DAYEY HVORS BIBLE SUNDAY, DEC, Trusts the People of Ohio Will Back the Movement. Special to The Sun Columbus, December 2—^Governor Martin L. Davey urges the churches of Ohio to observe Universal Bible Sunday on next Sunday, December 6. The churches of the nation will also unite next'Sunday in the observance of Universal Bible Sunday. They will remind the people of the nation of the unrivalled place which this great hook has had in the making of our nation and the nations -of the world. The celebration, as formerly, is sponsored by the American Bible Society by whose -uninterrupted missionary activities, now in their 120th year, more than 268,000,000 volumes of Sajriptures have been distributed in more than forty countries and in 175 •languages. . In endorsing Universal Bible Sunday, Governor Davey.says:'"I.am haj)- py'to register my enthusiasm over this annual and traditional observance of Universal'Bible Sunday to be observed this year -on December 6. "I .believe it will be a fine thing for people to be invested with a new ! „, ,.. „ , , . „ . -. Lovrtedge of the worth and.value of j.^*^™ ^JZ^IZ X ■the Bible, and I earnestly hope that -Ohio's citizens will join full-heartedly on the occasion;" ToMWtitibvt Vamish hy Ben Long The Average Reformer A READING of history shows that humanity advances slowly and ■ that, ho matter how worthy the cause, it must face such obstacles as ignorance,' suiwrstition and .greed all along the road. It seems to 'be characteristic of human nature to regard with suspicion sincere men in the service of church, state, law, medicine, journalism, aWdi other professions and trades, never stopping to think that many of the leaders care more for humanity than they do for money. True reformers face many obstacles, in some instances ostracism and death. Frequently the things they advocate are turned down flat during their lifetime or are blocked for years by powerful interests. Take the parcel post for example. For years two men in the U. S. Senate, Depew and Piatt, of New York, one a Central railroad official, the other a United Express stockholder, assisted by a few Senators in the pay of organized greed, blocked efforts to pass the bill. And yet such a means of shipping parcels had been in effect in England since 1882. * "A minor case," you say. Certainly, but a reform affecting millions of people*. Even -daily bathing had to meet .organized opposition. Merely another case of ignorance and greed. Don't forget the latter, it enters into everything in this world. rSEE are -reformers the majority of people i-espect; on the other hand- there are men and women posing'as reformers whose sole object in life is creating trouble for all mankind. The happiest hours in the lives of such persons are when they are engaged in trying 'to wreck perfectly good reputations. Men and women occupied in the noble work of salvaging humanity enjoy the profoundest respect of this writer, and men and women whose contributions of "time or money in behalf of a better nation, or a "better world, are entitled to every consideration and seats in the halls of the great. Another class of men and women entitled to the respect of the, world are honest political reformers!" They are the backbone of the land. They are willing to risk their lives, their reputations and their jobs, whether as employers or employes, to make the city, county, state and nation fit places for the average man and women to live in. Being intelligent, they do their own thinking, and what is more to the point, their own voting on election day. Such persons by their bold defiance of crooks in high places have "kept this nation from decaying and falling to pieces. Their work was shown in New York city a few years ago when they kicked out of office Judges and other officials friendly to the Jimmy Walker crowd. The mayor was punk, the prosecuting attorney was a farce, and certain city police magistrates and Judges were so rotten that when true-*blue reformers began hammering them they resigned, too cowardly to face in a courtroom innocent men and women they had sent to prison at the request of the underworld. Philadelphia—''corrupt and contented"—(expression first used by Elihu Root when a member of Theodore .Roosevelt's cabinet) served notice on the political bosses in that town on November 3 that in future the people would do their own thinking and own voting. Having worked on several newspapers in that town from 1S88 to 1902 I never expected to see the day when reformers could defeat the corrupt political machine in that .city.

Three courts will be avail Contains the Program of Ladies' Literary Club. The year book of the Ladies' Literary club was printed in The Sun office this week. The cover is coral leatherette, printed in gold and black. The inside pages, in black, show a prudent use of type. The entire book is a credit to those responsible for its production. In this connection it is only fair to Mrs. Frank C. Wise, chairman of the committee, to say that she furnished excellent copy to the printers. For years The Sun has been printing the year book, and in the language of one of our printers, "You can always bank on good copy from the ladies of the Literary club. I have, been putting the program in type for several years and I haven't a kick coming on their copy." The program is one of interest and .will furnish food for thought during the year. billyImeThurt Victim of Hit and' Run Driver On* Monday Evening. William Hinkel, owe of North Canton's most respected citizens, is in his home on West Maple street recovering from bruises h& received when knocked down by an auto on Monday evening while crossing the Square from The Citizens Building and Loan Company's building to the Acme corner. The driver was against tlie light, say witnesses, and after he knocked Mr. Hinkel down he stopped his car and assisted the injured man to tlie pavement. "Wait until I turn my car around, As The Sun Sees It Without Prejudice *-"*' HAPPY DOLLAR DAYS SURELY HERE AGAIN Christmas Seal Time c°-; OPERATION with the Tuberculosis association is a December custom of such long standing that we need do no more than remind our readers of the fact that it is once again Christmas Seal time. That is, we are sure, the only word required to make the annual campaign a complete success. From the sale of these seals anil from voluntary contributions throughout the year the money is raised which enables the Tuberculosis association to perform a multitude of good deeds and continue its admirable work in the interest of community welfare. Through its efforts thousands of citizens who otherwise would have succumbed to the ravages of a serious disease have been' restored to health and to active participation in the everyday affairs of men and women. It is a cause which deserves universal support. o The Know-It-Ails BASEBALL, football, bowling, basketball, volleyball, tennis, boxihg, wrestling fans, yea even badminton fans, if just average, are never at a loss to find errors in the work of players, and the star of today or tonight becomes a bum tomorrow if he (or she) muffed a play while the contest raged. A few lines above we mentioned "badminton fans." As that game is something new in North Canton we must wait until Willis Wood, Arnold Post and others doing the tutoring locate the gait of the recruits they are drilling to play it before passing an opinion. That is The Sun will wait, but not able and will accommodate 12 players at one time. Roy Bobbitt and thive other players from Canton demonstrated the game to a number of folks last Friday evening, and interest is now running high. Arnold Post is chairman of tlie committee to promote the game in North-Canton. ..,• , WEDDED 50 YEARS Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Hinton Will Receive Friends On Friday. Mr. and Mrs. J. C.

Our tumbling team will journey to Middlebranch on Thursday evening to take part in a gym program sponsored by Mr. Geib of that city. Those who will go from North Canton are: Paul Thompson, Jack Willaman, Bob McCue, Jr. McCue, Jas. Howe, Geo. Schick and W. H. Wood. The young men's Athletic club is now in full swing. On Saturday evening they defeated Hartville Monarch Rubber Co.'s basketball club to the tune of 18-12.

[Continued on back page] doesn't know even the first thing about badminton. That in his judgment wouldn't be sportsmanship. What the average carping critic knows about any kind of a game could be written on the back of a two-cent stamp. But it tickles his vanity to "shoot off his mouth." On the other hand, fast, clean, capable players take defeat gracefully, just as they do victory. That's the difference between sportsmanship and blab. Another bone-rattler is "the government critic." It makes no difference whether Democrats or Republicans are sailing the Ship of State at Washington, they "don't know their business." Saturday the State Department sternly ordered the young man in charge of tlie American embassy in Madrid to "close up and get out." The ambassador had left several days before. No boy standing on the burning deck stuff for your Uncle Samuel this year. And yet we read on Monday and Tuesday that "many thinking Americans realize that this country has lost prestige in Europe by issuing such an order." It is idle to talk of a loss of prestige in such a case. Why should American lives be endangered and perhaps sacrificed in the interest of a prestige likely to prove powerless to protect them? These so-called "thinking Americans" evidently belong to the same old crowd we had in this country in 1914 when they tried.to force us into war the minute Europe became a living hell. Such Americans are willing to sacrifice the other fellows' sons if it will increase their wealth, and that is the only reason they talk about "loss of prestige." But they can't fool the people a second time.

Santa Claus dropped into the Citizens Building and Loan Company handsome offices on the Square in North Canton yesterday. Take a look at the bag he was carrying when Ralph Young introduced the genial old gentleman to this writer for The Sun. "Rather a large pack on your back," said The Sun man. MEET THIS EVENING Members of Community Building Group Enjoying Life. Monday, November 23, seven members of our club motored to Canton to see the movie "Come and Get It" at Loew's theater. Monday evening, November* 30, at 6:00 the Alumae Girls had a pot luck supper. It proved to be a delightful occasion attended by club members only.

As announced in The Sun last week, sixteen water colors by Paul Shively of New York city are on exhibition on the walls of the North Canton Public Library, and many persons have viewed them. Artist Shively's pictures have been accepted in the large galleries throughout the east and they are unusual by reason of the speed and dash in which they are done.

The roll call was the high light of the annual three-day conference of the department officers. It was the greatest membership landslide in American Legion history. The 448,559 memberships for 1937 exceeded by 181,831 the advance enrollment of 266,827 obtained in the roll call a year ago. It surpassed by 125,- 001 members the former record of 323,558 set in tlie third annual roll call on November 19, 193J. It topped by 17,320 the 431,339 members witli which the Legion started January 1, 1SJ36, which thus far is the all-time high advance membership mark for the beginning of a new calendjir year. Out of the War There Came Some Good (The following editorial about the work of the American Legion and what it stands for was printed by The Bucyrus Telegraph-Forum. It was written by R. R. Peters, the editor, Who is not a veteran of the World War. It is a beautiful expression.) The world has bowed again in silent tribute to tlie men who died and salutes those who survive*! that world democracy might be preserved. It was 18 years ago that an armistice silenced the guns of a dozen nations and opened the gates to renewed peace. Since then ever**.thing that can be said of the soldier'has hoen said? cv So Reports Clerk of Courts C. Frank Sherrard This W«2ck. C. Frank Sherrard, clerk of the Common Pleas Courts, gives the. following information from the bill of sale department: For the month of November, there were 700 new car registrations and 2572 used, with fees collected totaling $1072.75. New car registrations would havo been higher if the dealers could secure deliveries. Many dealers report that they have many unfilled orders outstanding. AT HI-Y CONFERENCE Jackson Twp. Is W. H. Gray of West Maple Street. Did you ever meet W. H. Gray of West Maple street, North Canton ? He is state manager for the American Oil and Paint Company, roof coating specialists of Cleveland. j Having handed that free advertise- j ment, let us proceed to question Mr. j Gray. "At one time you were active in school affairs in Jackson town- I ship?" I Mr. Gray modestly acknowledges that he took more than a passing interest in tlie township, and he also suggests that the interviewer "forget Gray and talk about Jackson school." The Sun man assured Mr. Gray that "it is a good school." "Good school! It is the best school in Ohio." Then he explained what the school had done and is doing. He mentioned the P.-T. A. of Jackson township and the splendid work it is doing. "Pardon me," said The Sun man, "but as a resident of North Canton are you willing to say that this is the best town of its size in Ohio? You have traveled and should know." "North Canton is a remarkable town; that I'll acknowledge. "But Jackson township is the Garden Spot of the World. It " The Sun writer agreed with Mr. Gray. He left the office feeling that he had put in a lick for old Jackson, although he had in reality put in a thousand licks, and every lick a boost. . o ANNOUNCE ENGAGEMENT INTER-CITY MEETING North Cantor, To Be Host To a Number of Rotary Clubs. Tomorrow (Thursday) evening the North Canton Rotary club will play host to a number of Rotary clubs. It is known as an inter-city meeting. Dinner will be served in the dining hall of The Community Christian church. Harper Garcia Smyth of Cleveland will be the principal speaker. Dr. A. R. Basinger, president of the club, will preside. Several hundred Rotariano will no doubt be present. "I've carried larger and heavier ones into The Citizens Building: and Loan Company office in this town, but that was in the long, long ago.

I Little wonder they are singing I around North Canton "Happy Days Are Here Again." The Citizens Christmas club for 1937 opened yesterday, December 1. "Judging from the way people aro joining the club 1937 is going to be a banner year for this town," said Mr. Young. FIREMEN'S SfflQUET Annual Affair Will Be Held On Saturday Night, Dec. 12. The 14 th annual firemen's banquet will be helil in Zion Reformed church dining hall on Saturday evening, Dec. 12, at 6:00 o'clock. This affair is one of the outstanding events in North Canton each year, and an invitation to the dinner, always an excellent one, is never declined unless the one invited is unable to walk or ride. "If it's in The Sun, it's so." Classmates Greet Betty Miss Betty Jane Gray, a graduate of Jackson township high school, class of 1936, was honored by a group of girls, graduates of the sahie class, in her home' on Friday evening.

Being intelligent, they do their own thinking, and what is more to the point, their own voting on election day. Such persons by their bold defiance of crooks in high places have "kept this nation from decaying and falling to pieces. Their work was shown in New York city a few years ago when they kicked out of office Judges and other officials friendly to the Jimmy Walker crowd. The mayor was punk, the prosecuting attorney was a farce, and certain city police magistrates and Judges were so rotten that when true-*blue reformers began hammering them they resigned, too cowardly to face in a courtroom innocent men and women they had sent to prison at the request of the underworld. Philadelphia—''corrupt and contented"—(expression first used by Elihu Root when a member of Theodore .Roosevelt's cabinet) served notice on the political bosses in that town on November 3 that in future the people would do their own thinking and own voting. Having worked on several newspapers in that town from 1S88 to 1902 I never expected to see the day when reformers could defeat the corrupt political machine in that .city.

The cover is coral leatherette, printed in gold and black. The inside pages, in black, show a prudent use of type. The entire book is a credit to those responsible for its production. In this connection it is only fair to Mrs. Frank C. Wise, chairman of the committee, to say that she furnished excellent copy to the printers. For years The Sun has been printing the year book, and in the language of one of our printers, "You can always bank on good copy from the ladies of the Literary club. I have, been putting the program in type for several years and I haven't a kick coming on their copy." The program is one of interest and .will furnish food for thought during the year. billyImeThurt Victim of Hit and' Run Driver On* Monday Evening. William Hinkel, owe of North Canton's most respected citizens, is in his home on West Maple street recovering from bruises h& received when knocked down by an auto on Monday evening while crossing the Square from The Citizens Building and Loan Company's building to the Acme corner. The driver was against tlie light, say witnesses, and after he knocked Mr. Hinkel down he stopped his car and assisted the injured man to tlie pavement. "Wait until I turn my car around, As The Sun Sees It Without Prejudice *-"*' HAPPY DOLLAR DAYS SURELY HERE AGAIN Christmas Seal Time c°-; OPERATION with the Tuberculosis association is a December custom of such long standing that we need do no more than remind our readers of the fact that it is once again Christmas Seal time. That is, we are sure, the only word required to make the annual campaign a complete success. From the sale of these seals anil from voluntary contributions throughout the year the money is raised which enables the Tuberculosis association to perform a multitude of good deeds and continue its admirable work in the interest of community welfare. Through its efforts thousands of citizens who otherwise would have succumbed to the ravages of a serious disease have been' restored to health and to active participation in the everyday affairs of men and women. It is a cause which deserves universal support. o The Know-It-Ails BASEBALL, football, bowling, basketball, volleyball, tennis, boxihg, wrestling fans, yea even badminton fans, if just average, are never at a loss to find errors in the work of players, and the star of today or tonight becomes a bum tomorrow if he (or she) muffed a play while the contest raged. A few lines above we mentioned "badminton fans." As that game is something new in North Canton we must wait until Willis Wood, Arnold Post and others doing the tutoring locate the gait of the recruits they are drilling to play it before passing an opinion. That is The Sun will wait, but not able and will accommodate 12 players at one time. Roy Bobbitt and thive other players from Canton demonstrated the game to a number of folks last Friday evening, and interest is now running high.

[Continued on back page] doesn't know even the first thing about badminton. That in his judgment wouldn't be sportsmanship. What the average carping critic knows about any kind of a game could be written on the back of a two-cent stamp. But it tickles his vanity to "shoot off his mouth." On the other hand, fast, clean, capable players take defeat gracefully, just as they do victory. That's the difference between sportsmanship and blab. Another bone-rattler is "the government critic." It makes no difference whether Democrats or Republicans are sailing the Ship of State at Washington, they "don't know their business." Saturday the State Department sternly ordered the young man in charge of tlie American embassy in Madrid to "close up and get out." The ambassador had left several days before. No boy standing on the burning deck stuff for your Uncle Samuel this year. And yet we read on Monday and Tuesday that "many thinking Americans realize that this country has lost prestige in Europe by issuing such an order." It is idle to talk of a loss of prestige in such a case. Why should American lives be endangered and perhaps sacrificed in the interest of a prestige likely to prove powerless to protect them? These so-called "thinking Americans" evidently belong to the same old crowd we had in this country in 1914 when they tried.to force us into war the minute Europe became a living hell. Such Americans are willing to sacrifice the other fellows' sons if it will increase their wealth, and that is the only reason they talk about "loss of prestige." But they can't fool the people a second time.

The roll call was the high light of the annual three-day conference of the department officers. It was the greatest membership landslide in American Legion history. The 448,559 memberships for 1937 exceeded by 181,831 the advance enrollment of 266,827 obtained in the roll call a year ago. It surpassed by 125,- 001 members the former record of 323,558 set in tlie third annual roll call on November 19, 193J. It topped by 17,320 the 431,339 members witli which the Legion started January 1, 1SJ36, which thus far is the all-time high advance membership mark for the beginning of a new calendjir year. Out of the War There Came Some Good (The following editorial about the work of the American Legion and what it stands for was printed by The Bucyrus Telegraph-Forum. It was written by R. R.

New car registrations would havo been higher if the dealers could secure deliveries. Many dealers report that they have many unfilled orders outstanding. AT HI-Y CONFERENCE Jackson Twp. Is W. H. Gray of West Maple Street. Did you ever meet W. H. Gray of West Maple street, North Canton ? He is state manager for the American Oil and Paint Company, roof coating specialists of Cleveland. j Having handed that free advertise- j ment, let us proceed to question Mr. j Gray. "At one time you were active in school affairs in Jackson town- I ship?" I Mr. Gray modestly acknowledges that he took more than a passing interest in tlie township, and he also suggests that the interviewer "forget Gray and talk about Jackson school." The Sun man assured Mr. Gray that "it is a good school." "Good school! It is the best school in Ohio." Then he explained what the school had done and is doing. He mentioned the P.-T. A. of Jackson township and the splendid work it is doing. "Pardon me," said The Sun man, "but as a resident of North Canton are you willing to say that this is the best town of its size in Ohio? You have traveled and should know." "North Canton is a remarkable town; that I'll acknowledge. "But Jackson township is the Garden Spot of the World. It " The Sun writer agreed with Mr. Gray. He left the office feeling that he had put in a lick for old Jackson, although he had in reality put in a thousand licks, and every lick a boost. . o ANNOUNCE ENGAGEMENT INTER-CITY MEETING North Cantor, To Be Host To a Number of Rotary Clubs. Tomorrow (Thursday) evening the North Canton Rotary club will play host to a number of Rotary clubs. It is known as an inter-city meeting.

Several hundred Rotariano will no doubt be present. "I've carried larger and heavier ones into The Citizens Building: and Loan Company office in this town, but that was in the long, long ago.
