ALL THE REAL NEWS AND SPECIAL FEATURES CAREFULLY EDITED READ BY BRIGHT PEOPLE IT SHINES FOR ALL THE PEOPLE IN NORTHERN STARK COUNTY READ BY BRIGHT PEOPLE An Independent Newspaper That Plays No Favorites Among Advertisers or Subscribers, and With One Price To All VOL. 16—NO. 25. NORTH CANTON, STARK COUNTY, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 1938—EIGHT PAGES $1.00 PER YEAR. SIGNATURES SECURED FOR MOSIER PETITION Men and Women Say It Gives (Them Pleasure To Sign For the Congressman-at-Large For a Second Term Because of His Ability, His Human Kindness, and His Moral Courage. THE PEOPLE'S CANDIDATE A week ago a petition was received jin North Canton from Harold G. Mosier of Cleveland, Congressman-al- Large from Ohio, the object being to secure signatures so that he can run at the primaries in August for a second term. Within 24 hours 78 men and women had affixed their names and addresses to the petition and it was on its way to Congressman Mosier. Seventy-eight names occupied all the space allowed by law. Well Deserved Tribute It was a well-deserved tribute to a faithful, intelligent and upright public servant whose vigorous mind and compelling personality has stirred the dry bones in the field of national politics and secured for Ohio a place of eminence in Washington. A Few Comments Heard Below will be found a few of the comments by people as they signed the petition: "I don't know him personally, but as Lieutenant Governor of Ohio he was the people's friend. As a Congressman he is a good one." "He plays a substantial part in Washington. He is a credit to Ohio." "He qualifies with me." By a woman: "No one can deny his ability, his honesty and his sincerity. His outstanding loyalty to Ohio won me some time ago." Also by a woman: "I like him because he realizes he has a duty to perform, and he is not afraid to do it." By a farmer: "He may be strong- willed, but when I visited Washington I found him kindly, generous and just. He is deeply interested in our problems, and that is one reason I am going to vote for him." By a merchant: "Congressman Mosier has a keen mind and a lot of hard common sense." By a mechanic: "I like him. He plays square with all of us. There is nothing rash or impulsive about him." The Sun Knows Him If every voter in Ohio could know Harold G. Mosier for what he is—a lovable, loyal, experienced statesman, there could be no doubt of his triumphant election in November. It is a fortunate thing for the people of this state that he decided lo seek a ro- nomination in August. As The Sun stated last week, and repeats today, "the great state of Ohio needs a man of his mental equipment and integrity to represent it in the halls of Congress." THOM GETS $34,592 FOR UNEMPLOYED IN CANTON. Special to The Sun Washington, D. C, April 20—Congressman William R. Thom announced today the approval by the President of a WPA project to provide employment for needy professional, educational and clerical persons, for the purpose of modernizing, improving and enlarging the records for the Cannon city engineer's office. $34,592 is the amount allocated by the federal government for the work which will include the preparation of a record of existing sidewalk conditions, preparing plats to show true street and building' lines and the encroachments thereon, of city owned property, its size and use, and topographic maps of the Canton sewage disposal plant grounds. The project has been sponsored by the city of Canton. Told Without Vami'sh *» Ben Long I am convinced that only by such a medium as. this column can certain types of news and opinions be set forth. Learn To Think About this time each year the desk in the cubby hole I occupy in The Sun office receives my personal attention due to the fact that it is covered with old newspapers, postal cards and letters. I must have at least room to push a pencil, so I get busy. It is a herculean task, but following my rule of finishing a job after I begin it "I stay with it" until I accomplish my purpose. While thus engaged I found a cartoon which seemed pertinent and worth while. The old year (1937) was SPORTS ARE BOOMING IN ALL DEPARTMENTS Baseball, Tennis, Horseshoes, Hiking, Swimming and Track Are the Things Men and Boys Are Thinking About In North Canton and Other Towns Served By The Sun. VOLLEYBALL IS POPULAR With Lent in the past tense and pleasant weather in the present, men and boys in North Canton and its vicinage are preparing for outdoor sports, although there will always be found a number of young and middle- aged men enjoving the sports in the Community Building. It is a habit they contracted years ago, and as it is a very good habit, they are not likely to break it.

That was all I had to do they did the rest." The above sentence within quotation marks contains a good deal of philosophy, and a good deal of truth. We are apt to blame circumstances and conditions and to forget all about our personal responsibility, and our individual power, to shape circumstances and conditions, rather than allow them to shape us. As I said before in this column, this sinking of ourselves in the mass, instead of developing and asserting our powers as individuals, is one of the great faults and the great dangers of our present-day life. We are afraid, perhaps, of being considered as setting ourselves up to be better than others; we are afraid of "what people say." Or we genuinely do not believe that we have anything in us which would enable us to stand out from the rest of the human family. We have largely discontinued the practice of thinking for ourselves and forming our own opinion because we are continuously bombarded with the opinions of others through books, newspapers and the radio. Everything today tends to mold us into one pattern; it is extremely difficult to maintain and assert our individuality. We should straggle against this tendency, endeavor to think for ourselves, take our own line and stick to it. Church Baseball League The Church Baseball league will start the last week in April. Some of the players are now practicing at the football field diamond. The schedule will be. in the next issue of The Sun. Officials hope "to have three churches represented: St. Paul's, Reformed, and Christians, both boys' and senior teams. A shield will go to the winning team in each division. Volleyball Classes Starting this week, the young men's gym class will play volleyball on Monday and Thursday evenings at 7:30. All will have opportunity to learn the game, especially the spiking style of attack. Volleyball is becoming a major game and North Canton should make a good showing. Any man who is interested may go to the Community Building for a tryout. To Attend Physical Congress North Canton will be represented at the International Y. M. C. A. championship and physical education congress at Detroit, April 27 to May 1. The finals of all sports of 2000 ath-. letes and the climax of the congress will be the big pageant of 500 performers, the golden statuettes from Springfield college, Mass., and the (magic ray) games in dark, a novelty athletic number playing basketball, badminton with squash racquets. Only the hands and feet, the goals and the ball are visible by the new "magic ray."

WALTERS, LAST NAME As The Sun Sees It Without Prejudice Handed Roosevelt the Same Dose They Gave To Coolidge and Hoover. THE SUN received a letter a few: men developed sore throats shouting days ago from a well known and "gainst the measure, and that small highly respected resident of Can-1 f?'y,„p(°1l,t,,',lans wept salty tears every ..,.,, ... . , time the Reorganization bill was men- ton in which he said he was genuinely tioned in public sorry to see Prasident Roosevelt act- v„<. <ri,„ o„ ' v„ ,\ i. -, ,, ing the part of a tyrant in trying toLJ"8' ™* S»n ,kn°ws, haf 1"udy.

Congress, and g^^g^l ,^'S a bill, but the "nailed to their jobs gents" had too much influence with Senators and Congressmen, and so the bill was killed. President Hoover, to his credit be it said, fought hard to secure the passage of such a measure. As a matter of fact the bill President Roosevelt favored embodied principles favored by President Hoover, and only an insane man would say that Herbert Hoover wanted to be a dictator when he was in the White House. The truth is the provisions of the bill have the unanimous approval of organizations devoted to the cause of better administration in government, but as its passage would mean the discharge of hundreds of incompetent employes holding jobs because of "political pull" the Reorganization bill never will become a law until Congress recognizes that public office is not a private snap. that "the House of Representatives has earned the grateful thanks and high respect of the American people by voting to recommit the bill, thus killing it. For President Roosevelt it is, of course, a major defeat. But it is a defeat which he deserved to suffer." Our Canton friend writes more along the same line, and toward the end of his letter wonders "why The Sun did not enter the battle against the bill. Certainly a newspaper edited by persons of your political knowledge know that the Reorganization bill is un-American and means that the man in the White House wants to be a dictator." The Sun doesn't know any such thing, concerning the bill or the President. The Sun does know, however, that tons of good white paper carried editorials in daily publications thundering against the bill; that states- SYMPHONY CONCERT IN CANTON TONIGHT Jackson Club Meeting The Jackson club of Stark county will meet in Moose hall, 207 Second street NE., Canton, this Wednesday evening at 7:30. 045 WOJMPpSENT At State Federation Convention, Reports Mrs. Paul Hahn. Mrs. Paul Hahn, president of the Woman's club of North Canton, gave a comprehensive report of the state federation convention which she attended as a delegate on Monday evening in the meeting in the Community Building. One of the high lights was the fact that 545 women from all parts of the state were in attendance. Original Poems Read Mrs. Beth Shorb read some original poems and also told the story of Gypsy life which.was illustrated in song by the Misses Evelyn Chenot, Genevieve Richards and Beulah Tritt, accompanied by Mrs. Clark Wehl at the piano; Miss Josephine Bi'ing, trombone; Miss Thelma Earl, violin. All who took part were in costume and the program was much enjoyed. New State Officers The new state officers are Mrs. C. N. Newcomer of Bryan, president; Mrs. C. J. Goldthorte of Youngstown is northeast district president. The next state meeting will be in Cincinnati and this district's meeting will be held some time in October in Warren with Niles as co-hostess. Board Meeting, Thursday There will be a board meeting of the Woman's club in the Community Building on Thursday, April 21, at 2:00 o'clock. It is a great experience to travel the whole length of this country observing the immense succession of local communities, mostly small, each with its aspirations, its zealousies and jealousies, its feuds and its excitements. To me a man ashamed of the town in which he resides is at best a poor stick, but there are a number of such, especially in the East, who think they impress people when they say they are from New York city, when as a matter of fact they live in Weehawk- en, Matawan, Hoboken, or some other town in New Jersey. All good towns, by the way, where the residents enjoy life on a scale the denizens of Manhattan know nothing about. several softball teams will be in the field when May appears on the calendar. CAPT. SLOAN'S HOBBY Surrounds Himself With Bright Fellows—Making Movies. He Is a Famous Coach and They Know Him In This Town. There was a time when Arnold Post and other genial gentlemen interested in volleyball in North Canton remained awake at night figuring out a plan to wallop "Doc" Walters and his intrepid volleyballers belonging to the Akron Y. . But that was in the long ago, Maggie, when Marshall Walters, better known as "Doc," was leading a bunch of untamed Indians into every bailiwick in Ohio <and leaving with scalps of palefaces dangling from their belts. Then "Doc" left Akron and entered the physical department of tlie Y. M. C. A. in Scranton, Pa. The North Cantonians admire "Doc," and they are pleased over his success, but they prefer that he roam with his huskies over the reservations in Governor Earle's domain. Walters likes North Canton, and he calls the players in the Community Building "thorough gentlemen and sportsmen, whether in volleyball, basketball, bowling or any other kind of game." [Continued on page four] First One In February Proved a Brilliant Triumph. As announced in The Sun last week, the second and last concert of the Canton Symphony Orchestra of the season will be given in the Canton City auditorium tonight (Wednesday) at 8:15 o'clock. The work it did at its first concert on February IG was such a success that before the morning of February 17 dawned the cry was heard "Let us have more!" The audience was enthusiastic, and that audience was the cream of Stark county's concert-going public. Model of Fine Taste The concert on February 16 was a model of dignity, expertness, and fine taste, and so it is safe to say that the orchestra will be on its mettle tonight and will play admirably. Observe, Enjoy and Wonder None should be happier about the Canton Symphony Orchestra than the music-lovers of North Canton and ils vicinage, who enjoy the opportunity in the course of a season to observe ! and enjoy and wonder over a coneert- ; giving enterprise whieh appears to [ function with unlasping cffccUvenc.su. 1 The program tonight will be filled They Know How Particular people praise printing when it is done in The Sun office. Sun printers know how to print. That is one thing I admire about the West. They are proud of the town they call home. Years ago I visited friends residing on a farm near Braman, Oklahoma. Learning that I was a newspaper man, the Mayor and several of the leading citizens of that 125 population hamlet invited me to-edit their little paper for a week. The town had no lights, no sidewalks, no conveniences, as we know them, of any kind. Not even a street (they hail three) had a name. More in a spirit of fun than malice, I named the main street Broadway. The paper was enlarged from five small columns, four pages, to seven full length columns, eight pages, and it carried pictures of the Mayor and other citizens. They supplied me with all sorts of news, and after I sorted it, rewrote it, and dressed it up with metropolitan headlines the forms were sent out of town to be printed. That edition made a "whale of a hit" and put Braman on the map in grand style. One thing I urged was that tlie men when they took hogs and cattle to Kansas City write the name Braman in large letters. The hotels in those days used registers, instead of cards, as today. Several years later I was editing a daily newspaper in Blackwell in the same county and I was interested in nominating a county Judge, a sheriff, and a county commissioner. To show their appreciation of my work on that one edition the Mayor and the entire neighborhood got'busy, and not only did we name all our favorites but for good measure they elected me chairman of the delegation to the county convention where I was made chairman of the resolutions committee. O, yes, we elected our nominees in November. That is the spirit you find in Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and other states in that part of the United States. And that spirit sends to Washington many of the ablest men in the Senate—Borah and Norris, for instance.

They found at the residence of Mr. Geltz a garage and chicken house almost consumed by flames. The fire had considerable headwaj before it was discovered and the alarm sent in. The efforts of the firemen kept the blaze from spreading. The building was a total loss and 200 young chickens were burned. Insurance covers the entire loss.

In the words of J R.E.TRACHSEL NAMED HEAD OF N.C. SCHOOLS Man From Canal Fulton Will Succeed Supt. T. G. Denton, Who Requested the Board of Education Not To Consider His Name For Reappointment After Serving 13 Years. TAKES CHARGE IN JULY At a meeting of the School Board of North Canton it was decided to ask the position of superintendent of the public schools of Canal Fulton, to take the position of supeintendent of the public schools of North Canton. Mr. Trachsel, although not a candidate for the place (The Sun has been informed) accepted, and he will take charge on July 1. Denton Not An Applicant Thomas G.

McFadden was superintendent fourteen years ago Mr. Denton came here as principal of the high school, a position he held for one year. He was then appointed superintendent after Mr. McFadden resigned, and has served in that capacity thirteen years. Before coming to North Canton Mr. Denton was principal of the Minerva high school. Member of lhe Legion When America entered the World War Mr. Denton joined the army and served 22 months, 15 of them in France as a "buck private."

He was graduated from M,t. Union college and Columbia university. Trachsel Is Married R. E. Trachsel, the newly appointed superintendent, was graduated from Kent State and received his master's degree from Ohio State. He is married and resides with his wife and four children (two boys and two girls) in Canal Fulton. He takes a keen interest in sports and when in college distinguished himself on the athletic field. Those who know him say he is a genial man and, like Mr. Denton, active in Rotary and other community organizations. RANBWJTHBEST N. C. High School Students Can Enter College Without Exams.

"NEW IN NORTH CANTON" "Informality is the keynote of an organization in the North Canton (Ohio) Cinema club, according to H. H. Sloan, first president and only elected officer. "Meeting in the homes of its members, the club plans for a small but enthusiastic group, in which each member will play an important part. This policy already is in effect with the operation of a program schedule which makes the host of the evening the program chairman as well and responsible for all the features of his particular meeting. "Following organization at the home of Mr. Sloan, members W. D. Trott and Ralph Spiker have carried on with gatherings devoted respectively to title making and filters."

FOR MOSIER PETITION
Men and Women Say It Gives
(Them Pleasure To Sign For
the Congressman-at-Large For
a Second Term Because of His
Ability, His Human Kindness,
and His Moral Courage.
THE PEOPLE'S CANDIDATE
A week ago a petition was received
jin North Canton from Harold G.
Mosier of Cleveland, Congressman-al-
Large from Ohio, the object being to
secure signatures so that he can run
at the primaries in August for a second term.
Within 24 hours 78 men and women
had affixed their names and addresses
to the petition and it was on its way
to Congressman Mosier. Seventy-eight
names occupied all the space allowed
by law.
Well Deserved Tribute
It was a well-deserved tribute to a
faithful, intelligent and upright public servant whose vigorous mind and
compelling personality has stirred the
dry bones in the field of national politics and secured for Ohio a place of
eminence in Washington.
A Few Comments Heard
Below will be found a few of the
comments by people as they signed the
petition:
"I don't know him personally, but
as Lieutenant Governor of Ohio he
was the people's friend. As a Congressman he is a good one."
"He plays a substantial part in
Washington. He is a credit to Ohio."
"He qualifies with me."
By a woman: "No one can deny his
ability, his honesty and his sincerity.
His outstanding loyalty to Ohio won
me some time ago."
Also by a woman: "I like him because he realizes he has a duty to
perform, and he is not afraid to do
it."
By a farmer: "He may be strong-
willed, but when I visited Washington
I found him kindly, generous and just.
He is deeply interested in our problems, and that is one reason I am going to vote for him."
By a merchant: "Congressman
Mosier has a keen mind and a lot of
hard common sense."
By a mechanic: "I like him. He
plays square with all of us. There is
nothing rash or impulsive about him."
The Sun Knows Him
If every voter in Ohio could know
Harold G. Mosier for what he is—a
lovable, loyal, experienced statesman,
there could be no doubt of his triumphant election in November. It is a
fortunate thing for the people of this
state that he decided lo seek a ro-
nomination in August. As The Sun
stated last week, and repeats today,
"the great state of Ohio needs a man
of his mental equipment and integrity to represent it in the halls of
Congress."

types of news and opinions be set

Learn To Think
About this
time each year
the desk in the
cubby hole I occupy in The Sun
office receives
my personal attention due to
the fact that it
is covered with
old newspapers,
postal cards and
letters. I must
have at least
room to push a
pencil, so I get
busy. It is a herculean task, but following my rule of finishing a job
after I begin it "I stay with it" until
I accomplish my purpose.
While thus engaged I found a cartoon which seemed pertinent and
worth while. The old year (1937) was

VOLLEYBALL IS POPULAR
With Lent in the past tense and
pleasant weather in the present, men
and boys in North Canton and its vicinage are preparing for outdoor
sports, although there will always be
found a number of young and middle-
aged men enjoving the sports in the
Community Building. It is a habit
they contracted years ago, and as it
is a very good habit, they are not
likely to break it.

winter. That was all I had to do
they did the rest."
The above sentence within quotation marks contains a good deal of
philosophy, and a good deal of truth.
We are apt to blame circumstances
and conditions and to forget all about
our personal responsibility, and our
individual power, to shape circumstances and conditions, rather than allow them to shape us.
As I said before in this column,
this sinking of ourselves in the mass,
instead of developing and asserting
our powers as individuals, is one of
the great faults and the great dangers
of our present-day life. We are
afraid, perhaps, of being considered as
setting ourselves up to be better than
others; we are afraid of "what people say."
Or we genuinely do not believe
that we have anything in us which
would enable us to stand out from
the rest of the human family.
We have largely discontinued the
practice of thinking for ourselves and
forming our own opinion because we
are continuously bombarded with the
opinions of others through books,
newspapers and the radio. Everything today tends to mold us into one
pattern; it is extremely difficult to
maintain and assert our individuality.
We should straggle against this tendency, endeavor to think for ourselves,
take our own line and stick to it.
Church Baseball League
The Church Baseball league will
start the last week in April. Some
of the players are now practicing at
the football field diamond. The schedule will be. in the next issue of The
Sun. Officials hope "to have three
churches represented: St. Paul's, Reformed, and Christians, both boys' and
senior teams. A shield will go to the
winning team in each division.
Volleyball Classes
Starting this week, the young men's
gym class will play volleyball on Monday and Thursday evenings at 7:30.
All will have opportunity to learn the
game, especially the spiking style of
attack. Volleyball is becoming a major game and North Canton should
make a good showing. Any man who
is interested may go to the Community Building for a tryout.
To Attend Physical Congress
North Canton will be represented at
the International Y. M. C. A. championship and physical education congress at Detroit, April 27 to May 1.
The finals of all sports of 2000 ath-.
letes and the climax of the congress
will be the big pageant of 500 performers, the golden statuettes from
Springfield college, Mass., and the
(magic ray) games in dark, a novelty
athletic number playing basketball,
badminton with squash racquets. Only
the hands and feet, the goals and the
ball are visible by the new "magic
ray."

Sloan Makes Good
If Captain Sloan makes movie pictures a "hobby" it is going to land
in the airplane class. He is a captain

he saw service in the air. He also belongs to the Rifle club. Anything Captain Sloan is interested in usually
