Thursday afternoon the business men and their families will go to beautiful Hoover camp and make whoopee, enjoy a first-class meal, listen to good music by the North Canton Band, see a moving picture and award 20 articles of value to that number of persons at their picnic. Entitled To a "Rest Business has been good in North Canton during the p'ast year, and when business is going up instead of down the business men are kept busy. Knowing this, no one will begrudge the B. M. -an afternoon- and night off to pitch horse shoes, play softball, sing a few of the old-time songs, perhaps a few of the new ones, and best of all get out with their families for a real honest-to-goodness slam-bang hot old time. When you enter places of business this afternoon or tomorrow morning and you hear the men behind the counter humming "In the Good Old Summer Time" you'll know that their thoughts are on the picnic and that they are all primed and rarin' to go. First-CIass Meal One very important item the B. M. are deeply interested in is the meal. They know quality food do these men and their families, and their supper will be of the de luxe variety. Price, 40 cents per plate, and well worth double the amount. Children under 13 years of age, 15 cents per plate. Tickets are on sale by the merchants or they may be obtained on the Hoover camp grounds. Royal good fellows with their families enjoying real fellowship as only men of their kind know how to enjoy ■it. Now, go to it! Told Without Varnish ky Ben Long Commodore Perry's Cave A BEDTIME STORY SO DADDY is going to take you for a sail on Lake Erie and you want . me to tell you about the Perry cave ? When you visit Put-In-Bay you will leam there are several caves, but Daddy and Mother will take you to the Perry cave because it is the proper caper to do so. If you are sure-footed as a Swiss mountain goat you follow the guide to a cold, dark, very damp spot under a ledge. "This is known as Perry's bedroom. They say he occupied it before the great naval battle on the lake," is what the guide will tell you. He is a pleasant young fellow; high school graduate, 1937, accepting tips from visitors because he is going to work his way through college after he collects enough cash to pay his entrance fee. * * * EXPERTS HIT CANCER Dr. A." E. Williams, Head of the U. S. Veterans' Hospital, Chicago, Asserts That Radium and X-ray Treatments Are the Only Known Means of Combating Dreaded Disease. IS SECOND IN FATALITIES THE words of the guide ring in your ears hours later when in your bed you think of the gallant Commodore lying on the cold, wet, mud- covered stones, all alone, while out in the lake, two miles away, his ship, containing a warm cabin, lies at anchor. The thought depresses you. Why, you ask yourself, did he leave his comfortable quarters to sleep under a ledge in a wet, dismal cave? One of the bravest men In history, on land or sea, doing the Robert Bruce of Scotland stunt in a cave and not even a spider's web in sight to mislead and send elsewhere had they searched for him, the grim, throat- slitting, blood-thirsty fellows belonging to the cruel British monarch's naval forces. You feel dejected. You think of that cave-bedroom and you shudder! You know he had no bureau, no wash bowl, no mirror, no hot water, "no nothing" at hand when he "roose" from that cold floor to begin his long hike to the lake. Nothing but the seeds of rheumatism in his weary body, although in his heart the hot fire of patriotism burned. That fire even the chilly cave could not douse! *P *J* V YOU ask, why did he select the cave for his night's doss instead of the berth on his own ship? No doubt thousands of intelligent men and women and even morons have pondered the question without arriving at a solution. To me the explanation is easy. Commodore Perry had a heart, and when he wasn't busy knocking the tar out of the tars England sent over here his thoughts naturally turned to doing something for high school graduates and taxi-cab drivers working their way through traffic and college; owners of restaurants, bingo attendants, and keepers of stalls where may be found souvenirs for sale at double the price they ask in Cleveland. Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry knew, too, that his brother, Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry, would open up Japan in the '50's to American commerce and that the majority of the souvenirs sold in Put-in-Bay would be made in Japan. By manufacturing the knick-knacks in that country it cuts the hours of labor in American toy plants down so deep RAY SWOPE'S LADS IN FOOTBALL PRACTICE Coach of N.C.

It is surpassed only by more on land than in the water, heart disease as the cause of the most Perry thought of the saying attributed to the great showman, so he decided to act, and act promptly! On the eve of one of the greatest battles of all time he went ashore, found a cave and deposited therein his money, jewels and valuable papers. There were no taxi cabs in those days and Raymond A. Swope when a child was more or less renowned for his silence and as he grew older he kept saying less and less until his many friends began to believe he would lose the power of speech altogether. But his sunny smile he retained in school and in college, and a few years ago when he was asked to become football coach of North Canton high school he carried,the smile with him, and he has it today. Smile Is An Institution That smile is an institution, the constitution, or any other old or new 'stusion you may call it, but it gets Ray places a frown would block and the huskies on th.e football team love j that smile and are willing to work themselves into a lather at his nod. He's Like Silent Cal Interviewing the genial Ray is the hardest assignment The Sun meets in the course of a year. For instance: "What is the team going to do this year, Ray?" asked The Sun writer. Ray: "Well, I believe we are going to have a good team. The lads are willing and they are eager to make themselves into football players opposition teams will respect. That is in their favor. But keep in mind the big fact that North Canton has not a wide range to select from as do some schools in our association, nevertheless we are going ahead with the sole idea that we are going somewhere this Fal.l, and with that spirit uppermost in our minds we won't fail." Long Speech For Ray That was the longest speech Ray has made since—no one knows the exact date, and perhaps it is a good omen. Let's hope so anyway, for a more conscientious, capable and gentlemanly high school coach never crossed a football field than Raymond A. Swope. Everybody in this town is pulling for him and his team and that is worth a lot to players when they go into action. Started Practice On Friday The football team started their practice on Friday, Aug. -20, which time is permissible under the new rules for those schools who did not have Spring football practice.

For one thing, the Neutrality Act was not drafted primarily with an eye on the Orient but with the pin- pose of keeping the United States from involvement in another war in Europe. The explanation of the Administration that "A state of war does not exist because China and Japan have not broken off diplomatic relations" may enable the United States to avoid unpredictable complications, for the chances are that SCHOOL DAYS BEGIN HEREfflONMY.SEP.13 ■!

NEEDLEWORK AND QUILTS WIN 8 OUT OF 10 deaths. It has been found that radium and X-ray treatments seemingly are the only means of combating this disease with any degree of success. No absolute cure has yet been found, nor has anyone discovered the exact cause. According to numerous tests and research in this field of activity it has been found that certain kinds of cancer is hereditary. Human cancer, however, cannot be transmitted. Explains Radium Dr. Williams explained to the club what radium really is, and its importance and use in the field of medicine. Most of the patients treated at the Veterans' hospital, of course, are ex-service men. However, a large number of other patients, including women and children, are taken care of each year at the hospital. After answering numerous questions on this subject the Rotarians thanked Dr. 'Williams for his timely and enlightening information.

The number of persons killed or injured in the United States in automobile accidents involving drivers whfl had been drinking, doubled between 1933 and 1936. Official state reports show that, the number of motor vehicle casualties from accidents in which drinking was a factor, increased from 22,943 in 1933 to 35,563 in 1934, an increase of more than one-half.

BIG PICNIC THURSDAY BUSINESS MEN HAPPY With Members of Their Families Thev Will Make Whoopee In Good Old-Fashioned Way At Beautiful Hoover Camp, Dine On the Best of Food and Listen To North Canton Band. WILL DISTRIBUTE 20 GIFTS Purchase this Wednesday afternoon or tomorrow morning the article or articles you need because the stores in North Canton will close after the noon hour and remain closed until the usual opening hour on Friday morning. Thursday afternoon the business men and their families will go to beautiful Hoover camp and make whoopee, enjoy a first-class meal, listen to good music by the North Canton Band, see a moving picture and award 20 articles of value to that number of persons at their picnic. Entitled To a "Rest Business has been good in North Canton during the p'ast year, and when business is going up instead of down the business men are kept busy. Knowing this, no one will begrudge the B. M. -an afternoon- and night off to pitch horse shoes, play softball, sing a few of the old-time songs, perhaps a few of the new ones, and best of all get out with their families for a real honest-to-goodness slam-bang hot old time. When you enter places of business this afternoon or tomorrow morning and you hear the men behind the counter humming "In the Good Old Summer Time" you'll know that their thoughts are on the picnic and that they are all primed and rarin' to go. First-CIass Meal One very important item the B. M. are deeply interested in is the meal. They know quality food do these men and their families, and their supper will be of the de luxe variety. Price, 40 cents per plate, and well worth double the amount. Children under 13 years of age, 15 cents per plate. Tickets are on sale by the merchants or they may be obtained on the Hoover camp grounds. Royal good fellows with their families enjoying real fellowship as only men of their kind know how to enjoy ■it. Now, go to it! Told Without Varnish ky Ben Long Commodore Perry's Cave A BEDTIME STORY SO DADDY is going to take you for a sail on Lake Erie and you want . me to tell you about the Perry cave ? When you visit Put-In-Bay you will leam there are several caves, but Daddy and Mother will take you to the Perry cave because it is the proper caper to do so. If you are sure-footed as a Swiss mountain goat you follow the guide to a cold, dark, very damp spot under a ledge. "This is known as Perry's bedroom. They say he occupied it before the great naval battle on the lake," is what the guide will tell you. He is a pleasant young fellow; high school graduate, 1937, accepting tips from visitors because he is going to work his way through college after he collects enough cash to pay his entrance fee. * * * EXPERTS HIT CANCER Dr. A." E. Williams, Head of the U. S. Veterans' Hospital, Chicago, Asserts That Radium and X-ray Treatments Are the Only Known Means of Combating Dreaded Disease. IS SECOND IN FATALITIES THE words of the guide ring in your ears hours later when in your bed you think of the gallant Commodore lying on the cold, wet, mud- covered stones, all alone, while out in the lake, two miles away, his ship, containing a warm cabin, lies at anchor. The thought depresses you. Why, you ask yourself, did he leave his comfortable quarters to sleep under a ledge in a wet, dismal cave? One of the bravest men In history, on land or sea, doing the Robert Bruce of Scotland stunt in a cave and not even a spider's web in sight to mislead and send elsewhere had they searched for him, the grim, throat- slitting, blood-thirsty fellows belonging to the cruel British monarch's naval forces. You feel dejected. You think of that cave-bedroom and you shudder! You know he had no bureau, no wash bowl, no mirror, no hot water, "no nothing" at hand when he "roose" from that cold floor to begin his long hike to the lake. Nothing but the seeds of rheumatism in his weary body, although in his heart the hot fire of patriotism burned. That fire even the chilly cave could not douse! *P *J* V YOU ask, why did he select the cave for his night's doss instead of the berth on his own ship? No doubt thousands of intelligent men and women and even morons have pondered the question without arriving at a solution. To me the explanation is easy. Commodore Perry had a heart, and when he wasn't busy knocking the tar out of the tars England sent over here his thoughts naturally turned to doing something for high school graduates and taxi-cab drivers working their way through traffic and college; owners of restaurants, bingo attendants, and keepers of stalls where may be found souvenirs for sale at double the price they ask in Cleveland. Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry knew, too, that his brother, Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry, would open up Japan in the '50's to American commerce and that the majority of the souvenirs sold in Put-in-Bay would be made in Japan. By manufacturing the knick-knacks in that country it cuts the hours of labor in American toy plants down so deep RAY SWOPE'S LADS IN FOOTBALL PRACTICE Coach of N.C.

It is surpassed only by more on land than in the water, heart disease as the cause of the most Perry thought of the saying attributed to the great showman, so he decided to act, and act promptly! On the eve of one of the greatest battles of all time he went ashore, found a cave and deposited therein his money, jewels and valuable papers. There were no taxi cabs in those days and Raymond A. Swope when a child was more or less renowned for his silence and as he grew older he kept saying less and less until his many friends began to believe he would lose the power of speech altogether. But his sunny smile he retained in school and in college, and a few years ago when he was asked to become football coach of North Canton high school he carried,the smile with him, and he has it today. Smile Is An Institution That smile is an institution, the constitution, or any other old or new 'stusion you may call it, but it gets Ray places a frown would block and the huskies on th.e football team love j that smile and are willing to work themselves into a lather at his nod. He's Like Silent Cal Interviewing the genial Ray is the hardest assignment The Sun meets in the course of a year. For instance: "What is the team going to do this year, Ray?" asked The Sun writer. Ray: "Well, I believe we are going to have a good team. The lads are willing and they are eager to make themselves into football players opposition teams will respect. That is in their favor. But keep in mind the big fact that North Canton has not a wide range to select from as do some schools in our association, nevertheless we are going ahead with the sole idea that we are going somewhere this Fal.l, and with that spirit uppermost in our minds we won't fail." Long Speech For Ray That was the longest speech Ray has made since—no one knows the exact date, and perhaps it is a good omen. Let's hope so anyway, for a more conscientious, capable and gentlemanly high school coach never crossed a football field than Raymond A. Swope. Everybody in this town is pulling for him and his team and that is worth a lot to players when they go into action. Started Practice On Friday The football team started their practice on Friday, Aug. -20, which time is permissible under the new rules for those schools who did not have Spring football practice. The schedule for the year is as follows: Sept. 18, at Coventry township. Sept. 25, Navarre here. j Oct. 2, Canal Fulton here. Oct. 9, at Louisville. Oct. 15, at Jackson township.

For one thing, the Neutrality Act was not drafted primarily with an eye on the Orient but with the pin- pose of keeping the United States from involvement in another war in Europe. The explanation of the Administration that "A state of war does not exist because China and Japan have not broken off diplomatic relations" may enable the United States to avoid unpredictable complications, for the chances are that SCHOOL DAYS BEGIN HEREfflONMY.SEP.13 ■!

NEEDLEWORK AND QUILTS WIN 8 OUT OF 10 deaths. It has been found that radium and X-ray treatments seemingly are the only means of combating this disease with any degree of success. No absolute cure has yet been found, nor has anyone discovered the exact cause. According to numerous tests and research in this field of activity it has been found that certain kinds of cancer is hereditary. Human cancer, however, cannot be transmitted. Explains Radium Dr. Williams explained to the club what radium really is, and its importance and use in the field of medicine. Most of the patients treated at the Veterans' hospital, of course, are ex-service men. However, a large number of other patients, including women and children, are taken care of each year at the hospital. After answering numerous questions on this subject the Rotarians thanked Dr. 'Williams for his timely and enlightening information.

The number of persons killed or injured in the United States in automobile accidents involving drivers whfl had been drinking, doubled between 1933 and 1936. Official state reports show that, the number of motor vehicle casualties from accidents in which drinking was a factor, increased from 22,943 in 1933 to 35,563 in 1934, an increase of more than one-half.
