NEW DEAL TALK Felix Hinkel Starts Round Table Discussion After Address. Felix Hinkle, editor and publisher of thc Canton Kconomist, addressed the men's class of Zion Reformed church on Friday evening, May 18. Mr. Hinkle discussed the Xew Deal, and at his request, a round table discussion followed. Judging from the comment, the National Recovery Administration act has a number of followers in North Canton; at'the same time it was apparent that the question as a whole is a confusing one in the minds of many persons. At Baseball Game Kenneth Oberlin, Mrs. Ray Oberlin, Mrs. K, !•;. Clouser, Mrs". Oliver Horton, Mrs. E. E. Stabler, motored to Cleveland on Friday to attend the baseball game. WE DO OUR PART The Sun Is a Member of the National Editorial Association Told Without Varnish Bet On Yourself By BEN LONG This is the "give advice season," as every college graduate, high school diploma winner and eighth grader knows. Much of the advice is sound —no pun intended—and if the graduate follows it he may kick up a little i dust as he jogs along the road called Life. Just lo be in fashion, I am going to give a little advice to the graduates It won't disturb me in the slightest if they pay no attention to my sugges tions. So here goes: Out in the place called Life you wil be handed more vinegar than sugar more blows than kisses; more bawl- ingsout than praise; more sneers than smiles. So Bet On Yourself. And keep in mind thc old Chinese proverb, "There's nothing certain but uncertainty." XXX Start right now to bet on yourself. Play yourself as the winner—not someone else, not a horse, not a baseball team, not a gold mine stock. All such speculations are subject to the manipulations of some one else. This is the age of the man who bets en himself, and who cashes in on his bets at thc proper time. Of course, the efforts or plans or schemes of one's own self may fail. Put one usually knows long in advance what the trend is. If the outcome is unfavorable—well, all the efforts of human beings, have an element of uncertainty. XXX I! you bet on yourself you will take stock of yourself as you go along. Developing what is called the "big head" has spoiled the chances of many a promising youngster. Keep your muscles hard and your blood red. Keep your morals clean, and when Opportunity knocks at your door with tbe offer of a promotion you won't be dozing. Rose-tinted dreams are all right at times, but too much dreaming is bad for the pocketbook. Action; accuracy, pluck and the determination to work up will eventually land you a winner. If you are a winner; if you believe the boss is giving you a raw deal, and if you listen to wise-cracking, shiftless pals, then don't bet on yourself, because you will lose. But if you can take it on the chin with a smile and bore in for more punches you will find an opening and then comes thc delivery of your wallop—and success. X X X Bel on yourself, young man, if you have the heart of a lion, and while the sluggards may grin and offer 100 to 1 that you can not win, you will pound down thc track a stakehorse with the occupants of the grandstand roaring their approval. Such is life. Good luck to you! Doesn't Sound Reasonable Former Postmaster W. J. Evans sends the following clipping to The Sun: "Edgar turned a b o u t quickly, dropped on his knees at the feet of Helen, who remained standing, and gently took her face between his hands."—Extract from a current magazine story and asks: "Did you ever know a guy with a reach like that?" Answer—To be perfectly frank, we never did. It doesn't sound reasonable. While reluctant to question Edgar's veracity we would have to see how he performed this amazing feat <^i hands and arms. Our weak, tottering credulity has had so many jokes played on it lately that it has become suspicious of everybody. TAKE NO RISK, SAYS FIRE CHIEF JOE SMITH He Sees a Terrible Lesson In the Chicago Conflagration and Urges People To Be Careful When Discarding Lighted Matches and Cigarettes. GIVES SENSIBLE ADVICE Joe Smith, chief of the North Canton Fire Department, sees a terrible lesson in thc great Chicago (ire. "A lighted cigarette or a match carelessly thrown aside lands on a bale of hay at noon on Saturday and before noon on Sundav properly damage estimated at $10,000,0(1(1; a human life lost, thousands of live stock burned lo death; 50 firemen injured, and hundreds of persons made homeless—all bacausc some one was careless," said the Chief to a writer for Tbe Sun. "Many times during the day or night as I walk around town I marvel that we escape fires when I sec men, and girls, too, toss a half-smoked cigarette to the floor of a store or on the sidewalk. Chicago's great fire of 1.S71 is commonly attributed lo the kicking over of a lantern in a stable by Mrs. O'Leary's cow. One can excuse a cow, but a human being is supposed to have some intelligence, although there are times when 1 doubt it when 1 see men pouring gasoline into an auto while puffing on a cigar or cigarette. "No one can be too careful, and being sorry for carelessness after a fire doesn't bring back life or property. Terrible though the fire was in Chicago I hope it will make people think twice before they throw _ a burning match away," said the Chief. C.W.A. PAY CHECKS Are Awaiting Employes In Canton, At E. O. Gas Building. The Relief Administration of Canton desires to announce that checks are now ready to be given out to all former C. \V. A. employes who were employed as skilled workmen. These checks cover the difference between the rates that went into effect March 2, 1934, and the present rates that were approved by the Stark County Wage Committee and which were effective as of April 1, 1934. The period covered by these adjustments checks are as of the above dates. Due lo the large number of checks to be delivered it is desirable, in order that everyone may receive his check, that no claim for adjustment be made at the time check is received, but such claim may be made at E. R. A. headquarters, 207 East Ohio Gas Building. Canton. Regardless of the type of work that may have been performed, unless the identification card calls for such proper skilled classification, it will he impossible to effect an adjustment on any former C. \V. A. projects. Slander On Decency A SUN EDITORIAL Sometime during- the night a handbill was placed on the doorsteps of every house in North Canton. It was signed "Keep Our Town Clean" and "Wo Intend Too." The handbill is a libel on Mayor Evans of North Canton and Robert Foster of North- Canton, -and also Assistant Prosecutor A. A. Barthelmeh and Judge Ake. Unfortunately there is no way to ascertain the author of this despicable handbill. Had we a lav making it mandatory to place tho name of the printing establishment on the end of a circular the culprit or culprits would be exposed—and arrested—in short order. North Canton is a clean town and our people intend to keep it that way, so there is no occasion to besmirch its fair name hy slandering upright citizens. If it is necessary to take drastic measures, that can he done, too. As The Sun Sees If Without Prejudice Their One Day May 30, .Memorial day, is next Wednesday, when everyone in The Sun's territory will pay loving tribute | , to those heroes of the Civil War who - ' have passed on to a happier and more peacefui world. For years following our unhappy civil strife it was thc nation's defenders who fought in that war who were brought to thc fore on Memorial Day. Theirs was thc honor, the glory, and the sadness. position of plain defaulters. Yes, we Know there are some persons in favor of "forgetting the debts," but a debt is a debt, and The Sun has for a nation cheap and j low enough to forget its honest obligations when it has the cash to pay them.

LETTERS TO THE SUN Judge Harter, Sr., Editors of The Sun: I particularly liked Ben Long's size-up' of Judge Henry W. Harter, Sr., in' his "Told Without Varnish" column. The Judge is a very lovable character and is worthy of all the attention that can be bestowed upon him in his later years. There is no liner type of a gentleman in our whole county. Very truly yours, WILLIAM R. THOM. Representative i district Ohio, May Cougres 1934. 10th POPPY DAY SALES $122.22 Realized On Expenditure $27 For Patriot's Flower. Tbe chairman of Poppy day. Mrs. C. E. Duff, reports that the sale of poppies amounted to $122.22 with an expenditdre of $27 for the poppies. She has asked The Sun to make plain to the public that the $27 paid for the poppies, go back directly to the men who made tbe little flowers, and the entire balance is used for general hospital work. Not a penny to an\ worker. Mrs. Duff and her co-workers wish to thank the public for their generous response.

Thc word "Memorial" did not appear in the proclamation of General John A. Logan who, as commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, isstied the first proclamation for the observance ' of the day in honor of the dead heroes of the War lo Preserve the Union. That was just do years ago this spring. it was nol until some years later that the change was made from Decoration day to Memorial day in the formal proclamation. The public, having gotten accustomed to saying Decoration day, were so slow to adopt the new name for thc holiday that you will bear about as many persons using one phrase as there arc using the other, even today.

Civil War veterans are becoming pitifully thin, there are veterans of later wars to stand by their sides as flowers are laid upon tbe graves where mortal remains rest in peace. Regardless of thc calumny broadcasted by the National Economy league al the expense of all veterans, there is one day in the year when the American people remember those who place patriotism above the value of tbe dollar. One day out of three hundred and sixty-five! It's Their Way Since the World War European nations have spent six billions of dollars in getting ready for the next "picnic," which is due to break when somebody says "boo." If those six billions had been devoted toward paying this country the ten billions they owe us there would be less machinery for killing and maiming human beings, and the nations would not be in the unenviable BASEBALL FANS WILL DRIVE TO CLEVELAND Saturday, Sunday and Monday To See Harold Warstler of North Canton Put Up a Brand of Classy Ball When Connie's Athletics Play the Indians. ENTHUSIASM RUNS HIGH Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Mav 26, 27 and 28, will be known as "Staric County=Warstler Day" at the Cleveland Indians baseball park in the big town by the hike. And all this in honor of a North Canton lad, Harold Warstler, who is playing brilliant baseball al short for Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics of the American League. "tilling (o the game?" is the one big question in Tbe Sun's territory these days. And the answer is "llelcha life I'm going." On To Cleveland A large delegation will leave Canton, North Canton and other points on Saturday for thc opening game be- j tween Cleveland and the Philadelphia Athlciics. Sunday tbe rooters will become an army, and "< bl to Cleveland!" will be the battle cry. Since leaving the Moslem Americans, the "Rabbit," as Warstler is called by j tbe fans, lias been dishing up thrills j daily at short or second base and his : batting has improved under the watchful eye vi the veteran Connie to such an extent that his fellow-townsmen in | North Canton expect him to clout the hall good and bard while they are in tbe stands on Saturdav, Sr.ndav and ciiuav.

And that's the way it goes, from morning till night. Once there was a time when we had a mind of our own and could form reasonably sensible conclusions. Put now we are so befuddled we don't know whether we even have a mind or not. There is only one thing of which we are in any way certain. This is a da}' when no two people think alike. A Lesson In Courtesy It happened in North Canton yesterday. A little schoolboy met us on the street and courteously took off bis hat to us. We should have been just as polite, but the all- absorbing problem of bread and butter was resting heavily on our mind and we neglected a golden opportunity in courtesy. Now we are wondering what the little fellow thinks of us. MEMORIAL SERVICES FOR OUR DEFENDERS Exercises Will Be Held In the Community Christian Church On Sunday Evening At 7:.'S0— The Rev. M. A.

I Rather, we want (o honor those who answered iheir country's call in time of her need, who submitted to bard- ships, and made sacrifices ol various kinds because they fell that their, country's welfare demanded it.

The girls appeared on the program about 2:011 o'clock and competed with lour other schools in their group. Since Ibis was a festival and not a contest, places were not given to the entrants. However, the various entrants were ranked according to their presentation and the girls were given third place in this ranking with a grade of "Good." 'The program was not completed until after 6:.?(). Since they came early on thc program they bad an opportunity to listen to the remainder of the program and enjoy il. The group then visited the capitol building and the state office building at Columbus. Many of them enjoyed thc special privilege of visiting the governor's rooms at the capitol building. This was the first trip to Columbus for quite a number of these people. The interest in these festivals certainly shows the type of work that is being done in the N. C. schools. It also shows that the foundation is laid in the grade school, not only for girls, but boys as well. With as much leisure time as we will probably have on our hands in the future appreciation of good music is assured.

Bet On Yourself
By BEN LONG
This is the "give advice season,"
as every college graduate, high school
diploma winner and eighth grader
knows. Much of the advice is sound
—no pun intended—and if the graduate follows it he may kick up a little i dust as he jogs along the road
called Life.
Just lo be in fashion, I am going
to give a little advice to the graduates
It won't disturb me in the slightest if
they pay no attention to my sugges
tions. So here goes:
Out in the place called Life you wil
be handed more vinegar than sugar
more blows than kisses; more bawl-
ingsout than praise; more sneers than
smiles.
So Bet On Yourself. And keep in
mind thc old Chinese proverb,
"There's nothing certain but uncertainty."
XXX
Start right now to bet on yourself.
Play yourself as the winner—not
someone else, not a horse, not a baseball team, not a gold mine stock. All
such speculations are subject to the
manipulations of some one else. This
is the age of the man who bets en
himself, and who cashes in on his bets
at thc proper time.
Of course, the efforts or plans or
schemes of one's own self may fail.
Put one usually knows long in advance what the trend is. If the outcome is unfavorable—well, all the efforts of human beings, have an element of uncertainty.
XXX
I! you bet on yourself you will take
stock of yourself as you go along. Developing what is called the "big head"
has spoiled the chances of many a
promising youngster.
Keep your muscles hard and your
blood red. Keep your morals clean,
and when Opportunity knocks at your
door with tbe offer of a promotion
you won't be dozing.
Rose-tinted dreams are all right at
times, but too much dreaming is bad
for the pocketbook. Action; accuracy, pluck and the determination to
work up will eventually land you a
winner.
If you are a winner; if you believe
the boss is giving you a raw deal,
and if you listen to wise-cracking,
shiftless pals, then don't bet on yourself, because you will lose.
But if you can take it on the chin
with a smile and bore in for more
punches you will find an opening and
then comes thc delivery of your wallop—and success.
X X X
Bel on yourself, young man, if you
have the heart of a lion, and while the
sluggards may grin and offer 100 to 1
that you can not win, you will pound
down thc track a stakehorse with the
occupants of the grandstand roaring
their approval.
Such is life. Good luck to you!
Doesn't Sound Reasonable
Former Postmaster W. J. Evans
sends the following clipping to The
Sun:
"Edgar turned a b o u t quickly,
dropped on his knees at the feet of
Helen, who remained standing, and
gently took her face between his
hands."—Extract from a current magazine story and asks: "Did you ever
know a guy with a reach like that?"
Answer—To be perfectly frank, we
never did. It doesn't sound reasonable. While reluctant to question
Edgar's veracity we would have to see
how he performed this amazing feat
<^i hands and arms. Our weak, tottering credulity has had so many jokes
played on it lately that it has become
suspicious of everybody.
TAKE NO RISK, SAYS
FIRE CHIEF JOE SMITH
He Sees a Terrible Lesson In the
Chicago Conflagration and
Urges People To Be Careful
When Discarding Lighted
Matches and Cigarettes.
GIVES SENSIBLE ADVICE
Joe Smith, chief of the North Canton Fire Department, sees a terrible
lesson in thc great Chicago (ire. "A
lighted cigarette or a match carelessly thrown aside lands on a bale of
hay at noon on Saturday and before
noon on Sundav properly damage estimated at $10,000,0(1(1; a human life
lost, thousands of live stock burned
lo death; 50 firemen injured, and hundreds of persons made homeless—all
bacausc some one was careless," said
the Chief to a writer for Tbe Sun.
"Many times during the day or night
as I walk around town I marvel that
we escape fires when I sec men, and
girls, too, toss a half-smoked cigarette to the floor of a store or on the
sidewalk. Chicago's great fire of 1.S71
is commonly attributed lo the kicking over of a lantern in a stable by
Mrs. O'Leary's cow. One can excuse a cow, but a human being is
supposed to have some intelligence,
although there are times when 1 doubt
it when 1 see men pouring gasoline into an auto while puffing on a
cigar or cigarette.
"No one can be too careful, and
being sorry for carelessness after a
fire doesn't bring back life or property.
Terrible though the fire was in Chicago I hope it will make people think
twice before they throw _ a burning
match away," said the Chief.

Slander On Decency
A SUN EDITORIAL
Sometime during- the night a handbill was placed on the doorsteps of
every house in North Canton. It
was signed "Keep Our Town Clean"
and "Wo Intend Too."
The handbill is a libel on Mayor
Evans of North Canton and Robert
Foster of North- Canton, -and also
Assistant Prosecutor A. A. Barthelmeh and Judge Ake.
Unfortunately there is no way to
ascertain the author of this despicable handbill. Had we a lav making
it mandatory to place tho name of
the printing establishment on the end
of a circular the culprit or culprits
would be exposed—and arrested—in
short order.
North Canton is a clean town and
our people intend to keep it that
way, so there is no occasion to besmirch its fair name hy slandering
upright citizens. If it is necessary to
take drastic measures, that can he
done, too.

Judge Harter, Sr.,
Editors of The Sun: I particularly
liked Ben Long's size-up' of Judge

Day of Our Dead
A reader of The Sun asks: "Is it
Decoration day or Memorial day?"
Answer—There is precedent for
both usages. Thc word "Memorial"
did not appear in the proclamation of
General John A. Logan who, as commander-in-chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic, isstied the first proclamation for the observance ' of the
day in honor of the dead heroes of
the War lo Preserve the Union.
That was just do years ago this
spring.
it was nol until some years later
that the change was made from Decoration day to Memorial day in the
formal proclamation.
The public, having gotten accustomed to saying Decoration day, were
so slow to adopt the new name for
thc holiday that you will bear about
as many persons using one phrase as
there arc using the other, even today.
