v-^ ^W0- **» Survival of the fittest. A Mass Transit Impetus ".-■ It is now certain that the nation 'will take the historic step of using some of the hitherto inviolate highway Trust Fund money for mass transit purposes. Both Senate and House have passed the measure by overwhelming majorieties, and the White flouse has given assurances that there will be no veto. ;, Putting the Highway Trust Fund .to such use, fcven to a limited extent, will be an extremely important departure from long establishd custom. For many years, special interests have succeeded in thwarting sucji legislation. During those years, it has become .increasingly evident that the problem of urban traffic congestion can only be met by widespread use of buses, rail trtmsit systems and other methods of mass trarisportation. ,l\ AThe measure just enacted by Congress is the result of intensive work by the Senate-House conference committee to reach a workable compromise. The fcesult will be no immediate bonanza: the first Highway Trust Fund money authorized is 200 million dollars for purchase of buses in fiscal year 1975. The next step will' be the release of a much larger sum, 800 million, for rail mass transit. An important new thrust toward solving transportation problems is at last under way.

Day Care Decision Planning Commission on Wednesday, Aug. 22, delayed a decision on issuing a conditional use permit to the Am- erikid Day Care Center Inc. for a proposed day care center on James St. SW, just west of S.Main. Commission chairman Ted Scheffler indicated the controversial request, on which Planners must decide bySept. 20, would be on the agenda for their next meetirif* Sept. 4. William B. Badger, attorney for the James area "residents, asked the commission to enforce the standards spelled out in the city zoning ordinance governing the granting of conditional use permits. "]■ ■. He cited three of the four standards of the code that he said would be violated by granting the request. He listed these as: 1. "The proposed use will generate only a minimum of traffic through a residential neighborhood. 2. "The location, design and operation of such use would not discourage or interfere with appropriate development or impair the value of the surrounding residential development." 3. "The proposed use will not create any objectionable conditions, including, but not limited to, noise or glare or other conditions detrimental to the residential area." Mr. Badger led>a parade of area residents who expressed concern over the increase in traffic at the already congested intersection of James St., a , dead-end street, and S. Main. Robert E. Nagel of 255 James said, "I cannot emphasize too strongly the traffic . problenUhls would-create.To make a left hand turn on to Main St, I usually go south to Hallum to pick up the light, then turrrnorth on Main St." L. P. Scales of 214 James asked if the center, designed for 100 children and 10 supervisors, would overload the sewers in the area. Remarking on the low water pressure in his area, he said, "You can't shower and flush a toilet at the same time now. With that number of children and adults, what will happen to the pressure?" Mr. Scales also cited a realtors'estimate that placing the day care center in the proposed location would lower re- sale value of the existing homes by some five per cent. William Brown of 202 James noted the complete lack of off- street parking for parents with only 10 spaces provided for employees. He also objected to the probably nuisance of the daily two and a half hour outdoor playground period of that number of children. Edward Corbett, site acquisition employee of Amer- ikid, said he first learned .July 20 of the error last November by Forest Moore, superintendent of permits and inspection, in issuing a zoning permit. At that time he sought the conditional use permit as requied by law. Building plans, filed with the original request last fall, show the site to be 120 by 200 feet and the stucco-finished building would be 60 by 83. An enclosed playground would be constructed to the rear of the property. Amerikid, which accepts youngsters 3-6, has 42 such day care centers in eight states. Operating as a franchise firm for three years from its Columbus office, the firm has 19 such centers under construction at the present time. One is adjacent,to the Amherst Shopping Center in Massillon, Mr. Corbett said. Mr. Corbett indicated the James St. site had been chosen after a survey of the population within a two-mile area showed the income level would make it possible for working mothers to afford the center. It also took into account the number of mothers with preschool children and the large number of working mothers. Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission accepted the preliminary plat for Northbury Knolls Allotment being developed on a 63- acre tract on the city's East side, north of East Maple St. ,J" NORTH CANTON.

This will be Mr. Peters' third term as commander for Post 419, his'first coming following World Warn. Completing the official staff are Wayne Graybill, finance officer, and Homer Hawley, sergeant-at-arms. They were installed Aug. 20 in the new post home, 195 Charlotte St. NW, by the post's first cofemander, John Stover, of North' Canton. The post's annual fish fry is set .for Sept. 14 at? Hoover Park. ■ ". ji*' ' ' i i A'.*'' :A ' i Free Lunches Available Under Federal Funds North Canton Board of Education has announced a free meal policy for school children unable to pay the "full price of meals served tn - schsjols- under the National ScrioblVLqncJivand School' Breakfast Programs. Local school officials have adopted the federal guidelines of^cale for us in' determining/eligibility. Children from families whose income is at or below set minimums are eligible for free meals. In addition, families not meeting this criteria but with other unusual expenses due to unusually high medical expenses, shelter costs in excess of 30 percent of income, special education expenses due to the mental or physical condition of a child, and disaster or casualty losses may apply also. They may do so by fillingin the application forms sent home with a letter to parents. Additional copies are available at the principal's office in each school. The information provided on the application will be confidential and will be used only for the purpose of determining eligibility. Applications may be submitted anytime during the school year. In certain cases, foster children are also eligible for these benefits. If parents have such children living with them and wish to apply for such meals, they should contact the school. In the operation of child feeding programs, no child will be discriminated against because of his race, sex, color, or national origin. Under the provision of the policy the Director of Business Affairs Maurice Oatley will review applications and determine elgibility. If a parent is dissatisfied with the ruling of the official, he may make a request either orally or in writing to Dr. James E. Brandau, Superin- dent of Schools, for a hearing to appeal the decision. Hearing procedures are outlined in the policy. A complete copy of the policy is on file in each school and in the office of the Superintendent of Schools where it may be reviewed by any interested party.

School Bus Schedules North Canton School District will be using 17 buses to transport 2,700 students daily according to C. Maurice Oatley, director of business affairs. "All schedules have been updated and improved. From the standpoint of efficiency and economy, they represent the best we can offer'without sjj a r p 1 y increasing operar tional costs. We would like to expand our service, but it. is just not possible with present levels of funding and equipment," Mr. Oatley said. He pointed out that the routes, times and stops are guidelines, subject to change when necessary. Only minor changes will or can be made in the high school and junior high routes and it has been impossible to service any new areas for this age group this school year, he reported. All buses received their safety checks by the Ohio Highway Patrol after comprehensive inspection July 31. Youngsters are urged to be early for that first run next Wednesday and until a routine time can be established. Kin-, dergarten scheduling will remain the same as last school year and all special education pupils will be riding regular buses wherever possible. All questions about student :^r4*uffiportatt0iu..or., schedules, can be dijrected tb Mr. Oatley at 499-7922.

Hoover High - St. Paul's Bus 2 - Trip 2 Chandler & Thunderbird 7:42 (Continued to page 5) Mr. Wehl referred to a January, 1971, citizens committee study that recommended a combined sewerage system for central Stark County that would be operated as a public utility and spread the costs on an "equitable basis". "Unless something is done to carry out this generally understood concept of a central disposal plant, then we must go ahead with construction of our own plant if we are to realize appropriate service for appropriate charges." Mr. Wehl said. He cited the 1966 comprehensive sewer survey con-- ducted for the city by Havens & Emerson and the resultant approval of the plans in February, 1968, by the State Department of Health for a local sewerage disposal plant. The city may be on the way to solving the 14-year-old problem of sanitary sewer backup into homes in the Woodside and Clearmount Ave. SE areas according to a report to Council Monday night by Cliff Gehrum, city administrator. Two 90 degree angle turns in the sewer lines are believed the cause for the impacting of the lines causing the flooding into basement lavatories. Mr. Gehurm has been authorized to proceed immediately on enlarging the radii of these angles to give abetter flow to the larger lines along Schneider Rd. Mr. Gehrum also reported three men have been hired to conduct a "smoking' of the entire sanitary sewer system to detect illegal storm drain hook-ins, which he blames for excessive flow in the sanitary lines adding to the flooding problem. T. J. Connolly of929Clear- mount Ave. SE commented "This is the 25th solution we've been offered since 1958, anything you can do to keep this junk out of our basements will be appreciated." . Still on the sewer problem, Council voted to authorize advertising for bids for the Pleasantview Ave. SE sanitary sewer project. At a meeting with homeowners last Thursday, the project was estimated at $21,600. The Roger Viscountes of SAFETY TOWN GRADUATION. Friday, Aug. 24", was graduation day at Clearmount School for the last of five "'Safety Town" sessions sponsored by North Canton Jaycees with the cooperation of the local police and fire department. Ptl. Richard Hammond pf the Police Dept. presents a diploma to young Brian Bailey, who was among some 250 students attending sessions that began in mid-June under the guidance of (right) Director Mrs. Stanley Vogel. The 5 and 6-year-olds learned safety rules in a miniature; village set up mornings and afternoons on the school playground. The course also taught classroom manners, safety while walking or riding bikes to and from school, behavior while riding a school bus, and familiarized them with highway signs and signals. This is the third consecutive year for the local Safety Town program.
