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.

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.

March Club To Meet
The Elizabeth March club will hold
its annual party with Mrs. Charles
Geidlinger of 405 East Maple street

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.

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. North
Cfnton's lineup was: Ed Marlowe, O.
Heffner, Doc Firestone, Arnold Post,

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.

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

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."

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.

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

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.

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."

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.
