Football Team Guests at Rotary Dinner Gordon Curry Entertains With Slides On Wyandot Cave The North Canton Football team and coaches were honored guests at a dinner given by the Rotary club Thursday evening in. the Community Christian dining hall. Following the meal, President M. M.

Gordon Curry was present and showed interesting slides of Wyandot cave, located in Crawford county, Ind., about 40 miles west of Louisville, Ky. Mr. Curry has been visiting this historic cave since 1906. He revealed that as a child, he and his father made a number of excursions exploring more and more of the cave until today there are about 23 and a half miles of underground passages that have been explored by man. About six miles is open to tourists and sight-seers. Mr. Curry also explained the many rock formations and stalactite and stalagmite deposits found in the cave. The pictures* he showed were both interesting and educational and the boys of the football team as well as the members of the • club thoroughly enjoyed the evening's program. Tomorrow evening (Thursday) the club will observe its annual Christmas party with the Rotary-Anns as special guests. In the past, these parties have been greatly enjoyed, and a good time is looked forward to for tomorrow night. o High School Gives Annual Xmas Program Tableaux, Glee Clubs, Orchestra, One-act Play Offered Friday Evening For Public In High School Auditorium State Officer Speaks Before Hi-Y Groups I-' -•■ Patrolman Van Allen Cites Many Cases Involving State Patrol and Demonstrates Crime Detection Apparatus To Boys The annual Christmas program of the local school for townspeople will begin promptly at 7:30 Friday evening, Dec. 23, at the high school auditorium.

The combined Junior and Senior Hi-Y clubs were given an interesting talk by State Patrolman Van Allen Monday night at the Community building. Corporal Van Allen told about different actual cases with which the patrol has dealt since its beginning and dealt at length on the evils of marijuana. He also described how boys start on a career ofi crime, starting1 in a small way, getting away with it and graduating to larger things until finally they wind up behind bars. "No matter how small the thing they take," Van Allen said, "they live in constant fear of detection. They might get away with it for a time but eventually they make a slip and that's when they're caught." Stresses Fingerprints Stressing the importance of fingerprinting not only as a means of identifying criminals but as a means of protection lie described an actual case where identification was made possible through the use of fingerprints which the victim had voluntarily as- scribed to for just such a purpose. "Many big business men and traveling salesmen are voluntarily being fingerprinted," he added. "These prints are then placed on file in, the civilian department of the Federal Department of Investigation and in the time of an accident or other casualty, prints can bo taken and compared with those on file. In many cases the identity of persons have been cleared up in this manner." An interesting demonstration was also given by Mr. Van Allen in the use of an ultra-violet ray machine to show how criminals are trapped. Giving one of the boys a specially treated dollar bill, he told him to hide it somewhere on his person while he, Mr. Van Allen, left the room. This boy first put it in his trouser's pocket, moved it to a jacket pocket and then finally to his shirt pocket. The patrolman then returned, turned off the lights and used this machine. As he played it over the boy's body every place that his hands or the bill had touched showed up green giving absolute proof of where the bjll had been hidden and also of where he had attempted to hide it. E. C. Marine Speaks at Legion Dinner[j Challenges Members To Meet Present Opportunities E. C. Marine of the Hoover company was the guest speaker at the American Legion dinner meeting on Monday evening. His subject was "Today." The speaker made a challenge to the members present to take advantage of opportunities that come to us today and not tomorrow. This came out of his many years of experience with the Hoover company in dealing with men in the various parts of the United States. v; Due to the good response' of members present at the dinner, it was decided to hold another'on January 16. Following the program, the men spent the rest of the evening socially. The committee in charge of the arrangements was composed of Guy Price, Glen Moore, William Sheehan, and Donald Spitler. Earl Herbruck was in charge of the program. It was also made known that the local post has eleven members to secure as yet, on their 1939 quota and the next meeting would be held on Monday, Jan. 2. The county meeting was held at Louisville tonight, o Final Arrangements Made for Club Dance Vacation Here, Students Home From College Return From Nineteen Colleges and Universities To Spend the Christmas Holidays With Parents and Friends Will Be Held At Belden Hotel Friday Evening With the exception of the decorations which will be done Thursday, everything is in readiness for the Christmas dance being held Friday evening at the Belden hotel by the Social club between the hours of 9 and 1.

T. Warburton. Marcy Kroft, president of the group, also wishes to announce that the first series of dancing lessons ended tonight but that the lessons will be started again on January 4. Next week on Wednesday evening members of the club will gather at the Community building for a Christmas party. Community Building Group Activities SPORTIVELY SPEAKING Dear Santa: It ain't for myself I'm a askin' sumpin as I know I ain't been a very good boy durin' the year. All I want is a nice, new, shiny sled, skates, gloves, scarf, coat, hat, whoa, just a minit, this don't sound rite. What I meant to say was please try and see what you can do about the following: Please see to it that the local hi school basketball team finally get the idea that team play is necessary to win ball games. I've a seen 'em play all their games so far this year but I hain't so sure they're gonna get anywhei-es unless a couple of the boys begin to realize that it takes five men to make a team rather than two. Then to leave the formula that will enable them to fergit about gettin sore at the other team and seein1 how rough they can make the game especially when the other team is so much better at makin' fouls. This has bin important in several games so far. Some of it has bin deliberate and has no place in the sport. Effen they want to play so rough please leave a few light weight football suits at the school, enough for both teams and then we'll let 'em go. Of course, then you'll also have to leave yard markers and a downs indicator. Unterstand Santa, I have the best interests of the team at heart. Some of the boys are playing good games but could play much better effen you impressed on them the necessity of team play instead of individuality. It looks good, sure, for one or two men, to score a whole bunch of points, but wuldn't it look just as good if the scoring was done by everybody just so long as they won their games. Effen they keep going like they have it's just the same as tellin' the other team, all you have to do is watch a couple of men, they're the only ones that score eny points, then wenvthey can't, they get mad and try to rough up the game. Then Old pal, here's another wish that you might fill for the coach of the Carnegie Tech team. Just see to it that a movable net ..is kept strung across the field every time the Horned Frogs get the ball on New Year's day so that Davey O'Brien can't throw his passes. Or else you might leave on the Skibo's doorstep a lot of collapsible butterfly nets to be carried by each member of the team, tucked away somewhere either under his helmet, jersey, or pants so that when Davey throws 'em they can ,quickly bring out the nets and hop around like a professor collecting speciments and bring the pigskin to earth before it comes to rest in the arms of a TCU goalward bound man. Then too, you might see to it that the night before the Rose Bowl game each jersey and pair of pants worn by the Duke Blue Devils is either filled with cement or lined with lead so that Southern Cal's backs can't move the men in 'em. Or you might go out the night before and flood the field so that it resembles a miniature pond which would make it a messy game and end in a tie. Of course, that would make supporters of both teams argue loud and long over the relative merits of their respective teams, but what's that got to do with the price of onions in Peru. Then how about fillin' the,hearts of various big league-'baseball managers with the true spirit of Xmas giving so that Ol' Os Vitt'can get so\ne good trades to build up the Indians. Say, something like olcl.Col. Jake Ruppert tradin' the Yankees for the Indians and $5 to boot. That would be one way for Cleveland to get a pennant next year. In fact, about the only way. While in Cleveland how about vis- itin' the domicile of the Barons and see that they keep up their fight. They bin a doin' o. k. for the last week or so and maybe you can keep 'em hopped up to continue their win- in' ways. Now to come back to North Canton again. How about goin' down to the bowlin' alley and posting a big sign on the bulletin board which would read sumpin' like this: "No team in the Monday Hoover Class C is allowed to win any games from Model 700 until they > have won ■. at least 25 games." That might help matters. Right now they've only won four games which ain't so good. They've tried real hard ever since the season started so I think their effort should be rewarded. A far as individual requests go you might see to it that Guy Sattler's bubble doesn't break for a while yet. He's been a doin' o. k. for the past few weeks and hopes to keep it up so you all help him out. Then you might instill in Jack Coughlin the ability to raise his bulk of 205 or is it 210 off the gym floor in the vol- [Continued on page five] i ( Gray-Y Held a successful opening of their Little Theater Monday with two performances, one coming at 4 and the other at 7 p.m. in the legion room.

About six miles is open to tourists and sight-seers. Mr. Curry also explained the many rock formations and stalactite and stalagmite deposits found in the cave. The pictures* he showed were both interesting and educational and the boys of the football team as well as the members of the • club thoroughly enjoyed the evening's program. Tomorrow evening (Thursday) the club will observe its annual Christmas party with the Rotary-Anns as special guests. In the past, these parties have been greatly enjoyed, and a good time is looked forward to for tomorrow night. o High School Gives Annual Xmas Program Tableaux, Glee Clubs, Orchestra, One-act Play Offered Friday Evening For Public In High School Auditorium State Officer Speaks Before Hi-Y Groups I-' -•■ Patrolman Van Allen Cites Many Cases Involving State Patrol and Demonstrates Crime Detection Apparatus To Boys The annual Christmas program of the local school for townspeople will begin promptly at 7:30 Friday evening, Dec. 23, at the high school auditorium.

The combined Junior and Senior Hi-Y clubs were given an interesting talk by State Patrolman Van Allen Monday night at the Community building. Corporal Van Allen told about different actual cases with which the patrol has dealt since its beginning and dealt at length on the evils of marijuana. He also described how boys start on a career ofi crime, starting1 in a small way, getting away with it and graduating to larger things until finally they wind up behind bars. "No matter how small the thing they take," Van Allen said, "they live in constant fear of detection. They might get away with it for a time but eventually they make a slip and that's when they're caught." Stresses Fingerprints Stressing the importance of fingerprinting not only as a means of identifying criminals but as a means of protection lie described an actual case where identification was made possible through the use of fingerprints which the victim had voluntarily as- scribed to for just such a purpose. "Many big business men and traveling salesmen are voluntarily being fingerprinted," he added. "These prints are then placed on file in, the civilian department of the Federal Department of Investigation and in the time of an accident or other casualty, prints can bo taken and compared with those on file. In many cases the identity of persons have been cleared up in this manner." An interesting demonstration was also given by Mr. Van Allen in the use of an ultra-violet ray machine to show how criminals are trapped. Giving one of the boys a specially treated dollar bill, he told him to hide it somewhere on his person while he, Mr. Van Allen, left the room. This boy first put it in his trouser's pocket, moved it to a jacket pocket and then finally to his shirt pocket. The patrolman then returned, turned off the lights and used this machine. As he played it over the boy's body every place that his hands or the bill had touched showed up green giving absolute proof of where the bjll had been hidden and also of where he had attempted to hide it. E. C. Marine Speaks at Legion Dinner[j Challenges Members To Meet Present Opportunities E. C. Marine of the Hoover company was the guest speaker at the American Legion dinner meeting on Monday evening. His subject was "Today." The speaker made a challenge to the members present to take advantage of opportunities that come to us today and not tomorrow. This came out of his many years of experience with the Hoover company in dealing with men in the various parts of the United States. v; Due to the good response' of members present at the dinner, it was decided to hold another'on January 16. Following the program, the men spent the rest of the evening socially. The committee in charge of the arrangements was composed of Guy Price, Glen Moore, William Sheehan, and Donald Spitler. Earl Herbruck was in charge of the program. It was also made known that the local post has eleven members to secure as yet, on their 1939 quota and the next meeting would be held on Monday, Jan. 2. The county meeting was held at Louisville tonight, o Final Arrangements Made for Club Dance Vacation Here, Students Home From College Return From Nineteen Colleges and Universities To Spend the Christmas Holidays With Parents and Friends Will Be Held At Belden Hotel Friday Evening With the exception of the decorations which will be done Thursday, everything is in readiness for the Christmas dance being held Friday evening at the Belden hotel by the Social club between the hours of 9 and 1.

T. Warburton. Marcy Kroft, president of the group, also wishes to announce that the first series of dancing lessons ended tonight but that the lessons will be started again on January 4. Next week on Wednesday evening members of the club will gather at the Community building for a Christmas party. Community Building Group Activities SPORTIVELY SPEAKING Dear Santa: It ain't for myself I'm a askin' sumpin as I know I ain't been a very good boy durin' the year. All I want is a nice, new, shiny sled, skates, gloves, scarf, coat, hat, whoa, just a minit, this don't sound rite. What I meant to say was please try and see what you can do about the following: Please see to it that the local hi school basketball team finally get the idea that team play is necessary to win ball games. I've a seen 'em play all their games so far this year but I hain't so sure they're gonna get anywhei-es unless a couple of the boys begin to realize that it takes five men to make a team rather than two. Then to leave the formula that will enable them to fergit about gettin sore at the other team and seein1 how rough they can make the game especially when the other team is so much better at makin' fouls. This has bin important in several games so far. Some of it has bin deliberate and has no place in the sport. Effen they want to play so rough please leave a few light weight football suits at the school, enough for both teams and then we'll let 'em go. Of course, then you'll also have to leave yard markers and a downs indicator. Unterstand Santa, I have the best interests of the team at heart. Some of the boys are playing good games but could play much better effen you impressed on them the necessity of team play instead of individuality. It looks good, sure, for one or two men, to score a whole bunch of points, but wuldn't it look just as good if the scoring was done by everybody just so long as they won their games. Effen they keep going like they have it's just the same as tellin' the other team, all you have to do is watch a couple of men, they're the only ones that score eny points, then wenvthey can't, they get mad and try to rough up the game. Then Old pal, here's another wish that you might fill for the coach of the Carnegie Tech team. Just see to it that a movable net ..is kept strung across the field every time the Horned Frogs get the ball on New Year's day so that Davey O'Brien can't throw his passes. Or else you might leave on the Skibo's doorstep a lot of collapsible butterfly nets to be carried by each member of the team, tucked away somewhere either under his helmet, jersey, or pants so that when Davey throws 'em they can ,quickly bring out the nets and hop around like a professor collecting speciments and bring the pigskin to earth before it comes to rest in the arms of a TCU goalward bound man. Then too, you might see to it that the night before the Rose Bowl game each jersey and pair of pants worn by the Duke Blue Devils is either filled with cement or lined with lead so that Southern Cal's backs can't move the men in 'em. Or you might go out the night before and flood the field so that it resembles a miniature pond which would make it a messy game and end in a tie. Of course, that would make supporters of both teams argue loud and long over the relative merits of their respective teams, but what's that got to do with the price of onions in Peru. Then how about fillin' the,hearts of various big league-'baseball managers with the true spirit of Xmas giving so that Ol' Os Vitt'can get so\ne good trades to build up the Indians. Say, something like olcl.Col. Jake Ruppert tradin' the Yankees for the Indians and $5 to boot. That would be one way for Cleveland to get a pennant next year. In fact, about the only way. While in Cleveland how about vis- itin' the domicile of the Barons and see that they keep up their fight. They bin a doin' o. k. for the last week or so and maybe you can keep 'em hopped up to continue their win- in' ways. Now to come back to North Canton again. How about goin' down to the bowlin' alley and posting a big sign on the bulletin board which would read sumpin' like this: "No team in the Monday Hoover Class C is allowed to win any games from Model 700 until they > have won ■. at least 25 games." That might help matters. Right now they've only won four games which ain't so good. They've tried real hard ever since the season started so I think their effort should be rewarded. A far as individual requests go you might see to it that Guy Sattler's bubble doesn't break for a while yet. He's been a doin' o. k. for the past few weeks and hopes to keep it up so you all help him out. Then you might instill in Jack Coughlin the ability to raise his bulk of 205 or is it 210 off the gym floor in the vol- [Continued on page five] i ( Gray-Y Held a successful opening of their Little Theater Monday with two performances, one coming at 4 and the other at 7 p.m. in the legion room.
