Why  Waste  Time?
Are you touchy? When you meet a'man do you in
stinctly ask yourself, "I wonder what he thinks of me?'
Do other people's opinions of you absorb much of your
thinking time?
There was a teacher I once knew, who used to say:
"There are very few people who are mean intentionally
When people are mean, i'i is merely that they are afraid.
Frightened people don't think clearly. They lash out at anyone and everything. And, if you are sure of yourself, you
will have only pity for them."
The biggest man I know is a living example of that
truth. He is constantly reviled and slandered by li tlf
people, who are even more disturbed when they find he has
no hatred for them, only kindness. He is self-contained and
sure enough cf his own beliefs that he has time to under
stand tne other man's problems.
And therein lies the secret of his success and of the
devotion he inspires in those who know him. He takes the
trouble to understand what it is they are trying to do—and
why. lie does not assume he knows their motives. He is too
big to ever be pet'y or to hold a grudge, though he will
fight to the last ditch for a cause iri which he believes, or
for a friend — or an enemy —• in trouble.
M/>s>t people are not interested in problems. They are
interested only in their own situations. If we could once
realize that, we would not continuously be seeing insults
where no insults exist, or misinterpret actions and speech
to our own determent.. For time spent on worrying what
people will think is that much time wasted. We should remember that as our difficulties are more important to us
than to others, so are theirs to them.
Men hate each other because they do not understand
each other. The more men know about their neighbors,
either in shop or in the store, in street or in the state —
the less they hate each other, ahd the better will they
work together for the common good.
I know I speak on this subject too often. But it is the
secret of all human relations. It is the only key to better
conditions in labor-management relations, in national affairs,
and in world crises. And it all goes back tio the individual.
Only as you consider the iother man's side of the situation,
only as you recognize that he looks at HIS side first, can
you grow big enough to overlook pettiness and apparent
meanness—remembering that, almost invariably, it is caused
by panic—and can you see clearly enough to arrive at a
justl solution?      •
Why waste Time?

Old Glory
A day traiditionally known as Flag Day, when we pay
our respects to "Old Glory," comes on June 14.
The first Flag Day remembrance took place in 1877
when the Government requested all public buildings to fly
the; national flag in commemroratioh of iis 100th anniversary; .
Since.this time the day is.dedicated to the freedom
that symbolizes America, a flag that is to be respected by
all Americans. It denotes a positive act of pride, perforrrfed
by those who realize the importance] of keeping the red,
white and blue symbol of our nation flying in the breeze.
We, as Americans, on this day should not be lax in
the manner in which we! behave when the flag is.in our
presence. The very fact that we are free to decide how we
want to honor thei flag should be the best reason t» wave it.
Let all of us be proud of our flag and honor it by displaying "OLD GLORY" oh June 14.
People-Crating
A favorite theme of those who advocate use of automobile seatbelts is that we crate goods more carefully than
people. We do. The nation's traffic safety chief, Dr. WiN
liam Haddon Jr., gave the point new emphasis the other
day.
"One of he great mystefries of highway safety," said
he, "is why people who never ship a valuable wedding or
birthday present loose in a box are perfectly content to si'
unrestrained in their automobiles as' if immune to the
crashes which injure over 9,000 of their neighbors each
day." He noted that the lap belt reduces crash injuries by

Friday at noon when tlie new Emergency Report System is switched on in North Canton, this city will become
only the second in Ohio and among the first 100 in the
nation using this up-to-date electronic alarm system. Installation has taken two months and offers 24-hour service
for reporting 1<o police and fire officials from 27 locations
throughout the community.
The new system, using leased
equipment from Ohio Bell Telephone Co., replaces the fourteen
antiquated fire boxes that threatened loss of the city's current
Class 5 fire rating for insurance
purposes.
Lumihous bands mark telephone
poles holding the telephones for
use under the Emergency Report System.
By simply lifting the receiver
aid can be summoned for any
purpose through radio operators
on duty at City Hall.
The system supplies a tape
recording of the report and a
ticker tape machine records date
time and location from which the
call is made.
Line Main Streets
These Emergency Report
phones line Main, Maple and
Porlage Streets and are at all
schools. In addition The Hoover
Co. has installed its own report
phone in the plant guard office.
The system, in addition to the
switchboard in the radio room
at City Hall, has a maintenance
room equipped with storage batJ
teries that could maintain the
system for some 48 hours in the
event-bf power failure.
The system would be used in
connection with the present siren
system that calls volunteer fire*
men and averts motorists plus the

Glenn Murphy, Ohio Bell communications consultant, reports
that in Zanesville, the other Ohio
user 'iof • Emergency Report system, the service has cut false
alarm reports by 80 per cent.
City Council acted ' last ' September to contract for the new
system when it was estimated it
would' cost the city some $35,000
to replace  the  old system.
Weldon C. Page, city administrator, compared this with the
$663.80 montly charge to the city
under the rental system. The
charge 5s shared equally by
police and fire funds.
In addition Ohio Bell will main-
