THANKSGIVING DAY
North Canton Pastors and the
Members of Young People's
Societies Will Meet In Houses
of Worship and Offer Thanks.
REUNIONS IN MANY HOMES
Thanksgiving day will be fittingly
and ' reverently observed in the
churches in North Canton, and this
year members of young people's societies will take an active part in
thanking the Creator of All Things
for His Kindness to them. 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. How
. many will do it?.
An early union thanksgiving service
has been.arranged, in which all can
^■tih. It willbe'at 7:30, o'clock in the
morning on. Thanksgiving.-day and
will be held.in,the Christian church.
A-varied program will make the service interesting and it is early enough
hot tp interfere with that turkey dinner.
Community Christian
Attention is called to the Thanksgiving; service at the church at 7:30
Thanksgiving. morning. This service
;-will be under the direction of the
young people's societies of the
churches.
St. Paul's
On Thanksgiving. Day, in accordance with the proclamation of our
Chief Executive, the people of St.
Paul's parish will gather in church to
assist at a high Mass of Thanksgiving
• to be sung by the Pastor. After the
Mass Benediction will be given, during which Bishop Carroll's prayer for
the civil and religious authorities will
be recited. This Thanksgiving service
will begin at 8:00 a. m.
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.

HURT, GETS $400
A. B. Longnecker of Wadsworth,
Ohio, received $400 last week for injuries received in. an auto accident.
Longnecker is insured inirhe Woodmen
Accident Company of Lincoln, Ne-*
braska. H. W. Schwab, 705 Ninth
street,. N.E., Canton, is. the agent, and'
Kenneth Willaman of North:' Canton
is collector for this neighborhood.
Rev. Dr. C. C. 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

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. .->•*.\

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!

OTHER   CLASSY  FEATURES
St. Paul's Male Choir is keyed up
to the top notch and is "Rarin to go"
in its annual Minstrels. 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.
