VOL. 25—No. 25 NORTH CANTON, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, 1949 6e PER COPY A Thought for Lent "If any man among you seem to be religious, bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain". Everyone of us who has gone to Sunday School or Church, has heard and known that same text from. James. We bowed our heads in reverent listening, but did we also bow our hearts in prayer that by these same standards our !j»£ligion not be counted in vain? ^ We may observe all the conventions of our religion, but it will count for naught if we deceive our. own hearts. We know what that means—the twisting of facts, the coloring of things to make them appear different, the hedging, mental-apologizing, alibiing so that we might evade our own responsibilities, creating mental pictures that do not exist. We know that if we permit prejudice, unreasoning bias, resentment, dislike of our brother-men to drive out friendliness and love and willingness to be of service, we are deceiving our own hearts. Furthermore, we may lead exemplary lives, but if we do not bridle our tongues, our religion is in vain. We know what it means to bridle our tongues—not to pass on gossip as fact, not to tell what we think as what we know, not to spread rumors, not to speak unkindly or discourteously. There was a verse, by Edward Rowland Still, which we had to learn in school, that defined it still further: "The ill-timed truth we might have kept, Who knows how sharp it pierced and stung? The word we had not sense to say, Who knows how grandly it had rung!" This does not mean we should overlook evil. Not in the least. We have a duty to. condemn evil in all places where it exists. We must condemn the evil act—but we must not generalize about evil doers, lumping the innocent with the guilty. We must"not contuse the issue. We must localize it in order to eradicate it. It doesn't matter what our neighbor does nor how he lives up to his religion. We have ours, and our religion is a mockery if we do not live up to its teachings. Our duty is ^)lain— and there is no evading it. ^ "If any man among you seem to be religious, bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain." Do You Pay Enough Rent? Of course everybody thinks that they pay too much rent; but the rent control bill as passed will hold rent prices at the present level. A good deal of attention was given in Congress to a proposal that the States do their own controlling. The States won. Naturally, the problem differs in most States, but Senator Tobey of New Hampshire, reminded the Congress that about 40 State Legislatures will be meeting in the next six months. One of the big labor bosses reminded Congress that if there are rent increases throughout the Nation, the result will be a fresh round of higher wages in all the labor unions. . What he really means is that there will be strikes,. A The real fact of the matter is that rent control officials were too often unfitted for their jobs and arrogant and ineffective in dealing with property owners and tenants. Of all Federal agencies, admittedly this is the worst administered. Some were people from many walks of life, jobless during the war years, who sought and secured jobs they proved unqualified to fill. In addition, many citizens were victims of hardships and injustices perpetrated by officials and employees of this agency. They then wrote their Congressman. As most people know, form letters from pressure groups carry little weight. Letters from individuals, sincerely written in their own way, help a Congressman. Such letters are persuasive. They cause Congressmen to stop—look—and listen. Your Congressman In Washington Your Congressman, John McSweeney, is still ill in the Naval Medical Hospital at Bethesda, Maryland, and therefore failed to vote this past week on such red- hot issues as the veterans' pension bill, rent control for the District ox Columbia and legislation authorizing a 70-group air force. After a week of amendments and parliamentary strategy by both proponents and opponents of the pension bill which was originally drafted to provide $90 a month-for aged war veterans, the pension bill was sent back to the House veterans committee by a vote of 208-207. This vote was tan- ta,mont to killing the bill, at least for the present. It was bitterly opposed by the Administration and was supported by many Southern Democrats and by the Republicans generally. In two .prior strategy moves the opponents failed by a vote of 223- 187 to recommit the bill to the veterans committee, and by a vote of 291-120 to kill the bill 'outright by striking out the enacting clause. The House this past week authorized a 70 group air force and an additional 530,000 im.en for the air force. The army ceiling, under the army and air force bill of 1949, was put at 387,000, and the army was given the authority to purchase the materials and supplies for that number. The vote for the bill was 895-4. Rotarians Offer Help to Every eass Mayor Guy Price today urged the people of North Canton and surrounding territory, to cooperate in the 16th annual Easter Seal drive, which enables the North Canton Rotarians Society for Crippled Children to continue its services to the handicapped. During the past year, several physically handicapped children and adults benefited by Rent Control for the District of Columbia was extended for 15 .months by the House this week by a vote of 247-117. It is of particular interest to congressman because thev live mostly in rental units in that city. NORTH CANTON HIGH SCHOOL CHEERLEADERS ACCOMPANIED TEAM North Canton's six cheerleaders1 accompanied the basketball team to Columbus last Thursday, thanks to the generosity of Dr. A. R. Basinger, one of the teams leading boosters. The six who went were Eileen Mohler, Margie Kobel, Mary Hawkins, Nancy Arthur, Marilyn. Surbey and Barbara Basinger. The girls stayed at the Seneca Hotel in Columbus. - Dr. Basinger also paid the ex- pensesof last.year's Columbus trip for the cheerleaders. LADIES LITERARY CLUB MET MONDAY EVENING The Problem oi Divided Loyalty Within the past few weeks American-born Communist leaders have joined the stooge parade in declaring that they would not support the government of the United States in the event of any conflict with the Soviet Union. Such a statement made by any prospective applicant for naturaliza- lljpn under the laws of the United States would of course bar nim from citizenship. As our laws now stand, however, the native born American may speak such sentiments with complete impunity. To tolerate what amounts to a threat of desertion or even treason in time of warfare. is incredible. Obviously, those who hold these views of divided loyalty would require incarceration the moment any difficulty might develop in our relations with Russia. But there should certainly be some way for any self-respecting government to defend itself against the kind of subversive" propaganda emanating from Communist source's, regardless of their origin. Certainly, those who assert their personal right to defy bur nation in a moment of crisis ought not be granted the privileges of American citizenship, regardless of their place of birth. Equal certainly, the obvious intention of this group to sabotage our security and to communicate to a foreign power whatever they can discover which might injure our country cannot be tolerated. The Communists of America have now offered open defiance to our government and to our way of life..It remains , to be seen whether or not this administration will have the courage and the intelligence to effectively meet this challenge". 7 7- Mrs. Harry Evans of 349 Edge- wood Street, North Canton was hostess to the members of the North Canton Ladies Literary Club on Monday evening. Mrs. O. P. Deetz related facts about Billy Rose, and Mrs. Otis C. Jester spoke on her recent trip through the South. it the program of the North Canton Rotary Club, he stated. "Easter Seals mean new life and hope to crippled children through the special services they provide, as orthopedic appliances, special education and vocational guidance. The Rotary Club's work enhances our community's welfare", the Mayor said. "Every handicapped citizen of North Canton and vicinity should know that the services of the Society for Crippled Children and adults, through the North Canton Rotary Club are open to him", Yale Strausser, president of the local Rotary Club stated. All individuals interested in the care, treatment, job training, education, or other phases of help for disabled persons should call on Dr. A. R. Basinger, chairman of the Crippled Children's committee for the North Canton Rotary Club, for further information. "The facilities of our club are made possible by community participation in the annual Easter Seal drive"^ Mr. Strausser added. "Part of the funds raised helps .maintain the services of the National Society for Crippled Children and Adults with iwhoim the local groups are affiliated. Foremost among the National Society's prop-ram, is aid to the cerebral palsied". The local campaign is part of a nationwide drive which opened March 17 and will close Easter Sunday, April 17, local chairman Dr. A. R. Basinger stated.
