Thorn In Eloquent Speech Before Stark County Jurors' Association In Witwer Park. Judges Praise Citizens Willing To Serve Attorney William R. Thorn of Canton delivered an eloquent speech at the luncheon of The Stark County Jurors' association in Witwer park pavilion on Saturday afternoon. His subject was "Peace-Time Patriotism," and he drew attention to the fact that W. H. (Boss) Hoover was willing to serve North Canton as its first Mayor because he felt it his duty to "do his bit" for his home town. ~ • Tribute To Boss Hoover Said-Attorney Thom: ■ .."Another obligation rests upon men of training and experience Who have" reaped the benefits of our system of education and government, and that is the duty of service in public office, in those minor places of Village Mayor, Councilman, Township Trustee, and the like. There are many who strive for the high places of honor. Not so many, however, are willing to take on the duties of these smaller offices which have so much to do with the everyday working of our government processes. "Here in North Canton we have.a living example of peacetime patriotism in this respect. Business affairs of great moment did not keep W.-H. Hoover from sitting in the office of Mayor of North Canton and doing his bit to build up the government of his home municipality. How many men of wide interests in a manufacturing way would show a like interest ? "His material success laid upon him and all men of his kind an obligation to serve their country, and Mr. Hoover did not forget that obligation as so many do." ASSOCIATION MEETS Eminent Jurists and Clerk of Court Give Some Good Advice. The Stark County Jurors' associ ation enjoyed an excellent meal, heard several to-the-point short addresses by eminent Jurists and elected Ralph Peters of Canton president and Harry W. Melllivane of Canton vice-president at the annual meeting on Saturday in Witwer park pavilion. The members decided to meet next year on the last Saturday in June in the same place. Y Among the distinguished guests were,Judge Edward W. Diehl, Judge Henry W. Harter, Jr., Judge James L. Floyd and Clerk of Courts B. B. Beck. These men gave some sound advice on the duty of a citizen when called for jury service. - Mr. Beck's address will be found on page three.

A close student of all that pertains to law and law-making, he never wearies'of that devotion, and he never | minces words to express his thoughts. His remarks covered "Peace-Time Patriotism."

TIMELY TOPICS PROGRAM The coming Redpath chautaqua program, which opens on Monday afternoon, July 13, in the tent auditorium in Witwer park, seems to offer ah unusually interesting group of attractions. Timely topics of the day are discussed by authorities in these fields; the music seems to be of an exceptionally high standard and the field of the drama is well taken care of in-the presentation of three modern com.- edies. Comment from both tlie press ancl public in the cities where the coming program has already appeared has been most enthusiastic. There seems to be an unusually attractive list of • features with the variety sufficiently wide to appeal to all tastes. Three Plays Three plays will be given this season. On the opening night the recent Metropolitan comedy success "Broken Dishes"; on the third night the hilarious success "Her Husband's Wife" and on the fifth night the ever-popular comedy drama "Grumpy." On the fourth afternoon Francis Copee's classic "The Violin Maker of. Cremona" will be given with special stage setting and costumes of, the period. This operetta is one of great- beauty with a plot of romantic inter- Y est. Metropolitan Singers On the fourth night the Metropoli-- tan Singers, a double mixed quartet, will give a varied program of vocal, music from the oldest sacred music on through to the modern composers of. the tlay. On the last night Enola Handley will present her Phil-Harmonica orchestra in a program of the best instrumental music with many . added features of interest in jpecial costuming and staging. . o-—'— Fire Plug Damaged The tow i ope got under the wheels of a tiuck that was being pulled into dry dock; the truck careened, hit a fire plug in front of Lewis & Greenho's furniture store, and upset the plug.
