c_ THE AMERICAN WAY Co/, <"»£!*'?* **'-_, $S^?£?v J0' ^o""J '-SCO Vol. 33 — No. 50 NORTH CANTON, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9 1959 7c PER COPY" Punished Capital When Our Visitor Arrives At long* last Khrushchev has achieved' his goal—he has been invited to visit the United States. Whether or not we approve this invitation, we are fully cognizant that those in authority feel it their duty to explore any and all opportunities for the preservation of the peace. Our allies feel that this visit will work toward that end. The decision has been made, and it is up to us, the people, to implement it. However, there are certain things to remember, a few lessons that have been learned from the way in which Khrushchev has exploited his visits elsewhere. If he is given a hearty welcome, lie will claim that the people of the United States will not back the government in its firm stand against further Communist depredations overseas; that the people are for a sacrifice of West Berlin, for the recognition of Red China, for the continued enshacklement of the captive nations. If he is met with "incidents," with boos and hisses on the street, with placards and picketing, then he will claim— ag he so recently said of the Scandinavian countries—that we "spit in his face," and he will rouse the Russians, who hear only one side of any story, to greater animosity toward us and our allies. There will, of course, be individuals—great and small— who will hover around Khrushchev with apparent adulation. It might be well to remember who these adulators are. We may need to know the weak ones, should there be another war—which God forbid! Such adulation will not necessarily mean they are Communists. Rather will it show that they are opportunists, striving to snatch a fleeting moment in tne inu-iigiLt. What can we, the people do ? We can be courteous—and quiet. We can observe in silence. We can be polite—without acclamation. We can show that, as individuals, we are an integral part of the nation; that, party politics put aside, we stand by the government in time of crisis; that we, as individuals who vote our government into office, are ready to abide by the laws, and to keep the peace with anyone who will, abide by it—but that we will resist wholeheartedly any attempt to bully or browbeat, to threaten, blackmail or attack our country. It is we, the people of the United States, who, by our actions and attitude, can most forcefully—yet politely— snow Khrushcnev that he is up against something more powerful than he has ever faced—free men who intend to maintain their freedom! Driver's Responsibility All drivers are urged to help children arrive at their schools safely by observing school zone driving regulations. Responsibility for safe driving in school zones is placed squarely on the driver's shoulders by law. A good driver also accepts a moral obligation for children's safety by operating his vehicle with care on streets even before he enters a marked school zone. After three months of driving past closed schools without encountering school buses making their regular rounds, some motorists may forget the need for caution when school opens again. While traffic authorities recognize reduced speed limits in school zones are not necessary except during those hours which children are crossing the road or are close to it for any reason, extreme caution should be practiced during school hours. In Ohio, the law also requires every driver to stop when meeting or overtaking a school bus stopped to load or unload children along the highways. While state law does not apply in some instances—such as in municipal corporations and to drivers on the opposite roadway of a divided highway—it is designed to provide a safety zone for children while boarding or leaving the bus. It is particularly important as a safeguard for children who must cross the highway going to or from the bus. "Violations are dealt with severely; but more important, a driver should weigh the cost of a child's life against his arriving at a destination a minute or two early. Large numbers of school children frequently must walk along the streets approaching schools for long distances. The danger of a child darting into the street is perhaps greater along the approach street than in the school zone itself, simply because certain safeguards such as school patrols do not exist at those, points. To the alert and safe driver, the presence of school children any where is a 'School Zone' sign. Nixon9s Opponent It now appeal's virtually certain that Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York will oppose Vice President Nixon for tbf. Renublican presidential nomination. Nixon himself, whose talents in the realm of political judgment are not open to question, is reported to be convinced that Rockefeller wants to run and will run. Other astute political observers share this view. Nixon's present lead is tremendous. His political stature was greatly enhanced during his recent visit to the Soviet Union. Not even the most sanguine Rockefeller supporter could reasonably deny that if the governor gets into the race he will be running uphill to catch a swift opponent with a big head start. Rockefeller cannot be written off, however. Although nianv GOP leaders may be suspicious of his liberal tendencies,. they are not likely to forget that he seems to possess the magic of political charm. School Board Lets Contracts For Clearmount Contracts totaling $303,571 for the construction of Clear- mount School were awarded at a special meeting of the North Canton Board of Education held Wednesday night, Sept. 2. This was well under the architect's estimated cost of $325,000. Awarded the general contract on a low bid of $202,767 was the Jim Gellenbcck General Construction Co. of Canton. Carl Sponseller & Sons of. North Canton with a low bid of $76,490 received the plumbing, heating and ventilating contract. The electrical work will be done by Frcase Electric of Canton on a bid of $21,.'ill. Seven bids were received on the general contract, four on the combined plumbing, heating and ventilating job, and nine on the electrical work, according to Ralph G. Dix Jr., Canton architect in charge. Work on the new elementary school to be located on a 14-acre site facing on Clear- mount St., just south of E. Maple, is to begin immediately, said Mr. Dix. He added that the building is to be ready for occupancy by September, 1960. As presently designed the school structure will include 12 classrooms, a multi - purpose room which will double as a cafeteria and a dining room, a kindergarten room, an administrative suite and faculty room. Thc plans permit for later expansion lo an IS-or 24-class- room building.

Dog Loses Man A North Canton man may not know it, but some little puppy is looking for him. The puppy is one of a litter of three belonging to Cindy, a black cocker spaniel, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Glen Wear of 1124 Bellflower NW. Two or four years ago, Mrs. Wear is not sure which, one of Cindy's first or second-litter puppies became the possession of a North Canton man. The man liked the dog so well that he later told Mrs. Wear he would like another if Cindy ever gave birth again. This she has done, but neither Cindy or Mrs. Wear remembers the man's name or where to contact him. Cindy is six years old. Her three most recent pups, who are six weeks old, have been hand fed for a month. They are black and white. Officially launching the multi-million dollar building project of a new modern terminal at the Akron-Canton Airport was the ground breaking ceremony held Tuesday afternoon at the airport.
