Local Rotarians Will Attend District Assembly Alliance Scene of Meeting For Leaders of 44 Rotary Clubs Comprising 158th District of Rotary International. A. C. HORROCKS Dr. M. M. Rubright, president, and the Rev. N. B. Emch, secretary, will represent the Rotary club of North Canton when the leaders of the forty- four Rotary clubs, comprising the 158th District of Rotary International, meet at their Annual District Assembly at Alliance, Ohio, August 8. Other leaders in the local Rotary Club who also plan to attend the Alliance meeting are Ervin Royer, Thomas Denton and a number of others. The District Assembly is an annual meeting of club officers and major committee chairmen for the purpose of planning Rotary activities in the District for the coming year. Particular interest is attached to the 158th District Assembly this year in view of the fact that the Rotary International convention will be held in Cleveland in June, 1939, at which 10,- 000 delegates representing clubs in 4800 cities all over the world are expected to attend. The Alliance Assembly will close with a dinner, at which Arthur C. Horrocks of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber company will speak on "New Frontiers for Youth," work among boys and young men being one of tho community activities sponsored by Rotary clubs in the District. THE ROTARY CLUB Twenty-four members attended Rotary club meeting last Thursday evening at the Community Christian church. Francis Hammond, new public school music director, was a guest of the Rev. N. B. Emch and spoke briefly of his plans for the coining school year. He has been engaged to address the club on Thursday evening, August 11. President M. M. Rubright introduced the main speaker for the evening, Lincoln Lippencott of St. Louis, who gave a very forceful address on "Safety" using as his theme: "Ro- tary's Supply Power." He spoke of the new movement "Not Over 50" club that is doing a great deal in reducing the number of automobile fatalities. It is a movement sponsored by a number of insurance companies urging people driving automobiles to drive not over 50 miles an hour, claiming that speed is the greatest cause of accidents on our highways.- The speaker said: "You will never reach 70 going 70" and asserted that he felt the time would soon come when the Governors of the states would enforce all drivers to keep within 50 miles an hour. A Community Picnic to be known as W. H. Hoover Day will be held at Hoover camp Thursday, Aug. 18. New Rotary Club A new Rotary club was chartered at Malvern, Ohio, on Monday evening, August 1.

Boy Campers Visit Akron Airport Yesterday Get First-hand Information On the Operation of Instruments, Planes, Teletype Machines and Airship Construction. To Pick Ten Boys For Week-End At West Creek Selected On Basis Of Handcraft Work, Boys Will Remain Over Night. Stay-at-Home Camp Meeting With Much Success. Jack Coughlin, director of boys' work at the Community Building, last- night announced that 10 boys, who have done the best work in handcraft at the "Stay-at-Home" camp would be taken on an overnight hike this week-end. The boys will hike to West Creek Saturday where they will remain overnight, returning Sunday afternoon. This hike will be under the direction of Bill Stull and Wesley Liebtag. Success of the "Camp-at-Home" daytime camp for North Canton boys, tried here for the first time, is definitely assured, through the attendance of many boys anxious to learn handcraft. Though the attendance is somewhot spasmodic, there has been enough interest shown to warrant its continuance said Jack Coughlin, director of boys' activities at the Community Building, who, together with Jack Zengler and Bill Stull, is supervising the camp. Ring-making is definitely the biggest attraction. For this work, a cellulose material that can easily be filed arid sandpapered, is used. Each youngster is allowed to make it in any style, shape or color he so desires and does all of his own work except for occasional help from the supervisors. For those not interested in rings, there is leatherwork, soap carving, model airplanes, etc. A few who have become interested in Twenty-two members of the "Stay- at-Home" camp spent Tuesday afternoon at the Akron airport, at which place they were conducted on a tour of the hangars and dock. Arriving at the airport around 4:30 p.m. the boys went to the Administration building where they were shown through the telegraphic room, weather bureau, given information on the barometer, measuring wind vel ocity, and the use of ballons with in struments for recording weather con ditions. From the Administration building, the group went over to the Dock where they watched construction work on the new government airship. They were given explanations on the use of duraluminum in the building of the ship and other numerous phases of airship construction. Their next stop was at the hangars. Here attendants took them on a tour, explaining salient facts about every ship in the hangar, allowing the boys to climb into them and give them a thorough inspection. Following their sojourn in the hangars, they went to the pavilion on the runway where they ate their lunch. Returning once more to the Administration building, the boys watched three transport ships land and take off on their scheduled runs. The entire trip was under the supervision of Jack Coughlin, director of boys' work at the Community Building, who revealed that next week's trip would be to the Alliance airplane factory. WEST PARK DEFEATS NORTH END have turned out truly amazing articles, considering their lack of experience. Sports also help fill the program with goofy golf drawing by far, the biggest interest. The golf course is a six hole affair, laid out over the hillside east of the pool. If one could remove the high grass, water holes, trees, rocks, brambles, etc., it would be possible to shoot a 20, but as it is, 46 is the best score to date. Another catch is the fact that an indoor baseball and bat is used, not a regular golf club and ball. This really makes it tough. The ball is batted along the ground and should you land in the middle of a bramble patch, well, that's your tough luck. The first week period of the camp closes today but activity will again get under way tomorrow. HALL-LONG FAMILY Rally In Final Innings To Win 16 to 10 Hitting safely in every inning, the West Park team staged a nine run rally in the final two innings to take a 16 to 10 win over the North End Friday morning at the football field. The champs got to Hickey for seven tallies in the first two innings, rapping out but four hits as six East End miscues helped their cause. The North End rallied in the second and third to pull up within two runs of their rivals and then staged an uprising in the fifth that sent them into the lead by a 10 to 7 count. i The sixth really ended the game as leatherwork, far as the North Enders were con cerned when West Park forged into a 11 to 10 count by sending four men across but they came back in the final frame to add five more to their total. Members Leave On Thursday Morning For Visit In the East. Tomorrow morning (Thursday) Mrs. Eleanor Hall, Ben Long, Miss Alberta Gilbert and Miss Catherine Lavy will leave North Canton for the Atlantic coast where they expect to spend two weeks. They will visit Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Albany, New York city, At lantic City, Philadelphia and Scranton, Pa. Ben Long expects to spend a couple of days in Boston. If he does he wants to see Ralph Warstler in action for the Bees. Before they left they went to Canton and cast an "absentee voter's ballot" in the office of the board of elections in the courthouse annex. Certificates of Title Issued Certificates of titles issued for the month of July, as reported by C. Frank Sherrard, clerk of courts, are as follows: There were 4,296 certificates of title issued, of which 270 were for new cars and 1,022 for used cars sold by dealers, the balance being individual transfers.

Mrs. Lucille Cameron of North Canton is a candidate for State Central Committee woman on the Democratic "ticket. Por a number of years she has been a faithful worker in the party, and as she is the only candidate in this section of the county she has a right to expect the support of the Democrats of North Canton and its vicinity. The position does not pay any salary. .

Progress is shown by the ship's movement around the walls of the north room. For every ten books read, a gold star is pasted on the hull or sail of the ship. W. P. A. help is being used to mount art pictures which may be borrowed by teachers of the various schools in this locality. There is an unusually fine collection of the best works of the early painters. Work is also being done on sheet music donated by townspeople through a drive held by the Music club. It is expected that over 400 pieces will be bound and cataloged before the summer is over. CHINA CUPPER Al Geese, who has been confined to bed, is steadily improving. STUDENTS SM FOR FREE INSTRUCTION Plea Is Made For Instruments As Fifty-five Enroll. As announced in last week's Sun, Francis E. Hammond, the new music supervisor, is giving free instruction on band and orchestra instruments, at the high school building. As this article is being written, more than fifty pupils have returned the enrollment blank which was sent to every parent in the school district, and many have signified their intention of doing so as soon as vacation is over. Naturally, it is to every child's advantage to start as soon as possible, in order that they may become proficient on their instrument much sooner. Of these signed up, there is an over- supply of cornets and trumpets, and a deficiency of woodwinds. The parents, whose children were members of the saxette band, are especially urged to start them on clarinet, as their previous experience will prove most valuable. Perhaps there are folks in tbe community who would like to help the cause of instrumental music in our school, by loaning or giving to the school, some instrument which is in their possession but not in use. By calling Supt. Trachsel's office at the high school, informing them of such an instrument, some one from the school will be sent to get it. The school would appreciate it very much, and it would help some child who might otherwise be deprived of a musical education. Watermelon Hunt Attracts Many Boys and Girls Melons Weighted and Sunk In Pool As Contestants Are Forced To Wait For Signal To Begin Search. Mrs. Vasbinder and daughter, Mrs. L. E. Morris and son Dean and Miss Thelma Vasbinder returned Sunday from a visit with relatives in Dover and New Philadelphia.

Later the couple left for Niagara Falls and Canada. Upon their return, they will reside at 202 Pershing An overtime period was necessary to decide the outcome of the water polo match between teams captained by Dorothy McClelland and Barbara Wood after the regulation game had ended in a 30 to 30 tie Friday evening. The final score was 35 to 30. Play was fast and furious with plenty of ducking, spluttering and splashing as McClelland's team rolled up a comfortable 25 to 0 halftime lead. Opening the second half. McClelland and Swearingen switched sides to make the game more even and immediately the heretofore losing team put on a spurt to score three times m the third period and then add three more in the fourth to forge into the lead. Churning down the pool in the final minute of play, Jean King scored a goal for her side to tie the game and send it into overtime. In the first two minutes of the overtime, Genevieve Swearingen came through with the winning goal. Sterling Pollock led the scoring drive for the team captained by Howard Bosehart as they enjoyed a walkaway, or rather a swimaway, by a 45 to 0 count over their opponents. Play started slow with Bosehart's team scoring one goal in the first period. Opening the second frame, action speeded up and at the end of the half the score was 20 to 0. As in the girl's game, a swap in personnel was also made with J. McCue and Diamond changing sides. The change did little good as Bosehart's team added two more goals in the third and three in the- fourth to turn the game into a rout. Lineups and summaries: Goals: McClelland 5, G. Miesmer 4, J. King, H. King, Spitler. 'Changed teams second holf. Billy Cahill Lands Bass Billy Cahill, one of The Sun's carrier boys, has been enjoying a fishing trip through Michigan. A card to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Cahill, revealed that he landed a pound and a half black bass at Three Rivers, Michigan. Amidst much splashing and merrymaking, ten girls and boys were richer by a watermelon Thursday evening at the pool as the annual hunt sponsored by the Community Building was held. Despite the fact that those fortunate enough to bring up a melon from the bottom of the pool were pestered by swimmers and non-swimmers alike until they shared their spoils, a lot of fun was had by everyone who witnessed the event. The melons were placed in a burlap bag and then weighted down with bricks and while the various contestants were sent outside they were secreted somewhere in the pool. At a signal, there was a mad rush for the pool and much spluttering and splashing as they searched the bottom for their prize. Some were found quickly and others took a little longer. Holt Needs Help In the event for large girls, Eleanor Holt found a melon but was unable to bring it to shore and called for aid. Amid the scramble to help her out, Jean King arrived first and took the melon to shore. In the older boy's division, Kenny McKinney and Bill Nodle came up with melons. Eleanor Holt and Alice Wise were the lucky ones in the large girl's class while Johnny Howard and Dick Streebe took the honors for the small boys. Marguerite Nodle and Margaret Heim were the winners in the small girl's class while Glenn Saylor came through for the beginners. The final event was a free-for-all in the deepest part of the pool and Helen King found the melon snuggling along the fence. When everything was over, all that could be found was rinds and seeds all over the confines of the pool. Primary Day Is Tuesday, Aug. 9 Select Your Men Upon Your Decision Depends the Class of Officials, Republicans and Democrats, You Get For Several Years. By BEN LONG MRS. GOLDSMITH INJURED Sustains Broken Noae and Chest Injuries In Accident Last Tuesday Mrs. Pearl Goldsmith of Middle- branch sustained a broken nose, facial lacerations, chest injuries and several broken ribs, a week ago Tuesday, when the car in which she was riding was sideswiped and struck a tree. The accident occurred on the Harrisburg road and Mrs. Goldsmith was rushed to Mercy hospital in the Whittcar ambulance where she was treated for her injuries. Mrs. Goldsmith was riding in a car driven by her husband which was sideswiped by another car traveling soutli, forcing them from the road. The car was badly damaged. Released from the hospital after three days, Mrs. Goldsmith is now convalescing at her home. WITH the campaign echoing from newspapers and public platforms and over the radio it is hardly necessary to mention the fact that Tuesday, August 9, is primary day in Ohio. But it is never out of order to voice the reminder that in the primary as in the election it is the duty of the citizen to go to the polls and register his (or her) choice. On Tuesday there should be no slackers. In no better way can citizens of Ohio show that they are prepared to do their part in the affairs of county, state and nation than through the medium of the ballot. Most people will feel grateful that the primary campaign is practically over. It has not, in some quarters, been a dignified one. The Day followers have thrown considerable mud in the direction of the Taft camp, and Taft's friends have not been idle. In the southern part of the state the Bricker and anti-Bricker forces have locked horns, and while it is true Bricker has no opposition for the nomination there are thousands of Republicans who openly say they will not support him in November. There surely has been plenty of personal denunciation in the Davey and Sawyer camps, but if the tongue lashings cause the people to go to tho primary on Aug. 9 no one will seriously object to the manifestations of zeal displayed by the belligerents seeking the nomination. t t t THE Democratic candidate for United States Senator, Robert J. Bulkley, and the Democratic candidate for Congressman-at-Large, Harold G. Mosier, have conducted dignified campaigns. The same can be truthfully said concerning Congressman William R. Thom. As a matter of fact the Stark county candidates on the Republican and Democratic tickets have refrained from mud slinging, although a little whispering has been indulged in. That was to be expected. Even a saint would have his halo knocked sidewise if he sought a nomination on a political ticket. The primary opposition Congressman Thom faces is of the weakest kind, neverless his friends are wise in urging Democrats to place an X in front of his name for the reason that a small vote would encourage his political opponents to renewed efforts to defeat him in November. One of the puzzling questions of this campaign is the vote Jim Seccombe and his opponent, H. Ross Ake, will poll for the nomination for Congress. Mr. Ake secured it two years ago, but was trounced by Bill Thom at the general election. Mayor Seccombe is a cheerful philosopher; his opinions are his own and vigorously set forth, and it would not surprise the writer of this column to read on August 10 that Seccombe had defeated Mr. Ake by a substantial vote.

Miesmer Wood ♦Swearingen MASCOUTAH, ILL.—Special CFI Photo to The Sun by Arthur D. Jenkins, Mascoutah, 111. Work on tearing down this huge hangar at Scott Field will begin shortly. Said to be the second largest in America, it has never housed a Zeppelin, although built for their accommodation. The destruction of the hangar is a part of the plans oftheWar Department in changing Scott Field to a strictly heavier-than-air post. This field will now become General Headquarters of the air service in America, the main field in the center of the United States, maximum freedom from foreign attack is attained, together with ease in mobilizing planes to either coast. VOTERS should judge candidates for office by the same standards they would like applied to themselves in their own work. If a man in public office has served the county, state and nation competently and faithfully, doing his whole duty, then he deserves a square deal from the citizens in return. Senator Bulkl.y has been a model public servant. He has brought honor to Ohio. Harold G. Mosier, Congressman-at- Large, has demonstrated time and again his ability. There is not the slightest reason for displacing him except the lone excuse that someone else wants his job. Congressman William R. Thorn's opponents have had opportunity to offer their criticisms of his public service. They have made none of consequence. This column believes he is the right man for the place, consequently it heartily endorses him. t t t THE writer of this column leaves tomorrow morning for the .Atlantic coast, but he voted an absentee ballot last week, so his vote will be counted. Other members of his family who will accompany him east also voted. In our house we believe it is the duty of every American to vote, in the primary and at the general election. The X in front of a candidate's name may mean your salvation or your destruction. Keep that thought in mind after entering the election booth. LOCKE SERVICES HELD Girl Companion Recovering From Injuries in Mercy Hospital Funeral services for Willis Locke, 22, fatally injured early Sunday morning on the Akron-Canton road, were conducted this afternoon in the Seesholtz Memorial, Canton, with an uncle, the Rev. Locke of Portsmouth officiating. Interment was made in Forest Hill cemetery. Locke died Sunday morning in Mercy hospital. Miss Birdelle Kirk- bride, 22 of 2225 18th street NE., who was with him at the time of the accident, is recovering from her injuries in Mercy hospital. Her condition was revealed as not being serious.

Boy Campers Visit Akron Airport Yesterday Get First-hand Information On the Operation of Instruments, Planes, Teletype Machines and Airship Construction. To Pick Ten Boys For Week-End At West Creek Selected On Basis Of Handcraft Work, Boys Will Remain Over Night. Stay-at-Home Camp Meeting With Much Success. Jack Coughlin, director of boys' work at the Community Building, last- night announced that 10 boys, who have done the best work in handcraft at the "Stay-at-Home" camp would be taken on an overnight hike this week-end. The boys will hike to West Creek Saturday where they will remain overnight, returning Sunday afternoon. This hike will be under the direction of Bill Stull and Wesley Liebtag. Success of the "Camp-at-Home" daytime camp for North Canton boys, tried here for the first time, is definitely assured, through the attendance of many boys anxious to learn handcraft. Though the attendance is somewhot spasmodic, there has been enough interest shown to warrant its continuance said Jack Coughlin, director of boys' activities at the Community Building, who, together with Jack Zengler and Bill Stull, is supervising the camp. Ring-making is definitely the biggest attraction. For this work, a cellulose material that can easily be filed arid sandpapered, is used.

The entire trip was under the supervision of Jack Coughlin, director of boys' work at the Community Building, who revealed that next week's trip would be to the Alliance airplane factory. WEST PARK DEFEATS NORTH END have turned out truly amazing articles, considering their lack of experience. Sports also help fill the program with goofy golf drawing by far, the biggest interest. The golf course is a six hole affair, laid out over the hillside east of the pool. If one could remove the high grass, water holes, trees, rocks, brambles, etc., it would be possible to shoot a 20, but as it is, 46 is the best score to date. Another catch is the fact that an indoor baseball and bat is used, not a regular golf club and ball. This really makes it tough. The ball is batted along the ground and should you land in the middle of a bramble patch, well, that's your tough luck. The first week period of the camp closes today but activity will again get under way tomorrow. HALL-LONG FAMILY Rally In Final Innings To Win 16 to 10 Hitting safely in every inning, the West Park team staged a nine run rally in the final two innings to take a 16 to 10 win over the North End Friday morning at the football field. The champs got to Hickey for seven tallies in the first two innings, rapping out but four hits as six East End miscues helped their cause. The North End rallied in the second and third to pull up within two runs of their rivals and then staged an uprising in the fifth that sent them into the lead by a 10 to 7 count. i The sixth really ended the game as leatherwork, far as the North Enders were con cerned when West Park forged into a 11 to 10 count by sending four men across but they came back in the final frame to add five more to their total. Members Leave On Thursday Morning For Visit In the East. Tomorrow morning (Thursday) Mrs. Eleanor Hall, Ben Long, Miss Alberta Gilbert and Miss Catherine Lavy will leave North Canton for the Atlantic coast where they expect to spend two weeks.

As announced in last week's Sun, Francis E. Hammond, the new music supervisor, is giving free instruction on band and orchestra instruments, at the high school building. As this article is being written, more than fifty pupils have returned the enrollment blank which was sent to every parent in the school district, and many have signified their intention of doing so as soon as vacation is over. Naturally, it is to every child's advantage to start as soon as possible, in order that they may become proficient on their instrument much sooner. Of these signed up, there is an over- supply of cornets and trumpets, and a deficiency of woodwinds. The parents, whose children were members of the saxette band, are especially urged to start them on clarinet, as their previous experience will prove most valuable. Perhaps there are folks in tbe community who would like to help the cause of instrumental music in our school, by loaning or giving to the school, some instrument which is in their possession but not in use. By calling Supt. Trachsel's office at the high school, informing them of such an instrument, some one from the school will be sent to get it. The school would appreciate it very much, and it would help some child who might otherwise be deprived of a musical education.

The final score was 35 to 30. Play was fast and furious with plenty of ducking, spluttering and splashing as McClelland's team rolled up a comfortable 25 to 0 halftime lead. Opening the second half. McClelland and Swearingen switched sides to make the game more even and immediately the heretofore losing team put on a spurt to score three times m the third period and then add three more in the fourth to forge into the lead. Churning down the pool in the final minute of play, Jean King scored a goal for her side to tie the game and send it into overtime. In the first two minutes of the overtime, Genevieve Swearingen came through with the winning goal. Sterling Pollock led the scoring drive for the team captained by Howard Bosehart as they enjoyed a walkaway, or rather a swimaway, by a 45 to 0 count over their opponents. Play started slow with Bosehart's team scoring one goal in the first period. Opening the second frame, action speeded up and at the end of the half the score was 20 to 0. As in the girl's game, a swap in personnel was also made with J. McCue and Diamond changing sides. The change did little good as Bosehart's team added two more goals in the third and three in the- fourth to turn the game into a rout. Lineups and summaries: Goals: McClelland 5, G. Miesmer 4, J. King, H. King, Spitler. 'Changed teams second holf. Billy Cahill Lands Bass Billy Cahill, one of The Sun's carrier boys, has been enjoying a fishing trip through Michigan. A card to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Cahill, revealed that he landed a pound and a half black bass at Three Rivers, Michigan. Amidst much splashing and merrymaking, ten girls and boys were richer by a watermelon Thursday evening at the pool as the annual hunt sponsored by the Community Building was held. Despite the fact that those fortunate enough to bring up a melon from the bottom of the pool were pestered by swimmers and non-swimmers alike until they shared their spoils, a lot of fun was had by everyone who witnessed the event. The melons were placed in a burlap bag and then weighted down with bricks and while the various contestants were sent outside they were secreted somewhere in the pool. At a signal, there was a mad rush for the pool and much spluttering and splashing as they searched the bottom for their prize. Some were found quickly and others took a little longer. Holt Needs Help In the event for large girls, Eleanor Holt found a melon but was unable to bring it to shore and called for aid. Amid the scramble to help her out, Jean King arrived first and took the melon to shore. In the older boy's division, Kenny McKinney and Bill Nodle came up with melons. Eleanor Holt and Alice Wise were the lucky ones in the large girl's class while Johnny Howard and Dick Streebe took the honors for the small boys. Marguerite Nodle and Margaret Heim were the winners in the small girl's class while Glenn Saylor came through for the beginners. The final event was a free-for-all in the deepest part of the pool and Helen King found the melon snuggling along the fence. When everything was over, all that could be found was rinds and seeds all over the confines of the pool. Primary Day Is Tuesday, Aug. 9 Select Your Men Upon Your Decision Depends the Class of Officials, Republicans and Democrats, You Get For Several Years. By BEN LONG MRS. GOLDSMITH INJURED Sustains Broken Noae and Chest Injuries In Accident Last Tuesday Mrs. Pearl Goldsmith of Middle- branch sustained a broken nose, facial lacerations, chest injuries and several broken ribs, a week ago Tuesday, when the car in which she was riding was sideswiped and struck a tree. The accident occurred on the Harrisburg road and Mrs. Goldsmith was rushed to Mercy hospital in the Whittcar ambulance where she was treated for her injuries. Mrs. Goldsmith was riding in a car driven by her husband which was sideswiped by another car traveling soutli, forcing them from the road. The car was badly damaged. Released from the hospital after three days, Mrs. Goldsmith is now convalescing at her home. WITH the campaign echoing from newspapers and public platforms and over the radio it is hardly necessary to mention the fact that Tuesday, August 9, is primary day in Ohio. But it is never out of order to voice the reminder that in the primary as in the election it is the duty of the citizen to go to the polls and register his (or her) choice. On Tuesday there should be no slackers. In no better way can citizens of Ohio show that they are prepared to do their part in the affairs of county, state and nation than through the medium of the ballot. Most people will feel grateful that the primary campaign is practically over. It has not, in some quarters, been a dignified one. The Day followers have thrown considerable mud in the direction of the Taft camp, and Taft's friends have not been idle. In the southern part of the state the Bricker and anti-Bricker forces have locked horns, and while it is true Bricker has no opposition for the nomination there are thousands of Republicans who openly say they will not support him in November. There surely has been plenty of personal denunciation in the Davey and Sawyer camps, but if the tongue lashings cause the people to go to tho primary on Aug. 9 no one will seriously object to the manifestations of zeal displayed by the belligerents seeking the nomination. t t t THE Democratic candidate for United States Senator, Robert J. Bulkley, and the Democratic candidate for Congressman-at-Large, Harold G. Mosier, have conducted dignified campaigns. The same can be truthfully said concerning Congressman William R. Thom. As a matter of fact the Stark county candidates on the Republican and Democratic tickets have refrained from mud slinging, although a little whispering has been indulged in. That was to be expected. Even a saint would have his halo knocked sidewise if he sought a nomination on a political ticket. The primary opposition Congressman Thom faces is of the weakest kind, neverless his friends are wise in urging Democrats to place an X in front of his name for the reason that a small vote would encourage his political opponents to renewed efforts to defeat him in November. One of the puzzling questions of this campaign is the vote Jim Seccombe and his opponent, H. Ross Ake, will poll for the nomination for Congress. Mr. Ake secured it two years ago, but was trounced by Bill Thom at the general election. Mayor Seccombe is a cheerful philosopher; his opinions are his own and vigorously set forth, and it would not surprise the writer of this column to read on August 10 that Seccombe had defeated Mr. Ake by a substantial vote.

Miesmer Wood ♦Swearingen MASCOUTAH, ILL.—Special CFI Photo to The Sun by Arthur D. Jenkins, Mascoutah, 111. Work on tearing down this huge hangar at Scott Field will begin shortly. Said to be the second largest in America, it has never housed a Zeppelin, although built for their accommodation. The destruction of the hangar is a part of the plans oftheWar Department in changing Scott Field to a strictly heavier-than-air post. This field will now become General Headquarters of the air service in America, the main field in the center of the United States, maximum freedom from foreign attack is attained, together with ease in mobilizing planes to either coast. VOTERS should judge candidates for office by the same standards they would like applied to themselves in their own work. If a man in public office has served the county, state and nation competently and faithfully, doing his whole duty, then he deserves a square deal from the citizens in return. Senator Bulkl.y has been a model public servant. He has brought honor to Ohio. Harold G. Mosier, Congressman-at- Large, has demonstrated time and again his ability. There is not the slightest reason for displacing him except the lone excuse that someone else wants his job. Congressman William R. Thorn's opponents have had opportunity to offer their criticisms of his public service. They have made none of consequence. This column believes he is the right man for the place, consequently it heartily endorses him. t t t THE writer of this column leaves tomorrow morning for the .Atlantic coast, but he voted an absentee ballot last week, so his vote will be counted. Other members of his family who will accompany him east also voted. In our house we believe it is the duty of every American to vote, in the primary and at the general election. The X in front of a candidate's name may mean your salvation or your destruction. Keep that thought in mind after entering the election booth. LOCKE SERVICES HELD Girl Companion Recovering From Injuries in Mercy Hospital Funeral services for Willis Locke, 22, fatally injured early Sunday morning on the Akron-Canton road, were conducted this afternoon in the Seesholtz Memorial, Canton, with an uncle, the Rev.
