THE WOMAN'S
Music,   Story,   Christmas   Seals   and
Addresses Receive Attention.
A pleasing feature of The Woman's
club meeting on Monday night was
the reading of a clever story written
by Mrs. Beth Shorb for the "Hidden
Title Contest" held during book week
winners of which were announced last
week in The Sun.
A communication from the Division
of Conservation regarding Stream
pollution was read and filed for future
action.
There was a discussion regarding
sale of Christmas seals with a notation from the chairman to the fact
that Stark county was belbw its quota
last year and the hope expressed for
wh'aifc-hearted co-operation this year.
' The' entertainment program in
charge of Mrs. Roshong was much enjoyed. Mrs. Clark Wehl sang "Bird
Calls at Eventide" and "I Love a Lassie." Lester Bailey gave two cornet
solos.
Mrs. M. L. Pierce's talk on "Legislation" was postponed to a future
date. A. E. Howell of the family service society gave an interesting talk
on "The Approach To Social Welfare."
Miss Sickafoose furnished interesting-
statistics on this subject.
It was resolved that The Woman's
club assist, specially some needy family—name to be furnished by the family service society at Christmas time.

decorated. The decorating is not overdone and the simplicity of the whole
affair gives tone to the windows.

Drug- Store is dressed for the holiday

In the Community Building on Saturday night, Dec. 8, Dolores Costello,
loveliest of screen stars, in "The College Widow" makes her first venture
into the field of light comedy, a venture so successful that it is doubtful
whether the public tvill allow her to
remain very far from it in the future.
She is cast, as every one who remembers the sbectacularly successful
George Ade stage play, will recall, as
the daughter of a college president,
who, because of his inability to "win
athletic laurels for the school, is about
\o be ejected.   -
The young lady sets about winning-
men for the team,-ancl so successful is
she, that each of the eleven fights as
fiercelv, as ever knight of old, each
believing that he himself is Jane's especial tavorite. f
She wins the son of a rich man who
has promised a legacy to the college,
from idleness to indust?y.-» She IdSes
the faith of the lot of her knights errant, only-to win it back and also all
she has fought for and more. "The
College Widow" is the most delightful college play ever written and
Dolores is the most delightful of heroines.   Don't miss either.;
The Other features are "a "Buster
Steps Out"; comedy ancl a news reel.
LETTERSIHHESUN
Let People Be Grateful
Editors The .Sun:, The Thanksgiving
clay is past and much was done to remind us of the fact. The President's
message urged all of us to meet in
the various churches or wherever we
may be and thank God for Sis goodness to us, by-prayer-.and.meditation.
The origin of the day was brought
about by the Colonists finding themselves with bountiful crops and health
after much privation, and so they
wanted to show their gratitude to
God. .,        ■
At the .services in the Corifmunity
Christian church last week there was
not a hint of self-praise, but God was
magnified for His Smiling Providence.
I clo not, want to be pessimistic, but
I feel much is.clone now that is not
according to the President's proclamation or in the spirit of those early pioneers who felt impelled to set asicle a
special time for thanksgiving. They
knew that God was God, the All-
Powerful Ruler ancl Kind Benefactor.
. It seems to me we have drifted
away from the spiritual to the sensual when we make a holiday out of
a Holy Day.
Commercialism, frivolity, feasting
and debauchery are destroying the
sanctity of the clay.
Banks, postoffices, courthouses, and
other institutions close their doors for
the clay. I wonder if closing the doors
and ceasing* from work is giving
thanks to God. If not, then it becomes
9- mockery.
. How can the atheist, the infidel, the
irreverent, the profane, the indifferent,
bring an acceptable thank offering to
God when they deny His existence by
word or disgrace Him by their misconduct. Are there not cases where
penitence should pave the way for
gratitude if it is to rise higher than
the top of the head ?

SEVERAL NOTED SPEAKERS
[By JANE HOLL]
Friday morning about 8:15 four
girls, Leila Swearingen, Nettie Mathie,
Beulah Tritt and I, met at the Reformed church. We were all prepared
for the trip to Paris (Ohio). Edwin
Warstler drove his machine ancl Mrs.
Mansfield was with us, too.
' We arrived at Paris about a quarter after nine, and as the services
didn't begin until 9:45 we had a half
hour»to ourselves.- We went to a little
stdre to get some notebooks and pencils because we found out, while on
the way over, that we had to take
note. After we purchased, these articles we went to the Reformed church
where the services were held.
These conferences are held yearly by
the young people of the east Ohio
classis. The theme of this council was
"Youth ancl the Christian Quest."
The session opened with Miss Florence Harmon, president of the young
people's organization of Massillon,
leading. At 10:10 a. iri. the Rev. Frederick Wentzell of Philadelphia spoke.
The Rev. Mr. Wentzell is on the board
of young people's work in Philadelphia. He isn't pastor of any church,
but devotes his time entirely to young-
people's work.
In his lecture he gave three main
points. The first was that life is good.
It is saicl that we are born ancl conceived sinners. We are not born sinners, but it is environment that detcr-

Tho men and women who volunteered to solicit $350,000 for Mercy hospital got together,on Monday evening
at a dinner in the Courtland hotel,
Canton, and decided't6 push the work
with vigor. As The Sun has explained
several times, this drive is made
necessary owing to the inadequacy of
the present quarters to take care of
the many persons applying for admission.
Mercy hospital knows no creed, no
nationality, no color. It is purely a
humanitarian institution willing at all
times to serve the public. Many persons in North Canton have had occasion to thank God thatpsuch an institution was located within a few miles
from here. So when the solicitor calls
upon you, make your contribution
with a smile, and keep in mind that
you are helping yourself as well as.
others when you contribute.
Names of Commillees
II. C. Pontius, general chairman of
tbe campaign, told a writer for The
Sun yesterday that he felt confident
the sales army would be victorious.
"The people of Stark county have
never failed to respond when an appeal has been made to tlrscn, and-this
month the project is so W&rthy that
all will do their share.'' he said.
The solicitors in North Cnaton are:
J. P. Festerly, Edward G. Gross,
Wayne Hummel, Ai'thur Kolp, Irvin
Moose, Wm. H. Parker, Carl O. Sponseller, Edwin Warstler, Clark M.
Wehl, P. D. Willaman, Ralph Young,
M. E. Kolp, Joseph Blubaugh, Genevieve Diebel, Herman Rose, Agnes
Kolp, Cyril J. Kolp, Austin Schiltz, J.
H. Voneman, Charles H. Schafer. In
Middlebranch, Nicholas Grant ancl
George W. Henning will look after
the soliciting.
The Ladies' Literary club added to
its laurels last night (Tuesday) on
the occasion of its annual holiday banquet. These occasions are always well
arranged, each year surpassing the
previous one, and Tuesday evening
was no exception.'
At 7:30 the members of the club,
their husbands and a few friends met
in the   Community   Christian  church
and were invited to the banquet room
; where tables were waiting, elaborately
I and beautifully ornamented. Down the
j center  of  each   table,   over  a  white
cloth, was laid a wide ribbon of yel-
'jpw and upon it a narrower ribbon of
black, black ancl yellow being the club
colors. '
,'..'-At intervals were placed beautiful
yellow water lillies, in the center of
each stood a black candle tied with
yellow tulle. Between the water lillies were black bowls filled with yellow chrysanthemums. At each place
was a favor of either an address book
or a telephone reference pad. The
favors were handsome as well as
useful.
The banquet, served by tho members of the Sunday-school class of the
Community Christian church, Mrs. M.
A. Cossaboom . teacher, consisted of
four courses, well served and deli-
ciously cooked.
Mrs. Frank C. Wise acted a.s toast-
master and made a short address of
welcome, to which J. F. Gross responded, interspersing his remarks
with a number of funny stories..
Mrs. Jessie Schiltz and Mrs. Bessie
Swope sang two numbers, "In the
Starlight," "I Wandered Off."
Mrs. M. A. Cossaboom read a story,
"Fishing for Mrs. Ripley." Miss Jennie Swope gave two piano solos, "Vesper Chimes," Fulton, "Gesu Bambino,"
Yon, ancl responded to an encore with i
"A Dream," Bartlett. •
Mrs. Harry Wise recitejl two of Edgar-Guests' poems which concluded
the after-dinner program.
Each number was well done ancl
entertaining, as is always the case on
these occasions.
Miss.Esta Stoner was in charge of
the stunt portion of the program. The
year books for 1929 were distributee!
to the members.
Offer You 100 Cents Worth of Goods
. For One Dollar.
         )
The members of the Legion Auxiliary of North Canton are sponsoring
the* sale of trays, baskets, brooms ancl
other articles in the lobby of the Community Building bn Friday afternoon
ancl evening, Dec. 7.
Those articles wore made in tho
Chillicothe Veterans' Bureau hospital
by men who were'made cripples and
gassed on the battlefields, of France
while upholding the honor ancl integrity of tlie United States..
The Auxiliary makes no' profit on
the articles sold. Every cent is turned
over to the fund .the injured men raise
each year by their labor to buy a few
additional comforts for themselves
und others more seriously crippled.
When you think of these brave fellows struggling manfully clay after
clay in the workshop of the hospital,
and th-gn let your memory go back to
1917 when these self-same men,
mached to the defence of their country, alert, clear-eyed, proud ancl
strong, it causes even the strongest
minds to wish they coulcl make life a
little easier for them.
The way to clo it is simple. Go to
the Community Building ancl buy
something useful for yourself or
friends on Friday. Keep in .mind, too,
that these wounded men are not begging. They are giving you 100 cents
in goods for every dollar you spend.

FIRE CHIEF SEES DANGER
Elmer Johnson of the North Canton
Bank heard a commotion on the pavement and thought that the schooner
in the large colored revolving globe
in the window was sending out an
SOS, having struck a whirlpool.   .
A few moments later he learned the
real reason..  Charles B. Williams, executive  secretary  of the  Community'
Building, by a rush that would make'
Red Grange look like a novice, darted \
through the crowd and holding aloft
a   wad   of   greenbacks,   reached   tho
bank counter. I
"He looks like the statue of* Liberty ]
in New York harbor," saicl one man.:
"On   a  foggy   morning,"  said   an- ]
other.
But Mr. Williams heeded not the
wise-crackers. He wanted the honor |
of being the first person to make a'
deposit in the North Canton Bank
Christmas club for 1929. And, boys,
be did it. Yes, siree, he did it, ancl
"done it."

during the time her husband'- was

office, is seriously ill in 'her home in
Akron.
Word comes to The Sun that her
death is looked for. at any time. Mrs.
Jones is in Akron with her much of
the time. . . .
Mrs.. Leonard is numbered among
the "bright women" . of , Ohio. For
years until her recent illness, she was
chief auditor for the N. O. P. and L.
Her son Sherril has distinguished himself as ■ a-writer..
"Who was the first person in
North Canton to make a deposit in
The Citizens Building and Loan association Christmas club for 1929?" -a
writer for The Sun . asked Ralph
Young.
Ralph's smile faded. "As a matter
of fact there were several, if you get
what I mean. That1 honor formerly
went to Mayor Becher. and President
A. A. Swope of the Board of Education, nnd for several years it was nip
and tuck between them. This year,
however, half a dozen persons appeared at the window at the same time,
so I had to call it a draw.
"Oh, yes, Secretary Williams was
in the crowd." And the smile returned
to his face. "He was getting ready
to make a rush like a tackle on Ohio
State, but he dropped his roll, ancl
when he stooped to get it the crowd
jumped on his back ancl handed in
their money before he could shake 'em
off. So he lost the honor here," said
Ralph.

TALKED TO DAUGHTER
Mrs. James Bausher had-a nice conversation over the long distance telephone with her daughter Merle oh
Saturday evening. Merle is in New
York taking a post-graduate course
in anathesia.
Miss Merle has already been there
two months and will not be home for
Christmas this year, but hopes to return about   May 1,1929.
The  monthly  business  meeting  of
North Canton Post, American.Legion,;
Drum and Bugle Corps, was held on [
Monday evening in the Legion room. |
An interesting session it proved to be. j
One of the main subjects discussed I
was that of uniforms. The uniform'
committee has selected a combination
guaranteed to "knock your eye out"
ancl one that the American Legion and
anyone connected with North Canton
can well be proud of when fitted on
the stalwart figures of North Canton's
drum and bugle corps.
It can fittingly be mentioned at, this
time that a substantial gift has been |
reecived by the corps from the Legion j
Auxiliary  to  be  applied toward  the'
purchase of uniforms.   This co-operative spirit of the auxiliary is cer- ]
tainly to be commended and is greatly,
appreciated by these Legion boys who
are working so. hard to make the corps
a pronounced success for the benefit of |
the Legion and North Canton. '•.
CHRISTffiASPARTY j

Woman's Club Meets In Hoover Inn, j
Monday Night, Dec. 17.
Those having charge of the sale of
Christmas seals met in North Canton
yesterday and decided to push the sale
with vigor. The committee is composed of Mrs. C. B. Williams, chairman; Mrs. Ad Willamai),; Mrs. Wm.
Newbauer, Mrs. Sherwood Snyder,
Mrs. Clarence Rohrer.
They wil call on residents between
Thursday moming and - Saturday
morning.
"The Christmas seals, as holiday
tokens, are attractive in themselves,
but their special claim as symbols of
the season is found in the work they
do in battling disease," said Mrs. R.
C. Willigmann to a writer for The Sun
today. "Upon their sale depends in a
large measure the effectiveness of the
efforts to stamp out tuberculosis in the
county."
In the windows of'the M.'O'Neil
company's great store in Akron is a
real "once upon a time" Christmas
show. All the people of Storybook-
land have come to life and are there
doing their stuff, for the boys and girls
to see. Old King Cole calls for his
fiddlers, ancl up they come.
The old woman who lives in a shoe
spanks one of her children and the
others peek out of the shoe windows
wondering who will be spanked next.
The window is crammed full of toys,
but that's only the beginning.' Inside
the store is real fairyland, placed
there by Santa Claus himself. He bus
built an enchanted forest at the end
of Make-Believe hall.
When children visit it they must
walk right past the tall "fcaffitle where
the fairies, the king, a princess]and
heralds are, ancl keep on going past
the pig and clowns and—well—clo go
and take daddy and; mother along.
One of the fairies will see you there.
We almost forgot to tell vpu Santa
is there with u mode! of his workshop
with gnomes ancl the cold north pole
all glistening white. It is truly a wonderful exposition and it attracts and
holds both young, middle-aged and
old.
Several clays ago the attention of
The Sun was called to three young
men who are posing as agents for
"gas saving devices." Having more
than a passing knowledge of gas, both
natural and artificial, this writer for
The Sun recalled that one of the worst
explosions in the east a few weeks
ago was caused by one of these so-
called "saving devices," so he got in
touch with a high official of The East
Ohio Gas company ancl asked him if
his company endorsed these appliances.
"Absolutely no," said the official.
"The only place where the East Ohio
Gas company figures in this connection is that we are always willing to
answer any question concerning such
appliances, ami to correct the result
of installing them where they are
dangerous, if our customer will let
us know."
"You know that many of them are
dangerous,   and   that   trouble   often
arises from tbe improper attachment
of such a device," saicl The Sun writer.
People Take  Risks
"Yes, we know that, and we know,
too, that people take great risks when
they purchase these appliances from
peddlers.  As I said before, this com-
| pany   stands   ready   at   all   times   to
serve its customers.   Rest assured we
! are not endorsing several qf the ap-
; pliances on the market  foi- the sim-
I pic reason that we° do not regard with
i favor anything likely to cause an ex-
! plosion.   But we are willing to exam-
j ine any appliance brought to us and
j give an honest opinion regarding its
| worth as an attachment to the kitchen

Fire Chief's Opinion
When The Sun asked Chief Joseph
Smith of the North Canton Fire Department, what he ^bought pf. the so-
called r'gas savers" peddled i'rom if-Sqr
to door, he shrugged his shoulders.'
"Gas savers ' accomplish only u
slight increase in efficiency, if any at
all," he said. "They should be handled with great care, and an experienced gas man should pass upon
them before they are installed. Personally, I don't care for what few I've
seen, ancl if anything goes wrong
with them there's no telling what will
happen.
"If these things are the marvels the
agents say they are, doesn't it stand
to reason that a big concern like The
East Ohio Gas company would buy
the patents?" asked Chief Smith.
Beware the Christmas .Tree
The Chief continued: "While on the
subject of safety, let us keep in mind
the Christmas tree. Of course in this-
town the lighting is done with electric bulbs. It is wise to purchase bulbs
especially made for tree lighting. But
candles ancl cotton will not mix, and
in the outlying districts great care
should be used or fire will result. The
safest way is to use no candles."
BAZAAR AND SUPPER
In  Community  Christian  Church  On
Thursday  Night,  Dec.  13.
The next meeting of The Woman's
club on Monday evening, Dec. 17, will
be held in the Hoover Inn and take
the form of the Christmas party. Instead of the usual exchange of gifts
a novel idea comprising both a gift
and the lunch has been arranged.
Every member is asked to pack an
attractive box with a lunch. The box
will afterward serve as the gift.
Accompanied by stirring music the
party will form iii line for the grand
march. As the music subsides every
member will appropriate the box
nearest to her and each one will surely
enjoy eating the lunch prepared by
another.
The thrill of anticipation and the
enjoyment of this method of making
a gift arfd serving lunch is sure to
add to the general hilarity.
Members are asked to remember
that if they bring a guest "please be
sure and pack an extra lunch box."

WARNS CHILDREN
Crossing Main Street   Is  Dangcroii;,
Says Marshal Bachtel.
"The habit many children have
formed of running across Main street
near the Square is dangerous," saicl
Police Marshal Ray Bachtel to a
writer for The Sun.
"They should walk inside of the
lines marked off for pedestrians. I
hope parents will caution their children to stay away from the center of
the street. Several times this week
children have, hacl narrow escapes.
The school teachers and the police
