How matoy men or women, have you met who could —
and widjild —' im "I "don't know." And didn't you rather
admireUhejrh for their ability to majce that s ijmple statement?
It takes a lot' of courage to protfess ignorance — but the
bigger a man or* a woman is, the more ready he is to admit
that he does not know everything.
Too many people today claim exhaustive knowledge.
They seem to feel that they must be the last word on every
topic under the sun. They never stop to take into oon-
^4eration that, by the very djyersifioation of their so-called]
knowledge, they prove its superficiality. There aren't
enough hours in the day for them to have learned it all . . .
therefore the opinions they yoice must be pre-digested abstracts of other men's thoughts.
And from that smattering of isolated facts, miscellaneous rumors, statements taken out of context, they come up
with half-baked notions which they proceed to deliver with
an air of authority as uncontrovertible dicta. They are
continual critics of everyone around them, particularly of
those in positions of authority — even though they may
have had a hand in electing them. They always know just
what should have been done under every circumstance. They
have to express an opinion on each and every subject.
Should we follow their lead? Must.we always express'
an opinion ? Must we always take time off from important,
even if monotonous tasks, to say something? Can't we ever
say "I don't know" — and then get back to work? Can't
we learn.to weigh pur words before we speak? If we stopped
to consider what our opinion was worth, there are lots of
■times when We wouldn't ,offer it.
There is Mother.angle, to.b, to this pronyscous expression of; opinion. Have you ever stopped to think how many
important secrets have been given away tept the enemy in
our midst by people who couldn't resist showing off their

Cleaner Head
The new president of the
Vacuum Cleaner, Manufacturers Association elected at
its annual meeting held in
Cleveland last week, was the

The Hoover Co., Oscar M.

fff. 'W. Hoover, president from
1922 to 1926. Mansager was formerly vice president of the association.
In his talk before the assemblage, Mansager said that the
vacuum cleaner industry is enjoying one of its best years in
its history jand that "almost every known method of distribution
is being used to introduce the
vacuum pcleaner into every
American home.
Mansager continued saying
that "our good national economy" was only one of the factors
aiding the industry's record
season in Which the first 10
months sales topped the entire
sales of last year.

not talk of the things we don't know, pf those things on
which we have only opinions or second-hand rumors.    Let
us talk only of the things we do know.   And abbye all, let

mental reservation, if it is important — "But I'll find out."
Too Many Taxes
• A recent survey shows that during the past year, 45
State Legislatures have enacted more than 2,600* new laws
dealing with taxes. This figure is 600 nqore than ,tb,e number;
of such measures passed in 1953 and lOOO more than the'
number reached in 1951.
A breakdown $f the j^aws enacted shows that 29 States
how, levy both personal incoir\e i^xes an,d cpr^ox^te taxes.
Three States have corpo^aW taxes only, and 2 have income
.taxes only. 3-2 States now levy a sales tax, and 7 of them'
increased the sales tax rates in 1955. In 15 State Legislatures, gasoline taxes w«j^e raised. In only one state is the
gasoline tax as low as 3c. per gajlpn. 10 States now charge
the-top rate, 7c per gallo.h.' ll i5^ates have upped t^te fate;

Junior Women Ask Question
What Does Christmas Mean To You?
In connection with the program of the North Canton
Junior Woman's Club, "Keep Christmas for Christ," Reverend Melvin E. Beck writes:
"The Christmas within" is the title of a fine article in
a December issue of The Christian Herald of a few years
ago. The author says, "When we thing of Christmas as a
hurrying and scurrying about on errands, however dear, we
are preparing the Inn, but neglecting the manger." There is
indeed a grave danger that the central meaning of Christmas will be forgotten in the rush and crush of shopping, in
the feverish preparations for family gatherings, and in the
hundred and one other activities of Ihe season. If we are not
on our guard, the Holy Day will turn into a mere holiday.
Let us not forget WHY we have Christmas: "Unto you is
bom a Saviour.' Only if that Saviour is born within is the
Christmas that counts.

Beulah Levenger and   Margaret
| Zurcher, co-chairman.
Let the call of Christmas be
the call to celebrate Christmas
within, and let Him truly reign
within our hearts and h o m e s.
Let the hustle and bustle, .the
stirrings be the work of The
Holy Spirit as He tries to make
room in our hearts and lives,
our homes and our schedules for
The  God and Father o'f us all.
Let us keep the thought of The
Christ paramount in our 'holiday
activities. This we can do in ;£he
simple decorations of out
homes: in the quiet and simple
majestic of the Christmas Carols; in the faithfulness of family.
oTevotion; and by our conversations, so that in all things Christ
will have the pre-eminence. (Col-
ossians 1:181
If you and I can truly pray the
prayer in Phillips Brooks' beautiful Christmas hymn. I am sure
we will find Him first and foremost in our Christmas festivities :
"O holy Child  of Bethlehem,
Descend to us today;
Cast out our sin and enter in-
Be bom in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels,
The great glad tidings tell,-
O come to us,  abide with us,
Our Lord Immanuel."

This appears even more remarkable in comparison with
i the extremely poor national record. The nation's total' of
The pather members are: Fred- 68 traffic deaths in the 24-hour period was much higher
erick S. Wilkins  of Canton, C. than any average workday period.
Blake McDowell, chairman     of '
the board and Thomas J. Arcon-1    Marshall Smitty added   that
y North Canton has shown an in
creasingly good traffic record in
the,.past year since more patrol-
men are watching the area. He
said that he hasn't had to tow am
auto for a long time and that he
scarcely remembers the   last
serious accident within the Vil-
■lage limits.
•It is his belief that with strict-
Screams of delight and a thou- er  law   enforcement   and  more
