.; I SAID, CUT SPENDING!" ttfe &un Vol. 49 - No. 8 - One Section 14 Pages NORTH CANTON, OHIO. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER .3, 1971 10c per copy;.$4.50 per year by Mail; $6.00 Outside County -: ■ ■ r-. ^ . Tax Crush Hurts Public opinion surveys show that the average American feels that he is being crushed beneath vhe load of taxation being heaped on him. He wants the tax burden eased. The recent Louis Harris survey indicated that by a better than two-to-one margin, respondents said that "taxes have reached the breaking point." The specific figures show that 64 percent had reached this conclusion, as opposed to 25 percent who said they had not; 66 percent said Fdderal taxes were too high, compared to 27 percent who said the reverse; and 69 percent would sympathize with a tax revolt, as against only 17 percent who would not. These landslide majorities should serve as a warning to legislators that the public is fed up with excessive government spending as the panacea for America's economic ills. Tfre only way to regain the confidence of the electorate is to establish long-range priorities, eliminate bureaucratic duplication, and reduce overall spending. For Man's Use and Benefit Aside from the outworn notion that everything's fair game, there are two basic points of view with regard to the killing of polar bears, whales, seals, dolphins and other sea mammals. Some feel that the destruction of such animals, many seriously waning in numbers, should be halted altogether. Some regard these creatures as wildlife resources which ought to be Ynanaged" — that is, hunted, but under conservation-minded controls. The hitter view was espbusec* By" IliTe^Watiionai Wildlife Federation^ _,t the start of Congressional hear- ings*on proposals to ban or regulate the killing of marine animals. This group's spokesman, Thomas L. Kimball, said that not all such animals need protection and argued for management "for the use and benefit of man." Would not "the use and benefit of man" be best served by leaving them to thrive as an inviolate part of our dwindling natural heritage? 'There are very compelling arguments in support of that outlook, particularly since the carcasses of these animals contribute nothing essential or even very important to human life. V The Mixmasters Some 350,000 children are riding on school buses this fall because a bunch of social engineers believe that the races must be mixed, and that the public schools are the most convenient mixmasters. In days of yore, schools were places where youngsters were educated. Today they are laboratories where the latest sociological brainstorms are tested, with the children as guinea pigs. The current syl- logiam seems to go something like this: Nobody can be happy unless he mixes with other races and cultures; school is a place to learn how to be happy; therefore, racial balance must be achieved in schools. TJhere are other arguments designed to reach the same racial balance conclusion, including twisted versions of the Equal Protection Clause, and various contentions holding that children are unable to learn while amidst classmates of their own color. Chief Justice Warren Burger stated that judges in the lower courts were not interpreting the Supreme Court correctly if they were ordering busing of children in the belief that the Court required racial balance in every school. But the statement came conveniently late; the lower court orders were out and the buses were running. Negro parents, in Pompano Beach, Florida, asked for the resignation of the school superintendent because of forced busing of black children into white -.neighborhoods. Lumbee Indians in Maxton, North ^Carolina, managed to prevent the opening of classes in a'protest against the desegregation of formerly all- Indian schools. In San Francisco, Chinese parents appealed to the Supreme Court to block school busing of their chil-' dren out of Chinatown. The parents said that their neighborhood school system allowed their children to study Chinese art, language and culture at classes which began at the end of the sdhool day. If the children were forced to travel long distances to school, they would not reach home in time to attend these classes. The Chinese parents were turned down. Instead of tearing these children away from their cultural environment in the name of racial balance, the experts should study that culture and discover why (juvenile delinquency is so rare in the Chinese communities of America. Even Whitney Young, a lifelong advocate of in-, tegration, finally wrote that "Integration is no longer the issue, the issue today is equality." Equality is found within the context of diversity, for no two people, whatever the color of their skins, }are exactly alike. And all the school buses in the world won't make them so. Johnson Wins Mayoral Race Everhard Area Sewer Project Hearing Held Enthusiasm was absent when some 100 property owners in the Everhard Rd. SW area attended a public hearing on installing sanitary sewers last Wednesday. The biggest objection was the cost - about $2,600 per lot. James Gills from Frank Thomas & Associates explained the proposed sewage project was given priority because of the planned paving of Everhard Rd. "We don't feel we should tear up four lanes of pavement after Everhard is completed,' Gills said. "So we are making plans to complete the sewer lines -. about a year before the road is paved to meet state specifications.' The 97 properties involved in the project are on Everhard, Salway Ave. SW, Wilkshire, Car-Mar arid Rogwin Circles SW, Heatherwood St. and Jonathan Ave. SW. Of the total estimated cost of some $318,000, Mr. Gills said about 25 per cent would be paid by the city because of areas already served by city sewer, lots outside the city, and intersections. This leaves some $250,000 to be divided 97 ways or $2600 per lot. It does not include connections from the street which must be contracted for privately by residents for $5 or $6 per foot. Final decision on whether to go ahead wi,th the project will l?e made by City Council. Mr. Gills abided that testbor- ings»s_pwith- araMs»;weVand. contains.lar|e amoiirif s.. df' gravel whicli ifiaice it more costly to install'sewer fines. He advised going ahead with the project before prices rise further. Mayor Charles B. Strausser said waiting and tearing up Everhard Rd. would add considerably to the cost, and added that all of the central core area of Stark County will have sewers within the next 10 years because of increasing stream pollution. Those who own several lots must pay for each lot even though it is vacant, Mr. Gills said. The Mayor added that persons who feel their estimated assessments are not fair may register complaints with an e- qualization board which will be appointed if the project is approved by Council. Several persons said they were for the project and felt it should go ahead quickly. Some objected so vigorously they asked how they could de- annex from the city. Others joked that the city would have to build a debtors prison if the assessments were made. Still others said they would be registering objections with their councilman or that they would attend the next Council meeting at 7 p.m. Monday,Nov. 8 in Council Chambers at 121 S. MainSt. Mr. Gills said the project would not qualify for state or federal aid because it is not a trunk line. He added that no sump pumps would be necessary because the line would be lower than any basements in the area. The sewer line would be eight inches in diameter, more than adequate for the present population in the area. Those who would have city sewer and not city water would pay a flat rate set by the city rather than a rate based on water usage, which most residents pay, Mayor Strausser said. State law mandates that those with city sewer in front of their homes must connect vrtthin a year, he added. When asked why the^area south of Everhard could ndtbe itfcnideo/ltiyaie. project, .Mayor_. Strausser said it is a matter of the city, not having sufficient funds to do too much at one time. If approved, construction would begin about next March and be completed in six months, Mr. Gills said, adding'that the contractor is required to repair any property damage within a year of completion. Peoples-Merchants To Open New Office Here Peoples Merchants Trust Co. will open a temporary "Mini- Max" office in North Canton this week. Located at N. Main St. and Holl, next to the new Post Office under construction, Peoples Merchants initially will have a temporary office to be replaced by a permanent building at a later date. Called a "Mini-Max' office, the bank will offer maximum banking services in a minimum of space. Included among the banking services provided will be drive-in banking facilities. Robert L. Joliet, Chairman and Preside..? of Peoples-Merchants announced that Charles T. Bogardus, Vice President, will manage bank operations in North Canton. Mr. Bogardus joined Peoples-Merchants in April of 1971 as a Vice-President. Mr. Bogardus is a charter member and past president of the North Canton Area Chamber of Commerce. In 1969 he won the Wayne Carpenter Award for distinguished service to the CHamber and the community. He also served six terms as president of the North Canton Student Loan Foundation and is currently amemberofitsBoard of Trustees. Mr. Bogardus is a director and treasurer of the Young Citizens Award Foundation and of the Friends of the Little Art Gallery. He is also a charter member of Faith United Methodise Church; William H.Hoover Lodge, F. & A.M.; and North Canton Lodge, BPOE. He is a member of the North Canton Rotary Club and Coudersport Consistory, AASR. He and his family live at 437 Witwer St. NE. Mr. Joliet said, "We're very pleased to be a part of North Canton.
