We onoe UV. "America First" become a term' of derision. /jButJs that fair?   .When WE say "America First,"

Ohio University in Athens, June
8-1.6. Capitol University in Columbus was the site of the Girls'
State 'convention June 17-24.

We mean that we believe in the ideals that have made ored b   the American Le
America first among nations. We will evidence this belief gion Auxiliary, the North Canton
by keeping these, ideals first in our 'hear s and in our lives, junior Women's Club, and thc
Not only will we be "from many one"—but we will be one North Canton Women's Club.
FOR the many. We will work one for all, not all for one,
We mean that we believe in the eqr.ality of all men before tho law with equal access to justice in fae7.. But the
equality of individuals, like the equality of people, cannot be
granted by law. Equality depends on the individual achieve-
naents, and upon intrinsic wotrh. We will' prove our beliefs
in :',his equality by not discriminating against any of
our fellow citizens.
We mean that WE believe in the Constitution of the
United States as the framework of the form of government
under which we wan/j to live. We will therefore, see to it
that our Bill of Rights, and its corresponding Bill of Responsibilities is not infringed upon by us in any particular.
We mean that we believe in the system of free enterprise under which we have flourished, a system free from
compulsory labor, irresponsible private power, arib rary public authority and unregulated monopolies. We believe in an
opportunity for productive work at a fair wage and under
good standards for every man or woman who wants to work.
We will do our part of thafi work honestly and thoroughly.
We mean that Ave believe in the freedom of the self-
governed. We will, in respect for that freedom, put the re-
sr'araint of self-control and good taste upon our tongues
and pens.
We mean that we believe in majority rule. We will,
therefore, willingly and cheerfully abide by the decision of
the majority—until the next election — cooperating will
our fellow Americans to build a finer, stronger and more
prosperous nation.
We mean that we.believe in the great tradition for
which America' stands. We will, through our combined, individual efforts, keep America so strong, so self-contained,
that it is capable of retaining its individual in) egrity while
it lives in brotherhood with men of every race or nationality
America first—yes, but let US keep it always Amejrican.
Delegates are chosen on the
basis of scholastic achievement,
responsibility, and interest in
government.
Alth6_:!h the programs take
place in different places and at
different times, they are similar in structure. There are two
political parties, the Nationalists
and the Federalists. The dormitories each represent a county,
and each floor represents a city.
The counties and cities are nam-
yd after famous persons.

Teamwork Needed
Kichard G. Waltenbaugh
Richard G. Waltenbaugh of 125
W. Ninth St. took out a petition
at the board of elections for Ward
I Councilman in the November
elections.
Mr. Waltenbaugh, who is a
graduate of Miami University in
Oxford, Ohio, with a major in
political science, has served on
City Council'''"previously ;'for '■ 4
years, from 1959 to 1963. He has

St. Paul Assistant Fr.  Gawron
Survivor of Nazi Imprisonment
With two-thirds of our popular ion living in urban areas
and approximately 85 per cent of the people living on less
than 2 per cent of the land, it is easy to understand the
growing national concern for a prompt solution to improving both air and water.
In defining the causes of air polution, a recent report
by the National Academy of Sciences said that less than
one-third of the principal a mosphere pollutants released
in the U. S. comes from manufacturing or electric generating stations. The remaining two-thirds comes from other
sources, such as auto gases and municipal sewage plants.
Murray Stein, chief enforcement off iter of the Federal
"Wafer Pollution''Control Administration?' has' statSd''that
"The underlying cause of water pollution is that all over
the country you have municipal sewage systems that are
inadequate for the loads that have been imposed on them
in the lasf. fqw years."
Air and water contamination involves all American
society. Pollutants are released whenever backyard leaves
are burned, whenever an automobile is used, whenever
apartment or municipal trash is incinerated, whenever inadequate city sewage treatment facilities discharge wastes
into rivers. , #
H. C. Thayer, chairman of the Area Industrial Problems Committee stated recently "The Executive branch of
government has responsibilities set forth in the law for
securing broad cooperation, supporting research and engineering and producing a measure of leadership.
"Industry also has responsibilities for anticipating regulations and becoming prepared to meet them, cooperating
with local, stai'e and Federal agencies and applying its own
resources and skills to abatement and control." Mr. Thayer
explained.
Let's all get to work now!
Democracy At Work
"''    Most American voters do not com'e in direct contact
with Iheir legislators. They meet  their  elected  officials
through the ballot box, the coffee, party or the candidates'Nazi
fair They follow the progress of various bills through the Auschwitz to Austria and then
newspaper columns. They write letters to. the editor and moved _, 1944 to Buchenwald in
sometimes to their _tate isenatbrs.
This is as close as thei average citizen gets to the
making of his spate's laws. Seldom does he visit the state
capitol. Although he is aware of committee hearings, technicalities and the rules of protocol that surround the,legM"
ifiive process, he is likely to see them as a barrier between
'ESnself and the legislature. ., .    . .
Yet they are an impressive part of a legislative; process
that works either because of or in (spi ie of them. They are
worth seeing first hand. And so we suggest a visit to the
legislative sessions—with the children, if they are of an
During the first few days ot
each program, the delegate^
were occupied with . campaigning and elections. Following the
elections, they "settle down''
into their new jobs. . j
The American Legion, sponsors of Boys' State, arid the Auxi
iliary, sponsors of Girls' State;
take charge of the planning so
that the mock government will
run smoothly.
At Boys' State Bill Ginther, a
Federalist, was a Delegate to
the State Party Convention and
was elected to the House of Repi-
resentatives. He represented
Kitchen City, from Cole. County!
He sponsored a bill calling for
compulsory sex education at the'
ninth grade level in schools..'Although it was passed Toy the
House, it was rejected fey a Senate committee.
As it has done every year for*
ten years, the Boys' Sta'te. leg-.
islature passed a bill lowering
the voting age to 19 in Ohio. Thtf
bill was also passed in a special
public ole'ctlon. However,' thd
Girls' Slate senators, and' rep?
resentatives failed a similar oillj-
,as has been done annually; Th^
Bovs' State bill was sent with
Recommendations to the Ohio
General Assembly. '
Tom Strauch, running on the
Nationalist ticket, was defeated
'n his hid for the House of Representatives. He was later ap;
nointed sergeant-at-arms for
that body. He resided in Patterson Citv, Eldon County.
Among the outstanding speakers at the Boys' State program
were Governor James A. Rhodes and Vince Costello, linebaek
er for the Cleveland Browns.
Both boys were enthusiastic
about the experience. "It war-
more than I had hoped for" said
Bill. "Very little could be donr

"You could tell everyone there
