Plan to Bring friends and relatives. Grading a Student' NUMBER of persons have told me they agree with the article I had in this column last week concerning a student's grades. As one lady, a teacher of mature years and widely known for her common sense, expressed it: "To refuse to give a pupil 100 per cent, after he has earned it is to stifle his ambition, make him careless and cause him to regard hi1"* teachers with suspicion. To say, as did the college president, quoted in The Sun, thai a student can not be 100 pei* cent, correct is a viewpoint many of the best teachers will not accept." I think she has explained the subject of 100 per cent, to the satisfaction of the majority of intelligent people. NORTH CANTON WILL MEET JACKSON TIP.

Booster local will meet the same evening* in Jackson township hall. COLLEGE CLUB DINNER THE writer of this column there aseination about an old book store he can not resist. Many of his happiest hours have been spent browsing between the covers of volumes whose authors are unknown to the present generation of readers of books. In Cincinnati last summer this writer bought several old books lie would not exchange today for the average so-called private library. Naturally the volumes purchased in Cincinnati were printed in England several hundred years ago or long before the art of printing was introduced into America. Two of the books were translated from the German, and as this writer looks at them today he wonders, as he reads the common sense in them, what has happened to the German people that they bow their heads to a fanatic like Hitler; people capable of writing the most beautiful thoughts in any language? t t t IN a happy and inspired moment a bygone writer penned a phrase or sentence which possessed the indefinable quality of momorableness, and although his vogue is over and he may be only a name now—sometimes not even that except to students and historians—this one apt saying which caught the popular fancy has become I an integral part of the literature of I Drawings for the annual Stark county class B basketball tournament were made in Navarre on Saturday during the teachers' institute. The tournament will be held again this year in the Canton city auditorium ami will start at twelve noon on next Friday, February 21. Canton township and Uniontown will lift oir the lid when they meet as game number one. North Canton high school will get into action at 4:00 o'clock the same afternoon when they meet the strong Jackson township outfit. Both teams have been in and outers during the season and the battle should be one of the closest in the first round. The Jackson township team will have the advantage of size and height but North Canton should have the advantage in speed and fast passing. This will be one of the games that must be played to determine the winner. The winner of this match will meet the winner of the Waynesburg-Green- town game at 1 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. The loser will meet the loser of the Middlebranch-East Sparta fray. Other first round games include: Hartville-East Canton at 2:00 on Friday; Marlboro-Beach City at 1:00; Navarre-Brewster at 3:00; Middlebranch-East Sparta at 5:00; Waynes- burg-Greentown at 0:00. There will be no games on Friday night but the tournament will be resumed on Saturday afternoon and evening. North Canton vs. Uniontown North Canton high school closed I their league basketball season in I Uniontown on Friday night. The North Canton reserves dropped their! game 27 to 20 and the varsity won.' 32 to 25. The Uniontown teams presented a scrappy lineup of players but had to make most of their goals from beyond the free throw line as the North Wife of Harry Appointed State Chaplain of Legion Auxiliary. The American Legion Auxiliary of North Canton were guests of ' the Massillon Auxiliary on Tuesday afternoon. The Massillon^ Auxiliary celebrated its twelfth birthday anniversary. Honor guests were: Mrs. Wilbur DeWeese of Troy, state president; Mrs. S. H. Wheeler, tenth district commander of Canton, and Mrs. Harry Wise of North Canton, who was appointed state chaplain. Mrs. DeWeese took as her subject, "The Past and Present of the Legion Auxiliary." Those who were guests from Nortli Canton were: Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Rouse, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Harpold and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wise. As The Sun Sees It Without Prejudice CLARENCE PORTMANN Fihs For Common Ploas Stark County. Judge of C. B. McClintock THE SUN takes pleasure this week in presenting lo the men and women of Ohio C. B. McClintock of Canton, candidate for attorney- general. As an independent newspaper Tlie Sun is in favor of McClintock. He is able, clean, conscientious and he lias fought rackets and racketeers for years. As district attorney of Stark county he made a record the entire nation applauded. All men. all women, look alike to C. B. McClintock. And crooks of high and low degree fear liiiii and curse his name. Ohio will need a man t.f McClinteok's ability and pluck in the attorney- general's office next year, and if the people are wise they will place him there. ■ o Don't Be a Bigot THE SL in t CLARENCE W.

VEGETABLE GROWERS School Wfll Be Held On Wednesday, Feb. 26, In Hartville High. A one-day school for vegetable grower's has been arranged by Ormann R. Keyser, for Wednesday, Feb. 26, at 9:30, in the Hartville high school. The program of discussion is as follows: "Soil Fertility and Fertilizer Placement", J. H. Boyd; "New Insecticides and their Uses," T. H. Parks. At 1:00 p.m. the program will be: "Produce Auctions—A New Marketing Idea for Ohio Farmers," J. H. Boyd; "Specific Vegetable Crop Insects and Their Control," T. H. Parks. Anyone interested is invited to attend. Bode, does not belong to our modern world at all, yet to him is due the simile, "Like oil on the troubled waters," which most people believe to be out of the Bible. To the Scriptures, too, they ascribe a second familiar aphorism, "Cleanliness is next to godliness," which was really in a sermon of John Wesley's and which leads naturally to that rather cruel title bestowed on a section of the community by Chancellor Lord Brougham, who first talked of "the great Unwashed." t t t HE following are short verses which everybody knows; the second, by the way, being usually misquoted: Tender-handed stroke n nettle And It stings you for your pains, Grasp it like a man of mettle And it soft as silk remains. And First then, a woman will, or won't, depend on't, If she will do't, she will, and there's an end on't. Everybody knows them, certainly, but everybody has ungratefully for-i gotten Aaron Hill, the dramatist and contemporary of Alexander Pope. Hill. wrote them. A successful playright in his age was Charles Macklin, and from his two finest plays have descended two ever-green sayings: "You are as welcome as tiie flowers in May," from "Love a la Mode," and "She looks a.s if butter would not melt in her mouth," from "The Man of the World." To a forgotten and not very good play, "Falstaff's Wedding," by William Kendrick, we owe that picturesque description of prison, "durance vile." t t t NOBODY has any interest today in the comedies of Susannah Cent- livre, who married Queen Anne's chef. She was guilty of one redeeming lapse from mediocrity in that apt name for a paragon, "the real Simon Pure." Thomas Morton and his ''Speed the [Continued on page two] took the lead and at times looked ;is if they might turn in a winner but •failure to hit the basket within easy range and poor headwork in tlie passing game proved too much handicap. The North Canton varsity stepped out to an 8-3 lead by the end of the first period but Uniontown staged a comeback in the second period to come within one point of tieing. A spurt near the end of the quarter gave North Canton a five point lead at halftime, 14 to 9. With a fast passing attack in the third period North Canton hit the loop from all sides and completely smothered their opponents before the quarter ended 32 to Hi. Frequent substitutions seemed to hamper the style of North Canton and they failed to connect for a single point in the final period while Union- town added nine points. A.J. Files As Candidate For Office of Stark ! County Recorder. A. J. Willaman, candidate for the! Republican nomination as County Recorder was born on a farm one mile, southeast of North Canton. He re-' ceived his elementary education in thi Clarence W. Portmann, Massillon attorney, took out a petition yesterday for Common Pleas Judge of Stark county. A graduate of the Western Reserve University School of Law, and an active member of the Stark County Bar association, Mr. Portmann in 192H was appointed Judge of the Massillon municipal coprt by Senator A. V. Donahey, then Governor of Ohio, to fill an unexpired term, 'i lie following year lie was elected to a full term by the largest majority ever accorded a judicial candidate in Massillon. When Common Pleas Judge Charles Krichbaum, a candidate for re-election in 1!):50, died 17 days before election, the Stark County Democratic committee selected Mr. Portmann to succeed him as the party's candidate. Despite his belated entry into the campaign, Mr. Portmann was only defeated by 733 votes. His opponent was Common Pleas Judge Joseph Floyd, who will be a candidate for re-election this year. It is believed that both Mr. Portmann and Judge Floyd will be nominated without opposition. Voluntarily retiring from the Massillon bench at the expiration of his term in 1031, Mr. Portmann returned to the private practice of law and gave considerable of his time to civic and veteran activities. He organized the Massillon Safety council, of which ho is chairman, and actively associated himself with the Stark County Safety council of which ho is a director. He served two years as president of the Drum and Bugle corps; of Massillon Post No. 221, American Legion, and in 11)31 was Commander of the Massillon Post. He is also active in county and state Legion affairs. He is chairman of the SUN puts the political bigot tho same class with the religious bigot. The primary business cf the Church is to make good citizens. As someone reminds us, Christianity was started not so much to get men into heaven as to get heaven into mon. "Heaven in men" would insure the right kind of Christian citizenship. And it isn't necessary to belong to any one religion or creed—call it what you will—to enjoy a monopoly on goodness. It is the same with voting. As The iisiiiTocK SI. Clairsville (O.) Chronicle Sees Him a Champion of the People. In Sun has repeatedly pointed out in this column, the frequent triviality and blindness of motive behind political action is often amazing. Attitudes on great issues are too often determined by party and personal animosities, or by preference for tin; lino of least resistance, or by some narrow visionless so-called patriotic* catchword. As someone has said: Our course is directed by "combinations of secondary anil utterly inadequate motives." Great opportunities for righting wrongs, for introducing; a new spirit] into human relationships are repeatedly missed, through lack of vision. I The whole world, it has been said wilh | reason, is full nf tho wreckage due i to misdirected "practical activity." ' If you doubt the above statement, take a glance at a number of nien seeking public office in Ohio. Many of them are mere opportunists, or emotionalists, without real knowledge of public affairs. They are a greater danger to the taxpayers than a blind man at a ship's helm crossing the Atlantic. Yet people vote for them and seemingly have faith in them—the blind misting the blind. Too easily people surrender to passion and emotion and act blindly and unthinkingly without any idea ol ultimate direction or larger issues. So many of those otherwise qualified to vote are absolutely incapable of thinking an issue through or divesting themselves of prejudice.

Telling of the Activities of North Canton American Legion Post No. 419 and of the Legion Auxiliary The second of four monthly dinners was served to the Post members by the Auxiliary on Monday evening. When it comes to preparing a good meal, our Auxiliary is second to none. We were favored with an after- dinner talk by our friend Ben Long, who was a war correspondent with the U. S. fleet during the Spanish- American war in 1898. Some of the incidents narrated by Mr. Long are not found in history books, but would make interesting reading if they were published. We are gr*ateful to Mr. Long for his cooperation. We also had the pleasure of having Mrs. Eleanore Hall, editor of Tho Sun, and Comrade S, A. (Si) Wheeler, 10th district commander as our guests. Commander Wheeler also addressed the members in the regular Post meeting, which followed the dinner. "Si" says we are falling behind in membership, so it is up to us to get our dues in as soon as possible. He also explained in detail a part of the American Legion program.

B. McClintock, prominent Canton attorney, will enter the Republican primaries with a record seldom surpassed by lawyers under fifty. Mr. McClintock was born forty-eight years ago in Wayne county. As prosecuting attorney of Stark county, he disposed of 700 cases, of which only four were acquittals by jury. Among the cases successfully handled by Prosecutor McClintock while in office were two famous newspaper headline stories. One was the murder of Don P.. Mellett, editor of the Canton Daily News, and the other was the kidnapping of another editor, Frank A. Hoiles—editor of the Alliance Review. In addition to having served as prosecuting attorney, McClintock served two terms in congress—representing the sixteenth district of Ohio, known as the "Old McKinley District." He is a graduate of Western Reserve Law School and also attended Mt. Union and Wooster colleges. The candidate is married and lives at 1023 Fourteenth street N. W., Canton. His offices are in the First National Bank building, in the same city.—St. Clairsville (O.)

The blaze was j discovered about (i:-!5 by Loren Ebie, j when he went to the station to take out his truck on the morning round. | Ho endeavored to put out Ihe blaze I with a chemical extinguisher but later called the lire department when it got beyond his control. Mr. Ebie suffered severe burns about his face and hands when he attempted to drive his gasoline truck from the building. The building, containing office, garage and storage place, was completely destroyed together with 2,500 gallons of oil. For a time it was thought the blaze might spread to the upright tanks containing 35,000 gallons of gasoline.

"Where can 1 find information concerning the Supreme Court'.'" "Can you give me a copy of tbe Constitution of Ohio and when the Amendments to it were adopted?" These questions are being asked daily at the North Canton Library since the Constitution has been made a political issue. Reference work makes up a large part of the activity at the library. The librarian's report for the year 1935 shows 2608 questions answered during the -ear, an average of one Question each hour the library was open. When one considers the time required to find much of this information, it accounts for a great deal of the time of the librarian. j Of course it is not possible to answer all questions. For instance: A youth hurried to the desk saying, "Can you find me an antidote?" The librarian was somewhat alarmed with visions of the baby having raided the medicine chest and asked, "An antidote for what?" The reply came, "Why an antidote for school, of course." Needless to say the request : could not be filled but an anecdote ■ was found which proved quite satisfactory. However, a conscientious effort is made to supply the information sought and if it can not be found in the material on file at the library, a letter is dispatched to the department of State or Nation most likely to supply it. A recent request for knowledge on the planting and raising of broomcorn brought pamphlets from Washington. A request for information on the care of furs was answered by a pamphlet in the "Better Buy- manship" series on file. The librarians are glad to have requests brought to them and will try to secure the needed help in each case. W. B. A. Club W. B. A.

Many of his happiest hours have been spent browsing between the covers of volumes whose authors are unknown to the present generation of readers of books. In Cincinnati last summer this writer bought several old books lie would not exchange today for the average so-called private library. Naturally the volumes purchased in Cincinnati were printed in England several hundred years ago or long before the art of printing was introduced into America. Two of the books were translated from the German, and as this writer looks at them today he wonders, as he reads the common sense in them, what has happened to the German people that they bow their heads to a fanatic like Hitler; people capable of writing the most beautiful thoughts in any language? t t t IN a happy and inspired moment a bygone writer penned a phrase or sentence which possessed the indefinable quality of momorableness, and although his vogue is over and he may be only a name now—sometimes not even that except to students and historians—this one apt saying which caught the popular fancy has become I an integral part of the literature of I Drawings for the annual Stark county class B basketball tournament were made in Navarre on Saturday during the teachers' institute. The tournament will be held again this year in the Canton city auditorium ami will start at twelve noon on next Friday, February 21. Canton township and Uniontown will lift oir the lid when they meet as game number one. North Canton high school will get into action at 4:00 o'clock the same afternoon when they meet the strong Jackson township outfit. Both teams have been in and outers during the season and the battle should be one of the closest in the first round. The Jackson township team will have the advantage of size and height but North Canton should have the advantage in speed and fast passing. This will be one of the games that must be played to determine the winner. The winner of this match will meet the winner of the Waynesburg-Green- town game at 1 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. The loser will meet the loser of the Middlebranch-East Sparta fray. Other first round games include: Hartville-East Canton at 2:00 on Friday; Marlboro-Beach City at 1:00; Navarre-Brewster at 3:00; Middlebranch-East Sparta at 5:00; Waynes- burg-Greentown at 0:00. There will be no games on Friday night but the tournament will be resumed on Saturday afternoon and evening. North Canton vs. Uniontown North Canton high school closed I their league basketball season in I Uniontown on Friday night. The North Canton reserves dropped their! game 27 to 20 and the varsity won.' 32 to 25.

VEGETABLE GROWERS School Wfll Be Held On Wednesday, Feb. 26, In Hartville High. A one-day school for vegetable grower's has been arranged by Ormann R. Keyser, for Wednesday, Feb. 26, at 9:30, in the Hartville high school. The program of discussion is as follows: "Soil Fertility and Fertilizer Placement", J. H. Boyd; "New Insecticides and their Uses," T. H. Parks. At 1:00 p.m. the program will be: "Produce Auctions—A New Marketing Idea for Ohio Farmers," J. H. Boyd; "Specific Vegetable Crop Insects and Their Control," T. H. Parks. Anyone interested is invited to attend. Bode, does not belong to our modern world at all, yet to him is due the simile, "Like oil on the troubled waters," which most people believe to be out of the Bible. To the Scriptures, too, they ascribe a second familiar aphorism, "Cleanliness is next to godliness," which was really in a sermon of John Wesley's and which leads naturally to that rather cruel title bestowed on a section of the community by Chancellor Lord Brougham, who first talked of "the great Unwashed." t t t HE following are short verses which everybody knows; the second, by the way, being usually misquoted: Tender-handed stroke n nettle And It stings you for your pains, Grasp it like a man of mettle And it soft as silk remains. And First then, a woman will, or won't, depend on't, If she will do't, she will, and there's an end on't. Everybody knows them, certainly, but everybody has ungratefully for-i gotten Aaron Hill, the dramatist and contemporary of Alexander Pope. Hill. wrote them. A successful playright in his age was Charles Macklin, and from his two finest plays have descended two ever-green sayings: "You are as welcome as tiie flowers in May," from "Love a la Mode," and "She looks a.s if butter would not melt in her mouth," from "The Man of the World." To a forgotten and not very good play, "Falstaff's Wedding," by William Kendrick, we owe that picturesque description of prison, "durance vile." t t t NOBODY has any interest today in the comedies of Susannah Cent- livre, who married Queen Anne's chef. She was guilty of one redeeming lapse from mediocrity in that apt name for a paragon, "the real Simon Pure." Thomas Morton and his ''Speed the [Continued on page two] took the lead and at times looked ;is if they might turn in a winner but •failure to hit the basket within easy range and poor headwork in tlie passing game proved too much handicap. The North Canton varsity stepped out to an 8-3 lead by the end of the first period but Uniontown staged a comeback in the second period to come within one point of tieing. A spurt near the end of the quarter gave North Canton a five point lead at halftime, 14 to 9. With a fast passing attack in the third period North Canton hit the loop from all sides and completely smothered their opponents before the quarter ended 32 to Hi. Frequent substitutions seemed to hamper the style of North Canton and they failed to connect for a single point in the final period while Union- town added nine points. A.J. Files As Candidate For Office of Stark ! County Recorder. A. J. Willaman, candidate for the! Republican nomination as County Recorder was born on a farm one mile, southeast of North Canton. He re-' ceived his elementary education in thi Clarence W. Portmann, Massillon attorney, took out a petition yesterday for Common Pleas Judge of Stark county. A graduate of the Western Reserve University School of Law, and an active member of the Stark County Bar association, Mr. Portmann in 192H was appointed Judge of the Massillon municipal coprt by Senator A. V. Donahey, then Governor of Ohio, to fill an unexpired term, 'i lie following year lie was elected to a full term by the largest majority ever accorded a judicial candidate in Massillon. When Common Pleas Judge Charles Krichbaum, a candidate for re-election in 1!):50, died 17 days before election, the Stark County Democratic committee selected Mr. Portmann to succeed him as the party's candidate. Despite his belated entry into the campaign, Mr. Portmann was only defeated by 733 votes. His opponent was Common Pleas Judge Joseph Floyd, who will be a candidate for re-election this year. It is believed that both Mr. Portmann and Judge Floyd will be nominated without opposition. Voluntarily retiring from the Massillon bench at the expiration of his term in 1031, Mr. Portmann returned to the private practice of law and gave considerable of his time to civic and veteran activities. He organized the Massillon Safety council, of which ho is chairman, and actively associated himself with the Stark County Safety council of which ho is a director. He served two years as president of the Drum and Bugle corps; of Massillon Post No. 221, American Legion, and in 11)31 was Commander of the Massillon Post. He is also active in county and state Legion affairs. He is chairman of the SUN puts the political bigot tho same class with the religious bigot. The primary business cf the Church is to make good citizens. As someone reminds us, Christianity was started not so much to get men into heaven as to get heaven into mon. "Heaven in men" would insure the right kind of Christian citizenship. And it isn't necessary to belong to any one religion or creed—call it what you will—to enjoy a monopoly on goodness. It is the same with voting. As The iisiiiTocK SI. Clairsville (O.) Chronicle Sees Him a Champion of the People. In Sun has repeatedly pointed out in this column, the frequent triviality and blindness of motive behind political action is often amazing. Attitudes on great issues are too often determined by party and personal animosities, or by preference for tin; lino of least resistance, or by some narrow visionless so-called patriotic* catchword. As someone has said: Our course is directed by "combinations of secondary anil utterly inadequate motives." Great opportunities for righting wrongs, for introducing; a new spirit] into human relationships are repeatedly missed, through lack of vision. I The whole world, it has been said wilh | reason, is full nf tho wreckage due i to misdirected "practical activity." ' If you doubt the above statement, take a glance at a number of nien seeking public office in Ohio. Many of them are mere opportunists, or emotionalists, without real knowledge of public affairs. They are a greater danger to the taxpayers than a blind man at a ship's helm crossing the Atlantic. Yet people vote for them and seemingly have faith in them—the blind misting the blind. Too easily people surrender to passion and emotion and act blindly and unthinkingly without any idea ol ultimate direction or larger issues. So many of those otherwise qualified to vote are absolutely incapable of thinking an issue through or divesting themselves of prejudice.

Telling of the Activities of North Canton American Legion Post No. 419 and of the Legion Auxiliary The second of four monthly dinners was served to the Post members by the Auxiliary on Monday evening. When it comes to preparing a good meal, our Auxiliary is second to none. We were favored with an after- dinner talk by our friend Ben Long, who was a war correspondent with the U. S. fleet during the Spanish- American war in 1898. Some of the incidents narrated by Mr. Long are not found in history books, but would make interesting reading if they were published. We are gr*ateful to Mr. Long for his cooperation. We also had the pleasure of having Mrs. Eleanore Hall, editor of Tho Sun, and Comrade S, A. (Si) Wheeler, 10th district commander as our guests. Commander Wheeler also addressed the members in the regular Post meeting, which followed the dinner.

B. McClintock, prominent Canton attorney, will enter the Republican primaries with a record seldom surpassed by lawyers under fifty. Mr. McClintock was born forty-eight years ago in Wayne county. As prosecuting attorney of Stark county, he disposed of 700 cases, of which only four were acquittals by jury. Among the cases successfully handled by Prosecutor McClintock while in office were two famous newspaper headline stories. One was the murder of Don P.. Mellett, editor of the Canton Daily News, and the other was the kidnapping of another editor, Frank A. Hoiles—editor of the Alliance Review. In addition to having served as prosecuting attorney, McClintock served two terms in congress—representing the sixteenth district of Ohio, known as the "Old McKinley District." He is a graduate of Western Reserve Law School and also attended Mt. Union and Wooster colleges. The candidate is married and lives at 1023 Fourteenth street N. W., Canton. His offices are in the First National Bank building, in the same city.—St. Clairsville (O.)

Mr. Ebie suffered severe burns about his face and hands when he attempted to drive his gasoline truck from the building. The building, containing office, garage and storage place, was completely destroyed together with 2,500 gallons of oil. For a time it was thought the blaze might spread to the upright tanks containing 35,000 gallons of gasoline.

"Where can 1 find information concerning the Supreme Court'.'" "Can you give me a copy of tbe Constitution of Ohio and when the Amendments to it were adopted?" These questions are being asked daily at the North Canton Library since the Constitution has been made a political issue. Reference work makes up a large part of the activity at the library. The librarian's report for the year 1935 shows 2608 questions answered during the -ear, an average of one Question each hour the library was open. When one considers the time required to find much of this information, it accounts for a great deal of the time of the librarian. j Of course it is not possible to answer all questions. For instance: A youth hurried to the desk saying, "Can you find me an antidote?" The librarian was somewhat alarmed with visions of the baby having raided the medicine chest and asked, "An antidote for what?" The reply came, "Why an antidote for school, of course." Needless to say the request : could not be filled but an anecdote ■ was found which proved quite satisfactory. However, a conscientious effort is made to supply the information sought and if it can not be found in the material on file at the library, a letter is dispatched to the department of State or Nation most likely to supply it. A recent request for knowledge on the planting and raising of broomcorn brought pamphlets from Washington. A request for information on the care of furs was answered by a pamphlet in the "Better Buy- manship" series on file. The librarians are glad to have requests brought to them and will try to secure the needed help in each case. W. B. A. Club W. B. A.
