There are a number of reasons to be thankful this year, and the leading editorial in The Sun this week enumerates them. \ Below will be found contribution^ to this column from the four pastors in North Canton. Without intending anything savoring of flattery, The Sun gives thanks that such men as Rev. Mr. Beck, Rev. Father Kotheimer, Rev. Mr. Sutter and Rev. Mr. Cossaboom are here to serve tlie public. Red-blooded men without any of the holier-than-thou nonsense about them, they would be a credit to the largest church in the biggest city. It is a pleasure to know such men, and the good they are doing in an unostentatious way proves them to be high- minded, scholarly gentlemen possessing the real christian and community spirit. COMMUNITY BUILDING Something Is Doing AH the Time In "The Heart of North Canton." IN THE CHURCHES Zion Lutheran Thanksgiving services will be conducted in the Zion Lutheran church on Thanksgiving day at 10 o'clock. •The sermon will be delivered by the pastor, who will speak on "The Spirit of True Thanksgiving." A cordial welcome is extended to all citizens of North Canton and its vicinity. Come, let us "Praise the Lord from Whom All Blessings Flow." Our congregation has the interests of this community at heart. We live here, we enjoy the blessings of this community. We are working fori the blessing and good of all. ■-' ■ Zion Reformed The abupdant gifts of Grace, the enjoyment of peace with all the world, the fruitful resources that have poured such plenty into our laps should at this season of the year call us to genuine thanksgiving. Not all the nations are thus highly favored. What are we going to do about it ? The call of God and conscience; the proclamation of the Chief Executives of nation and commonwealth bid us go into the house of divine worship to express our heart appreciation.

The Wolf Cubs are planning their next meeting for 10:30 on Saturday morning. Harry Williams is .going to be the leader of the Pack that is already organized and promises to take the boys out for a fine time on Saturday morning and early afternoon. The boys will probably have something to eat in some corner of the woods, where the fried bacon and fried eggs will make all passers-by hungry. Boy Scouts Increasing The Boy Scouts at their regular meeting Friday had several new faces to brighten up the dark corners. When a couple of boys come into the troop every week, it won't be long until it will be necessary to have a second troop organized and going full speed ahead, once again. Hi-Y Boys The Hi-Y boys at their meeting on Thursday evening elected Harley Givler as their representative at the annual Hi-Y conference at Lima, Ohio, on November 26, 27 and 28. Although Harley will be the official spokesman of the party, four other fellows are also planning- on making the trip. Carl Warstler, Roger Bishop, Milo Gillespie, Dale Gerber and the leader, C. B. Eschbach, are planning on making the trip by auto. The theme of . the conference this year is "The Quest." In company with Hi-Y boys from every club in the State, our fellows will talk over their own experiences and bring back to our club some of the spirit and pep that they will find there in the meeting. Bowling Gamcfe Two teains from the Inter-City League rolled as usual in. the local alleys on Monday night. Guhts from Canton and Meinharts from Massillon were the contending teams. The Canton boys .walked away to an easy victory by winning three straight games with plenty of margin to spare in each game. Cross of Canton was high man, with a grand total of 612 pins. The boys showed real class in their playing and promise to give lots of competition to the other teams in the League as they meet up with them from week to week. Physical Department Probably due to,the enthusiasm developed by the "open house," the physical department gained several new members in all classes this week. The volley ball teams are going at it -with more pep than ever and will make a better showing next time— at least the five-thirty class says so. The eight o'clock class on Tuesdays and Thursdays is still looking for new members. Their program is working out in fine shape. o Thanksgiving D SILENT THANKSGIVING RELIGIOUS FREEDOM ENJOYED IN RUSSIA Soviet Government Composed of Atheists Permits People To Worship God But They Can't Own Church Property.

Morrison, editor of the Christian Century, discussed Russian affairs from the pulpit of the Community Christian church on Sunday night. He was with Dr. Eddy's party last summer and spent six weeks in Soviet Russia. Dr. Morrison said that while it is true that atheists are at the head of the government, nevertheless they permit freedom in religious worship, although it is contrary to law for any denomination^to own church property. All contributions must be made when .the deacons pass the plates during the services. Pledges are unlawful. Sunday-Schools Sunday-schools in churches are not objectionable to the Communists in charge of affairs there if the churches are "independent," meaning they have hroken away from the Greek^Ortho- dox church of the former Czars. Hungry For Education - The Russians are hungry for education, and strange though it may seem, the government leaders have accepted the advanced ideas of American teachers of high standing. The drawback is that Russia cannot import teachers because foreigners do jiot know the language well enough to instruct the- young. , The government, however, is training men and women to become teachers, although lack of money retards this laudable movement. Under the Czars many millions of Russians were unable to read or write, but with the Communists in control improvement is noticeable and about 30 per cent, of the young* people are able to read. Nothing Privately Owned No one owns property in Russia. Factories, houses, banks, churches, everything tangible belongs to the government. The revolution overturned in a night the law of centuries and the result today is a nation trying to-find itself; ■ So determined are the officials to 'stamp. out everything connected "with :the rule of the Czars that it is unlawful to quote in a court of justice any law in existence previous to the revolution. Simple Court Procedure Dr. Morrison had a kind word for the present day. manne^ of conducting trials in Russia. The Judge sits between two civilians and the lawyers for the prosecution and defense hand up their reasons for asking acquittal or conviction. The Judge reads these opinions and questions the witnesses and the defendant. The two laymen and the Judge render the verdict. It is all so simple. Fourteen cases were disposed of, in one week. Few guilty persons escape. AH Dress Alike The minute you enter the famous city of Moscow. you realize that you are apart from the big world outside. Men and. wtimen dress simply and frocks adorn the'l men. You feel, immediately that the role of working- man is the popular one. Such dress -[Continued'1 on back page] SAW QUEEN MARIE ACCEPT PERFUME VALUED AT $50 Queen Marie of -Rumania, who is rushing home to frustrate an alleged plot to restore former Crown Prince Carol as heir to the throne, is carrying among her luggage a bottle of perfume valued at $50. It was while Dale Shanafelt of North Canton was in Chicago that he saw a representative of the Wie- boldt store present the perfume to the Queen while she sat in her limousine. HMLDING HAD OPEN HOUSE Visitors Went Away Satisfied With Everything They Saw. Every department of the Community Building showed examples of their work to the visitors at the "open house" on Wednesday evening. A fair-sized crowd .came in to see the events of the evening and went away thoroughly satisfied'that a high standard of work was beingrcarried on in the different programs* put an by the departments. A-good many :of the events "took place in..the' gymnasium where most of the crowd was gathered during the evening. The first stunt on the program was a little play put on by the tots in the kindergarten class, under the supervision of Miss Harper, the kindergarten teacher. Miss Harper is to be commended upon the fine type of work she is carrying on in the kindergarten classes. The children seem to like her methods of work. Girls In Athletics Second on the program was the exhibition by the girls, under the direction of Miss Blanchard. They gave a fine exhibition of their work in calisthenics, marching to music, developing rhythm and co-ordination of muscles. They ended their period by several relay races which were highly interesting to the on-lookers. Volley Ball Games Next on the program was aii exhibition of volley-ball between teams selected from the noon-day class and the five-thirty class. After volleying back and forth for quite a while the noon-day group finally came out victorious, by two games to one. The Preps, represented by the Black Hawk club, gave an exhibition of tumbling and apparatus work. ■Other Activities , The next stunt in the-gym was a little act put on by the "Overall iris" from the cast of "All Aboard.1' This clever little stunt showed, quite plainly the possibilities of acting that can be found among home talent. A game of basketball by the high school Scouts ended the activities in the gym. Chess and Checkers In the main lobby during the evening various checker games and chess tournaments were carried on, and those having leanings toward those pastimes were able to satisfy all their desires. Claud Taylor and Judge Johnson manipulated the.chess pawns and C. A. Weirich and John Gat opposed each other at checkers... These four men are consideredr "too. good" for many so-called professionals, and they' play-.'exceptionally well. If he kept in practice it would be a hard^ job- finding a man to beatiWeirich of North Canton. .->•*.\ ; [Continued on. back page] CLEVER STAGE WORK Girlish Beauty, Good Singing and Dancing and Bright Lines In "All Aboard" Put It Across Without a Jarring Note. DELIGHTED LARGE CROWD A large and-appreciative audience applauded frequently the cast in "All Aboard" on Friday night in the Community Building when it was presented under the auspices of The Woman's Club of North Canton as one of the ways of raising money to swell the North Canton Libraray fund. Miss Margaret Stanforth of Hillsboro, Ohio, coached the players, all of them residents of this town, and her work was well done. 'Everyone, from the youngsters in the kindergarten (who posed as nymphs and witches) to tlie leading characters, contributed their services gratis, among the number being Fred Hall, who secured permission from Fiber & Shay, theatrical producers of New York"city, to withdraw from the 'cast of the Grand Players at the Grand theatre, Canton, for one'week, "to work for the club of which iriother js a member." The story of the play is that "Billy Brady, a college boy,' has lost four upper teeth in a football game. To get used to his new set of false ones, he takes a boat trip with his sister, Dorothy. On board the boat is his sweetheart, Beatrice, who is traveling with her mother, Mrs. Sloane. During his proposal to Beatrice he accidentally Iqses his false set. In desperation he steals all the false sets on board." Trouble Begins Fred Hall was Billy Brady, and Billy's sister, Dorothy (Mario Bouchie) went on the trip to be near Johnny Thomas (Carl Eschbach). Beatrice's mother (Mrs. Frank Evans) pretty and dainty, but watchful of her daughter (Mrs. Leona Hollinger) began to look with frigid eyes on Brady after Johnny Thomas had dropped a few hints that Brady had several wives and children. It was then the trouble began, and poor Billy, madly in love with Beatrice, couldn't explain .. away the charges against his character because he lost his teeth on the deck when the skipper of the vessel, Captain Kidd (Leo Voneman) accidentally struck him in -the back. -Jenny, the stewardess, a Swede (Dorothy Stone) was rega'rded with favor by the passengers until she began to "ball things up," and then. they voted her a first-class Dumb Dora. Put Pep Into Play Mrs. Evans, Mrs. Hollinger and Miss Bouchie put plenty of action into the parts assigned them, as did Fred Hall, Carl Eschabach, Harry Weiandj Raymond Deible and William Deiblc. Weinand was a colored porter (Alexander C. Phome) and his witty cracks drew many laughs. The Deible brothers, as sailors, also made a hit with the big crowd, so did Carl Eschbach. with his singing and acting. He hasva- good voice. As skipper of the ship, Leo Voneman'carried himself with dignity befitting'. rthe_ position, and "Dorothy Stone proved that a bright, capable! ,,...,.

St. Paul's Church Hall will be the scene of tlie performance on Friday night, and the Community Building, on Saturday night. If you want to have a good laugh, or a lot of them; we prescribe St. Paul's Choir Minstrels. The Sun could fill this column about tho clever fellows you will see in this show, and another column to tell about the brand of music I'M Ream can make the piano do, but it isn't necessary. Any fair-minded person who sat in front of the minstrels when they gave their performance in St. Paul's hall last year knows that it was the real thing and that there wasn't a phony line or act in the whole performance. Turn to page seven of this issue of The Sun and you will find the prices of admittance and where to secure tickets. WED IN CLEVELAND Lester L. Richards Brings His Bride To North Canton.

Morrison, editor of the Christian Century, discussed Russian affairs from the pulpit of the Community Christian church on Sunday night. He was with Dr. Eddy's party last summer and spent six weeks in Soviet Russia. Dr. Morrison said that while it is true that atheists are at the head of the government, nevertheless they permit freedom in religious worship, although it is contrary to law for any denomination^to own church property. All contributions must be made when .the deacons pass the plates during the services. Pledges are unlawful. Sunday-Schools Sunday-schools in churches are not objectionable to the Communists in charge of affairs there if the churches are "independent," meaning they have hroken away from the Greek^Ortho- dox church of the former Czars. Hungry For Education - The Russians are hungry for education, and strange though it may seem, the government leaders have accepted the advanced ideas of American teachers of high standing. The drawback is that Russia cannot import teachers because foreigners do jiot know the language well enough to instruct the- young. , The government, however, is training men and women to become teachers, although lack of money retards this laudable movement. Under the Czars many millions of Russians were unable to read or write, but with the Communists in control improvement is noticeable and about 30 per cent, of the young* people are able to read. Nothing Privately Owned No one owns property in Russia. Factories, houses, banks, churches, everything tangible belongs to the government. The revolution overturned in a night the law of centuries and the result today is a nation trying to-find itself; ■ So determined are the officials to 'stamp. out everything connected "with :the rule of the Czars that it is unlawful to quote in a court of justice any law in existence previous to the revolution. Simple Court Procedure Dr. Morrison had a kind word for the present day. manne^ of conducting trials in Russia. The Judge sits between two civilians and the lawyers for the prosecution and defense hand up their reasons for asking acquittal or conviction. The Judge reads these opinions and questions the witnesses and the defendant. The two laymen and the Judge render the verdict. It is all so simple. Fourteen cases were disposed of, in one week. Few guilty persons escape. AH Dress Alike The minute you enter the famous city of Moscow. you realize that you are apart from the big world outside.

It was while Dale Shanafelt of North Canton was in Chicago that he saw a representative of the Wie- boldt store present the perfume to the Queen while she sat in her limousine. HMLDING HAD OPEN HOUSE Visitors Went Away Satisfied With Everything They Saw. Every department of the Community Building showed examples of their work to the visitors at the "open house" on Wednesday evening. A fair-sized crowd .came in to see the events of the evening and went away thoroughly satisfied'that a high standard of work was beingrcarried on in the different programs* put an by the departments. A-good many :of the events "took place in..the' gymnasium where most of the crowd was gathered during the evening. The first stunt on the program was a little play put on by the tots in the kindergarten class, under the supervision of Miss Harper, the kindergarten teacher. Miss Harper is to be commended upon the fine type of work she is carrying on in the kindergarten classes. The children seem to like her methods of work. Girls In Athletics Second on the program was the exhibition by the girls, under the direction of Miss Blanchard. They gave a fine exhibition of their work in calisthenics, marching to music, developing rhythm and co-ordination of muscles. They ended their period by several relay races which were highly interesting to the on-lookers. Volley Ball Games Next on the program was aii exhibition of volley-ball between teams selected from the noon-day class and the five-thirty class. After volleying back and forth for quite a while the noon-day group finally came out victorious, by two games to one. The Preps, represented by the Black Hawk club, gave an exhibition of tumbling and apparatus work. ■Other Activities , The next stunt in the-gym was a little act put on by the "Overall iris" from the cast of "All Aboard.1' This clever little stunt showed, quite plainly the possibilities of acting that can be found among home talent. A game of basketball by the high school Scouts ended the activities in the gym. Chess and Checkers In the main lobby during the evening various checker games and chess tournaments were carried on, and those having leanings toward those pastimes were able to satisfy all their desires. Claud Taylor and Judge Johnson manipulated the.chess pawns and C. A. Weirich and John Gat opposed each other at checkers... These four men are consideredr "too. good" for many so-called professionals, and they' play-.'exceptionally well. If he kept in practice it would be a hard^ job- finding a man to beatiWeirich of North Canton. .->•*.\ ; [Continued on. back page] CLEVER STAGE WORK Girlish Beauty, Good Singing and Dancing and Bright Lines In "All Aboard" Put It Across Without a Jarring Note. DELIGHTED LARGE CROWD A large and-appreciative audience applauded frequently the cast in "All Aboard" on Friday night in the Community Building when it was presented under the auspices of The Woman's Club of North Canton as one of the ways of raising money to swell the North Canton Libraray fund. Miss Margaret Stanforth of Hillsboro, Ohio, coached the players, all of them residents of this town, and her work was well done. 'Everyone, from the youngsters in the kindergarten (who posed as nymphs and witches) to tlie leading characters, contributed their services gratis, among the number being Fred Hall, who secured permission from Fiber & Shay, theatrical producers of New York"city, to withdraw from the 'cast of the Grand Players at the Grand theatre, Canton, for one'week, "to work for the club of which iriother js a member." The story of the play is that "Billy Brady, a college boy,' has lost four upper teeth in a football game. To get used to his new set of false ones, he takes a boat trip with his sister, Dorothy. On board the boat is his sweetheart, Beatrice, who is traveling with her mother, Mrs. Sloane. During his proposal to Beatrice he accidentally Iqses his false set. In desperation he steals all the false sets on board." Trouble Begins Fred Hall was Billy Brady, and Billy's sister, Dorothy (Mario Bouchie) went on the trip to be near Johnny Thomas (Carl Eschbach). Beatrice's mother (Mrs. Frank Evans) pretty and dainty, but watchful of her daughter (Mrs. Leona Hollinger) began to look with frigid eyes on Brady after Johnny Thomas had dropped a few hints that Brady had several wives and children. It was then the trouble began, and poor Billy, madly in love with Beatrice, couldn't explain .. away the charges against his character because he lost his teeth on the deck when the skipper of the vessel, Captain Kidd (Leo Voneman) accidentally struck him in -the back. -Jenny, the stewardess, a Swede (Dorothy Stone) was rega'rded with favor by the passengers until she began to "ball things up," and then. they voted her a first-class Dumb Dora. Put Pep Into Play Mrs. Evans, Mrs. Hollinger and Miss Bouchie put plenty of action into the parts assigned them, as did Fred Hall, Carl Eschabach, Harry Weiandj Raymond Deible and William Deiblc. Weinand was a colored porter (Alexander C. Phome) and his witty cracks drew many laughs. The Deible brothers, as sailors, also made a hit with the big crowd, so did Carl Eschbach. with his singing and acting. He hasva- good voice. As skipper of the ship, Leo Voneman'carried himself with dignity befitting'. rthe_ position, and "Dorothy Stone proved that a bright, capable! ,,...,.
