'East Side, West Side'
Theme of Water Show
"East Side, West Side" will be the theme of the
North Canton YMCA synchronized swim class water
show set for next Friday and Saturday, Aug. 15 and
16 at the pool on Hower St. NE.
A Community Challenge
What makes a slum? That first broken window? Or the door off its hinges? The gutter that
was to be repaired tomorrow, or the other little fix-up
clean-up jobs that were never done?
When pride gives way to neglect—when homes
become just houses, when people become careless and
let Jitter accumulate, the seeds of slums are being
sown. The dividing Jine between a thriving community and a deteriorating one is a matter of pride.
American industry for years has encouraged
community improvement through its "Keep America
Beautiful'" campaigns. The Federal Government has
also initiated several programs to encourage this objective.
Slum development is a local problem. It is up to
each one of us to have sufficient pride in our neighborhood to keep up each piece of property, and encourage the refurbishing of those areas suffering
from  man-made neglect.
How do we eliminate slums? Tne first answer is
to overcome the indifference of the people.
No Pain Lasts Forever
"No pain blasts forever." That was one of my
grandmother's pet sayings when any suffering had to
be faced, whether it was a baby a-borning, to her
daughters, or a bee sting on a grandchild.
"No pain lasts forever." Once years ago I told
that story to a man who was to. be operated upon, and
who was afraid. I added to it—"Tomorrow it will be
over. You will either be free from pain forever, or the
pains will prove that you are pulling through." A
week later he had someone phone to say that thought
had carried him through.
The line doesn't mean physical pain only. There
are much worse pains we humans have to learn to
endure.
There is the pain of loss of those we hold most
dear. There is the grief of separation. There is the
ache of the betrayal by a friend. '-There is the deep
disappointment at the failure of some long cherished
plan. There is the keen regret at the opportunities we
have missed, the work we have left undone.
But none of these pains can endure forever.
Sooner or later they will, come to an end..
Just as the body finds compensation or new skills
after surgery, so the mind finds its compensation in
deeper understanding of the griefs of others, in a
heart open to another's need, in a freedom from over-
striving and over-straining, in a willingness to wait
for the fulfillment of the alloted course of time.
But the greatest compensation comes in renewed
faith in God. We mortals cannot see the end from the
beginning. We cannot fathom the Great Plan for our
lives. Suffering may have been the way in which our
spirits have been honed to perform some special task.
If we have faith, we will wait the fulfilling of the
law. We know that God is Good. That is the one fixed
point and it is from that focal spot that we must
work.
And, at the end, in the words of the old hymn:
"Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh
in the morning."
Too Many Uncollectibles
The average citizen who doesn't fork over what
the government says he owes in income tax soon
finds that, one way or another, the government is determined to get its money. And in most cases this insistence pays off: the taxpayer, willingly or reluctantly, settles up for principle and interest.
On the face of it, there can be no legitimate objection to this. That is, it seems evident that every
.citizen should pay his just tax obligation.
A lot of citizens who have felt the long arm of
Internal Revenue must be feeling gx'im, however, over
the disclosure that last year the IRS wrote off as
"uncollectible", income taxes totaling $326,787,000.
They must be wondering how Uncle Sam's concern
for their few hundred dollar jibes with the fact that
some of the sums deemed "uncollectible" were in the
multi-million-dollar class.
Failure to collect apparently does not indicate favoritism; the villain seems to be delay in forcing delinquents to pay up, delay during which they become
unable to do,so. Tne IRS should speed up collections,
especially Where delinquency involves large sums
collectible from people in wobbly financial condition.
The show will be held both
evenings at 8:30 p.m. with Sunday, Aug. 17 set as rain date
for the event.
The show will highlight 12
cities in the United States. They
will include Chicago; New Orleans; Cape Kennedy; New York
City; River City, Iowa; Washington D. C.; St. Louis, Mo.;
Tombstone, Ariz.; Paducah,
Ky.; Sarasota, Fla. and Canton.
A solo will be presented by
Kathy Kaufman on the last city,
San Francisco.
Preceding the show will be
a demonstration by the tiny
tot swim classes held at the
Y for youngsters 3 and 4 years
of age.
The 35-member cast has been
holding daily practices during
the week from 9 a.m. until
noon.
The show is under the direction of Allyn Peterson of Kent.

Planners Hear
Request For A
New Substation
A request from Cal Carlini,
director of operations for Ohio
Power Co., to construct a power
substation on Whipple Rd. NW
at the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad intersect was heard by:.
North Canton Planning Commission Monday night.
Action on the conditional use^..
permit request for the 3.12
acre tract had to be delayed
till the commission's Sept. 2
meeting due to the vacation
absence of three of the five-
member panel.
Commission chairman Russell Youtz asked commission
secretary, Lester Braucher, to
notify adjacent property owners
of a public hearing on the request set for Aug. 25 at 6:30
p.m. in council chambers.
Load growth, both residential and business, in this area
makes the additional substation
necessary to insure load capacity, Mr. Carlini said in his
presentation. It would carry a
69,000 volt line into the transformer, which would be constructed within a 90 by 120
former, which would be constructed within a 90 by 120
ft. site on the tract.
Mr. Youtz also deferred until
the Sept. 2 meeting a request
for a zone change on Outlot
194, the vacant area just west
of North Canton Recreation on
Applegrove Rd. NW.
Schaub Electric was seeking :
the change from single family:
zoning to retail business for
the construction of an office-
warehouse at the location.
Their request will go before
City Council when it meets
Monday, Aug. 11, at 7 p.m.,
for the setting of a public hearing on the zone change.

College Survival
Seminar Aug. 11-13
Prof. William Slaughter of Purdue University has
been .selected to conduct the "How to Survive in College" study-skills seminar set Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, Aug. 11, 12 and 13 at Walsh College. Tlie
course, sponsored by the Nortli Canton Jaycees, will
be held the three nights from 7 to 10 p.m.
The course is designed to
cover such topics as finding
key ideas, ten kinds of reading,
lecture note-taking, surviving
dull lectures, the "silent" language, listening pitfalls, surviving distractions, scheduling and
preparing for tests and examinations.
Mr. Slaughter, instructor of
English, is a member of the
lecture team of Anacomp, Inc.
the Indiana based consultant
firm that conducts the "How
to Survive in College" course
annually throughout the United
States and Canada. It has been
shown that one out of four
college students drop out during
their freshman year and one
out of two leave college before
their senior year.
"Reasons for this problem,"
Mr. Slaughter explains, "include lack of motivation, lack
of study skills and the students
lack of knowledge about
himself."
"Students do not drop out of
college because of lack of Intelligence or inadequate high
school    training.    They   are
screened by this by college
admittance officials," Mr.
Slaughter added.
Thus based on a course that
was originated at Perdue University in 1956, students car
be taught to remain in college.
The seminar is equivalent to
three weeks of college level
instruction.
Those Interested in the
course may contact Dr. Wayne
Lutzke at 832-8996, Lee.
Spencer at 494-9430 or may
register at the door.
Fees for the course may
be sent to the North Canton
Jaycees at Post Office Box
2242, North Canton or at the
door.
Moving here from Glendora,
N. J., their hometown, are Joyce
and James J. Cavalieri. They
now reside at 721 E. Maple
St.
Mr. Cavalieri attends Walsh
College, while his wife is employed at The Peoples Merchants Trust Co.
They attend St. Paul's Catholic Church.

match and obedience trial. The show will be held at

about $9,000 is in the treasury
according to Charles T. Bogardus,  foundation president.

loans in the past," Mr. Bogardus stated, "and we will
be unhappy if we cannot meet
all of these requests from deserving students."
In the recent campaign $7,100
was raised. Donations may be
sent to the Chamber of Commerce office at 126 S. Main
St..
