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.

An Artistic "Dressup" One of the most artistic Christinas "dressups" it has been the pleasure - of this writer to see is in the windows ancl doorway of The Citizens' Building ancl Loan company right here in North Canton. The home office on the ' Square in Canton is also beautifully decorated. The decorating is not overdone and the simplicity of the whole affair gives tone to the windows. . - Of course the Schafer & Messerly Drug- Store is dressed for the holiday Season. The best in literature,.hundreds of articles for men, women ancl children, and My Lady's special toilet articles are here. The windows of this • lairge and classy store always attract the attention of the pedestrian. Clyde Schiltz", the jeweler, has a nifty display, and so has Percy Willaman's Toggery Shop.

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 ? LEVI A. STONER. North Canton, Dec. 1, 1928. MRS. LEOMKD ILL Sister of Mrs. Jones Reported To Be In Serious Condition^ DISCUSS PROBLEMS Delegates From Zion Reformed Church Attend Sessions In Paris and Hear Suggestions Offered of Value To Sunday- school, Christian Endeavor. 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- [Continued on back page] FUNEMLTODAY Mrs. Hardin Coleman Laid To Rest In North Canton Cemetery.

Orchestra FIRST DEPOSITOR Secretary Williams of the Community Building In 1929 CI lib. 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. SANTA AT^NEIL'S Akron's Great Stare Loaded With Christmas Joy and Toys. BEWARE OF WITH "GAS JJ They Do Not Represent The East Ohio Gas Company and Purchasers of Their Wares May Find Themselves In An Explosion, Day or Night. 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." SECURE UNIFORMS | American l.egion Drum and Bugle j Corps Nifty .Looking Bunch. | CHRISTMAS SEALS Committee Appointed To Boost the Sales In This District. THE CITIZENS CLUB Many Wanted To Be First, Including Charles B. Williams. Mrs. J. L. Leonard, sister of Mrs. Jones of Edgewood street,. and formerly a resident of North Canton, during the time her husband'- was ticket agent in the N. O. P. and L. 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. o 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 I 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 SCHOOL BASKETBALL OPENS HERE FRIDAY North Canton High Tossers Will Face Two Teams Representing Louisville In Practice Tryouts On the Community Building Floor Starting At 7:30. LEAGUE GAMES ON DEC. 14 range or other Stoves." 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."

Mr. and.Mrs. John Moye of Donner road are very proud of being^grandparents. 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 have warned the children. Perhaps a word from parents may keep the youngsters out of danger. Let's hope | so, anyway," said the marshal'. j commImtTchorus I First Rehear'asI Tonight (Wednesday) In Hoover Cafeteria. The first rehearsal for the Community Chorus is scheduled for Wednesday (tonight) Dec. 6, at 7:30 in the Hoover cafeteria. If there should be same singers who have not been notified, the committee takes this opportunity to announce the gates are wide open to all that are interested in music. The music is not dofficult, and several good practices will put the cantata over. Remember, tonight is the starting point. Let's get going at on-de! o .

None of the teams have had much time for practice, so the games will not have the flavor the fans can expect in two weeks more of practice, but will give the teams a chance to get ready for the league opener a week later with Greentown. The first game will start at 7:30. League Schedule The schedule as now arranged is given below. December 7, Louisville—Home (practice game). December 14, Greentown—Home. December 21, N.

There are to be a number of articles on sale, both useful ancl ornamental, which are particularly suitable for Christmas gifts. A fine supper will be served from 5:30. Prices: Adults, 50 cents; children, 25c. Everybody assured of a good time, ancl everybody welcome. M. F. SELL A VISITOR Former Resident Is On His Way To Minneapolis, Minnesota. E. II.

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.

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.

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 ? LEVI A. STONER. North Canton, Dec. 1, 1928. MRS.

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.

Orchestra FIRST DEPOSITOR Secretary Williams of the Community Building In 1929 CI lib. 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. SANTA AT^NEIL'S Akron's Great Stare Loaded With Christmas Joy and Toys. BEWARE OF WITH "GAS JJ They Do Not Represent The East Ohio Gas Company and Purchasers of Their Wares May Find Themselves In An Explosion, Day or Night. 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."

"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. o 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 I 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 SCHOOL BASKETBALL OPENS HERE FRIDAY North Canton High Tossers Will Face Two Teams Representing Louisville In Practice Tryouts On the Community Building Floor Starting At 7:30. LEAGUE GAMES ON DEC. 14 range or other Stoves." 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."

"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 have warned the children. Perhaps a word from parents may keep the youngsters out of danger. Let's hope | so, anyway," said the marshal'. j commImtTchorus I First Rehear'asI Tonight (Wednesday) In Hoover Cafeteria.
