Don't Let 'Em Worry You, Son Fourth Of July Ohio state Museum Columbus 10, Ohio 55 VOL. 29, NO. 39 NORTH OANTON, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, U'UNE 23 1954 7c FER .COPY. - On the Fourth of July, one hundred and seventy eight years ago, .Freedom was torn in the fractional area on the Eastern Seaboard of what is rtow. the United States of [America. The infinite wisdom of the men who produced the Dec- Haration of Independence, was the spark. The soul-searing war years of the American Revolution itested, in the crucible of devotion, the loyality of the citizen- soldiers who determined to fan that spark to eternal flame. The Constitution, quickly supplemented by the Bill of Rights, protected the flame by a light-house, to guard it against extinction by the gales of .totalitarian greed for power, the hurricanes of centralized control by the few over the lives of the many. The lighthouse held through the War of 1812, though those from whom we had won freedom, burned the White House as symbol of a temporary success in tihe never-ceasing effort to dim the beam. The troubles with Mexico .ousted foreign imperialism from another section of the North American continent. The War between the States held us together as a nation. The Spanish War saved Cuba from foreign oppression and led to free Cuba, and later the free Philippines. Thrice, in 1917, in 1941, and again in 1950 in Korea this nation has thrown its vast power in men, money and materials, on the side of liberty and free men throughout the world. Fascism failed. The Nazis failed. But—today a greater threat than either seeks to destroy freedom. On this next Fourth of July the little folks will light Sparklers, and some will use contrabrand fire-crackers as an outlet for enthusiasm. The politically minded will give out witjh grandiloquent oratory. The night skies will flame ;with rockets . . . empty displays. I would rather see a Fourth of July where we of Free America would find a quiet hill-top from which to see as much of America as is visible to the bend of .the earth's, surface that is the horizon. I would rather see we of Free America thinking, this next Fourth of July, on what our Freedom means, the sacrifice which won it, the heroic effort which sustained it, the superhuman effort that must be brought to unified effort to maintain it. July Fifth, if July Fourth could be that day of solemn thought on a thousand hill-tops, would be the dawn of re- dedicated Freedom, not 'only for America, but for all the Freedom-hungry world. 1 Don't Be A Heel At The Wheel T'he National Safety Council, which is coordinating a nationwide Fourth of July safety campaign, holds up six mirrors. If you can see yourself in any of them, then be prepared to become a holiday statistic. The ME-FIRSTBR, this is the selfish competitive character who must be first away from the traffic light, can't stand to have anyone pass him and risks the life of anyone who gets in his way. The BIG I, this is the fellow who is too big for the rules. Others can obey the law and a code of decent and courteous behavior, but not this self-inflated big shot. He's above all that. The KNOW-IT ALL this driver is gtood, in his ow.n estimation. He knows what the other driver is going to do, just how fast he can stop, just how much room he needs to cut in on another car. But the only way this over-confident jerk escapes painful disillusionment is that tihe really good drivers give him a wide berth. The SWASHBUCKLER, this fellow thinks he expresses his masculinity or something by living dangerously behind the wheel. He believes that he who hesitates is lost, and that his luck will hold forever. The SOREHEAD, this fellow is just plain hostile. He drivtes with a chip on his shoulder and is ready to lock fenders for any real or imagined wrong. He's store at everyone, and very brave while surrounded by a steel automobile with the windows rolled up. The SHOW-OFF, this is the exhibitionist. He's graduated from no hands on a bike to no sense at the wheel. He just wants people to admire his flashy performance, but most other drivers are too busy getting out of his way. Take a good, long look at yourself in these mirrors. See anything? A heel at the wheel gets by because the good drivers give him the margin of safety he fails to give himself. But the heavy Fourth of July traffic will reduce that margin. Watch out for it! Lawrence E. Connelly Jr. Elected Chairman Of JA Board Of Trustees Lawrence E. Connelly, Jr., vice-president of the Hoover Company, was elected Chairman of the Junior Achievement Board of Trustees at the annual meeting held in the Onesto Hotel at noon Wednesday, June 16.

Director of the summer program of the school is Eugene Strausser, son of Mr. and Mts. Yale S. Strausser of 718 S. Main St. A North Canton High School junior, he is an amateur astronomer and has assisted Emmons with a telescope and' in the planetarium. "As far as we known here," Em'mons said, "the planetarium is the fourth, though the smallest, in Ohio." Others are in Cin- ic'innati, Columbus and Cleve> land, he added. Located in a 'garage in t h e rear of the Em'mons residence, the planetarium is authentic and is nine (feet in diameter. The night, sky with its constellations.. niay-Tbe reproduced on Ifche dome. Also, an eight - inch diameter reflecting telescope is owned by the school. Russell Smith of 417 Adena St., also a North Canton High School junior, and Strausser aided 'Emmons in building the planetarium. "We've partially seen the so- called 'canals' of Mars through the telescope," Emmons remarked. 'Mars is nearer the earth now than it has been since 1941," he said. The summer program Straus- KC Wil conk-net will consist of six lecture-demonstrations and an elementary short course.

He converted his garage to the planetarium as a sideline, the school sponsor said.

- On the Fourth of July, one hundred and seventy eight
years ago, .Freedom was torn in the fractional area on the
Eastern Seaboard of what is rtow. the United States of
[America.
The infinite wisdom of the men who produced the Dec-
Haration of Independence, was the spark.
The soul-searing war years of the American Revolution
itested, in the crucible of devotion, the loyality of the citizen-
soldiers who determined to fan that spark to eternal flame.
The Constitution, quickly supplemented by the Bill of
Rights, protected the flame by a light-house, to guard it
against extinction by the gales of .totalitarian greed for power, the hurricanes of centralized control by the few over the
lives of the many.
The lighthouse held through the War of 1812, though
those from whom we had won freedom, burned the White
House as symbol of a temporary success in tihe never-ceasing effort to dim the beam.
The troubles with Mexico .ousted foreign imperialism
from another section of the North American continent.
The War between the States held us together as a nation.
The Spanish War saved Cuba from foreign oppression
and led to free Cuba, and later the free Philippines.
Thrice, in 1917, in 1941, and again in 1950 in Korea
this nation has thrown its vast power in men, money and
materials, on the side of liberty and free men throughout
the world.
Fascism failed. The Nazis failed. But—today a greater threat than either seeks to destroy freedom.
On this next Fourth of July the little folks will light
Sparklers, and some will use contrabrand fire-crackers as
an outlet for enthusiasm. The politically minded will give
out witjh grandiloquent oratory. The night skies will flame
;with rockets . . . empty displays.
I would rather see a Fourth of July where we of Free
America would find a quiet hill-top from which to see as
much of America as is visible to the bend of .the earth's, surface that is the horizon.
I would rather see we of Free America thinking, this
next Fourth of July, on what our Freedom means, the sacrifice which won it, the heroic effort which sustained it, the
superhuman effort that must be brought to unified effort

July Fifth, if July Fourth could be that day of solemn
thought on a thousand hill-tops, would be the dawn of re-
dedicated Freedom, not 'only for America, but for all the
Freedom-hungry world. 1
Don't Be A Heel At The Wheel
T'he National Safety Council, which is coordinating a
nationwide Fourth of July safety campaign, holds up six
mirrors. If you can see yourself in any of them, then be
prepared to become a holiday statistic.
The ME-FIRSTBR, this is the selfish competitive character who must be first away from the traffic light, can't
stand to have anyone pass him and risks the life of anyone
who gets in his way.
The BIG I, this is the fellow who is too big for the rules.
Others can obey the law and a code of decent and courteous
behavior, but not this self-inflated big shot. He's above all
that.
The KNOW-IT ALL this driver is gtood, in his ow.n
estimation. He knows what the other driver is going to do,
just how fast he can stop, just how much room he needs to
cut in on another car. But the only way this over-confident
jerk escapes painful disillusionment is that tihe really good
drivers give him a wide berth.
The SWASHBUCKLER, this fellow thinks he expresses
his masculinity or something by living dangerously behind
the wheel. He believes that he who hesitates is lost, and
that his luck will hold forever.
The SOREHEAD, this fellow is just plain hostile. He
drivtes with a chip on his shoulder and is ready to lock fenders
for any real or imagined wrong. He's store at everyone, and
very brave while surrounded by a steel automobile with the
windows rolled up.
The SHOW-OFF, this is the exhibitionist. He's graduated from no hands on a bike to no sense at the wheel. He
just wants people to admire his flashy performance, but
most other drivers are too busy getting out of his way.
Take a good, long look at yourself in these mirrors. See
anything?
A heel at the wheel gets by because the good drivers
give him the margin of safety he fails to give himself. But
the heavy Fourth of July traffic will reduce that margin.
Watch out for it!

ipeople who have been visiting
•the planetarium the past s i x

cally.
Director of the summer program of the school is Eugene
Strausser, son of Mr. and Mts.
Yale S. Strausser of 718 S. Main
St. A North Canton High School
junior, he is an amateur astronomer and has assisted Emmons
with a telescope and' in the
planetarium.
"As far as we known here,"
Em'mons said, "the planetarium
is the fourth, though the smallest, in Ohio." Others are in Cin-
ic'innati, Columbus and Cleve>
land, he added.
Located in a 'garage in t h e
rear of the Em'mons residence,
the planetarium is authentic and
is nine (feet in diameter. The
night, sky with its constellations..
niay-Tbe reproduced on Ifche dome.
Also, an eight - inch diameter
reflecting telescope is owned by
the school. Russell Smith of 417
Adena St., also a North Canton
High School junior, and Strausser aided 'Emmons in building
the planetarium.
"We've partially seen the so-
called 'canals' of Mars through
the telescope," Emmons remarked. 'Mars is nearer the
earth now than it has been
since 1941," he said.
The summer program Straus-
KC Wil conk-net will consist of
six lecture-demonstrations and
an elementary short course.
The short course, which commenced Monday, June 14, will
continue each Monday at 8:30
p.m.

tion started Wednesday night,
June 17, at 8:30 p.m. Lectures
also wiil be given June 23 and
July 7, 14, 21 and 28. Topics include 'Our Galaxy and Oth -
ers, "Nextt Week's Eclipse of
the Sun," "Our Neighbor Planet
Mars, Now Close . By" and 'A
Trip into the Future . the Sky of
10,000 A.D."
Emmons is hoping that enough
interest would be developed as a
result of the school and planetarium and create the need for
a larger planetarium available
for the area.
He converted his garage to the
planetarium as a sideline, the
school sponsor said. Emmons
is employed toy Goodyear Air -
craft Corporation and formerly
taught mathematics, physical
science and astronomy at It h e
