1st Marching
fl Festival Here
As Mother Nature chan-.
ges her wardrobe and gray
days outnumber the sunny
ones the sights, smells and
sounds of fall are upon us.
The glorious arry of changing leaves comingled* with
the cheers of a fooball
game and the frangranceof
burning leaves (which today
we have to strain to smell)
makes this time o f year
very special.
Fall i s Midget football,
walks over 1 e a f covered
paths, little children dressed a s goblins and Indian
summer. But fail alsdhasa
taste-the sweet tangy flavor
of cider or the firm juicy
sensatlo-V-from chalking "a
cold apple, j        , :,-   ■_'.
Today webuy apples (red,
yellow aiid green) all done
up neatly'in plastic bags or
cider in plastic jugs never
thinking twice how important the hiatbry of the apple
has been, since Eve./ ;
This is not a history that
tells   of happy songfllled
Johnny Appleseed and his
trek across mid-America
leaving behind a legend and
a trillion -tjiple trees. Nor
is this a;history related to '
apples based on medical,,
findings that provesbr disproves that ah. appleaday'.;
keeps the doctor away, or
the merit of an apple tor the
teacher. ■■■'.'      -.._•"
Bringing the history of
the apple right to our Own
table one has to be remind
ed again of the pi qneer time,
and effort most bf our kin
folk put into tlie apple pro-.
ducts they ate.
Would be that by the time
true winter set in a former   in these parts would
have stored winter apples
.underground  or   in fruit
cellers then crocks ofap-
ple-rbutter and jugs of cider
would be "laid-up".
. Cider was not a seasonal
beverage jn earlier days.
(Its popularity of as.ado-it
-yourself product has diminished by   virtue: of the
equipment heeded to make
; It). :Today rejected apples

Paper Drive
To
'-._;,   It isn't always easy to make a decision as was
^he case with Councilmen at the North Canton City
-'Council meeting Monday evening, Sept. 27 in Council  Chambers.  Councilmen voted 4-3 against  two
-ordinances  which  could  have provided  temporary
relief for ares  residents who are having trouble
.{••wi<;h sanitary sewer backups in their homes during
.{heavy rains.
ordinance also stated that
prior to the city's undertaking the installation of the
check valve on any private
property, a waiver had to
be filed with the La w Department by each respective
property owner releasing
theCity of any liabilities
for damages sustained by
the property owner during
or after installation of the
check valve. The ordinance
also stated that the Check
Value installation project
'could not exceed $10,000.
The second ordinance pertaining to this matter was
also defeated by the c i t y
fathers by a 4-3 vote. This
would have authorized the
transfer of funds so check
values could be purchased
and installed.
Councilman who Voted
against the two ordinances
were" W a r d 1 Councilman.
Glenn Maag, Ward 2 Councilman W i 1 Ham Gluck,
Ward 4 Council Paul Blohm
and Councilman-at-Large
Les Raye. Voting in favor
of installing the check
values were Ward 3 Coun -
cllman Ted Scheffler,
Council President David
Clark and Councilman-at-
Large Dennis Grady.
• PrM»^t_««tJtt^,!poi_p». ^
cilrtan Grady askfed the
Mayor for-his position o n
the matter.'The Mayor re-
pUedby stating that if passed, he would veto the legislation.
In other action, Council:

setting requirements that

Council Takes
Action On
Service Center
North Canton City Council met in a special session Wednesday, Se.pt.22
and acted on an application
for a $1.9 million grant for
construction of a general
service center.
Mayor Charles B. Strausser requested Council's
authorization to sign and
file a Federal Local Public
Works Capital Development
and Investment Program
Application to the Economic Development Administration.
The proposed s e rvice
center will be constructed
on Dressier Rd. NW, and
will primarily serve the
Street Department.
The service center will
be on city-owned property
immediately west of c i t y
limits in Jackson Township
according to City Administrator Macaulay J. Gosney.
In addition to the s t r ee t
department, the center will
house the Park and Sign
departments, and maintenance equipment.
The entire ftindingwillbe
provided by recent federal
legislation that authorizes
public works programs for

Sen Johnson
Reports From
The Capital
The most important
question- in u)e minds of
many Ohioans is "Jobs."
The unemployment rate
in this Senate District is
higher than most o f Ohio.
This state's overall unemployment rate is about 7%
and ln some cities almost
40% of the young people
cannot find a job.
Everyone must be concerned. The tragic human
costs of unemployment are
crime, broken families,
and personal despair. The
economic costs are loss of
jobs and higher prices because of an increased unemployment tax burden.
These are serious social
and economic prices to pay
and frankly, amount in my
mind, to crisis proportions.
Something must be done.
Surely a critical part of
Ohio's economy is manufacturing but, information
from the state labor office
shows Ohio has lost 141,300
manufacturing jobs since
1970. Manufacturers are
taking*- their jobs to other
states and regions. This is
clearly true in our communities and we must act to
correct it.

written in St. Paul's letter
to the Romans, 5:1-5.
Though thewordingof the
theme of theweek-tobe observed J a n. 18 to25-tnay

Christian family.
In the United States, the
theme Is worded: "T his

poured i n our hearts

(Rom. 5:5).
