated within the last week >y North Canton police. Ross A. Cahill, 65, ol 3i-' '.lower, complained of a k,in\ in his neck, after his .car wi- struck from the rear at 7 50 p.m. Nov. 13. The mishap occurred on N Main St., 200 feet south of th' Charlotte St. intersection. Mr. Cahill had stopped his car behind another stopped car when his car was struck from the rear by another, driven by Eileen R. iForres, 46, of 102;i Lois Ave. NW. A ladder toppled onto a car Iriven by Blaine James Calhoun of 2611 - 31-st St. Friday, Nov. 15, .causing $100 damage to his station wagon. The ladder had been propped against the DeMarsh 'Ford building and fell over as thr' Calhoun auto, westbound o r. 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 on W. Maple at 10:38 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 0.7, signalling a turn. Cora Ervelyn Hansen, 73, of 6969 Huckleberry R d., waiting at the intersection of Hillcrest and Maple to turn onto Maple, saw the approaching car, thr signal and pulled out, thinking the car was turning off onto Hillcrest. The Martin vehicle . headed for Royer St. and the Hansen vehicle collided. Michael A. Baum, 17, of 427 Emerson St. backed out of his driveway and hit a car parked across the street at 7:40 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 16. Owner of the parked car was John D. Friend, 29, of Massillon. The accident occurred on Emerson, 400 feet north of the Portage intersection. On Friday, Nov, 15, Gregory L. Juersivich, 21, of'240 Harmon St., had stopped at the Square for pedestrian traffic when his car was struck from the rear by another car driven by David Bruce Cooper, 16, of 101 Middlesworth Blvd. The accident'happened at 7:35 p.m. Two women drivers, backing their cars out of their driveways on opposite sides of the street met on Orchard Hill Dr., 100 feet southeast of Lipton Ave. Sylvia C. Bruegger, 41, b f Massillon had backed out and was stopped on the street, when a car driven by Anna Sara Nagy, 52, of 213 Orchard Hill SW came from the drive across the street and struck her auto. The accident happened at 3:30 p.m. Nov. 14. V"i SUM Ml 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 (Continued on page 7) City Starts Search For Full-time Engineer To ensure full-time engineering services for the City as soon as possible after the first of the year, the C ty is advertising now for applicants. .; '-^^Wl^'Bt ^^ ^r% ^"^ 9** PROPOSED ANNEXATION BOUNDARV Lehman Sweeps Tourney 'Lehman High School compiled 42 sweepstakes points t o •take first place in the individual events tournament held at Jackson High School Saturday, Nov. 16.

Dec. 2-11 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 $300 per year. If paid back within the first year after quiting studies, there is no interest charged. Interest the .second year is 3 percent; the third year, 4 .percent; and, 6 percent thereafter. Loans will be made on the basis of need, ambition, intent and character. The corporation is being operated by a board of 12 trustees, with H. W. Hoover Jr. as honorary trustee. When the board had its initial meeting, Oct. 2, the following were elected.officers, in addition to Mr. Bogardus: Gus W. Zielasko, vice president; Mrs. Brooks iPpwell, secretary; and Carl, J. DiRienzi, treasurer. • -Other/trustees faclude: Richard Arrif}$trong, William R. Willis, James R. Jester, Dr. Thomas B. Shi&lesy, Henrv Tobey, R_ Wade:. Norris, Mrs. Glen DeHoff 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. Girt Scouts Collect Christmas Items The Christmas Welfare Drive of the Elast Neighborhood SGirl Scouts will end Saturday afternoon, Dec. 7, with a program at the K of C Hall. Tlie. program, which will run .from 1 to 2:30, is beir.g planned by Cadet Scout Troop 43. Mayor George Swindell will present the gifts to Mrs. Robert. Hoffman, head of the North Canton welfare department.
