Eighteen members turned out and had a program of soft ball, songs, and ghost stories. Plans were made for a club camp trip this summer.

AND COUNSELLOR funds?" In the vernacular of the day, they would say "a mouthful." Yet the great American government is discharging men from its police force along with the statement that it is short of money. That is a silly excuse; in fact it is an insult to the average person's intelligence. The truth is that the G- Men, as they are known, under the direction of Chief Hoover, made life miserable for murderers, kidnappers and bank robbers, and within a few years proved to the world that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police; the English detectives known as Scotland Yard, and the detectives of Paris, France, are not the only clever detectives. Hoover and his men succeeded when the police in the cities acknowledged that they could not capture many of the most desperate outlaws and murderers. it* Now Hoover must do the same work with a- "skeleton crew." Something is radically wrong somewhere, perhaps pressure is being used, and it starts with the "dirty rats" in tha large cities and keeps climbing until it reaches the top brackets. "Politics" some people call it, and they have the correct name. Although not a betting man, I would be willing to wager ten cents against five cents that the "pressure" used against the G-Men would be removed in less than a month if publishers of large daily newspapers would permit a few star reporters to do a thorough job of investigating the wherefores and whys" for the en Frank!

It was the 28th annual- national conference and the delegates showed their apperciation of the splendid work the North Canton man is doing for boys by applauding vigoriously when he stood to receive the highest of all Boy Scout awards for outstanding service—the silver buffalo award. Just to show him they" appreciated his advice and service he was elected a national'vice-president. The Citation The miniature silver buffalo is suspended on a red, white and blue ribbon, and a leather-bound certificate contains the following citation: "Frank G.

XXX A number of years ago I spent a few days in Detroit. The members of the "Purple Gang" were active at that time. Holdups and murders were frequent, and the services of the gangsters were bought by certain men in other cities. Every good reporter in Detroit To Fabulous Proportions. This is airmail week and North Canton and Canton under the leadership of Louis J. Elsaesser, postmaster of Canton, and men in the office here hayey been giving the anniversary quite a boost. The same goes for the postmasters of Massillon, Alliance, and the other towns and villages in Stark county. A couplejaf weeks ago Superintend- knew the "rats" by sight, and so did ent R. U.

The Big Shot gangster had wires running in many directions and when one of his "rats" got in a jam in Michigan or other states he pulled the wires and his gangster was released or given a light sentence in jail. XXX Across the river from Detroit is a Canadian city of 50,000 people. Windsor is the name of the town and it has an excellent evening newspaper, The Star. I sat in that office and had a friendly chat with one of the editors. He told me that the police blotter contained but two arrests in six Rotary club something about the airmail service. And Clark did. Clark's Informal Talk Twenty years ajjo last Sunday the first airmail route in this country was opened between New York and Washington, via Philadelphia, Pa. Since then the United States airmail service has grown to almost fabulous proportions, and to commemorate that development the period from May 15 to May 21 has been designated as National Airmail Week. The United States airmail service, which is pre-eminent, is above politics, and it is to the men who built t6r ^f^Tthemen.hadbeen arrest": it and the men who fly it that the eTfor being druX ! tribute is being paid by the govern- Wo don't play politics with criminals in Windsor," he remarked grimly. "When an American gangster lands in this town we give him the works. If he goes north a Mountie picks him up.

Make Fast Time A letter by airmail leaves Akron at 6:43 p.m. and arrives in New York city at 8:58 p.m. Going south it leaves New York at 9:10 p.m. and arrives in Miami.

That night in Detroit two business men were shot by members of the Purple gang. it* When the G-Men were given permission to cross the United States in pursuit of criminals the Purple gangsters turned yellow, and they are still yellow. At the name of "G-Men" the most blatant braggart in gangland begins to shake for he well knows that his hours as a gangster are numbered. The G-Man can't be bribed, can't be intimidated, and, like the Royal Canadian Mounted, "he always gets his man." The daily newspapers are filled with the doings or "nothin'-doin'" of investigating committees. Let Congress start a real, honest-to-the-core investigation concerning the reason for reducing Hoover's force, and then watch the investigation end suddenly with the statement: "Hoover's force will not be reduced. The necessary money will be forthcoming to protect the American people against criminals." Reputations would tumble in a hurry if such an investigation took the center of the stage. Q Notes and Comment Japan intends to reach new low levels of cheapness with so-called news films she is making for American and British markets.

RILLS VEGETABLES Haitville Growers Suffer On Account of Frost. The Hartville correspondent of The Sun says: Hartville gardens suffered severly in the cold weather and frosts of tho past week. The swamp vegetable gardens were completely destroyed and many men laid off as the crops will have to be planted again and will not be ready to gather for market until the first part of June. A temperature of 24 was recorded in the swamp and the frost so severe that it froze not only radishes, lettuce and spinach but onions. Monday before the frost struck two truck loads of radishes were sent out to the Cleveland market. This marked a new early date, 1937 having an early erop record when two car loads were shipped out on Memorial day. The damage throughout the swamp runs to several thousands of dollars. Get Results People advertise in The Sun because they get results. Rain and cold evenings put a crimp in sports around this town the past week, but according to the weather man warm days and nights are in sight, and as a result lovers of the outdoors are preparing for a lively summer. The Hoover factory has a strong- team playing in the Industrial league; the horse shoe pitchers are ready, having had a little practice during the past few weeks; the Legion Juniors are waiting for school to close; the Church league has good baseball clubs; the golf enthusiasts, as usual, are "forcing the season," and Willis Wood has been giving the big swimming pool—one of the finest in Ohio— the once-over, and the Community Building expects to open it about the first of June. The tennis club will begin operations on'Saturday, if the weather permits. So all in all, the outlook for a strenuous sports season is anything but a dream. The Swimming Pool Committees are now working on a class schedule for the swimming pool. Methods, of teaching, with emphasis on showing beginners and novices the correct way to act while in the water. Elementary and fancy diving will be given a place on the program. School For Teachers A school for those desiring to teach will be sponsored this year among the members using Thomas Kirls Cureton's text book. A certificate will be presented to those passing the requirements at the end of the course. ON TEJlSlOURTS Opening Day Will Be Saturday If Weather Permits. Offering memberships at reduced rates this season, the North Canton Tennis club announces the opening of the three Hower street courts on this Saturday, May 21, weather permitting. All residents of North Canton are eligible for memberships at the following new low rates: Men, $4.00; women, $3.00; juniors (high school age and under) $1.50; and husband and wife, $5.00. Each membership is from $1.00 to $3.00 lower than last year—in order that more North Canton tennis fans and amateurs can take advantage of the splendid Hower street courts. In this respect, it is pointed out that, even with a large number of members this year, carefully planned schedules will eliminate "too crowded courts." Memberships may be secured at the Community Building or from the following officers of the club: W. Henry Hoover, chairman; J. H. Martin, treasurer and vice-chairman; A. E. Post, personnel manager; H. J. Dunham, publicity director; G. F. Weidman and G. B. Owens. A thrilling game for both young and old, tennis offers such advantages as exercise, recreation, and a chance to be out in the open and acquire a tan. It is inexpensive and easily learned. Officers of the club suggest that North Canton residents join the club immediately in order that no playing time will be lost. They also pass on the tip that memberships in the club would be welcome gifts for high school graduates. VACATION DAYS Public Library Has Literature Filled With Information. The week of May 15-21 has been designated as National Travel Week and the Nortli Canton Library has on display many volumes of travel in this country and abroad. There are pamphlets and foldeis giving facts and trails in vacation resorts in all parts of United States and Canada. More folders are coming in daily as travel bureaus send out their information. This material may be taken out for week periods and will be helpful in planning both week-end and vacation excursions. QilllMI As The Sun Sees It Without Prejudice (aJlllllllllMllllltllltlllMilltlltlllHHIIIIIIHIHI I flltlllllHIMHIHIIIIIMIIIMIItltllllllliHi Pennsylvania Democrats Are Conservative THE Democrats in Pennsylvania yesterday proved to John L. Lewis and his fawning political allies that they are tired of his policy of rule or ruin. His man Thomas Kennedy, seeking the gubernatorial nomination, was soundly defeated. As The Sun has said on several occasions, the American workingman is at heart a conservative and while he may stray into new pastures occasionally he does not remain there when he begins to realize that he is placing his country in jeopardy. The Democrats, like Republicans, make mistakes, but when they have sense enough not to repeat their mistakes they are on the right road. In Pennsylvania yesterday they issued a ringing challenge for all faint-hearl- edness. It was courage so intrinsic and so gallant that the nation breathes easier today than it did on Monday night when it was believed in many quarters that Thomas Kennedy would be nominated on Tuesday. F I LEGION PROGRAM FOR I [MEMORIAL SERVICES On Sunday Evening Former World War Men and Their Families Will Attend St. Paul's Church and Hear Sermon By Pastor—On May 30 Graves Will Be Decorated. This Mayor Seems To Know His Business AT the risk of a scolding from one of its readers The Sun cannot share his perturbation over recent events in Jersey City, New Jersey. If the people of that city, as represented by Mayor Hague, do not want the disturbers and agitators in their midst they have a perfect right to keep them out or get rid of them if they happen to get in. It is about time this country stopped pampering Communists and those two arch-destroyers of freedom, Hitler and Mussolini. Every month the United States was apologizing to the Nazi chief or to the Italian dictator due to the fact that some American had the temerity to criticize the actions of their followers in the United States. If Hitler or Mussolini ever apologized for the insolence of their admirers residing in this country for raising all sorts of disturbances this writer for The Sun failed to find the apology in the daily newspapers. Mayor Hague has the right slant on the admirers of Russian, German and Italian rulership. He knows that if we do not get the better of them they will get the better of us. "It Is a Mad World, My Masters" LET any person of ordinary intelligence glance through the pages of a newspaper published in a large city and he (or she) realizes that more than half the people in the world have gone insane. ; Existence seems a frightful chaos for many persons because they lack a clear philosophy of living. "What^can see us through?" asked Marcus Aurelius in other days of trouble, and answered, "One thing, and one thing only, philosophy." The Sun is not a pessimist, but it believes there is no hope for a society (people as a whole) whose members do not know their own minds, see no rational design or spiritual meaning in life, and have no belief in a world governed by moral principles. There is no peace nor happiness for the individual who does not feel that life is purposeful and that, as Emerson, pointed out, the mere fact that he is here proves that the Soul has need of! an organ here. j Tragic is the lot of one who has no j faith to solace him in days of sorrow! and to sustain his courage in times of trial and failure. The time has arrived for the people of the United States to brace up antl hurl onto the scrap heap some of the silly notions they permitted to creep into their minds after reading about tlie doings and sayings of foreign and domestic knaves. This nation has more than enough blatant blatherskites of its own attempting to tell employers and employes what to do and when to do it, and the sooner they are squelched the betler it will be for the majority of Americans earnestly desirous of earning a decent wage in a decent way, retaining at the same time their own respect and the respect of their neighbors. The Sun has not a word to say against labor unions; as a matter of fact it believes men have a legitimate right to protect themselves by organizing when they feel they are being imposed upon, but some of the wild doings of crafty fellows posing as labor leaders have upset the orderly arrangement under which the average American prefers to work and unless the nonsense ceases the future will be anything but rosy. No-Ca-Hi a Beautiful Book Sponsored By the Senior Class of North Canton High School It Is Well Written, Contains Many Illustrations, and Is a Credit To Those Responsible For Its Publication. For the past 13 years The Sun job office has printed the No-Ca-Hi, the annual book sponsored by the senior class of the North Canton high school. Each year the book has been typographically a thing of beauty, and its contents and'pictures will prove interesting to many persons in the years to come. This year the 14th volume made its appearance on Friday, May 13. Like its predecessors, the No-Ca-Hi will rank with the best of high school annuals, and the owners of The Sun, Hall & Long, take pride not only in the beautiful appearance of the book, but in being associated with those issuing the annual. They gave every assistance and it was a pleasure to work each year with such fine well trained young people. Now that they are leaving school in North Canton The Sun sincerely wishes them "the best o' luck" in whatever venture they undertake. An Able Staff The staff that gathered the material for this publication was as follows: . From the Senior Class, editor-in- chief, Dorothy Lowry; assistant editor, Mary Margaret Glass; business manager, Harold Royer; first assistant business manager, Eugene Shorb; second assistant business manager, Margaret Mohler; literary editor, iTAllliTOED With High School Orchestra. Club Meets Thursday. The N. C. high school orchestra entertained the Rotarians at their meeting on Thursday evening, May 12. Their program proved very good and the Rotarians were proud that as one of their objects they have the privilege of financially helping the high school orchestra with new instruments from time to time. Great improvement was noticed from a year ago, and in the words of j Bill Evans, a charter Rotarian, "The, community can feel proud of our high school orchestra. If as much im-! provement can be made next year we will have an extra fine orchestra." ' The orchestra is under the able leadership of P. W. Taylor, and is composed of seventeen pieces. We are told that only two members will be lost through graduation this year* The Rotary club will hear high lights of the recent district conference held at Cleveland last month at their meeting tomorrow (Thursday) evening. Dr. M. M. Rubright delegate and President Ward Mathie will be the speakers. Dr. Rubright, newly elected presi- Ruth Wagner; art editor, Florence Duff; feature editor, Gayle Lappin; sports editor, Richard Harrison. From the other classes: Junior, Lois Begeit; sophomore, Thomas Hurlburt; freshman, Richard Waltenbaugh; eighth grade, Pauline Chenot; seventh grade, Robert Smiley. Faculty advisor in charge of editing, Miss Ruth Fisher; advisor in charge of business management, Ralph L. Swogger. Record of Activities The book contains a pictorial record of the various classes and activities through the year. Tlie descriptive parts contain history as well as a description of the various individuals and activities. The book is decorated in crimson and silver, 1938 class colors. The photography was done by Mr. Davis; the engraving by the Northern Engraving company. An Appreciative Staff The splendid appearance and content of the book is a combined effort of the faculty advisors, pupils, printers, photographer, engraver and advertisers. The co-operation of all of those interested individuals is greatly appreciated by the annual staff, and they take this opportunity of extending to them the thanks of the staff. dent for 1938-1939, has been chosen a delegate to Rotary International convention at San Francisco, to be held June 19-24. Dr. and Mrs. Rubright expect to attend. TO TALK ON CHINA The Rev. Edwin A. Beck Will Address Brotherhood, May 24. On Tuesday evening May 24, at G:00 o'clock the Rev. Edwin A. Beck, a cousin of Dr. Melvin E. Beck, will address the Brotherhood of Zion Reformed church in the social room. The Rev. Edwin A. Beck has spent 35 years in China and he is here on a furlough. He knows the situation in that war-ridden nation and his opinion will be well worth hearing. He will return to china the latter part of this month. His son John and the latter's wife are in the United States also on a furlough. They, too, will return to China.

The Legion and Auxiliary will then go to Warstler's cemetery to decorate the veterans' graves located there. Origin of Memorial Day Originally known as Decoration day, it was instituted when General John A. Logan, commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, issued his order calling upon G. A. R. Posts to set aside May 30 as a day for decorating the graves of their comrades. Each year since May 30 has been the day set side by the G. A. R. in commemoration of their buddies. With the passing of the years and the thinning ranks of the G. A. R. the work of decorating the graves was passed on to younger men and women. In some communities the task was taken up by the Sons and Daughters of Vetcrns; in some, by the Spanish-American veterans, but in this community the task was taken over by the American Legion. poppydayITnear Mayor Evans Urges People To Buy a Flower Next Week. MAYOR FRANK M. EVANS A week from today, Wednesday, May 25, has been designated as "Poppy Day" by the State of Ohio. Governor Martin L. Davey urges all residents of the state to observe the day by wearing the American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary memorial poppy. Mayor Frank M. Evans said to The Sun: "The people of North Canton are always generous when appealed to in a good cause. The little poppy, made by disabled World War men, in the lapel of our coat or on a dress, means we still cherish the memory of the gallant lads we sent to the army in defense of our homes. "I sincerely hope there will be more poppies sold this year than ever before in North Canton." IN GOOFJALTH Sixty-Five Youngsters Examined By Doctors Here. Mrs. Harry Mohler, chairman of the pre-school clinic, informed The Sun that the committee desires to thank the county nurse, the local doctors and dentists, Supt. T. G. Denton, Boy Scouts, the Community Building officials and others who contributed their time and services during the examination of youngsters old enough to enter kindergarten or the first grade in the Fall. Sixty-five children received attention, and except in a few instances their health was good. o Shooks See Tulip Farm Mr. and Mrs. John Shook and Roy Zengler spent Saturday in Holland, Mich., and witnessed the tulip festival and visited the Nelif tulip farm. "It was a wonderful sight," said Mrs. Shook.

He spoke of conditions of the country, the pleasures and difficulties that he en- countei'ed. Mr. Dorn spent 15 months in South America and had a number of interesting tales to tell.

AND COUNSELLOR funds?" In the vernacular of the day, they would say "a mouthful." Yet the great American government is discharging men from its police force along with the statement that it is short of money. That is a silly excuse; in fact it is an insult to the average person's intelligence. The truth is that the G- Men, as they are known, under the direction of Chief Hoover, made life miserable for murderers, kidnappers and bank robbers, and within a few years proved to the world that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police; the English detectives known as Scotland Yard, and the detectives of Paris, France, are not the only clever detectives. Hoover and his men succeeded when the police in the cities acknowledged that they could not capture many of the most desperate outlaws and murderers. it* Now Hoover must do the same work with a- "skeleton crew." Something is radically wrong somewhere, perhaps pressure is being used, and it starts with the "dirty rats" in tha large cities and keeps climbing until it reaches the top brackets. "Politics" some people call it, and they have the correct name. Although not a betting man, I would be willing to wager ten cents against five cents that the "pressure" used against the G-Men would be removed in less than a month if publishers of large daily newspapers would permit a few star reporters to do a thorough job of investigating the wherefores and whys" for the en Frank!

Just to show him they" appreciated his advice and service he was elected a national'vice-president.

XXX A number of years ago I spent a few days in Detroit. The members of the "Purple Gang" were active at that time. Holdups and murders were frequent, and the services of the gangsters were bought by certain men in other cities. Every good reporter in Detroit To Fabulous Proportions. This is airmail week and North Canton and Canton under the leadership of Louis J. Elsaesser, postmaster of Canton, and men in the office here hayey been giving the anniversary quite a boost. The same goes for the postmasters of Massillon, Alliance, and the other towns and villages in Stark county. A couplejaf weeks ago Superintend- knew the "rats" by sight, and so did ent R. U.

The Big Shot gangster had wires running in many directions and when one of his "rats" got in a jam in Michigan or other states he pulled the wires and his gangster was released or given a light sentence in jail. XXX Across the river from Detroit is a Canadian city of 50,000 people. Windsor is the name of the town and it has an excellent evening newspaper, The Star. I sat in that office and had a friendly chat with one of the editors. He told me that the police blotter contained but two arrests in six Rotary club something about the airmail service. And Clark did. Clark's Informal Talk Twenty years ajjo last Sunday the first airmail route in this country was opened between New York and Washington, via Philadelphia, Pa. Since then the United States airmail service has grown to almost fabulous proportions, and to commemorate that development the period from May 15 to May 21 has been designated as National Airmail Week. The United States airmail service, which is pre-eminent, is above politics, and it is to the men who built t6r ^f^Tthemen.hadbeen arrest": it and the men who fly it that the eTfor being druX ! tribute is being paid by the govern- Wo don't play politics with criminals in Windsor," he remarked grimly. "When an American gangster lands in this town we give him the works. If he goes north a Mountie picks him up.

Make Fast Time A letter by airmail leaves Akron at 6:43 p.m. and arrives in New York city at 8:58 p.m. Going south it leaves New York at 9:10 p.m. and arrives in Miami.

That night in Detroit two business men were shot by members of the Purple gang. it* When the G-Men were given permission to cross the United States in pursuit of criminals the Purple gangsters turned yellow, and they are still yellow. At the name of "G-Men" the most blatant braggart in gangland begins to shake for he well knows that his hours as a gangster are numbered. The G-Man can't be bribed, can't be intimidated, and, like the Royal Canadian Mounted, "he always gets his man." The daily newspapers are filled with the doings or "nothin'-doin'" of investigating committees. Let Congress start a real, honest-to-the-core investigation concerning the reason for reducing Hoover's force, and then watch the investigation end suddenly with the statement: "Hoover's force will not be reduced. The necessary money will be forthcoming to protect the American people against criminals." Reputations would tumble in a hurry if such an investigation took the center of the stage.

RILLS VEGETABLES Haitville Growers Suffer On Account of Frost. The Hartville correspondent of The Sun says: Hartville gardens suffered severly in the cold weather and frosts of tho past week. The swamp vegetable gardens were completely destroyed and many men laid off as the crops will have to be planted again and will not be ready to gather for market until the first part of June. A temperature of 24 was recorded in the swamp and the frost so severe that it froze not only radishes, lettuce and spinach but onions. Monday before the frost struck two truck loads of radishes were sent out to the Cleveland market. This marked a new early date, 1937 having an early erop record when two car loads were shipped out on Memorial day. The damage throughout the swamp runs to several thousands of dollars. Get Results People advertise in The Sun because they get results. Rain and cold evenings put a crimp in sports around this town the past week, but according to the weather man warm days and nights are in sight, and as a result lovers of the outdoors are preparing for a lively summer. The Hoover factory has a strong- team playing in the Industrial league; the horse shoe pitchers are ready, having had a little practice during the past few weeks; the Legion Juniors are waiting for school to close; the Church league has good baseball clubs; the golf enthusiasts, as usual, are "forcing the season," and Willis Wood has been giving the big swimming pool—one of the finest in Ohio— the once-over, and the Community Building expects to open it about the first of June. The tennis club will begin operations on'Saturday, if the weather permits. So all in all, the outlook for a strenuous sports season is anything but a dream. The Swimming Pool Committees are now working on a class schedule for the swimming pool. Methods, of teaching, with emphasis on showing beginners and novices the correct way to act while in the water. Elementary and fancy diving will be given a place on the program. School For Teachers A school for those desiring to teach will be sponsored this year among the members using Thomas Kirls Cureton's text book. A certificate will be presented to those passing the requirements at the end of the course. ON TEJlSlOURTS Opening Day Will Be Saturday If Weather Permits. Offering memberships at reduced rates this season, the North Canton Tennis club announces the opening of the three Hower street courts on this Saturday, May 21, weather permitting. All residents of North Canton are eligible for memberships at the following new low rates: Men, $4.00; women, $3.00; juniors (high school age and under) $1.50; and husband and wife, $5.00. Each membership is from $1.00 to $3.00 lower than last year—in order that more North Canton tennis fans and amateurs can take advantage of the splendid Hower street courts. In this respect, it is pointed out that, even with a large number of members this year, carefully planned schedules will eliminate "too crowded courts." Memberships may be secured at the Community Building or from the following officers of the club: W. Henry Hoover, chairman; J. H. Martin, treasurer and vice-chairman; A. E. Post, personnel manager; H. J. Dunham, publicity director; G. F. Weidman and G. B. Owens. A thrilling game for both young and old, tennis offers such advantages as exercise, recreation, and a chance to be out in the open and acquire a tan. It is inexpensive and easily learned. Officers of the club suggest that North Canton residents join the club immediately in order that no playing time will be lost. They also pass on the tip that memberships in the club would be welcome gifts for high school graduates. VACATION DAYS Public Library Has Literature Filled With Information. The week of May 15-21 has been designated as National Travel Week and the Nortli Canton Library has on display many volumes of travel in this country and abroad. There are pamphlets and foldeis giving facts and trails in vacation resorts in all parts of United States and Canada. More folders are coming in daily as travel bureaus send out their information. This material may be taken out for week periods and will be helpful in planning both week-end and vacation excursions. QilllMI As The Sun Sees It Without Prejudice (aJlllllllllMllllltllltlllMilltlltlllHHIIIIIIHIHI I flltlllllHIMHIHIIIIIMIIIMIItltllllllliHi Pennsylvania Democrats Are Conservative THE Democrats in Pennsylvania yesterday proved to John L. Lewis and his fawning political allies that they are tired of his policy of rule or ruin. His man Thomas Kennedy, seeking the gubernatorial nomination, was soundly defeated. As The Sun has said on several occasions, the American workingman is at heart a conservative and while he may stray into new pastures occasionally he does not remain there when he begins to realize that he is placing his country in jeopardy. The Democrats, like Republicans, make mistakes, but when they have sense enough not to repeat their mistakes they are on the right road. In Pennsylvania yesterday they issued a ringing challenge for all faint-hearl- edness. It was courage so intrinsic and so gallant that the nation breathes easier today than it did on Monday night when it was believed in many quarters that Thomas Kennedy would be nominated on Tuesday. F I LEGION PROGRAM FOR I [MEMORIAL SERVICES On Sunday Evening Former World War Men and Their Families Will Attend St. Paul's Church and Hear Sermon By Pastor—On May 30 Graves Will Be Decorated. This Mayor Seems To Know His Business AT the risk of a scolding from one of its readers The Sun cannot share his perturbation over recent events in Jersey City, New Jersey. If the people of that city, as represented by Mayor Hague, do not want the disturbers and agitators in their midst they have a perfect right to keep them out or get rid of them if they happen to get in. It is about time this country stopped pampering Communists and those two arch-destroyers of freedom, Hitler and Mussolini. Every month the United States was apologizing to the Nazi chief or to the Italian dictator due to the fact that some American had the temerity to criticize the actions of their followers in the United States. If Hitler or Mussolini ever apologized for the insolence of their admirers residing in this country for raising all sorts of disturbances this writer for The Sun failed to find the apology in the daily newspapers. Mayor Hague has the right slant on the admirers of Russian, German and Italian rulership. He knows that if we do not get the better of them they will get the better of us. "It Is a Mad World, My Masters" LET any person of ordinary intelligence glance through the pages of a newspaper published in a large city and he (or she) realizes that more than half the people in the world have gone insane. ; Existence seems a frightful chaos for many persons because they lack a clear philosophy of living. "What^can see us through?" asked Marcus Aurelius in other days of trouble, and answered, "One thing, and one thing only, philosophy." The Sun is not a pessimist, but it believes there is no hope for a society (people as a whole) whose members do not know their own minds, see no rational design or spiritual meaning in life, and have no belief in a world governed by moral principles. There is no peace nor happiness for the individual who does not feel that life is purposeful and that, as Emerson, pointed out, the mere fact that he is here proves that the Soul has need of! an organ here. j Tragic is the lot of one who has no j faith to solace him in days of sorrow! and to sustain his courage in times of trial and failure. The time has arrived for the people of the United States to brace up antl hurl onto the scrap heap some of the silly notions they permitted to creep into their minds after reading about tlie doings and sayings of foreign and domestic knaves. This nation has more than enough blatant blatherskites of its own attempting to tell employers and employes what to do and when to do it, and the sooner they are squelched the betler it will be for the majority of Americans earnestly desirous of earning a decent wage in a decent way, retaining at the same time their own respect and the respect of their neighbors. The Sun has not a word to say against labor unions; as a matter of fact it believes men have a legitimate right to protect themselves by organizing when they feel they are being imposed upon, but some of the wild doings of crafty fellows posing as labor leaders have upset the orderly arrangement under which the average American prefers to work and unless the nonsense ceases the future will be anything but rosy. No-Ca-Hi a Beautiful Book Sponsored By the Senior Class of North Canton High School It Is Well Written, Contains Many Illustrations, and Is a Credit To Those Responsible For Its Publication. For the past 13 years The Sun job office has printed the No-Ca-Hi, the annual book sponsored by the senior class of the North Canton high school. Each year the book has been typographically a thing of beauty, and its contents and'pictures will prove interesting to many persons in the years to come. This year the 14th volume made its appearance on Friday, May 13. Like its predecessors, the No-Ca-Hi will rank with the best of high school annuals, and the owners of The Sun, Hall & Long, take pride not only in the beautiful appearance of the book, but in being associated with those issuing the annual. They gave every assistance and it was a pleasure to work each year with such fine well trained young people. Now that they are leaving school in North Canton The Sun sincerely wishes them "the best o' luck" in whatever venture they undertake. An Able Staff The staff that gathered the material for this publication was as follows: . From the Senior Class, editor-in- chief, Dorothy Lowry; assistant editor, Mary Margaret Glass; business manager, Harold Royer; first assistant business manager, Eugene Shorb; second assistant business manager, Margaret Mohler; literary editor, iTAllliTOED With High School Orchestra. Club Meets Thursday. The N. C. high school orchestra entertained the Rotarians at their meeting on Thursday evening, May 12. Their program proved very good and the Rotarians were proud that as one of their objects they have the privilege of financially helping the high school orchestra with new instruments from time to time. Great improvement was noticed from a year ago, and in the words of j Bill Evans, a charter Rotarian, "The, community can feel proud of our high school orchestra. If as much im-! provement can be made next year we will have an extra fine orchestra." ' The orchestra is under the able leadership of P. W. Taylor, and is composed of seventeen pieces. We are told that only two members will be lost through graduation this year* The Rotary club will hear high lights of the recent district conference held at Cleveland last month at their meeting tomorrow (Thursday) evening. Dr. M. M. Rubright delegate and President Ward Mathie will be the speakers. Dr. Rubright, newly elected presi- Ruth Wagner; art editor, Florence Duff; feature editor, Gayle Lappin; sports editor, Richard Harrison. From the other classes: Junior, Lois Begeit; sophomore, Thomas Hurlburt; freshman, Richard Waltenbaugh; eighth grade, Pauline Chenot; seventh grade, Robert Smiley. Faculty advisor in charge of editing, Miss Ruth Fisher; advisor in charge of business management, Ralph L. Swogger. Record of Activities The book contains a pictorial record of the various classes and activities through the year. Tlie descriptive parts contain history as well as a description of the various individuals and activities. The book is decorated in crimson and silver, 1938 class colors. The photography was done by Mr. Davis; the engraving by the Northern Engraving company. An Appreciative Staff The splendid appearance and content of the book is a combined effort of the faculty advisors, pupils, printers, photographer, engraver and advertisers. The co-operation of all of those interested individuals is greatly appreciated by the annual staff, and they take this opportunity of extending to them the thanks of the staff. dent for 1938-1939, has been chosen a delegate to Rotary International convention at San Francisco, to be held June 19-24. Dr. and Mrs. Rubright expect to attend. TO TALK ON CHINA The Rev. Edwin A. Beck Will Address Brotherhood, May 24. On Tuesday evening May 24, at G:00 o'clock the Rev. Edwin A. Beck, a cousin of Dr. Melvin E. Beck, will address the Brotherhood of Zion Reformed church in the social room. The Rev. Edwin A. Beck has spent 35 years in China and he is here on a furlough. He knows the situation in that war-ridden nation and his opinion will be well worth hearing. He will return to china the latter part of this month. His son John and the latter's wife are in the United States also on a furlough. They, too, will return to China.

The Legion and Auxiliary will then go to Warstler's cemetery to decorate the veterans' graves located there. Origin of Memorial Day Originally known as Decoration day, it was instituted when General John A. Logan, commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, issued his order calling upon G. A. R. Posts to set aside May 30 as a day for decorating the graves of their comrades. Each year since May 30 has been the day set side by the G. A. R. in commemoration of their buddies. With the passing of the years and the thinning ranks of the G. A. R. the work of decorating the graves was passed on to younger men and women. In some communities the task was taken up by the Sons and Daughters of Vetcrns; in some, by the Spanish-American veterans, but in this community the task was taken over by the American Legion. poppydayITnear Mayor Evans Urges People To Buy a Flower Next Week. MAYOR FRANK M. EVANS A week from today, Wednesday, May 25, has been designated as "Poppy Day" by the State of Ohio. Governor Martin L. Davey urges all residents of the state to observe the day by wearing the American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary memorial poppy. Mayor Frank M. Evans said to The Sun: "The people of North Canton are always generous when appealed to in a good cause. The little poppy, made by disabled World War men, in the lapel of our coat or on a dress, means we still cherish the memory of the gallant lads we sent to the army in defense of our homes. "I sincerely hope there will be more poppies sold this year than ever before in North Canton." IN GOOFJALTH Sixty-Five Youngsters Examined By Doctors Here. Mrs. Harry Mohler, chairman of the pre-school clinic, informed The Sun that the committee desires to thank the county nurse, the local doctors and dentists, Supt. T. G. Denton, Boy Scouts, the Community Building officials and others who contributed their time and services during the examination of youngsters old enough to enter kindergarten or the first grade in the Fall. Sixty-five children received attention, and except in a few instances their health was good. o Shooks See Tulip Farm Mr. and Mrs. John Shook and Roy Zengler spent Saturday in Holland, Mich., and witnessed the tulip festival and visited the Nelif tulip farm.
