The RoM Traveled By MilUons j We admit th-at Ameriqa is not a perfect country- making practice conform with, profession in every single instance. Npi one ever claimed perfection for America. But we are correct- when we maintain that the .principles of equal justice andi equal rights are recognized American principles—and that we have made,, and are making-, progress toward putting' them into practice. i-rip^e do not need to be reminded that some Americans disgrace our country by things they say and do. We know about the vandals who desecrated numerous graves in. the Jewish cemetaries of AValdheum, a suburb of Chicago. We also know the clergymen, civic leaders'and businessmen of-the commun-. ity were so outraged that .they joined forces for apprehending the deserators. We know that on July 25th theKu.Klux K)an swore in some new members at Maryville, Tennessee, which is near Knoxville—and that the Klan doesn't fulfill the American ideals of equal justice and equal rights by its anti- Catholic anti-Jewish, and anti-Negro program. At the same time we know that a Knox County grand jury, citing laws which bar "night-riding, intimidating, marauding", found three Klansmen guilty of burning crosses in Knoxville, and plans to continue its investigation of Klan activities. By no means is the Klan having things..its own way. • - But equally good news foj. America is the story of Jean. Minis of Rentz, Georgia. Jean wrote the prize-winning essay in a contest recenty held in Fitzgerald, ,Geoi;gia for high school students of eleven neighboring counties in the Southwestern rural area of the state. She .wrote,- "Over two hundred years ago, a group qf 'foreigners' founded a country on the belief that their ideals of justice and equality were right. Because these people had faith in their ideals, America today is the greatest and strongest nation in the world. Only *^ip^e<^^.^cs^^^S-.^P--'^nS .^ these ideals, which -gggj tl^^r$'^6(3^i5|jii--t^e life-of each true American, will we -tin^te-itio :1&6^fie^g£e!sreHSL-"^^ Hugo- expresses tl^^'The.^tizen free, .the nationaLgreat.' " She wrote, lo^|r.a£>.>weIiv$4in,aiWorld where one's race or religion is a cajuse jfpr.}}fite or gr^judice, w© have .work to do." She .wrote, "Only-in America could .everyone, foreign-born or American- born witE-the same ideals become one!" A correspondent- who read Jean's essay saluted our public school system and wrote, ''As long as our youngsters receive such healthy instruction, we have little to-fear from the.per-, verted thinking of the three K's (Klan, Kolumbians, and Kommunists)." Every one of us—in his own community, his church, his business, his union—has yet plenty to do to keep America on the sure course of her ideals. But, be sure about this—we are on the .right road—in the good company of millions of true, and loyal Americans. v VOL. 24—No. 17 NORTH CANTON, .OHIO, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1948 6c SJNGLE .COPY Little Art Gallery fo Exhibit Water Solera and Sketches by Ted Daniels The Little Art Gallery of the North Canton Library will exhibit the work of Ted B.

Gratitude to America Some people have expressed-doubts as to whether the -people of,the war ravaged lands will have a sufficient feeling of. gratitude to ,the-7&nited States, for the great amount of aid given foi\.their;-di§tress.by our^country and its people.- Although the Americampeople acted generously following World War I ,to..a£d the peoples, who.were suffering- after .that.conflict, it has been'noted thqt a .good many in Europe and elsewhere did not seem to appreciate that help, and they made sour remarks. .- . ;' <£one cannot,-believe that any such lack of gratitude has, been general, in.jEur.ope, or any country elsewhere that received this .gqqgi^is .help. ,it,seems probable that-most of the' people thus aidecl j_new.„ where their, help came from, and that there is in th^.minds of .the masses of those>countries.a.v:ery warm,-and friendly ifeelmg toward the .United States, as" the country from which, help -came in their distress.

February'8, the actual anniversary date of the, .Original incbrpora About 100 guests .including Trustees, staff and-friends of the i^orth Canton Public" - 'Library, .gathered at-the Community 'Building, Friday evening, January .30th to celebrate the twentieth anniversary ,of the Library. Mr. W. H. Leed started the pro- ■-.eram with a few .words of .welcome and a brief statement about the building program which he saia would be-jin as soon as building con'ditiqns were ljettfir. Following his brief introduction, Mrs. Ri- .chard Cochran presented three vocal solos. Mrs. Beth Shorb and. Mrs. Harley Myers briefly sketched the .library ahd its contributions to the -.North Canton Community. Mrs. Shorb recalled the planning attendant upon the organization plans of the institution stressing the role of community organizations, especially the Woman's Club, the ,Wo- . men office employes of the Hoover •Company, and the school children in making possible a growing public library. The .guest .speaker, .Mr. -JPqrter Welch of Massillon, outlined, the literary world of the time of the .ppening of this library, including in 'his" outline, "mechanical, 'aeron-' autical, and inventional progress which was made at the same time. He noted, for instance, that the talking movies date to that time though it seems that much more time has elapsed since that epoch leaking event. 'In talking of today's literature, he remarked that some modern aia- thors are'.udged as immoral, indecent and radical in their views, yet that attitude was subject to change as the years ;go by. much the same as the ' "attitude 'to writers like Dickens and. Hardy has. undergone a'change since'they (wrote. They too were • once' considered, .quite rgdical in their views and writings Briefly he mentioned the infiuenca of book clubs upon the "reading of the American public, .stressing .the fact that q book club could not pos- < sibly satisfy the reading tastes of thousands of people with the same book selection for the .month.- :In conclusion he talked .briefly about the joys of book collecting.

By 8 a.m., the snow had reached a depth of 2.% inches and was turning'into .a .drizzle. A cold waye, whipped .along by-a.tvifid upwards of 25 piles an jipu'r, was bearir^g* down from ^he north central "states, and brought zero temperatures in its wake.

Winter's grip chilled most of the country and threatened grave--damage in Florida, .where freezing-weather arrived at the peak of - the-citrus fruit harvest.

Full Text | The RoM Traveled By MilUons j We admit th-at Ameriqa is not a perfect country- making practice conform with, profession in every single instance. Npi one ever claimed perfection for America. But we are correct- when we maintain that the .principles of equal justice andi equal rights are recognized American principles—and that we have made,, and are making-, progress toward putting' them into practice. i-rip^e do not need to be reminded that some Americans disgrace our country by things they say and do. We know about the vandals who desecrated numerous graves in. the Jewish cemetaries of AValdheum, a suburb of Chicago. We also know the clergymen, civic leaders'and businessmen of-the commun-. ity were so outraged that .they joined forces for apprehending the deserators. We know that on July 25th theKu.Klux K)an swore in some new members at Maryville, Tennessee, which is near Knoxville—and that the Klan doesn't fulfill the American ideals of equal justice and equal rights by its anti- Catholic anti-Jewish, and anti-Negro program. At the same time we know that a Knox County grand jury, citing laws which bar "night-riding, intimidating, marauding", found three Klansmen guilty of burning crosses in Knoxville, and plans to continue its investigation of Klan activities. By no means is the Klan having things..its own way. • - But equally good news foj. America is the story of Jean. Minis of Rentz, Georgia. Jean wrote the prize-winning essay in a contest recenty held in Fitzgerald, ,Geoi;gia for high school students of eleven neighboring counties in the Southwestern rural area of the state. She .wrote,- "Over two hundred years ago, a group qf 'foreigners' founded a country on the belief that their ideals of justice and equality were right. Because these people had faith in their ideals, America today is the greatest and strongest nation in the world. Only *^ip^e<^^.^cs^^^S-.^P--'^nS .^ these ideals, which -gggj tl^^r$'^6(3^i5|jii--t^e life-of each true American, will we -tin^te-itio :1&6^fie^g£e!sreHSL-"^^ Hugo- expresses tl^^'The.^tizen free, .the nationaLgreat.' " She wrote, lo^|r.a£>.>weIiv$4in,aiWorld where one's race or religion is a cajuse jfpr.}}fite or gr^judice, w© have .work to do." She .wrote, "Only-in America could .everyone, foreign-born or American- born witE-the same ideals become one!" A correspondent- who read Jean's essay saluted our public school system and wrote, ''As long as our youngsters receive such healthy instruction, we have little to-fear from the.per-, verted thinking of the three K's (Klan, Kolumbians, and Kommunists)." Every one of us—in his own community, his church, his business, his union—has yet plenty to do to keep America on the sure course of her ideals. But, be sure about this—we are on the .right road—in the good company of millions of true, and loyal Americans. v VOL. 24—No. 17 NORTH CANTON, .OHIO, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1948 6c SJNGLE .COPY Little Art Gallery fo Exhibit Water Solera and Sketches by Ted Daniels The Little Art Gallery of the North Canton Library will exhibit the work of Ted B.

February'8, the actual anniversary date of the, .Original incbrpora About 100 guests .including Trustees, staff and-friends of the i^orth Canton Public" - 'Library, .gathered at-the Community 'Building, Friday evening, January .30th to celebrate the twentieth anniversary ,of the Library. Mr. W. H. Leed started the pro- ■-.eram with a few .words of .welcome and a brief statement about the building program which he saia would be-jin as soon as building con'ditiqns were ljettfir. Following his brief introduction, Mrs. Ri- .chard Cochran presented three vocal solos. Mrs. Beth Shorb and. Mrs. Harley Myers briefly sketched the .library ahd its contributions to the -.North Canton Community. Mrs. Shorb recalled the planning attendant upon the organization plans of the institution stressing the role of community organizations, especially the Woman's Club, the ,Wo- . men office employes of the Hoover •Company, and the school children in making possible a growing public library. The .guest .speaker, .Mr. -JPqrter Welch of Massillon, outlined, the literary world of the time of the .ppening of this library, including in 'his" outline, "mechanical, 'aeron-' autical, and inventional progress which was made at the same time. He noted, for instance, that the talking movies date to that time though it seems that much more time has elapsed since that epoch leaking event. 'In talking of today's literature, he remarked that some modern aia- thors are'.udged as immoral, indecent and radical in their views, yet that attitude was subject to change as the years ;go by. much the same as the ' "attitude 'to writers like Dickens and. Hardy has. undergone a'change since'they (wrote. They too were • once' considered, .quite rgdical in their views and writings Briefly he mentioned the infiuenca of book clubs upon the "reading of the American public, .stressing .the fact that q book club could not pos- < sibly satisfy the reading tastes of thousands of people with the same book selection for the .month.- :In conclusion he talked .briefly about the joys of book collecting.
