BrOi] Fronds Blouin' Establishing a sense of comnjunity --Christian community -- is the goal of the mil who willbeinaugu- rated | October 28 as the third president of Walsh Collegie. Brother Henry Vanasse, provincial of the Order of the Brothers of Christian Instruction and chairman of Walsh's' Board of Trustees will confer the gold medallion symbolizing the power and responsibility of the - college president. Dr. Dominick J. Guzzetta, president of theUniver- sity of Akron and member of Walsh's Board of Trustees since 1974, will make the investiture address and Brother Francis Blouin, -FJ.C;, will offer "Reflections Upon What It Means sHfabWoT_.ighe_ Learning." -;„\ /Brother'.. Francis believes the college should be an aid and a challenge, to the community -- an aid by offering good scholastic and special programs to the entire community and a challenge by asking the tough questions or express- its value system. Quick with a smile^ Bro. Francis brings to his position aninformality, energy and insight that will assist Walsh in meeting the challenge, in fact, serving as president since January, he figured in a 12 percent increase in enrollment this year when other Stark County private colleges lost students. Bro. Francis was born in Rumford, .Me. Feb. 9, 1929. He holds abachelor's degree in history from La Mennals College and a master's degree in European history from Catholic University of America. He undertook doctoral studies in theology at Fordham University and additional graduate studies at Notre Dame University, the University of Detroit and Highlands College, England. He taught in a Fall River, Mass., high school from 1949 to 1954 and in Pittsburgh, N.Y., 1954 to 1960 before becoming principal of St. Ignatius High School in Sanford, Me. and, in 1962, principal of Mt. Assumption High School in Pittsburgh, where he served until 1970. He was Superior of the American Province of the Brothers of Christian Instruction, chairman of the Walsh Board of Trustees from 1970 to 1976, secretary-treasurer 'of the New England Conference of Religious Superiors and member of the Board of Directors of Sangre de Crista Renewal Center in Sante Fe, N_M., from 1970 to 1973. As a religious superior and conference delegate, Bro. Francis travelled extensively in North and South America, western Europe, eastern Africa and the Middle East. He has contributed articles on; prayer, faith and religious life to "The Church World," "Review for Religious", < "Spiritual Life" and the "Canadian Religious Conference Consultations." When a boy grows up without a father he misses out on a lot of the pleasures in life. The time that other boys spend with their dads going fishing, learning about wrenches and spark plugs, or just talk-* ing "man to man" is often wasted in years of loneliness by the boy who has no father to guide him. Big Brothers and Sisters of Greater Canton is one source of help for fatherless boys who due to desertion or divorce are missing out on a great big "slice of life." It provides volunteers to spend 2 to 4 hours a week with children needing a little extra time and love because they have only one parent trying to do the job. But BigBrothers and Sisters can't help withoutcon- cientious, committed volunteers who are willing to share of themselves and their time to help a lonely child before he gets into trouble or drops out of school. Close to 90 boys now wait for a volunteer Big Brother to fill the void in their lives. These boys range in ages from 6 to 14 and represent nearly every ethnic and financial -. groUp :in .ithe Greater Canton area. Although the majority of Little Brothers and Sisters live within Canton itself, there are no geographic boundaries to divorce. Many boys in the North Canton area have waited months to be "matched" to a Big Brother but disappointingly there aren't enough volunteers from our community to make these matches feasible. By calling the Canton YMCA Big Brother andSis- ters, 456-7141, you too can become part of the volunteer movement to support the lonely youth of North Canton. A child needs you. We all need you. Won't you help? AARP Chapter 1400 Meets Next Thursday North Canton Chapter 1400, American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) will hold its regular monthly luncheon meeting at 12 noon on Thursday, Nov. 2 in Zion United Church of Christ. Clay Elson will preside and Carl Hotter, program chairman, has secured Clif Rodgers to present thepro- gram. Mr. Rodgers handles the publicity for Clarkins; Hill stated during Monday's meeting that if North Canton's chances of getting the grant were put on a scale of 1 to 10, it wouldn't even show up on the scale. Ward 2 Councilwoman lDuan Willaman, chairman of the Safety Committee was absent from the Council meeting. Councilman Hill and Councilman - at - Large Glenn Maag.thethirdmem- ber of the Safety Committee, agreed to permit the Board of Control to accept the lowest and best bid the City receives for the EMS vehicle.

Mr. Ebinger asked Council to change the zoning of Neil Spencer's property on W. Maple back to R50. He stated that Mr. Spencer has moved toSummitStreet and his property on W. Maple is for sale. Councilman Maag said the Zoning Committee of Council will look into the matter. During the legislative ' portion of the meeting, Council adopted an ordin- ,, ance,.accepting the platof Beechwood, Commons Siib- divisfon and agreed to enter into a contract with Beechwood Partnership. No. 1 and the Beechwood Recreation Association in respect to the dedication of a recreation area.
