National Heroes
February has long- been called tne month of heroes, because in this month we pause to do honor to two great
Presidents — Washington and Lincoln. To many the days
are important just because they are holidays. But to countless others — many of them Americans by choice — they
are days of inspiration.

• Why has this "debunking" process been so emphasized?
Could it be because the critics themselves lacked the power
or desire to do great things ? Could it be that they assuage
their own sense of inferiority by destructiveness? Or are
they swayed by subversive forces that do not want our
United States to have national heroes, lest we refuse to lose I pany and Jack Bonsky, McKin
our identity as a nation in their idea of inernationalism — ley seriio*^ is ^Production Mana-
or,. to translate it more plainly, not internationalism, but
one world controlled by them for their own gain ?
But you cannot debunk the truth, though you may cloud
it with lies.   That is one thing these propagandists forget.
What is heroism? I think the best definition I ever
found wtis given by George Kennan years ago in the line:
"Heroismy the Caucasian mountaineers say, is endurance for
one minute more."
,: When I read that, I thought of Washington at Valley
Fot'je.y I thought of Lincoln in the darkest hours of the_
jCiVa'War;   And I thought of all the .other heroes we honor,
who did.anokgiye up^,w,h.oe,^n4ar.ed,.that one-moment more —
and Won through.
Browning phrased it this way: "One who never turned
his back but marched breast forward. Never doubted clouds
would break. Never dreamed, though right were worsted,
wrong would triumph.'r Our heroes did that. And they won
through.
When we remember that, can we be laggards when the
road is hard? With that inspiration before us, do we not
have courage to forge ahead ?
Our national heroes are the beacon lights on our path.
Let us keep that light ever aflame, that we may see our way.

A Personal Disgrace
The fact that racial and religious prejudice should, in
any form, exist in a great democracy, is an incredible mockery of the very word democracy. It should be considered
in the light of a personal disgrace to every citizen of that'-
same democracy. A disgrace as shocking and as tragic as
that of tiie discovery that a near and dear member of one's
family has become a hardened criminal. For prejudice is a
crime. It is a crime against the democratic ideal, a crime i
against the teachings of Christianity, Judaism and the other
great religions, a crime against human decency and a crime
against .just plain common sense. Furthermore, it is a
crime for: which every American citizen, directly or indirectly, is responsible, if not for its inception, at least for the
continuance of its presence in our world today.
We are responsible because of our apathy in side-stepping
the issue, because of our outmoded give-it-time-fit-will-cure-
it.self attitude, because of our kidding ourselves with the
preposterous fable that it is a special problem to be solved
by the special persons affected. The problem is our problem,
and, as long as prejudice exists in our land, we are the persons affected. :   : __
The solving of it must be done by all of us, *eaclyand

"Little Artists" Perfect Skill
For Little Art Gallery Exhibition
Approximately forty of the younger set of North Canton community are being taught some of the finer" things of
life at the Art Classes being held by Mr. Rainey in the
basement of the North Canton Public Library
-And, in addition,  these    boys
and girls; and even their teachers, are enjoying every minute
of it. Even when the picture originally intended to portray a
man, turns out to look more like
a horse; the "artists" are not
■daunted,' but go right on trying
and learning.
If their fertile imaginations
cannot pcome up with an idea for
something to paint, there are
"professional" 'paintings displayed along the walls to stimulate their thinking.
However, in most instances,
after viewing some of their art
attempts, this reporter could not
believe the stimulation was necessary. All colors under the sun
turn up on the paper as horses,
buildings, trees, and what have
you.
There are two classes held
every Saturday afternoon; one
at 1,  the other at 3.
Enrolled in the one o'clock
■class are: Jane Widejnan, Eric
Madsen, Alice Bledsoe, Van
Zandt, Bill Morrow, Bobby Rus-
son,.Diann Deimling, Debbie
Crisp, Emelie Swope, Joy Johnson,.. Margaret Sweeney, Jerry Eck, Cheryl Fryman, Steven
Jobe, Peggy Hedger, Roger

Three o'clock artists include:

Competition to produce the

they are good enough, the pictures will be exhibited in the
