ALL THE REAL NEWS AND SPECIAL FEATURES CAREFULLY EDITED READ BY BRIGHT PEOPLE IT SHINES FOR ALL THE PEOPLE IN NORTHERN STARK COUNTY READ BY BRIGHT PEOPLE An Independent Newspaper That Plays No Favorites Among Advertisers or Subscribers, and With One Price To All VOL. 14—NO. 19. .NORTH CANTON, STARK COUNTY, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, 1936. $2.00 PER YEAR. DRAMATIC CLUB PLAY CAPTURES AUDIENCE "Penrod," Staged By Residents of North Canton, Wins Applause In Two Showings In Community Building — Many Attend Performances. GLORY ENOUGH FOR ALL Told Without Varnish by Ben Long Friendly Advice To Jim. Davis The hest play ever given by the Dramatic club was seen on Friday and Saturday evenings when it produced "Penrod" with a different cast of children each evening. One feature of the night, seldom carried out in amateur shows, was noticeable. The play began promptly and moved without waits between acts or any hesitancy in reading lines. Every person in tlie cast on both nights gave a really good performance and much credit is due all who took part on the stage, the director and his assistants, and all those who had charge of the lighting effects, the property, make up, costumes, stage managers, scenic artists, business manager, house manager, ticket and advertising and the publicity manager. It was a happy thought of Dwight Harsh, in charge of the boys' department of the Community Building, when he decided to use a different Cast of children for each night, as it gave opportunity for so many more of the children to take part. The entire production was a real success from every angle. N.C.WOMAIfs'CLUB Carl D. ;Soule of Mt. Union College Will Speak On Monday. The North Canton Woman's club will meet on Monday evening, March 16, in the club room of the Community Building. Carl D. Soule of Mt. Union college will be the guest speaker. His topic will be "Palestine, New and Old." Music will he furnished by Mt. Union college students. This meeting is open and guests are urged to attend. The benefit dessert bridge party held on Friday afternoon and sponsored by the philanthropic committee was attended by over one hundred guests. The tables were decorated in green and white and green hats were the favors. .* * ■ ■ Miss Opal Smith accompanied by Mrs. Otis Jester played a xylophone solo. A style show was presented by the Stem and Mann Co. Awards were received by Mrs. Frank Gygli, Mrs. Clark Shneeberger, Mrs. I. F. Bridenthal and Mrs. H. A. Weida and others. ONCE upon a time, no children we are not telling a bedtime story, a former secretary of labor in a President's cabinet and afterward a United States senator, rose (not arose) in his wrath and demanded an investigation of WPA affairs. James J. Davis, member of the upper branch of congress from Pennsylvania, permits the salty tears to irrigate his cheeks, while his chest heaves and falls in agony over the terrible conditions existing today in America. He shudders with the chills every time the WPA is mentioned. IT IS rarely I go out of my way to criticise a public official. I realize the aforementioned public official is covered with dust before I reach the scene. But with James J. Davis it is slightly different. Having been interrogated himself, he has an idea what torture means. Incidentally, John, when Corey of steel trust notoriety, visited Sharon, Pa., on an official visit and they placed carpet on a gang-plank to permit his sacred feet to cross to the company's executive building of brick was your voice raised in protest the next day when you heard that they had re moved the gangway and rail and that two boys were nearly drowned crossing to work ? Merely a question asked in good faith. At times I've admired you, especially for your devotion to your mother, but when I read in the newspapers of yesterday's date that you are going to allow your voice to "boom" I've reached the conclusion that your boom will be a jib, and a jib, as you know John, is merely a chuck sail thrown out when the breeze is just so-so. In plain words, John, as a former tin-mill worker, you know more about tin than you do of statesmanship. Tin, as you know, rattles. Andrew Mellon's address is Pittsburgh.

A pot-luck dinner will be served at noon. All members are urged to attend. A FEW evenings ago I opened a book written by Bernard Fay and published by Little, Brown & Company of Boston, Mass., entitled "The Two Franklins." One of the Franklins is Benjamin, "the many- sided Franklin," as Paul Leicester Ford, aptly termed him, one of the greatest Americans of all time. His name will loom large in any account of the age in which he lived. His grandson, Benjamin Franklin Bache, printed a newspaper in Philadelphia from 1790 to 1798 and was noted for his attacks on George Washington. There is such a vast difference between the two men, their abilities and their works, that when the author (Prof. Bernard Fay) joins their names as "The Two Franklins" and gives his book the sub-title of "Fathers of American Democracy" the reader feels that Fay is attempting to carry_ a very ordinary man down to posterity on the coat-tails of a very great one. IN 1776 when Dr. Franklin went to France to represent the rebellious colonies he took with him his grandson, aged seven. The boy attended school in Paris and Geneva and returned to America in 1785 with his grandfather and lived with him until his death. After studying* at the University of Pennsylvania, his grandfather set him up as a printer. He started a paper, The General Advertiser and Political, Commercial, Agricultural and Literary Journal—afterwards the Aurora General Advertiser —supported Jefferson, opposed the Federalists, was a leader in the new Democratic party, a steady, hardworking newspaper man, and died of yellow fever in 179S, less than 30 years old. To my way of thinking, the period which forms the subject of the major part of the book, 1785 to 1800, differs little from today, 193G—politically. Alexander Hamilton was the master mind of the Federalists and Washington the symbol of all they stood for. While serving as Washington's secretary of state, Jefferson was secretly instigating; his friends to publish letters critising the President and the administration. [Continued on back page] The fastest volleyball game ever witnessed in North Canton was played last Wednesday evening, March 4, between North Canton and the P. O. C. s of Cleveland, in a four-game series of the Northern Ohio league. North Canton won the first game 15 to 1, getting the jump on Cleveland. In the second game the P. O. Cs staged a strong attack • and took it 15 to 10, also the third game 15 to 9. After a rearrangement of North Canton's team and some keen strategy, they were able to stage the necessary comeback and won 15 to 12, making the standing 2 and 2 in games. North Canton feeis this a real victory since the P. O. Cs are considered one of the strongest teams in the state. Total scores in the four games: North Canton 49, P. O. Cs 43.

X-Club Steps Out of Class The Community Building X-club team sort of stepped out of its class last week playing Freshman teams and while they played a fast snappy game, they were unable to cope with the larger boys due to their reach under the basket. Thursday, March 5, in the game with the Canton Christians, North Canton made 17 points -to Canton's 22. Saturday in the game with Lehman North Canton made 11 points to Lehman's 21. The X-club boys expect to enter the county tournament at Canton the latter part of the month entering the Midget class which is under 16 years of age. North Canton boys average around 14 years and they realize they must play bigger boys. This is the reason they are taking on larger teams at this time. Personnel of X-club: Doyle Workinger, Roderick Watts, Bob Ginther Jr. Sponseller, Wm. Thompson, Wm, Ashbaugh, Wm. Lowther, Paul Spitler, Logan Stahler, Sterling Pollock, Tom Hoover.

Anyone who enjoys an evening at cards is invited to attend. Veterans Compensation The final adjustment of adjusted compensation is, in the opinion of this magazine, an eminently satisfactory solution of the problem. The veteran can have the face value of his certificate as soon as the essential paperwork can be completed, or he can retain his compensation in the form of the most readily cashable security in the world, accumulating three percent interest on it annually up to 1946, or converting it into cash, in whole or in part, at any time before that date, and with the principal guaranteed at one-hundred cents on the dollar. There is much loose capital in this country whose owners would be delighted to have their funds, even to the tune of many millions, invested in a security as safe and paying such a liberal dividend. But they can't come in. Membership in the Adjusted Compensation Bond Club is as exclusive as membership in Tlie American Legion —and for the same reason. The wisdom of the veteran's retaining his adjusted compensation in bond form if his personal situation will permit him to do so is obvious. It is [Continued on back page] ROB THE POOR Of Old Age Pension Checks and Then dash Them. Merchants and other business people who are called upon to cash old age pension checks are being asked by Major M. J. McGinty, administrator of the Stark county old age pension office in the Court House Annex building, to make sure of the identification of the persons for whom they cash such checks. "This is asked primarily as a protection for those who are on the pension rolls," Major McGinty said today. "Before you cash an old age pension check, he sure you know the person for whom you are cashing it. You can identify the checks because they all have printed on them that they are to be paid from Division of Aid for the Aged funds. The checks all bear on the back a warning to be sure of the identity of the person presenting the check before you cash it. "Cases have been reported over the state where checks were stolen from the mails or from the rightful recipient and cashed. In Springfield recently two men were arrested by police and federal operatives, with the aid of pension investigators, and convicted of stealing several pension checks from rural mail boxes. They were given prison terms. "The best rule to follow is this: If someone you do not know presents an old age pension check to be cashed, refer him to a bank, or tell him he will have to get it cashed by someone who knows him. Thus anyone who possesses a pension check illegally will be unmasked, or prevented from cashing it, and the rightful recipient will be protected." BOWLMSCORES N. C. Merchants League W. L. Pet. N. C.

As The Sun Sees It Without Prejudice Mrs. Edna Mansfield YESTERDAY afternoon all that was mortal of Mrs. Edna Mansfield, wife of James H. Mansfield, was laid to rest in the North Canton cemetery. Her death on Saturday in a Canton hospital came as a great shock to the people in this town and its vicinity. A member of Zion Re- formd church for a number of years she gave it her loyal service as long as her strength permitted, and the church is richer for her stable friendship and the poorer for her withdrawal into the unseen. She had a rooted instinct for carrying through whatever responsibility she undertook. One of the marked characteristics of her mind was the wholly unadorned but absolutely just appreciation of the personality and achievement of everyone working* with her. She loved people, especially young people, and they rejoiced in her companionship. Her sincere religious life, unobtrusive but so deep as to radiate its influence wherever she moved, beautified all her deeds. To the sorrowing husband and children The Sun extends its deepest sympathy.. To them she was tho bright light which has become a soft glow, but which will never be extinguished. A gentlewoman of a warm and eager spirit, a great heart and delightful personality, she brought joy and inspiration to all her friends. She was a rare soul and she will be sorely missed in North Canton. o — Pass Sedition Bill THE SUN has received a letter from John B. Trevor, president of the American Coalition, Wash- REVIVAL MEETING Held In Gospel Tabernacle With the Rev. F. W. Cox, Evangelist. THE REV. F. W. COX The revival meeting which commenced in the North Canton Gospel tabernacle on March 4 will continue at least until the 22nd. The meetings are constantly increasing in interest and attendance. The engaged evangelist, the Rev, F. W. Cox now of Massillon, is an able and intelligent expositor of the gospel of Jesus Christ. He is internationally known and has pastored some large and important churches in America. Hs has crossed the seas nine times and preached the gospel in five nations and has seen thousands of people* seek God in his meetings. He has traveled several hundred thousand miles on land and sea and is highly respected among the various Methodist bodies and Holiness associations as an able preacher and a fruitful soul-winner. Prior to his conversion and call to the ministry he was an amateur comedian, big pump and clog dancer. The change that God has made in his life is wonderful. Come and hear this man of God preach the pure gospel of Christ from a heart of love and a tongue of fire. He is non-sectarian. He loves all people. Preaching every night at 7:30 and cn the sabbath at 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. The Rev. Cox also prays for the sick. ington, D. C, in which he asks that this newspaper urge the passage of anti-sedition bills, the objejt of which is to make it a crime "to incite to disaffection any member of the Army and Navy of the United States." The Sun, in its comment, never goes "hay-wire" on men or things. It prefers to weigh the evidence submitted by both sides. But this newspaper sees no reason why any bill making sedition a crime should be opposed in the halls of Congress or anywhere else in the United States. The great fault with this nation is that it permits and tolerates to an alarming extent the hyphen to dominate. Every time you pick up a newspaper or magazine you read that foi*eigners .place first the name of tho country they left when they form social or political clubs. Such an attitude would not be tolerated in any other country. Then whv in the United States'? It is an old saying and a true one that few persons appreciate liberty. Liberty does not mean destroying the hand that feeds you, neither does it permit you to indulge in acts of violence against the government which protects you. The time is coming—and the sooner the better—when the United States government must crash down on reds, pinks and yellows. As stated above, nowhere else are such persons tolerated, and unless America wants to be the laughing stock of the world it will put an end speedily to such fellows. They would exchange the bathtub for the wallow of the gutter. By all means let Congress pass any' bill to rid, or hold in check, promoters of treason in the armed forces of the United States or to arouse sedition in the civil population. FIRE PREVENTION IS EVERYBODY'S AFFAIR Just Ask Yourself, "What Would I Do If Flames Broke Out In My Home Tonight?"—Great Care Is Necessary, Especially In Extreme Cold Weather. CALL NORTH CANTON 9311 N. C. PUBLIC LIBRARY Contest For Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Grades Starts Monday. Plans are being made at the North Canton Library for tho sixth annual display of fine arts. The pictures which will be placed this week are tho work of Cleveland artists and a more detailed description of the collection will be made in The Sun next week. Following the established custom, pupils from the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades will be privileged to enter a contest for reproduction of the pictures and a prize will be given the pupil in each grade making tho best copy. Any pupil wishing to compete in this contest is asked to come to the library after school on Monday, March 16. Miss Pottorf will meet the contestants then and each ono will decide on the canvas to be reproduced. o ■ Mrs. Hall Recovering Mrs. Eleanore Hall is recovering in her home after an operation in Dr. Sheppard's Osteopathic clinic of Cleveland. She is the patient of Dr. H. L. Cox, osteopath in Canton. A father, mother and their five children lost their lives in a farm home in Wisconsin, during the recent sub-zero weather, when a fire caused by over-heated smoke-pipes ignited the building. The father had placed kerosene-soaked corn cobs in the heater to quicken the fire, with the dire result stated, emphasizing again the hazard incident to the use of kerosene to start or quicken fires. Commenting on this tragedy, a bulletin issued by the fire prevention division of the Industrial Commission of Wisconsin, under the caption "If Fire Should Come To-Night," says, among other things: "As usual, panic contributed to the wholesale slaughter. The members of the family all went to the front door, which was locked, and apparently did not think of the many window avenues of escape." The Wisconsin officials point out that "this sad experience strongly emphasizes the necessity ami wisdom of a family conference on what to do in case of' fire." In event of a night fire, the first thing to do is to make certain that every member of the family is awakened and knows of the fire, following which an alarm should be sent to tho nearest fire department. At the recommended family conference, the various means of escape from the building in an emergency should be discussed—outside doors, doors to porches, communicating inside doors to other parts of the building not effected by fire, windows and ladders. In this connection, it is important that a ladder to reach upstair windows should always be readily available. Residents of a city or town having a fire alarm system should see to it that every member of the family knows the location of the nearest alarm box, as also how to turn in an alarm. If reporting a fire by telephone in North Canton call 9311. Fire Chief Joe Smith's phone is 9723. His residence 208 McKinley street. Givu the exact location of the building on fire. The bulletin referred to stresses the point that "one or more approved fire extinguishers should be in plain sight and within easy reach, and* the older members of the family should know how to operate them—directing the chemical stream to the base of the fire." MRS. E. MANSFIELD BURIED ON TUESDAY Large Congregation In Zion Reformed Church Showed the High Esteem In Which She Was Held By Residents of North Canton and Vicinity. RESIDED HERE 15 YEARS Funeral services were held in Zion Reformed church yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon for-Mrs. Edna Mansfield, wife of Former Councilman James H. > Mansfield. Tho Rev. Dr. Melvin E. Beck, pastor of the church, delivered the sermon and he paid a woll-de? served tribute to Mrs. Mansfield. Everyone in the large congregation knew he was saying something worthwhile about a woman they loved. When a distinguished member of Zion Reformed church dies, the choir adds its tribute and in this instance sincerity was written upon all faces. The members realized that one of tho sweetest women North Canton has ever known had gone to her reward. Resided Here 15 Years It was about 15 years ago when Mrs. Mansfield came to North Canton. Immediately she displayed her remarkable ability for doing things to improve the town. One of her "fads," if such it may be called, was her church. This writer for The Sun readily recalls that thirteen years ago she was drilling men, women and children for a pageant and her success was phenomenal. Never really strong, nevertheless she was willing at all times to give of her strength and brilliant intellect to any worthy cause. Left To Mourn Her Besides her husband, she leaves her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George S. Braden of Georgetown, Pa.; a son, Richard, and a daughter, Eleanor of of the home; six sisters, Mrs. Harry Dinger of Canton, Mrs. Clifford Mc- Caman of North Canton, Mrs. James Peacock of Baltimore, Mrs. J. Van Swearingen of Chester, Pa., Mrs. J. Goldstein of Pittsburgh and Mrs. O. E. Gibb of Georgetown, Pa., and two brothers, Edward Braden of Beaver Falls, Pa., and the Rev. Harold Braden of Pottsville, Pa. N. C. SCHOOL NEWS On Friday, March 13, Mt. Union Will Present I'lay In School Building.

DRAMATIC CLUB PLAY CAPTURES AUDIENCE "Penrod," Staged By Residents of North Canton, Wins Applause In Two Showings In Community Building — Many Attend Performances. GLORY ENOUGH FOR ALL Told Without Varnish by Ben Long Friendly Advice To Jim. Davis The hest play ever given by the Dramatic club was seen on Friday and Saturday evenings when it produced "Penrod" with a different cast of children each evening. One feature of the night, seldom carried out in amateur shows, was noticeable. The play began promptly and moved without waits between acts or any hesitancy in reading lines. Every person in tlie cast on both nights gave a really good performance and much credit is due all who took part on the stage, the director and his assistants, and all those who had charge of the lighting effects, the property, make up, costumes, stage managers, scenic artists, business manager, house manager, ticket and advertising and the publicity manager. It was a happy thought of Dwight Harsh, in charge of the boys' department of the Community Building, when he decided to use a different Cast of children for each night, as it gave opportunity for so many more of the children to take part. The entire production was a real success from every angle. N.C.WOMAIfs'CLUB Carl D. ;Soule of Mt. Union College Will Speak On Monday. The North Canton Woman's club will meet on Monday evening, March 16, in the club room of the Community Building. Carl D. Soule of Mt. Union college will be the guest speaker.

The benefit dessert bridge party held on Friday afternoon and sponsored by the philanthropic committee was attended by over one hundred guests.

ONCE upon a time, no children we are not telling a bedtime story, a former secretary of labor in a President's cabinet and afterward a United States senator, rose (not arose) in his wrath and demanded an investigation of WPA affairs. James J. Davis, member of the upper branch of congress from Pennsylvania, permits the salty tears to irrigate his cheeks, while his chest heaves and falls in agony over the terrible conditions existing today in America. He shudders with the chills every time the WPA is mentioned. IT IS rarely I go out of my way to criticise a public official. I realize the aforementioned public official is covered with dust before I reach the scene. But with James J. Davis it is slightly different. Having been interrogated himself, he has an idea what torture means. Incidentally, John, when Corey of steel trust notoriety, visited Sharon, Pa., on an official visit and they placed carpet on a gang-plank to permit his sacred feet to cross to the company's executive building of brick was your voice raised in protest the next day when you heard that they had re moved the gangway and rail and that two boys were nearly drowned crossing to work ? Merely a question asked in good faith. At times I've admired you, especially for your devotion to your mother, but when I read in the newspapers of yesterday's date that you are going to allow your voice to "boom" I've reached the conclusion that your boom will be a jib, and a jib, as you know John, is merely a chuck sail thrown out when the breeze is just so-so. In plain words, John, as a former tin-mill worker, you know more about tin than you do of statesmanship. Tin, as you know, rattles. Andrew Mellon's address is Pittsburgh.

A pot-luck dinner will be served at noon. All members are urged to attend. A FEW evenings ago I opened a book written by Bernard Fay and published by Little, Brown & Company of Boston, Mass., entitled "The Two Franklins." One of the Franklins is Benjamin, "the many- sided Franklin," as Paul Leicester Ford, aptly termed him, one of the greatest Americans of all time. His name will loom large in any account of the age in which he lived. His grandson, Benjamin Franklin Bache, printed a newspaper in Philadelphia from 1790 to 1798 and was noted for his attacks on George Washington. There is such a vast difference between the two men, their abilities and their works, that when the author (Prof. Bernard Fay) joins their names as "The Two Franklins" and gives his book the sub-title of "Fathers of American Democracy" the reader feels that Fay is attempting to carry_ a very ordinary man down to posterity on the coat-tails of a very great one. IN 1776 when Dr. Franklin went to France to represent the rebellious colonies he took with him his grandson, aged seven. The boy attended school in Paris and Geneva and returned to America in 1785 with his grandfather and lived with him until his death. After studying* at the University of Pennsylvania, his grandfather set him up as a printer. He started a paper, The General Advertiser and Political, Commercial, Agricultural and Literary Journal—afterwards the Aurora General Advertiser —supported Jefferson, opposed the Federalists, was a leader in the new Democratic party, a steady, hardworking newspaper man, and died of yellow fever in 179S, less than 30 years old. To my way of thinking, the period which forms the subject of the major part of the book, 1785 to 1800, differs little from today, 193G—politically. Alexander Hamilton was the master mind of the Federalists and Washington the symbol of all they stood for. While serving as Washington's secretary of state, Jefferson was secretly instigating; his friends to publish letters critising the President and the administration. [Continued on back page] The fastest volleyball game ever witnessed in North Canton was played last Wednesday evening, March 4, between North Canton and the P. O. C. s of Cleveland, in a four-game series of the Northern Ohio league. North Canton won the first game 15 to 1, getting the jump on Cleveland. In the second game the P. O. Cs staged a strong attack • and took it 15 to 10, also the third game 15 to 9. After a rearrangement of North Canton's team and some keen strategy, they were able to stage the necessary comeback and won 15 to 12, making the standing 2 and 2 in games. North Canton feeis this a real victory since the P. O. Cs are considered one of the strongest teams in the state. Total scores in the four games: North Canton 49, P. O. Cs 43.

X-Club Steps Out of Class The Community Building X-club team sort of stepped out of its class last week playing Freshman teams and while they played a fast snappy game, they were unable to cope with the larger boys due to their reach under the basket. Thursday, March 5, in the game with the Canton Christians, North Canton made 17 points -to Canton's 22. Saturday in the game with Lehman North Canton made 11 points to Lehman's 21. The X-club boys expect to enter the county tournament at Canton the latter part of the month entering the Midget class which is under 16 years of age. North Canton boys average around 14 years and they realize they must play bigger boys. This is the reason they are taking on larger teams at this time. Personnel of X-club: Doyle Workinger, Roderick Watts, Bob Ginther Jr. Sponseller, Wm. Thompson, Wm, Ashbaugh, Wm. Lowther, Paul Spitler, Logan Stahler, Sterling Pollock, Tom Hoover.

Anyone who enjoys an evening at cards is invited to attend. Veterans Compensation The final adjustment of adjusted compensation is, in the opinion of this magazine, an eminently satisfactory solution of the problem. The veteran can have the face value of his certificate as soon as the essential paperwork can be completed, or he can retain his compensation in the form of the most readily cashable security in the world, accumulating three percent interest on it annually up to 1946, or converting it into cash, in whole or in part, at any time before that date, and with the principal guaranteed at one-hundred cents on the dollar. There is much loose capital in this country whose owners would be delighted to have their funds, even to the tune of many millions, invested in a security as safe and paying such a liberal dividend. But they can't come in. Membership in the Adjusted Compensation Bond Club is as exclusive as membership in Tlie American Legion —and for the same reason. The wisdom of the veteran's retaining his adjusted compensation in bond form if his personal situation will permit him to do so is obvious. It is [Continued on back page] ROB THE POOR Of Old Age Pension Checks and Then dash Them. Merchants and other business people who are called upon to cash old age pension checks are being asked by Major M. J. McGinty, administrator of the Stark county old age pension office in the Court House Annex building, to make sure of the identification of the persons for whom they cash such checks. "This is asked primarily as a protection for those who are on the pension rolls," Major McGinty said today. "Before you cash an old age pension check, he sure you know the person for whom you are cashing it. You can identify the checks because they all have printed on them that they are to be paid from Division of Aid for the Aged funds. The checks all bear on the back a warning to be sure of the identity of the person presenting the check before you cash it. "Cases have been reported over the state where checks were stolen from the mails or from the rightful recipient and cashed. In Springfield recently two men were arrested by police and federal operatives, with the aid of pension investigators, and convicted of stealing several pension checks from rural mail boxes. They were given prison terms. "The best rule to follow is this: If someone you do not know presents an old age pension check to be cashed, refer him to a bank, or tell him he will have to get it cashed by someone who knows him. Thus anyone who possesses a pension check illegally will be unmasked, or prevented from cashing it, and the rightful recipient will be protected." BOWLMSCORES N. C. Merchants League W. L. Pet. N. C.

As The Sun Sees It Without Prejudice Mrs. Edna Mansfield YESTERDAY afternoon all that was mortal of Mrs. Edna Mansfield, wife of James H. Mansfield, was laid to rest in the North Canton cemetery. Her death on Saturday in a Canton hospital came as a great shock to the people in this town and its vicinity. A member of Zion Re- formd church for a number of years she gave it her loyal service as long as her strength permitted, and the church is richer for her stable friendship and the poorer for her withdrawal into the unseen. She had a rooted instinct for carrying through whatever responsibility she undertook. One of the marked characteristics of her mind was the wholly unadorned but absolutely just appreciation of the personality and achievement of everyone working* with her. She loved people, especially young people, and they rejoiced in her companionship. Her sincere religious life, unobtrusive but so deep as to radiate its influence wherever she moved, beautified all her deeds. To the sorrowing husband and children The Sun extends its deepest sympathy.. To them she was tho bright light which has become a soft glow, but which will never be extinguished. A gentlewoman of a warm and eager spirit, a great heart and delightful personality, she brought joy and inspiration to all her friends. She was a rare soul and she will be sorely missed in North Canton. o — Pass Sedition Bill THE SUN has received a letter from John B. Trevor, president of the American Coalition, Wash- REVIVAL MEETING Held In Gospel Tabernacle With the Rev. F. W. Cox, Evangelist. THE REV. F. W. COX The revival meeting which commenced in the North Canton Gospel tabernacle on March 4 will continue at least until the 22nd. The meetings are constantly increasing in interest and attendance. The engaged evangelist, the Rev, F. W. Cox now of Massillon, is an able and intelligent expositor of the gospel of Jesus Christ. He is internationally known and has pastored some large and important churches in America. Hs has crossed the seas nine times and preached the gospel in five nations and has seen thousands of people* seek God in his meetings. He has traveled several hundred thousand miles on land and sea and is highly respected among the various Methodist bodies and Holiness associations as an able preacher and a fruitful soul-winner. Prior to his conversion and call to the ministry he was an amateur comedian, big pump and clog dancer. The change that God has made in his life is wonderful. Come and hear this man of God preach the pure gospel of Christ from a heart of love and a tongue of fire. He is non-sectarian. He loves all people. Preaching every night at 7:30 and cn the sabbath at 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. The Rev. Cox also prays for the sick. ington, D. C, in which he asks that this newspaper urge the passage of anti-sedition bills, the objejt of which is to make it a crime "to incite to disaffection any member of the Army and Navy of the United States." The Sun, in its comment, never goes "hay-wire" on men or things. It prefers to weigh the evidence submitted by both sides. But this newspaper sees no reason why any bill making sedition a crime should be opposed in the halls of Congress or anywhere else in the United States. The great fault with this nation is that it permits and tolerates to an alarming extent the hyphen to dominate. Every time you pick up a newspaper or magazine you read that foi*eigners .place first the name of tho country they left when they form social or political clubs. Such an attitude would not be tolerated in any other country. Then whv in the United States'? It is an old saying and a true one that few persons appreciate liberty. Liberty does not mean destroying the hand that feeds you, neither does it permit you to indulge in acts of violence against the government which protects you. The time is coming—and the sooner the better—when the United States government must crash down on reds, pinks and yellows. As stated above, nowhere else are such persons tolerated, and unless America wants to be the laughing stock of the world it will put an end speedily to such fellows. They would exchange the bathtub for the wallow of the gutter. By all means let Congress pass any' bill to rid, or hold in check, promoters of treason in the armed forces of the United States or to arouse sedition in the civil population. FIRE PREVENTION IS EVERYBODY'S AFFAIR Just Ask Yourself, "What Would I Do If Flames Broke Out In My Home Tonight?"—Great Care Is Necessary, Especially In Extreme Cold Weather. CALL NORTH CANTON 9311 N. C. PUBLIC LIBRARY Contest For Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Grades Starts Monday. Plans are being made at the North Canton Library for tho sixth annual display of fine arts. The pictures which will be placed this week are tho work of Cleveland artists and a more detailed description of the collection will be made in The Sun next week. Following the established custom, pupils from the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grades will be privileged to enter a contest for reproduction of the pictures and a prize will be given the pupil in each grade making tho best copy. Any pupil wishing to compete in this contest is asked to come to the library after school on Monday, March 16. Miss Pottorf will meet the contestants then and each ono will decide on the canvas to be reproduced. o ■ Mrs. Hall Recovering Mrs. Eleanore Hall is recovering in her home after an operation in Dr. Sheppard's Osteopathic clinic of Cleveland. She is the patient of Dr. H. L. Cox, osteopath in Canton. A father, mother and their five children lost their lives in a farm home in Wisconsin, during the recent sub-zero weather, when a fire caused by over-heated smoke-pipes ignited the building. The father had placed kerosene-soaked corn cobs in the heater to quicken the fire, with the dire result stated, emphasizing again the hazard incident to the use of kerosene to start or quicken fires. Commenting on this tragedy, a bulletin issued by the fire prevention division of the Industrial Commission of Wisconsin, under the caption "If Fire Should Come To-Night," says, among other things: "As usual, panic contributed to the wholesale slaughter. The members of the family all went to the front door, which was locked, and apparently did not think of the many window avenues of escape." The Wisconsin officials point out that "this sad experience strongly emphasizes the necessity ami wisdom of a family conference on what to do in case of' fire." In event of a night fire, the first thing to do is to make certain that every member of the family is awakened and knows of the fire, following which an alarm should be sent to tho nearest fire department. At the recommended family conference, the various means of escape from the building in an emergency should be discussed—outside doors, doors to porches, communicating inside doors to other parts of the building not effected by fire, windows and ladders. In this connection, it is important that a ladder to reach upstair windows should always be readily available. Residents of a city or town having a fire alarm system should see to it that every member of the family knows the location of the nearest alarm box, as also how to turn in an alarm. If reporting a fire by telephone in North Canton call 9311. Fire Chief Joe Smith's phone is 9723. His residence 208 McKinley street. Givu the exact location of the building on fire. The bulletin referred to stresses the point that "one or more approved fire extinguishers should be in plain sight and within easy reach, and* the older members of the family should know how to operate them—directing the chemical stream to the base of the fire." MRS. E. MANSFIELD BURIED ON TUESDAY Large Congregation In Zion Reformed Church Showed the High Esteem In Which She Was Held By Residents of North Canton and Vicinity. RESIDED HERE 15 YEARS Funeral services were held in Zion Reformed church yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon for-Mrs. Edna Mansfield, wife of Former Councilman James H. > Mansfield. Tho Rev. Dr. Melvin E. Beck, pastor of the church, delivered the sermon and he paid a woll-de? served tribute to Mrs. Mansfield. Everyone in the large congregation knew he was saying something worthwhile about a woman they loved. When a distinguished member of Zion Reformed church dies, the choir adds its tribute and in this instance sincerity was written upon all faces. The members realized that one of tho sweetest women North Canton has ever known had gone to her reward. Resided Here 15 Years It was about 15 years ago when Mrs. Mansfield came to North Canton. Immediately she displayed her remarkable ability for doing things to improve the town. One of her "fads," if such it may be called, was her church. This writer for The Sun readily recalls that thirteen years ago she was drilling men, women and children for a pageant and her success was phenomenal. Never really strong, nevertheless she was willing at all times to give of her strength and brilliant intellect to any worthy cause. Left To Mourn Her Besides her husband, she leaves her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George S. Braden of Georgetown, Pa.; a son, Richard, and a daughter, Eleanor of of the home; six sisters, Mrs. Harry Dinger of Canton, Mrs. Clifford Mc- Caman of North Canton, Mrs. James Peacock of Baltimore, Mrs. J. Van Swearingen of Chester, Pa., Mrs. J. Goldstein of Pittsburgh and Mrs. O. E. Gibb of Georgetown, Pa., and two brothers, Edward Braden of Beaver Falls, Pa., and the Rev. Harold Braden of Pottsville, Pa. N. C. SCHOOL NEWS On Friday, March 13, Mt. Union Will Present I'lay In School Building.
