They must pass twelve tests before passing to a higher rank. This cannot be done ih a day, They will receive due recognition when the twelve tests are behind them and they are ready to advance to a higher rank.

Sadie Richards, Chairman Miss Sadie Richards is chairman of the committee ancl rehearsals have been going on every clay for some time. Proceeds For Unemployed The proceeds of the evening are for a fund for any unemployed or less fortunate ancl will be used at the discretion of a committee appointed for that purpose.

On Fifth street there is an outside entrance to his shop. He will keep his place of business open every evening. rubbing their chins and waiting for the next move. What to do with Gandhi is the great problem. As Dr. Casselman ably pointed out on Sunday night, "you cannot hold 300 million Hindus down with bayonets and you cannot stop Gandhi with battleships." Of course he offered 'no solution of the trouble |, over .there. . The ablest-men in the world are unable to solve the problem, and they have devoted years to that overshadowing issue. ■ t I ' Z ■ "., WHILE the native states, governed by the Indian princes and comprising a third of India stood out, the pacification of .British India was infinitely difficult. But with the princes coming in, the. way-seemed clear to an All-India solution on federal lines. Then Gandhi cut the rope. Will the majority of the people of India fare better under their own rulers than under British rule? Is that country headed, toward its' own ruin and the ruin of Great Britain? Will the princes ever permit Gandhi to take the upper hand in the event that England fails? ttt Rohr,' Margaret Myers, Helen Rubright, Betty Fohl, Dorothy -Warstler.

Good roads, radios, movies ancl particularly the progressive local papers have brought to it a new day. On the! other hand, unfortunately, there lias been developed in our cities a new type of citizen painfully more dense than the much maligned "hayseed" was ever played up to be. He has been properly termed the "metropolitan backwoodsman." He is a metropolitan complex. His knowledge, his experience in life, all his horizons are limited to the narrow street of the city in which he dwells. The rural resident on his part, by reason of his new contacts with the outside world, has shaken off most of the ideas and views invited by his ! former isolation and is now in many respects, more worldly wise and better informed than is his city cousin. And the community newspaper has been largely instrumental in bringing this about. been men of faith in spiritual ideals, which is another way of saying men of prayer. Not all the monarchs, statesmen and leaders of armies put together have made as much difference to human history as Jesus of Nazareth. Spiritual forces are even stronger than material in the long run, and the men Who know how to wield them are the men who believe themselves to be the instruments of a Power far greater and wiser than themselves. To this class belongs Gandhi. o "It is a sign of intelligence to be seen reading The Sun." Campbell memorial-of Youngstown. This ■ forenstic effort by Jackson township high school students has created a wide interest in the community. Each debate was attended with a good sized- audience. We feel that debate has been given a good try-out at our school this year. In the future a permanent place will bej given to public speaking and debate in the schedule of school activities. | Haak & Kolp C«s. j acted as hostsjAND Dft&Wtf J fill fIVES to 225 persons—among them a number of ladies—from all parts of Stark county on Thursday night in their large garage on West Maple street.

Gilson, sales manager; C. H. Thompson and C; Ham of Columbus- were on hand to assist in making the Fordson Tractor demonstration and home-coming a real bang- up affair. That they succeeded, and succeeded well, will not be denied. Farmers Interested Arthur Kolp, wearing a smile so broad that it could not bo photographed, acted as master of ceremonies, and his two partners, Leo Kolp and George Haak, proved able assistants.

Official Uniforms Prices have been secured on the official American Legion uniform ancl plans to purchase uniforms for the firing squad will be discussed at the nt xt meeting. It has been the desire nf many that these uniforms be purchased soon so that the firing squad will be outfitted . for the Decoration day services.

It does not necessitate the prompt payment of compensation but gives the ex-service man that option. For those who do not need the money or can get along without it, the payment should not be sought. Buts there are many who in dire need would find such payment a great help now. So ex-service man, your Legion membership will help more than mere talking. Join now! Ex-service men are again urged to see Howard Warburton if they have not filed for compensation. Volleyball Team A volleyball team will be formed soon and those interested should see Commander Curry.

Horace Smith Moves From South
Main To 210 Fifth St.
On page four of The Sun today,
Horace Smith announces that he has
removed his barber shop from 133
South Main street to 210 Fifth street,
North Canton, and that he will be
pleased to .see his customers there.
On Fifth street there is an outside
entrance to his shop. He will keep
his place of business open every evening.

the next move.
What to do with Gandhi is the great
problem. As Dr. Casselman ably
pointed out on Sunday night, "you
cannot hold 300 million Hindus down
with bayonets and you cannot stop
Gandhi with battleships." Of course
he offered 'no solution of the trouble
|, over .there. . The ablest-men in the
world are unable to solve the problem, and they have devoted years to
that overshadowing issue.

WHILE the native states, governed
by the Indian princes and comprising a third of India stood
out, the pacification of .British India
was infinitely difficult. But with the
princes coming in, the. way-seemed
clear to an All-India solution on federal lines.
Then Gandhi cut the rope. Will the
majority of the people of India fare
better under their own rulers than under British rule? Is that country
headed, toward its' own ruin and the
ruin of Great Britain? Will the
princes ever permit Gandhi to take
the upper hand in the event that England fails?

LEGION AUXILIARY IS
INVITING THE PUBLIC
The country is no longer "hick."
Good roads, radios, movies ancl particularly the progressive local papers
have brought to it a new day. On the!
other hand, unfortunately, there lias
been developed in our cities a new
type of citizen painfully more dense
than the much maligned "hayseed"
was ever played up to be. He has
been properly termed the "metropolitan backwoodsman." He is a metropolitan complex. His knowledge, his
experience in life, all his horizons are
limited to the narrow street of the
city in which he dwells.
The rural resident on his part, by
reason of his new contacts with the
outside world, has shaken off most of
the ideas and views invited by his
! former isolation and is now in many
respects, more worldly wise and better informed than is his city cousin.
And the community newspaper has
been largely instrumental in bringing this about.
been men of faith in spiritual ideals,
which is another way of saying men
of prayer.
Not all the monarchs, statesmen
and leaders of armies put together
have made as much difference to human history as Jesus of Nazareth.
Spiritual forces are even stronger
than material in the long run, and the
men Who know how to wield them
are the men who believe themselves
to be the instruments of a Power far
greater and wiser than themselves.
To this class belongs Gandhi.

This ■ forenstic effort by Jackson
township high school students has
created a wide interest in the community. Each debate was attended
with a good sized- audience. We feel
that debate has been given a good
try-out at our school this year. In
the future a permanent place will bej
given to public speaking and debate
in the schedule of school activities. |

Telling of the Activities of North Canton American Legion Post No. 419 and of the Legion Auxiliary
'■■-," Meeting Tonight
The next regular meeting of the
American Legion will be held Wednesday, February 4. Plans for the Past
Commander's night will be completed.
This meeting is, the one night of the!
year when the Post pays just homage
to those who have led the local Post
to its present standard.
Official Uniforms
Prices have been secured on the official American Legion uniform ancl
plans to purchase uniforms for the
firing squad will be discussed at the
nt xt meeting. It has been the desire
nf many that these uniforms be purchased soon so that the firing squad
will be outfitted . for the Decoration
day services.
Getting Men Work
Any ex-service men out of work are
uiged to get in touch with Jack Stover. The American Legion has helped
many to secure work ! and Post 419
.wants to carry its share of this service.
Compensation
"In union there is strength." All
tain prompt payment of compensation can exert their influence best by
joining the Legion. More members
will increase the influence of the organization and thereby Help in the
passage of the bill.. There has been
some misunderstanding about this
bill.
It does not necessitate the prompt
payment of compensation but gives
the ex-service man that option. For
those who do not need the money or
can get along without it, the payment
should not be sought. Buts there are
many who in dire need would find
such payment a great help now. So
ex-service man, your Legion membership will help more than mere talking. Join now!
Ex-service men are again urged to
see Howard Warburton if they have
not filed for compensation.
Volleyball Team
A volleyball team will be formed
soon and those interested should see

The Drum Corps is in need of some
more members. Any ex-service '"man
who would like to help a good cause
ancl get more in return should get in
touch with Dan Rousch. There is
plenty of hard work preparing for
the summer but those who have been
in the Drum Corps for any length of
time say they aro well repaid for
their work by the fun and pleasure
secured in competition.
Emergency Relief
The formation of an emergency rer
lief fund will be discussed at the next
meeting. The need of this is apparent but how such a fund should be
formed and ministered needs careful
planning.
Party In Louisville
