No One Overlooked For several years North Canton lias "tied-up" "with Canton and the money received from the sale of tickets has been turned over to Canton. This does not mean that victims of infantile paralysis in The Sun's district have been overlooked. They have not, as many persons know. North Canton has never "fallen down" when asked to help those needing assistance, and this year The Sun feels confident people will buy tickets for this good cause even though they of the Y. M. C. A.

A small sum to help suffering humanity, especially little children unable to help themselves. Christians from a much higher score. Final score was 38 to 22. The Dueber M.

Schedule this week: Wednesday, January 20, St. Paul vs. Duebers, 8:00 o'clock; Greentown vs. Christians, !):00 o'clock. Reformed Good Performers The Reformed church boys' team coached by Guy Essig upset the dope basket Saturday afternoon when they defeated Paul Bailey's Christian church team in a very well played game, much better than the score would indicate, 35 to 9. The Christians lost one of their better players in Sterling Pollock when he resigned to play with the high school team. Bob Sommers is filling his place, but is a little new yet. The Reformed boys all seemed to get their amount of baskets with Waltenbaugh and Bud Warstler tie for high man with I) points each, while Cossaboom came for 7 points and Kauil'man (i American Neutrality EUROPE is having another war scare. That's not new. We have all been talking and wondering about the future since Mussolini's intentions in Italy were first announced and Hitler assumed power in Germany and proceeded to scrap the Versailles treaty. But dangerous as the situation is, we doubt if war will break within the next few months. There is that inconvenient matter of American war debts and the fact that the great powers are not yet quite ready for war. Until armaments have reached that point of perfection at which military leaders desire to abandon theory and try actual practice, diplomatic situations will„ continue to arise but war will not come. At least that's our guess. However, in the face of what seem.s inevitable every American citizen may well give thought and consideration to VOLLEYBALL TOURNEY For Top, 1 to 1. .

FIRST AIDCLASS Intelligent People Have Confidence in The Sun. They Know It Respects Itself and Its Readers. Told Without Varnish by Ben Long Inauguration Day TODAY Franklin D. Roosevelt was inaugurated President of the United States, and that reminds me that there never was a time like the present for airing opinions. Everybody's doing it. If a fellow can't get anybody to listen to him he just opens his mouth, reels off words and listens to himself. I<t affords an opportunity for letting off steam that has been bubbling over for four years. Five years ago many persons were certain the United States was going to the dogs, regardless of where the dogs might be found. But men change their minds. Today nearly everybody is quite convinced that we won't see the dogs; that'we are climbing the 1 ladder of prosperity and that we'll ! be on the roof "sitting pretty" before I the roses begin to bloom north of the Dixie line. t t t PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has his own opinions, and is doing as he pleases. The rest of us have our opinions as to what he should do. Some think he should do this and that, while others think it should be thus and so, and we're all talking out in meeting. It's a big noise in many- tongues. But that is as it should be. It indicates that we are coming out of our shells and are taking an active interest in public affairs. That is bet-, TTTJT) TJ TJT) ]J\ A V MTP UT ter than nursing a grouch. As long . HMD MlMl MUlll as we talk we will maintain our interest, and as long as our interest ■ lasts we will be doing something ourselves to push prosperity along. , It is a long cry from President | Roosevelt to George Washington, but j it is seasonable on account of what | is going on in Washington this Wednesday afternoon. Politicians and statesmen of the newly-formed nation, the United States of America, were busy in the late summer and fall of 17S8, arranging to put the Constitution which had recently been adopted, into effect. From 1781 to 1789, the United States was governed by the Articles of Confederation, a loose system of government which the jealousy and rivalry of the individual states made imperative. But now the nation was ready for a more centralized form of government. When New Hampshire ratified the Constitution on June 21, 1788, being the ninth state to approve the document and consequently making the Constitution the law of the land, preparations were begun to get this new legal system into operation. Virginia ratified on June 20, 178S, and Now York followed exactly one month later. With the two largest states within the fold, the path was now smooth to change the machinery of, the government. i As The Sun Sees It Without Prejudice FRIDAY NIGHT OPENS IN"SMILIN' THROUGH" i Waste Makes Want WE notice in the many arguments pro and con for this and that an absence of fundamental premises, truths upon which all must agree, and a constant wandering among a maze of unsubstantiated statements and a most disconcerting variety of conclusions. If one is permitted to assume his premises lie can argue to any preconceived conclusion to the confusion of his readers. Let us begin at a fact upon which all will agree. In order to have, we must produce. Production depends upon capital, labor and management. Anything that interferes with either of these essentials of production lessens our production and lowers our standard of living. Wages come from what we produce.

But without effective neutrality legislation and a complete understanding of what it means, we will inevitably become involved. It is, therefore, up to this congress to give the subject careful and detailed study and enact legislation which will help our administration to avoid another war. The absurdity of war as an instrument for the adjustment of international difficulties is best shown by the condition of Europe today.

If we work together efficiently wages will be high, provided there is not too much meddling on the part of "brain trusters" and labor agitators. There is a growing insanity throughout the world that some means may be found, to get something for nothing. Only our combined common sense can prevent, this nation from joining the mob. Here's hoping we still have enough common-sense left to keep us on the right course. ^mSPONSELLER !

That was the important question and the one which was being asked on all sides. George Washington, of course, was the outstanding man for the position. The honor was his if he would accept it.

True, he acted i as presiding oll'icer of the Constitu- ! tional convention anil exerted consid- j erable influence in the struggle for j ratification in Virginia. But as far as i the Presidency of the Government was | concerned, Washington honestly preferred that someone else lake over the burden of leading the nation.

Manufacturing plants are holding schools for their men to study the plan. "Graduates of the school become more efficient, consequently more valuable to their employers. This means a higher rating for the men and places them in line for promotion," said Mr. Johnson.

The People's Paper
For the past two weeks The

asking the people in North Canton .and its vicinity to purchase
tickets for the President's birthday ball. Price of a ticket 50
cents.. .Seventy per cent of the
money received remains in Stark
county; 30 per cent will be used
in finding new ways to combat
infantile paralysis.
As the whole world knows,
FranMin D. Roosevelt after he
left the navy department, fell a
victim to infantile paralysis. For
years he remained an invalid.
After a bitter battle he recovered sufficiently to run for Governor of New York and be elected. All the,while he was planning to help the victims of this
terrible disease. Some one suggested that he permit the use of
his name on the anniversary of
his "birth.

Reformed Good Performers
The Reformed church boys' team
coached by Guy Essig upset the dope
basket Saturday afternoon when they
defeated Paul Bailey's Christian
church team in a very well played

his mouth, reels off words and listens
