7 Cents Per Copy
To Young Leaders Only
When you get to the age of thie writer, ytou acquire a
vast storehouse of cliches. There was one that used to annoy me very much because every haim 'actor always spouted
it. And onoe you heard it, you knew you were in for a long
bout of speechifying. But I am fishing it out of the rag bag
because, like most cliches, it is based on common sense.
It is the line that the success of Napoleon's army was
due to the fact that every soldier carried a Marshal's bfc.
ton—juslrin case.
Aire you a timorous soul—afraid to take the initiative?
Then tpick out some little task and do. it with all your effort—^regardless of whether or not you are awkward Jn the
doing;   It is courage the world needs, ,not infallibility.
Do you think you have to bluster and speak loud to
make[;your voice heard? Take that chip off your shoulder,
brother — sister — and remember a true leader first finds
out what the other fellow is thinking.
Are you sure you are the one always in the right? And
do yoji over-defend your own position regardless of facts?
Qui minium probat, nihil probat—or—"who claims too much,
proves nothing."
E(o you have an answer for everything? To that type
I quote a comment from one of the shrewdest of editors.
"He never finds out what he is talking about, until he geite
all thjrough with what he is thinking." If you wait long
enough to find out what the issue under discussion is, y|ou
won't be wrong so often.
Can' you wor^SlQnei.,-Leadership is. a lonely" job Jn
v^etttheWisno vac^*ioja.{ The.Serbs.have aproverb—"If
it wefe.godd to have^a pWfiTer, God would have one." If
you lead, the decision is- up to you. Men clan back you up,
but they, cannot help you nor share your responsibilities.
You must face that most merciless of critics—yourself.
Leadership is a full-time, job—twenty-four, hours a day.
As: Jefferson said; "When a man assumes a public trust, he
should consider himself public property." You plan to be
a leader?   Go to it—and more power to you!
Freedom to Shop Around
The Chamber of Commlerce of the United States has
published a new booklet called ".Free Markets and Free Men".
The point it makes is that the freedom to "shop around,"
to buy and sell at places and prices that suit us, is 'as much
a part of people's liberty as freedom of press and religion.
After h, discussion of government-controlled markets, including our experience under OPA and OPS, it says, "Centuries
of history . . . have shown that when economic freedom
and thjb free market aire chipped away the other components
of huralan freedom are impaired, jeopardized and finally destroyed and liquidated.'*
Iii other words, Men government has the p(ower to tell
us what we oafrbuy, what we can sell, and what we can pay
or change,, government's domination of our lives is just about
complete. It is inevitable that when dictatorships of any
kind take over; the government of a country one of their
first afcts is to liquidate economic freedom and the free market.    :■   ;       ■
Moreover, the free market does more gjood for moi-e
peopleHhan any other kind of marlcet ever devised. We see
it in operation every diay in the hundreds Iof thousands of retail stbres-that blanket-our country. Some are big, some
are small. "Some are chain-owned, some aria locally-owned.
But; they have two things in rommon—-they are all looking/for consumer favor, and'-they are. all' trying to offer
more Inducements than .their competitors.
Budget Cut is Biggest News
The only way to cut a budget is to go at the job with
a shears. You can find the world's best.reasons for spending anything. But if you decide in advance that you just
can't afford the prices, you have a fighting chance to trim
your costs. Nobody likes to cut Government spending; it
alyays hits someone's pet project. But if you make up your
mind io do it even if it hurts, it can be done.
President Eisenhower has made up his mind.' The budget as it will be submitted to Congress for final approval
will be somewhere in the neighborhood of eight and a half
billion^ less than the figures by Truman. And Mr. Truman)
was doing his best to put the heat on his successor" in the
Whitej House by trimming away lots of fat wherever lite
could.; "*-■
Ifi we can ever find out exactly what lots of folks on
the Fejderal payrolls are doing, we would be in a bletter position jbo cut down oh spending because iwe would know whom
and where to cut. There seems to be a conspiracy all along
the lirie to conceal employment records which ought tto be
open aW exposed to the view of everyone with a legitimate
interest. Public employies* personnel records certainly should
beiavailabe to Congressional Committees. As matters stand,

John Risher
Receives Patent
On May 5, 1953, the United
States Patent Office granted
patent number 2,637,098, entitled "Method;.,jOf Forming
Commutatoire'^r"to John D.
.Risher.- $$rth ,jGanton and
Herman W. Stein, Canton,
Ohio.
As is well known, the conventional commutator of 'a motor
comprises an array ol capper
segments that are mounted rati-'
ially on the sha'ft o'f an armature and are separated from
each other and the armature toy
insulation. Heretofore, it has
toeen common practice to stamp
these commutator segments
from a tapered copper strip and
to separately stamp the insulating segments from a strip of
suitable stdck. Thereupon, these
parts are arranged alternately
into a ring-like structure upon
which end damping rings are,
set. Obviously, this procedure
necessitates the use of skilled
labor, requires considerable
time and is quite expensive.
To provide an improvement
over this prior pra'ctiee, Messrs.
Risher and Ste'in have devised a
novel method df commutator
construction wherein a strip of
the insulating separator material is cemented to a strip of the
tapered copper stock. The resulting laminated or combina -
tion strip is ;then fed automatically into a die or stamping
machine and is 'cut into wedge-
shaped copper segments with
their insulating sides all facing
in the game direction, are tfed
into a 'Chuite for delivery to an
assembly station where they
aTe formed into a commutator
ring of the desired size.
According to Messrs. Risher'
and Stein, the procedure of their
invention renders it unnecessary
to separartely stamip and then
separately assemble the copper
and insulating segments into the
commutator Ting. In other
words, the parts ace arranged
automatically in proper relationship with no danger that two
■cdpper segments will lie side by
side in the commutator or that
two -insulator ■segments will toe
■falcated: between . two adjacent
■copper segments. Thus, the process is 'conductive to accurate
accurate workmanship; and it
affords savings in time and labor.
This patent has been assigned
to The Hoover Company.

EXPERIENCED AIRPORT CONSULTANTS TO
SUBMIT MAHAGiNG PLAN AT MEETING OF
STARK AND SUMMIT COMMISSIONERS
The well known airport and transportation consultants,
James C. Buckley Co., Whose main offices are located in iNew
York City, will present an outline (of a master plan for operating the bi-county field, the manner of developing it and
the way to raise the income of the airport to get it out of
the red, to the commissioners of Stark and Summit Counties
when they meet together on or about May 28.
At that time, the type of management at Akron - Canton Airport in the future will foe decided upon, providing ithe Stark
County Commissioners as well
as the Summit County Commissioners attend the meeting with
open minds. Which begins to
look doubtful, in-as-much as the
Stark County Commissioners are
insisting upon the reinstatement
of the two old trustees 'even before hearing what can be offered, by a disinterested firm,
whose only interest is to get the
airport on a paying basis.
They snould be urged lor the
benefit df the taxpayers to attend the meeting without attaching strings to any offer.
The 'fact that the airport has
been running in the red ever
since its s-tart, shiuld be proof
enough that there was something
wrong with the setup. It had
never been tried before, a spec-
eial act df the Ohio General Assembly, was required to p u t
Akron - Canton Airport into
existence as a two-county project,, and that it has failed to
work out as- it should have, is
proVed by the fact that it has
run- in the red from the beginning.
Now with tiie resignation of
the four trustees, the commissioners of both counties have the
opportunity to chose and decide,
and i'f they only will, take a
great deal of time and thought
in chosing who will represent
them as trustees, it would be
very foolish to renominate the
same ones to the jdb, not that
they 'may not ibe" good m'en in
their field, but from the amount
of red ink on the wrong side df
the airport's ledger, it would
look to a good business - man,
that a change df pace was most
centainly needed, and also that
the commissioners should retain
•more power over the direction
of what is done at the airport
than they -have in the past..it
should never be forgotten for
one minute ithat the airport is
run- with public tax money,
Which everyone in Stark .and
Summit County contributes to,
when they pay their taxes, and
the 'men whom we elect to office, should not appoint the
managing of the airport in such
a manner that they are not directly responsible 'for it. If they
do, then they will toe taking away
from the voters, their right r.o
ousf from office those whom
they feel aren't doing what is
best for the general good df ail
voters concerned.
The Buckley concern has offered to study the airport's management needs, policies and
physical and financial pi a n s
without any. charge to the
counties whatsoever. Then if
the 'county commissioners like
the plans offered, the Buckley
Company would expect to be
retained and go into more   de-

tail on the matter, however if
the commissioners should decide they don't like the plan
offered, it will be forgotten and
no charge made. Surely no one
can find fault with such an offer.
The New York eonsultatn met
with the Summit commissioners
Saiturday morning, Stark County's commissioners were asked
to attend but they claimed previous committments, which
made it impossible for them to
attend.
It would seem that at least one
of Stark County's Commissioners could have attended that
meeting, previous commitments
or no.
Buckley said his firm has a
wide background as consultant
for airports and is now retained
by the City of Cleveland in the
construction of a multimilliorT
dollar terminal building and a
$4,500,000 hangar project there.
Buckley said his 'firm' worked
out arrangements for finanping
tooth the terminal and hangars
without dbligating the City of
Cleveland in any way.
Akron - Canton Airport' s
greatest need, Buckley stated, is
to s«t up a definite authority under which the field can be operated, and to increase the. revenue, to get it out of the red.
He told the commissioners
that his firm does-not believe in
submitting voluminous, flowery
reports. His firni would rather
•conduct purveys as the need
arises aftd charge the- dwnters of
the airport only for the Mme
spent on studies rather .than on
a year-to-year contraClt basis.
The airport consultant told
the commissioners his firm has
toeen retained by numerous airports throughout the country, including Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Denver, Dallas and the Government of Puento Rico.
After hearing the- -proposal.
Summit commissioners suggested that the recommendations be
be submitted to the joint tooard
of 'Stark and Summit Courtly
commissioners. Buckley agreed
to return personally with the
report on or about May 28.
It is hoped that Stark County
Commissioners will make it
their business to attend that
meeting with an open mind, as
regards the needs of the Airport
itself, and leave differences of
opinion and personalities out of
the business at. hand.
The Summit County Commissioners in me'eting last Saturday
were not overstepping their authority as some would have the
public think. They were simply
carry out what ithe members
of the two county boards asked
the trustees to do, when they
passed a resolution about six
weeks ago directing the airponfs
four trustees to select several
•consulting firms to make such a
study as Buckley has proposed.
However, instead df acting on the
commissioners wishes, the four
trustees resigned shortly thereafter.
Summit commissioners accepted the resignations of all
four trustees, but Stark County's commissioners immediately renominated its two, probably
thereby hindering -^the business
of the airport more than anyone realizes. While the renomi-
nati'ons were submitted more
than a week.ago, Summit Commissioners have not acted upon
th'em stating they wished to give
it further    study.
At the time Stark Commissioners sent in the renominations,
they said they did not propose
to operate lthe field Without a
board of trustees. One wonders
why the Commissioners of Stark
County haven't given the nominating of new trustees more
study before rushing to reap -
point the old ones. Surely 'there
are others in the county who
are just as capable as the old
ones. Perhaps the Summit Com
missioners 'feel like a great
many of the voters in Stark
County feel—tthat new blood is
needed in the running of the
airport.
The airport agreement between Stark and Suminit gives
legal title to the airport and
provides ithat each .county owns
half interest in the field. The
agreement also specifies that the
port shall be operated by a
Iboard of trustees, two from each
comity.
