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!

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

was more or less renowned for his

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.

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.

For one thing, the Neutrality Act

from involvement in another war in

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

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. The National Safety
