FOR BETTER HOMES
Mrs.
R. C. Willigmann Is the Chairman For North Canton.
Mrs. Robert C. Willigmann, Portage street, was notified by the Better Homes Association that she had
been appointed chairman of the local
Volunteer Better Homes committee.
Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Commerce in President Coolidge's cabinet, is president of the association.
When seen by a writer for The Sun
Mrs. Willigmann said she would serve.
"The observance of Better Homes
week is attracting nation-wide attention," said Mrs. Willigmann. "The
movement was started three and a
half years ago for the purpose of
creating a greater interest in the development of the home in its. broadest sense, and since that time it has
made remarkable progress, until now
it is observed in almost every town
and every community in the country.
It is supported by private gifts and
piiblic funds,- and is under the presidency of Herbert Hoover. Charitable,
social, educational, civic and governmental organizations of every descrip •
tion have .taken up the movement individually," said Mrs. Willigmann. She
added that she will wait until the
weather is "more propitious" before
naming a rmnmittee to bring the subject befo' ■: the -people of North Canton and '!.; vicinity.

AUTO KILLS GIRL
Dan W. Weigle, a resident of St.
Paul, Minnesota, addressed a number
of representative citizens on Thursday evening in the Community Building auditorium. As a rule Dan tells
a few humorous stories, but as his
time was limited on account of the
picture show, he forgot the jokes and
confined himself strictly to the serious facts confronting civilization.
He advocates a number of things
needful ih the building of character
and the development of a town. He
believes that far more people than
now must take hold and help if a community is to thrive. No obligation
rests upon the comparatively few who
now help that does not also rest upon
the many who now give nothing, do
nothing.
Carrying the Load ,^
Two per cent, of the people in the
United States carry the burden of
making a town fit to live in. He be
Tieves in the brotherhood of man, in
men and women organizing to "put
across" the things that will benefit a
'.town, and in his wanderings up and
down the highways he made the dis
covery that too many men are willing
to have a town rely wholly upon its
past without giving thought to the
needs of today or the- future.
Bouquet ,For North  Canton
He complimented North Canton on
possessing such a place as the Com
munity Building, and he declared that
the erection of such buildings develop
ed a spirit of mutual respect and good
will which will make for a united citizenship. He urged Hhe business men
to join a business men's organization,
asserting that Catholic and Protestant were then on the same footing
and could pull together for the good
of all because such organizations as
chambers of commerce neither had the
time nor inclination to discuss religious creeds—their creed being to
make possible tlie unity of mankind,
the promoting of good ' will and
achievements worth while.
Towns Hfip Each Otlwr
He said Canton 'Can help North
Canton, and that North Canton can
help Canton,' and it will be to the
mutual benefit of both when \hey decide to get dose together and pull
for the" good of all. Only through a
business organization, however, is it
possible to build a more prosperous
and better community. To attempt to
do so as individuals is waste of time.
At the conclu'siori of'his address, he
was ;cbngratulated "by Mayor Becher
and other- citizens. Mr. Wreigle was
presented' to' the audience by Lee T.
-Lewis,-president of theNPrih Ciriton
'Business "Men's'Association.

The "work in the boys' department
has been unusually good this week.
Attendance at' the club' meetings has
been all that could be expected and
the fellows have all been much interested in the work. All has gone
very well.
Dr. Richards, for thirty-two years
a missionary in Africa, addressed tho
town Hi Y club on Monday evening
at a special meeting. He sopke of the
animals of Africa, told how they were
different from the animals from ar>v
other part of the world, and gave
several pictures of the animals in their
native haunts. This was an open
meeting and all went away feeling
well paid for the time spent there.
Tuesday morning six boys were
present at the watch service that the
boys of the Hi Y clubs hold every
Tuesday  morning.
Tuesday noon the country branch of
the Hi Y held their meeting. The program took the form of a debate between Karns and Lorah on the desirability of having the school government run the students.
Want Fathers There
Next week the town Hi Y club expects to have their fathers meet with
them. The boys are doing this that
the fathers may see what they.are
trying to do.. Later there will be
meetings to which other members of
the boy's family will be invited.
The Mohawk club had an initiation
and "feed" at their last meeting. After
the meal Mr..Wood talked on how,to
keep healthy. All of the boys erijoyed
this immensely and hope that Mr,
Wood riiay go with them many times
in the future.

PULPIT AND PEW
ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH
[By the Pastor]
The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper will be observed at the morning
service next Sunday.  This service be
gins at 10.15  o'clock.  Sunday-school
at 9:00 o'clock.   No evening service.
A special offering will be received
next Sunday morning in response ,to
an appeal from Grace Lutheran
church, Washing! on, D. C. Many denominations have assisted their representative churches in the national
capital to build churches in this city
of splendid buildings. This congregation has secured a fine building site
on Sixteenth street. This is'the strung
on which the White House faces and
along which many of the embassies
are located. The site chosen is in an
excellent residential section, \v.;ll
adapted as a location for 'a^-'chureh.
This appeal has been sanctioned by
most of the districts comprising ou-
synod and by the synod itself at its
last session in Pittsburg. It is not
the desire of the congregation and its
pastor, Rev. Gerhard Lenski, to erect
an extravagant structure way beyond
their means and resources. But
through past experience they realize
the need of a representative and ade
quate structure, at least. The wealth
of the congregation is not sufficient
for this, hence this appeal.. As loyal
Lutherans and patriotic" Americans
we are interested in tins congregation's plans and effort. Gifts for such
a cause are not in vain nor to be
regretted.
To Assist Church'
The Luther League of St. John's
church, Rev. George Wagner, pastor,
Akron, has extended an invitation to
the local Luther League and all who
may be interested in a Rally service
next Sunday evening at 7:30 o'clock.
Rev. Arthur Kuhlman of Pittsburg,
Pa., will address this gathering on
the subject of Luther,. League
Methods." ,., :
The Young People's society will
hold a social gathering in the church
basement on Friday evening.
The catechetical class meets in the
church on Saturday morning at 9:00
o'clock.
ZION REFORMED CHURCH
[By the Pastor]
It was the pastor's privilege to attend the Ohio Pastor's Convention at
Columbus, last week. Jam .39-21. It
was the largest and best of the eight
that have thus far been held. The program, the spirit, the interest were
fine. Our own denomination was finely
represented. The convention broke up
into denominations at luncheon
Thursday noon until the middle of the
afternoon. Quite a number who were
present in' the early part of tlie Convention had already returned home,
but we had 61 present at our luncheon,
which was held in the Y. M. C. A.
building, when our bunch • was. addressed by Dr. H. J. .Christman,
president of the Central Theological
seminary, on "Comity" and the Rev.
E. H. Wessler, president of our. Ohio
Synod, on "The Evangelistic Urge."
It was a worthwhile convention.
We fell just a little below our- usuaL)
number in Sunday-school, the result,
of unfavorable weather no doubt. -The*
report' read' 379 present. A ■ real: attentive and appreciative audience
greeted the pastor in the morning..- In
the evening, instead of a sermon,
echoes of the Pastors' Convention,
were given, that as a religious outlook.
The Naomi class meets on Thursday evening of this week in the base-
lrient of the church.
Next Sunday's appointments are
regular, morning and evening. All
who come are heartily welcome.

THE COMMUNITY
CHRISTIAN CHURCH
[By the Pastor]
We are approaching the most seriously religious season in the year,
the Lenten period leading up to
Easter. This has come to be observed
by all churches.
This is the most evangelistic period, the period of self denial and active service. This is the season when
ministers get accustomed to expect
more from people than at any other
season. People attend church who do
not at other times. People serve on
committees and make more sacrifices
with less complaint. We trust that
this will be our experience. That
things that occupy our time and
thought will be put aside and the
church will receive more of our time.
Let's get the church habit.
Subject of Sermon
The subject for the morning sermon
on Sunday will be, "The Processes
of a Religious Experience; How '.t->
we get religion, or What Must I Do
to be Saved?"-
The night service will consist of o
musical program by the united ch iirs
of the Trinity Lutheran and the Community Christian churches.
The cantata is entitled "The Triumph of David," by Dudley Buck. It
is the story of David's triumph over.
Saul as told in 1 Samuel. This is one
of the great dramas of the Bible-and
makes good material for., dramatic
presentation.     '"".' *, '

Mr. and Mrs. Van Camp of Akron and Mrs. Grace Shoop
Prove Their Ability As Entertainers Before Large Crowd.
PROGRAM OF EXCELLENCE
"Guest Day" of the Ladies' Literary club, observed on Monday afternoon, in the Community Christian
church was one of, the most enjojed
meetings of this well-known club.
Music of a high order, such as North
Canton folks know how to appreciate,
was the principal feature of the program.
Mr. and Mrs. Van Camp of Akron
gave the concert numbers, which were
well done. Mrs. Van Camp's numbers
on the piano and organ proved her
to be master of her instrument and
a good accompanist.
■ Mr. Van Camp's singing showed
fine technique, a splendid voice and
good judgment in selection of his
program. An enjoyable feature of his
work was his distinct enunciation.
Mrs. Shoop the Reader
Mrs. Grace Shoop of Canton was
the reader of the afternoon. Her work
was of a high order and her hearers
were truly entertained. All of tho;.-.i
who contributed to the program were
artists of ability.
Mrs. D. F. Dillin, chairman of the
committee, presided, and Mrs. Claud
Taylor made a few remarks at the
close of the program.

Tickets for the Akron Glee club
concert-will be for sale in the Community Building. Get your ticket
early as only enough will be sold to
fill the church and everyone will want

not a money-making club, as all the
cash received by them is used in helping institutions after their music expenses are met.
This club is composed of forty business men, who because they have good
voices, love to do this work for art's
sake, and the good that they can do.
They will give their Concert here
on Tuesdiy night, Feb. 9, in the Community Christian church.
Strassner,   Roger   Kelly   and   H.   E.
Schiltz.
The chorus, and the soloists, together with the organ and the special organ numbers; the scripture
story and the regular devotional period should make a program that will
satisfy and inspire the most critical.
Attention is called again to the concert to be given by the Missionary
society at the church on February 9
by the Akron Glee Club. This club is
an organization of,the best male singers of Akron, and will be well worth
hearing.

Bratten has consented to play.
It is hoped that better music will
lend to better order and that everyone will enjoy tlie pictures more than
ever before.

The North Canton Class A basket
ball team is at present being reorganized. Tlie boys feel that they have
not been going right .this ,year. and
are trying,to discover the reason. They
had planned to have a meeting on
Monday evening, but previous engagements kept so many of the fellows
from coming that they decided to wait
for a more opportune time.
The .class B team will play«jthe Pure
Milks teani at the auditorium this
Wednesday evenirig as a curtain raiser
for the professional game that is to
be  played  there  that  night.
Saturday evening at 8 o'clock this
team plays the Canton Minerals on
the Community Building floor. This
should be a good fast game. The
local boys have not lost a game so
far and if they continue at the pace
they are going they are liable to keep
that record. for quite a while.
The Class C team will open the
evening with a. game with some team
from Canton. These boys are fast and
good, so come early and see two good
games.

will this week place a letter appeal
in the homes and next Sunday afternoon will make personal visits to these
homes to receive the offering. No fixed

people are enthused over the project
and refuse to believe they can fail to
obtain a liberal gift from the county.

George D. Harter Bank, of Canton,
has consented to act as treasurer of
the fund.

through the winter without deaths

head, with such men as Newton D.
Baker and Dr. Charles F. Thwing,
well known educator of Cleveland, as
