The men of 1861 are few in number in North Canton and thy are too old for a long hike, but they will be in the column in automobiles when it marches to St. Paul's cemetery. Latei they will be seen heading toward Zion and Warstler cemeteries for the same purpose they went to St. Paul's—to bestow tribute to tlie memory of those who fought for Country and for Right.

Serve her in peace or serve her in war, and serve her well in either. Do not forget us." We will not forget. And we will bring the flowers and the flags that have so long been the most beautiful features of the observance. These sentiments we experience and cherish annually, and as several men sleep in cemeteries in The Sun's.territory who fought in the war of 1812 we broaden ancl deepen the commemoration of American valor by including and emphasizing the heroism of those who battled to retain the rights gained by their fathers in 1776. We do public honor to the memory of the fathers as well as to that of the preservers of this republic, and pay that homage with more than usual fervor. We consecrate anew our sense of the wholeness of our national life ancl mission, and of the inseparable comradeship of the men of 1776, 1812, 1861, 1898 and 1917. Memorial day becomes perennial in our minds, irrespective of the date of its actual origin after the Civil War, just as America's life and destiny assume the august guise .of a.preqrdained feature of the immortal life df the universe. memoriaTFrqgram Parade Will Start On Public Square Promptly At 8:30. The arrangements for the Memorial day services were completed at the regular meeting of the American Legion, on Monday evening. The order of the services will be practically the same as in past years, the parade starting at 8:30 o'clock on Monday morning, May 30.

FUNERAL*ON FRIDAY Henry Herdinger Will Be Buried In St. Paul's Cemetery. ADVICE AND DIPLOMA FOR EACH GRADUATE Henry Herdinger, 68 years old, South Main street, North Canton, died in his home yesterday (Tuesday) morning from a complication of dis-< eases after an illness of four weeks. Funeral services will be in St. Paul's church on Friday morning at 9:00 o'clock, the Rev. Father Kotheimer officiating. Burial will be in St. Paul's cemetery, Lee T. Lewis assisting. Mr. Herdinger is survived by two sisters, Clara and Annje, and one brother, John, all of the" home. He was a member of the Holy Name Society of St. Paul's church and in his quiet way did many good deeds of which the public never heard. He was born in North Canton on June 13, 1859, ancl resided here all his life. He was ■ never married. Henry Herdinger was an honest man, ancl The Sun will cite one incident merely as an example of his upright character. A young lady lost her pocketbook containing nearly $10. Mr. Herdinger found it and he came to this office to advertise his find in the People's Column. The lady recovered her purse ancl money. When something was said about a reward his reply was characteristic, "Why should any one ask pay for returning that which does not belong to them." That would make a good epitaph on his tombstone, but he would not approve of it. He was too modest for that. May the sod rest lightly o'er the head of <Henry Herdinger, honest man. Mrs. Young's Mother Mrs. Dora B. Batdorff, aged 58 years, died suddenly while seated in a chair in her home, 625 Correll avenue, NE., Canton. A few minutes before her death she was conversing with her husband and she seemed in excellent spirits. So quietly did she pass away that>Mr. Batdorff did not realize at flrst that his wife was dead. She was buried on Monday afternoon from the home, interment being in North Lawn cemetery. Surviving her are her husband, Watson Batdorff, and her daughter, Mrs. Ralph Young, wife of the North Canton manager of The Citizens' Building ancl Loan company 7- Attending Funeral Oliver Marchand ancl Frank Dick are in Massillon this Wednesday attending the funeral of Mr. Elsch, a relative.

LIVES LOST IN MAKING IT Thirteen Good-Looking Girls Belonging To North Canton High School Hear Dr. MteMasters Explain the Way To Be Happy TWO EXCELLENT ORATIONS L The curtain was lowered on public school activities in North Canton on Thursday night-when the graduates of 1927 received diplomas from the hands of the President of the Board of Education, A. A. Swope, who reminded them that the school had directed their steps along safe lines from tlie day they entered the primary class until now when, having passed through the different grades, they were departing as graduates of the senior class. Graduates Looked Nice Attired in white pleated skirts ancl white blouses, ancl wearing lilacs, the thirteen girls who had finished their education in North Canton's school presented a pretty picture on the plat- form while they sat and listened to. the excellent advice orally handed to them and a crowded auditorium by | Dr. W. H. McMasters, president of Mt. Union college, Alliance. Superintendent T. G. Denton went through the formality of presenting Dr. McMasters, with the opening statement that "Dr. McMasters does not need an introduction to North Canton as he is well known to all of us." Luella M. Ginther ancl Marjorie E. Manchester delivered orations in excellent manner, and both girls were warmly applauded. Luella discussed "The Value of Education," and her facts were orderly in arrangement and most convincing. Marjorie's oration dealt with "Tlie Science of Happiness" and she cleverly presented a number of ideas it will be wise for any one to follow. Both orations gave the impression that the girls hacl devoted considerable time and care in preparing them. Discussed "Hobbies" In his address Dr. McMasters advised the graduates and the audience to find a "hobby," and then stick to it. Hobbies, he declared, were most excellent things to keep the mind from becoming morose1 and they were death to ennui (boredom). He cited a number of instances to prove that by R., In the Community Building on Friday night, May 27, under the auspices of the American Legion of North Canton, will be shown a big World War picture which took eight vears in the making. Here is the official announcement from the pen of E. O. Marquette, director of The American Legion Film Service: As an authentic historical document it is a masterpiece, for it not only portrays America's^ part in the great conflict, but that of* the Allies and Germany as well. It is a never-to-be- forgotten picture which every man, woman and child should see. Lives Lost In "Shooting" It The story of this picture's creation, the lives lost in "shooting" its scenes, the months of delving into the archives* of the governments of the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy, Russia ancl Germany to obtain official data and pictures, the years devoted to its careful preparation, and the official seals of the United States Navy and Army Departments stamped on the film (the first time in the history of motion pictures that those great seals have appeared on films) all these unusual elements in this picture's preparation make it what it is—"the first big* historical motion picture of the World War." War In AH Its Phases Its action covers the greatest drama in the history of the world over a period of four years. Therein lies the remarkable feature of this unusual picture; it has successfully brought to the screen in comprehensive and graphic form, the most gigantic war in the history of the world. This has been done by careful compilation of scenes that are revealing, impressive and authentic. War in all its phases is seen in this film. There are no picked scenes. The lumbering tanks, the murderous machine guns sweeping No-Man's Land, the poisonous gas, the smoke screens, the depth bombs, sinking of ships by submarines, the flare of star- shells, the recoil of gigantic guns gouging the earth in angry protest, the wire entanglements, the falling planes, the falling men—all the elements of war are seen in this great picture. "The title of the picture, 'The World War,' is no misnomer," on critic saicl. "It is just that.. When you have seen it you will know." An International news reel will be shown, as well as the above picture, on Friday evening. hobbies keep people active and ready to meet the heavy undertakings on the morrow, ancl advanced the opinion that the students in various parts of the country who had committed suicide hacl not spent any time on hobbies. His speech was thoroughly enjoyed, and he seemed to enjoy delivering it. Faithful Pupils Mr. Bixler, principal of the high school, read a list of names of pupils whose faithfulness to their school and studies had won the admiration of the superintendent and teachers. The names follow: Senior honor roll for the four years: Luella Ginther and Marguerite Yarger. Seniors whose grades for their high school work averaged 90% or more: Marguerite Yargei-, Opal Smith, Mildred Myers, Marjorie Manchester, Evelyn Immel.

The list of graduates was published in this newspaper last week.] FARM WOMAN'S CLUB THE BLAZER JACKET Many Graduates Wearing Them Ih and Around North Canton. Several good-looking graduates of the North Canton high school, class of 1927, danced into the postoffice this week and each girl iiad on a bright striped blazer jacket. "They are all the rage for the smart college girl," saicl one of the graduates to this writer for The Sun, "so why shouldn't we adopt the style?" *- "* Naturally "we*-' ' agreed with the fair girl, as did Postmaster W. J. Evans, who overheard the conversation. Additional information was to the effect that the college girl influences the style of the nation. "If the college girl is wearing the blazer, depend upon every business girl and young housewife following her lead," saicl the N. C. graduate. From the same source it was learned that in some colleges the girls are wearing three corner handkerchief scarfs with their blazer jackets. These scarfs increase the debonair aspect of the blazer outfit. Nothing is quite as popular as the blazer. Made of flannel, it offers a "certain warmth on chilly days without being heavy and it fits in with nearly every out-of-door activity as far as the young girl is concerned. WILLMLMEWER Property Owners On Witwer Give Contract To Rudy DeParis. CIYIL WAR VETERANS GREET OLD COMRADE Members of McKinley Post In Canton Surprise Aaron Warstler In His Home On the Anniversary of His 83rd Birthday. RELIEF CORPS PRESENT As announced in The Sun last week, Council voted the property owners on Witwer street, from Taft to Pershing, the right to build a sanitary sewer, provided they paid all the expense and turned it- over to the town after it was completed. This offer was accepted by the residents of that neighborhood, and they asked Contractor Rudy DeParis to submit an estimate. This lie did, and he was awarded the contract. Rudy told this writer for The Sun that he will put a force of men to work on Witwer street next week and that he will rush the work to completion in record time. Engineer Roscoe Rice will look after the interests of the property owners ancl the town while the work is going on. This, it may be added, is the law that all work of such a character must be done under the supervision of the civil engineer employed by the village, regardless of who the contractor happens to be. THE WOMAN'S CLUB Members Are Requested To Attend Meeting On June 6. Menibers of The Woman's Club of North Canton are asked to note that the next meeting will be on Monday, June 6. LIKES SUN-READERS Mr. Altman Says Our Women Are Excellent Judges of Goods. Mr. Altman of the Altman store of Canton, said to a representative of The Sun when asked about the appreciation of the public, from this district, for good merchandise: "Your readers are keen and alert and entirely up to date in their desires, ancl in their ability to choose wraps, gowns ancl millinery of latest fashion ancl good quality. A retailer must understand merchandising these days; he can not be 'just a store keeper.' "We turn our goeds every two weeks, and that is why you can 'always find something new' in our displays. We have the choosing of the best from the greatest fashimi markets, and our keenest satisfaction comes from giving our personal thought and care to! . Aaron Warstler of South Main street, North Canton, was 83 years of age on Saturday, May 21, 1927, and it is safe to say he celebrated the event in a manner few men have the privilege of enjoying. To start with let it be recorded that Aaron did not know that his son's wife, Mrs. Arthur Warstler, had plan ned to give him a "little surprise," and she called to her assistance in the plot the president of the Woman's Relief Corps in Canton, Mrs. Hoffman, and Commander Holman of McKinley Post 25, G. A. R., Canton, of which Aaron Warstler is an honored member. Old Vets In Line It was expected that owing to their age a corporal's guard would be all that would respond to the invitation, but the "Boys who wore the Blue" are made of sterner stuff than most men, so when the bugle was sounded Com mander Holman told his troopers that he was going to advance on North Canton, and he called for volunteers to follow him in the charge. Every man stepped forward! It was like the old clays when the officers would shout, "There's the Johnnies! Come on, let's get 'em!" Ancl so on Saturday afternoon at 2:30 fourty-four membei*s of McKinley Post and the Relief Corps got into automobiles and started for the home of a man they love, Aaron Warstler. Then it was that Mrs. Arthur Warstler got the real surprise of her life. She was not expecting such a crowd, but with a woman's quick wit she sent for assistance and Mrs. E. E. Clouser and Mrs. Nettie Kreighbaum responded. After their arrival everything moved as smoothly and swiftly as water down hill. Patriotic Decorations The decorations were appropriate to the occasion, ancl the eyes of the ladies ancl the old "Boys in Blue" glis- -tened when,, they saw them. In the dining room was a large American flag, and the decorations were red, white ancl blue. Little flags fluttered everywhere, and two large birthday cakes had red, white and blue frosting. The bouquets also contained the colors the men in the dark clays of the Civil War defended so gallantly and successfully. The favors were American flags. Mrs. Lambright told Aaron of the decorations and explained them fully to him. A Fine Program A splendid program under the supervision of the1 Betsy Ross quartet of Canton was given and they sang in fine style. To the tune of "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys Are Marching," played on the phonograph, ancl headed by Mrs. Hoffman, the guests marched to the dining room. After a prayer and an enjoyable meal, the vets and their wives and daughters sang songs and contented themselves telling stories of the days in the sixties. Fruit and a Pillow Commander Holman, on behalf of the Post ancl the Corps, presented Comrade Warstler with a large basket of choice fruit, and also a beautiful pillow. Brave man that he is, Commander Holman broke down during his presentation speech, and there were many other eyes with tears in them during his recital of why the members of McKinley Post love their North Canton comrade. Experiences and recollections of the old clays wei*e narrated amid smiles and tears, several of the men break AMERICAN LEGION Members Enjoy Themselves In New Rabel Dairy, East Maple. Through the courtesy of A. Rabel the meeting of the American Legion was held on Monday evening in the new Rabel Dairy, on the East Maple street road. In numbers of attendance and enthusiasm it was a record- breaker, surpassing any meeting held by the local post for a considerable period. It was fortunate that Herbruck's "Fast Steppers" hacl made lavish arrangements to entertain a large number, as an exceptionally large crowd turned out expecting a good time and a good feed, and got both. Memorial Day Plans Memorial day plans were completed at this meeting, and committees appointed to secure the flowers for decorating the graves in the various cemeteries, F. Young ancl E. M. Hershey were present, representing the G. A. R., and took ancl active part in the meeting. Tickets for the Legion movie, "Tlie World War," were distributed among* the members for sale to the public and it is expected the film will draw a capacity house. After the meeting the balance of the evening was spent playing cards and enjoying the music and singing furnished by Elmer Lighthizer's popular quartet. The feed of barbecued ham sandwiches, baked beans ancl devilled eggs, with cakes and coffee, and all the milk ancl buttermilk anybody wished to drink, was enough to satisfy the most exacting, ancl it was midnight before the last of the crowd departed. All will agree that although the committee may not have been winners in the membership campaign, they would be hard to beat as an entertainment committee.

The excellent supporting ais"; includes George Siegmann, Tom Riclc- etts, Tom O'Brien and Dorothy Revier. Starting a Serial Beginning Tuesday night the Community Building will start a serial, "The Silent Flyer," said to be one of the best installment pictures ever offered to the public. H is said to contain plenty of thrills, narrow escapes and all the frills that go with a serial. The performance will begin at 7:45 ancl the price of a ticket is 15c, 20c and 30c. On Friday night, May 27, the picture is "The World War," put on under the auspices of the American Legion post in North Canton. Seated in a cell in the North Canton police station this Wednesday morning is a lad 17 years of age who will be taken to Canton this afternoon and turned over to the Juvenile Court on the charge of taking an automobile belonging to the Berger Manufacturing company of Canton. He was picked up here on a charge of reckless driving. The boy's name is Ja-nes Pollock, 9<1!) East Huston street, Barberton, and according to the police he has confessed to stealing cars in Canton, Akron, Barberton and Cleveland unci then selling them. Police Seek His Friend It is alleged that Pollock has a friend, aged 19 years, named John Vargo, who boards with Pollock's parents. Vargo and Pollock stole a car, it is alleged, and- sold it to Pollock, senior, who thought it was the property of Vargo. Then the.father traded the car in when he bought a truck. He was greatly astonished to learn that he had been victimized by his own son and his boarder. The North Canton department got m touch with Barberton, but when two policemen went to the factory where Vargo works he jumped through a window and made his escape. This Wednesday morning the police of Alliance were on his trail, having re- cived a tip that the youth had been seen on Tuesday night in the vicinity of his mother's home. Police Forces Unite The police departments (and this includes North Canton) all over Ohio have joined forces to run down auto thieves, and it is going to be rough sledding for the fellows who grab a machine and make off with it. Asked, just before he left for Washington, D. C, for an expression concerning the sale of poppies in North Canton on Thursday, May 2G, Mayor- Logan W. Becher- dictated the following statement to this writer for The Sun: Mayor Becher's Statement The Poppy day spirit is a spirit of good will. Most of us know, I hope, how good it is and how it warms the heart to give our spirit of good will its annual expression. The • light of the star of promise- shone for a long time for our boys before we sent them to France and then the star became dim for many of them, and today they sleep beneath the poppies or they are inmates of- hospitals, sanatoriums or private homes—human wrecks, yet bravely struggling to do something to help their buddies or themselves. Cripples In Shell-Shocked Frames Lads who marched to the front when* the call came for defenders are today cripples in shell-shocked frames, but they have not lost their indomitable spirit neither are they thinking of surrendering to old Father Time before it is absolutely decreed that they must. Many of them make poppies, and these will be sold in North Canton by noble women who appreciate the great service the American boy or man performed for them ancl the world in 1917 ancl later. And we are asked to buy the little red flower so as to make life a little bit easier, if possible, for our defenders. Better To Be Generous The Sun very courteously offers me free space "for anything I may say in favor of Poppy clay." I thank the editors of our excellent North Canton newspaper, but I do not think.it is necessary to say much. It is surely better to be too generous than too niggardly, but I do not think that the stern words, "I must," will ever be spoken in connection with the buying of a poppy. No ono likes to be imposed upon, but on Thursday, May 20, I am sure that we are going to put something of our own selves into the coin we hand over for the litle red flower and that something is the Spirit of North Canton—the- heartfelt desire to do something that will put a little star of hope into the firmament of some other fellow's up- look. Poppy day should bring out the best in everybody. The spirit of giving* that rules the day is really service; and service is giving, as the World War men proved to us when they gave service that led many of them to the grave. I think this poppy sale will be the most successful of all sales. childrenVparty Mrs. W. W. Steele-Will Be Hostess To Youngsters On June 21.

Omer Barker in Foreign Service Red poppies are a sign to me Of things I never more may see; Of ships that plied to St. Nazaire To carry soldiers over there. Along the shore where poppies blow We used to watch them come and go. Of twilight strolls where lonesomeness Was softened by Yvonne's caress. Of endless days of sweating* drill Where poppies grew on every hill. In fields of wheat and hidden death Red poppies spread their soothing breath. Beside a shattered .church of stone A poppy dared to bloom alone. Alt! tears must come when memory's chance Recalls the hills and fields of France, Where poppies grow eternally And feed upon the heart of me.

TO HONOR THE DEAD
ON MONDAY MORNING
Members of G. A. R., Former
World War Men, Legion Auxiliary, Fraternal Organizations
and Children Will Parade.
ARTHUR KOLP, MARSHAL
North Canton ancl other sections of
Stark county served by The Sun are
going to observe Memorial clay on
Monday with dignity and solemnity,
thus testifying in an active manner
their gratitude and respect for the
patriotic dead.
The men of 1861 are few in number in North Canton and thy are too
old for a long hike, but they will be
in the column in automobiles when it
marches to St. Paul's cemetery. Latei
they will be seen heading toward Zion
and Warstler cemeteries for the same
purpose they went to St. Paul's—to
bestow tribute to tlie memory of those
who fought for Country and for
Right.
The .mellowing process of time has
its language for us ail, old, middle-
aged ancl young. And it says: "Be
brave. Carry on. Love youi* country.
Serve her in peace or serve her in
war, and serve her well in either. Do
not forget us."
We will not forget. And we will
bring the flowers and the flags that
have so long been the most beautiful
features of the observance.
These sentiments we experience and
cherish annually, and as several men
sleep in cemeteries in The Sun's.territory who fought in the war of 1812
we broaden ancl deepen the commemoration of American valor by including
and emphasizing the heroism of those
who battled to retain the rights gained
by their fathers in 1776.
We do public honor to the memory
of the fathers as well as to that of
the preservers of this republic, and
pay that homage with more than usual
fervor. We consecrate anew our sense
of the wholeness of our national life
ancl mission, and of the inseparable
comradeship of the men of 1776, 1812,
1861, 1898 and 1917. Memorial day
becomes perennial in our minds, irrespective of the date of its actual
origin after the Civil War, just as
America's life and destiny assume the
august guise .of a.preqrdained feature
of the immortal life df the universe.

FUNERAL*ON FRIDAY
Henry Herdinger Will Be Buried In

ADVICE AND DIPLOMA
FOR EACH GRADUATE
Henry Herdinger, 68 years old,
South Main street, North Canton, died
in his home yesterday (Tuesday)
morning from a complication of dis-<
eases after an illness of four weeks.
Funeral services will be in St. Paul's
church on Friday morning at 9:00
o'clock, the Rev. Father Kotheimer
officiating. Burial will be in St. Paul's
cemetery, Lee T. Lewis assisting.
Mr. Herdinger is survived by two
sisters, Clara and Annje, and one
brother, John, all of the" home.
He was a member of the Holy
Name Society of St. Paul's church
and in his quiet way did many good
deeds of which the public never heard.
He was born in North Canton on June
13, 1859, ancl resided here all his life.
He was ■ never married.
Henry Herdinger was an honest
man, ancl The Sun will cite one incident merely as an example of his upright character. A young lady lost
her pocketbook containing nearly $10.
Mr. Herdinger found it and he came to
this office to advertise his find in the
People's Column. The lady recovered
her purse ancl money. When something was said about a reward his
reply was characteristic, "Why should
any one ask pay for returning that
which does not belong to them."
That would make a good epitaph on
his tombstone, but he would not approve of it. He was too modest for
that. May the sod rest lightly o'er the
