Five Thousand Attend Day of Festivities; Games, Coni- tests, and Water Carnival" on Program ,,- '-" Our people should obtain cheer and courage from a contemplation of the occasion which we celebrate on July Fourth. The world is said to be in a terrible state now, but it is no worse than the state of the world back in 1776 when our country declared independence. In those days our country was not a nation at all. It was weak and seemingly helpless. The idea that it could be a power in the world was laughed at across the seas. If the patriot fathers had considered only their very poor resources, the lack of any organized army, and the might of the British power which they would have to oppose, they might never have struck out for their own independence. Almost any impartial observer, looking at their situation from the outside, would have said they could not overcome the obstacles in the way and establish themselves as a free country. - Their lack of wealth, the feeble state of their industries, would seem adequate reason why they could not win a war. Then the lack of any strong tie of union between the various colonies would seem to miake any such move impossible. Disregarding such considerations, the patriot fathers met in solemn assembly, and declared themselves independent. They trusted in the justice of their cause, in the willingness of the people to toil and struggle and suffer. The outcome proves that a bold and resolute stand is stronger than it looks from the outside. The patriot fathers won their war because they threw themselves into that cause with their whole hearts, and were, willing to risk death if necessary to establish their country* They set an example to any doubters now among us,~ who fear the ability of the United States to take care of itself., Let us hope that this year's July Fourth gives us courage for whatever of trial lies before us. The Presidential Conventions With the thought of the American people concentrated on the startling war news from Europe, two great historic events at home are not getting the attention they should. We have now come to the time when the two leading political parties of the United States hold their national conventions. > History is formed and shaped at those meetings. They may have more influence in determining the future of that country than any action that can be taken elsewhere. These two great mteetings draw together the men who lead political-thought, who make the laws, and whose opinions sway the mass of voters. The things that are said and 'done at these meetings "show the direction which American thought and action will take place for four years more, and perhaps for Many more years than that. • It has always been regrettable that these meetings take place under circumstances not calculated to produce calm deliberation. The gallaries of the convention hall are usually filled with shouting enthusiasts, eager to boom the cause of their favorite candidates. The'work of the convention is often stopped while the rooters for the various aspirants stage great demonstrations of (enthusiasm. In the past these meetings have at times seemed^like a college football crowd, trying to induce their heroes to rush the ball over the goal line. Probably the rooters in the gallery and on the floor are not so influential in shaping these decisions as has been thought. A few leaders gathered in the "smoke-filled room," as-somebody said, are often the real power by which these fates are decided. The American people hope and pray that calm judgment and practical common sense will always rule at these gatherings of destiny.. direct Brong,' chairman. Earl. . o- and Edna Cline-Musgrave Wedding Sunday Open Chiurdh Service Scene of Nuptials Held June 23 In an open church ceremony, amid a setting of white lilies, orange blossoms and palms Miss Dorothy May Cline, daughter of Mrs. Vernie M.

She was attended by her sister, Mrs. Homer Young, who wore a lace and mousseline dress of Eleanor blue trimmed with pink. She carried a colonial bouquet of pink rose buds and blue larkspur. Paul Cline of Suffield, brother of the bride, gave her away and Rev. H. Dale Small of Canton served as-the best man. Ushers were Kenneth Grove of Alliance, head usher, Floyd Miller of Cleveland, and Addison Roberts of North Canton. Both the bride's mother and the bridegroom's mother wore navy chiffon dresses with white accessories. They also wore corsages of gardenias. A half hour organ recital by Mrs. Violet Pollock preceded the ceremony. Other music was furnished by Sterling Pollock who sang two numbers, "O Promise Me" and "Because". Following the wedding a reception was held in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Homer Young, 335 West Park blvd. for the bridal party and the immediate families. Twenty- six guests were present. A buffet supper was served with decora tions in seasonable flowers. Mr. and Mrs. Musgrave left shortly after for Cleveland where they will make their . home;- Mr.J Musgrave is a medical student at Western Reserve university. They are residents of Cleveland but were formerly of .North Canton. o ■ TO SEE BALL GAME Cloudy skies and frequent showers had little effect on the-citizenry of North Canton as it moved en masse to Summit Beach park Saturday morning to participate in the annual Hoover Community picnic. Approximately 5,000 persons attended the affair which has long since become one of the high spots in the summer social life of the community.

The Le- gionaires have issued an invitation to all their friends and neighbors to attend their festival and assure them a good time. 0 — World's Fair Trip Planned For July 3 Community Building Sponsors Camping Tour for Local Boys to Visit Fair, New York City, Other Places Fire Levels Two Family Dwelling Home Near Avondale Destroyed When Kerosene Stove Explodes; Late Wednesday Afternoon An architect's drawing superimposed1 upon an actual photograph of Niagara gorge taken, from.

Abshire about one mile south of the Avon- dale allotments near Canton was completely destroyed by fire late Wednesday afternoon when a kerosene stove exploded in the Merrill kitchen. At the time of the explosion Mrs. Merrill was in a front room. She rushed to the kitchen to investigate but upon opening the door, was driven back by flames, which had gained rapid heaway from .the flaming oil. She escaped without injury though her hair and eye lashes were singed. Mrs. Merrill was at a loss to account for the explosion, stating that she had soup over a low flame and had gone into another room when the explosion occurred. The three Merrill children,, Barbara, 10, Buddy, 6, and David, 4, were outside at the time. Mrs. Merrill also sustained slight cuts on her hand when she broke a window in an effort to retrieve her rings and purse but here again she was driven back by the fire. Neighbors attracted to the scene managed to carry out most of the furniture in the Abshire portion of the home. All furnishings and clothes belonging to the Merrill's were lost. No estimate was made of the loss, which is not covered by insurance according to Mrs. Merrill. The families rented the frame structure from John Weldy and Mrs. Mary Semline of East Sparta. The North Canton fire department was summoned to the scene but by the time they arrived flames had enveloped the entire home. They instead played water on the nearby Lincoln home.

The Germans have, long sought to control the trade of

Germany may attempt to set up puppet governments in

probably want to become tails to any Nazi kite, and our government will have to help them resist such attempts.
