Whether or not you believe in the
"groundhog theory," the plain, blunt
fact sticks out like a sign at a fire
sale that snow in large quantities is
here, there and eveiywhere. For the
benefit of those who were too busy
on Tuesday to notice the weather it
is recorded right now that it was a
misty,'sloppy, slippery, dark and dismal day. -
This Wednesday morning long before the milkman began his rounds
snow started to fall, followed by
light rain when The Sun went to
press. It is well, to keep in mind that
this is February and that roses do
not bloom in this section of the U.
S. A. in mid-winter. As a.-matter of
fact, this is seasonable weather, and
when the weather is seasonable the
crops are good. So let us be thankful
for the snow today. It means that
we eat when summer and fall comes
around.
Snow Closes Schools
The snowstorm hit North Canton
and its vicinity a hard crack the latter part of last week, hut the inter-
urban cars kept running as did the
busses. North of town the people experienced -"real winter." Schools were
closed and many persons were compelled to seek shelter in homes along
the roadside.
The Greensburg correspondent of
The Sun reports that fifteen automobiles were .stalled west 'of that town,
the schools were closed and traffic
came to a standstill until the snow-
plows and men with shovels cleared
the roads.
The East Liberty correspondent of
The Sun, Newton Werstler, sent the
following message to this newspaper:
. Severe Snowstorm
Wednesday night .and-Ihursday this
district was visited iby one of the most
severe snow and wind storms in several years. This vicinity for many
hours was almost entirely isolated
from the outside world. Telephones
were put out of commission, bus service was -discontinued .and all motor
traffic tied .up.
North of town the Massillon and!
Akron bus ;of .the Dutt Transit com-i
pany and many machines were stall-]
ed in the huge drifts of snow, and
the marooned passengers sought
refuge in the -near-by "homes to escape the biting cold -and snow driven
by a terriffic .gale of wind. South of
town another bus was stalled in six
feet of snow. It took .nearly all day
to release it.
Schools Closed Down ,
The Greensburg schools, both high
and grades, were dismissed on Thursday and, Friday, teachers and pupils
being unable to get through. Mr. Wilcox, principal of tlie East Liberty
school, with his wife, who teaches the
5th grade at Greensburg, left Akron
where they reside, at JiBO Thursday
morning, but were unable to get here
until 3:15 p. ni.
In the absence of the"principal Miss
Diehl, who teaches the primary
grades, took charge and enlisted the
services, of. Ruth Erichsen and Helen
McEwen, two of our girls who attend
school at Greensburg high. In this
way the pupils able to get through
the snow were taken care of. Helen
McEwen taught the primary room,
Miss Diehl the intermediate and Ruth
Erichsen the advanced grades, assisted by C. E. Diehl, who acted as
disciplinarian.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilcox did not care
to repeat their experiences of Thursday but spent the night at the home
of C. E. Diehl.
Truck Demolished
Owing to the slippery condition of
the roads on Sunday, caused by the
ice, snow and rain, a large milk truck
loaded with milk which had been collected at the dairy farms qf Green
township for delivery in Akron, was
wrecked and the driver seriously injured. In going down the large steep
hill north of East Liberty the driver
turned out to pass a machine and the
heavily loaded truck left the road, hit
the ditch, and turned completely over. I
The occupants of a machine following picked up the injured driver and |
rushed him to the People's hospital
in Akron, where it was found he had
a broken shoulder.
His employers stated that he had
been driving the truck two years for
them and this was his first accident.
They also said that they would stand
all the losses sustained by the producers.
FROM ALL CHURCHES
Bright  Budget of News-Contributed
By North Canton Pastors.
ST. PAUL'S CHURCH
The Feast, of the. Purification, also
called "Candlemas-Day," was celebrated in St. Paul's" church on Tuesday, Feb. 2. The candles that are
used during the year in-the liturgy
of the church were blessed. Many of
the faithful took candles home with
them.
On Wednesday, the feast of St.
Blase, the annual custom of Blessing
of Throats, was observed. A brief explanation of this ceremony may be in
order: St. Blase, Bishop and Martyr,
worked - wonderful <iures in his day
through the power .'which God gave
him, this faculty manifesting itself
particularly in afflictions of the
throat. Since that time the Church
calls upon the intercession of this
saint, asking God to guard the faithful from afflictions of the throat, according to His Will. In the ceremony
two candles are blessed and lighted;
these are then held before the throat
of the one receiving the blessing and
the priest prays as follows: "Through
the intercession of St. Blase, Bishop
and Martyr, may God free thee from
evils of the throat and from all other
evils in the Name of the Father and
the Son and the Holy Ghost, Amen."
Next Sunday the StJ Rose Sodality,
as well as the Altar boys, will receive
holy Communion in a body at the 8
o'clock Mass. :;
Very Rev. Edward F. Burke, M.A.,
Ph.D., President of Our Lady of the
Lake Seminary, Cleveland, will- lecture on Religoius Education, as the

MAPLE PRODUCTS
State  Will  Prosecute ^Manufacturers
If They Substitute For Original^'
Columbus, Feb. 3—[Special]—With
the approach of the season for making maple products, the Division of
Foods and Dairies again calls the attention of manufacturers and dealers
to Ohio statutes which prevent the
marketing of substitutes. Since maple
flavor is quite easily imitated, inspectors of this division of the Department
of Agriculture are charged with the
duty of protecting legitimate producers and distributors from unfair competition which substitutes or imitations constitute.
The law requires that maple products shall be made by the evaporation of the pure sap of the maple tree
—that they shall be of such density
that a standard liquid gallon shall not
weigh less than 11 pounds avoirdupois.
Director Truax points out that any
one who offers for sale or sells an
adulteration of maple products in a
package bearing the word "maple" is
subject to penalty under the law. The
use of such words or phrases as
"Mapo," "Mapleine," "Maypole,"
"Compound Maple," "Imitation Maple"
or any similar misleading trade name
shall be construed as a violation of
the law.

seem to "grow, glow and go." It is
an added new interest in our school.
We omit the evening service to attend the meeting which is to be held
in the Community House at 7:30
o'clock, one of the four planned by
the religious committee as a community program.
The pastor's subject for next Sunday morning is "In the World, But
Not of It." Welcome all who will
come.

ZION REFORA1ED CHURCH
[By the Pastor]
We record our appreciation that
the weatherman's report of rain for
Sunday did not go into effect until
the afternoon. We are happy to say
that the attendance at Sunday-school
and the morning worship was fine.
Our record for Sunday-school attendance was 468. The inclement weather
affected our evening audience. Bob
Dixon's face and voice were once
more in evidence. We were glad to
welcome him back, and we all wish
for him a successful school year. A
number of our sick and shut-ins are
missed in our gatherings, and some
of these are among our regulars. We
not only miss them, but we remember them in our prayers.
The Ruth class planned to hold their
regular,- monthly meeting in the
church on Tuesday, evening. They did
not find the weather and walking conditions . the most favorable for a full
attendance.

• Albert Mohler will conduct the1]
,Luther League meeting next Sunday
evening at 6:30. The •'topic Sfor ihe
:evening Will-be-discussed,.''What Does
,the Luther League Mean TorMe?"
The reading of James M. Barrie's
play, "Alice Sit By the Fire," by Mrs,
H. D. Else of Canton, was the principal feature of the program at The
Woman's Club of North Canton on
Monday evening when the members
met in the assembly room of the
Community  Building.
Charming Personality
Mrs. Else has a!charming personality, and read the play with a com--
plete understanding'. of the several
characters, impersonating each one so
well that not for a minute did the
audience lose track of the character
speaking.
Barrle is always new and "Alice Sit
By the Fire" is one of his cleverest
comedies, with most amusing situations, clean, wholesome and subtle.
A Musical Treat
Mrs. R. C. Foster sang two numbers, accompanied by Miss Ella Geid-
linger, "Parting 'From Thee," and
"The King." Mrs. Foster is in good
voice always, and Monday night was
no exception. Both selections were
especially  enjoyed.
Miss Ethel Brown was in charge of
the meeting and Mrs. E. M. Beck and
Mrs. Glen Moore were hostesses. The
program on Monday night heard by
a stranger would have given the true
impression of North Canton as a
whole, and have marked the residents
as persons who like the better class
of entertainments, have high ideals,
and know instinctively dross from
gold.

On Sunday evening at. 7:30 the second lecture on "Religious Education"
will be delivered in the Community
Building by the Very Rev. Edward F.
Burke, M. A., Ph.D., president of Our
Lady of the Lake Seminary, Cleveland. Professor H. L. Beam of Heidelberg University, Tiffin, opened the
series here and represented Zion Reformed church. To quote The Sun of
Jan. 24. "Should he (Professor Beam)
decide to visit North Canton again he
won't be greeted by empty chairs, not
while people are able to walk. It was
a splendid address, and one that will
bear fruit."
Two more speakers are scheduled
to come to North Canton, a member
of the Christian church and a member of Zion Lutheran. One a month,
for four months, was the original plan
of the Community Building committee
having the lecture course in charge,
and it still stands; so The Sun has
been informed. The first meeting in
January drew a large audience,' and
if the weather is not too bad it is
predicted that the auditorium will be
filled on Sunday evening when the
Rev. Dr. Burke mounts the platform.
While in North Canton he will be the
guest of Father Kotheimer, pastor of
St. Paul's church.
A Recognized Authority
Discussing Dr. Burke, a member of
the Community Building said to a
writer for The Sun: "He is well worth
hearing, as he is a recognized authority on religious education. He has
traveled many miles, and his acquaintance is wide among the leaders
of many denominations. I think North
Canton is fortunate in securing this
able man who is known far beyond
the borders of this state for his abil-f
ity to develop chai-acter in its best i
form."
St. Paul's Choir To Sing
The Sun has been informed that the
members of St. Paul's male choir will
sing several numbers under the direction of Ed Ream. This is a feature-
that will give pleasure to lovers of
good singing.
To .Uphold the Home
These lectures, in which every
church in North Canton is taking part,.
is not for the purpose of advocating-
any single dogma or creed, but to call
attention to the undermining influences which menace the home. Today
many voices are heard calling attention to the disastrous decadence of
home life. The Duke of Wellington,
once truthfully said that "education
without religion will surround us with
clever devils."
America today has clever educated
devils a-plenty. Many of the most
vicious law-breakers of the times are

the light. Common sense should lead
people to see, if only on prudential
grounds, how tremendously important
this is. In these modern days of jazz.
with all tlie rush and the bustle of
life, with its crazy appetite for new
sensations and thrills, but few, if any,
institutions are so alarmingly threatened as tlie home.
A Splendid Move
Bringing noted educators to North
Canton to point out the pitfalls along;
the highway of life is something the
town is going to understand and appreciate before the warm days enter,
and The Sun takes this opportunity
to congratulate the Community Building committee, the pastors of the
churches and the people generally. It
stands for what this newspaper has
always advocated—the Community
Spirit in its best form.
