Going On Vacation? Then Remember
MFORE YOU LEAVI-OH THE Wfi$< AFTER YOUAAMVE-
Being Well-Bred
Conventions are the hall marks of civilized living. They
are the traffic rules which man has adopted for the better
conduct of his life. Their observance is the card proving his
right to membership in a civilized .society.
There is no law against pushing your neighbors aside
in the street, but if you do so, you prove yourself a boor. There
is no law against eating peas with a knife—but if you do,
you mark yourself ill-bred and unused to the amentities of
civilized society. There is .no law against discourtesy—but it
just isn't practised by the kind of people you want to know.
Conventions are designed for the protection of all. The
common usage of society are ingrained in children from their
earliest contacts with those around them. We do not condemn
a child him.sclf for his bad manners, but we do comment caustically upon his home environment.
To. those conventions with which we are all conversant,
should now be added a new one. a person who condemus another not as an individual but because of the groups from
which he comes, should be considered as guilty of bad breeding as he who transgresses any of the other more material
conventions. It just isn't American, and it just isn't done by
ladies and gentlemen in America. We should hold it as important to be kind as to be courteous, to speak fairly as well
as truthfully, to respect our .neighbors' beliefs as we respect
his possessions.
And, likewise, we hold Lhat the man or group who seeks
to impose his or its view;-; on us by main strength or deceit,
is guilty of being ill-bred. That is but simple logic. What
really irritates us most about the Communist is his ready
demonstration o%ill-breeding, it seems to be an integral part
cf the party line.
We are .now entering on one' of the most trying ;\ears
of our material life—a year which Avill mean greater stress
upon our own tempers, ^reaier strains upon our mental
balance.
Let us resolve to conduct ourselves as well-bred people
during this trying time. Let us be good American ladies and
gentlemen first and set a seal upon our lips. Arguing as hotly
as we will, let us observe the canons of fair play and decent
speech and not indulge in generalized charges against anyone, ,not in mass condemnation of any group within our nation, nor in vitriolic attacks on any race, religion, class or
color.
Observing at all limes the conventions of society let us
prove to the world that the democratic form of |>.)vernment
with its freedom of speech for all people can still be not only
the most civilized but the best bred form of government.
Korea No Week-end Battle
All Americans have been hoping for a quick result in
the Korean fighting. We are still hopeful, but we must rid
ourselves of the notion that the Korean Communists are a
soft touch. We must realize that it is not a small army of
native soldiers who are arrayed against us, but a well-trained,
highly disciplined Communist force. They are the direct beneficiaries of the .Soviet Government, using Russian-made
planes and equipment, trained in the use of their weapons by
experienced Russian soldiers,and certain to be reinforced by
Chinese Communists all along the line. North Korea is thickly
populated, highly industrialized, and adjacent to Russia.
Added to this is the factor of terrain. The hills of .South
Korea make mechanized war as difficult as it has proven to
be in Northern .Greece. The North Koreans have also chosen
the time of fighting to coincide with the wet weather period
when flying is frequently stalled.
We have committed ourselves, and the United Nations
has joined in the commitment to end this war. Let us not
deceive ourselves into the complacent belief that it is only
a week-end "policing" job. lt is a major conflict for us and the
Western World, with victory an absolute necessity.
Cutting Down The Mails
There isn't any common sense in the cutback of theiiiail
service now being made for the first time on a broad scale
in peacetime history. All of a sudden, after \l'i years of
progress, the Post Office Department has fallen.down. While
Government offices all over the District of Columbia are bulging with hired help, the greatest peacetime service we have
is cut down by political chiselers. The slow-down of the mail
hits both businesses and individuals. A letter that" used to
arrive over-night may be in the mails three,days..now.-That
isn't common sense.
Newspaper writers seldom offer "advice,'' but this once,
we suggest: Write to your Congressman and Senator and
object "to needlessly slowing down the United States mails.
Your Congressman, John MeSweeney, voted in favor of cutting
excise tax.es when the House pass-
id the reduction .measure, 375-14.
Earlier, a motion to send the bill
ick to committee was rejected
1-17-23!). Your Congressman was
against recommittal. The bill -cuts
about $1 billion from wartime excise levies on consumer goods and
services, and make up the loss .by
hi.*>hu- income taxes on corporations in the amount o.f $433 billion
yearly and the closing of legal
loopholes in the present, law. Taxes
are wiped out or reduced on luxuries, luggage, cosmetics, tires, ad-
mirsions, travel fares, telephone
bills, telegrams, .baby oils and powders,  and  other items.
By an overwhelming vote of 34.5-
4, the House >passed the conference
report cxtsuding the Selective Service Act to July 0, 1051. Under the
conference .measure the President's
existing power to draft young men
is continued and he is given power
to order ths National Guard and
all Reserve components to immediate active duty lor a period not to j coa
exceed 21 months. Your Congress^
man voted for extension of the
draft.
The House came through wilh
the I'.quircd two -thirds vote to
override a -ir-it-idential veto on a
bill passed e.r.'hcr by the House to
give within grade nay ,-aises to
veterans in the Post Office Department. The bill provides for longevity credit to these veterans fri-
time spent in military service even
f hough they were ,..,t Post Oflie.-;
Department employe's before such
military service. The presidential
veto was voted u'ow.i 213-72 after
a motion to ret.onn111.i4. th? bill was
defeated I 1.1-1 (io. Your Congressman voted against passage and in
favor of rewiimittfil.
Th ■ House nassed by voice vote
a bill extending import-control
authority over fats and oils and
rice and rice proclur'.s for a one-
year period from June 30, 10.10,
after it had dofeaten a rocommit-
tal Hint ion 72-2(i4. Your Congres ,-
man voted against  recommittal.
Also passed after almost unanimous rejection of a recommittal
motion, l-2(i(), was the bill providing for the organization of a constitutional government by the
people of Puerto Rico. Your Con-
trrpssman .voted against recommittal.
Although the House is not in recess, no legislative business will bi
transacted until July 10, unless the
Korean war .situation warrant:-
viimediate recall of House members.
Mr. McfV.veeney took part, in debate on the .Supreme Court ruling
in regard to tirlelands, takinr
from. California, Louisiana and
Texas, lands lying under waters
adjacent to th'thr shores. He suggested that if the ruling did not
co into elf"ct other state.; in'_,"lit
make an effort to have their boundaries extended in like manner.
He suggested also that otb<:r nations might even extend their
soveroi_M)t,v. a? .Norway .did after
the battle of Jutland, when she
said she would consider it an .'unfriendly act for a foreign vessel of
war to approach within Ll mites of
her coast.

Flood and Hail Loss to Nesting
Game May Not Be Serious
In the opinion of game management men' of the Wildlife
Division, the flood and hail losses. in recent weeks to young
rabbits and pheasants may not be felt by hunters this fall. A
lot will depend on just how fast the mother rabbits and
pheasants get back into production.

ed the mother ringncck sees her _. , _ .

th.y can withstand the natural
enemies of weather and predators.
If her nest is destroyed before the
eggs hatch, however, then she will
usually start laying again and produce the brood even late in the
nesting season, which' sometimes
accounts for the half or three-

For the North Cantonite who
wishes to be informed, the North
Canton Library heartily recommends the. RE'FEREIifCE SHELF
to which the (Library is a regular
subscriber, lt serves as a public
forum, presenting articles ott timely controversial questions. Each
number (separately bound) is devoted to a single subject and gives
background information and pro
and con arguments from, current
books and magazines, .followed by
a comprehensive list of other
sources. Outstanding 'Americans
contribute articles to tlhe series.
About six or seven nw topic are
thus presented to .the American
public. Here are a number of subjects included in the series now
available:
Equality in America; Atorniic
Bomb; Dilemma of Postwar Gerr
many; Direct Election of the
President; Should the Communist
Party be Outlawed?; American
Labor Unions: Organization, Aims
and Power;. Economic Aid- to
Europe; Inflation: Causes and
Cures; New Forces  in Asia.
The. last topic is the most recent
addition to the library collection
and is certainly most timely in the
light of the developments in Korea.

Mexican Trip
Robert Spier of North Canton ■
was one of live area students who
accompanied the 2-1 from Kent-
State university who left on a trip
f"i- Mexico by car. They were accompanied by their history instructor, they plan to study first-hand
th■; ancient and modern cultures
of south borderland.
The six-car caravan spent a day
and night in New Orleans and arrived in Mexico City on July 1,
Dr. Maury Baker, associate professor of history, is conductor of
the  trip.
Mexico was chosen for the first
field trip, Dr. Baker explained,
"because it contains well-preserved
evidence of all the main stages of
its history, ancient, colonial and
modern."
The group studied Latin American history on the Kent campus
for a week before leaving to gain
background material for its venture in "on the spot" historical
study.
