Year Round Brotherhood
The period through which we are passing is one which
weeds some such concept as Brotherhood Week to allay inter-
faith friction and hostility.
Various controversies and circumstances have given
rise to tensions which are more than ordinarily sharp.
The emotions centering in the ruckus .over Senator McCarthy are disturbing. The Senator from Wisconsin is a
man who arouses strong feelings, both pro and con. Hardly
anyone is neutral where he is concerned. The conti-oversy
ranging about him has repercussions which are not K>nly
nationwide but worldwide.
The Supreme Court's decision outlawing segregation in
the public schools has likewise given rise to a wave of emotion in many parts of the United States. Some non-Southern regions have become aroused because the South does not
appear to be accepting the ruling as readily as those regions
feel they should. The South, for its part, tends to resent
criticism from "outsiders".
[Another conflict concerns the State of Israel. Even the
Jewish people are split on this issue, and feeling between
certain groups of Jews is almost as strong as between Jews
and Arabs. Here is a divisive force which must not be permitted to weaken the unity of the American people.
In each of these controversies, and in others involving
entirely different questions, the spirit of brotherhood is
called for, and those immediately concerned should place national solidarity above political, religious or regional differences.
The American way is to allow all sides of every controversy to be heard, and to arrive fearlessly at honest conclusions, but without undermining the basic oneness of the
nation.     ..■■.-;-..-•••.--.-...•■ --_-....■..,.■-  ■ ... r--^-- •.
The concept of brotherhood, so heavily stressed during
BrotherhJbod Week, should be emphasized throughout the
entire year, to the end that we Americans may present a
united front to any perils that may confront us from beyond
the sea's.
Do We Get Out or Go Under?
Public announcement by the Atomic Energy Commission that lethal radioactive fall-out from the H-Bomb detonated at Bikini last year covered an area Iof 7,000 square
miles gives us the first fact on which we can build some
conception of atomic war.
It will aJso needle the Congress and the Civil Defense
into tackling their responsibilities to the American people a
little more aggressively. Up to now, the principal activity
has been to soold the public for its apathy in the face of
this new and all-pervading horror.
But we do not think the people have been apathetic to
the technological possibility of obliteration — especially
when it gives all the advantage to an aggressor who would
strike first, which, histtorically, we have never .done. We do
not think Americans have forgotten Pearl Harbor, or have
failed to consider what a modern sneak-attack could do.
We do think the people have been stoical, perhaps even
fatalistic in the face of Civil Defense disorganization and
Congressional preoccupation. This situation is well illustrated in the National Capital, which we would expect an. enemy
to regard as a desirable target. Civil defense in Washington is in a stalemate, stymied between two schools of
'thought. The authorities can not agree whether the citizens
should take shelter, or whether they should evacuate. No
doubt similar situations prevail elsewhere. And certainly,
under present conditions, neither plan could be effective in
our big cities.
Perhaps the AEC should tell us more about nuclear annihilation.
Stopping Communism in Asia
The Communist aggressors who invaded French Indo-
China and compelled the partition of that country last year
are no longer going to have things their, own way. Just
recently, Lt. General John W. O'Daniel, Chief of the United
Statjes Military Mission in Vietnam, began the job of training and organizing the army of South Vietnam. Working
in close cooperation with the French Indochinese command,
our .forces will ultimately have a missifon composed of some
three hundred officers and ,non-coms. A total army of 100,-
000 with a' reserve amounting to an additional 150,000 is
planned.
This is the approach long recommended by our top
military advisors in Asia. Armys composed-Iof native troops,
given the training and weapons available to the Western Free
Wjorld, are capable of defending their homelands from the
attacks of Communists. There is no disposition on the part
of Communist leaders to submit their.program to plebiscites.
Thfey are relying solely upon aggression and the terroriza-
tion process to achieve their purpose.
Our sholwing of determination in the Formosa area', combined with the new defense system illustrated in Vietnam,
willgivethe Kremlin pause, and the paus"e may well refresh
the world's hopes for real freedom, ■

Rotary Club Again Sponsors Easter
Seal Campaign To Aid The Crippled
The North Canton Rotary Club will again this, year
sponsor the local Easter Seal campaign, the Annual appeal
for funds made by the Ohio Society for Crippled Children in
cooperation with the National Society for Crippled Children
and Adults. George Robinson is chairman of the Rotary
committee planning the campaign and helping him are Dr.
A. R. Basinger, William Stull.Sr. and Dan Boon.
The entire Rotary Club Will de-,
vote their Thursday, March 10
meeting to working on this project following their regular, dinner at 6:30 p.m. in the Commun.
ity Building.
The envelopes containing the
seals are distributed to the Rotary Club by the Ohio Society
for Crippled Children. The commercial department of North
Canton High School, headed by
Mrs. Olive Aldridge, address-
es the envelopes, Which are then
stuffed, sealed and mailed to
every family in the community
by the Rotarians.
The Rotary Club also sponsors
the Good Friday sale of Easter
Lilies on the s'treets of the village toy the Junior Red Cross.
The white lily is the symbol of
the Easter Seal Society.
The 1955 'campaign will be held
from March 10 to April 10 in
Ohio and throughout the nation,
according to an announcement
made by Dr. Charles A. Bowers, of Cleveland, president of
the Ohio Society for Crippled
Children. The annual appeal is
conducted in every state, in the
District of Columbia, Alaska,
Puerto Rico and Hawaii.
"During this month 'preceding
Easter, people in Ohio will have
a chance to provide needed help
to the thousands of crippled persons in this state who need rehabilitation," Dr." Bowers said.
"Ohioans can play a vital part
in providing a hopeful and productive life for crippled chil -
dren  by  buying Easter Seals,"
The Ohio Society and its 101
local affiliated county societies
for crippled children conduct the
campaign in this state.
More than 90 per cent of the.
funds raised remain in Ohio for
services to the physically handicapped. The remainder goes to
a national program of research
and rehabilitation.
"Every year," said Dr. Bowers, "the statewide network of
crippled children'^. Ea,ster:. Seal,
so'cietie's he^p:'th6tis^ff<Js' of crippled 'Children and adults by providing medical care, physical
training, recreation, vocational
guidance, and many other services.
"These crippled children societies in Ohio need not only the
continued moral support of the
citizens in the state," he said,
"but a more generous financial
support than ever before.
While thousands of handicapped
children have been helped in the
past, there are still thousands
more that must be reached. The
part that the individual can play
at this time of year in helping
this whole program of rehabilitation is to give his all out support to the Easter Seal cam -
pa'ign."
Among major projects supported by the crippled children's societies through financial contributions made during the Easter
Seal campaign in Ohio are: three
treatment centers for orthopedi-
cally crippled children; centers
devoted to cerebral palsied chil.
dren; annual medical demonstrations of treatment techniques; over 35 epileptic clinics
per year; summer residential
camping for more than 1000
crippled boys and girls; and a
jointly sponsored three week
summer workshop at Ohio State
University for teachers of crippled children, and speech and
hearing therapists.
This year's Easter Seal will be
oblong in shape and display a
white lily, symbol of the Easter
Seal Society, on a pink back -
ground. A bright blue ribbon
imposed on the lily says, "Help
Crippled Children," and below it,
on a bright pink ribbon are the
words,   "Easter   Seals.''

Here's What Your Contribution
To The Red Cross Accomplishes
 ~ ^
The annual Red Cross Drive is being highlighted in
Nbrth Canton throughout this week under the direction of
Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Mortimer, local chairmen, and will feature an intensified door-to-door campaign Sunday, March
13, from 1 to 5 p.m.
Some 85 workers, many representing civic organizations, will
canvass the North Canton School
district, distributing .Red Cross
membership cards and lapel
pins to contributors.
The annual membership and
fund campaign of Canton Chapter American Red Cross opened
March 1 with a goal of $115,000
announced by general chairman
of this year's campaign, .Richard E. Lawrence. This figure includes $63,900 which will be
needed for local requirements
for Canton Chapter for the coming fiscal year, and $51,000 as
its share of National require -
ments.
A brief review of the fiscal
year 1953-54 might be made to
explain more fully the terms
"local requirements'' and "na -
tional requirements."
During this year, total expenditures for services to ser -
vicemen, veterans and their dependents reached more than $37
millions. This figure represents
help given to your neighbors and
your neighbors' sons and daughters in time of trouble and emergency — not only emergency financial assistance but also help
in solving personal and family
problems, providing commumica-
tions between servicemen and
their families at home, help in
applying for government benefits, and recreation in military
hospitals.
The Canton Chapter alone
handled over 2,800 such individual family cases during the fiscal year.
While the Canton area had no
major disasters during the fiscal year, the Canton Chapter as.
sisted the victims of several one-
family fires with food, clothing
and home furnishings.
Nationally, an average of six
disaster relief operations were
conducted each week by the Red
Cross. This means some 62,000
persons were given emergency
mass care, and 7,100 families
were given rehabilitation aid following injuries or losses caused
by -the disasters. The t o t a 1
amount spent for disaster preparedness and relief was $3,036,
862. This figure does not include
the more than $3,000,000 spent
for aid to human beings during
three hurricanes and the Rio
Grande flood of last summer and
early fall.
Another great group of Red
Cross services are the Safety
and Nursing services. In the
Canton chapter, 2,453 Red Cross
certificates were issued in First
Aid and Water Safety, and over
250 in Nursing Skill3.
Through training in first aid,
water safety, home care of the
sick, and mother and baby care,
the organization prepares millions of Americans each year to
help themselves and others in
mements of personal crisis and
in time o'f disaster or emergency.
Nationally, more than 2 million nursing, first aid and wa.
ter safety certificates were issued' to trained persons, and over 4 1-2 million persons were instructed on these subjects at
group instruction meetings.
The Junior Red Cross, which
is the Red Cross in the schools,
has 21 million members in 76,000
schools throughout the nation.
They perform community ser -
vices and provide aid to child
victims of disaster and war in
foreign countries. During the
year, they sent 368,700 gift boxes
to 56 countries.
In the Canton Chapter are 76
schools which, besides many other activities, filled 1800 gift boxes and three large school chests.
In all, the national organization and its 3,720 chapters expended more than $87 millions
in meeting .the needs of the hundreds of thousands of people who
turned to the 'Red. Cross for
help. These figures are large,
but so Were the needs. And so
was fhe extent of the help rendered by the American people
through the Red Cross.

Friday, March 25
, The seniors of North Canton
High School will present the
play "New Fires" in the high
school auditorium Friday eve -
ning,  March 25,  at 8 p.m.
"New Fires" is a wholesome
true - to - life comedy about
an average American family
that find that peace and contentment can be anywhere, even on
1 a farm in the Ozarks.
Stephen Santry, an author
| from Chicago, has inherited his
I Uncle Gideon's farm. Since
Stephen is at his wit's end to
know what to do with his family
(who .he fears have lost their
grasp on the fundamental values
of life), he decides to bring them
to the farm and issues the ultimatum that they work or they
don't eat.
Several complications occur
and the family is imprisoned on
the farm, left to amuse themselves and to attend their own
wants. When an enforced quarantine is finally lifted, we find—
but we'll let you find out for
yourselves.
