              Hurry, Doc, It Hurts Something,Awful
Training For Tomorrow
"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest."
So said Benjamin Franklin in his Poor Richard's
Almanac. Some two centuries later we have mounting
evidence of just how right he was. It is estimated
that industry spends between $15 and $24 billion on
employee training and educational activities. The Wall
Street Journal estimates that $5 billion is spent each
year on management training alone.
Taking the lowest estimate, we find a striking
comparison in relation to the expenditures for public
education. A story in the Washington [Post quoted
the Congressional Quarterly to the effect that the
total expenditure of all 50 states in education was
$13.4 billion. If the higher estimates are used, the
comparison is even more impressive.
In one major company nearly 2,000 employees
are engaged in various types of training work, while
scores are working full time on updating employees'
skills.
Another company runs a correspondence school
to teach 15,000 employees; an insurance company
spends $5 million a year for campus style education
while another corporation operates a four-year institute of college rank to train 2,500 htudents annually.
This leads to the conclusion that it would be
difficult to over-estimate the value of human capital;
that Poor Richard was right in his estimate of the
value of knowledge,, as he was about so many things.
On Closing The Chapter
Sometimes I think the greatest fear most men
have is not of death or poverty, or disaster. It is
something new. Take all the changes there are today.
And the sad talk in certain quarters of the end of an
era. True, the changes are of choice. And there are
many happy people. But the majority of the happy
ones are more interested in putting themselves in
other people's places—or jobs—not in facing the
challenge of something new.
Recently I heard a man say to a young relative
who was bewailing the fact that when he went back
to his college at the end of five years, he found it
all strange—"That chapter in your life was fine while
it lasted. But that chapter is over. Don't be afraid
to close it."
And I thought how often—how far too often—
we bewail the closing of a chapter. We waste precious
time, on what is past. , We are afraid to close the
chapters ■ ■■■■'r''*",'.■ v ';■ " '■:'-'"'•'• •.'" ■•'.,-*".-''•.-.■ V^?- ':-■■'<
Each period in our life^-personal as well as national—is a chapter in the whole book. Why be
afraid t6 go on to the next chapter? Why should we
assume it will be worse than the !ast?/Why not expect it to be better, because by the reading or living
of the previous one we are more ready, better prepared to make the most of the new?
Remember when you went to school the list of
questions there were at the end of each chapter, arid
now you were expected to know the answers before
you,went on to the next? WeH, that is a lot like life.
We are supposed to have learned enough from the
Chapter just closed, to make it possible for us to
read, or live, the next one.
Don't be afraid to close the chapter! Say rather,
'This was good in what is passed. But it has passed.
What is good is in me,, to be carried on. The heartaches and disappointments I will leave behind me.
The new chapter is ahead. I will have a hand ia writing it. God help me to do a good job!"
What is true of the individual is true of the nation. There were repiners among the early settlers.
Men arid women who looked back, who forgot the
hardships they had left. Who remembered only what
was familiar and comfortable. There were those.
But there were others, who looked ahead toward
the new chapter in their lives. They were the ones
who built a nation. They were the ones who carried
the good of their pasts with them, along with the
Slips of flowers, the fruit trees from their old homes,
•fhey faced the challenge of the new bravely and boldly. They looked ahead—not back. And we honor them
So let us be pioneers in thought. Let us face
the challenge of tomorrow—and close the chapter on
yesterday I   ,
An Image of Brotherhood
Not very tonjr ago I had a visitor at my office
who talked at some length about the amount of time
and money that corporations spend to create what
is called a favorable "Corporate Image." He commented on the effort that management puts into advertising, promotion, public relations and other channels
in order to create in the minds of the public, the cori-
BUtners, the employees, the stockholders and the community in which the company operates a favorable
picture of the Corporation. '
And then he said to me—"Why don't people as
individuals follow the same corporation practice?
What a wonderful world we would have if each individual gave as much thought to his persona! image
as corporations give to theirs."     .      ■...„",
I never thought of it just this way but it makes
sense that if each individual lives and acta in such
$' way as to create* a favorable personal image, he
Sfcins the liking and respect of others, and so contributes to the^achievement of respect and harmony
between groups, because these things must begin with
individuals. , ''     „
While it has been many years since I read George
Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion," it is not so long .ago .
that I saw the Broadway adaptation — My Pair
l&dy" — and a bit of advice which Professor Higgins
gives to Eliza comes to my mind. Aa Shaw wrote it,
it goes like this: -.■■'
"The great secret, Eliza, is not having bad manners or good mariners or any other particular S^of
manner, but having the same manner for all .nWfriWi
souls; in short, behaving as if you * were in heAven,
where there are no third-class carriages, and one soul
is as good as anther."

Housing Code
Considered By
NC Planners
City Planning Commission is
considering developing a housing code for North Canton.
Planners voted Monday night
to ask City Council if it is interested in having them write a
proposed housing code. The idea
has been brought up from time
to time but no action was taken.
Ebasco Services had suggested a housing code in its
master plan for North Canton in
1963. Later it was recommended
by Stark County Regional Planning Commission, and some
preliminary work was done by
the city's engineering department.
Reactivation of the idea followed a recent letter from the
Ohio Housing and Community
Development Advisory Commission which asked local planners for land use regulation
suggestions.
Mrs. Peter Rodemeyer submitted a written statement to
Planning Commission which had
requested suggestions from the
public on proposed state land
use regulations.
She suggested housing codes
especially for rural areas to
prevent township slum areas
and to permit health authorities
to authorize tearing down of
buildings which violate the code.
She also recommended open
space planning to preserve park
areas.
In other business, planners:
ELECTED Ralph E. Norman
as president of the commission
and Charles Gulling as vice
president. Russell Youtz, who
has completed two years as president was commended for his
'outstanding work."
RECOMMENDED that City
Council approve a request from
Nick Zenallis of 714 Deerfleld
Dr. SW to rezone 5.61 acres oft
the east side of Whipple Ave.
NW. from single family to general business. Planners added
that they also recommend the
dedication to nine - city of five
feet on the south side of Glen-
wood St. Si) for roadway widening.
The zone change if approved
by Council would permit any
businesses except automotive
services which includes car
washes and drive-in restaurants.
VOTED to send a letter to
Lester Braucher thanking him
for his services as clerk ever
since Planning Commission was
organized.

needs and rights of consumers.
Evidence of this concern has
continued to be shown by the
active; participation of the company's top executives in consumer-related programs.
Because of increased volune
and an expanded product line,
weihave added Hoover factory
service stations and service vehicles in many cities. We are
also making a major increase
in the number of our sales offices and their personnel. The
program will also enable us to
provide improved and faster
service to our nationwide dealer organization.
Employment at our North
Canton plant has almost doubled
over the past few years, and
we are particularly pleased that

savings, which have reached an
all-time high, so we can expect
consumer buying to increase in
'72.
In addition, indications now
are that the economy will be
good. Most economists feel that
Gross National Product will increase from 5 to 7 per cent in
real terms, and that unemployment will drop from the 6 per
cent level which prevailed
through much of the past year.
We also believe that the recently achieved international
monetary accord will prove
very beneficial in the future.
Although faced with rising
costs like most industries, Hoover has supported President
Nixon's price freeze and is
cooperating with the administration's Phase II program to
stop the inflationary spiral.
Hoover has come a long way
since the days when it was known
only as a vacuum cleaner company. We now market more than
50 different household appliances around the world. Every
year consumers become more
and more aware that Hoover Is
truly a diversified company and
a marketer of a wide range of
appliances.
During the past year sales of
vacuum cleaners have been very
good indeed and indicate a continually expanding market for
our floor care line. We have
been particularly pleased with
sales of our power-drive upright cleaner, a self-propelled
model that makes cleaning on
any type of carpet virtually
effortless.
