COUNCIL PROMISES
CAREFUL ACTION ON
ANNEXING HEIGHTS
Will Connult Residents Of
New Heights Before
Annexation
Residents of the new
Heights need not be alarmed
over the chance of council
taking preeipitate action on
the admission of the district
into the city, Councilman Jpe
O'Neill advises.
Following a report of the
city engineers and the ree-ommendation
of City Man-ager
Campbell, many
Heights residents thought that
action would be taken without con-sultation
with them.
According to O'Neill, while the
question has been put up to eoun-cil,
no action will be taken without
sounding out the wishes of Heights
residents. When action is then
taken, it will be in accordance with
the desires of the majority.
A preliminary canvass of the
new Heights has shown about a 50-
CIO split on the annexation question.
Some claim that though there may
be advantages in being annexed to
the City there might be an in-creased
tax to pay.
Others claim annexation of the
Heights would mean the extension
of city police and Sre protection,
and municipal upkeep of the
streets, and would mean the ad-vantage
of Akron public schoo14
high schools and the municipal uni-versity
without speeial tuition fees
for Heights children.
Those who are opposed to an-nexation
claim that they have
practically all the advantages of
residents of the city, with the
lower tax rate of Tallmadge
Township, and that the increase in
taxation would not be compensated
by the slight advantages gained
through annexation.
The new Heights was paid a
real compliment by the city en-gineers.
. Of all the built-up sec-tions
adjacent to the city, the
Heights alone was approved as
being. su•ciently well laid out and
develo.ped to w arrant annexation.
The old Heights was taken into
the city about •ve years ago. The
city boundary line runs along Brit-tain-
rd.

MOTHERS UNITE IN -
'POPPY WEEK" SALE
,000 Poppies To Be Sold
To Raise Fund For
War Memorial
This is National Popl)y
Teek.
With 75,000 American
,ys giving up their lives
ion the poppy-strewn fields
Flanders, the poppy has
deome almost a national
oWer.
This year Poppy Week in
kron is in the hands of the
'eterans of Foreign Wars,
ssisted by the Akron war
tothers, and other organizations
f ex-service men.
Some day this week dozens of
kron prettiest girls will appear
' Goodyear selling poppies. Any
,ntribution from 10 cents up will
e acceptable. The War Vets
ave purchased 40,000 poppies
hich must be sold, the proceeds
:om the sale to be used partly
or the erection of a memorial to
,kron service men at Rose Hill
emetery, a small part of this to
o to the fund for French gar
vidows and orphans.
Goodyearites in the past have
ieen surfeited with tag days and
des.
But in Poppy Week is a cause
which none of us can refuse. Too
many of our own friends, our own
buddies, gave up their lives in
A
France, for us to refuse- a few
cents to help build a memorial to
their sacrifice.
This week a poppy on the coat
lapel is a badge of honor, a trib- '.di ute to the heroism of Akron's
service men.
Over 100 Goodyear men, nearly 1,000 Akron and Summit County men, made the su-preme
sacrifice in France.
Wives of Goodyear omcials, mothers and sisters of Goodyear service men, are aid-ing
the Veterans of Foreign Wars in their Poppy Week campaign to raise funds for a
War Memorial.
Their backing pledges the worth of the cause.
It is four years since nearly 50,000 young men of Akron marched away to enter
Uncle Sam's service. Surely Akron and folks of Goodyear have not, in those four years,
forgotten their sacri•ce.
