Hummel Injured in Accident Faints at Wheel, Car Crashes Into Tree; Brother Riding With Him Uninjured; Taken To Hospital Great Nation Laid Low A nation is a good deal like a tree. It may take a century to grow a fine oak or elm, but you can cut it down in a day. So we see Holland, a wonderful nation with a grand record; and a power on the earth for centuries. Yet the Ger- mjan.war machine overran the greater part of it in five days, and drove its noble and beautiful Queen into exile. The Dutch people, as a result of their bold explorations and masterful power in past centuries, had a great colonial empire in the East Indies, where they have governed nearly 40,000,000 people. Now the future of those great islands is all in doubt. Who will grab them, and will the United States do anything about it? The neutral countries might have escaped the German juggernaut, if they had all worked together, and allowed Britain and France .to send troops to protect them in advance of German attack. Acting separately, they have fallen like ten pins on a bowling alley. Front and Back Some people are fairly particular about the way they keep their home places, but they have the feeling that most anything will go in their back yards. So their front lawn may look quite smooth and silky, while in the rear there are weedy garden beds, heaps of rubbish, and perhaps decadent looking structures.. Those unsightly back yards are more easily visible than such folks think. As a rule they can be seen from the street. The neighbors in the adjoining lots can see them, and they make the spot look dingy and run down. The place that is kept clean and neat all around is one of which people can be proud, and one can be as happy there as in some scene of lavish luxury. The Picnic Season The time has come for "that jolly manifestation of American social instinct, the picnic. Our people find great satisfaction in preparing the sandwiches, coffee, doughnuts, etc., for such as feast, and hieing themselves to some spot of beauty. The housewives say that plain and ordinary food tastes like the nectar of the gods under such conditions. . The ladigs are happy because they have for the moment kicked ov§r the harness of kitchen drudgery. The shimmering sunlight of the weodlapd scene, the dancing wavelets of the lake, fill tKem with nature loving emotion, and they quote poetry by the yard. The men like it because they can show off their muscular stunts in. a ball game, or horseshoe pitching. Summer life in Ohio is. not quite complete without a program of pfcnfcs, Troubles of Migrants The government's Farm Security administration is urging farmers who have had hard luck not to mpve tp the West, unless they haVe positive assurance of permanent employment. It tells about the distresses which 850,000 people, mostly from Southwestern States, suffered when they migrate to California in the past five years. The old saying has it that the most distant pastures look the greenest. People hear about the high spots of life in distant places, but they do not usually know about the low spots. When they get to some distant destination, hundreds have probably been ahead of them. Dreadful droughts in' some localities have made farming seem almost impossible.. Probably in many cases after people left those places, the rains came and the farms once more smiled. Spelling Champions Tws SHjlign §chpol ehildren have been taking part in flfttfonal gpejling bee cgntgsts. Thg final"honor of the national ehampionshig was won by Laurel Kuykendall, a 14- years of age young lady from T§nn§§se§. . This national champion, and all who took high rank, have something to be proud of. They have not merely demonstrated possession of a marvellous memory, but they have shown-industry-in a time when many children are indifferent or indolent. All the youngsters who took part in this contest have made gains. The ability to spell well shows an interest in study and books and reading that will help them make good. Business people like the youngsters who have the grit to study and persevere..- A. A. Hummel of 129 5th street, North Canton, was severely injured before noon Wednesday when the car he was driving- crashed into a tree in front of the M. W. Eeiter home on North Main street, overturned and burst into flames. With him at the time of the accident was his brother C. A. Hummel of Be'rlin, here on a visit. According to C. A. Hummel, who escaped without injury, his brother fainted while driving and before he could grab the wheel and attempt to control the car, it had crashed into the tree and overturned. A. A. Hummel sustained a deep scalp laceration, possible skull fracture, and second degree bums of the head and face. Hospital attendants described his condition as fair after examination. Passersby rushed to the overturned car and succeeded in extinguishing the flames with a connected hose lying in the Eeiter yard. Meanwhile several others, after a vain effort to open a door, managed to right the car and extricate both men. Mr. Hummell, who has been ill for quite some time, had driven up town to get meat and was on the way home when the fainting spell overtook him. The North Canton fire department was summoned to the scene but the flames had already been extinguished when they arrived. Mr. Hummel was placed on the lawn of the Reiter home where he was given what aid possible until the arrival of the Lewis ambulance which removed him to Mercy hospital. o Stroke Leads St. Paul's Graduates 15 Church Exercises' Held in Sunday Evening Graduation exercises for 15 members of the eighth grade at St. Paul's were held in the church on Sunday evening, June 9.

'-Who would have, dreamed, in this age of light, when the Christian religion has preached love, when philosophers have pointed out thg wickedness of war, that such things could happen? America does not-propose to be drawn into this war, but the voices of these poor suffering folks cry out for help, and their hungry stomachs ask for food. America helped generously in the previous war, and will do so again. "Those who -call themselves liberals, who believe in an increase in anybody's pow8r, whether that person be in industry or government, are taking a great and valuable word in vain. Far from being liberal, the ^persons who try to solve their problems by concentrating power in the- hands of a single individual, or in the hands of a group around a single individual, in Washington, in Wall Street, or anywhere else, are really reactionaries."—Wendell L.

No Longer Isolationists Says Kerst Canton Minister Outlines Problems Faeed By This Nation; Aid to Allies Essential Emphasing the fact that we can no longer be isolationists, Eev. H. N. Kerst of Canton spoke to members of the North Canton Rotary club on "International Relations" at their meeting Thursday evening. Dr. Kerst traveled in 13 different countries last year and returned with an altogether different outlook "on international relations since his travel. "Our country has not realized the great danger she is facing," Dr. Kerst stated. "No nation can live alone on its own resources. Today we are face to face with national defense problems. Our need now is to turn over to the allies all the war material we possibly can because they are fighting our war, the war for democracy. More people are realizing this everyday." Dr. Kerst advocated this. upon arrival in this country last fall. More time on his trip was spent in Germany than in the other countries. Everywhere he saw military preparedness. The attitude of other countries Rs >,;>., found it was: '-'Wft'rfcVgoiJ&g :t$.liave a v*ar, and it may come soon" but they were not preparing as was Germany. In Germany Dr. Kerst found even tourists afraid to speak— everyone had the feeling of fear. He revealed that several of his The North Canton school grounds will take on a festive appearance' on Friday and Saturday evenings, June 14 and 15, when the annual band festival, featuring the music of nine bands, will be held under • the sponsorship of the School Band association. The committee in charge, of which Earl Hall, president o± the association, is general chairman, has worked unceasingly to make this the biggest, and best ever held. Nine bands, including the North Canton organization, will play on the two nights. Friday evening will bring tne followers of the Greentown, Coventry, Hartsville, and Uniontown groups to North Canton while on Saturday evening, Canal Fultop, Jackson, Louisville and Middlebranch are scheduled to perform. North Canton will play on both nights. Events Start at 7 p. m. Although the festivities are not scheduiea to start until 7 p. m., the committee has announced that for those who wish to come early and "get into the swing of things" supper, consisting of chicken and biscuit will be served. Last year, the noodle soup stand was well patronized as housewives gave up their cooking duties for an evening. There will be something doing at all times with booths of various kinds being operated by cooperating organizations. Kiddies snould especially like the pony ride and fish pond while adults will find foul shooting, darts, and, other forms of amusements more in their line. There will also be refresh*. • ment stands where patrons can, .get pop, ice cream, "etc. All arangements of the musical portion of the program were made by F. E. Hammond, director of-the North Canton Band, who contacted the directors of .schools in this arear^viti^g^ienx-'lo. at lend. i ~'A -Pr&WediT"will*" Iks' usM- to defray expenses of the band as many new uniforms and instruments are required since the band is growing ' by leaps and bounds since its inception two years ago.

Rites Held For George Shoemaker Monday A long illness proved fatal for George Shoemaker, 73, who died Friday morning in the home one mile northeast of North Canton. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Ada Shoemaker; one son, Clifford of the home; one sister, Mrs. David Booth, and one brother, Eev. S. S. Shoemaker, both of Hartville; and five grandchildren. Funeral rites were conducted Monday at 2:30 p. m. in the home with Eev. M. E. Beck, pastor of Zion Eeformed church, officiating. Interment was made in North Canton cemetery by the Lewis parlors. _o Beck Honored Gets Share of Prize at Heidelberg College Eobert F. Beck, North Canton, was awarded a share of the annual Kefauver Memorial prize at Heidelberg college at the final chapel period of the current academic season, held Saturday mornftig. The prize is awarded each year to the member of the junior class having received the highest grades during.the year. Beck tied with Warren -T. Hilfiker, Eochester, N. Y., both having received straight "A" grades. Beck is the. son of Eev. and Mrs. M. E. Beck. He is taking a pre- seminary course at Heidelberg. camps for speaking too much. In France at the time war was declared . he found what general mobilization means. Everything on the ground, in the air, on the water, is under government control^ Even if you own an automobile, it is no longer yours, but at the disposal of the government. In Italy he found that the people as a whole hated Hitler and the Germans but Mussolini is slowly biding his time trying to work his people into a freny so they can get into the fray and get a slice of the spoils. As a final plea, Kerst said, "Rotary cannot help the situation much because in Germany, Italy and Eussia, Eotary has been banned by government order. The only solution lies in the United States coming to the rescue of the Allies and aiding them in every way possible to win this war." In the business sesion which preceded the talk it was announced that the club will sponsor a booth at the band festival and that the picnic would be held Thursday, June 20 at Witwer park. A basket supper at 6:30 will be served for all Rotarians and their families. Canton Rotarians who attended the meeting included Karl Goose- man, W. G. Young and E. D. Barr. o— Diseuss Legion Festival Plans Annual Event To Be Held June 29 North Canton American Legion post has announced their annual festival will be held this year on Saturday evening, June 29, at the athletic field on Harmon street.

Kerst of Canton spoke to members of the North Canton Rotary club on "International Relations" at their meeting Thursday evening. Dr. Kerst traveled in 13 different countries last year and returned with an altogether different outlook "on international relations since his travel. "Our country has not realized the great danger she is facing," Dr. Kerst stated. "No nation can live alone on its own resources. Today we are face to face with national defense problems. Our need now is to turn over to the allies all the war material we possibly can because they are fighting our war, the war for democracy. More people are realizing this everyday." Dr. Kerst advocated this. upon arrival in this country last fall. More time on his trip was spent in Germany than in the other countries. Everywhere he saw military preparedness. The attitude of other countries Rs >,;>., found it was: '-'Wft'rfcVgoiJ&g :t$.liave a v*ar, and it may come soon" but they were not preparing as was Germany. In Germany Dr. Kerst found even tourists afraid to speak— everyone had the feeling of fear. He revealed that several of his The North Canton school grounds will take on a festive appearance' on Friday and Saturday evenings, June 14 and 15, when the annual band festival, featuring the music of nine bands, will be held under • the sponsorship of the School Band association.

Y., both having received straight "A" grades. Beck is the. son of Eev. and Mrs. M. E. Beck. He is taking a pre- seminary course at Heidelberg. camps for speaking too much. In France at the time war was declared . he found what general mobilization means. Everything on the ground, in the air, on the water, is under government control^ Even if you own an automobile, it is no longer yours, but at the disposal of the government. In Italy he found that the people as a whole hated Hitler and the Germans but Mussolini is slowly biding his time trying to work his people into a freny so they can get into the fray and get a slice of the spoils. As a final plea, Kerst said, "Rotary cannot help the situation much because in Germany, Italy and Eussia, Eotary has been banned by government order. The only solution lies in the United States coming to the rescue of the Allies and aiding them in every way possible to win this war." In the business sesion which preceded the talk it was announced that the club will sponsor a booth at the band festival and that the picnic would be held Thursday, June 20 at Witwer park.
