PIE IN THE SKY IKS.. ?^4^#«'YYY- ,' 1H£RE Afit omen rums //V££P MOM I Y;\YY ■"'S-X-*.'; t%>;^YS 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. tmm 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 83 'President Tyler tried in vain to get him to be sec* <% 8>wt Vol. 49 ■ No. 13 • One Section 18 Pages NORTH CANTON. OHIO, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8,1971 Planners Clear S. Main Hoover Land for Apts. North Canton City Planning Commission amended Monday night a recommendation made last month on rezoning some 30 acres at the southeast corner of S. Main St. and Easthill St. SE. Planners earlier gave the nod to City Council to approve a change from single family to low density multi-family on land owned by the Hoover Co. andby W. W. Steele Jr., but asked deletion of land owned by Mrs. Polly H. Connelly and Harter Bank and H. W. Hoover, Jr. Attorneys representing Mrs. Connelly and Hoover asked that 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 added the condition that the properties be replated as five outlets, two for the Hoover Co., and one each for the Steele, Connelly and Harter Bank, and H.

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 DeHoff Agency Holding Open House on Sunday John D. Hawkins fire department was organized in 1906.

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.
