ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH [By the Pastor] "Character ancl Character Building" was the general subject discussed by the Luther League on Sunday evening under the leadership of Lowell Adams. A good attendance ancl a fine discussion of the subject marked this meeting. We appreciate the promptness of those in attendance; let's keep it up. After the inspiring convention enjoyed Thanksgiving week a new interest in our work should be taken by all of our young people.

Our next, meeting will be held one week from Sunday evening, Mrs. Catherine Danner, leader. Our Sunday-school attendance took a slump last Sunday. Why should a little snow ahd ice keep so many away from Bible study? We have three more Sundays to complete our records for 1926. We have been on the upgrade throughout the year, let us not become slack as we are near- ing the goal. The winter months are the test of your loyalty to our Bible school and of your real desire to study the Word. Some seem to be forgetting we begin at 9 a. m. A little more promptness on part of teachers ancl pupils is much needed. Be on time. Nominations for the annual election of officers have been completed by the church vestry and- the congregation. This election will be held at the annual meeting on January 1. A congregational dinner will be served by the ladies of the congregation at the church on New Year's day.

Sermon;subject, "The Church and the Home." o COMMUNITY CHRISTIAN CHURCH [By the Pastor] Christmas is coming, ancl Santa is near; it is time to be good. Monday night Margaret and Bill went to Albert Conrad's to hear Santa over the radio. He was speaking for Cleveland and he actually called Margaret's name out—"Hello, Margaret Cossaboom." So we all hacl better be good if we do not want to offend him before Ghristmas. Yes, it is near, and here are other reasons. Thursday night of this very week the women of the Church are giving their annual bazaar and chicken supper, and that is a sure enough reason to believe that Christmas is drawing near. Then our bulletin board says that a White Christmas program is planned for Sunday night, December 12. This service will be given by'the young people of the church, and at this service gifts will be brought for benevolence, material i gifts of food and money and gifts of i self. This will be a very attractive service as well as a very spiritual. one. - ! The bulletin board also says that a matin service is being prepared for Christmas morning at 6:30. This will be a worship service consisting of music and other great elements "of worship. The church decorating com-! mittee has met and planned the decorations which will blend nicely into; these services. j These are reasons sufficient to con-' vince even the most incredulous that! Christmas is near and that we all had' better be good. , . I F. K. Scheaffer is representing the' church at a committee meeting called I to settle upon some, basketbair teams for the winter. Air. Schaeffer is a I basketball player Tof experience and i will be of good service to the teams. The Servicfe committee, with the' I take this means of thanking, through The Sun, the people of North Canton, and. especially the Zion Reformed church, for their hearty support and congratulations in the recent Peace Contest. Though I did not win in the County contest I feel, as some great poet has said, "Who does the best he can always, does well—act nobly—angels could do no more." VELMA SAYLOR. men who serve in the different committees, are invited to the church on Friday night for fellowship and service consideration. Some program is planned and refreshments will be served.

The Bible study was an especially interesting one, and showed to us again in vivid pictures the result and reward of true'faithfulness and love. Great ancl untold blessings will come to those who join their lot with the people of God. The annual election of Sunday- school officers took place.

The' Christmas program. of the [Continued on next column] CHRISTMAS SEALS SEEN EVERYWHERE Mayor Becher Is Helping Boost the Little Stickers—Mrs. R. C. Willigmann Feels North Canton Will Do Its Share. FIGHTING TUBERCULOSIS Mrs. R. C. Willigmann, general chairman, expressed her appreciation of the action of The Ladies' Literary club in backing to-the limit the sale of Christmas seals in North Canton and its vicinity. "This is a cause that deserves the support of everyone," said Mrs. Willigmann, "ancl in North Canton it is easier to sell seals than in many other towns, 1 have been told. As you know, the object is to raise money for the purpose of fighting the dreaded disease known as tuberculosis. Fortunately the cases are few here, but there are many places where the inhabitants suffer from it. "North Canton, I feel sure, will live up to its past record as a contributor and /supporter of everything for the public welfare. Our people are prosperous, generous and intelligent, consequently they realize that they are doing humanity a seryice by buying Christmas seals." Mayor Becher a Booster Maj/or Logan W. Becher is another booster for the little stickers. "It is a great work men and women are doing in behalf of the sick and it deserves the support of the public," he said to a writer for The Sun. "What appeals to me,''- he added, "is that the sale of these seals gives an honest and capable organization the funds to nip tuberculosis when it first appears. Prevention is what we need when clanger of any kind threatens, not waiting until it takes firm root." Supports County Nurse The money realized from tlie purchase of Christmas seals, according to Arthur Koch, executive secretary of the Stark County Public Health League, supports a nurse in this county who gives her entire time to the care and prevention of tuberculosis in the county. There is a nurse doing similar work in Canton, Massillon, ancl Alliance. Their combined efforts at the present time show 254 active cases. - • Have Bonds For Sale Mrs. Cora Steel, chairman of fraternal organizations, and trade unions, antl Mrs. Thurman Smith, chairman for clubs, are presentating to various groups, an opportunity of buying health bonds.

Mays Will Charge 50 Cents Straight. The two barber shops in North Canton, one owned by "Mike" Metzler, and the other by E. R. Mays, have decided to change the prevailing scale of prices, beginning Dec. 15, to conform with standard union prices. After the above date all haircuts, including ladies' shingle bobs, will cose 50 cents. This is a reduction of 10 cents for the ladies ancl an increase of 10 cents for the men. So, as a matter of fact, it makes little or no difference in the accounts of the boss barbers except to keep their shops in line with the standard prices. The boss barbel's of North Canton have long enjoyed a reputation for fair dealing and keeping sanitary and up to date tonsorial parlors. Their workmen are courteous and competent. If they were otherwise they would not stay long in the employ of Mike or Mays. The barbers of North Canton have shops that would do credit to a large city and they well deserve the support they are receiving.

Why should a little snow ahd ice keep so many away from Bible study? We have three more Sundays to complete our records for 1926. We have been on the upgrade throughout the year, let us not become slack as we are near- ing the goal. The winter months are the test of your loyalty to our Bible school and of your real desire to study the Word. Some seem to be forgetting we begin at 9 a. m.

Monday night Margaret and Bill went to Albert Conrad's to hear Santa over the radio. He was speaking for Cleveland and he actually called Margaret's name out—"Hello, Margaret Cossaboom." So we all hacl better be good if we do not want to offend him before Ghristmas. Yes, it is near, and here are other reasons.

Then our bulletin board says that a White Christmas program is planned for Sunday night, December 12. This service will be given by'the young people of the church, and at this service gifts will be brought for benevolence, material i gifts of food and money and gifts of i self.

This will be a worship service consisting of music and other great elements "of worship. The church decorating com-! mittee has met and planned the decorations which will blend nicely into; these services. j These are reasons sufficient to con-' vince even the most incredulous that! Christmas is near and that we all had' better be good. , . I F. K. Scheaffer is representing the' church at a committee meeting called I to settle upon some, basketbair teams for the winter. Air.

FIGHTING TUBERCULOSIS Mrs. R. C. Willigmann, general chairman, expressed her appreciation of the action of The Ladies' Literary club in backing to-the limit the sale of Christmas seals in North Canton and its vicinity. "This is a cause that deserves the support of everyone," said Mrs. Willigmann, "ancl in North Canton it is easier to sell seals than in many other towns, 1 have been told. As you know, the object is to raise money for the purpose of fighting the dreaded disease known as tuberculosis. Fortunately the cases are few here, but there are many places where the inhabitants suffer from it. "North Canton, I feel sure, will live up to its past record as a contributor and /supporter of everything for the public welfare. Our people are prosperous, generous and intelligent, consequently they realize that they are doing humanity a seryice by buying Christmas seals." Mayor Becher a Booster Maj/or Logan W. Becher is another booster for the little stickers. "It is a great work men and women are doing in behalf of the sick and it deserves the support of the public," he said to a writer for The Sun. "What appeals to me,''- he added, "is that the sale of these seals gives an honest and capable organization the funds to nip tuberculosis when it first appears. Prevention is what we need when clanger of any kind threatens, not waiting until it takes firm root." Supports County Nurse The money realized from tlie purchase of Christmas seals, according to Arthur Koch, executive secretary of the Stark County Public Health League, supports a nurse in this county who gives her entire time to the care and prevention of tuberculosis in the county. There is a nurse doing similar work in Canton, Massillon, ancl Alliance. Their combined efforts at the present time show 254 active cases. - • Have Bonds For Sale Mrs. Cora Steel, chairman of fraternal organizations, and trade unions, antl Mrs. Thurman Smith, chairman for clubs, are presentating to various groups, an opportunity of buying health bonds.

Mays Will Charge 50 Cents Straight. The two barber shops in North Canton, one owned by "Mike" Metzler, and the other by E. R. Mays, have decided to change the prevailing scale of prices, beginning Dec. 15, to conform with standard union prices. After the above date all haircuts, including ladies' shingle bobs, will cose 50 cents. This is a reduction of 10 cents for the ladies ancl an increase of 10 cents for the men. So, as a matter of fact, it makes little or no difference in the accounts of the boss barbers except to keep their shops in line with the standard prices. The boss barbel's of North Canton have long enjoyed a reputation for fair dealing and keeping sanitary and up to date tonsorial parlors. Their workmen are courteous and competent. If they were otherwise they would not stay long in the employ of Mike or Mays. The barbers of North Canton have shops that would do credit to a large city and they well deserve the support they are receiving.
