NORTH'CANTON, STARK COUNTY,- OHIO, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 1931. .00 PER. YEAR. NORTH CANTON BANK SAFE-GUARDS LIVES Has Just Installed a Ventilator In Its Vault—Fresh Air, Food, Water and Conversation Can Be Carried Through Tube To - Persons Locked In Cavern. DEFENSE AGAINST HOLDUP .The North Canton Bank has just -installed a notable Apiece of vault equipment, a modern invention which will be recognized as a most important safe-guard for the lives of customers and employes. Many persons have an idea of the unpleasant sensation of being locked up and helpless to get out. Add-to the sensation a realization that the air supply is small, and that no more can, be obtained—and the sensation becomes a horror. Thought upon this will afford a , realization of the problem that bank vault builders have worried over for years. Bank vaults, have to be air- - tight, to present any effective resistance to buiglars; and they generally are equipped with time-locks which 'mean that once closed, they must stay closed until the allotted moment for opening. . Locked In Vault It is no uncommon thing for someone to be locked in a vault accidentally. Also it is a common practice Of hold-up gangs to drive bank officers and employes, also customers who Told Without Varnish When Dr. Piei'ee, Mentioned Albert J. Beveridge. By BEN LONG BEFORE the'Rotary club of North Canton on Thursday night Dr; Martin L, Pierce of this town paid several compliments to a distinguished son of Indiana, Former Senator Albert J. Beveridge, who was slaughto ered by a corrdpt political, machine be- cause he refused to take orders from the bosses or have anything to do with them. As Dr. Pierce .pointed out, while the action of the political bosses lost a distinguished United States Senator to Indiana and to the nation; it gave to America and the world at. large a great interpreter of Abraham Lin-' coin. . '. ;--." Although a statesman, Beveridge was a remaikable" man not only because of his excellence but also, because of his versatility. No one passed him in the popularity of his platform appeal, not even. Bryan. When Beveridge spoke men listened. •-.■■'-.: DR. MARTIN L. PIERCE TALKS TO ROTARIANS Asserts That Washington In His Public and Private Life Practiced the ; Spirit of Rotary, "Service Above Self—He Pro- v fits Most. Who'Serves Best." LIVED UP TO HIS IDEALS t t may be in the bank, into the vault.-Justice, John Marshall, as a book is and there lock them up. Thus may be appreciated the worry which has troubled bank officials, and . the problem which has, up to this time, "stumped" vault builders. ' But it is now solved by the Vault Ventilator, manufactured-.'by'the 0. Ba McCIintock" company of Minneapolis, which is. the improvement the, North Canton Bank, with most "commendable progressivehess, has just installed...'. Ordinarily this equipment presents, on the outside of the vault the stem and uncompiomising face of the polished end of a cylinder of hardened, heat-resisting steel, so that the burglar at once lecogmzes it as the poorest possible place to attempt an attack upon the vault Plenty of Fresh Air But if, anyone within the vault finds the neea of ventilation, he, or she, can unlock the steel coie of the cylinder and withdraw it; and then sjide into its place a ventilating shaft equipped with a high-speed electric fan. The result is ample air supply for any number of people that may be crowded into tbe vault, fresh air being drawn in while foul air is forced out Another'feature of the tube is that persons locked in the vault may receive food and water and carry on a conversation with those on the outside of the vault. By these methods anyone locked up may remain in comparative comfort until released. The North Canton Bank is certainly to be commended for thus safeguarding the lives of customers and employes. The vault of this bank will now have the aspect of a comfortable refdge Instead of a possible h orror-chamber. For Safety Box Patrons * An additional room has been built iust back of the bank rail to the right for the convenience of safety box patrons. In this alcove are chairs, tables, and electric lights. After removing contents from the safety deposit box in the'large \ault, .the patron walks a few feet and then enjoys seclusion in this THERE Is a saying to the effect that "those whom God loves politically die young politically," and the following wh,ich Beveiidge had commanded with his voice he set out "to com- mhnd with his pen. And wtiat, Albert J. Beveridge set out to do, he did. - His estimate of the eminent Chief a literaiy oasis. All the nice things Dr. Pierce said about that work "are well deserved, and the Life is studied by lawyers and Judges in many countries, certainly by all Jurists in the United States. ..";•' ■'.';.".* ' *-; t ' -''•'V THEN he wrote his Lincoln. > This is .also.airoasis.

He said: j, Dr^Pieree's Address 7, The spirit of Rotary has been tauglit to the /-nations' of the civilized world •* through its. slogan,: "Service Above Self—He .Profits. Most "Who Serves Best." If I^understand- aright, mqn are not'made Rotarians 'by joining a Rotary club but they are asked to join Rotary clubs because they are already Rotarians-^because" they have proved this by their conduct. Is it not' fitting then that Rotary should from time tb time check ilp its own activities, its own ideals, with the lives of those who have gone before, who have most definitely exemplified the spirit and- ideals of Rotary in their private life, in their social relations"! and in their conduct towards their country?

By ROBERT DICE - To those of us who had a share in the Young People's Conference at Massillon the-memory of that day of thinking and planning together is indeed sacred. We woilld like to express our appreciation to those who dreamed of a meeting of the youth-of Stark county, ■and who brought that dream-to fulfillment. We are grateful also to all the adult leaders whose fine spirit of understanding was so encouraging. It is hard to describe the eagerness with which we approached our task or the earnestness with which we discussed our problems. We are anxious that all the conclusions reached be regarded as steps toward comprehensive statements and programs rather than as final utterances themselves. Why If Was a Success Simply to say that the Stark County Ydpedio Conference; "went over" would be to show an Frank G. Hoover, vice-president of The Hoover company, will be one of the speakers in the Community Building- on Tuesday, March 10, when the value of safety is to be placed before the people at what promises tb be one of 'the largest rallies ever held in North Canton. The Hoover Concert Orchestra, I. F. Bfatten, leader, will begin-; tor play- at 7:15. Boy Scouts witt'dcrWushers and also hand out! literature and safety buttons to the people as they enter tlie auditorium. The Program The program is scheduled to last one hour and thirty minutes, and is as follows;, ■'■..;. ' Hoover Concert- Orchestra. Group singing, Harold Schiltz, leader. -7 Short talk by F. G.

By ROBERT DICE - To those of us who had a share in the Young People's Conference at Massillon the-memory of that day of thinking and planning together is indeed sacred. We woilld like to express our appreciation to those who dreamed of a meeting of the youth-of Stark county, ■and who brought that dream-to fulfillment. We are grateful also to all the adult leaders whose fine spirit of understanding was so encouraging. It is hard to describe the eagerness with which we approached our task or the earnestness with which we discussed our problems. We are anxious that all the conclusions reached be regarded as steps toward comprehensive statements and programs rather than as final utterances themselves. Why If Was a Success Simply to say that the Stark County Ydpedio Conference; "went over" would be to show an Frank G. Hoover, vice-president of The Hoover company, will be one of the speakers in the Community Building- on Tuesday, March 10, when the value of safety is to be placed before the people at what promises tb be one of 'the largest rallies ever held in North Canton. The Hoover Concert Orchestra, I. F. Bfatten, leader, will begin-; tor play- at 7:15. Boy Scouts witt'dcrWushers and also hand out! literature and safety buttons to the people as they enter tlie auditorium. The Program The program is scheduled to last one hour and thirty minutes, and is as follows;, ■'■..;. ' Hoover Concert- Orchestra. Group singing, Harold Schiltz, leader. -7 Short talk by F. G. Hoover. North Canton High School Boys' Glee club. Talk on Safety by H. P. Heyne, safety engineer, in the employ of The , Industrial Commission of Ohio. N. C. High School Girls' Glee club.'

Everything is free, and a capacity house is expected by those sponsoring the movement. , ' JACKSON TOWNSHIP BOOSTS FOR P.-T. A.

The programs have- all been goodr but this next one is special. Jackson township P.-T. A. committee on membership have an ambition to have the largest association in the county, and from an attendance at a recent meeting of 750 persons it would seem that inaccurate their goal can be reached.

BILL STARK LEAVES meeting it effectively: Problems Studied The issues faced were youths own problems studied under the conference theme, "Adventures of ■ Christian Youth." In the interpretation of this quest the Stark County Young People's Council was concerned chiefly with the thought of creating the most efficient view-point and understanding insight to the problem and problems arising from the conference theme and and so out of their "discussions after studying the report and recommendations of the Christian Youth Council of N. A. which rnet at Toronto on June 23-29, 1930,- there evolved six commissipns to be discussed by the youth of Stark county and which are as follows, first in name, and then as a sjiort synopsis: ;I—Jesus Christ: We are interested in a religion which will command our whole-hearted allegiance.
