Told Without Varnish by Ben Long w WHII bre 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. bowlIgIcores N. C. Merchants League W.

P.-T. A. MEETING In Community Building On Thursday, April 2, at 7:30 p.m. The April meeting of the North Canton Parent-Teacher association will be held on Thursday evening, April 2, in the Community Building at 7:30. Dr. Mae White, of Canton, will address the members and all friends of education on the subject "Challenge of Social Hygiene to Parents and Teachers." Dr. White, well known to North Canton citizens, is well qualified to present this vital subject and should be given a generous welcome. All parents are cordially invited. 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 As The Sun Sees It Without Prejudice w "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. ATHLETES PREPARE FOR ANNUAL SHOW Boxing* and Wrestling* Will Be Among* Top Features Under the Direction of Willis Wood In Community Building On Wednesday Night, April 15. 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 Washington, D. C. ! 1934.

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. THEDEATH ROLL Daniel W. Bryer Word was received on Saturday of the death of Daniel W. Bryer, 78, u former resident of Hartville. He served as postmaster in Hartville for eight years. Mr. Bryer died in the home of his son, Jay, of Canton where he was visiting. He moved to Portage county and for the past four years had resided with his daughter, Mrs. C. A. Wertenberger in Ravenna. Sendees were held on Sunday afternoon in Middlebranch. Survivors are seven children, Dewey of Cuyahoga Falls, Forrest of Mon- tanna, Mrs. Bertha Shoemaker of Canton, John of Massillon, Mr.s.

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 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.
