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.

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.
