With Audience COMMUNITY BUILDING AND ITS MEMBERSHIP Executive Secretary Williams Explains That As It Is "The Heart of North Canton" It Deserves the Support of All. A VITAL FACTOR IN LIFE Mcdonald birch The moment this chautauqua magician makes his entry, he wins the [By Secretary Williams] A lot of stress is being laid these days on what one eats, and why not? One eminent physician has said, "Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are." Isn't it true that if the materials we eat go into energy and in building tissue, that one must be careful? By the same token, what you think has a great deal to do with what you do. The Great Teacher said once upon a time, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." Could anything be truer than that? Someone else has said "The thought is father to the deed." Havenlt you found yourself doing things that surprise you, just LIST APPRIZES To Be Awarded At the Fourth Annual Flower Show In North Canton on Sept. 14 and 15. S*iM^S,= ^ ^Z/™*^^! & and girl in his audience. As one mys terious effect follows another, those who listen are filled with laughter and those who watch his dexterous moves are filled with wonder. Included in his program of mystery are spirit pictures, the floating* table, the fantasy of silks, and spirit writings. Members of the audience—both young and old—will have' an opportunity of assisting in the program of Birch, the magician, on Chautauqua's fourth afternoon in North Canton. their captains are Lela Workinger and Catherine Foltz. Letters will be given to the winning teams on the last night of chautauqua. All boys and girls, no limit on age, are welcome to take part in the sports. One of the features is the story, and the youngsters crowd around Miss Williams like bees around a patch of clover*. Looking At Miss Williams Miss Gladys Williams, Redpath chautauqua representative in charge of the junior work,'resides in Columbus, and was graduated from Ohio State. She will leave for Columbia University, New York, next week where she is studying for a Master's degree. She is a handsome young woman with much charm of manner, very fond of children, and possesses intelligence of a high order; in fact it is no exaggeration to say that she has proved one of the most popular and capable leaders Junior Town ever had in this part of Ohio. Assisting her, and most capably, too, are Miss Marjorie Manchester and Miss Katherine McCamant. Miss Williams would appreciate it if parents will drop around and watch- their children at play» if only for a few minutes, just to give them an idea of the work and the way she carries it forward. WARNslilLDREN Marshal Bachtel Points Out Danger of Skating On Streets. "A child on roller skates is taking a long chance trying to cross Main street or the streets nearby," said Marshal Bachtel this Wednesday niorning. "Yesterday a little girl darted by me and one of her skates slipped when she was at the car tracks. It makes me sweat when I think how close she was to injury or death." Then he related several instances of narrow escapes. "I wish you would ask parents, through the columns of The Sun, to tell their children that it is going to be extremely dangerous , around the Square and on Portage ^ent of North Canton over to the; street after school opens, and that the officers of Junior Town, and they will*! wisest thing to do is to leave the act as Mayor, Marshal and policemen. Of course the real Mayor of North Canton will be close at hand in the event that any part of the proletariat displays a disposition to "cut up." Ditto Marshal Bachtel and his trusty lieutenants. But it is good training far the youngsters and impresses the meaning of responsibility, something .-everyone, should know ..and have if they are going to be worth anything in a community. Picnic In Tent The Weather Man frowned this Wednesday morning and the impression prevailed around town that he- was .going to drop a heavy shower of rain. Evidently Mies Gladys Williams, Junior Town leader, looked .skyward, for a little later the sun began to peep,- and then broke out in all its glory. Score another one for Miss Williams. She just smiles, and even - the grumpy old Weather Man is compelled to-relax his features and give her the brand of weather she wants. Clever girl, Miss Williams, in a dozen ways. Well, it did not rain, and the picnic in the tent scheduled for noon was a howling success. Children aged 9 and •under, took part, and in the language they do not print in well-regulated newspapers except within quotation marks, "a good time was had by all." Tomorrow (Thursday) morning a breakfast hike is on the program for "the older boys and girls." Atheltic Sports A baseball tournament opened this Wednesday morning. Captains Kenneth Oberlin and Gordon Swop? chose their teams on Tuesday. The girls Aave a baseball tournament, too, and |west roller skates at home, "The police department naturally wants to protect children, but it is a hard job when they rush by at great speed. I trust parents will see the danger and send their children te school without roller skates," said the marshal. APPRECIATES SUPPORT Redpath Chautauqua Publicity Head Thanks The Sun. Editors The Sun: We want to take this opportunity of expressing our appreciation of your customary strong support of chautauqua. Cordially yours, GEORGE G. WHITEHEAD, Publicity Director Redpath Chautauqua, Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 29, 1927. o Fred* Casady In Town Fred Casady, former executive secretary of the Community Building, was in North Canton on Tuesday night and attended the chautauqua play. He is looking in "the pink" and said he was prospering in Indiana, he having a chain of high-class moving picture houses. Fred declared he was giving a number of boys a "treat",in the shape of, a trip over several states. He was warmly greeted by a number of people. that you unconsciously acted ? Rea( ing* is thinking another's thought;; after him. What you read has a great deal to do with what you think. Applying the Test What one feeds himself all the time' will determine what he will do in tlie spare time when he hasn't anything to do. That is the biggest test that can be.applied to anyone. All this is preliminary to what is now coming, and that is that so many people of this community do not seem to realize what they have in their midst, and what it can do for them. .. The Community Building is more than a building. It is more tlian a place to go, more than a place to loaf, more than a place to play games, more than a place to congregate or just to hold committee meetings. It is a vital factor in the life of the community now, and as an influence in the years to come. When it is characterized as "The Heart of North Canton" it ought to be just that. It ought to give life. It is dedicated to the physical, mental and spiritual betterment of the community. What it is, is what you make it What do you want it to do ? Everybody Is Welcome It may not be well understood that everybody is welcome and invited to the Community Building. Of course, everything is not free. Even one has to pay for such things as funeral expenses. There are some things which are privileges of membership. The fees charged for membership do not pay for all the expense incurred, but are purposely kept low so that everyone can enjoy them. Membership in the -Community Building is not an obligation, it is a privilege. It is something that ought not to require urging. In many, many cases it is not necessary to solicit. There is an increasing number of men and women in North Canton who add their strength to this enterprise in this way. There is a smaller and smaller number who take membership and then try to get out of paying for it or refuse to pay for it The "beater" is becoming more and more in public disfavor. It Is Your Building So use your Community Building. It is yours and will stand in the com- muriitytifor just what you want it to stand for. If you want it to amount to something, get in and make it do it. If you want to beat your community, beat your town, beat yourself, then decide that you can get along without the Community Building and let the other fellow carry the load and pay the bills. I wonder if what was saftl in the opening paragraphs of this ai*ticle hasn't some practical application to this laBt The fourth annual flower show under the auspices of.The Woman's Club of North Canton to be held on Wednesday and Thursday, .Sept. 14 and 15, has a number of -prizes to award for the following: , ,,, •', First, second-. third and special awards will be given for the four best specimens, one color, of any one variety of the following flowers: Rose, Dahlia, Aster, Zinnia, Gladiolus, Marigold, Calendula, Scabiosa, Straw- flower, Snapdragon, Lily, Coxcomb, Galardia, Delphinium.

The Rev. Karl H. Beck, nephew of the Rev. E. M. Beck, related to a numerous congregation in his uncle's church, Zion Reformed, on Sunday night, the story of his being kidnapped by Chinese bandits and spending seventeen days as the guest of the outlaws. With Mr. Beck in his captivity were two young women missionaries, and they, too, displayed a fine spirit and much bravery during* the trying ordeal. No .one will accuse the Rev. Karl H. Beck of being boastful, dramatic or a settev-up of stage heroics; quite the opposite. In fact at times he seems more inclined to belittle the danger he and his companions encountered, and when he explains that he did not attempt to escape because it might endanger the lives—or perhaps something worse—of the two young women with him his manner i.s that of a genial young man who simply feels that any other course would be most reprehensible. Seized By Bandits Although warned that an escort of troops was the only safe mode of travel, the missionaries, about 1G in number, started for their respective stations, expecting to overtake a large fleet of boats guarded by soldiers. But when they reached a certain point they were told that the fleet was far in the lead. The Chinese boatmen were tired and Mr. Beck assisted in pushing his boat, with the result that at the end he was "all in," and sat down to rest. He fell asleep. A little later he was awakened and found himself looking into a revolver. Word had been received to take one man and two young women prisoners and hold them for ransom. Their clothing was confiscated, also their jewelry, bed clothing and everything of value on the boats. The three captives were taken into the woods and later up the sides of mountains where a misstep in the dark meant certain death hundreds of feet below. Threatened With Death At times Mr. Beck was threatened with death, but he succeeded in winning the goodwill of his captors, and his two companions kept cheerful in spite of squalid surroundings. Several times they went a whole day without food or water, but they never lost faith, and they even gave titles to their guards, one of whom they called Sir Walter Raleigh, because he had attired himself in a woman's stockings and hat. In the meantime their friends were busy, and thanks to the pastor of a church (a converted Chinese) and other agencies, among them being his brother, a missionary, and a former Chinese bandit chief, they were released on the payment of $1,000, instead of $100,000 and a number of machine guns as originally demanded. It was a dramatic recital, even though Mr. Beck did laugh heartily at times when narrating the amusing features. There were moments, however, when his face became serious, and he would say, "Well, I'll pass over this and tell you about." Then you knew that a brave man was putting the best looking features forward and holding* the disagreeable ones in the background. His friends in North Canton were pleased to hear his uncle say that his nephew had accepted a charge in GRANGERS NOMINATE HOLL FOR DELEGATE Clarence C.

A VITAL FACTOR IN LIFE Mcdonald birch The moment this chautauqua magician makes his entry, he wins the [By Secretary Williams] A lot of stress is being laid these days on what one eats, and why not? One eminent physician has said, "Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are." Isn't it true that if the materials we eat go into energy and in building tissue, that one must be careful? By the same token, what you think has a great deal to do with what you do. The Great Teacher said once upon a time, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." Could anything be truer than that? Someone else has said "The thought is father to the deed."

Included in his program of mystery are spirit pictures, the floating* table, the fantasy of silks, and spirit writings. Members of the audience—both young and old—will have' an opportunity of assisting in the program of Birch, the magician, on Chautauqua's fourth afternoon in North Canton. their captains are Lela Workinger and Catherine Foltz. Letters will be given to the winning teams on the last night of chautauqua. All boys and girls, no limit on age, are welcome to take part in the sports. One of the features is the story, and the youngsters crowd around Miss Williams like bees around a patch of clover*. Looking At Miss Williams Miss Gladys Williams, Redpath chautauqua representative in charge of the junior work,'resides in Columbus, and was graduated from Ohio State. She will leave for Columbia University, New York, next week where she is studying for a Master's degree. She is a handsome young woman with much charm of manner, very fond of children, and possesses intelligence of a high order; in fact it is no exaggeration to say that she has proved one of the most popular and capable leaders Junior Town ever had in this part of Ohio. Assisting her, and most capably, too, are Miss Marjorie Manchester and Miss Katherine McCamant. Miss Williams would appreciate it if parents will drop around and watch- their children at play» if only for a few minutes, just to give them an idea of the work and the way she carries it forward. WARNslilLDREN Marshal Bachtel Points Out Danger of Skating On Streets. "A child on roller skates is taking a long chance trying to cross Main street or the streets nearby," said Marshal Bachtel this Wednesday niorning. "Yesterday a little girl darted by me and one of her skates slipped when she was at the car tracks. It makes me sweat when I think how close she was to injury or death." Then he related several instances of narrow escapes. "I wish you would ask parents, through the columns of The Sun, to tell their children that it is going to be extremely dangerous , around the Square and on Portage ^ent of North Canton over to the; street after school opens, and that the officers of Junior Town, and they will*! wisest thing to do is to leave the act as Mayor, Marshal and policemen. Of course the real Mayor of North Canton will be close at hand in the event that any part of the proletariat displays a disposition to "cut up." Ditto Marshal Bachtel and his trusty lieutenants. But it is good training far the youngsters and impresses the meaning of responsibility, something .-everyone, should know ..and have if they are going to be worth anything in a community. Picnic In Tent The Weather Man frowned this Wednesday morning and the impression prevailed around town that he- was .going to drop a heavy shower of rain. Evidently Mies Gladys Williams, Junior Town leader, looked .skyward, for a little later the sun began to peep,- and then broke out in all its glory. Score another one for Miss Williams. She just smiles, and even - the grumpy old Weather Man is compelled to-relax his features and give her the brand of weather she wants. Clever girl, Miss Williams, in a dozen ways. Well, it did not rain, and the picnic in the tent scheduled for noon was a howling success. Children aged 9 and •under, took part, and in the language they do not print in well-regulated newspapers except within quotation marks, "a good time was had by all." Tomorrow (Thursday) morning a breakfast hike is on the program for "the older boys and girls." Atheltic Sports A baseball tournament opened this Wednesday morning. Captains Kenneth Oberlin and Gordon Swop? chose their teams on Tuesday. The girls Aave a baseball tournament, too, and |west roller skates at home, "The police department naturally wants to protect children, but it is a hard job when they rush by at great speed. I trust parents will see the danger and send their children te school without roller skates," said the marshal. APPRECIATES SUPPORT Redpath Chautauqua Publicity Head Thanks The Sun. Editors The Sun: We want to take this opportunity of expressing our appreciation of your customary strong support of chautauqua. Cordially yours, GEORGE G. WHITEHEAD, Publicity Director Redpath Chautauqua, Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 29, 1927. o Fred* Casady In Town Fred Casady, former executive secretary of the Community Building, was in North Canton on Tuesday night and attended the chautauqua play. He is looking in "the pink" and said he was prospering in Indiana, he having a chain of high-class moving picture houses. Fred declared he was giving a number of boys a "treat",in the shape of, a trip over several states. He was warmly greeted by a number of people. that you unconsciously acted ? Rea( ing* is thinking another's thought;; after him. What you read has a great deal to do with what you think. Applying the Test What one feeds himself all the time' will determine what he will do in tlie spare time when he hasn't anything to do. That is the biggest test that can be.applied to anyone. All this is preliminary to what is now coming, and that is that so many people of this community do not seem to realize what they have in their midst, and what it can do for them. .. The Community Building is more than a building. It is more tlian a place to go, more than a place to loaf, more than a place to play games, more than a place to congregate or just to hold committee meetings. It is a vital factor in the life of the community now, and as an influence in the years to come. When it is characterized as "The Heart of North Canton" it ought to be just that. It ought to give life. It is dedicated to the physical, mental and spiritual betterment of the community. What it is, is what you make it What do you want it to do ? Everybody Is Welcome It may not be well understood that everybody is welcome and invited to the Community Building. Of course, everything is not free. Even one has to pay for such things as funeral expenses. There are some things which are privileges of membership. The fees charged for membership do not pay for all the expense incurred, but are purposely kept low so that everyone can enjoy them. Membership in the -Community Building is not an obligation, it is a privilege. It is something that ought not to require urging. In many, many cases it is not necessary to solicit. There is an increasing number of men and women in North Canton who add their strength to this enterprise in this way. There is a smaller and smaller number who take membership and then try to get out of paying for it or refuse to pay for it The "beater" is becoming more and more in public disfavor. It Is Your Building So use your Community Building. It is yours and will stand in the com- muriitytifor just what you want it to stand for. If you want it to amount to something, get in and make it do it. If you want to beat your community, beat your town, beat yourself, then decide that you can get along without the Community Building and let the other fellow carry the load and pay the bills.

The Rev. Karl H. Beck, nephew of the Rev. E. M. Beck, related to a numerous congregation in his uncle's church, Zion Reformed, on Sunday night, the story of his being kidnapped by Chinese bandits and spending seventeen days as the guest of the outlaws. With Mr. Beck in his captivity were two young women missionaries, and they, too, displayed a fine spirit and much bravery during* the trying ordeal. No .one will accuse the Rev. Karl H. Beck of being boastful, dramatic or a settev-up of stage heroics; quite the opposite. In fact at times he seems more inclined to belittle the danger he and his companions encountered, and when he explains that he did not attempt to escape because it might endanger the lives—or perhaps something worse—of the two young women with him his manner i.s that of a genial young man who simply feels that any other course would be most reprehensible. Seized By Bandits Although warned that an escort of troops was the only safe mode of travel, the missionaries, about 1G in number, started for their respective stations, expecting to overtake a large fleet of boats guarded by soldiers. But when they reached a certain point they were told that the fleet was far in the lead. The Chinese boatmen were tired and Mr. Beck assisted in pushing his boat, with the result that at the end he was "all in," and sat down to rest. He fell asleep. A little later he was awakened and found himself looking into a revolver. Word had been received to take one man and two young women prisoners and hold them for ransom. Their clothing was confiscated, also their jewelry, bed clothing and everything of value on the boats. The three captives were taken into the woods and later up the sides of mountains where a misstep in the dark meant certain death hundreds of feet below. Threatened With Death At times Mr. Beck was threatened with death, but he succeeded in winning the goodwill of his captors, and his two companions kept cheerful in spite of squalid surroundings. Several times they went a whole day without food or water, but they never lost faith, and they even gave titles to their guards, one of whom they called Sir Walter Raleigh, because he had attired himself in a woman's stockings and hat. In the meantime their friends were busy, and thanks to the pastor of a church (a converted Chinese) and other agencies, among them being his brother, a missionary, and a former Chinese bandit chief, they were released on the payment of $1,000, instead of $100,000 and a number of machine guns as originally demanded. It was a dramatic recital, even though Mr. Beck did laugh heartily at times when narrating the amusing features. There were moments, however, when his face became serious, and he would say, "Well, I'll pass over this and tell you about." Then you knew that a brave man was putting the best looking features forward and holding* the disagreeable ones in the background. His friends in North Canton were pleased to hear his uncle say that his nephew had accepted a charge in GRANGERS NOMINATE HOLL FOR DELEGATE Clarence C.
