She'd Better Find Out!
lake an old woman wiho lived in a shoe, America
is confronted with a population explosion. By 1975,
we will be a nation of 209 million people. And, like
the old woman, we won't have enough of the precious
element needed for survival and growth—water—
unless the public takes the proper action.
Why not? Today, we use water at a terrific
rate. Every day, enough water is used to flood the
entire state of Rhode Island with a foot of water.
We're using more water in our homes. Appliances
such as dish washers, clothes washers, garbage disposal units swallow up gallons in seconds. Even your
morning shower uses up five gallons of water a minute.
We're using more water in industry and agriculture, too. Manufacturing just one ton of steel takes
about 70 thousand gallons. One cow in a dairy herd
drinks 20 gallons of water daily. Crop irrigation
uses up billions of gallons more each day.
Yet ironically, the nation's biggest problem is
not the lack of water itself. We lack reservoirs, transmission ines and water pumps. As the National Water Institute points out, most communities today are
using equipment that was barely adequate twenty
years ago. The sad result, according to a survey, is
that in a recent year water was rationed in over 1,000
communities, and a good many of us wouldn't have
had enough water available to put out a serious fire
on a hot summer day.
In some communities, however, the picture is.
brighter. Imaginative joint action on the part of local
water utility men and government officials has resulted in arousing communities to ijhe need for maintenance awdr Ittip^vementof *w&te* stij^;Y$t8a^
have responded .,jt&, voting for bond issues to finance
needed improvements!
In other towns, this important issue becomes
buried at the bottom of a ballot. Through indifference or fear of extravagant spending we vote "no."
We forget that a postponed problem is never solved-
Water is essential to our welfare. It's essential
to urban communities seeking to attract new industries; to rural areas seeking greater crop productivity. It's essential for our personal health and that of
our children.

Standard Of Values
The perceptive American has long sensed that
some of the "values" ihe accepts as a part of modern
living coufd be considered less than exemplary. Some
of these values under a cloud have been labeled: job
prestige, competition for individual status, and so
forth. This general Idea has been articulated in such
works as "The Status Seekers," and "The Organization Man."
Now it seems the relocated American Indian is
finding difficulty in adjusting to these discredited
values. T|he Bureau of Indian Affairs, in a recent report, points out that "job prestige" matters little to
the Indian brought from the reservation into the
city. He tends to value instead the simple virtues of
generosity, wisdom, freedom, loyalty. Finding these
to be less than preeminent in the thoughts and actions of his neighbors, he is understandably puzzled.
The commentary would be a sad one if progress
and the American dream were to wind up leaving
precious human attributes in discard. But it may not
be as bad as all that—yet! Unless we have been
hopelessly seduced by our material possessions, the
nobler values have not been forgotten, but merely
overlaid by things physical. Tjhe calf of gold may
once again become tarnished, as people weary _ of
seeking material things look inward to find the richer rewards within themselves. Wisdom', freedom,
generosity and loyalty may once again come into their
own.	
Neglected Statesman
Of the three founders of the Democratic party
two, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, are well
known. The third, Albert Gallatin, is almost forgotten. A fresih assessment of his importance comes to
light in a biography written by Frank Ewing.
Gallatin was a Swiss who emigrated to this country in 1780. Settling in Western Pennsylvania, he
served in the legislature, in the Constitutional Con-;
vention of 1787, and in Congress. When Jefferson
was elected president he wanted a secretary of the
treasury as able as Alexander Hamilton. He chose
Gallatin, who served under Jefferson and Madison for
13 years, the longest tenure in history in this office.
His European acquaintance caused (him to be
drafted for diplomatic work. He was largely responsible for the Treaty of Ghent, which ended the War
of 1812. He may have inspired the Monroe Doctrine,
whose author is generally held .to be John Quincy
Adams. The solution of our boundary disputes with
Great Britain over Maine and Oregon followed lines
laid down by Gallatin. He was a pioneer anti-slavery
man.
He was also, after Jefferson, the master strategist of the Republican party of his "day, now the
Democratic party. After Jackson came to the fore,
Gallatin took Httle part in politics, yet when he was

their property be included in
the rezoning to permit group
development of the entire tract
when a buyer is found.
Planning Commission members said they had originally
understood that the latter two
property owners had no intention of selling their homes at
present. Y
Attorney Jacob F. Hess, Jr.
said the owners hope to find a
developer of apartment unit-
limited to eight dwelling units
per acre and two stories in
height.
The new Planning Commission recommendation approves
rezoning of the entire area
which is bounded by S. Main
St., Easthill St. SE; Northfleld
Ave. and Knoll St. SE., but

Milestones Recalled By
NC City Hall Dedication
This communitys 166-year history will be recalled when the new $1 million City Hall is dedicated at
11 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 18. Plans call for a short
ceremony that will include a talk by a public official-,
a public luncheon at the Imperial House and tours of
the building. John D. Hawkins is dedication committee chairman.
The new building replaces
present facilities built in 1926.
A new fire station is being built
on N. Main St.
History of the area begins
when the Henry Friday family
moved here in 1805 and the first
child — a girl was born to the
Hugh Cunningham's.
The first cabin was built in
New Berlin, as North Canton
was named, in 1815. Henry Hoover opened a distillery in 1820.
In 1831 the first survey was
made and lots were laid out
in the center of the village by
Samuel Bachtel. He was hired
by John Hower, the first blacksmith.
The first post office was
built in 1832. William H.Hoover
began manufacturing horse collars in 1865 and William McKinley made his first "stump"
speech here in 1867.
A brick school house replaced
a frame building in 1867. In 1881
the population had risen to about
400. The school still used as a
foundation for Portage School
was built in 1888.
New Berlin was incorporated
Nov. 21,1905 with W. H.Hoover
as the first mayor and a population of 1,150. The volunteer

fire department was organized
in 1906. Water works, sanitary
sewers and street lights came
in 1913 and the first automobile
service station opened in 1915.
The streets were paved with
brick in 1917.
The village's name was
changed to North Canton in 1918.
The first Community Building
was erected in 1923, the Library
opened there in 1928. North
Canton became a city in 1961.
The "DeHoff Agency at 821
St. Main St. will be showing-off
: ite^_e-^n_ing hew real estate offices during an open house
planned for Sunday, Dec. 12,
from 2 until 7 p.m.
The Agency won two first
place awards for both exterior
and interior competition in the
annual contest sponsored by the
Ohio Association of Real Estate
Board.
Founded 10 years ago in North
Canton, the DeHoff Agency is
headed by Glenn F.DeHoff, president; Mrs. Ardls DeHoff, his
wife, vice-president; and Robert DeHoff, their son, secretary-treasurer.
Some 20 salespersons are
employed in North Canton and at
a sales office in Reeves Bank
Building in «Dover.
The new office was opened two
months ago in the home of the
late Frank G. Hoover, author of
"The Fabulous Dustpan", ahis-
■ tory of the Hoover Co. and early
North Canton.
'AfTll rooms were repainted,'
repapered, carpeted and completely furnished to include offices, sales and conference
rooms. The acre lot was landscaped and parking for some 30
cars is hidden from view. The
decor is Williamsburg and
Georgian style.
The agency deals in residential, commercial and industrial
property, and handled the sites
for the Stark County Regional
Campus of Kent State University, Timken Research Center and
the 371 acre Akcan industrial
park, as well as Versailles Gardens apartments.
"We feel the investment in
our new office building reflects
our belief in the growth of the
area," Mr. DeHoff said. "And
we are interested in maintaining the former Hoover home as
a community landmark."
Fr. John C. Welch
The 11:30 mass will be followed by a dinner at the Mahoning Country Club.
Fr. Welsch, who has been
pastor at St. Paul's since July
