Every.Night Is Halloween To Lefty
Catch Up With Yourself
Are you caught up with yourself?
You know what I fftean. The letters you were going to
write. The chores you have been putting off. The mending
you^have been meaning to do. The book you simply must
read. The visits you had planned to make. The little
thoughtful things you weile going to do for others.
'..-.- Of course, when you find tfie time you are going to finish up all of- these things.   But honestly now how hard
have you looked for the time?
Atfen't you just Jetting things you should do accumulate
until.the task of clearing them all up makes the cleaning of
the Augean stables look like a minor accomplishment ?
^ Oh, Ilaiow all,you are going.to say. I've made all of
those excuses,-too.- Yioii 'haven't a patent on procrastination.
'It's so easy to do the thing of the moment, it's so easy to push
things asjide — and feel very virtuous aboiit it <at the time.
But:things undone have a' way of.haunting you. And of
having *to be done'jusft when you least want to do.them.
And .sometimes — suddenly — you find that some of
the nicest things you. planned to do,, can't be. done at all—
because the person you were going, to do''them for just isn't
there to enjoy, them. .
• .^Eirst draw up a.'balance with yourself. List all of the
things .you have-left,undone. .And don't let-the length of
the. list jdispqurage ypii.   Ytm. don't have to do" them all at
?P?.8...-_.-___^
■ . :.fh.en.set:_i.side'oneih6urlevery,day and do some of tnerh
.... crossing them off as they are finished. You'Jl find -the
encouragement of the work done will help you find more
tiirte-^ and before you know;it, you will have'finished'the
tasks. >And—can you iniagifte a more delightful sensation
than tlo. know you-have nothing hanging over your hea:d that
you.ought to do? That, you have the time to do what you
waiit^tp-do and enjoy it?
pie 7Mitt tax Levy
"The taxpayers 'of North Canton School District will
be asked to'Vote for a.7 .Mill.tax levy'iat the- polls next

of your North Cahtjbri' Schools. The did tax which is expiring; was for, 6.8 Mills! which w'ith the increase of 139

three years. Therefore, you the taxpayers are being asked to
up that 6.8 Mills by .2 to 7 Mills, so desks, fciooks and -transportation--6an be'furnished to these 139 new students and
thie additional 200 pupil increase next year which is shown
by the recent census taken in this school district.

Skywatclier
On my recent night time visits
to the Observation Post I have
been met by a squad of men
from the Canton Civil Air Pa- ;
trol which is guarding the shelter against yandals. In full Air
Force uniforms and equipped
with helmets and, business looking night sticks these fe"lows are
certainly a force to be reckoned
with by any one without the best
of intent. It gives us a thrill to
observe the faithfulness and zeal
with which these young men
stand guard thru out the long
hours of the night. Here too,
this effort which really is considerable, is compensated for
only by the devotion to a need
which is recognized to be real
and the appreciation of grateful
citizens.
We are steadily increasing our
enrollment of ground otfservers.
School boys over thirteen with
!h-ir parents consent, housewives, men who work nights, for
daylight observation, and men
who work days, for night duty.
We sti'l can use-many mere, as
the adaq-e goes, "Many .hands
Tiake light work".
By the way, I was talking to a
'•■.-■u.ewife and mother the other
''ay who mentioned that this was
he ideal way to get her letter
-.vriting done — one of those
:hings that is so difficult to find
'ime for ordinarily. While the
'.Tier watcher is outside-observ-
' -ig. she is inside where its warm
and comfortable writing letters.
Another, told me she likewise gets lots of soxs mended
in the same manner. Of course
during these warm bright days
such di-.ties can even be done
while watching and listening for
aircraft - with the report form
and telephone  close by.
For those of you who did not
get up for the housewarming or
who would like to see the observers in action, the latch string is
always out. I suggest, however,
that it would be better to pay
your visit during the day light
hours.
Won't you join us in this
worthy effort? The duty is not
hard nor arduous, it will not
come with such frequency a.s to
be a bore and the pay is I'eal-
you're doing something for your
country.
Tho Board of Education has
three vacam-ies to fill, with four
men  running lor  the office.
Robert J-. Lrauchcr, the present president of the board is running for ro"lcr.-tion. He should bo
returned to office by an overwhelming majority, for the excellent job he has done in representing the people of the school
district: for always being avail-
albo to any and all who wish to
voice their concern about the
school and its affairs, and for
the fair and honest manner in
which he carries through his
prornjsc.- to the people in pre-

Nearly a year has passed
and the resentment of the
people against the extension
of a runway for the purpose
of bringing in jets has simmered down to a smolder , . ,
however, it has all the earmarks of bursting into flame
again ... if some of the, shall
we say, hand writings on the
wall are interpreted correctly!
The officials in charge along
with the military last year decided against doing anything
more a't the airport on proposed
extensions of runways, due 'to
the ire of' the people, who were
concerned with the danger of the
proposed runways and the fact
that 'jets with live amunition
would be flying over them. Their
decision then was to do nothing
until the public had cooled off
and  forgotten  about the  deal.
No report has been made by
any of the officials who are responsible, regarding what they
have done or contemplate doing,
with 'the airport, which still is
p\iblic . property and-which the
people who foot the bill have the
right- Ho /know*
However within the' past week
a jet plane was brought onto
the field from Youngstown. Does
this mean they intend to use jetE
here at Akron - Canton regardless of the danger involved? The
military made' the statement
they needed longer runways in-
order to assure safe landings
and takeoffs of theyjets. . .have
they changed their minds of the
necessity ... of safety-precautions?
Are they planning on using the
jets coming down from the
north as one officer said they
would at 30,000 feet and circling
back over the base at 2300 feet'
from the south over Canton to
land. . .what if they overshoot
the landing strip and have to
pull up into the airlanes of the
Akron Municipal Airport? Or
will there be another crash such
as happened at the air show, due
to the inexperience of these
"Week - End Pilots?
Some of the big brass from
Washington have been known to
be in conference with local officials within the past few months
yeg even weeks. . .Erivate closed
meetings are known to have been
held. People are cautioned to
toe on the alert against a deal
at [the, airport.
