m^apmw^^mmoma Vol. 40 — No. 42 2 Sections—12 Paged NORTH CANTON, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, JULY 6, 1966 10c per copy Delegates Relate Experiences Don't Be Too Sensible I'm getting tired of "sensible" people. There ought to be a law against them. Or a society in opposition. Or at least an investigation of their so-called sense. You know the kind cf people I mean. Theey are the ones who are "realistic." They don't stick their necks out— for a cause, or a friend, or an ideal. They are the ones wno are always drawing back. They are cautious. Every time any one wants to do anything different, they say "be careful." And thei people I am hitting are those who avoid taking'sides because they might want to use someone on each/side. They never stand up for anyone—except themselves in a cautious scrt of way. They may have principles, but they conceal them admirably. Someone might object. You know some of the "sensible" ones with whom we have been afflicted. D,o you remember those who applauded the appeasement at Munich? Do you remember those who let Hitler get away with murded' (literally speaking)/ because he might say "boo" if they objected? Do you Remember these who turned away when Russia started to gobble up small nations? (Could it have been fear of the Russian bear-that-walks-like-a-man that motivated them?) There are some "sensible" folk who object to a man being asked if he is a Communist. His feelings might be hurt at the question — and besides it is just as though you asked him if he were a Democrat ,or a Republican. (I never met any one who was too ashamed of being a Democrat or a Republican to say so. Did you?) , You probably have a few sensible people in your own community. You know the ones who hamper and hinder everything that is put forward. No, they aren't GaspW Milquetoasts. They are just "sensible" pepp.e. Laok outifor, them — and don't be so "sensible" yourself that you refuse to look ahead, or to stand, up for the principles and the people in which you believe! Individual Responsibility Give a motorist an automobile and the open road, and he sometimes forgets rimself. Maybe itfs all part of being an individual and pushing aside responsibilities. But it all fits in the highway safety picfllire. Some persons — in and out of government — have taken pleasure recently in putting the blame for highw y deaths chiefly on the automobile industry. The critics say the answer to it all is for the companies to build whac they (the critics) describe as "safer cars." They're wrong, They've forgo.ten the individual driver. Too often the role iof the motorist in highway safety discussions -is dismissed- or placed far back -in .impprvancei Actually;-it \is a.tnajof coirsideration. iNo mat.eriiaW'aeita; ihcbiles-'are -biiihr and highways designed, the: speeder,. the drinking driver and. the motorist who fails to keep his car in good repair will be a menace. One national news magazine recently reported that a study of 3,018 deatrs on T&_j_ highways in 1965 showed "lihat in 42 per cent of the accidents, the driver was speeding; in 37 per cent drinking was a, factor, and 12 per cent of the drivers didn't even have _ license. The magazine's report added that nationally, mos authorities agree, that only 20 per cent of all accidents don't involve some degree of error. This all means, we think, that motorists cannot look elsewhere for a big answer to highway safety. It has to s'art wiih the man, woman or teenager behing the wheel, hopefully with his seat belt buckled. Stricter laws and enforcement, batter driver licensing procedures, improved driver training- courses for high school stuuents and all practicable improvements in tre car itself will help. But many are convinced it will be the individual motorist wno will supply the major breakthrough. Motorists have a responsibility %o each other. No one else can assume itf. We enjoy freedom of speech but caniibt abuse it. This privilege, for instance, gives us no license to run into a theatre and yell "f.re" when there is niohe. The same goes for the privilege of having a driver s license. It, is no permit to kill or main through misjudgment and carelessness. A Shortage Of Nurses Talk about a chronic shortage iof doctors has been given new impetus by awareness that the Medicare program will place heavier demands on the nation's medical.facil.t-es. Though this shortage is real, and apparently is desined to! become more severe because medical demands are rising fas"ler than the medical school's output of new doctors, it is tltft the only shortage that demands attention. Tne reference is to the fact that, although more nwses than ever are en the job now, the need for more of them is acute. Jfo.: titicy Pe'ry Leone, who recently retired as assistant surgeon general, describes the nursing shortage as "critica}." Thete s little reason to dispute that judgment. It -is not:entirely a bad thing that there is a crying out, reflects increased demand by "advances in medical sciences during the past three decades." Addi ional nurses are need for more nurses. The shortage, as Mrs. Leone pointed ^quired:,b6<s£uae ithe nursa of today is capable of dojjig more than *&as^jsoible even in the recent past.

Delegates are chosen on the basis of scholastic achievement, character, responsibility, and interest in American government. The local Post 419 of the American Legion and the North Canton Rotary Club sponsored two Hoover High School Boys' Stat- ?rs: Fred Ross, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Ross of 632 Church St.. SW, and Dona'd Green, the son of Dr. and Mrs. William Green of 1119 Janet Dr. NW. The American Legion Auxiliary, the North Canton Junior Woman's Club, and the Woman's Club of North Canton were sponsors for three Hoover High Girls .Staters, including Karen Ald- •idge, Jennifer Mylett, and Nan- ?y.. Spencer. Their parents are Mr. 'and Mrs. Maynard Aldridge of 215 S. Lindy Lane, Mr. ahd Mrs. Robert E. Mylett of 614 Pershing St. SW. and Mr. and Mrs. Neil Spencer of 524 W.

She was responsive for composing a city charter md city ordinances. Commenting' on her duties, Caren said that she learned much about legal phrasing and he functions of city govern- nent. "As legal adviser, I also md to learn about all the offices •f local government," she added. One of her more superficial oles'was that of zookeeper, in .vhich she "kept the animals [girls) in at night," she said. Jennifer Mylett served as an attorney and a lobbyist.

Page last week revised the . Nalco Chemical ComL pany's report on the analysis of the city's w.ater. | Nalco, a Chicago firm, was contacted by city officials several months ago to analyze the water and provide recommendations for both temporary and long-range improvements. , "The report confirms my belief than we can do much more chan we are presently doing without a central pumping and treating plant," Mr. Page said. He stated that he plans to recommend that council include in next year's budget funds for a complete consulting engineering study, which would include possible sites for a plant, cos=t of construction and operation and plans for a distribution system. "A population growth study would also be needed so the system would be adequate for 25 to 30 years," he added. The city is currently treating water with a chemical added at each individual week, which holds iron in .suspension for approximately 30 hours, Mr. Page said. The Nalco report states that total iron concentrations in the city's water are "appreciably above" the maximum "recommended under U.S. Public Health drinking water standards. Foresees Central Water Softening A central plant would make water softening possible, he said, and would eliminate the need f or individual home softeners, pur- ■chase of salt and replacement of appliances and plumbing which are corroded by the hard water. The cost of softening would be small, he explained, but plant facilities would be expensive: several additional men would have to be hired, and another water tower or two might be necessary. . Mr. Page said funds could be obtained through issuance of long range bonds, and by increasing water rates. The new system 'could probably not become-a reality much earlier than about three and one- half years, he said, even if the survey, which would take about six months, were begun early next year. Construction and cut- over of facilities would take several years, he estimated. "STATE"-LY SOUVENIRS.

Delegates Relate Experiences
Don't Be Too Sensible
I'm getting tired of "sensible" people. There ought
to be a law against them. Or a society in opposition. Or at
least an investigation of their so-called sense.
You know the kind cf people I mean. Theey are the

for a cause, or a friend, or an ideal. They are the ones wno
are always drawing back. They are cautious. Every time

but they conceal them admirably. Someone might object.
You know some of the "sensible" ones with whom

Individual Responsibility
Give a motorist an automobile and the open road,

it all fits in the highway safety picfllire.
Some persons — in and out of government — have
taken pleasure recently in putting the blame for highw y
deaths chiefly on the automobile industry. The critics say
the answer to it all is for the companies to build whac they
(the critics) describe as "safer cars." They're wrong,
They've forgo.ten the individual driver.
Too often the role iof the motorist in highway safety
discussions -is dismissed- or placed far back -in .impprvancei
Actually;-it \is a.tnajof coirsideration. iNo mat.eriiaW'aeita;
