The event in ancient Jerusalem which marked - the flrst Palm Sunday occurred over 1900 years ago, and has been celebrated through all the centuries that have passed into history since that sublime day which the world will never forget. We acclaim on Palm . Sunday the first great profession of love, for year by year, slowly but surely, the kingdoms of this world are becoming the Kingodm of Love, infinite and invincible. The annual report of tlie clerk of the village of North Canton for tho fiscal year ending December 3L, 1927, will be published in The Sun next week. This report covers every item of monies received and paid out and is evidence of the great care taken by the village officials to keep the expenses of a growing community at rock-bottom figures. It is excellent reading as it shows the development of the town in lights, streets, sidewalks, water supply and fife protection. And speaking of fire protection, The Sun believes that no where in Ohio is there a town the size of North Canton receiving the protection we get here, and that, too, at a price far below what it takes to keep a well equipped fire department in other towns. Sometimes this newspaper wonders if the people appreciate the North Canton Fire Department as they should, or if they just take it as a matter of course.

It may be well for readers of The Sun to- try, in imagination, to transport themselves across the centuries to that day of the remote past and endeavor to visualize its scenes in order to gain a vivid idea of what happened and of its tremendous significance to the race of men. Public Will Hear the Story In the church in North Canton and in the territory served by The Sun the pastors will tell of the crowd coming around the crest of the Mount of Olives from Bethany; they will tell of a shout different from any of tho day; they will tell of the waving of palm branches and of the Nazarene's entry into Jerusalem when He knew what would happen to Him there. All was in vain unless He took His message to Jerusalem. A Wonderful Picture Here we have a picture of a Man of indomitable will, irrepressible courage, unlimited strength, steadfastly setting His face to meet the worst that men could do to Him, and never faltering, taking His last journey that led Him from sheltered Galilee to storm-tossed Jerusalem, to danger and death. Such is the meaning of Palm Sunday to the world today. o Greentown Odd Fellows Coming Here For the First Euchre Game In a Series and Both Sides Are Confident of Victory its sincerity and public spirit during ™re f,ully. appreciate; the work he is Music Week, so that organization is dmn£> sauI the May?r not worrying about programs meeting with anything resembling a frost here next May.

The palms will be blessed immediately preceding the high Mass and the ceremony will begin at 10:15 a.m. In the Mass at this time the Passion of Our Lord according to St. Matthew will be read. The last of the series of Sunday evening Lenten sermons will be given Palm Sunday evening at 7:45. St. Rose, St. Agnes and St. Aloysius Sodalities, as well as the children of the parish, will receive holy communion in a body next Sunday at the 8 o'clock Mass. A meeting of the sodalities will be held Sunday afternoon at 2:30. The men of the Holy Name Society, both senior and junior, will receive their quarterly Communion in a body at the 8 o'clock Mass on the Sunday after Easter. The resumption of social activities in the parish after the Lenten season will be marked by a card social in St. Paul's hall on Wednesday, April 11. This party is in charge of a committee, headed by Miss Christina Frank, and is tlie fifth of a series under the auspices of members of the Confraternity. Bridge, five hundred and euchre' will be in order; a luncheon, -also, will be served. The special committee for this affair is to meet with their chairlady this Thursday evening after church services. o Community Christian Church [By tho Pastor] The program to be given on tho night of Good Friday at 7:30 is one of the most interesting items in our Easter programs, and one of general and special interest. Good Friday should be kept as a sacred day, and certainly a memorable day in the history of Christianity. The church choir, augmented by the orchestra, and with the help of Wm. Strassner of Canton and other well- known voices, will present "From Olivet to Calvary" by Maunder. This anthem or rendition is one of tlie most popular attempts to dramatize the life and especially this great period in Jesus' life, giving this dramatic episode from Olivet to Calvary. The choir is giving ample time to its preparation under the efficient and experienced leadership of Mr. Kidder. The choir, as is well known, has had sufficient experience in presenting such programs to render such a number with power and effect. Mr. Brat- ten's orchestra also has a local reputation that assures perfection in the orchestral accompaniment.

Last season's contests went to the K. of P's., but this year the Odd Fellows declare they are going to be the winners. Both sides deny it, but it is generally known that for several weeks the "boys" have been indulging in a lot of practice, and it has not all been of the kind known as "solitaire." Out For Revenge To look at the members of tho Greentown lodge one would never suspect that they had even heard the word revenge, but—and whisper this— they not only use the expression, but they pronounce it R-E-V-E-N-G-E-! And it sounds exactly as if uttered by a man wearing a black slouch hat, a black moustache and a Prince Albert. All .villains on the stage, for reasons unknown to this writer, wear black slouch hats and adorn their upper lip with a black moustache. And they grit their teeth when they tell the hero of tho piece that they will have "R-E-V-E-N-G-E-!" All of which shows that the games are going to be good ones. John Shook, Clarence McAfee and others pooh-hoo the statement that they will not be 'permitted to sit at tlie table unless they wear rubber bands around the sleeves of their coat and turn down the cuffs on their trousers. "We can beat those fellows from the placid precincts of Greentown without resorting to any conjurer's tricks," they told a writer for The Sun.. "And just to prove it to them we'll play with our sleeves rolled up, and if necessary we'll even remove our pants and shoes so they can't say wc are sticking cards into. them." But it may be they will be wiser and sadder men before the caterer announces in stentorian tones, "Lunch i.s ready!" Confer Degree With an attendance of 05 members, Hadassah lodge conferred the initiatory degree on a class of three candidates on Friday evening, March 23. Degree work was supervised by Captain M. M. Miller. On Mardi 30, the first degree will be conferred on a class of six young- men. Captain F. W. Staib, Jr., will be in charge. Capt.

Its members are modest concerning the important part they play in developing music, but the public understands and appreciates them. Four Special Nights Four special nights have been arranged for; one a school night, with the grade children putting on the musical numbers; another, with the Hoover Band offering the special selections; another, the regular movie night with several acts of vaudeville and' musical numbers. The special affair that is being arranged for is the night of singing by the Community Chorus, using the ora-' torio "Elijah." Details of these nights will be made in the near future in the columns of The Sun. The committee is composed of H. Johnson, Miss Holben, Mrs. Foster, Mrs. Kolp and' Harold Schiltz.

"Thc Belle Is Going To Be a Reai Lady"—Headline in The Sun last week. After looking at her last night wc are satisfied that she is. A full- throated lady with every charm that over bewitched a lover beneath Spanish skies. She lias vivacity and a winsome personality, that is when stageo as she was in the Community Building, otherwise she is going to be capricious with a strong leaning toward heaviness. "The Belle of Barcelona" is not for novices; indeed an average company could not make her more than a department store dummy, but in thi- hands of clever performers she is a lady to the manner born, and that is the way she appeared last night. She- had everythnig a lady ought to have, and she displayed her ..wares in tiptop style. If she overlooked anything we failed to see it, and the eyes of this writer for The Sun are not in need of an optician's services. Audience Appreciated Her The Belle was staged under thc> auspices of The Woman's club of North Canton, and local talent made her instantly popular, so popular in fact that she became a reigning belle shortly after the curtain went up until she said good night to a capacity audience. Last week some very good judges shook their heads dolefully when they heard thc Belle was out to win all hearts. "Too heavy for amateur talent,'" they murmured, but last night they clapped their hands with glee and acknowledged that as prophets they were rank, dismal failures. So the- Belle proved to bo a lady.—a real lady —even to the carping ones. Gcod Stage Effects; The stage setting and lighting arranged by William Russell of the Community Building was excellent, an orchestra composed of Mrs. Kolp. pianist; Louis Miller, lrl Bratten. Clark Wehl, Stanley Pierce, Donald Miller, Paul Evans and Daniel Berger accompanied the chorus and some oT the solos. Needless to say more; everyone knows their music was good and played with the zest necessary to- make a background for the voices. Costumes Pleasing Costumes were artistic and of tho Spanish typo, adding much to the artistic effect. Between acts little Rita Shortridge of Canton gave two solo dance numbers, the first the "Doll Dance" anif the second and later "Jazz." Miss Rita is four years old and her work was clever. During one of the choruses Mis-s Byrl Stanley of Canton did an excellent piece of Spanish dancing. A Clever Cast Each member of the cast of the Belle gave a most creditable performance. The lead was taken by Marie Bouchie, who says she is preparing to go on the stage, and her work last night was such that promises a future for her in theatrical circles if she will continue. Leota LeBeau, as an affected English governess, created much amusement and got well into the spirit of her role. Paul R. Broeske was excellent at; "tho villain" who wasn't so villainous after all. J. G. Moye showed considerable ability in expressing his unwillingness to be tho villain's accomplice. Carl Eschbach as tho successful suitor of Margarita and a representative of the U. S. A., had considerable work to do, and his singing and acting wore both in good form. William Stark, as the Irish comedian, caused a hearty laugh every inutile appeared. Sherwood Snyder as captain of the Cruiser Montana led his men and their chorus in interesting action. j William Mellen and Mrs. Frank I Evans as the charming and aristo- i crntic parents of Margarita, won; j typically ambitious and conveyed that idea quite thoroughly to thc audience. M. R. Bixler was good in his work and quite picturesque in his role as toreador and the suitor of Mercedes, sis-au- of Margarita, which part was well taken by Esther Lewis. Robert Dice ami Raymond Swope, friends of Emilio, portrayed loyalty, and June Evans and Edith Harsh wen; charming friends of the "Belle." Cast of Chorus Those in the chorus were: Dancers: |*£dith Harsh, Kay Harsh, Dorothy Young, Margaret Widdoes, June Evans, Ruth Silcr. Marine Chorus: Flagbearer, Clair Shisler, Robert Dice, Raymond Swope, Roger Bishop, Russell Youtz, George Sponseller, Jerome McCarty, Earl C. Greenho, John Van Dyke. Spanish Students: Mrs. Helen Jester, Mrs. Elizabeth Sloan, Mrs. Blanche Wehl, Mrs. Susie Pfouts, Lola. [Continued on buck page]

The annual report of tlie clerk of

is evidence of the great care taken

It is excellent reading as it shows
the development of the town in lights,

protection, The Sun believes that no
where in Ohio is there a town the size
of North Canton receiving the protection we get here, and that, too, at a

and the meaning and the implications a^J^4 a-^ttle fait better than those
of the Cross are emphasized afresh.
It may be well for readers of The
Sun to- try, in imagination, to transport themselves across the centuries
to that day of the remote past and
endeavor to visualize its scenes in
order to gain a vivid idea of what
happened and of its tremendous significance to the race of men.
Public Will Hear the Story
In the church in North Canton and
in the territory served by The Sun
the pastors will tell of the crowd
coming around the crest of the
Mount of Olives from Bethany; they
will tell of a shout different from any
of tho day; they will tell of the waving of palm branches and of the
Nazarene's entry into Jerusalem when
He knew what would happen to Him
there. All was in vain unless He took
His message to Jerusalem.
A Wonderful Picture
Here we have a picture of a Man
of indomitable will, irrepressible courage, unlimited strength, steadfastly
setting His face to meet the worst
that men could do to Him, and never
faltering, taking His last journey that
led Him from sheltered Galilee to
storm-tossed Jerusalem, to danger
and death. Such is the meaning of
Palm Sunday to the world today.
