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." #utt Vol. 49 - No. 17 • One Section — 12 Pages NORTH CANTON, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 5, 1972 10c per copy; $4.50 per year by Mail; $6.00 Outside County 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. School Study Committee To Report Jan.10 The Year RoundSchool Feasibility Study Committee will report on the first phase of its study at a meeting on Monday, Jan. 10, at 7 p.m.atClearmount School. Richard A. White, chairman, will preside as committee reports are made. They will include indepth research on such matters as extra-curricular activities, transportation and maintenance, project savings on furniture and supplies, legal implications, student morale and fatigue, changes in family life and curriculum. The committee has received a donation of $5,000 from the Stark County Foundation that will go toward trips by committee members to other school districts which have year-round schools or have researched the plan. Jaycees Shred Discarded Yule Trees Saturday Saturday, Jan. 8, will be tree shredding day for North Canton Jaycees as they assist area residents in disposing of their discarded Christmas trees.

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 (Continued to page 9) The following is a statement from Felix N.

The awards banquet, set for HoUday Inn, will be the highlight of Jaycee Week Jan. 16-22. At that time the club will also honor its outstanding first-year members with the coveted "SPOKE" award. Reorganizing for the new term, Council unanimously elected former Mayor Charles B.Strausser from among coun- cilmen-at-large to serve as president of Council during 1972. He had held that post for nine years before being elected mayor in 1963. Glenn E. Wehl, named a councilman-at-large in November, was elected as council vice president.

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.

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.

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.
