main True to Our Heritage
The American dream sometimes flickers like a candle
in the wind, but it is still the light of hope shining out into
the gredt area of darkness and poverty and misery which
still covers our great areas of this planet. Education and
business must share this heritage which has given the opportunity to develop along,lines not,duplicated anywhere
else in the world.
Thomas Jefferson said: "I know no safe depository for
the ultimate power,of society but the people themselves. If
we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take
it away, but to inform their discretion by education-"
We must remain true to our heritage while preserving
our institutions. We might ask ourselves how wei can maintain what we have and how we can move forward to even
jhigher goals without trying to force our way of life on
others and "without letting them force alien, systems upon
lis. '■.'''..''''
> The answer is not aggressive) or forceful promotion of
tthe American idea of democracy upon unwilling and unready nations. Nor can we sit complacently by and wait
)for the) storms of fear and envy to blow themselves out.
Somehow, we must find, ways of contributing constructively to the freedom of others so they will acknowledge
our freedoms. We must encourage) other nations, not by
trying to mold them after our image, but by pointing out
the) wellspxings of their own national genius for furthering the welfare of man.
We; Are involved in a test of our ability as free men to
meet thlei competition of slave states whose .people live in
economic, political, and military bondage of their masters
All over the .world the hungry and impoverished millions
gaze wp)h longing and envy,at our freedom and abundance.
Some of thejn even seem willing to destroy it in the "blind
hope that j*hey can take what we have and enjoy it themselves. JjIPhese people fail to realize that the genius of America is ii$* S?h#t it hag, Jbut what it is. They fail to understand ll^tjio^ .tnie wealth lies m the orderly, competition

most c*fe^uve .n^pn |he world has ever known.
THe'in^^ on the world
stage; must 'not be alk>wed to sap our strength or weaken
our co-^icjenee in ourselves and our institutions. If we are
locked in idealog-ical conflict of long duration, then we must
know where we standin order to maintain the strength of
our resolve.
America stands for one concept: the dignity of the individual hu^an being in the eyes of God. All other concepts, institutions, laws and beliefs pale into insignificance
beside i'tlus basically Western, fundamentally Christian, in-
altetrable .American idea; that the individual is in the center of'all. things and that he cannot make his maximum
contribution unless he is free to create through individual
choice.
Meeting Basic Needo
Once the landmark Social Security revision just ap-
proveidr'iby Congress is in fiilr* swing", it will -be possible to
say for the first time that American is providing for the
basic medicAl needs of its- older citizens. This will be a
notable .(j^.tewara the gppl of assHr^ng that ,otu\ influence
is used "to ul^^_wiite at least tne minimal physical well-
being bi^iM^W^s..
It,"dbe_"-tt£CR>ftow that we are moving rapidly toward
the we^r;e^t%» *!& some who oppose it would have us
think, 'laealm Iti^e inrbugh Social Security is not thato£t-'
invoked bungalow of the opposition, "socialized medicine."
It is, like the basic Social Security system itself, no more
than a means pf paying collectively over our working lifetime for some of the things all of us require when ":o$_* productive years are past.
No sensible man would hold that the new government
heialth insurance program is perfect. B"ftt the $ni*'X*Me .is
sound. The task, now will be to see how the program shapes
up in actuaj jjsfc) and to modify it if need be on the basis
of experience. '">"       "   •
There"is mttchIpreoedent for this. The basic Social Security sy&y-in: $!&|lf OKftW a good iexaniiple of how law to
promote thelgenevm welfare: can be mot$Red ix> make it responsive to cha_jjj$n£ requirements. It is the course we now
must take] asVintqu|gently and with as little special-interest
axe grind-igas possible.

Eighty Hear Patrino
Discuss Urban Renewal
"Urban renewal has pitfalls,
tout the advantages outweigh the
disadvantages. It is the best
program we have to date for
renovating our cities.'
'Anthony V. iPatrino,.manager
oi the urban renewafSaepart-
ment for the city of Akron, told
this to a group of more than 80
persons Thiirsday night, Aug.
12, at North Canton's second
Neighborhood (Forum on Urban
Renewal.
"'The cost of redeveloping rundown areas is too great for
private enterprise. Urban renewal offers a plan to make our
cities more attractive.
i ''Urfban renewal is a local
problem, locally conceived,
^planned and carried out. It is
a concerted effort by a community through its public and private resources to prevent and
correct obsolete areas," .he stated.
"The (Federal government
pays two-thirds or three-fourths
of the cost, as assistance to local governments which lack
sufficient funds.
'"'Post World War II changes
in residential and industrial
building in addition to the popularity of the automobile has
caused a movement from the
core of the city to the outskirts.
"These changes require an
immediate and drastic program
of redevelopment. Our fast
moving economy cannot wait
for private development while
obsolescences and .blight continue to spread," he said.
"Urban renewal is the basic
tool to deal with the challenge
of change. Its purpose is to remove slum, blight, and obsolescences, to improve environment, prepare land for redevelopment, and stimulate investment.
"It is a partnership between
.government and private enterprise," 'Patrino said.
Outlines.    Sequence
of Events
Sequents of eve-nts in a federally aided redevelopment plan
were listed as follows: an area
must first qualify for aid; an
acceptable plan'must be   map
ped by the city; and the Jocal
government must accept the
program.
Then houses and business
places are bought at fair -market value based on expert appraisals. iPeople are moved to
standard neighborhoods and are
paid relocation costs. The are-
is cleared, and where needed,
new streets, sewers, water lines
and street lights are Installed..
.Patrino said the improved
land is sold at fair market prices to qualified bidders and developers op to public ■agenclei.
The touyer must build according
to the Urban Renewal ^Man,
which must be approve*-! sfi$!fc'p
public hearing 'by the "PlATming
Commission and Council.
""The project thus results to
new jobs, new buildings, '*£trid a
better neighborhood, en-tolijlg a
city to meet the competltLpri
from other cities, to ^iBSerye|
its economic base and glfye ifc
citizens a "better environment?"!
Patrino concluded.

The local garden club entertained the judges at Topp Chalet following the exhibition.
Another point of view was exJ
pressed by Mrs. M. R. Haines,
612 Royer Ave. NW, who said
the first iknowledtge she had of a
lot behind her home being re:
zoned commercially was when
she was notified that her taxes
had been lowered.        ',
'R. S. O'Brien, 222 47th St.
NW, Canton, presented a letter
containing 30 signatures ol property owners on S. Main St.,
which &aid a change from commercial zoning would 'cause
heavy financial losses to them,
and lessen city tax revenue..
He urged a compromise, with
restricted "business allowed in
the area. '"It is too late to shu£
the door on business on S. Main
St.," he declared.
Mrs. Lofen L. Frick, 1205 S.
Main St. and Mrs. L. H. Wer-
-ley, 1115 S. Main St., said commercial developments in the
area prevent them from selling
their *properties for residential
■purposes.
Noise on S. Main St. makes
his $50,000 lot unsuitable -for
■apartments, E. C. Coldren, 1615
Logan NW, Canton, said. He
says he has an option for a motel on the property at the corner of James St. SW and S.
Main St.
Lawyer James E. Ritchie, 705
Deerfield Dr; SW, said Ohio
law does not permit holding up
of building and that zoning
changes can be appealed to the
courts.
He suggested formation of a
citizens' advisory committee to
debate zoning problems and
set restrictions on design?"
