HIS GREATNESS WILL NEVER DIE :jr ■Vol.38 —No. 22 2 sections — 10 Pages NORTH CANTON, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1964 10c Per CSopy Annexation Necessary For Industrial Growth Heart Fund Residential Canvass Will Be Sunday Washington, Our Yardstick Washington's birthday is a national holiday—in spite of the fact that in the city named after him, they celebrate it with sales in all the stores. The Washing-ton Monument is the mecca of visitors—particularly of the young. Its lighted shaft is a beacon across the city. Mount Vernon, after many years of neglect, is a National Shrine—an idea emulated by would-be Washingtons. In line with the vogue for "realistic writing, many authors have attempted to 'debunk' those whom our nation has honored as great. (Many of these writers did not know that the Communist directive was to destroy national heroes of other countries.) But in spite of efforts to present a "realistic" Washington, no one has been able to "debunk" Washington. The most they could do was to say he courted a lady who maried another, that he -had false teeth, and that he was made Comander-in-Chief because his wife was wealthy and he would not need to be paid. But never were they able to defame his character, to question his integrity, to impune his loyalty or his wholehearted devotion to the cause for which he fought! Never were they able to point to .one single act determined by self- interest or avarice. Many there were in the new government, who sought to use it for their own aggrandizement. Not Washington. Many there were who found it—as have bureaucrats from the time of Cheops and his Pyramids—-ways to make money through speculation on information or on public funds. Not Washington. In the long years of war, there were those of faint heart who tried to hedge, that they might be protected whichever way the war went. Not Washington. Just as in the days of the French and Indian Wars, he had given wholeheartedly of himself for the protection of the Colonies,, so he' gave his all for the infant nation, born of those same colonies. When you stop to think of it, isn't it remarkable that those who would tear him down never found one act or speech which they could twist to his discredit ?> If they could they would have—but they could not find anything. Washington has endured as our greatest national hero, not only for what he did for the nation, but even more for his character—for his steadfastness in trials and tribulations, for his perseverance in face of seemingly insurmountable odds—and for-his incorruptibility. It is well for the nation that has such a hero—particularly if the citizens of that nation use as a yardstick in their judgement of leaders the qualities that made Washington great. 'JSpme' 1$ Its Life "Space" is the life of a newspaper. Every column inch of every copy of this newspaper costs so many dollars to produce, regardless of whether it is occupied by editorial matter or advertising. Knowing what that cost is, it may seem only natural that publishers would be inclined to increase earnings by devoting to advertising all of the space they coyld sell. Strange as it would appear, such is not the case. All recognized newspapers set quotas or precentages for productive material, and seldom violate them. Although the paper owns all of its^ space and can use it as it sees fit, it has obligations it will not avoid, for several very sound reasons. When this newspaper accepts subscriptions it is entering into a contract with its readers. An unwritten clause of that contract assures that the issues readers will receive will contain an established amount of news, editorials, features and advertising. There is another side, too, that the publisher keeps in mind. It is that of costs. To maintain qualified staffs, in both news and advertising departments* is expensive. It is increasingly so if the space each fills each issue fluctuates widely. Both 'sides' as they are called in most newspaper offices;, can occasionally turn out additional pages, by working longer hours. But they cannot do so at frequent intervals. It is to the self-interest of the paper therefore; to maintain a staff keyed to fairly rigid quotas of news and advertising. Any other merely increases the cost-per-column inch. Those who submit news, particularly publicity chairmen, should understand and remember this cost-per-inch fact. And when your club or group can profitably do so, isn't it not only good business but also neighborly, to reciprocate the newspaper's numerous gifts; of"space by' placing advertising in it., and renewing subscriptions^ . Forty residents of North Canton died of heart disease during 1962 (latest figures available I, Walter Mack, North Canton chairman for the Stark County Heart Fund, said today. Of these, Mr. Mack pointed out, 14 were stroke victims, while 26 suceumbe;' to heart attacks and other forms of heart disease. Tho current Heart Fund campaign, being conducted by the Stark County Heart Assn., is the main source of income for the fight against diseases of the heart and blood vessels. The Heart Fund drive reaches its high point this Sunday, Heart Sunday, when the residential door-to-door collection takes place.

Cities Can Offer Utilities, wth ni „ jr jriunneu Gro\ North Canton, like Massillon. is' unhappy with the Stark County commissioners' decisions to refuse annexation petitions, which would bring industrial sites into both municipalities. In both instances, public officials and civic leaders feel that both the cities and townships have been hurt, as well as the county and the state. In addition, there is a growing desire to have commissioners establish- a set policy regarding annexations, such as is found in Columbus and Franklin County. A.s it is at present, annexation petitions can meet all legal requirements and still be refused at the commissioners' whim. Those involved in drafting annexation petitions stand much expense in filing the petition and would like some set guide as to whether their investment of time and money wil) brins results. In the case of North Canton, the commissioners in announcing their "turn down'' Friday (local leaders and petitioners learned about the decision via radio broadcasts! did not question the legality of the petition; nor had the Jackson opposition. Commissioner Joseph T. Nisi. sai;| the Nortn Canton petition wa.s refused because "statements made at the hearing lead me to the opinion that the favorable comments were from Plain TownshSp. About 80 per cent of the Jackson Township residents voiced opposition. Therefore, I move to deny the petition.'' In the case of Massillon (its third consecutive annexation turn down). Commissioner Holland S. Anthony stated: "I don't think one freeholder should have the power to change the tax base of a township and a city."
