SCHOOLS PREPARING
FOR VACATION DAYS
Baccalaureate Sermons Will Be
Heard In All Sections of Stark
and Summit Counties On Sunday Evening, May 22—After
That Date the Graduates Are
Ready For Commencement.
SATURDAY  IS   PICNIC  DAY
When it is announced that "the
Rev. Mr. So-and-So has been selected
to deliver the annual baccalaureate
sermon" people know that school days
ai'e ending for those in high school;
that the commencement address is the
next event on the program, and after,
that the curtain.
For some of the graduates.it is only
the beginning of real study because
in the Fall they will be enrolled in
college seeking a higher education.
For the majority of high school graduates in all parts of the United States
it is the end unless they decide to
secure additional education by attending night school or adding to their
store of knowledge by reading worthwhile" books.
Opportunities For Education
No one need go hungry for more
knowledge if they are determined to
secure it. It is at their doorstep, certainly in North Canton and its environs. There are excellent night
schools in Canton and Akron, and
there are public libraries. Right here
in North Canton is one of the best
small town libraries in Ohio and its
"welcome" sign has never been taken
down.
Sermon On Sunday Night
Each year in this town the clergymen take turns in delivering the baccalaureate sermon. On Sunday evening at 7:30 in The Community Christian church the Rev. M. A. Cossaboom will address the graduates and
their relatives and friends.
In the news from The Sun's correspondents on other pages the reader will learn the name of the clergyman, the church, and the hour when
the baccalaureate sermon will be delivered.
The commencement exercises take
place in the high school auditorium on
Friday evening, May 27. Prof. W. R.
Veazey will be the speaker.
Saturday, May 21, is the day that
has been set aside for the school picnics.

player and entertained with a number
of pleasing selections.
C. A. Dorn of Canton, mining engineer, gave an enlightening address
on his experiences as nlant superintendent of a large smelting factory in

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. His address was
educational as well as entertaining.

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.

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

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.

Across the river from Detroit is a
Canadian city of 50,000 people. Windsor is the name of the town and it

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

A letter by airmail leaves Akron
at 6:43 p.m. and arrives in New York

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."
