r ALL THE REAL NEWS AND SPECIAL FEATURES CAREFULLY EDITED READ BY BRIGHT PEOPLE IT SHINES FOR ALL THE PEOPLE IN NORTHERN STARK COUNTY READ BY BRIGHT PEOPLE An Independent Newspaper That Plays No Favorites Aniong Advertisers or Subscribers, and With One Price To AH VOL. 16—NO. 30. NORTH CANTON, STARK COUNTY, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 1938—EIGHT PAGES $1.00 PER YEAR. KNEW HIM WHEN HE WAS A BOY ON FARM Highland County Democratic Executive Committee Unanimously Praises H. G. Mosier, Congressman-at-Large, For Services To Ohio, and Backs Him For a Second Term. HAS HARD COMMON SENSE HAROLD G. MOSIER Congressman-at-Large From Ohio By BEN LONG There is an old saying to the effect that "A prophet is seldom recognized in his own community." On the other hand, when a boy is born in a certain town or county, reared in it, and then goes into the outside world and makes good in a big way people who knew him when he was a lad take pride in telling the public all about his early days. This by way of introducing evidence to show that Highland county has not forgotten the youngster it knew as Harold G. Mosier, a farm boy, who liked to visit Hillsboro, the county seat, when the circus came to town or the band played. Conservative County A conservative community is _ Hillsboro; a friendly town, a section of Ohio from whence many able men first inhaled the inspiration that in later years caused them to become distinguished in journalism, the law, medicine, and in the marts of trade. Population considered, Highland county has written its name in large, letters, not only in Ohio, but in all parts of the United States, and the letters have stood for integrity and service. Committee Endorses Mosier Recently the Highland County Democratic Executive committee, Kenneth Perneau of Highland, chairman, passed a resolution endorsing Congressman-at-Large Mosier for a second term, and praising him for the able manner in which he represents all the people of his native state at the National Capital. At the Mosier campaign headquarters, 1118 Fidelity building, Cleveland, George Winter reports that "Nominating petitions are being returned filled from all parts of Ohio." Recalls Early Days Although a distinguished member of the Ohio Bar, Harold G. Mosier has never for a moment forgotten his early days in Highland county when he milked cows, 'tended the stock, and did many of the chores on a farm. No doubt that is one reason he is always willing to battle in or out of Congress for the agriculturist. It must give him great satisfaction to know that the county in which he was born and reared is among the first to recognize his great range of activity on all public questions, his powers of reasoning, and his hard common sense. The great state of Ohio needs Harold G. Mosier and his kind of courage which faces issues and reaches firm decisions. The radiant kind, which drives out cowardice from minds which come within its range. . JACRS¥auFwiLL VISIT MINERVA To Be Guests of Democrats In Park On Friday Night. The members of the Jackson club of Stark county, an organization composed of many of the best known and substantial men in the county, will hold a meeting in Minerva park, Minerva, on Friday, May 27, at 7:30 p.m. The Democrats of Minerva will play hosts, so it is almost needless to add that the members of the Jackson club and their guests are in for an excellent time. Minerva park is an ideal spot to spend a few happy hours. E. J. Lattin, secretary of the Jackson club, notified The Sun yesterday (Tuesday) that transportation will be found for members unable to use their own cars. To secure the transportation it is necessary to be at the south door of the courthouse, Canton, at 0:30 p.m. on Friday. Members of the club having room for passengers will be expected to take an extra rider. H. C. SCHOOL HEWS N. C. High Wins Sportsmanship Trophy In Stark County Each year the Stark county Athletic association awards to a school in the county a sportsmanship trophy for the school that has shown the best sportsmanship at the county athletic games. Five patrons from each community and ten students from each school who have participated in athletic sports, cast a ballot for the school of their choice and each official of the games casts a ballot. Fifteen schools of the county participate in this. No one school gets all the votes. Every school in the county received some votes this year. This year North Canton received the highest ranking. Hartville and Middlebranch were close runners up. All opponents of any winner of this trophy deserve credit for their part in helping a school to win. PUPILS GET AWARDS FOR GOOD WORK Senior Class Was Outstanding This Year In Many Things. On Monday, May 23, at the high school assembly the various awards earned by the pupils during the year were presented. Among these were the letters for football and basketball, literary and debate, certificates from the county for participation in literary, debate and music were also given out. The various awards earned by pupils from the scholarship tests in the district and the state were presented. Also recognition was given to the pupil in the senior class who was the most outstanding in citizenship. This award went to Margaret Mohler with honorable mention to Harold Royer. A special award to the senior who had the most outstanding scholarship throughout the four years in high school was given to Mildred Sumser with honorable mention to Ruth Wagner.

Members of the Legion Auxiliary were out early this Wednesday morn ing selling the little red (lower made by disabled World War veterans in hospitals and other institutions where they take care of men unable to work in the outside world. If you were overlooked by accident, hunt up one of the patriotic young persons selling the poppy and buy one. The sum expended is small, but it will help bring some extra comfort to the man who gave the brow to the enemy when your country was in danger. CHINESE WILL FIGHT JAPAN WON'T PROFIT The Rev. Edwin A. Beck, Who Has Spent Many Years In the Far East As a Missionary Told Men In Zion Reformed Church Last Night That "Economic Strain Will Defeat Japanese." STILL A MIGHTY PEOPLE A first cousin of the Rev. Dr. Melvin E. Beck, the Rev. Edwin A. Beck, missionary to China, addressed the Brotherhood of Zion Reformed church at a fellowship supper on Tuesday, last night. He said in part: .We find folks are very human all the world over. Even those we fear and suspect we often leam when we know them more intimately. Chinese merchants build up splendid loyalties with their patrons, and some of our most valued associations are with merchants, bankers, and contractors who have served us. Anti-Foreign Boycott When anti-foreign prejudice swept over China in 1925 in consequence of the unfortunate "May 30th incident" and shops were closed in boycotts, our family grocer closed his shop, that is, the shop front was boarded up, but his messenger came to our house to inform us that "the back door was open" and as long as he had anything on his shelves it was at our disposal. China Is Advancing There later years, say six or seven, under the leadership of General Chiang and Madam Chiang, have seen wonderful progress in railroad extension, construction of motor roads, long distance telephone, air routes, currency reform, and new life movement. An unfriendly neighbor is now trying hard to smash this rising spirit of a mighty people. The probability is that the next few weeks will see a desperate effort to take the present capital, Hankow. But even if worst comes to worst, and Hankow falls even as Nanking did, and that all the effective armies of Chiang Kai-Shek are dispersed, still there will be enough widespread guerilla resistance that the Japanese will be unable to profit by their "conquest." Economic strains will defeat Japan in the end. Sails For China On June 7 The Rev. Edwin A. Beck sails from Vancouver on June 7 to continue hi.s work in the Far East.

THE PROGRAM IN DETAIL ( ON'UJl SSMAN THOM THEY NEED A BUS LETTERS TO THE SUN Like News From Home Editors The Sun: As we were sitting around the table this evening reading the news we also had with us a paper called The Sun and enjoyed reading the news from our community. Best regard to all. As ever, Mr. and Mrs. Ira Denious, Curtis, Michigan, May 23, 1938. Gospel Tabernacle Members Are Appealing To Public. The Gospel Tabernacle, located on Charlotte street opposite the North Canton high school, has started a campaign to raise the sum of $1850 for the purchase of a bus, gnd the members of the congregation are relying upon the generosity of the public to help them secure the vehicle. "The Gospel Tabernacle membership is too small to purchase a bus, that is the reason we are appealing to the general public," said one of the members to a writer for The Sun. "Any amount will be gratefully received, and I can assure you it will be used in a good cause." He also suggested that the following words from Luke be printed: Luke 6:3S. "Give and it shall be given unto you, good measure pressed down and shaken together and running over shall men give unto your bosom, for with the same measure that ye meet with, all shall be measured to you again. -o . Mothers' Study Club The Mothers' Study club will meet tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon at 2:00, in the home of Mrs. Charles Smith of North Main street. Tho topic to be discussed is "Family Sex Problems," and will be led by Mrs. Charles Howes. All mothers are invited. Congressman William R. Thom of Canton several years ago announced that he would derive much pleasure from showing high school graduates and others from this congressional district around Washington and Annapolis, Maryland. _ "Bill" meant every word of it, and since that day he has been 'squiring as they say in swagger circles, delegations from all parts of this district. This week Preston Lawrence, as-, sistant superintendent of schools, Jackson township, and Miss Frances Hill, senior class sponsor, Hartville schools received letters from Congressman Thom telling them he will be pleased to show students from the above-named schools all around Washington this week or next. Mr. Thom has arranged for the students to board a battleship at Annapolis, home of the naval academy. These tours are not "just rush arounds." They take in everything. And trust "Bill" to see it personally, that the children of his contituents do not miss a thing while guests of the congressman." w. c. nyjp tea At Hoover Lodge On Tuesday, June 7—Also Playlet.

The Book club met with Mrs. Geo. N. DeMoss of North Main street on Tuesday at 1:00 p.m. for luncheon. The next meeting will be in the early Fall. The new officers elected two weeks ago took their places. They are: Mrs. Lorin Wolf, president; Mrs. D. L. Glass, vice-president; Mrs. M. M. Rubright, secretary-treasurer. During the meeting held with Mrs. Lorin Wolf, Mrs. Wayne Hummel reviewed the book, "The Citadel." BEAUTIFUL ANNUAL Is the Hi-Lite Published By the Students of Greensburg. On the editorial desk of Thc Sun is a copy of Hi-Lite, 1938, published by the senior class of Greensburg high school. Greensburg elementary and East Liberty elementary are featured in the annual. The publication is dedicated to Miss Margaret Meloy, English and foreign language teacher, and a leader in the Girl Reserves. The Greensburg high school and the elementary schools of Greensburg and East Liberty are under the direction of Allen Kuder, whose work as a teacher and superintendent has made him one of thc outstanding educate)"* in Ohio. He is supported by an able staff, headed by Forrest G. Miller, principal of the high school. The illustrations, the text, the beautiful cover of navy blue and lettering of white would do credit to a college of national renown. Typographically the Hi-Lite is a work of art. Not a blemish in its pages. The Sun modestly acknowledges printing the volume, and it is another proof of the slogan, "Sun printers know how to print." memory for thousands of young men and women in Ohio after this week. The Sun trusts the "memory" will be a pleasant one. Many of the graduates will not go to college, but that does not mean that in the years to come they will not be leaders in the business or professional world. In this editorial The Sun will use the word "man," but in this instance it means men and women. This editorial will be blunt, and the writer hopes, to the point. So get this in your mind, young man: You will be just "one of the crowd" if your attitude toward life is, "I don't know where I'm going; but I'm on my way!" It is the young man who knows where he is going, and keeps on in a straight line, who usually reaches the farther point first. It isn't luck that sustains him and spurs him on. It is pluck! To want a thing tremendously—to deny yourself for it, to fight for it, suffer for it, to keep on and on striving after it! And above all to believe in it and yourself, and never be daunted by the obstacles in your way. It cannot be denied that fortunate circumstances, or "luck," as some people call it, play a part in many successful careers. The" unexpected opening, the chance introduction, the other fellow's mistake—these and many similar incidents have been the means of giving many a man the opportunity that leads to bigger things. But luck ends there. It never lias been, and never can be, a substitute for application, grit, intelligence, foresight and unrelenting purpose. Another thing, undoubtedly the most important of all—do not get the "swelled head" just because some one tells you "You know your stull'." That is the dangerous stage. An inflated cranium lias been responsible for tlie downfall of millions of young- men. If you watch an expert in any line work the most remaricable thing about him is that he never seems to be doing much, yet the job gets done, and well done, in an astonishingly short time. That is because he concentrates on the job at hand. The raw materials of thought are facts. And your job is to provide your brain with tacts, with knowledge, with information, by reading, by careful observation, and by study. But, and The Sun is repeating the advice because it likes young people and desires to see them successtul, keep your feet on the ground and your head from swelling. That is all. Now, young man, go out and "make good," as so many have done before you came on tho scene, better known as "The Battle of Life." WILL HONOR HEROES ON MEMORIAL DAY North Canton, Greentown, Hartville and Other Sections of The Sun's Territory Will Pay Tribute In Churches On Sunday and On Monday Visit and Decorate Graves. LEGION TO BE IN CHARGE Memorial Day a Day For Thought ONDAY next, May 30, is Memorial day. We always shall have Memorial day, but we cannot hope much longer to have thc man whose day it is. True, May 30 has come to be a general national day of commemoration of our dead in all wars. But we must not forget who it was that established Memorial day. It was the G. A. R. man. It was and is his day. Slowly at fust, then with increasing speed, the one foeman whom the G. A. R. man could not stop has made his inexorable advance. Only a scattered guard holds the last trench. The others have gone, not in defeat or surrender, but to receive the victor's final accolade. Most of us are not too young^ to remember when "old soldier" hail just one meaning. There is -glory enough for all our heroes of more . recent wars. But this is the day of the "old soldier" of lSGl-(!5. He is a much older "old soldier" than when we watched him march on Memorial day with his brother veterans. His marching days are over. But when he rides by on Monday, recall that he i.s the man for whom Memorial day was made. He cannot celebrate many more of them, so the Spanish-American war veterans, veterans of Foreign Wars, and the veterans of the World War are carrying on for him, and LOOK WHO'S HERE! Raymond J. Jeffreys Coming To Greentown Friday Night. after they have passed from the scene their sons, grandsons and great- grandsons will march to cemeteries and place flowers on the graves. Other "days" may sink into oblivion, but Memorial day will never die. Armistice day is the day of thc veterans of the World War. It is an occasion on which it is proper to recall their valor and the victories they won. If the American boys who fought and died on foreign soil did not make the world safe for democracy it was not their fault. It is well that there should be a day on which their deeds are recalled. But it is also well at a time like the present Memorial day when it should be made a day of consideration of the measures that may be taken to prevent repetition of the years of horror and suffering which ended when the guns ceased firing in France. The American Legion has a duty to perform and The Sun is pleased to report that the members are going about that duty like true-blue Americans. They do not want the United States to interfere in the quarrel between certain countries in Europe, neither do they favor granting tho followers in this country of Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin or other dictators the right to destroy the American system of government. TO GREET ROBT. TAFT Stores To Close Monday All business places in North Canton will be closed all day on Monday, Schafer & Messerly and Cameron, excepted. They will observe Sunday hours, S:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. The postoffice will not be open on Monday. Every section in The Sun's territory will pay homage to the nation's honored dead on Monday. Last week Tho Sun contained the North Canton American Legion Post Memorial day program in full, so there is nothing new. However, it may refresh the memory to mention a few of the high spots on the program. On Sunday evening the members of the Legion will meet at the Post home on West Maple and from there go to St. Paul's Catholic church for a Memorial day service and hear an address by the pastor. Memorial Day Program On Monday (Memorial day) the following will be the program: At 9:00 a.m. the Legion and Auxiliary will assemble at St. Paul's cemetery to decorate the graves and hold the Legion ritual services. Leaving by motor caravan at 9:30 all are invited to go to the North Canton cemetery where the following service will be held at 10:00 a.m.- Music Invocation Rev. N. B. ,Emch, pastor of Zion Lutheran church. Lincoln's Gettysburg Address .... T _,, , Glen Halter In Flanders Field Dorothy Neff Introduction of Speaker , ,, Mayor Frank M. Evans Address, "Marching Youth!" Rev. R. J. Humbert, pastor of Firestone Park M. E. church. Legion Ritual Services and Salute to the Dead. Taps. The Legion and Auxiliary will then go to Warstler's cemetery to decorate the veterans' graves located there. Greentown is planning to make Memorial day services an occasion of more than local interest, and as Commander E. E. Rank of Uniontown will have charge of the Legion services, assisted by Fred Metzger of Greentown, the program will be successful if the weather is clear. Post Com- [Continued on back page] Republican Candidate For U. Senate In Canton, Friday. S. RAYMOND d.dEFFfZHYS AT N. C. C. W. MEETING Members of St. Paul's Take Part In Cleveland Conference. Mrs. Fred W. Reikowsky of 1(!0 Woodside avenue; Mrs. E. Moon of McKinley avenue; Mrs. Robert O'Brien of the North Canton road; Mrs. Frank Pick of Harman street, and Mrs. Clara Moledor of East Maple street attended the all-day conference of the N. C. C. W. in Hotel Cleveland, in Cleveland on Saturday, Mav 21. The Confraternity of St. Paul's affiliated with the Canton deanery of the N. C. C. W. These ladies represented thc North Canton affiliation. Raymond J. Jeffreys, whose signature occupies more room than the one John Hancock placed on the immortal Declaration of Independence, and in whose honor an insurance company was named, notified The Sun that he is to address the graduates of Greentown high school on Fridav night, May 27, at 8:00 o'clock. He is a handsome bloke, is Raymond, and he is intelligent. He proved that when he quit journalism for the lecture platform. His mug will brighten this page, that is why the editors are using it today. Seriously, Jeffreys has a message, and he delivers it with just enough sugar that it does not leave a nasty taste. He is a philosopher, and like a true philosopher, he has a keen sense of humor. Greentown graduates and the people in that wholesome town are to be congratulated that Jeffreys is to make the commencement address. The one regret of the editors of The Sun is that they will be unable to hear him. ROBERT A. TAFT Mrs. Archer Visits Dalton Mrs. James Archer motored to Dalton on Tuesday to see her mother. Mrs. Vesta Nussbaum, and together they drove lo Apple Creek. She also bill "happy trip" to her brother and two sisters who left today (Wednes-( day) for a motor trip to California j gained great headway with sight-seeing their goal. • alarm came in. Robert A.

He is a Republican candidate for United States Senator from Ohio in the August primaries. Mr. Taft will meet all Republican workers and their friends and an invitation is extended by Hal A. Broda, Stark county chairman of the Taft for Senate committee, to all who wish to attend. COTTAGE BURNS Home of Mr. and Mrs. Held At Willowdale Lake Gutted. The cottage residence of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Held of Willowdale Lake was gutted by fire on Thursdav afternoon about 2 o'clock. Nothing was saved. The loss is partially covered by insurance.

The North Canton fire department responded to the call but tlie fire had before the WORLD WAR MONUMENT It Stands In the Norlh Canton Cemetery For AH To See. When the American Legionnaires visit the North Canton cemetery on Memorial day they will see a monument they took pride in dedicating a number of years ago. Their hands will come up in a salute when they see their buddy. He recalls the days of the World War, and he looks lis if he means business, in other words, a lot of grief for the fellow rash enough to try to stop him. CIVIL~WARJETERAN Isaac L. Kauffman the Last of the Soldiers of 61-65. Isaac L. Kaufman, who resides with his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Ervan, on the outskirts of North Canton, is the only member of the Union army alive today in this section of Stark county. The Sun on several occasions has mentioned this excellent citizen. Mr. Kaufl'man is 91 years of age. He has two daughters, Mrs. Laura DeMusey and Mrs. W. A. Ervan. Years ago Mr. Kauffman was active in Memorial day, and last year he rode to St. Paul's cemetery and was greatly interested in the exercises staged bv the World War men.

Mosier, Congressman-at-Large, For Services To Ohio, and Backs Him For a Second Term. HAS HARD COMMON SENSE HAROLD G. MOSIER Congressman-at-Large From Ohio By BEN LONG There is an old saying to the effect that "A prophet is seldom recognized in his own community." On the other hand, when a boy is born in a certain town or county, reared in it, and then goes into the outside world and makes good in a big way people who knew him when he was a lad take pride in telling the public all about his early days. This by way of introducing evidence to show that Highland county has not forgotten the youngster it knew as Harold G. Mosier, a farm boy, who liked to visit Hillsboro, the county seat, when the circus came to town or the band played. Conservative County A conservative community is _ Hillsboro; a friendly town, a section of Ohio from whence many able men first inhaled the inspiration that in later years caused them to become distinguished in journalism, the law, medicine, and in the marts of trade. Population considered, Highland county has written its name in large, letters, not only in Ohio, but in all parts of the United States, and the letters have stood for integrity and service. Committee Endorses Mosier Recently the Highland County Democratic Executive committee, Kenneth Perneau of Highland, chairman, passed a resolution endorsing Congressman-at-Large Mosier for a second term, and praising him for the able manner in which he represents all the people of his native state at the National Capital. At the Mosier campaign headquarters, 1118 Fidelity building, Cleveland, George Winter reports that "Nominating petitions are being returned filled from all parts of Ohio." Recalls Early Days Although a distinguished member of the Ohio Bar, Harold G. Mosier has never for a moment forgotten his early days in Highland county when he milked cows, 'tended the stock, and did many of the chores on a farm. No doubt that is one reason he is always willing to battle in or out of Congress for the agriculturist. It must give him great satisfaction to know that the county in which he was born and reared is among the first to recognize his great range of activity on all public questions, his powers of reasoning, and his hard common sense. The great state of Ohio needs Harold G. Mosier and his kind of courage which faces issues and reaches firm decisions. The radiant kind, which drives out cowardice from minds which come within its range. . JACRS¥auFwiLL VISIT MINERVA To Be Guests of Democrats In Park On Friday Night. The members of the Jackson club of Stark county, an organization composed of many of the best known and substantial men in the county, will hold a meeting in Minerva park, Minerva, on Friday, May 27, at 7:30 p.m. The Democrats of Minerva will play hosts, so it is almost needless to add that the members of the Jackson club and their guests are in for an excellent time. Minerva park is an ideal spot to spend a few happy hours. E. J. Lattin, secretary of the Jackson club, notified The Sun yesterday (Tuesday) that transportation will be found for members unable to use their own cars. To secure the transportation it is necessary to be at the south door of the courthouse, Canton, at 0:30 p.m. on Friday. Members of the club having room for passengers will be expected to take an extra rider. H. C. SCHOOL HEWS N. C. High Wins Sportsmanship Trophy In Stark County Each year the Stark county Athletic association awards to a school in the county a sportsmanship trophy for the school that has shown the best sportsmanship at the county athletic games. Five patrons from each community and ten students from each school who have participated in athletic sports, cast a ballot for the school of their choice and each official of the games casts a ballot. Fifteen schools of the county participate in this. No one school gets all the votes. Every school in the county received some votes this year. This year North Canton received the highest ranking. Hartville and Middlebranch were close runners up. All opponents of any winner of this trophy deserve credit for their part in helping a school to win. PUPILS GET AWARDS FOR GOOD WORK Senior Class Was Outstanding This Year In Many Things. On Monday, May 23, at the high school assembly the various awards earned by the pupils during the year were presented. Among these were the letters for football and basketball, literary and debate, certificates from the county for participation in literary, debate and music were also given out. The various awards earned by pupils from the scholarship tests in the district and the state were presented. Also recognition was given to the pupil in the senior class who was the most outstanding in citizenship. This award went to Margaret Mohler with honorable mention to Harold Royer.

Members of the Legion Auxiliary were out early this Wednesday morn ing selling the little red (lower made by disabled World War veterans in hospitals and other institutions where they take care of men unable to work in the outside world. If you were overlooked by accident, hunt up one of the patriotic young persons selling the poppy and buy one. The sum expended is small, but it will help bring some extra comfort to the man who gave the brow to the enemy when your country was in danger. CHINESE WILL FIGHT JAPAN WON'T PROFIT The Rev. Edwin A. Beck, Who Has Spent Many Years In the Far East As a Missionary Told Men In Zion Reformed Church Last Night That "Economic Strain Will Defeat Japanese." STILL A MIGHTY PEOPLE A first cousin of the Rev. Dr. Melvin E. Beck, the Rev. Edwin A. Beck, missionary to China, addressed the Brotherhood of Zion Reformed church at a fellowship supper on Tuesday, last night. He said in part: .We find folks are very human all the world over. Even those we fear and suspect we often leam when we know them more intimately. Chinese merchants build up splendid loyalties with their patrons, and some of our most valued associations are with merchants, bankers, and contractors who have served us. Anti-Foreign Boycott When anti-foreign prejudice swept over China in 1925 in consequence of the unfortunate "May 30th incident" and shops were closed in boycotts, our family grocer closed his shop, that is, the shop front was boarded up, but his messenger came to our house to inform us that "the back door was open" and as long as he had anything on his shelves it was at our disposal. China Is Advancing There later years, say six or seven, under the leadership of General Chiang and Madam Chiang, have seen wonderful progress in railroad extension, construction of motor roads, long distance telephone, air routes, currency reform, and new life movement. An unfriendly neighbor is now trying hard to smash this rising spirit of a mighty people. The probability is that the next few weeks will see a desperate effort to take the present capital, Hankow. But even if worst comes to worst, and Hankow falls even as Nanking did, and that all the effective armies of Chiang Kai-Shek are dispersed, still there will be enough widespread guerilla resistance that the Japanese will be unable to profit by their "conquest." Economic strains will defeat Japan in the end. Sails For China On June 7 The Rev. Edwin A. Beck sails from Vancouver on June 7 to continue hi.s work in the Far East.

THE PROGRAM IN DETAIL ( ON'UJl SSMAN THOM THEY NEED A BUS LETTERS TO THE SUN Like News From Home Editors The Sun: As we were sitting around the table this evening reading the news we also had with us a paper called The Sun and enjoyed reading the news from our community. Best regard to all. As ever, Mr. and Mrs. Ira Denious, Curtis, Michigan, May 23, 1938. Gospel Tabernacle Members Are Appealing To Public. The Gospel Tabernacle, located on Charlotte street opposite the North Canton high school, has started a campaign to raise the sum of $1850 for the purchase of a bus, gnd the members of the congregation are relying upon the generosity of the public to help them secure the vehicle. "The Gospel Tabernacle membership is too small to purchase a bus, that is the reason we are appealing to the general public," said one of the members to a writer for The Sun. "Any amount will be gratefully received, and I can assure you it will be used in a good cause." He also suggested that the following words from Luke be printed: Luke 6:3S. "Give and it shall be given unto you, good measure pressed down and shaken together and running over shall men give unto your bosom, for with the same measure that ye meet with, all shall be measured to you again. -o . Mothers' Study Club The Mothers' Study club will meet tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon at 2:00, in the home of Mrs. Charles Smith of North Main street. Tho topic to be discussed is "Family Sex Problems," and will be led by Mrs. Charles Howes. All mothers are invited. Congressman William R. Thom of Canton several years ago announced that he would derive much pleasure from showing high school graduates and others from this congressional district around Washington and Annapolis, Maryland. _ "Bill" meant every word of it, and since that day he has been 'squiring as they say in swagger circles, delegations from all parts of this district. This week Preston Lawrence, as-, sistant superintendent of schools, Jackson township, and Miss Frances Hill, senior class sponsor, Hartville schools received letters from Congressman Thom telling them he will be pleased to show students from the above-named schools all around Washington this week or next. Mr. Thom has arranged for the students to board a battleship at Annapolis, home of the naval academy. These tours are not "just rush arounds." They take in everything. And trust "Bill" to see it personally, that the children of his contituents do not miss a thing while guests of the congressman." w. c. nyjp tea At Hoover Lodge On Tuesday, June 7—Also Playlet.

On the editorial desk of Thc Sun is a copy of Hi-Lite, 1938, published by the senior class of Greensburg high school. Greensburg elementary and East Liberty elementary are featured in the annual. The publication is dedicated to Miss Margaret Meloy, English and foreign language teacher, and a leader in the Girl Reserves. The Greensburg high school and the elementary schools of Greensburg and East Liberty are under the direction of Allen Kuder, whose work as a teacher and superintendent has made him one of thc outstanding educate)"* in Ohio. He is supported by an able staff, headed by Forrest G. Miller, principal of the high school. The illustrations, the text, the beautiful cover of navy blue and lettering of white would do credit to a college of national renown. Typographically the Hi-Lite is a work of art. Not a blemish in its pages. The Sun modestly acknowledges printing the volume, and it is another proof of the slogan, "Sun printers know how to print." memory for thousands of young men and women in Ohio after this week. The Sun trusts the "memory" will be a pleasant one. Many of the graduates will not go to college, but that does not mean that in the years to come they will not be leaders in the business or professional world. In this editorial The Sun will use the word "man," but in this instance it means men and women. This editorial will be blunt, and the writer hopes, to the point. So get this in your mind, young man: You will be just "one of the crowd" if your attitude toward life is, "I don't know where I'm going; but I'm on my way!" It is the young man who knows where he is going, and keeps on in a straight line, who usually reaches the farther point first. It isn't luck that sustains him and spurs him on. It is pluck! To want a thing tremendously—to deny yourself for it, to fight for it, suffer for it, to keep on and on striving after it! And above all to believe in it and yourself, and never be daunted by the obstacles in your way. It cannot be denied that fortunate circumstances, or "luck," as some people call it, play a part in many successful careers. The" unexpected opening, the chance introduction, the other fellow's mistake—these and many similar incidents have been the means of giving many a man the opportunity that leads to bigger things. But luck ends there. It never lias been, and never can be, a substitute for application, grit, intelligence, foresight and unrelenting purpose. Another thing, undoubtedly the most important of all—do not get the "swelled head" just because some one tells you "You know your stull'." That is the dangerous stage. An inflated cranium lias been responsible for tlie downfall of millions of young- men. If you watch an expert in any line work the most remaricable thing about him is that he never seems to be doing much, yet the job gets done, and well done, in an astonishingly short time. That is because he concentrates on the job at hand. The raw materials of thought are facts. And your job is to provide your brain with tacts, with knowledge, with information, by reading, by careful observation, and by study. But, and The Sun is repeating the advice because it likes young people and desires to see them successtul, keep your feet on the ground and your head from swelling. That is all. Now, young man, go out and "make good," as so many have done before you came on tho scene, better known as "The Battle of Life." WILL HONOR HEROES ON MEMORIAL DAY North Canton, Greentown, Hartville and Other Sections of The Sun's Territory Will Pay Tribute In Churches On Sunday and On Monday Visit and Decorate Graves. LEGION TO BE IN CHARGE Memorial Day a Day For Thought ONDAY next, May 30, is Memorial day. We always shall have Memorial day, but we cannot hope much longer to have thc man whose day it is. True, May 30 has come to be a general national day of commemoration of our dead in all wars. But we must not forget who it was that established Memorial day. It was the G. A. R. man. It was and is his day. Slowly at fust, then with increasing speed, the one foeman whom the G. A. R. man could not stop has made his inexorable advance. Only a scattered guard holds the last trench. The others have gone, not in defeat or surrender, but to receive the victor's final accolade. Most of us are not too young^ to remember when "old soldier" hail just one meaning. There is -glory enough for all our heroes of more . recent wars. But this is the day of the "old soldier" of lSGl-(!5. He is a much older "old soldier" than when we watched him march on Memorial day with his brother veterans. His marching days are over. But when he rides by on Monday, recall that he i.s the man for whom Memorial day was made. He cannot celebrate many more of them, so the Spanish-American war veterans, veterans of Foreign Wars, and the veterans of the World War are carrying on for him, and LOOK WHO'S HERE! Raymond J. Jeffreys Coming To Greentown Friday Night. after they have passed from the scene their sons, grandsons and great- grandsons will march to cemeteries and place flowers on the graves. Other "days" may sink into oblivion, but Memorial day will never die. Armistice day is the day of thc veterans of the World War. It is an occasion on which it is proper to recall their valor and the victories they won. If the American boys who fought and died on foreign soil did not make the world safe for democracy it was not their fault. It is well that there should be a day on which their deeds are recalled. But it is also well at a time like the present Memorial day when it should be made a day of consideration of the measures that may be taken to prevent repetition of the years of horror and suffering which ended when the guns ceased firing in France. The American Legion has a duty to perform and The Sun is pleased to report that the members are going about that duty like true-blue Americans. They do not want the United States to interfere in the quarrel between certain countries in Europe, neither do they favor granting tho followers in this country of Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin or other dictators the right to destroy the American system of government. TO GREET ROBT. TAFT Stores To Close Monday All business places in North Canton will be closed all day on Monday, Schafer & Messerly and Cameron, excepted. They will observe Sunday hours, S:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon. The postoffice will not be open on Monday. Every section in The Sun's territory will pay homage to the nation's honored dead on Monday. Last week Tho Sun contained the North Canton American Legion Post Memorial day program in full, so there is nothing new. However, it may refresh the memory to mention a few of the high spots on the program. On Sunday evening the members of the Legion will meet at the Post home on West Maple and from there go to St. Paul's Catholic church for a Memorial day service and hear an address by the pastor. Memorial Day Program On Monday (Memorial day) the following will be the program: At 9:00 a.m. the Legion and Auxiliary will assemble at St. Paul's cemetery to decorate the graves and hold the Legion ritual services. Leaving by motor caravan at 9:30 all are invited to go to the North Canton cemetery where the following service will be held at 10:00 a.m.- Music Invocation Rev. N. B. ,Emch, pastor of Zion Lutheran church. Lincoln's Gettysburg Address .... T _,, , Glen Halter In Flanders Field Dorothy Neff Introduction of Speaker , ,, Mayor Frank M. Evans Address, "Marching Youth!" Rev. R. J. Humbert, pastor of Firestone Park M. E. church. Legion Ritual Services and Salute to the Dead. Taps. The Legion and Auxiliary will then go to Warstler's cemetery to decorate the veterans' graves located there. Greentown is planning to make Memorial day services an occasion of more than local interest, and as Commander E. E. Rank of Uniontown will have charge of the Legion services, assisted by Fred Metzger of Greentown, the program will be successful if the weather is clear. Post Com- [Continued on back page] Republican Candidate For U. Senate In Canton, Friday. S. RAYMOND d.dEFFfZHYS AT N. C. C. W. MEETING Members of St. Paul's Take Part In Cleveland Conference. Mrs. Fred W. Reikowsky of 1(!0 Woodside avenue; Mrs. E.

W. in Hotel Cleveland, in Cleveland on Saturday, Mav 21. The Confraternity of St. Paul's affiliated with the Canton deanery of the N. C. C. W. These ladies represented thc North Canton affiliation. Raymond J. Jeffreys, whose signature occupies more room than the one John Hancock placed on the immortal Declaration of Independence, and in whose honor an insurance company was named, notified The Sun that he is to address the graduates of Greentown high school on Fridav night, May 27, at 8:00 o'clock. He is a handsome bloke, is Raymond, and he is intelligent. He proved that when he quit journalism for the lecture platform. His mug will brighten this page, that is why the editors are using it today. Seriously, Jeffreys has a message, and he delivers it with just enough sugar that it does not leave a nasty taste. He is a philosopher, and like a true philosopher, he has a keen sense of humor. Greentown graduates and the people in that wholesome town are to be congratulated that Jeffreys is to make the commencement address. The one regret of the editors of The Sun is that they will be unable to hear him. ROBERT A. TAFT Mrs. Archer Visits Dalton Mrs. James Archer motored to Dalton on Tuesday to see her mother. Mrs. Vesta Nussbaum, and together they drove lo Apple Creek. She also bill "happy trip" to her brother and two sisters who left today (Wednes-( day) for a motor trip to California j gained great headway with sight-seeing their goal. • alarm came in. Robert A.

Broda, Stark county chairman of the Taft for Senate committee, to all who wish to attend. COTTAGE BURNS Home of Mr. and Mrs. Held At Willowdale Lake Gutted.

When the American Legionnaires visit the North Canton cemetery on Memorial day they will see a monument they took pride in dedicating a number of years ago. Their hands will come up in a salute when they see their buddy. He recalls the days of the World War, and he looks lis if he means business, in other words, a lot of grief for the fellow rash enough to try to stop him. CIVIL~WARJETERAN Isaac L. Kauffman the Last of the Soldiers of 61-65. Isaac L. Kaufman, who resides with his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Ervan, on the outskirts of North Canton, is the only member of the Union army alive today in this section of Stark county. The Sun on several occasions has mentioned this excellent citizen. Mr. Kaufl'man is 91 years of age. He has two daughters, Mrs. Laura DeMusey and Mrs. W. A. Ervan. Years ago Mr. Kauffman was active in Memorial day, and last year he rode to St. Paul's cemetery and was greatly interested in the exercises staged bv the World War men.
