SLAUGHTER HOUSE IS
SOVIET RUSSIA TODAY
Rev. 0. C. Mees of Canton Paints
a Dark Picture of Life As He
Saw It In That Country When
He Went There To Assist In
Relieving Disftrtlss.
NO SUCH! Tflrt; AS HOME
Having traveled in Russia on relief
work for the Lutheran church, the
Rev. O. C. Mees, widely known pastor ' of Canton, and a member of a
family having to its credit the president of Capital University, Columbus;
university' professors and other distinguished citizens, addressed the
North Canton Rotary club and its
numerous guests on Thursday night
on the subject of Russia as he saw it
at close range Ave years ago.
The word picture he drew of the
Bolshevist regime wasn't a pleasant
one, and Russia is dopmed^unless the
Soviet leaders come, to their senses,
and that isn't at all likely as they are
going- from bad to worse instead ,of
trying to improve conditions, according to the Canton clergyman....
Russia Challenges the World
Russia today challenges the best
minds of the w.orld,: said Mr. Mees.
There are , 160 millions of poeple
m that country and they are governed
by 300,000 men and women. These
leaders have three cardinal principles: (1) No God to be accountable to.
(2) Home relationship, domestic life,
violates the principles of Communism.
(3) Right to possess property denied
to all.   The State pwns all.
That is the foundation of the present day Bolshevist form of government. The Rev. Mr. Mees declared
that religious persecution as practiced under the Czars is responsible
for the flouting of the Christian religion there today.
Paying Off Old Scores
In the old days the followers .of the
Greek Church went out and slaughtered Jews by the thousands, and the
Czars and his advisors merely winked
at the- murders; if they did not actu-t,
ally consent to'v3ie:'C6utrage's, Then
when Lenine, Trotzky, Stalin and
other leaders took charge of affairs
after the assassination of the Czar
and members of his family, they put
into force the teaching of Karl Marx
and other Communists, and also adopted a-.campaign of revenge against
everything called  Christian.
"Do away with God. Religion is the
opium the clergy use to dull the senses
of the people and put them to sleep.
Anyone believing in God is a slave."
These are a few of the things the
present leaders of Russia use to fool
the people. ~
Russia Religious At 'Heart
Russia was a religious country, and
at heart is today if given the opportunity. The 2,000,000 Lutherans in
Russia are descended from the 800,000
German Lutherans who went there
three centuries ago and accepted land
grants in the fertile valleys  of the

Volga
nies.
Today all is changed. In the cities
church worship is unknown. In the
country districts peasants are driven
from their homes, and the kulaks, the
wealthier class of farmers, are abused
and robbed. Homeless, thousands of
these excellent men and women drop
from exhaustion along the roadside,
and die. The MennOnites, the Lutherans and other denominations are forbidden to worship God. •
Bluffing the.Children
The Soviet'leaders have an ingenious way of appealing to children.' At
Christmas $hey march hundreds of
children into a large room and tell
them to pray to the Christ Kris Kin-
gle. The youngsters pray, a door is
opened and a large empty room fa^ces
them.
"Now ask the Soviet government to
give you presents," say the leaders.
The children do so, and to their joy
and amazement they see trees loaded
with presents. "See," say the leaders,
"The Christ Child does .not answer you
but the government does."
All sacredness of the marriage vow
is dead under the Bolshevist regime.
Everything is prostitution. Sign on,
sign off, is' the wedded life! If there
are children the State will1 take them.
They have homes fd'r. that purpose.
The Soviet knows that this generation
will never fall in line, so it is working on the new generation. They1 educate the children to be Communists
and to laugh at religion. "There is no
God": is their constant'.cry.,.>.,;,.■ .. : -. .
.-,■ May CoHap^ln^i933
The Rev. Mr., Mees explained many
things, and The Sun .regret's that lack
of space prevents this newspaper from
printing them, but one of his main
points was that Russia has tq be thoroughly Soviet in 1933 or it will crash.
The leaders know this, and they are
doing everything in their power to
avert it. ,
He took $100,000 with him to Rus
sia to use in relieving the distress of
the Lutherans. The leaders wanted
the, money and said they would spend
it on the famine-stricken people.
When Mr.; Mees learned that one-
third of his $100,000 would be sent
to the United States to advance the
cause of the Communists he refused
to permit them to touch his cash. He
also learned that nobody trusts anybody in Russia. He pleaded with the
leaders. Their answer, was, "The Lutherans are standing in the way. They
will not join us.  Let them die."

R'^loith  Canton will
The McKinley Airport is located on
the Louisville road, 2% miles from
the down-town business district of
Canton, Ohio, and is but 10 minutes
by auto, electric car or bus from the
square. '    -■   •
It is also ideally located with reference to meterqlogical conditions, laying high it is relatively free from fog,
unusual wind currents, and other flying interference often' existing on air--
ports that are surrounded by or near
hills, valleys or large bodies of water.
Canton is also fortunate in its location from a commercial standpoint-
being away from the fog conditions
found near the Great Lakes and also
being a good terminal stop before
making the flight across the mountains traveling #East or a good stop
after the flight "across the mountains
traveling West. The daily visits at
the McKinley Airport, by commercial
and passenger flyers indicates that
Canton and vicinity is centrally located between New York, Washington and Chicago and is an ideal stopping place. : -
Steam Shovels Moving Dirt
With six steam shovels moving
from 6,000 to 7,000 yards of dirt each
day and a crew of men busily engaged
in rolling, scraping and resurfacing
new runways, the McKinley. Airport
is not only well under way, but, weather permitting, promises to reach
completion of the grading within another month.
The frontage will be cleared giving
2,000 foot on Louisville road which
will offer increased parking and concession space. The field, when completed, will be: known as,an "all-way"
field, allo-wirii ;tak^ offs and landings
in any. direction, .wiOir run-ways'froni
2500'to 3300 feet in length. "
Other improvements include the installation of new regulation lighting
equipment for the entire field which
will render it available for airmail
transportation, complete fencing of
the field, and the construction of additional hangars.

, and Women 'Hear Address By
Rev. 6. C. Mees.
The North Canton. Rotary club on
Thursday night aistjed as hosts to
Hartville RotarianSJ Mayor Orrin
Wolf, Commander Gordon C. Curry
of the American Legion; Mrs. Lester
Swearengih, head of! the Legion Auxiliary, and Mrs. J. 'C. Nelson, president-elect of The Woman's club of
North- Canton. ]!
H. Johnson presided. Boss Hoover
offered the prayer, and Frank Manton
led the singing. Robert and Glen
Wise, boys from |the Community
Building, played thejianjo and guitar.
After the dinner, jjtfayor Wolf said
he appreciated the Welfare movement
the Rotary club was engaged in and
promised his warmest support.
Gordon Curry drew a laugh with, a
story he credited to,his dad down in
Louisville, Kentucky, and also said the
Legion in North Canton is willing at
all times to back every worth-while
activity.
Mrs. Nelson, speaking for The
Woman's club, said-the club stands for
civic advancement.
Mrs. Swearengin told of the many
activities the Auxiliary was engaged
in for the benefit of the sick former
soldiers and their fainilies, and assured those present that the purposes
of the Rotary club and Auxiliary run
parallel.
"When you buy a poppy or any
other article offered for sale by members of the Auxiliary or.those working with them keep in'mind that not
one cent of the money goes to us, but
WILLIAM DABERKO
"The King -of Razz" as he is merrily called by his fellow Rotarians in
North Canton, Canton, Akron, Cleveland and other towns, possesses a very
serious side, and he does riot believe
life should be all laughter. Show him
where he can do some good, and he
goes to it in a hurry. A hundred percenter in everything he engages in is
"Bill" Daberko,. and even though he
does josh • his. friends in public at
times, they all love him, for the reason that he plays the game on the
-level'and doesn't "make a face" when
they hand him a dose of his own medicine. He does a lot of good as he goes
along, does Bill ■ Daberko, arid the
world would be an ideal place if the
directories contained more men of liis
kidney.
PREACH GOODWILL
Joseph Markley, William Daberko and
Others  Boost Their Territory.
JOSEPH M. MARKLEY
The Sun has it on the authority, of
such men as Bill Morgan, True Mar-
low and Bill Daberko that Markley's
parents made one mistake. Instead
of hanging the name George on him
they called him Joseph. "Let George
do it," and George always does—in
this case Joe Markley.
But according to the Bible, Joseph
was a pretty good scout when called
upon to do something worth while for
his people. And the same goes for
Joe Markley. How he finds the time
to do it, and do it well, is what puzzles his friends. He has made more
speeches, has been in more "drives"
of a community nature, and has turned more pessimists into optimists
than any other man in Canton, and
yet he never accepted a dollar for his
services. '
A thoroughbred is Joe, and he goes
all the way without the touch of the
whip, the spur or a jockey to guide
him. And he has a son travelimr along
the same road. Fortunate indeed is
Markley, and fortunate is the lad to
have such a dad!

ADAM AND Wk
Had  a  Party,  and  It Was  Rich  In
the Wtty of Surprises.
& very entertaining.par,ty was held
in the Legion room on Thursday evening for the «ast of "Adam and Eva."
Commander Gordon Curry was host
of the affair and the program was not
without variety.
The fun began with a game called
"Animals" and anyone desiring information on it, should get in> touch with
Bill Evans of the Engineering department.  He surely knows his animals.
This was. followed by a strenuous
chicken game of some sort in which
the contestants assumed the role of
chickens and scrambled about on the
floor (and incidentally on some sore
corns) trying to see how much feed
they could collect. At the finish they
were rewarded by eating the "feed"
gathered, which was chocolate candy
kisses. No bones were broken, but
we heard there were some pretty sore
muscles the following day.
They say children get burned who
play with matches. If you don't believe it, ask one of the fair members
of the party. She may demonstrate
how to take a match from a box,
strike it and then place it in the, box
again while holding your one hahd.be-
' hind you. .Rather intricate, but it can
be done.
Then came the real test of the evening. A contest in which geography
and cleverness were very essential-r-
mostly the latter. • •
Upon arriving at the party each
guest was presented with a sealed envelope containing a slip of paper. At
various intervals someone was called j
upon to. Open his or her envelope and |
do whatever .was written on theslin.
Among the more amusing was an imi
tation of a fancy ice skater, a solo to
the accompaniment of cymbals and
that of an intoxicated man. The latter displayed Some exceptionally fine
talent. We're not divulging any
names, but it was good.
' During the remainder of the evenr
ing there was singing and dancing and
"Lord Andy" /showed us "some awfully good card tricks."
Prizes were awarded to those having scored the most points throughout
the evening. First prize, Marie Bou-
chie; second, John - Moye, and third,
Eugenie Chevraux.
Mrs.   Gordon   Curry   then  brought
the evening to a climax by serving a
very delicious lunch. ,

Junior Baseball       "•
The Junior Baseball program is
progressing and O. P. Kidder has been
appointed assistant to Glen Schiltz in
this movement. Dwight Peabody,
coach at the Canton McKinley high,
has been appointed County Athletic
Officer and the League will be under
his supervision and arrangement. The
handbook has been received and the
program that has been outlined should
interest every boy. All boys under
sixteen should get in touch with the
Boy Scout Troop or a Legion Post
officer at once.
National Commander's Banquet
The National Commander's Banquet
that will be held at Coshocton, March
21, will have a. fine representative
group of North Canton Legion-members. Vice-Commander Sam Cardwell
has alloted us five more tickets and
there are openings for three more
men. Get in touch with David Glass at
once if' you desire to go.
Definite information has been received from headquarters that the
film, "Old Glory" will be booked for
North Canton on May 16. • Plans will
be completed with Mr. Denton and
Father Kotheimer on this program.
Drum Corps
Last Tuesday, the Drum Corps held
their election and compete information
was given to the, (Corps on the State
Convention trip. The Legion has
promised the Drum Corps full support
and the new officers have requested
that the Drum Corps give full support
by  attending Legion meetings.
Monday night, March 17, the Drum
Corps' will make its first public appearance for 1930.

Relief Work
A plan is under consideration
whereby a fund may be made up for
sick, call and -relief work. Warburton,
Moye, Swearengen and Gerber have
made several visits in the last few
weeks and there are quite a few cases
in this vicinity that need relief and
attention. We would like to have suggestions from our members as to a
method of forming this fund. We
would like all to take this seriously as
it is a phase of Legion work that must
be taken care of.

also praised the GirL Scouts "for being
willing to assist the Auxiliary when
called upon.
Several men from Hartville responded briefly and said that "we are
happy to be here."
The following message from Joe
Markley, former governor of this district, and one of the organizers of the
North Canton Rotary club,./was read
by President Johnson., It was received with applause:
Joe Markley's- Greeting
Convey to the members of the Rotary club of North Canton my warmest congratulations. It is one of the
live clubs in this district, and I am
proud of the fact that it was organized while I was district governor. A
previous engagement keeps me from

Hartville and yourselves this evening,
but although absent in the flesh I shall
be with you in spirit. It is a pleasure

"The Lamp Went Out" which had
much humor to it.
The speakers of the evening were
Mrs. A. Clouser, who was one of the
first women to organize the Scouts in
North Canton eight years ago, and
she is still showing very much interest in them yet.
Miss Lacey was the second speaker

In The Cantonian this week is an
article telling of the activities of a
number of men well known in North

reproducing below- the article:

kinds, reach more people and more

territory and, for that: matter; in all
parts of the world, than one would
estimate in making but a casual sur
vey. These messages, even though
the thought of community publicity is
secondary and the effort to sell Canton is indirect, are real builders of
patronage and friendship for our city.
William  Daberko
Wm. Daberko is the principal
speaker at a Father and Son banquet
in Strasburg; Joseph Markley addresses the international convention \ world
of Rotary clubs in Dallas Texas;
George H. Walker speaks to members
of the Alliance Builders Exchange; W.
W. Steele talks at a meeting in Los
Angeles; Charles E. Morris gives a
speech before the business men of
Carrollton; Dr. W. Stuart Carnes
speaks in Mexico City; Wm. T. Kuhns
presents a talk on McKinley in Massillon. So it goes, in almost .endless
variety.
Taking the record of a single Cantonian, for example, we find that Joseph Markley has been doing public
speaking since 1912 and he has averaged more than one address each
week ever since he began. And like
every other genuine Canton booster,
Mr. Markley never has failed to in
clude a good word about Canton in
any of his speeches.
Markley's Good Work
Last week The Sun told in full
about the great night arranged by
North Canton Legion Post for Monday, March 17, at 8:00 o'clock. There
is little to add this week. It is worth
while to keep in mind that it is a public meeting, that no collection will be
taken, that there will be good music
and speeches. The Hoover Band and
the Drum Corps will take turns at
furnishing the music.       /
Advancing of the Colors
All  Legion  men and  Drum  Corps
are to meet in their room at seven
o'clock for a short business meeting;-
and are to go to the auditorium,in the
Community Building in a body.   The
meeting there will be opened by a selection by the Drum Corps followed
by the advancing of the colors.   This
will be followed  by the Legion Preamble  and  the  entire  audience   will
then stand and sing the first stanza of
America, accompanied by the band.
Boss To Open Meeting
"Boss" Hoover, the godfather of the
Legion, will then be introduced for
the opening remarks. After his 'introduction, the Drum Corps will then
give another selection and following:
