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 M'KINLEY AIRPORT IS HEARING COMPLETION IT SHINES FOR ALL THE PEOPLE IN NORTHERN STARK COUNTY READ BY BRIGHT PEOPLE An Independent Newspaper That Plays No Favorites jfrong Advertisers or Subscribers, and With One Price To All NORTH CANTON, STARK COUNTY, )HIO, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, 1930. $2.00 PER YEAR C. MEES They built up religious colo- 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."

THE WOMAN'S CLUB "Fun Frolic" Will^Be Tonight In the Commiffliitjr Building. _„..4" planned by The 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.

ROTAfSsTS —?— Hartville Members! and Local Men , 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! MUSIC AND ORATORY ON MONDAY EVENING- Boss Hoover Will Open the Public Meeting With a Few Remarks and Between Band and Drum Corps Numbers: Other Speakers Will Be Heard. JOHN McSWEENEY, GUEST Warning To Auto Drivers Notice is hereby given that the ordinance providing for three-hour parking limit on McKinley street will be enforced by the Police Department. By Order of the Mayor and Council of the Village of North Canton, Ohio. Published in The Sun, March 12, 1930. Telling of the Activities of North Canton American Legion Post No. 419 and of the Legion Auxiliary 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. , o 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. ——o > 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. that all of. it goes to™, men in state ■Wospltais;:;-:^$\a«w^*»a*i(*w^ 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 mingling with ih% fine fellows. from Hartville and yourselves this evening, but although absent in the flesh I shall be with you in spirit. It is a pleasure to read each week in The Sun that your club is going steadily forward and carrying'out the great snirit of Rotary. JOE MARKLEY. MOTHER'S NIGHT Girl Scouts and Their Best Pals Had An Enjoyable Affair. Sub-District Meeting The third sub-district of the Tenth District will meet in North Canton at the Legion rooms on April G at two- thirty and we would like every Legion member to set this date aside to help make this one of the biggest meetings of this organization. Our Legion Post is gaining quite a reputation in this district and it is up to us to uphold it. A committee will be appointed to take care of the entertainment and program, and this information will be. given out later. LEGIONADXpARY Our meeting on Thursday, March 13, will be a special in charge of Mrs. Grover Wolf and\ is in honor of the [Continued on back page] Troops 2, 5 and G of North Canton had "Mother's night" at, the Community Christian church, March 4, with a pot-luck supper. There . were 90 mothers and daughters present. The color scheme for the tables was carried out in green and white. A program followed the supper which /consisted of several Scout I songs, three piano solos,, by Mary .Jane Schiltz, Troop No. 2; Joan i Towns and Ruth Wagner, Troop No. 5. First aid Bandaging was demonstrated by Lucy Jane Sponseller and Elizabeth Schiltz of Troop No. 2. - A demonstration was also given in knot tying- by Mildred Hubbs and Betty Nelius of Troop 6. Troop 5 put on a clever little play "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 basing her talk on what Scouting should mean to every girl, if she is a real honest-to-goodness Scout. The program was brought to a elose by the girls of all. three troops j going through their regular exercises i and then singing tiieir good-nite song | or taps. i Miss Bordner, captain Troop No. 6; Miss Rohr, captain Troop No. 2; Miss Kitchen and Miss Carrigan, leaders of Troop No. 5. o Cordelia Road. Sewer Engineer Roscoi M. Rice was asked by Council on Mi 'iday night to give the question, of a -.ewer on Cordelia road from Main -tieet to Woodland avenue consideration. He has collected considerabh data but willcath- er more and have it ready at the next meeting. In The Cantonian this week is an article telling of the activities of a number of men well known in North Canton. The Sun takes pleasure in reproducing below- the article: Canton's messages of good will, embodied in talks and addresses of many kinds, reach more people and more ja<«wen.v.-*A\ro.ugliout- our-' >--neignbo'rrng 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: this the Civil War Veterans will be introduced and given a few remarks. The Hoover band will then play, following which the Spanish-American War veterans will be introduced and a. few remarks will be made by Frank Wagner, one of their members.

Richard Smith Was Playing When He Was Knocked Down. PRICE IS $3.62 A FOOT FOR MAIN ST. PAYING Richard Smith, aged seven years, narrowly escaped serious injuries on Wednesday afternoon when he was knocked down by an N. O. P. Akron- Canton bus on South Main street. He had left school and was playing with a boy. He started to cross the street in front of the bus. The driver jammed on the brakes and when picked up Richard's injuries consisted of a damaged wrist and a bruised side. He lives at 616 Easf;Jtfaple street. WHAT'S WRONG AND WHERE? Engineer Rice Submits Report To Mayor and Council ,On Monday Night—Payment Plan Covers a Period of Ten Years. With Interest At 5'/2. CLE! HAS BLUE PRINT Engineer Roscoe M. Rice submitted his report to the Mayor and Council on Monday night of the final assessments for the North and South: Main street paving. There are 206 assessable lots on this street from the north to the south corporation lines representing a totar assessable frontage of 9947.37 feet. The total estimated cost of this improvement on the brick type of construction as reported to the Council in: June of last year was $135,323.30. One-half of this amount or $67,661.65,. was estimated for the village of North Canton. After the work was completed the- actual amount for the village is $59,- 938.2S. The estimated rate per foot front as reported last year was $4.03 while the actual rate per foot front to the property owner is ^$3.62. The assessments are computed for each lot and the cash rate for each property is given as well as the payment plan over a period of 10 years with interest at 5Vi9c per annum on deferred payments. The assessing sheet which lists each and every property on the street with assessments, interest and totals to be paid for the entire period, is over 2 feet wide and 6 feet long and is now on file with Clerk Lester Braucher where it may be seen by any one interested.

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.

ROTAfSsTS —?— Hartville Members! and Local Men , 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! MUSIC AND ORATORY ON MONDAY EVENING- Boss Hoover Will Open the Public Meeting With a Few Remarks and Between Band and Drum Corps Numbers: Other Speakers Will Be Heard. JOHN McSWEENEY, GUEST Warning To Auto Drivers Notice is hereby given that the ordinance providing for three-hour parking limit on McKinley street will be enforced by the Police Department. By Order of the Mayor and Council of the Village of North Canton, Ohio. Published in The Sun, March 12, 1930. Telling of the Activities of North Canton American Legion Post No. 419 and of the Legion Auxiliary 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. , o 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. ——o > 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. that all of. it goes to™, men in state ■Wospltais;:;-:^$\a«w^*»a*i(*w^ 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 mingling with ih% fine fellows. from Hartville and yourselves this evening, but although absent in the flesh I shall be with you in spirit. It is a pleasure to read each week in The Sun that your club is going steadily forward and carrying'out the great snirit of Rotary. JOE MARKLEY. MOTHER'S NIGHT Girl Scouts and Their Best Pals Had An Enjoyable Affair. Sub-District Meeting The third sub-district of the Tenth District will meet in North Canton at the Legion rooms on April G at two- thirty and we would like every Legion member to set this date aside to help make this one of the biggest meetings of this organization. Our Legion Post is gaining quite a reputation in this district and it is up to us to uphold it. A committee will be appointed to take care of the entertainment and program, and this information will be. given out later. LEGIONADXpARY Our meeting on Thursday, March 13, will be a special in charge of Mrs. Grover Wolf and\ is in honor of the [Continued on back page] Troops 2, 5 and G of North Canton had "Mother's night" at, the Community Christian church, March 4, with a pot-luck supper. There . were 90 mothers and daughters present. The color scheme for the tables was carried out in green and white. A program followed the supper which /consisted of several Scout I songs, three piano solos,, by Mary .Jane Schiltz, Troop No. 2; Joan i Towns and Ruth Wagner, Troop No. 5. First aid Bandaging was demonstrated by Lucy Jane Sponseller and Elizabeth Schiltz of Troop No. 2. - A demonstration was also given in knot tying- by Mildred Hubbs and Betty Nelius of Troop 6. Troop 5 put on a clever little play "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 basing her talk on what Scouting should mean to every girl, if she is a real honest-to-goodness Scout. The program was brought to a elose by the girls of all. three troops j going through their regular exercises i and then singing tiieir good-nite song | or taps. i Miss Bordner, captain Troop No. 6; Miss Rohr, captain Troop No. 2; Miss Kitchen and Miss Carrigan, leaders of Troop No. 5. o Cordelia Road. Sewer Engineer Roscoi M. Rice was asked by Council on Mi 'iday night to give the question, of a -.ewer on Cordelia road from Main -tieet to Woodland avenue consideration. He has collected considerabh data but willcath- er more and have it ready at the next meeting. In The Cantonian this week is an article telling of the activities of a number of men well known in North Canton. The Sun takes pleasure in reproducing below- the article: Canton's messages of good will, embodied in talks and addresses of many kinds, reach more people and more ja<«wen.v.-*A\ro.ugliout- our-' >--neignbo'rrng 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: this the Civil War Veterans will be introduced and given a few remarks. The Hoover band will then play, following which the Spanish-American War veterans will be introduced and a. few remarks will be made by Frank Wagner, one of their members.

Canton's messages, like our city's products, go into all parts of the BUS HITS BOY The meeting will be brought to a close by the audience singing the first stanza of "The Star-Spangled Banner." Richard Smith Was Playing When He Was Knocked Down. PRICE IS $3.62 A FOOT FOR MAIN ST. PAYING Richard Smith, aged seven years, narrowly escaped serious injuries on Wednesday afternoon when he was knocked down by an N. O. P. Akron- Canton bus on South Main street. He had left school and was playing with a boy. He started to cross the street in front of the bus. The driver jammed on the brakes and when picked up Richard's injuries consisted of a damaged wrist and a bruised side. He lives at 616 Easf;Jtfaple street. WHAT'S WRONG AND WHERE?
