Dane-geld
f
Kipling once wrote a poem about the Danish pirates who,
nearly a thousand years ago, preyed on the coast of England
and collected Dane-geld to stay away; and he showed how
fallacious was the idea that "paying Dane-geld ever got rid
of the Dane."
The nations of the world learned again at Munich that
"peace in our time" only m6ant that our time was measured.
What's the difference in dictators? Whether it be Mussolini strutting on his balcony, Hitler screaming in a rage—
or Stalin making his puppetsJ walk out whenever he can't
have' his own way—or other lesser dictators, ready to do exactly the same things whenever the chips are not all on their
side of the table ?
A dictator is a dictator and it never pays to appease him.
But—the one thing we always can do is—not to do business
with liim. It doesn't make any difference whether for the moment he is on our side of the fence or the other. His methods
are wrong. And we certainly learned as children that the
only way to make a bully, change his tune is not to play with
him.
Brutal talk ? Yes, but these be brutal times. The peace we
hoped for after the war is not here. The peace we wanted we
are not achieving. Our time seems again to be but seconds.
Why? Because we have appeased. We want about what we
thought was our business instead of taking care of the most
important business of all. We agreed, compromised and acquiesced in order to concentrate on our own affairs and forgot tfrat in order to Tiave the read, smooth the line must be
true. We paid Bane-geld—and not only overseas.
Caifr we -stili^correct mv errors V y/p ean-^-but only if as individuals **^;tM^,back\'x! tii$ st%i«'J5t,iin.eK-and -we must
not de it at-)the expense of any one, of any group, of any
nation. We must make up our mind what we want—and
mak6*every. one know that we do know what we want.
This is .^.s true today as it was in the days of which Kipling wrote. We must do as he advised, and stand firm, armed
^tnd ready, that we may be able to say:
' ,' "We never pay any one Dane-geld
,' '       No matter how^ trifling the cost,
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
--£,        And the nation that plays it is lost!"
Questions We Cannot Escape
The purpose" of American society to make steady progress
toward the goal of liberty and justice for all has never been
better defined than it^Was by" Abraham' Lincoln.   Starting,
from '.the principles of the Declaration of Independence, Mr.
Lincoln said, "Public opinion on any subject-always has a
'central idea' from which all its minor thoughts radiate. The
'central idea' in our public opinion at the beginning' was . . .
'the equality of man'; and, although it has always submitted
^patiently whatever inequality seemed to be a matter of act-
^ual necessity, its constant working has been a steady and
"^progressive effort towards the practical equality of all men."
What Mr. Lincoln said so truly and so clearly in the middle
of the 19th century is stillttrue and must always remain true
of America. Democracy,in this country is tested and proved
in every generation by; the degree to which it succeeds, in
applying the principles of the Declaration of Independence to
the lives of all the American people.
Is there more opportunity for more people so' that the sons
of the lowliest may, by the exercise of virtue and hard work,
attain the goal toward whic¥ they strive? Are"the civil rights
of all guaranteed and protected so that, in the wise employment of them, men of talent, however obscure today; may
live to bless the common life of. us all .tomorrow?. Is racial
and religious prejudice—and its unseemly offspring, discrimination.—consigned to the limbo of all foul and unjust things
which' do not belong in a country like ours?
These are the questions which sincere and conscientious
Americans have always asked about America and to which
they, have sought the right answers. For by them the progress of our American way. of. life is tested. We cannot, escape,
them .because, in Mr. Lincoln's words,'the constant working
of public opinion in America "has been a steady and progressive effort towards the practical, equality of all men."
*
Driving to the Right
One habit which causes some automobile accidents, is the
tendency of some drivers .to drive too near the center of the
road. There is a temptation to a fast driver to get away too
far from the side., It takes aJittlet-more time on a curving
highway to keep near the right side, and the side of the
road may be & little rougher^- ..      - • --
If on one of these' curves a car comes around swiftly, the
driver who' is too" close to the center 3s sometimes in danger
of getting hit. Then there are the-impatient people who can't
wait a bit before passing a slower car, and who try to pass
when they are rounding & curve" when* the road ahead is .concealed. If they get well over to the-left side, and if a car
comes*fast in the opposite direction, there is often danger of
a smash. ,        * * **

North Ganton Annexation
Approved by County Board
 . .       %
County commissioners announced that they have approved
the annexation of 200.38 acres of-land to the corporation of
North Canton. -' '   I   ,' j
The land is in two tracts, one east of the present corporate
limits and the other to the north and residents in the area
voted in favor of annexation at the primary election.
In hearings 'before the commissioners protests against the proposed annexation were registered
by a majority of the resident property owners in the section north
of the village and east of the Canton-Akron road but the commissioners held that they could not divide the territory without injury'to
the whole general plan.
In a formal statement issued in
announcing their decision, the
commissioners called attention to
the fact that a majority of persons
affected voted in favor of annexation and that health, sanitary, fire
and police protection as well as
zoning and building regulations
can be handled better by the village than by the county authorities.
"The village of North Canton,"
the statement says, "is a beautiful
city of nice homes, large industry,
good,business and the best of environment, all of which are very
inducive to progress and future
growth of the-village."
"After careful study of the territory affected, it seems impossible to exclude any portion of the
proposed annexation without destroying the symmetry and geographical limitations of the remaining affected territory."
The anexation now becomes effective and village officials have
declared that the village is now
ready to extend all of its muncipal
Services to the territory included in
the merger.

clear china, through which light

Beloved Teacher Honored at Reunion Saturday
Miss Anna Metzger, was the guest of honor at a reunion
dinner held Saturday night, August 3 at the Hoover Camp,
by members of her school classes which she taught 56 years
ago.
Miss Metzger, who is now 58 years old, was boa*n just
north'of Middlebranch and was four years old when her parents moved into the southwest cor
r
ner of Canton Township. Before
settling in Ohio her parents had
moved here from Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Miss Metzger received her certificate »for teaching from Stark
County officials after graduating
from high school, -in what was then
New Berlin. She attended summer
school and taught grade school for
six years, having three grades and
77 pupils in her room each day,
with 13 students attending her
classes in arithmetic and geography making a total for those
classes of 90 students. After six
years Miss Metzger took a leave
of absence and attended Ohio
Northern University where she received her A. ,jB. Degree in 1895.
Returning . to New Berlin, Miss
Metzger again took up her teach
ing duties, but this time she taught
the 6, 7 and 8th grades.
Miss Metzger was one of the
schools teaching staff of two, Mr.
W. F. Harsh being the other teacher. Besides teaching the 77 pupils
from the -first through the fifth
grades, Miss Metzger also had several other duties connected with
her job of teaching some of which
were shoveling1 snow in the winter
and firing the stove and chopping
ice from the water bucket.
