- Already Too High I
Don't Let Yourself Down!
Any resemblance in this article to any individual or
group is purely co-incidental.
As a matter of fact, like so many articles I write, it
evolved itself out of a more or less objective argument,
over something very simple.
A meeting- had been going on, and on, as usual, tlve
newspapers had played up the eccentrics and the exhibitionists. The argument centered around how individualistic
—or -uninhibited—a-person lmd-a-right-to-be-. 	
Hence the title of this article. Because the contention
was that while theoretically an individual has the right to
do anything he wishes that does not hurt someone else—
still he has no right to let down either the community from
which he comes, the group to which he belongs, his family
or himself. And this applies to women as well as to men.
It may not be sensible or logical, but you know that,
automatically, people, and that includes both you and I —
do judge groups, families and communities, by the representatives we have met and by how they act. Just as we
judge a person by the company he or she keeps. We feel
that like gravitates to like. And we praise or condemn
accordingly.
Therefore, knowing this, we cannot say — "I'll do as
I please—. and take the blame for my own actions." Nine
times out of.ten, it is not the person who acts foolishly who
really pays — but the people with whom he is associated
who have to bear the burden of his acts and of his public
criticism. No man CAN live unto himself alone.
. As a people, loyalty is one of our favorite virtues.
Sometimes we carry it to too great an. extreme by being
"loyal"'to. wrong people at the wrong times. But any one
who lets down his group by foolish or irresponsible acts
is being disloyal to them. He isn't playing fair.
Tjhere is another loyalty each individual owes — and
that is to himself. His actions are the advertisement of the
character he has built up. He must not let down his self,
his own reliability, his own integrity. And of course, the
man who won't let himself down, won't let down anyone
else, either!
Nation's Conscience
It has been widely supposed that the march on Washington had the central purpose of influencing Congress to
approve civil rights legislation. As a corollary, the judgment has been that tne success or fahure of the march
depends on how many votes it changes on Capitol Hill.
The march's immediate impact on Congress is of secondary impox*tance. This does not mean that the ceremonies
were unimpressive; legislators are always impressed by the
sight of massed constituents, and the dignity and eloquence
of this concerted petition for rights long denied cannot have
failed to have an effect. But it is a fair guess that most
members of Congress already have well defined views on
basic civil rights questions, and that these views were little
changed by the assemblage.
Far greater importance must be attached to the general public reaction throughout the country. This biggest of
all popular demonstrations in Washington was intensively
covered by the press, radio and television. Millions of Amei1-
icans were distant witnesses; millions of others read detailed accounts of what transpired.
What did they see and hear, what did they read about?
Not the actions of a trampling mob whipped up by rabble
rousers, as some had feared. Not outbreaks of violence, not
a rush on Capitol Hill to subject Congress to shouts and
pressure. What occurred in Washington was a deeply sincere, dignified, restrained and well behaved crowd of some
200,000 American citizens appealing to the conscience of
their fellow citizens everywhere in the land.
The effect of that appeal remains to be seen. The
chances seem good that Americans in great number will respond favorably. This, in the end, may have a decisive
effect on the kind of civil rights legislation Congress enacts.
20th Century Vacuum
Life in the 'Twentieth Century was recently likened to
"an empty house which is bound to collapse because of
pressure from without, a vacuum within, and decay all
around."
Each of us wants his life to be as full and as rich as
possible, but all around us are evidences of this vacuum.
Ernest Hemingway remarked before his death. "I live in a
vacuum that is as lonely as a radio tube when the batteries
are dead and there's no current to plug into."
The late psychiatrist Carl Jung said, "The central
neurosis of our time is emptiness."
For many of us, life is full of material blessings — the
things of the moment which are often too much with us.
But there comes a time when golf clubs, business and television do not entirely satisfy a man. The so-called full life
is, in truth, empty of meaning and value.
We need to get beyond the gathering of "things" to
the laying of a foundation built on faith — faith that gives
us hope and courage to face each day. To find that faith
we are Urged to &e&k "strength tot but lives by worshiping
together each week,
Teen Forum Will
Back Bond Issue
At its S'ept. 21 meeting,
the .North Canton Parent-
Teen Forum passed a resolution supporting the School
Bond Issue.
In 'backing the; issue, which
would provide $990,000 lor plant
improvement and expansion, the
organization urged all citizens of
the school district to vote in
favor of tlie bond issue.
' The program for the meeting
featured a panel of students.
Sophomores Janet Hess and
Jay Tucker spoke on tire staggered schedule. Extra-curricular activities provided the theme
for comments by Carol Brog-
den and Dave Martin, juniors.
'Gwen Spence and Denny 'Anderson,     seniors, dwelt on cliques.
Discussing subjects which
should have been emphasized to
help students th'e most in their
higher education were two recent (graduates: Mrs, Barbara
Button Dutton of Malone College
and   John   Rielil   of  Ohio  State.
The meeting, attended by parents and high school students,
was lreld in the Little Theater
at Hoover High.

Assign Piper Patent
To Hoover Company
Glenn T. Piper of 2H11 E.
Seventh St. was the recipient
Aug. 6, of U.S. patent No. 3,099,-
869, entitled "Process of Bonding Metals."
The sole plates of modern
smoothing irons are largely
made of aluminum which* is cast
around and embeds the electrical heating element. These sole
plates conduct heat .very well
and are light and highly resistant to corrosion. They present
a goo;] appearance and are
equally well suited for use in
dry or steam irons. However,
they have the disadvantage that
the ironing surface is not highly
resistant to abrasion even when
the sole plate is made of so-
called hard aluminum alloys.
In other words, these aluminum
metal ironing surfaces are subject to scratching and discoloration due to use of the iron.
It is the object of Mr. Piper's
invention to overcome this limitation and thus he ha.s devised
a composite sole .plate consisting
of a thin, polished stainless steel
ironing surface that is bonded to
an aluminum body. The feature
of the invention is the manner
of making the bond and basically this is accomplished by
sand blasting or grit blasting one
surface of the stainless steel
sheet and spraying upon such
surface a very thin ductile metal coating. Following this, the
aluminum body is .secured to
tlie coated surfa.ee of the stainless steel sheet by a die-casting
operation so that the desired,
firm, strong, thermal shock resistant bond is formed between
the aluminum and the stainless
steel.
According to Piper, smoothing iron sole plates, made in accordance with the process of his
invention, have been repeatedly
heated to approximately 600 degrees Fahrenheit and then plurg
ed into water at a temperature
of 50 to 60 .degrees Fahrenheit
without producing any apparent
deterioration or weakening of the
bond between the aluminum and
the stainless steel. Also, the sole
plate,s are highly resistant to
corrosion and abrasion, and
they provide adequate and uniform heat conductivity from the
heating element to the material
being ironed.
The process of the invention
may be employed for the manufacture of other composite metal articles besides the sole plates
of  smoothing irons.
This patent has been assigned
to The  Hoover Company.

i Other major improvements, in
! their order o 1 importance
j (according to the planner), are
! the   following:
Obtain parking lots for the
Central   Business   Area
Expand City Hall and the
Civic; Center
Complete 1Jto street-paving
prcgram
Acquire additional land for
parks, playgrounds and .play-lots
Work lias already begun on
several of these, with storm,
sewer projects being pushed
along as rapidly as the City
to pay for same, the City Hall
expansion in the rough drawing
stage and negotiations underway
for    more   land    for   recreation.
This all i.s po.ssibie because,
according to the Ebasco Study
of City resources and plans for
the future, the "City is now in
an excellent financial situation."
The planner, Fred LaBastille,
! adds that each improvement
will put. the City in an even
better condition, making revenue
more readily available for each
new project.
Cost of the proposed improvements for the next five-year
period, estimated by the planner,  are as follows:
] Full storm sewer system,
$700,000 to 8800,000. This could
be done in two phases, the
first:  phase to cost $150,000.
2. Parking lots, at a cost of
$300,000 can be financed by businessmen, the City and businessmen, or an Urban Renewal Project,
3. City Hall and Civic Center, $1,100,000 (including land
acquisition i. Thi.s could be financed   by a general bond issue.
4. Street paving, unknown.
The study indicates that more
park land is not: a pressing problem..
■After brief addresses, the governor and other officials moved
a red-and-whiu. temporarv ■bar-',
ricade and the long luO-car
caravan wended its way np the
new highway to the airport turn-
off and back to Topp's Chalet
for luncheon, courtesy the Canton 'Chamber of Commerce.
In charge of affairs was J.
T. (Mike) Mulligan, chairman
of the 'Chambers highway committee and Canton division
manager for E'ast Ohio Gas
Co.
Riding in the caravan, led by
state patrol motorcyclists, was
the governor and State Highway
'Director P. E. Masheter. They
;lid not join the others at luncheon, however, but hurried back
to Columbus for a 2 o'clock
meeting.
Serving a.s master of ceremonies     for    the half-hour pro
gram at the highway opening
was Earl Nightingale, in Canton
to speak at the Tuesday night
'Chamber of Commerce installation   banquet.
Tho highway was heavily
traveled the rest of the clay
with cars going to and from
Canton and the bi-county port,
as well as taking an easy access 'between Canton and Lake
O'Springs, Canal Fulton and
North Canton and 54th and
Whipple.
It is particularly helpful to
North Canton residents who have
their choice of two accesses —
at Easthill and Portage.
Other officials introduced by
Mr. Nightingale included: C.

Port Manager Speaks
Guest speaker at the installation banquet, held at Akron-
Canton Airport's Savarin Restaurant, was Mike Griffin, airport   manager.
He described the airport as
a "tool for prosperity and greater hapinessS'
In developing the role the
port plays in the life of the
average citizen, Mr. Griffin
pointed out that economically,
the port employes 20o persons,
at an annual payroll of $1 1-2
million. It provides good transportation for business as well
as serving to draw industry to
ithe area.
He explained that 22 cents
per person per year cost of
maintaining the port is far
cheaper than most airports
throughout the country.
Discussing the question of
when jet service will be available, Mr. Griffin pointed out
that'a half million dollars would
need to be spent to extend runways to have jet flights come
in   to   the   bi-county port  now.
