NORTH CANTON, STARK COUNTY, OH IO, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1931. $2.00 PER YEAR. 3,000,000 CLEANERS IS THE HOOVER OUTPUT First Time In the World's History That Any Major Electrical Device Has Reached Such Enormous Figures, Proving It Is An.Article the Public Must Have These Days. 'Told Without Varnish tiW.OlU. CONVENTION RE-ELECTS OFFICIALS Political Bunk For The Ohio Voter. By BEX LONG INDISPENSABLE IN HOMES Figures released today by The Hoover company, in connection with the anouncement of its three-millionth cleaner reveals some: startling totals amassed during the course of producing such a numbers of electric cleaners. According to H. W. Hoover, president, this marks the first time that any major electrical device has reached the three million mark. While it is customary to associate the statisticians' labors with larger products than electric cleaners, such as automobiles, miles of paving, and the like, some interesting comparisons have been compiled by The Hoover company along this line. Some idea of the quantities of of materials that have gone into the maifmg of 3,000,000 Hoovers may be gained frqrn the following: Nineteen million pounds of aluminum, in the aggerate*, have been re- craired. Electric cord alone totals 500,000 miles—or more than enough to circle the earth twenty times at the equator. Three hundred anel fifty regulation football fields and part of the stands—could be covered by the 2,250,000 square yards of fabric used for making Hoover dust bags, The amount of dirt removed from rugs by Hoover cleaners amounts to more than 775,000,000 pounels, at a conservative estimate. It would take 193,750 two-ton trucks to haul it away. One of the company officials said this morning, in commenting upon this new record: "To us one of the most interesting features of this important new sales record is that it comes in the midst of a period of dullness. It would seem to indicate that there is still plenty of money available for these household conveniencies that earn their way by the services they render." Figures advanced by this official show that if all the homes for which Hoovers have been purchased occupied fifty-foot lots on one side of a street, the street would be 26,515 miles long or three times the length bf the short cut trip around the world which. Post and Gatty recently made. Of, the same number of Hoover homes would line both sides of four streets extending all the way from New York to San Francisco. The Hoover sales organization responsible for these sales is now almost world-wide in scope, for in practically air the countries where floor coverings are used to any great extent, Hoovers are now sold aggressively. 1 HELP THE NEEDY Legion Auxiliary Is Asking For Fruit, ' Vegetables, Cans. TWO long envelopes, and their contents were dropped into the paper baler this Wednesday morning, there to rest until removed by men from the Good Will Industrial Mission of Canton or the Salvation Army. The envelopes come from Columbus and the "contents" were written _ by men supposed to be posted on political affairs in Ohio, but who are more proficient in slinging mud than in discussing office-holders, candidates for office, or subjects of state. "Billingsgate" we calleel such stuff in the old days, but as many of the men writing in Columbus for both political parties do not know a fish market from an abattoir- it would not hurt their feelings if they learned that owners of sensitive nostrils call loud- ly for gas masks before reading the rubbish sent out by the press bureaus attacheel to the Republican anel Democratic machines in Columbus. * X ■ t . rjlHE junk these fellows contribute to the cause is printed in county seat weafclies—beg pardon—weeklies, and requires no brains to grind out. If Governor White is seen carrying an umbrella on a rainy day, word is passed to the Republican bureau that he "swiped it from a poor widow who had placed it in a corner while she was down on her knees scrubbing the stairs." Of course, the widow has a number of starving children. The writers go on to say that the Governor "first ascertained that the- scrub lady belonged to the Republican party, afld that he was astonished to learn that she possessed such a thing as an umbrella." Then they call on the manhood of Ohio to regent this insult to widowhood. After, which they go out in search of a drink to steady their nerves. j $ t THE Democrats sitting- in their bureau get a telephone message they regard as a "hot tip." It has to do'with Clarence J.

He has just learned on "unimpeachable authority" that Clarence Bi'own no longer loves the barbers. He has turned Russian and among the Soviet he is being hailed as "one of us." This startlig news calls for a conference. Several hours later large envelopes are on their way to county seat papers.

Ben Long of The Sun has accepted an invitation to speak before the Open Forum in Cincinnati on Saturday evening, October 17. His subject will be "The Surrender of Burgoyne At Saratoga In 1777 and the Surrender of American Principles In Times of Depression." October 17 is the anniversary of the surrender of General Burgoyne. . .0— _ Mrs. Zumbach III Mrs. Clarence Zumbach of West street is a victim of flu. Her cousin, Mrs. Matilda Braucher French of Canton, is caring for her. . ff OW did they learn that Clarence J. Brown had gone back on the barbers? The answer is easy. Brown has a habit of "jumping in" when work be'gins to accumulate in his office, and he stays on the jot> until his desk is clean. Frequently he remains in his office until two or three o'clock in the morning. He then goes to his lodgings, takes a few hours sleep ancl returns to work shortly before nine o'clock. He had not the time to stop at a barber shop, but will do so later in the day. One of the clerks in his office had dropped a Smith Brothers cough drop box into one of the wastepaper baskets. Mr. Flim-Flam in sleuthing around had spotted the box anel saw that the Smith Brothers wear long- flowing whiskers. "Ah!" he murmured, "So Clarence has joined forces with the Smith Brothers? Yes, sir; he's gone Russian! That will be a dandy piece of news, for the readers of county seat papers." And a few days later, uneler screaming headlines, the genial Secretary of State is denounced as a Bolshevik in the journals supporting the Democrats, and Governor White is exposed to the world in the Republican papers as "a swiper of umbrellas from poor scrub ladies on rainy clays." ktt t Silly is the bunk mailed from Columbus, but sillier yet is the voter that pins his belief to the tales manufactured by the press bureaus attached to political machines. The 51st convention of the Stark county W. C. T. U. held in The Community Christian church on Tuesday was declared to be "one of the best, if not the best" ever held by the county organization. Considerable enthusiasm'was displayed by the members, and they decided to carry the battle into the enemy's camp whenever necessary. The "new" officers for the coming year are the old ones, namely: President, Mrs. Grace Baughman; vice- president, Mrs. Georgiana Whitacre; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Mary Herbert; recording secretary, Mrs. Mary Austin; treasurer, Mrs. Frank Wise. . Increased Membership Mrs. Baughman presided at the sessions. When reports on membership were called for it was learned that Stark county "went over the top" in the number of members, the • rolls showing more than last year. '.Dr. Wise Speaks The Rev. Dr. E. P. Wise spoke in the afternoon. He told about his trip to Cojutepeque, El Salvador, Central America. The drink traffic in that country, he declared, is "dreadful." He said it is a national disease. The philosophy of life in Salvador is "eat, drink and ■ be merry, for tomorrow you die." The liquor business is a government monoply, but Dr. Wise said that a number of people in that small republic were not without hope. "There is a good deal of temperance sentiment there." He asserted that his friends, Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Humphrey of Cojutepeque, are doing much to arouse people to the curse of liquor, For 14 years they have been doing "valuable missionary work in El Salvador." The Rev. Dr. Wise visited them in January, February and several days in March. Convention Flashes . ... The evening's program opened with two numbers by the L. T. L. orchestra, assisted by two members of the Junior members W. C. T. U. Willis Baughman led the players and they received the applause they had earned. The singing of the Swope Trio was enjoyed by the many guests at the dinner tables. Mrs. W. E. Slagle of Youngstown, for three terms a member of the Ohio Legislature, was the speaker of the evening. Her talk was practical and full of facts and the figures she presented gave the large assembly much tp ponder. One of the most enjoyable features of the convention was the .presence of Mrs. Meredith, who has for so many years made the W. C. T. U. interests her life work. '< Mrs. . Meredith, although eighty years of age, is vigorous in mind and is well ■ informed on the happenings of the day and especially as they relate to the liquor traffic.

Freshmen At Heidelberg In spite of the general depression Heidelberg college has an increase of over five per cent in her freshmen class. The total number now stands at 113 with a few more to register, The Sun has been informed by the officials of the college. Telling of the Activities of North Canton American Legion Post No. 419 and of the Legion Auxiliary Backing John Elden Post 419 has sixteen members paid up for the year, 1932. This is ten per cent of the post's membership and with the other posts of the state of Ohio means a ten per cent state membership to back John Elden at the National Convention in" Detroit. This effort was made to prove to other states that Ohio's backing of Elden was not merely a verbal support but a practical working organization, National Convention The National American Legion convention in Detioit has many problems to face during this week. It not only is a responsibility to face the tasks outlined but an opportunity to serve again, the nation for which many offered their lives. Real leadership is required and we hope that such ability will be found among those deliberating in -the meetings - at Detroit. ) To Unveil Tablet Mark next Sunday, as an important date on your calendar! The tablet recently placed on the rock in Witwer park will be dedicated with proper ceremonies. This occasion will represent the thanks of the community for the splendid work of our early officials. Every' Legion man is to be at Harman street at 1:45 p.m. with uniform or cap. The Drum Corps and firing squad will be there to parade and participate in the dedication. The Stark-Carroll council will meet at Beach City on October 4, at 2:00, p.m. Some members of the North Canton post should plan to be there. 1932 Program The 1932 program of the American Legion will emphasize,an educational program and unemployment. Many posts are making special efforts by backing public improvements to enable, men to have work anel make a living. Elkins, West Virginia, Guide Rock, Nebraska, anel Belle Plaine, Iowa, have backed the construction of municipal swimming pools as an unemployment program. The California Posts are backing new highways. The Mor- gantown, West Virginia, Post is building a $50,000 home in. connection with the armory. At Danville, Virginia, tlie Legion Post has backed a bond issue for [Continued on back page] B. B. Beck, clerk of the Stark county courts, was the speaker at the Rotary club on Thursday night. His subject was "At the Shrine of Childhood." i He quoted from the White House conference on "Child Health and Protection," held in Washington last November, and said that out of 45,000,- 000 children 35,000,000 are reasonably normal. 6,000,000 are improperly' nourished. 1,000,000 have defective speech. 1,000,000 have weak or damaged hearts. 675,000 present behavior problems. 450,000 are mentally retarded. 382,000 are tubercular. 342,00 have impaired hearing. 18,000 are totally deaf. 300,000 are crippled. 50,000 are partially blind. 14,000 are wholly blind. 200,000 are delinquent. 500,000 are dependent. Ten Million Deficients And so on, to a total of at least 10,000,000 of deficients, more thanSO per cent of whom are not receiving the necessary attention, though our knowledge and experience show that these deficiencies can be prevented and remedied to a high degree. The reports you have before you are not only replete with information upon each of these groups, they are also vivid with recommendation for remedy. And if we do not perform our, duty to these children, we leave them dependent, or we provide for them the major recruiting ground for the army of ne'er-do-wells and criminals. But that we be not discouraged let us bear iri mind that there are 35,- 000,000 reasonably normal, cheerful, happy children, radiating joy and mischief and hope anel faith. Their faces are turned toward the light— theirs is the life of great adventure. These are the vivid, romping, everyday children, our own and our neighbor's with all their strongly marked differences—and the more differences the better. The more they charge us with their separate problems, the more we know they are vitally and humanly alive.

"In case of rain, the services will be held in the Community Building,"' he said. Of Interest To All "This is the first event of this kind'. North Canton has ever known," said Mr. Curry. "In celebrating the 25th anniversary of the incorporation of North Canton we are paying tribute to the men who came to the front anel gave their services freely for practically no pay. This town owes them a debt of gratitude, and The American Legion is going to do all in its power to make the meeting a success," said Commander Curry.

He refused to run at the primaries, saying he believed that it was the duty of the candidates to file by petition anel thus save the taxpayers approximately $1500. He deserves credit for that in these days when everybody except a few professional chronic office-holders are willing to save the taxpayers money. When the United States entered the World War Karl A. Feist was one of the first to volunteer. They shipped him over to France and his record proves that he was a mighty good soldier. He was in the 'thick of it" Over There as a buck private. After the armistice, he returned home and devoted his talents to his profession in which he has been a success. A serious-minded man, possessing the saving grace of humor, Attorney Feist would make a goocl Judge of the Municipal Court.

Yes, sir; he's gone Russian! That will be a dandy piece of news, for the readers of county seat papers." And a few days later, uneler screaming headlines, the genial Secretary of State is denounced as a Bolshevik in the journals supporting the Democrats, and Governor White is exposed to the world in the Republican papers as "a swiper of umbrellas from poor scrub ladies on rainy clays." ktt t Silly is the bunk mailed from Columbus, but sillier yet is the voter that pins his belief to the tales manufactured by the press bureaus attached to political machines. The 51st convention of the Stark county W. C. T. U. held in The Community Christian church on Tuesday was declared to be "one of the best, if not the best" ever held by the county organization. Considerable enthusiasm'was displayed by the members, and they decided to carry the battle into the enemy's camp whenever necessary. The "new" officers for the coming year are the old ones, namely: President, Mrs. Grace Baughman; vice- president, Mrs. Georgiana Whitacre; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Mary Herbert; recording secretary, Mrs. Mary Austin; treasurer, Mrs. Frank Wise. . Increased Membership Mrs. Baughman presided at the sessions. When reports on membership were called for it was learned that Stark county "went over the top" in the number of members, the • rolls showing more than last year. '.Dr. Wise Speaks The Rev. Dr. E. P. Wise spoke in the afternoon. He told about his trip to Cojutepeque, El Salvador, Central America. The drink traffic in that country, he declared, is "dreadful." He said it is a national disease. The philosophy of life in Salvador is "eat, drink and ■ be merry, for tomorrow you die." The liquor business is a government monoply, but Dr. Wise said that a number of people in that small republic were not without hope. "There is a good deal of temperance sentiment there." He asserted that his friends, Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Humphrey of Cojutepeque, are doing much to arouse people to the curse of liquor, For 14 years they have been doing "valuable missionary work in El Salvador." The Rev. Dr. Wise visited them in January, February and several days in March. Convention Flashes . ... The evening's program opened with two numbers by the L. T. L. orchestra, assisted by two members of the Junior members W. C. T. U. Willis Baughman led the players and they received the applause they had earned. The singing of the Swope Trio was enjoyed by the many guests at the dinner tables. Mrs. W. E. Slagle of Youngstown, for three terms a member of the Ohio Legislature, was the speaker of the evening. Her talk was practical and full of facts and the figures she presented gave the large assembly much tp ponder. One of the most enjoyable features of the convention was the .presence of Mrs. Meredith, who has for so many years made the W. C. T. U. interests her life work. '< Mrs. . Meredith, although eighty years of age, is vigorous in mind and is well ■ informed on the happenings of the day and especially as they relate to the liquor traffic.

This is ten per cent of the post's membership and with the other posts of the state of Ohio means a ten per cent state membership to back John Elden at the National Convention in" Detroit. This effort was made to prove to other states that Ohio's backing of Elden was not merely a verbal support but a practical working organization, National Convention The National American Legion convention in Detioit has many problems to face during this week. It not only is a responsibility to face the tasks outlined but an opportunity to serve again, the nation for which many offered their lives.

His subject was "At the Shrine of Childhood." i He quoted from the White House conference on "Child Health and Protection," held in Washington last November, and said that out of 45,000,- 000 children 35,000,000 are reasonably normal. 6,000,000 are improperly' nourished. 1,000,000 have defective speech. 1,000,000 have weak or damaged hearts. 675,000 present behavior problems. 450,000 are mentally retarded. 382,000 are tubercular. 342,00 have impaired hearing. 18,000 are totally deaf. 300,000 are crippled. 50,000 are partially blind. 14,000 are wholly blind. 200,000 are delinquent. 500,000 are dependent. Ten Million Deficients And so on, to a total of at least 10,000,000 of deficients, more thanSO per cent of whom are not receiving the necessary attention, though our knowledge and experience show that these deficiencies can be prevented and remedied to a high degree. The reports you have before you are not only replete with information upon each of these groups, they are also vivid with recommendation for remedy. And if we do not perform our, duty to these children, we leave them dependent, or we provide for them the major recruiting ground for the army of ne'er-do-wells and criminals. But that we be not discouraged let us bear iri mind that there are 35,- 000,000 reasonably normal, cheerful, happy children, radiating joy and mischief and hope anel faith. Their faces are turned toward the light— theirs is the life of great adventure. These are the vivid, romping, everyday children, our own and our neighbor's with all their strongly marked differences—and the more differences the better. The more they charge us with their separate problems, the more we know they are vitally and humanly alive.
