Gift ot ]jrotherhood A wedding of interest to many persons in North Canton and its vicinity will take place this evening in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Willaman of Sixth street, when "their son Kenneth, who is a partner of his father, will be married to Miss Helen Ber- dine Rabel, daughter of, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Rabel of East Maple street extension. Kenneth and Miss Rabel have a wide circle of friends. The Rev. Melvin E. Beck, pastor of Zion Reformed church will perform the ceremony at 7:30 o'clock. Bridesmaid and Best Alan The bridal party will include Miss Esther Reiter of the Canton-Middle- branch road as bridesmaid and Robert Willaman, brother of the bridegroom, as best man. The wedding ceremony will take place in the home of the bridegroom, because of the illness of his mother, Mrs. Willaman, who is unable to leave her home. A Quiet Wedding Only members of the two families will be present as it is needful for Mrs. Willaman's comfort that there be no excitement. After the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Willaman will leave for a short trip. Upon their return they will reside in North Canton. There is a Santa Claus<—thanks to the members of the Nortli Cantoii Relief association. Out in the Somewhere this golden evening, in those homes where deserving men, women and children dwell, eyes are shining, lips are singing and families are happy—because of the Big Heart of tlie people of North Canton. No one will freeze or starve in this town this winter. Thank God, we as a town are able to take care of the few families needing assistance without calling for outside help. We do our duty, more than our duty, when suffering is brought to our attention. Facing the Music Many men and women in this town, for the first time in years, have been forced to practice economy, but they are not whimpering- about their hard luck. They are facing the issue squarely and at the same time contributing to tlie relief of others they believe are unable to help themselves. Fortunately there were not many persons in dire distress in North Canton and its vicinity, but the few that- needed assistance have been taken care of by the committee and the churches. World War Vets Several families of veterans of the World War were "up against it," but. the Legion and Legion Auxiliary rushed reinforcements to the front and "straightened the wavering- lines" before the danger became too acute. As a result there are smiles in certain homes today and you can't make the occupants believe "there ain't no Santa Claus." Food and Toys Baskets containing food and toys are being delivered in and about North Canton. So let the children have their dreams, their fairies, and their Santa Clauses. Life is tough enough without trying to wake the happy youngsters up to its grim reality. Let us share the mysteries and secrets of good old Saint Nicholas with them. We w'll fir.d rsuch joy .nnd. happiness in doing so. That is our reward. Once More It's Christmas It would be a dull old world were* it not for the merry prattle of the children. Somehow they give to Christmas the zest that must ever live with it for all of us. Their great delight in things bestowed; their noise and uproar with drum-.beat and trumpet; their joy of the day; at last their weariness and rest—all these things are typical of life as we live it.

pleasure to many. _ ! Gift ot ]jrotherhood
A wedding of interest to many persons in North Canton and its vicinity
will take place this evening in the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Willaman
of Sixth street, when "their son Kenneth, who is a partner of his father,
will be married to Miss Helen Ber-
dine Rabel, daughter of, Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Rabel of East Maple street
extension. Kenneth and Miss Rabel
have a wide circle of friends.
The Rev. Melvin E. Beck, pastor of
Zion Reformed church will perform
the ceremony at 7:30 o'clock.
Bridesmaid and Best Alan
The bridal party will include Miss
Esther Reiter of the Canton-Middle-
branch road as bridesmaid and Robert Willaman, brother of the bridegroom, as best man.
The wedding ceremony will take
place in the home of the bridegroom,
because of the illness of his mother,
Mrs. Willaman, who is unable to leave
her home.
A Quiet Wedding
Only members of the two families
will be present as it is needful for
Mrs. Willaman's comfort that there
be no excitement. After the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Willaman will
leave for a short trip. Upon their
return they will reside in North Canton.
There is a Santa Claus<—thanks to
the members of the Nortli Cantoii Relief association.
Out in the Somewhere this golden
evening, in those homes where deserving men, women and children
dwell, eyes are shining, lips are singing and families are happy—because
of the Big Heart of tlie people of
North Canton. No one will freeze or
starve in this town this winter.
Thank God, we as a town are able
to take care of the few families needing assistance without calling for outside help. We do our duty, more than
our duty, when suffering is brought
to our attention.
Facing the Music
Many men and women in this town,
for the first time in years, have been
forced to practice economy, but they
are not whimpering- about their hard
luck. They are facing the issue
squarely and at the same time contributing to tlie relief of others they
believe are unable to help themselves.
Fortunately there were not many
persons in dire distress in North Canton and its vicinity, but the few that-
needed assistance have been taken
care of by the committee and the
churches.
World War Vets
Several families of veterans of the
World War were "up against it," but.
the Legion and Legion Auxiliary rushed reinforcements to the front and
"straightened the wavering- lines" before the danger became too acute. As
a result there are smiles in certain
homes today and you can't make the
occupants believe "there ain't no Santa
Claus."
Food and Toys
Baskets containing food and toys
are being delivered in and about
North Canton. So let the children
have their dreams, their fairies, and
their Santa Clauses. Life is tough
enough without trying to wake the
happy youngsters up to its grim
reality.
Let us share the mysteries and secrets of good old Saint Nicholas with
them. We w'll fir.d rsuch joy .nnd.
happiness in doing so. That is our
reward.
Once More It's Christmas
It would be a dull old world were*
it not for the merry prattle of the
children. Somehow they give to Christmas the zest that must ever live with
it for all of us. Their great delight
in things bestowed; their noise and
uproar with drum-.beat and trumpet;
their joy of the day; at last their
weariness and rest—all these things
are typical of life as we live it.
