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. Playground Ass'n. To Hold Open Meeting February 16 The Norlth Canton Playground Association meeting will be held in the Village Council Hall on Tuesday, February 16, at 8:00 p.m. Three board members are to be elected -followed by t h e Board electing their officers for the coming year. Present members of ithe board whose terms expire are Mrs. James Miller, Mrs. Charles Messerly and Mil- (ford Gotschall. Plans Will be started for the operation of the seven Iformer playgrounds this summer. This meeting will be open to the public and the Association is hoping ifor a large attendance. 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 tenia according to ithe Stark I County Health officers instruc . tSons. The next meeting of the School board Willi be held on Tuesday, February 23, in Ithe high school. 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. 1 work.

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

and dedicated, to the proposition that all men are created
