A Suggestion To Mayor
Seccombe of Canton
AYOR JAMES SECCOMBE and
members of his traffic squad
deserve much credit for giving
the pedestrian a chance for his (or
her) life in Canton. Having dodged
cars in that town for several years,
it is pleasing to read that "Genial
Jimmy" and his policemen are determined to put an end to the red light
cutter. In Akron, by the way, auto
drivers pay little or no attention to
red lights, on the ground, probably,
when youngsters their fathers advised
them to rush past them when they
adorned a door.
As everyone with an ounce of intelligence knows, police are powerless
unless the Courts co-operate with
them. Frequently * Courts are too
lenient, with the result that offenders
leave the courtroom ■"thumbing their
noses" at the police.
In Canton the average driver obeys
the air signal to go or stop; but that
city, after the manner of other cities,
large and small, contains an element,
not really vicious at heart, but somewhat insolent when it comes to obeying ordinances. That Mayor Seccombe
will tame such characters is not to be
doubted. His Honor may be small in
stature, but no one ever questioned
his pluck. When he honestly believes
he is right he has the "guts" to fight
to a finisli, and even those who disagree with him at times are willing
to acknowledge that he is a square
and above-board fighter.
t t t
HILE <on the subject of ordinance
eakers and red light runners
("that's tautology,1' growls the
purist, "isn't an ordinance breaker a
red light cutter?") let's refer to that
small remnant .oi humanity wTio do
not possess fears, but rely fearfully
upon their death-defying offspring for
occasional .transportation in them,
thanking their stars when they find
themselves agaiin with their feet in
close contact witb mother earth. This
small remnant rejoices when a motor
show has gone by.
True, I do not know the date when
Mayor Seccombe will officially invite
the world to Canton to see the various
makes of cars on display, but the previous show made me think I was in
a world as strange and frightful as
any of those imagined in the romances
of H. G. Wells, for the automobile
vaunts its power over the puny in-
<efficiency of mortal bone and sinew
■and reduces humanity to the abject
inferiority of crawling caterpillars.
t t t
TN THE old, old days, when Weston
1 was in his prime (long before
"Genial Jim" was Canton's official
greeter) and there were six-day walking matches and crack-brained mechanics were exciting the world to
laughter with their attempts to make
a velocipede that would go, man
stalked the earth with all the pride of
Adam and Goliath and Ajax before
him. The pedestrian held his head
ih'igh. But his race has departed. Most
of the pedestrians we see today are
so only intermittently, twiddling
along from car to office or house to
ear and back again.
So I am asking Mayor Seccombe
why not a pedestrian show? It would
be a great, thing for Canton, especially
if dedicated to maintain the rights and
glorifying the deeds of the man who
would rather walk than ride.
The chief attraction, of course,
would be the side-show in which,' upon
a dais, would be assembled a group
-of surviving pedestrians of a former
generation, whose superb, eye-filling
brawn of thigh and calf would contrast effectively with the hollow-
chested, emaciated aspect of the
chronic automobile driver, of whom a
few captive specimens should be carefully confined in a brightly-lighted
cage.
I It
AN eloquent spieler would. give an
hourly lecture before the cage,
stressing the wretched physical
condition of the motor-maniacs as
opposed to the robust health of the
Sandow-constitutional pedestrians.
The very novelty of such an exhibition should be a guaranty that it
would pay. The extra-resilient rubber
heels to enable a man afoot, caught
between contrary-moving streams of
traffic near the county courthouse, to
leap like a deer from space to space
between the imminent vehicles; knee
and shin guards, and other protective
accoutrement, if offered for sale,
would be eagerly sought by non-
pedestrians who, even with weazened
frames and disordered livers, are not
averse to living.
Merely a suggestion, Jim.
"ENCHANTED ISLE" IS
ENCHANTjNGLY GIVEN
Operetta In Two Acts With
Music Based On Themes of
Compositions By Chopin Are
Enthusiastically Received By
Public In Auditorium.
SCENERY      GETS      PRAISE
Congratulations to Miss Mary Jane
Whartenby, supervisor of music in
the North Cantor, schools; to stage
manager Owen Nelf, to James Surbey
for lighting effects, and to the members of the combined boys' and girls'
glee clubs for the able manner in
which they presented "Enchanted
Isle," an operetta in two acts, before
a crowded auditorium of pleased
people on Saturday night in the high
school on Charlotte street. The audience was not stingy with well deserved applause.
Operetta ln Two Acts
The music in the opera, as stated
in The Sun last week, is based on
themes of compositions by Frederick
Chopin. The pianist was Harriet Warburton and the string ensemble consisted of Myrtle Denton, first violin;
Jean Bratten, second; Phyllis Willaman, third; Donna Broeske, fourth.
Considering their ages, the playing
of these young girls was decidedly
high class.
Public  Pleased
Many persons in the audience were
heard to say while leaving the school
building that it was the best musical
production staged by the school in
many years, and The Sun sees no
reason why that opinion should not
stand. Beyond question the scenery
was beautiful and the lighting effects
perfect. The ship, the moon and other
views won instant recognition from
those in the auditorium.
Names Published Last Week
Last week The Sun carried the
names of the principal characters. To
select any one member of the cast
for "special mention" would be scarcely fair, especially as several of those
in the leading roles came close to the
100 per cent, mark and it was hard
to make a distinction.
"Lilting" is the word some theatrical critics use when describing
music and songs with a sway or swing
to them, and in this instance they
would be right. There was not a dull
moment in "Enchanted Isle" as produced on Saturday night. Again The
Sun offers congratulations to everyone connected with the production.

iashIgtoTletter
By WILLIAM R. THOM
Congressman From This District
Washington, D. C, April l—The
mule is the barometer of farm prosperity. When farm_ prices are up, the
farmer does not think anything about
the cost of the upkeep of his tractor.
When times however go bad, prices
are depressed and the surpluses begin to accumulate, the farmer puts
his tractor away to rust, and falls
back on his mule. When witnesses before the Senate Agriculture committee
gave testimony to this effect, urbane
and suave Senator McNary of Oregon
observed: "I am enough of a farmer
that I do not need any jackass education to know that."
But during tractor days, the mule
population went down so low and the
prices hit such rock bottom that the
breeders went out of business. Now
the Department of Agriculture is
asking a $15,000 appropriation to
establish a jack and janet nursery so
as to bring about improvement in the
production of mules. In 1933 the
average price of mules was $60.42 and
in 1936 it jumped to $120.42. For the
first time in 25 years jacks are being
imported from abroad.
Could Produce Emergency Rubber
Various rubber producing plants
may be grown in such quantity in this
country as to make possible emergency supplies of rubber in critical
periods according to a letter of Dr.
F. D. Richey, head of the Bureau of
Plant Industry, of the Department of
Agriculture, addressed to E. E. Failor,
of the American Rubber association,
of Alliance, Ohio. The latter^ body is
encouraging^ the propagation of rubber in tropical America. Richey says
little doubt remains that substantial
quantities of rubber eventually could
be produced from the Hevea tree in
all of the Central American countries,
including southern Mexico and the
West Indies, if a policy of active encouragement of such possibilities were
undertaken.
Dynamite In Relief Measures
While testimony was being taken
before a Senate committee on the
establishment of a western tree belt
to control winds and increase moisture in the plains country, Senator
Peter Norbeck of South Dakota discussed the political dynamite in relief
measures.
"I know how difficult it is to carry
on relief work in a hastily set up
organization. I remember when Mr.
Coolidge was President, he sent Mr.
Hoover down to Arkansas to handle
relief. The result was that Herbert
Hoover lost Arkansas when he ran
for President  (laughter)."
Senator Copeland: "Are they going
to send him to some other places
now?"
Senator Norbeck: "He lost Arkansas
because he had to decide whether a
man should have one mule or two
mules; and after he had gone away,
the neighbors decided that he had
made so many mistakes that he could
not be quite right."
This is a good dialogue, but
Arkansas being what it is — a
thoroughgoing Democratic state—it
is not likely that Hoover would have
carried it if he hadn't made an enemy
in the relief business. Applied to
another state with less definite political inclinations, the story would be
correct.
After Effects of Floods-
Much has appeared in the newspapers about the possible after effects
of the floods on the health of the
people. It seems probable, according
to Sec. Wallace of the Department
of Agriculture, that the drinking
water of animals may be polluted, and
there may be deposited on grasses of
the lowland pastures substances which
may lead either to certain types of
digestive or other diseases, parasitic
infection or, in a rew cases, to certain |
types of poisoning.   Veterinarians are

"Flaming Youth"
UCH is written in these days
about "flaming youth," and
several months ago The Sun complimented Dwight Harsh, boy's instructor in the North Canton Community
Building, for asserting before the
members of the. Rotary club that
"there is a flaming youth in which
the country may take pride. It is the
youth in whose breast burns the fire
of enthusiasm for the duties and
responsibilities of life in the great
world, a fire kindled by parental
affection  and  guidance."
He introduced several of "his boys"
that night and they convinced the
Rotarians that Harsh knew what he
was talking about.
It is highly desirable that the
existence of a great body of sturdy
and industrious youth, trained in
homely virtues and inspired by the
example of right living given them
in American homes, should not be
forgotten. In the midst of the distractions of this fevered age, the old-
fashioned American home still exists.
Its physical setting is far different
from that of the days when candles
or oil lamps supplemented the light
of the flames in the fireplace, but
twentieth century innovations, the
motor car, the radio, the moving pictures, and all the rest, have not been
sufficient to destroy it, scoffers and
pessimists to the contrary notwithstanding.
The gracious women who preside in
these homes of today participate in
diversions unknown to the women of
the homes of years long gone, but
the old-time standards of rectitude, the
old-time sane and wholesome outlook
of life persist.
The    young    and    old    who    have
REDUCING RATES
yielded to the blandishments of an
age of motor cars and jazz make so
much disturbance that the old-
fashioned homes may be forgotten,
until incidents and sentiments such as
those of which Harsh spoke throw
the picture into the true perspective.
Then the expression "flaming youth"
assumes a new significance.

SCHILTZ  AND MEN READY
Ohio   Power   Co.   Keeping   Promise
Made To the Public.
On January 16, 1936, The Ohio
Power Company announced the continuation of its progressive rate reduction which was initiated early in
1935. Under this program of rate
reduction, in anticipation of greater
use of the Company's service the first
block of energy taken in any month
by domestic customers has been reduced from a'A cents last June down
to 6 cents at the present time and
this plan of reducing the first'block
will continue. When the progressive
reduction is fully completed, the first
30 kilowatt hours will be charged for
at the rate of 5 cents per kilowatt
hour. This progressive reduction has
benefited all of the residential customers of the Company, and was of particular importance to the small customer taking less than 30 kilowatt
hours a month, for with the reduction
fully completed he will be paying 23
per cent less for his current than he
paid under the old rate.
Beginning today, the customer making fuller use of electric service receives a very material benefit, for the
rate made effective last January provided that on April 1st the third block
of 230 kilowatt hours in any month
would be reduced from 3 cents to 2!*-
cents and the excess over 300 kilowatt hours would be reduced from 2
cents to l',2 cents per kilowatt hour.
It is apparent, therefore, that all
residential customers of the Company,
regardless of their monthly consumptions, receive substantial benefits
under the new rates.
Commenting on this latest reduction, which became effective today,
A. G. Moser, division manager of
The Ohio Power Company, pointed out
that the rapid increase in the use of
major appliances has made this type
of promotional rate feasible
"Last year," said Mr. Moser, "in the
territory served by The Ohio Power
Company, we soli I over 4,000 electric-
ranges to our customers, which
brought the total ranges on our lines
up to 12,000. This means that ap
proximately 60,000 persons are enjoying the comfort, convenience and
economy of electric cookery, ln tlie
year 1935 electric refrigerator dealers
sold over 12,000 electric refrigerators
to our customers and our salesmen in
conjunction with electrical dealers
sold 1400 electric water heaters. While
the sales of electric water heaters
asked to" make reports along these. were not as great as the sale of
lines to Dr. John R. Mohler, chief of I ranges, we actually sold 2Vz times as
the Bureau of Animal Industry,1 many water healers in 1935 as in

Slipshod Education
BLUNDERS by college freshmen in
term or examination papers
furnish a never-ending source of
amusement. But ignorance revealed
by boys and girls supposed to be fit
for higher education has its depressing side and points to needed reforms in high school and college
curricula.
Girl students at two easteVn colleges
are reported recently to have disclosed
grotesque misconceptions of elementary facts in hygiene, sanitation and
natural science. College youths do no
better than  the girl students.
Student ignorance, if general, discloses poor and unsystematic teaching. Study courses are too scrappy
and too purposeless. To the credit of
the North Canton school, Jackson
township, McKinley high and other
schools The Sun could name students
are taught essential and important
things—science, civics, economics, the
humanities. But not all high schools
go that far, and  more's the pity.
The liberal high school should prepare students for college, and the
college should continue, not repeat the
work; of the high school. There should
be no break in education. And all
education should aim deliberately at
making intelligent, fair-minded and
responsible citizens.

"Come and See" Party
A party will be held in the Legion
home, 209 West Maple street on Friday, April 3, which has been named a
"Come and See" party. A lot of fun
is in store for all who attend. Numerous prizes will be awarded. The public
is invited.
Past Commanders' Night
The next regular Post meeting will
be held on Monday, April 6, at 8 p.m.
This meeting has been designated as
past commanders' night. Once each
year North Canton Post has a special
program to honor its past commanders. Other afTairs cause some of them
to be absent from the meetings, but
we are hoping that most of them may
be' able to attend the meeting on next
Monday night. A program has been
prepared that will be of interest and
enjoyment.
A Reminder
In the American Legion as in every
other organization, membership is a
vital factor. Nationally our force for
good as an organization is bound to
be measured by the standards set up
by our American Legion Posts and
the number of Legionnaires united in
our organization. Membership in the
American Legion is strictly limited
and is based on honorable and active
service during the World War.
Throughout the length and breadth
of this great land, there are only a
comparative few who can get into the
American Legion. Membership js an
honor and a privilege. Vou may well
be proud of your membership in the
American Legion, and you may also
be proud to extend an invitation to
a comrade to become a member. We
are all aware of the great opportunity
for service to others, and certainly
we are not so selfish that we would
want to let it pass without doing our
share. Think it over, you who are
eligible for membership.
• Our Legion Heme
Let's be more conscious ef our Legion home. A home which it is our
privilege to use at any time; If you
are married, get permission from the
wife to stop in occasionally and enjoy
a friendly chat with the comrades.
