After the pages of The Sun containing the Lewis & Greenho advertisement were printed word came lo Lewis & Greenho that the price of the three pieces of furniture should be $78.75 instead of the price printed in the advertisement, $99. The price of1 $99 included an extra bed. Readers of The Sun will do well to carefully read the ads and note how this firm and the other advertising merchants of North Canton aim to give to their customers every possible advantage in a business way. POPPY DAY Thursday, May 27, the Flowers Will Be Sold In North Canton. The loyal women attached to the American Legion Auxiliary in North Canton and-towns served by The Sun are preparing for Poppy day, which will be on Thursday, May 27. Following the custom of former years, the little flower, recalling Flanders Fields and the brave fellows who sleep the eternal sleep there, will go on sale in this town and neighboring villages. Told Without Varnish by Ben Long They Call It "Sport" IF WHAT a sports writer says in his column is true, and I see no reason to doubt his word as he is a reliable man, the average American is not at all a lover of real sport, but is rather an unthinking, morbid, excitment addict whose taste is just about as low as it can get. During a wrestling match a few nights ago the grapplers tried to poke out eyes, kicked each other in the stomach, and indulged in rough and tumble stuff that would not be tolerated even in a lumber camp. "Tho audience roared its pleasure, and the chief shouters were many women and .young girls," says the sports writer. Evidently,they have no rules at so- called wrestling matches these days— or is it nights ?—Just go to it because unthinking crowds are stupid enough to flock and pay their money to see bar-room brawls under the guise of "wrestling." But what must we think when we read that "the chief glee shouters were young women and girls." A man likes to believe that his wife, his sister and his mother are "womenly women." It may be, however, that the male patrons of "rasseling" matches prefer cheap fist-fights and brawls to a little skill and artistry. Naturally they don't want their dames to be too tender-hearted when a guy is kicking a bloke's head through the ropes. 1 o—: Facing the World A FEW more weeks and high schools, colleges and universities will be handing out diplomas and saying "Good Luck" to the graduates. It is well to remember that in the eyes of these boys _ and girls who are just now preparing to claim the world as their rightful possession men and women 50 years of age are old-fashioned and out of time with modern ideas. They believe do these graduates that the graceful thing for a man of 50 to do is. to 'retire and let the younger generation take the helm and steer the ship. In time, however, they will learn that the greatest teacher of all is called Experience, and that to attempt to crowd him off his chair is not a wise thing to do. They will learn, too, that a cheerful disposition is a wonderful help in holding a position; that there are gleams of sunshine even in the toughest job, and that a smile harnessed to pluck puts a young man or woman, in line for promotion, and that the way to achieve anything is to do a little hard work without whining. o ■ Popular As Ever DURING March, April and May The Sun job office printed programs for a number of high schools in Stark and Summit counties and except in two instances the theatrical vehicle chosen was the work of Sir Arthur Sullivan, born on English soil of Irish parents. "The Mikado," "Patience," "Pinafore," "Pirates of Penzance," and a score of other fine operas from ; his gifted pen are as popular today j as they were when Francis Wilson, j De Wolf Hopper and other great stars of the stage amused our grandfathers ! and grandmothers in the Victorian age. Sullivan set lo music Adelaide Ann Proctor's "The Lost Chord" and Baring Gould's "Onward, Christian Soldiers." Ireland has produced many great musicians and song writers. Gilmore and Herbert were Irish, and Gilmore's band was heard around the world. Victor Herbert's enchanting pieces are extremely popular on the radio today. To me Irish songs—sweet and clean as a baby's kiss—will never die. "Bells of Shannon," "The Harp That Once Through Tara's Halls," "Killarney," "Londonderry Air," "Where the River Shannon Flows," "Come Back To Erin," "Kathleen Mavourneen," "The Last Rose of Summer," and dozen others are sweet music to the ear because they carry a human appeal, something many of the present day song writers know little or nothing about. GREENSBURG HIGH IS VISITED BY THE SUN Writer For This Newspaper Finds That Superintendent • Allen H. Kuder, a First Class School Man, Is Surrounded by a Capable Staff and That the Pupils Are Loyal To Teachers. COMMENCEMENT IS NEAR The People's Paper Intelligent People Have Confidence in The Sun. They Know It Respects Itself and Its Readers. See Inside Pages In The Sun Today For Special Features By BEN LONG Being near Greensburg this week I visited the high school presided over by Allen H. Kuder, a genial gentleman and a first-class school man. He is proud of his staff, and the teachers are proud of their superintendent. While there I learned that many of the graduates are employed by The Hoover company in North Canton. That the annual junior and senior banquet will be held on Saturday, May 29, in Spindler's Inn, Cuyahoga Falls, beginning at 7:30, and that it will be strictly. nautical. Presidents of each class will be captains. While the orchestra plays the deck hands will dance ami make merry. That G. H. Reavis, Ohio high school i supervisor, sent a letter to S. A. Bowers, president of Green township board of education, in which he said the Greensburg high school "is continued on the approved list as a high school of the first grade." Mr. Reavis, however, recommended _ that more money be spent for additional equipment in certain departments. Some Clever Athletes That Vern Vinters may become a second Bob Feller. He is a freshman but he gets the ball over the plate in grand style. Fanned 14 batters in seven innings. That Tom Butowicz is one of the best all-round athletes in high school life in Ohio. Others, too, have more than a local reputation in the athletic world.

GOOSEMAN TO SPEAK Before Brotherhood In North Canton On Monday E*.emm>. 10 Pages Today Circulation 3250 swiSlooo BEAUTY AND CLEVER Thirteenth Volume of No-Ca-Hi Is a Work of Art and There Is Not a Dull Line In Its Pages. It Tells of the Activities of the Pupils In All Branches of Education In North Canton. A CREDIT TO EVERYONE ! KARL GOOSEMAN Once again the reading public must hand the applause to the bright young men and women belonging to the class of 1937 for the thirteenth volume of the No-Ca-Hi, although the graduates will frankly tell you that certain teachers worked with them to produce a' beautiful volume, cleverly written. If there is a, dull line in the No-Ca-Hi this writer for The Sun has failed to detect it. Everyone connected with the North Canton high school, from Superintendent T. G. Denton down, takes a keen interest and much pride in the year's history of the school known as No-Ca- Hi, and well they may, for it reflects great credit on members of the staff. Members of the Staff The books were distributed on Friday. The members of the staff who did the work on the annual are: Editor, William Golloway; assistant editor, Merriam Myers; business manager, Robert Beck; assistant business managers, Orville Miller and Elma Climes; literary editor, Angeline Crawford; art editor,,Louise Winger; I feature editor, Mae June Pollock; | athletic editor, Paul Surbey; Junior I representative, Mary Margaret Glass; Sophomore representative, Paul Harrison; Freshman representative, Inez George; eighth grade representative, Thomas Schick; seventh grade representative, Virginia Lesh. Miss Ilea ger, the senior class sponsor, was advisor to the editing part of the work and Mr. Swogger to the business managers'and both did excellent work.

Go Safety authorities of the Travelers Insurance Company, in studying the accident records, have put drivers who are prone to accident in three classes: First, the mentally incompetent driver; second, the physically incompetent driver; third, the driver who has both the brains and the physique to drive carefully, but who is too unsocial and stubborn to use these gifts. Of the three, the last-named type is the most deadly. As The Sun Sees It Without Prejudice The Local Merchant Let changes come. Without changes there is no progress. With all its drawbacks life is still a splendid adventure. The book "Why We Behave Like Human Beings" had a big sale in spite of the fact that most of us don't. "Italians have long memories," says Mussolini. Do they recall a little matter of a two-hillion-dollar war debt? 1 The Rev. Karl Gooseman, stiporin- I tendent of the Good Will mission in \ Canton, will be the special speaker at \ the Brotherhood meeting on Monday ; evening at 7:00 o'clock in the parlor : of Zion Lutheran church on West Maple street. Mr. and Mrs. A. A. ' Swope will sing. | Mr. Gooseman, before he entered j welfare work, was a newspaper ! writer, and he was considered one of J the top-notchers in the profession. He I started as a reporter, became city edi- j tor, and then wound up with the As- I sociated Press as its star man in Pitts- | burgh and western Pennsylvania. It j is a well known fact that when he j resigned from journalism to enter wel- | fare work he cast aside several thousands of dollars annually. Mr. Gooseman is decidely popular in North Canton and counts nearly everyone in the town his friend. When it is publicly announced that he is going to speak he is assured a numerous audience. YEARS AGO the old-time merchant bought his season's supply of merchandise at one time. He filled his shelves and storeroom to capacity and then wailed for the people to come and get it. He didn't advertise because he figured, "everybody knows me anyway." He didn't consider _turn-over, he didn't offer bargain specials. We are not endeavoring to belittle his methods. He was usually a good, careful business man. He contributed notably to the community he served. He enjoyed the confidence of the public. Bui his methods today are outmoded. The business world has changed, and we believe in many ways the change is all in the public interest. Today's live-wire merchant doesn't stock a whole season's supply at one time. He wants to keep his capital moving rapidly. He understands the importance of turn-over. He expects smaller profits but more of them. As a result he advertises his new merchandise, so that the people may 400 MATRONS, MAIDS TAKE PART IN FROLIC One Lady, Mrs. Mathilda Willaman, Is 85 Years of Age, and the Youngest Girl, Margaret Mellon, Is Three Years Old- Largest Turnout of Women Ever Seen In North Canton. AN EXCELLENT PROGRAM know what he has to offer. If he finds that Jie i.s over-stocked in sonic items, he reduces the price, offers the buying public real values in his advertising and turns to something new. He knows it doesn't pay to carry merchandise over from year to year. People don't want to buy out of date goods—the idle capital thus tied up represents a big expense and a real loss. He can't get volume that way and volume is more important than unit profits. The small cost of his advertising is a trifling item compared to the big i cost of idle capital. This probably ex- I plains why it is usually easier and ! more economical lo buy from the mer- ; chant who advertises regularly, who ] keeps his stock moving, who sells you this year's merchandise this year and ! next year's merchandise next year. I This explains why the cost of advei - ! Using is not added to the price of the I merchandise. For advertising is an ! agency of moving merchandise eco- i nomically and efficiently. It is indes- pensible in modern merchandising. Well, the Maid and Matron Spring Frolic of 1937 is a thing of the past, but like a certain ghost in ancient times, It will not down. And was it a frolic? It was, and that is the reason it will linger in the mind as an enjoyable -event in the annals of North Canton for years to come. Four hundred women and girls invaded the Community Building on Monday night, and from Mrs. Salinda Willaman, aged 87, and Mrs. Mathilda Malm, aged 85 years, to Margaret Mellon, aged three years, all declared they had a first-class time. It was undoubtedly the largest turnout of women ever seen in North Canton, and all who had a part in arranging the alfair deserve great credit.

With tbe release in New York by the American Telephone and Telegraph company of statistics indicating that the world is close to the pre- depression peak in the number of telephones, J. P. Boggins, district commercial manager for The Ohio Bell Telephone company, did some figuring of his own to show the part played by North Canton, Canton anil other towns in the general telephone recovery. On April 1, this year, there were 1293 phones in North Canton, an increase of GS since January 1. Our neighbor, Canton, has 19,727 phones, a gain of 1294 since the beginning of 1937. That town's peak was 22,333 in April, 1930, and the low mark was 14,149 in July, 1933, says Mr. Boggins. [Continued on back page] LITERARY CLUB trict on the fifth day of May.

The board of education is not asking for an unreasonable levy, but only enough to consistently maintain the present high level and economic program of the schools. The increase asked, one and three-tenth mills, means an additional SI.30 on a thousand dollars. Certainly the welfare of the young is worth that amount if they are to he given equal opportunity with school pupils elsewhere. To deny the children of Plain township educational advantages has not been the policy of the people in past years, so The Sun is under the impression that the levy will not be voted down on May 27.

The loyal women attached to the
American Legion Auxiliary in North
Canton and-towns served by The Sun
are preparing for Poppy day, which

Following the custom of former
years, the little flower, recalling
Flanders Fields and the brave fellows
who sleep the eternal sleep there, will

Told Without
Varnish by Ben Long
They Call It "Sport"
IF WHAT a sports writer says in
his column is true, and I see no
reason to doubt his word as he is
a reliable man, the average American is not at all a lover of real sport,
but is rather an unthinking, morbid,
excitment addict whose taste is just
about as low as it can get.
During a wrestling match a few
nights ago the grapplers tried to poke
out eyes, kicked each other in the
stomach, and indulged in rough and
tumble stuff that would not be tolerated even in a lumber camp. "Tho
audience roared its pleasure, and the
chief shouters were many women and
.young girls," says the sports writer.
Evidently,they have no rules at so-
called wrestling matches these days—
or is it nights ?—Just go to it because
unthinking crowds are stupid enough
to flock and pay their money to see
bar-room brawls under the guise of
"wrestling."
But what must we think when we
read that "the chief glee shouters
were young women and girls." A man
likes to believe that his wife, his
sister and his mother are "womenly
women." It may be, however, that
the male patrons of "rasseling"
matches prefer cheap fist-fights and
brawls to a little skill and artistry.
Naturally they don't want their dames
to be too tender-hearted when a guy
is kicking a bloke's head through the
ropes.
1 o—:
Facing the World
A FEW more weeks and high schools,
colleges and universities will be
handing out diplomas and saying
"Good Luck" to the graduates. It is
well to remember that in the eyes of
these boys _ and girls who are just
now preparing to claim the world as
their rightful possession men and
women 50 years of age are old-fashioned and out of time with modern
ideas. They believe do these graduates that the graceful thing for a man
of 50 to do is. to 'retire and let the
younger generation take the helm and
steer the ship. In time, however, they
will learn that the greatest teacher of
all is called Experience, and that to
attempt to crowd him off his chair is
not a wise thing to do.
They will learn, too, that a cheerful
disposition is a wonderful help in
holding a position; that there are
gleams of sunshine even in the toughest job, and that a smile harnessed
to pluck puts a young man or woman,
in line for promotion, and that the
way to achieve anything is to do a
little hard work without whining.

Popular As Ever
DURING March, April and May The
Sun job office printed programs
for a number of high schools in
Stark and Summit counties and except
in two instances the theatrical vehicle
chosen was the work of Sir Arthur
Sullivan, born on English soil of Irish
parents. "The Mikado," "Patience,"
"Pinafore," "Pirates of Penzance,"
and a score of other fine operas from ;
his gifted pen are as popular today j
as they were when Francis Wilson, j
De Wolf Hopper and other great stars
of the stage amused our grandfathers !
and grandmothers in the Victorian
age. Sullivan set lo music Adelaide
Ann Proctor's "The Lost Chord" and
Baring Gould's "Onward, Christian
Soldiers."
Ireland has produced many great
musicians and song writers. Gilmore
and Herbert were Irish, and Gilmore's
band was heard around the world.
Victor Herbert's enchanting pieces
are extremely popular on the radio
today.
To me Irish songs—sweet and clean
as a baby's kiss—will never die. "Bells
of Shannon," "The Harp That Once
Through Tara's Halls," "Killarney,"
"Londonderry Air," "Where the River
Shannon Flows," "Come Back To
Erin," "Kathleen Mavourneen," "The
Last Rose of Summer," and dozen
others are sweet music to the ear because they carry a human appeal,
something many of the present day
song writers know little or nothing
about.

Being near Greensburg this week I
visited the high school presided over
by Allen H. Kuder, a genial gentleman and a first-class school man. He
is proud of his staff, and the teachers
are proud of their superintendent.
While there I learned that many of
the graduates are employed by The
Hoover company in North Canton.
That the annual junior and senior
banquet will be held on Saturday, May
29, in Spindler's Inn, Cuyahoga Falls,
beginning at 7:30, and that it will be
strictly. nautical. Presidents of each
class will be captains. While the orchestra plays the deck hands will
dance ami make merry.
That G. H. Reavis, Ohio high school i
supervisor, sent a letter to S. A.
Bowers, president of Green township
board of education, in which he said
the Greensburg high school "is continued on the approved list as a high
school of the first grade." Mr. Reavis,
however, recommended _ that more
money be spent for additional equipment in certain departments.
Some Clever Athletes
That Vern Vinters may become a
second Bob Feller. He is a freshman
but he gets the ball over the plate in
grand style. Fanned 14 batters in
seven innings.
That Tom Butowicz is one of the
best all-round athletes in high school
life in Ohio. Others, too, have more
than a local reputation in the athletic
world.

BEAUTY AND CLEVER
Thirteenth Volume of No-Ca-Hi
Is a Work of Art and There Is
Not a Dull Line In Its Pages.
It Tells of the Activities of the
Pupils In All Branches of Education In North Canton.
A CREDIT TO EVERYONE
!
KARL GOOSEMAN
Once again the reading public must
hand the applause to the bright young
men and women belonging to the
class of 1937 for the thirteenth volume of the No-Ca-Hi, although the
graduates will frankly tell you that
certain teachers worked with them to
produce a' beautiful volume, cleverly
written. If there is a, dull line in the
No-Ca-Hi this writer for The Sun
has failed to detect it.
Everyone connected with the North
Canton high school, from Superintendent T. G. Denton down, takes a keen
interest and much pride in the year's
history of the school known as No-Ca-
Hi, and well they may, for it reflects
great credit on members of the staff.
Members of the Staff
The books were distributed on Friday. The members of the staff who
did the work on the annual are: Editor, William Golloway; assistant editor, Merriam Myers; business manager, Robert Beck; assistant business
managers, Orville Miller and Elma
Climes; literary editor, Angeline
Crawford; art editor,,Louise Winger;
I feature editor, Mae June Pollock;
| athletic editor, Paul Surbey; Junior
I representative, Mary Margaret Glass;
Sophomore representative, Paul Harrison; Freshman representative, Inez
George; eighth grade representative,
Thomas Schick; seventh grade representative, Virginia Lesh.
Miss Ilea ger, the senior class sponsor, was advisor to the editing part
of the work and Mr. Swogger to the
business managers'and both did excellent work.
Why It Is Unique
The annual this year is unique in
that it has a different presentation of I
pictures than had been done in pre- i On the fourth page of Tho Sun to-
vious annuals. The art theme is i day is a legal notice concerning the j

Go
Safety authorities of the Travelers Insurance Company, in studying the accident records, have put
drivers who are prone to accident
in three classes: First, the mentally incompetent driver; second,
the physically incompetent driver;
third, the driver who has both the
brains and the physique to drive
carefully, but who is too unsocial
and stubborn to use these gifts.
Of the three, the last-named
type is the most deadly.

\ the Brotherhood meeting on Monday
; evening at 7:00 o'clock in the parlor
: of Zion Lutheran church on West
Maple street. Mr. and Mrs. A. A.
' Swope will sing.
| Mr. Gooseman, before he entered
j welfare work, was a newspaper
! writer, and he was considered one of
J the top-notchers in the profession. He
I started as a reporter, became city edi-
j tor, and then wound up with the As-
I sociated Press as its star man in Pitts-
| burgh and western Pennsylvania. It
j is a well known fact that when he
j resigned from journalism to enter wel-
| fare work he cast aside several thousands of dollars annually.
Mr. Gooseman is decidely popular
in North Canton and counts nearly
everyone in the town his friend. When
it is publicly announced that he is
going to speak he is assured a numerous audience.
YEARS AGO the old-time merchant
bought his season's supply of merchandise at one time. He filled his
shelves and storeroom to capacity and
then wailed for the people to come
and get it. He didn't advertise because
he figured, "everybody knows me anyway." He didn't consider _turn-over,
he didn't offer bargain specials.
We are not endeavoring to belittle
his methods. He was usually a good,
careful business man. He contributed
notably to the community he served.
He enjoyed the confidence of the
public.
Bui his methods today are outmoded. The business world has
changed, and we believe in many ways
the change is all in the public interest.
Today's live-wire merchant doesn't
stock a whole season's supply at one
time. He wants to keep his capital
moving rapidly. He understands the
importance of turn-over. He expects
smaller profits but more of them.
As a result he advertises his new
merchandise, so that the people may

know what he has to offer. If he
finds that Jie i.s over-stocked in sonic
items, he reduces the price, offers the
buying public real values in his advertising and turns to something new.
He knows it doesn't pay to carry
merchandise over from year to year.
People don't want to buy out of date
goods—the idle capital thus tied up
represents a big expense and a real
loss. He can't get volume that way
and volume is more important than
unit profits.
The small cost of his advertising is
a trifling item compared to the big
i cost of idle capital. This probably ex-
I plains why it is usually easier and
! more economical lo buy from the mer-
; chant who advertises regularly, who
] keeps his stock moving, who sells you
this year's merchandise this year and
! next year's merchandise next year.
I This explains why the cost of advei -
! Using is not added to the price of the
I merchandise. For advertising is an
! agency of moving merchandise eco-
i nomically and efficiently. It is indes-
pensible in modern merchandising.
Well, the Maid and Matron Spring
Frolic of 1937 is a thing of the past,
but like a certain ghost in ancient
times, It will not down. And was it
a frolic? It was, and that is the reason it will linger in the mind as an
enjoyable -event in the annals of
North Canton for years to come.
Four hundred women and girls invaded the Community Building on
Monday night, and from Mrs. Salinda
Willaman, aged 87, and Mrs. Mathilda Malm, aged 85 years, to Margaret Mellon, aged three years, all
declared they had a first-class time.
It was undoubtedly the largest
turnout of women ever seen in North
Canton, and all who had a part in
arranging the alfair deserve great
credit.

ology, lead by Mrs. Lowther. Prayer,
