Vol. 38 — No. 2 2 Sections—12 Pages NORTH CANTONS OHIO. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1063 10c Per Copy - 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. ' " » i ' "■' 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. Plan Sayss Storm Sewers Are Most Important Improvement Constructing new storm sewers has top priority on the list of proposed Capita] Improvements included in Volume III of the City's Master Plan.

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.
