Thit Nation Under God
"The President Also Spoke
A thunder of applause burst forth — for the great orator, Edward Everett, as he concluded his hour and a half
long oration at the dedication of the National Cemetery at
Gettysburg.
Then a tall gangly man arose and slouched forward,
holding in his hand* a few sheets of paper on, which he had
scrawled the notes for his speech in the coach on the way
from Washington.
In contrast to the silver tones of the previous speaker,
Kis voice was low. as though he were speaking to the dead of
both the North and South. The crowd was immaterial to him.
He was not making a speech. He was dedicating a Cemetery,
"Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought
forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty,
and dedicated, to the proposition that all men are created
equal" —• he began, and the people began to gather up their
wraps and look for the way out.
The next day one of the leading newspapers printed a
long account of Edward Everett's speech, adding at the bottom of the story, "The President Also Spoke."
I've "often wondered if that reporter lived long enough
to realize he had missed the boat. No doubt Mr. Everett's
speech was. a.good one. . He was never known to ^appoint
"SOX: ^udiefice; But the less than three hundred jwords of
Tresident Lincoln have gone down in history as one of the
world's great speeches.
Each year — in schdolroom and on stage — these words
are repeated.   Why?   What makes them great?
Because in an hour, of travail he spoke from his heart,
thinking not of the effect upon the listeneris, but trying to

Still Squirming
Perhaps, ypu remember how, back in your barefoot days,
when you ''killed" a snake it kept writhing . . . how the
popular fable,wa& that it wouldn't die till sundown?
That, in the fewest possible Words is the story of the
four Power Conference in Berlin. No matter how many
days it may drag on, the conference endted — so far as it's
announced purposes of German unification and Austrian
peace are concerned — with the Molotov speech 'outlining the
fletails of the rigged German election that Russia would
permit.
We can only hope that while no good has come of the
conference, the corollary is that no hjarm has been done.
But it looks from here that the wily Molotov, that living
symbol of the double-cross, may after all have achieved his
own purpose at Berlin.. There is <still to be a secret meeting of the four leaders to discuss the Molotov proposal for
a meeting with Red China and a world conference on disarmament.
Messrs. Dulles, Eden and Bidault are now awaiting their
instructions. Since Russia has just offered England a' billion .dolars worth of business, Mr.' Eden may be advised to
be nice to the new customer.
That would leave us the. prayer that Mr. Dulles will
emulate the Rock of Gibraltar — which is another controversial bit of real estate these nightmarish times.

For Better Service
The House Post Office Committee has fired the first
shot in the battle to raise Post Office revenue 400 million
dollars a year. '   ' , (        __,
And the first victim, if_the Committee has its way, will
be the citizen at the stamp window who wants to mail a
letter out of town. Collectively, in paying four cents instead
of three for his stamp, he'll chop 159 millions a year off the
PO deficit.. . unless he gets writers cramp.
It would be nice though, if that new four cent stamp
gave us thte kind of service we used to get with the red
Ktties-that .had -George Washington on them I

The next meeting of the School
board Willi be held on Tuesday,

We wish to call the attention
of all residents to an adjustment
of sewer rates in North Canton
due to the increase in charges
made by the City of Caniton tor
disposing of sewage carried
through trunk sewers from Norlth
Canton.
The basic rate or unit charge
is to be $10.20 per year as compared to the previous unit charge
of $7.50 per year.
The new established rate is
based on a minimum use of 20,
000 gallons of water for each
four month period tfor $3.40, all
water used in excess of ithe minimum is to be charged on the
basis of fifteen cents per thousand gallons.
The annual charge, in addition
to ;the basic sewer rate, for
each unit having installed ther-
in a garbage disposal unit or
other mechanical means of garbage disposal into the sewag
system will be $7.50.
All buildings having more
than one unit will be charged
$3.40 for each Sour months, for
each additional unit.
For factories and manufacturing establishments having an an-
ual average employment of more
than five employees, its charge
shall be $2.25 per employe per
year.

opened, in the rooms now occupied by ICing's Confectionery,
with Mr. Schafer as the manager. The business grew and his

Later when Roth -and Hug put
the place up for sale, Charles
Schaifer and Max Messerly purchased it and incorporated the
business in the Schafer-Messerly
Drug Co.
Desiring a better location and
building of Itheir 'own, the two
young men purchased and remodeled the J. W. Deetz Building and in due time moved the
drug store to its present location.
