Summers Fulton Principal Faces Five Suits Did You Register? It is the open season on politicians. And in the coming weeks political issues will be discussed more freely — and more vehemently — than the price of meat or what the Russians will do next. That's all right. Its better to talk out than to hit out. But—have you noticed how much loose talk there is going on about the.political reason back of. every act, about ^fetiilding political fences, about practical polities? It looks as "Though we had come to think of politics as the science of putting something over, and of politicians as a peculiar breed of crooks. Why should we assume that all those who are in or who seek elective offices have low motives? Would we in their places? Can not we believe they are at least as honest, as patriotic as we are—until we^find to the contrary? If, or when, we do, there is aways the ballot box to correct the situation. According to the dictionary, a voter is "one who votes". But there is a great discrepancy between the number of voters and- the number of people who cajn vote. When we refer to the backslidings of other nations, we speak of voting as a. great and much-to-be-desired privilege—but—-have you voted at every election? Have you exercised your privilege— or were you one of those who were too busy to go to the polls, or-who didn't like any of the candidates who. were chosen in the primaries—at which you didn't vote because it "wasn't important"? Are you a voter? What is an election? I like the dictionary's final definition. "Any choice between alternatives; free choice, especial ly of means to. an end; hence, discretion; responsibility." In a p"rizewinning essay written by Ralph Bushnell Potts, for the American Bar Association Committee on ftmerican Citizenship a couple of years ago, there was a aragraph which I intend to quote every. election time. T * wish it could be" framed in every voting booth. "I vote'jas if ray ballot alone decided the contest. I may 3os.e my- preference, but I will not throw away my scared vote. For within the booth I hold in my humble'hand the living proxy of all my country's honored dead." There is no moral to this article. It is just an earnest plea that as a citizen and voter you will think the issue out for yourself, ignoring party labels and catch phrases. Consider your own responsibility in the coming election and with careful, dispassionate thought Roads Have Personalities Roads have a peculiar fascination for me. They mind their own business so admirably—just keeping on going, skirting obstacles when they conveniently can, but not hesitating to got through if it is necessary. They have as many different personalities as people—and in some cases, the same faults. However you look upon roads—whether as a means of getting somewhere fast, or as a way that leads to a new place and a new start, or as a tie that binds people closer together, or as a pulsing artery of a nation's life—you will find a lesson in them. Probably that is what the analogy of roads to. life has-been made so often. I've done it myself. jk But there are two thoughts I would like to pass on. One *ts the tale of the wife who asked her husband why he was stopping the, autoanombile. "The road book says to turn north and follow the trolley. We'll have to wait until one comes along", he replied. Stupid? Of course. But—how often have you waited for the trolley to come along so. you could follow it? For the other fellow,tp get; up and offeran. idea? For some one else to act first?. Yes, I know..You followed once the way was shown.^ You didn't know the road? So what? Couldn't you drive carefully and work it out for yourself? After all, someone built the roads. Someone pioneered for the advantages with which you-are discontented. How about your doing something for those who will follow you ? Why block traffic by sitting still waiting for someone to show you the way? The other idea came in a letter. "It isn't the bends in the road that worry us, but the crossroads." You know, there is a lot of meat in-that sentence. We are used to manoeuver- ing around situations, to taking changes as they come—but when the need for a decision arrives—that is another matter. That is when we have to stop and think. And don't we hate that! (I said we with intention. I am guilty, too.) There is one thing we can do when we come to a crossroad.' We'can' look upon it as an opportunity, hot as1- an ordeal. We _know_where we are going—and what we want to do is to take the rpadTbnat leads there, not be led astray by Howard E. Ramsey, Airport Manager Resigns Post at New Field Howard E. Ramsey, manager at the new Akron-Gantori Memorial Airport has resigned effective December 1. A vet?' eran engineer and field director, Mr. Ramsey guided the new" airfield through its construction period and catered to its growing t>ains during the past few years. ■Mr. Ramsey stated that his work during- the early development of the field had been most interesting and enjoyable. Now that the field is fairly well developed for the time being and in excellent con- j dition, he prefers a different activity than that of attending to the routine day-to-day operation of the field. He took over his duties at the field on April 1, 1946. several months before the runways and taxi strips were completed. During his stay, the service building, which houses the weather bureau, airport office and pumping station, was erected, the temporary administration building and control tower were built, the water and sewer system laid and more than a mile of service roads have been constructed. Before he leaves. Mr. Ramsey -will turn in a report covering- future development of the airport which needs a study of future building needs; such as a permanent terminal and another pumping station and a study of the cargo development at the field. Mr. Ramsey saw the airport grow from a barren field to a busy terminal for four commercial airlines. There are 34 passenger and 3 cargo flights * to the field daily and in a month more than 4,0OG Berlin Crisis Dissussed With Dewey Howard E. Ramsey passengers are served and more than 200,000 pounds of cargo shipped. When the control tower is placed in use about December 1 operations will be near 100 percent. "I have no definite plans as yet", said Mr. Ramsey, "but I expect to stay in the vicinitv." His successor will be named by the board of trustees. A total of five damage suits' were filed in Common Pleas Court against Virgil M. Summers, Canal Fulton school principal, in connection with the shooting of several bovs celebrating last Halloween. The first three suits filed early last week totaled $3,398.08, and the last two suits filed later in the weeks were for $2,500 and $344.- 10. Summers, who was a third grade teacher at the Viflage school when the shooting occurred, was naiir.ed as defendant in two $1,500 personal injury actions filed by Terrence L. and Raymond Bremkamp, 17 and 19-year-old brothers respectively, and a suit of $398.08 by their father, Carl W. BremkaniD of R. D. 1, Canal Fulton, for hospital and nursing service. Merle Gordon, 19, of River Rd„ Canal Fulton, sued Mr. Summers for $2,500 damages for injuries suffered when- he was struck by a number of shotgun pellets fired when Mr. Swimmers saw the boys near a building at the rear of his home. Alva R. Gordon, father of the youth, also filed suit for $344.10 damages incurred for medical, nursing and hospital «xienses. Summers is alleged to have wounded the Bremkamp boys and Merle Gordon, when he fired a shotgun blast at them while thev were near the Suim,mers house. Mr. Summers said he feared the boys would attempt .to upset one of his outbuildings. He said he had no intention of shooting them. The three youths suffered buckshot wounds in the legs and back. The -Bremkamps were treated at the Massillon City Hospital and Gordon was confined there for several days. Summers was arrested on a charge of shooting with intent to wound filed against him by the father of the Bremkajm.p youths. He later was permitted to plead guilty to a lesser charge of as;.-, sault and batterv and was $200 and costs. y-,r Rural Zoning Needs MRS. SMITH WITTER TO ADDRESS MOTHERS' GROUP JOHN L.

Rural zoning for unincorporated areas present problems that require careful consideration before zoning measures can be drawn by localities or 'master- plans' set up for them, County Commissioner Oliver Kuhn told members of the Canton Real Estate Board at their weekly meeting. ''The state zoning law is a .good thing," Mr. Kuhn said, "and its operation can be very benificial. But because of the problems involved, I think it wise to go slow in working out a zoning plan for the country." He cited the widespread varia- tio"n™in-'~l6c"a"lJ,*corairtibns'" throughout Stark-. County as causes of of possible inequities in a uniform, code and the parallel confusion that could be caused by a wide variety of separate codes for each locality as examples of the different county-wide zoning presents. iL.

Roraback, attorney outlined the operation of the county rural zoning commission to the Women's Council of Real Estate Board and stated that when the plan had been completed it would be submitted to electors of the various townships.

Virgil M. Summers
Fulton Principal
Faces Five Suits
Did You Register?
It is the open season on politicians. And in the coming
weeks political issues will be discussed more freely — and
more vehemently — than the price of meat or what the
Russians will do next. That's all right. Its better to talk out
than to hit out.
But—have you noticed how much loose talk there is
going on about the.political reason back of. every act, about
^fetiilding political fences, about practical polities? It looks as
"Though we had come to think of politics as the science of
putting something over, and of politicians as a peculiar breed
of crooks.
Why should we assume that all those who are in or who
seek elective offices have low motives? Would we in their
places? Can not we believe they are at least as honest, as
patriotic as we are—until we^find to the contrary? If, or
when, we do, there is aways the ballot box to correct the
situation.
According to the dictionary, a voter is "one who votes".
But there is a great discrepancy between the number of
voters and- the number of people who cajn vote. When we
refer to the backslidings of other nations, we speak of voting
as a. great and much-to-be-desired privilege—but—-have you
voted at every election? Have you exercised your privilege—
or were you one of those who were too busy to go to the
polls, or-who didn't like any of the candidates who. were
chosen in the primaries—at which you didn't vote because
it "wasn't important"? Are you a voter?
What is an election? I like the dictionary's final definition. "Any choice between alternatives; free choice, especial
ly of means to. an end; hence, discretion; responsibility."
In a p"rizewinning essay written by Ralph Bushnell
Potts, for the American Bar Association Committee on
ftmerican Citizenship a couple of years ago, there was a
aragraph which I intend to quote every. election time. T
* wish it could be" framed in every voting booth.
"I vote'jas if ray ballot alone decided the contest. I
may 3os.e my- preference, but I will not throw away
my scared vote. For within the booth I hold in my
humble'hand the living proxy of all my country's
honored dead."
There is no moral to this article. It is just an earnest
plea that as a citizen and voter you will think the issue out
for yourself, ignoring party labels and catch phrases. Consider your own responsibility in the coming election and with
careful, dispassionate thought
Roads Have Personalities
Roads have a peculiar fascination for me. They mind
their own business so admirably—just keeping on going,
skirting obstacles when they conveniently can, but not hesitating to got through if it is necessary. They have as many
different personalities as people—and in some cases, the
same faults.
However you look upon roads—whether as a means of
getting somewhere fast, or as a way that leads to a new
place and a new start, or as a tie that binds people closer
together, or as a pulsing artery of a nation's life—you will
find a lesson in them. Probably that is what the analogy of
roads to. life has-been made so often. I've done it myself.
jk But there are two thoughts I would like to pass on. One
*ts the tale of the wife who asked her husband why he was
stopping the, autoanombile. "The road book says to turn north
and follow the trolley. We'll have to wait until one comes
along", he replied.
Stupid? Of course. But—how often have you waited for
the trolley to come along so. you could follow it? For the
other fellow,tp get; up and offeran. idea? For some one else
to act first?. Yes, I know..You followed once the way was
shown.^ You didn't know the road? So what? Couldn't you
drive carefully and work it out for yourself? After all, someone built the roads. Someone pioneered for the advantages
with which you-are discontented. How about your doing
something for those who will follow you ? Why block traffic
by sitting still waiting for someone to show you the way?
The other idea came in a letter. "It isn't the bends in
the road that worry us, but the crossroads." You know, there
is a lot of meat in-that sentence. We are used to manoeuver-
ing around situations, to taking changes as they come—but
when the need for a decision arrives—that is another matter.
That is when we have to stop and think. And don't we hate
that! (I said we with intention. I am guilty, too.)
There is one thing we can do when we come to a crossroad.' We'can' look upon it as an opportunity, hot as1- an
ordeal. We _know_where we are going—and what we want to
do is to take the rpadTbnat leads there, not be led astray by
Howard E. Ramsey, Airport Manager
Resigns Post at New Field
Howard E. Ramsey, manager at the new Akron-Gantori
Memorial Airport has resigned effective December 1. A vet?'
eran engineer and field director, Mr. Ramsey guided the new"
airfield through its construction
period and catered to its growing
t>ains during the past few years.
■Mr. Ramsey stated that his work
during- the early development of
the field had been most interesting
and enjoyable. Now that the field
is fairly well developed for the
time being and in excellent con-
j dition, he prefers a different activity than that of attending to
the routine day-to-day operation
of the field.
He took over his duties at the field
on April 1, 1946. several months
before the runways and taxi strips
were completed. During his stay,
the service building, which houses
the weather bureau, airport office
and pumping station, was erected,
the temporary administration
building and control tower were
built, the water and sewer system
laid and more than a mile of service roads have been constructed.
Before he leaves. Mr. Ramsey
-will turn in a report covering- future development of the airport
which needs a study of future
building needs; such as a permanent terminal and another pumping station and a study of the
cargo development at the field.
Mr. Ramsey saw the airport
grow from a barren field to a busy
terminal for four commercial airlines. There are 34 passenger and
3 cargo flights * to the field daily
and in a month more than 4,0OG
Berlin Crisis Dissussed With Dewey
Howard E. Ramsey
passengers are served and more
than 200,000 pounds of cargo
shipped.
When the control tower is
placed in use about December 1
operations will be near 100 percent.
"I have no definite plans as
yet", said Mr. Ramsey, "but I expect to stay in the vicinitv."
His successor will be named by
the board of trustees.
A total of five damage suits'
were filed in Common Pleas Court
against Virgil M. Summers, Canal
Fulton school principal, in connection with the shooting of several
bovs celebrating last Halloween.
The first three suits filed early
last week totaled $3,398.08, and
the last two suits filed later in the
weeks were for $2,500 and $344.-
10.
Summers, who was a third
grade teacher at the Viflage
school when the shooting occurred, was naiir.ed as defendant in
two $1,500 personal injury actions
filed by Terrence L. and Raymond
Bremkamp, 17 and 19-year-old
brothers respectively, and a suit
of $398.08 by their father, Carl
W. BremkaniD of R. D. 1, Canal
Fulton, for hospital and nursing
service. Merle Gordon, 19, of River Rd„ Canal Fulton, sued Mr.
Summers for $2,500 damages for
injuries suffered when- he was
struck by a number of shotgun
pellets fired when Mr. Swimmers
saw the boys near a building at
the rear of his home. Alva R.
Gordon, father of the youth, also
filed suit for $344.10 damages incurred for medical, nursing and
hospital «xienses.
Summers is alleged to have
wounded the Bremkamp boys and
Merle Gordon, when he fired a
shotgun blast at them while thev
were near the Suim,mers house.
Mr. Summers said he feared the
boys would attempt .to upset one
of his outbuildings. He said he
had no intention of shooting them.
The three youths suffered buckshot wounds in the legs and back.
The -Bremkamps were treated at
the Massillon City Hospital and
Gordon was confined there for
several days.
Summers was arrested on a
charge of shooting with intent to
wound filed against him by the
father of the Bremkajm.p youths.
He later was permitted to plead
guilty to a lesser charge of as;.-,
sault and batterv and was

Rural zoning for unincorporated
areas present problems that require careful consideration before
zoning measures can be drawn by
localities or 'master- plans' set up
for them, County Commissioner
Oliver Kuhn told members of the
Canton Real Estate Board at their
weekly meeting.
''The state zoning law is a .good
thing," Mr. Kuhn said, "and its
operation can be very benificial.
But because of the problems involved, I think it wise to go slow
in working out a zoning plan for
the country."
He cited the widespread varia-
tio"n™in-'~l6c"a"lJ,*corairtibns'" throughout Stark-. County as causes of
of possible inequities in a uniform, code and the parallel confusion that could be caused by a
wide variety of separate codes for
each locality as examples of the
different county-wide zoning presents.
iL. M. Roraback, attorney outlined the operation of the county
rural zoning commission to the
Women's Council of Real Estate
Board and stated that when the
plan had been completed it would
be submitted to electors of the
various townships.
