!FH£ AMERICAN WAY \ ••:-." •'>/;■:•.••-■-'.'.f.-- yn^ •*A.*l*;y'Ai\j* 'if YA/y;h^ n IF* » i ■■:''AKigm*"' 'Taih't Fair On Superiority Superiority is a word, that has taken quite a lot of abuse throughout tlie ages'—even before Hitler let loose his diatribes upon "The Superior Race." Too often it has been used in quotation marks, as though it were a term of contempt, and as though, no one should try to achieve superiority. Ancl yet, isn't one of the greatest strengths of our nation the' fact that throughout its history men have been encouraged to lift themselves up, rather than level down to a common equation? There has always been room at the top and those who have made the grade have come from all1 sorts of backgrounds. One of the great fallacies of the devotees to Statism, whether they be Facist, Communist, or Socialist, is that they want to level everyone else down to them, without trying to lift the downtrodden up to their level. But what constitutes superiority? I like the definition from the sayings of Confucious. "There are three marks of a superior man: being* virtuous, he is free from anxiety; being wise, he is free from perplexity; being brave, he is free from fear." He is free from aipciety because he adheres to the coui-se of right, steering away from the snags and whirlpools which might engulf him. He is not worried for fear of what might be said—because he has given no cause for just criticism. He never has to remember what he said— because he speaks the truth. He is free from perplexity, because he is wise. He has studied things through, thought things out, and mastered both himself and his subject. In short, he knows what he is doing, why he is doing* it, and how to accomplish his purpose. He is free from fear because he is brave—not with the rashness of daring* action, but because he has an inner poiu'age, a reliance in his powers and a faith in the greater powers and wisdom of his God. He does not stand apart in pride, nor does he truckle to the mob. He is constantly learning and never satisfied with his own accomplishments. His word is good and he can be depended upon to consider others before his own personal interests. It is the superior man who makes a good leader. And one of the advantages of our form of government is that we have the power to seek out superior men and vote them into office. If we do not choose, we have only ourselves to blame. Let the Women Try One of the more able Washington correspondents recently devoted his column, as Washington correspondents occasionally do, to the question ,of how to provide good enough education for Americans. He elaborated at some length on the idea that if only the nation's women could be interested in the problems of education, something broad, and definite would soon be done about those problems. Aside from the fact that the writer blandly ignores the very considerable effort already being made by women along these lines, the notion has some merit. It is true that in recent years women, rather than men, have been mainly responsible for community discussions of important cultural and sponsored lectures on such subjects. There is at least a reasonable chance that if women's study groups all over the J country were to focus on education, the quality of the national debate could be much improved. At present most of tliis debate revolves about such matters as whether the parochial schools are entitled to federal aid, racial integration in the schools, and whether federal aid will lead to federal control in the classroom. Although these are questions that warrent discussion, they are more or less peripheral. Tlie main inquiry should be devoted, rather, to ramifications of the central question: What is the best way to assure that the maximum number of young Americans, wherever they are and regardless of their financial status, will receive first-rate education to fit them for citizenship in a great democracy which leads the free world? I Perhaps the women could bring this desirable change to focus. But it is to be hoped that they will ring in their menfolk, too. Men also have a stake in education — and who knows, they might even contribute an idea now and then? Everyone Can Help A baby is borii with an opening in the wall that separates the lower chambers of its tiny heart. Only skilled surgery can correct the defect and give this child a chance to survive and lead a healthy, normal life. You can help. An old man will die unless he receives emergency blood vessel surgery. You can help. In a quiet laboratory a highly skilled man tinkers with an intricate nest of glass tubing and bottles and retorts. If he is allowed to continue along his line of research, he may be able to evolve a better artificial lung for use in heart surgery. You can help. In another laboratory a team of scientists is doing research on changes that take plate when a muscle tissue contracts and relaxes. If they can proceed with their research it may lead to better understanding of that remarkable pump, the heart muscle. You can help. Heart clinics and educational programs are saving lives and rehabilitating victims of heart circulatory disease. You can' help. You can help by contributing generously to the Heart Fund, which battles the disease responsible for more than half the nation's deaths.

We're Typical j 'TPilot Study of Public Wants To Guide Future Programming As a "typical 'Y' operation in a small community," the North Canton Community Building YMCA has been chosen one of four to conduct a Pilot Study of the community it serves. The studies are being sponsored in four of the 175 operations in the Ohio-West Virginia Council of the Young • Men's Christian Assn. According to Don Davis, local "Y" executive, this is the first such study to be conducted in this area. Other operations participating in the project are Warren, Sandusky and the Central Cincinnati YMCA. The purpose of the study is to help determine how people feel about their community and the YMCA, to get a public evaluation of what the "Y" is doing, and to get an expression of desire as to what should be done. The first training session for tlie North Canton interviewers was held Monday, Feb. 19, with the two-hour interviews beginning the 20th. To achieve a cross-section of opinion, eight different groups have been called in for interviews. Containing eight to ten persons per group, these teams represent business leaders, parents of youth, teenagers, religious and education leaders, adult "Y" participants, committee participants, board of managers and Hoover employes. Both "Y'' members and non- members have been included. Tapes are beir.g made at each two-hour interview.

Meet Your Teacher Biographies In Brief Mrs. Judy Russell A second year kindergarten teacher, Mrs. J'udy Russell has lived in North Canton nearly a year (Born Aug. 10, 1938, she graduated from Lehman High School and attended Miami University, Kent State Uiliversity, and the University of Hawaii. She has been active in TB drives, Rod Feather, United Fund, Sr. Center work, Aultman Hospital, Art Institute Music 'Program, league dance programs, Eastern Star, FTA president, Junior League, and PTA officer. 'Before teaching at Clearmount She was a college student at Timken Park. ' 'Mrs. Russell}' lives .witli;" her. husband, Jaek'/W'5#i Nv.'-ftiain St. and"attends:. Zibht! ...United: Church of Christ. Mrs. D. Shirley Smith A teacher at Clearmount,' Mrs. D. Shirley Smith has taught in the school system for four years. She attended State Teacher's College in Indiana, Pa., after graduating from 'Penn High School. Mrs. Smith formerly taught at Mbntclair Academy ih Jtfew Jersey. She and her husband, _ Norris, have three children:, Stephen, 13; Susan, 12; and Sally, 9. (Tihe family lives at 950 Foster St. A member of the Zion Evangelical Church, she is a Girl Scout Leader and a member of .i'i^S&kiu/%'tt3tfiiifh-,' Pa..".She ft^-ltyed'- in.' Notth -Gantori; iot 12 "years, ■- -■■ .was led about the desert by the Spirit (or forty days." St. Luke, 4:1 A certain non-Catholic lady ■could not understand why Catholics do not eat meat on Friday. She thought the idea unreasonable. Her gardener was a Catholic, a simple, hard-work-' ing old man. One day she asked him what he thought of it. His answer cleared away her misgivings and eventually led her into the Church. "Ah" Miss Mary," he explained, "Christ lived for me; Christ worked for me; Christ suffered for me; Christ died for me. Is not my doing without meat on Friday a very small return for all that?" The old gardener' had the real spirit of penance, the "why" and "wherefore" of Lent — to do what Christ did, not just because we must, not principally because we are commanded, but because Christ did so much for us. Why Lent? Why do we fast and deny ourselves, why do we attend special services, say more prayers and better .prayers for forty long days? We do it because Christ did it. "Now Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and led about the desert by the Spirit for forty days, being tempted all the while by the devil. And in those days he ate nothing; and When they were completed he was hungry." St. Luke, 4:H-2. .The same Spirit that led him into the desert leads us into the land of self-denial. The •same Slpirit that called Christ is calling you. Picture Christ in the full bloom of His manhood startirg out into that barren desert. There were no trees to give shade, no water to quench his thirst, no food, no friends, no comforts, no conveniences, notMrig of what the body craves, nothing but burning sand jagged rocks, and thorny bushes. No sign of life but the howling of wild beasts. There we see the 'Son of God Himself, alone and lonely. Our Master remained there for forty days of the most rigorous fasting, forty days of conversation with His Father, forty days without the simplest comforts of the body. IBecause our Savior spent those forty days in penance, we try to do the same. He did it all for us, but He wants us to do our share for Him. He wants us to follow Him, to answer the call of the Snirit. He tells us; '"If anyone wishes to come after me, let him deny himself, and 'take up his cross, and follow me." St. Matthew, 16:24. 'For forty days Christ ate nothing. In imitation, Mother Church asks those who can to cut down on food and drink. We must also fast spiritually. By spiritual fasting we mean fasting from sin. All year long, especially in" Lent, Ve must keep that fast, Past with your eyes. Are you in the habit of looking at every type of.#eture that comes a- long? Do sexy and" suggestive scenes' fiiid• ifeheir way' tfhrdutgh your eyes into your soul? Are your glances at persons of the opposite sex serioUs occasions of sin to you? Are you the "must see every movie and TV program" type? Think of Christ in the desert, giving up sight of everything__pjeasant and lawful for you. For Him — give lip the unlawful, and sometimes even the lawful. Fast with your tongue. Not just by abstaining from food and drin'kir.g, but by abstaining from filthy language, suggestive stories, cursing and swearing. Tell Christ who was silent in the bitter silence of the desert that you can't! 'Fast with your ears. Close them to the kind of talk just mentioned, and open them to the commdands of your parents, the advice of your teachers, the corrections of your fiends. St. Francis de Sales said, "Believe me, the mortification of the senses - of the sight, the hearing, the tongue - is more beneficial than to wear a chain of iron and a hair-shirt." As we follow our Savior a- round that desert for f o r t y days, we find him prayirg 'constantly. We must pray, too. The best prayer is the Holy Mass; it is the best sacrifice, it unites all the sufferings and teachings of our Lord into one half-hour service. Christ gave up all comfort for me, but I don't love him enough to give up a little sleep! Mass is Calvary -the desert - Gethsemane - the Passion - the Last Supper . the Crucifixion - and Easter all over again. On A s h Wesnesday, Holy Mother Church gently puts ashes on our heads to open this sacred season, reminding us that we are dust, reminding us of (Oohtifmfed on Page 3) Five Area Churches Plan Program For World Prayer Dsy Five Xorth Canton churches are cooperating in a public "World Day of Prayer" observance Friday, March 9. The 1:30 p.m. service will be held in Northminster (United Presbyterian i Church, 2.17 W. Maple St. Thome of this year's service is "For God So' Loved the World." The Rov. Francis W.

Portage PTA To Hear Ocasek State Senator Oliver Ocasek of Northfield will bo guest speaker at the Tuesday, March 6, meeting of :he Portage 'PTA. His talk on "Spending Dollars to Make Sense in Education" will be followed by a question and answer period. Mr. Ocasek is assistant professor of education at Akron University ancl a former principal at Tallmadgo High School. He earned hi.s M.A. "degree at Kent Stale and is working toward his Ph.D. ai Western Reserve. ■An outstanding political figure, Mr. Ocasek has been voted one of five outstanding senators in the State and was named "Man of the Year in I960" by the Akron 'Junior Chamher of Commerce. The S o'clock meeting will be in the .school cafeteria. George B. Hayes Jr., representing t h e Clearmount PT1A, read a letter from that organization requesting: (1) gravel for a temporary walk on the ex- ten tion of Clearmount between Fairview and Edgewood; and (21 fencing in of the retention basin off 3. Woodside. Several other PTA members also were present at the Council meeting. Council President Charles Strausser explained that the walk should have been put into decent condition last year, and referred the matter to Chester Sterling, director of administra* tion. Reporting on the Feb. 21 meeting of the Storm Water Sewer Committee of Council, Councilman Donald Newbauer indicated that the committee would seek Council approval to .proceed with plans to extend Clear- mount St. through to Edgewood and to cover over the retention basin and iput in a park area. To carry the extra flow of water, if the retention basin is eliminated, additional pipe would have to bo laid, City Engineer Leroy Cooper told Council. Newbauer, in his request to Council, made later during the meeting, asked and received approval for the engineer to proceed with plans for a project thai would take care of a 11 southeast portions of town that drain through to the south. President Strausser explained, for those present, the procedure for such a project, that is required under new istate laws: after the engineer submits plans and estimates, Council must pass a Resolution of Necessity, in order to proceed. An assessing board is then appointed to figure estimated costs per unit. Public hearings are held, after which citizens involved have an opportunity to appeal to an appeals board. It is only after all of this that Council can take action to proceed or not to proceed with the project. In past years, Council completed the project, and then appointed an- assessing board to figure the individual costs.

And in those days he ate nothing; and When they were completed he was hungry." St. Luke, 4:H-2. .The same Spirit that led him into the desert leads us into the land of self-denial. The •same Slpirit that called Christ is calling you. Picture Christ in the full bloom of His manhood startirg out into that barren desert. There were no trees to give shade, no water to quench his thirst, no food, no friends, no comforts, no conveniences, notMrig of what the body craves, nothing but burning sand jagged rocks, and thorny bushes. No sign of life but the howling of wild beasts. There we see the 'Son of God Himself, alone and lonely. Our Master remained there for forty days of the most rigorous fasting, forty days of conversation with His Father, forty days without the simplest comforts of the body. IBecause our Savior spent those forty days in penance, we try to do the same. He did it all for us, but He wants us to do our share for Him. He wants us to follow Him, to answer the call of the Snirit. He tells us; '"If anyone wishes to come after me, let him deny himself, and 'take up his cross, and follow me." St. Matthew, 16:24. 'For forty days Christ ate nothing. In imitation, Mother Church asks those who can to cut down on food and drink. We must also fast spiritually. By spiritual fasting we mean fasting from sin. All year long, especially in" Lent, Ve must keep that fast, Past with your eyes. Are you in the habit of looking at every type of.#eture that comes a- long? Do sexy and" suggestive scenes' fiiid• ifeheir way' tfhrdutgh your eyes into your soul? Are your glances at persons of the opposite sex serioUs occasions of sin to you? Are you the "must see every movie and TV program" type? Think of Christ in the desert, giving up sight of everything__pjeasant and lawful for you. For Him — give lip the unlawful, and sometimes even the lawful. Fast with your tongue. Not just by abstaining from food and drin'kir.g, but by abstaining from filthy language, suggestive stories, cursing and swearing. Tell Christ who was silent in the bitter silence of the desert that you can't! 'Fast with your ears. Close them to the kind of talk just mentioned, and open them to the commdands of your parents, the advice of your teachers, the corrections of your fiends. St. Francis de Sales said, "Believe me, the mortification of the senses - of the sight, the hearing, the tongue - is more beneficial than to wear a chain of iron and a hair-shirt." As we follow our Savior a- round that desert for f o r t y days, we find him prayirg 'constantly. We must pray, too. The best prayer is the Holy Mass; it is the best sacrifice, it unites all the sufferings and teachings of our Lord into one half-hour service. Christ gave up all comfort for me, but I don't love him enough to give up a little sleep! Mass is Calvary -the desert - Gethsemane - the Passion - the Last Supper . the Crucifixion - and Easter all over again. On A s h Wesnesday, Holy Mother Church gently puts ashes on our heads to open this sacred season, reminding us that we are dust, reminding us of (Oohtifmfed on Page 3) Five Area Churches Plan Program For World Prayer Dsy Five Xorth Canton churches are cooperating in a public "World Day of Prayer" observance Friday, March 9.

Hayes Jr., representing t h e Clearmount PT1A, read a letter from that organization requesting: (1) gravel for a temporary walk on the ex- ten tion of Clearmount between Fairview and Edgewood; and (21 fencing in of the retention basin off 3. Woodside. Several other PTA members also were present at the Council meeting. Council President Charles Strausser explained that the walk should have been put into decent condition last year, and referred the matter to Chester Sterling, director of administra* tion. Reporting on the Feb. 21 meeting of the Storm Water Sewer Committee of Council, Councilman Donald Newbauer indicated that the committee would seek Council approval to .proceed with plans to extend Clear- mount St. through to Edgewood and to cover over the retention basin and iput in a park area. To carry the extra flow of water, if the retention basin is eliminated, additional pipe would have to bo laid, City Engineer Leroy Cooper told Council. Newbauer, in his request to Council, made later during the meeting, asked and received approval for the engineer to proceed with plans for a project thai would take care of a 11 southeast portions of town that drain through to the south. President Strausser explained, for those present, the procedure for such a project, that is required under new istate laws: after the engineer submits plans and estimates, Council must pass a Resolution of Necessity, in order to proceed. An assessing board is then appointed to figure estimated costs per unit. Public hearings are held, after which citizens involved have an opportunity to appeal to an appeals board. It is only after all of this that Council can take action to proceed or not to proceed with the project. In past years, Council completed the project, and then appointed an- assessing board to figure the individual costs. In discussing this project, Councilman Russell Youtz re- (Continued on Page Six) Fund-Raising Committee Heading the Building Fund Campaign for'Northminster Church are (left to right), row 1: William Tannehill, Mrs. Dale Snook, Mrs. Harry Swickard and Merrill Purviance.
