Birds Suffer Most In Battle of Seasons Kid Spring and Old Man Winter squared off for a show down battle early Wednesday morning when most everyone was deep in the comforting arms of Morpheus and it appeared for a time that the Old Man had too much power for the youngster. Accompanied by a heavy wind Winter huffed and puffed throughout most of the morning and succeeded in delivering several telling blows that threatened to send the Kid down for the count. However, Spring began to regain his strength and with the aid of the Sun began a comeback that gradually began to tire Winter near the middle of the fight. However, the fight was far from over for throughout the day it raged off and on with first Winter being the agressor and then Spring. To make matters worse Henry Temperature decided to take a hand in the situation and sent Speedy Mercury tumbling downwards to around freezing, this being close to noon. Evidently feeling that the battle had to end soon, Kid Spring continued to battle against apparent overwhelming odds and began a belated rally early in the afternoon to swing things in his favor. Fleecy Clouds began to scatter over the sky allowing the sun to peak through and as a result Winter's most telling punch, Snow, began to melt away. Though we sat on the inside looking out, that is, the fury of the battle didn't harm us, there are some who were definite victims of circumstance. These poor unfortunate creatures are our familiar song birds. Huddled in small groups in various spots that provided some sort of shelter they seemed to say "What have we done to deserve this kind of treatment." Their lot can be made much easier if a few bread crumbs, etc., are spread in sheltei-ed spots along with a litlte warmed water. Yost Yenny Dead Services Held This Afternoon in Greentown Yost Yenny, 84, a resident of Stark county for 50 years, died Monday morning after a two week's illness in his home in Greentown. He is survived by two sons, David of Greentown and Adolf of Akron; three daughters, Mrs. Elizabeth Booth of Canton, Mrs. Leah Myers of the home, and Mrs. Anna Witsman of Aultman, and eleven grandchildren. Funeral services Wednesday afternoon will be held at the home of Mrs. Anna Witsman with the Rev. L. E. Smith in charge. Interment will be made in Greentown cemetery in charge of the A. C. Myers and son parlor. o Merchants Offer Special Bargains Unusual Values May Be Had For Two Days, April 17-18 North Canton merchants have banded together and are offering for two days only, April 17 and 18, outstanding values in merchandise proving again that just as good bargains can be had here as in other communities. This will not only afford an opportunity for residents of the community to take advantage of this offer but also those who work here or live in nearby communities. Another factor that plays a vital role is the ease with which shopping may be carried out. For one thing there is not the parking problem which is the bugbear of many shoppers. Another thing is the curtailment of long waiting should you be in a hurryy If you're not in a hurry you'll find the merchant ready to help you in every respect. North Canton merchants have built up a reputation of friendly service backed by many years of fair dealing both of which are prime essentials in any business if it is lo succeed. Proof that they have succeeded can be readily ascertained by the fact that they are still here despite the depression, recession or what have you anxious to serve you. You can assure yourself of being able to secure other unusual bargains, showing the merchants you are appreciative of their efforts to present such values, by taking advantage of this two-day sale. —o Play Sponsored by Woman's Club "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast" to be Dramatized April 26 "Sumptious was the feast Nokomis Made at Hiawatha's wedding She had sent through all the village Messengers with wands of willow As a sign of invitation."

Birds Suffer Most In Battle of Seasons Kid Spring and Old Man Winter squared off for a show down battle early Wednesday morning when most everyone was deep in the comforting arms of Morpheus and it appeared for a time that the Old Man had too much power for the youngster. Accompanied by a heavy wind Winter huffed and puffed throughout most of the morning and succeeded in delivering several telling blows that threatened to send the Kid down for the count. However, Spring began to regain his strength and with the aid of the Sun began a comeback that gradually began to tire Winter near the middle of the fight. However, the fight was far from over for throughout the day it raged off and on with first Winter being the agressor and then Spring. To make matters worse Henry Temperature decided to take a hand in the situation and sent Speedy Mercury tumbling downwards to around freezing, this being close to noon. Evidently feeling that the battle had to end soon, Kid Spring continued to battle against apparent overwhelming odds and began a belated rally early in the afternoon to swing things in his favor. Fleecy Clouds began to scatter over the sky allowing the sun to peak through and as a result Winter's most telling punch, Snow, began to melt away. Though we sat on the inside looking out, that is, the fury of the battle didn't harm us, there are some who were definite victims of circumstance. These poor unfortunate creatures are our familiar song birds. Huddled in small groups in various spots that provided some sort of shelter they seemed to say "What have we done to deserve this kind of treatment." Their lot can be made much easier if a few bread crumbs, etc., are spread in sheltei-ed spots along with a litlte warmed water. Yost Yenny Dead Services Held This Afternoon in Greentown Yost Yenny, 84, a resident of Stark county for 50 years, died Monday morning after a two week's illness in his home in Greentown.

This will not only afford an opportunity for residents of the community to take advantage of this offer but also those who work here or live in nearby communities. Another factor that plays a vital role is the ease with which shopping may be carried out. For one thing there is not the parking problem which is the bugbear of many shoppers. Another thing is the curtailment of long waiting should you be in a hurryy If you're not in a hurry you'll find the merchant ready to help you in every respect. North Canton merchants have built up a reputation of friendly service backed by many years of fair dealing both of which are prime essentials in any business if it is lo succeed. Proof that they have succeeded can be readily ascertained by the fact that they are still here despite the depression, recession or what have you anxious to serve you. You can assure yourself of being able to secure other unusual bargains, showing the merchants you are appreciative of their efforts to present such values, by taking advantage of this two-day sale. —o Play Sponsored by Woman's Club "Hiawatha's Wedding Feast" to be Dramatized April 26 "Sumptious was the feast Nokomis Made at Hiawatha's wedding She had sent through all the village Messengers with wands of willow As a sign of invitation."
