Hall and Long Sell The Sun

They Come Here From Niagara Falls, N.Y.,
But Mr. Sell Belongs To Pioneer Family
In Stark County and When a Boy Lived
In Canton-Experienced Newspaperman.
Ben Long Stays As Associate Editor
ON Friday, July 1, The Stark County Sun, incorporated, a prosperous weekly newspaper, was sold by Eleanore Hall and Benjamin J. Long, who founded the paper on November 1, 1922,
to Vernon Sell and his wife, Edna M. Sell.
Mr. and Mrs. Sell reside at 116 East
Summit street, North Canton. They
came here from the city of Niagara
Falls, New York, where Mr. Sell was
an executive in a western New York
publishing company.
Belongs to Pioneer Family
Vernon Sell's great grandparents
were born in Stark county, as were
his parents. Canton, Louisville' and
other sections of the county know the
name Sell. Vernon as~ a boy played
in Canton. He learned the printing
business in Iowa and New York state,
and in those states got his first lessons in journalism.
One ambition he secretly entertained for years was to return to Stark
county and own a good weekly newspaper. The Sun was his choice, but
Hall and Long, while in a "receptive
mood," knowing Mr. and Mrs. Sell to
be persons of the highest integrity,
said they "preferred to think it over."
Several meetings followed, and
finally Mrs. Hall and Mr. Long decided to sell The Sun.
In this connection it is only fair
to all parties in the transaction to say
that for several years Hall and Long
were offered a substantial sum of
money by different parties for The
Sun, but refused the offers for the
reason that they did not want to see
The Sun become a Scandal Sheet, a
Bitter Political Rag, a Defamer of
North Canton or Stark county, or conducted in a slipshod manner merely
for the revenue it would earn.
Regardless of the opinion expressed
by a few persons, a real newspaper—
whether daily, weekly or monthly—is
jealous of its reputation, and it possesses what newspaper men call "a
soul."
'    It is equally true that several honorable men offered to purchase The
Sun, but Hall and Long refused to
sell to them because they felt they
had not enough experience in journalism to conduct a newspaper that
would be a credit to North Canton
and  its vicinage.
The late owners of The Sun have
no hesitancy in recommending Mr. and
Mrs. Vernon Sell, the new owners,
publishers and editors. They are the
kind of persons any law-abiding community would welcome as permanent
residents.
Mrs. Hall and Ben Long will continue to' reside at 21G Cole avenue,
North Canton. They have no desire to
live elsewhere.
Ben Long has agreed to remain
with The  Sun as associate editor.
Signed,
ELEANORE HALL,
BEN LONG.

Commenting
upon nine attractively printed and
bound booklets prepared under tho
editorship of Nathan G. Goodman to
illustrate the personality and present
briefly the ideas and philosophy of
Benjamin Franklin, and offered to the
public under the auspices of the
Franklin Institute of Philadelphia, Edward F. Edgett says:
"Under the editorship of Nathan G.
Goodman these homoeopathic doses of
Franklin wisdom serve well to emphasize the versatility of the man.
Little that was human was alien to a
mind that seemed to have no limitations. Behind and beyond and beneath
this man who was Benjamin Franklin,
one idea comes again and again to
the surface as we read him or read
about him. This idea is that despite
his intimate relation to and his labors in his own epoch, he was a man
with his face always towards the future, a man who was in mind and
thought invariably ahead of his time.
He was virtually a man of the twen-

Having resided in Philadelphia for
years, the writer of Told Without Varnish had many opportunities to study
the life and works of Benjamin Franklin—one of the greatest minds the
world has known.
At the age of ten Ben Franklin
started work in a printing office. He
died in 1790 at the age of 84. As
Mr. Edgett so succinctly puts it,
Franklin brought down upon himself
the lightning of the wrath of his enemies as readily as he summoned the
lightning from the skies.   _
His mind led him into the utmost
THIS week the people of North Canton are greeting Raymond E.
Trachsel, recently appointed superintendent of the public schools of
North Canton. After studying his record in educational service The Sun
readily understands the reason the
Board of Education selected him for
the high post, one to which he is
superbly fitted by training and temperament.
A few minutes conversation with
Superintendent Trachsel convinces
men and women that he has character,
holds h i g h - m i n d e d and serious
thoughts, and has a keen and searching way of throwing himself into his
school work. It is the opinion of this
newspaper that when parents and pupils look into the eyes of the superintendent they will find there an im
mediate certainty that he is ready,
even anxious, to hoar what they have
to say. For trivial discussion lie has
little tolerance.
He has a proper respect for the
teaching of the yesteryears—that
respect which persons merely of the
booster sort too often lack—but he
sincerely believes that the structure
for the present and future system ol"
education should be in keeping with
the times. His nature is extraordinarily simple and straightforward,
and his suggestions are conservative
and sound.
The Sun is frank enough to say
that it likes Superintendent Trachsel,
and it feels certain it will like him
"very much" after it knows him better. Hi s appointment assures a
splendid administration of school affairs in North Canton.

SKETCH    OF   HIS   CAREER
The Folly of "Killing Time"
He Visits Mother.
Donald Hyde, son of Mrs. Hyde of
the Schafer-Messerly drug store,
dropped anchor in the North Canton
river just long enough to change his
navy togs for civilian clothes and
come ashore with his bride, California
born, and making her first trip east
with her husband.
After meeting the young lady The
Sun is ready to say that Donald is a
"good picker." Mrs. Hyde is a
charming, handsome girl.
Donald, a wireless operator on the
flagship California, in Pacific waters,
after spending a little time with his
mother; his cousin, Gene Schafer, and
other relatives, weighed anchor and
set sail for Washington, D. C, where
he will take a post-graduate course
of about six weeks in Uncle Sam's
wireless school.  With his wife he will
EVER hear the words, "When I've
got   a   few  moments  I'm   going
to  do  it .   When  I  can  find
time .    I'll   do  it  when  I've  got
some time to spare."
Of course you have. It is safe to
say you- have heard them a hundred
times. If you talk like that, you're
under a complete misapprehension as
to tlie nature of Time. It isn't something you have, or tint}, or can spare.
Time is something you make—and the
wonderful thing about it is that you
can make just as much as you need.
it's so easy, too. You don't need
a factory. You don't need any special
tools or equipment. You make Time
simply by organizing your activities.
You can put it in an even simpler
way. You can make Time by organizing yourself.
We devise a hundred clever devices
to "save time;" we rearrange schedules with this same commendable end
in view. Yet, having "saved time,"
how many there are who do not know
how to apply this hoarded treasure ?
They save it only to lose it; and the
to us almost like murder.
Of the working hours, many a precious minute can be used unfruitfully,
indifferently, airily regarded as "time
to spare," when it might well be applied to fortifying tlie thinking
strength of the individual and making
for increased efficiency.
A minute lost is lost for ever. How
conserve and best utilize this evanescent treasure? It largely resolves
itself into a question of what we are
wishful of making of our lives. If
our object be a life of leisure, of self-
chosen' inactivity, of enjoyment, then-
Time is ours to be ruthlessly frittered away. But if the desire to
achieve is uppermost, the treasury of
time is ours to draw upon as wisely
as we will.
The man who has no Time is the
man who has a sloppy mind, who
lacks the power of thought, who can't
concentrate, who can't plan, who can't
look ahead.
Time can always be made by anyone who will do first things first, who
will do things steadily and in order,
who will refuse to "put off," who will
just drive right ahead with wiiatever
very notion  of "killing time" seems I has to be done

G. Denton not being an applicant for
the office.
As The Sun understands it, Mr.
Trachsel had not applied for the position, but knowing his record as a
successful teacher and manager, tile
members of the school board extended
an invitation to Mr. Trachsel to become the head of the schools. Realizing that North Canton is a growing
town and that he has a much larger
field, Mr. Trachsel accepted.
Sketch of His Career
Raymond E. Trachsel (pronounced
TROXEL) was born in Sugarcreek
township, Tuscarawas county, Ohio.
He attended the township elementary
schools and was graduated from the
Sugarcreek-Shanesville high school in
1914. He attended Wooster college
summer sessions of 1916-17, and the
summer sessions in Kent college from
1918 to 1927. In the latter year he
was awarded the degree of B. S. in
education. From 1931 to 1930 he attended Ohio State university where he
secured his M. A.
Teaching Experience
He has had a varied experience in
teaching. Three years in a one-room
rural school, Tuscarawas county
(1914-17); two years principal third
grade high school Midvale (1917-19);
six years coach of athletics and Ind.
Arts instructor (Minerva, 1919-25);
one year principal and critic teacher
Franklin township; elementary school
(Kent university teachers' training
school, 1926 27); eleven years superintendent Canal Fulton public schools
(1927-1938).
While superintendent in Canal Fulton he "pepped up" the activities and
organizations of the school. The glee
club contains 75 members; the band
has 50 pieces, the orchestra 50 members. During his administration the
bus transportation system carried 205
pupils daily.
Had a Number of Winners
The county literary debates always
interested Superintendent Trachsel, so
it is not surprising to learn that in
the contests tho pupils of the Canal
Fulton school entered they emerged
winners of the 1938 debates.
Canal Fulton under his administration "brought home the bacon" in
county, district and state basketball
championships, and the scholarship
teams of 1931-37 entered the hall of
fame.
Football, music, literature and other
activities climbed the rungs high
while he was in that town, and as a
result the Canal Fulton school is
known in all parts of Ohio.
His Family Life
Superintendent Trachsel is what is
known as "a family man," an excellent title for the head of a big school.
His wife is Ethel Wallick Thachsel
and they have four children. One son,
they have four children. One son,
Adrian, is attending Kent State university; Kathryn will be a senior in
the North Canton high school; Dale
a freshman, and Doris in the seventh
grade.
The educational line appeals to the
Trachsels for we find the superintendent's brother holding the position of
principal of the Genoa school, Perry
township,  Stark county.
When Raymond E. Trachsel was engaged as superintendent of tho Canal
Fulton school in 1927 it had an enrollment of 210 pupils and eight
teachers. When he left the school in
June this year it contained 465 pupils
nnd 17 teachers.
Mr. Trachsel is an active member
of the Lutheran church. He i.s a Ro-
tarian, and he belongs to the Masonic
fraternity.
