ALL THE REAL NEWS AND SPECIAL FEATURES CAREFULLY, EDITED READ BY BRIGHT PEOPLE IT SHINES FOR ALL THE PEOPLE IN NORTHERN STARK COUNTY READ BY BRIGHT PEOPLE An Independent Newspaper That Plays No Favorites Among Advertisers or Subscribers, and With One Price To All VOL. 12—NO. 10. NORTH CANTON, STARK COUNTY, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 3, 1934. .00 PER YEAR FATHER OF W.H.I00D BECKONED BY DEATH Was Apparently In Good Health When He Expired Suddenly In His Home At Rock Island, 111.—Son Had Received a Letter a Few Hours Earlier From His Dad. HAS SYMPATHY OF TOWN Willis H. Wood, director of physical education in the Community Building, was called away suddenly on Friday by a notice of the death of his father at Rock Island, Illinois. Mr. Wood .had received a letter from his father the day before and the family had read it at the breakfast table that morning. In the letter his father had stated that he was feeling well, in fact belter than usual, so the news of his death, came as a s-hock to the Wood family. Has Sympathy of People Mr. Wood has the sympathy of the entire community. In the nearly nine years that the Woods have been in North Canton, "Woody" has become really a part of it. Most of the men and boys have been in his classes at some time or another, and they feel that not only his instruction has done them good physically, but that the subtle influence of the man himself has been of great value to them.

With the simplicity he employed when superintendent of schools, C. P. McFadden addressed the Rotarv club of North Canton on the subject of "Internationalism—Our Saving Grace" on Thursday evening. His speech proved that he is more than a mere "spouter of words;" that he is a philosophical student of life. Quietly lie studied his subject, and then traced, step by step, the development of "internationalism" from the early foundation of the world to the present day. In this the ripened fruits of his knowledge of the case, rather than in any gift of oratory, is found the secret of his success in so many causes. "Internationalism — Our Saving Grace," was the title he gave to his address. He said while most nations trace their origin to. savage and barbarous men, our nation was founded by civilized and Christianized men. Mr. McFadden recited the history of the coming of foreign immigrants to our shores and the influence they have had on our civilization and government. Many other countries nave their Revolutions; we have had an Evolution. In his opinion this is largely due to the cosmopolitan character of «ur people. His creed for harmonious living "with friends and neighbors, for pleasant relations between merchants and customers and finally for proper conduct between nations is summed up in the following poem: If you would make your calling true Four things you must observe to do: To think without confusion, clearly, To love your fellowman, sincerely, To act from honest motives, purely, To trust in heaven and God, securely. P. T. SCHOOL BOARD Reorganized Last Night and Names Officers For Year. The Plain Township School Board held a meeting last night and re-organized for the coming year. M. B. Homer was re-elected president of the board. H. W. Benedict was elected vice-president, and A. J. Willaman was re-elected clerk-treasurer. The resignation of C. W-. Fredrick who was elected to the office of Plain Township Trustee, was received. Tins vacancy was filled by the appointment of T. J. Black of Edgefield. Another new member is Homer Schmucker of the Pleasant View district. The other member who was re- clcted to the Board at the November election was William J. Bah- of Mid- dlebranch. F. E. Mohler retires from the Board. The regular meetings of the Board will he held the second Wednesday of each month at 7:30 p. m. at the Edgefield school. WOMAN SUGGESTS A TOPIC-IMPATIENCE And Then After a Little Coaxing She Agrees To Air Her Views. They Are Well Worth Read- and In the Opinion of The Sun and Following In 1934. AVOID A NASTY TEMPER Someone said once that the greatest sin of all the ages, is not one of commission, but just simply not to grow. It's a law of nature, as unalterable as the laws of the Medes and. Persians that the tree or any living thing that reaches maturity and ceases to grow, doesn't stand still, but immediately to some degree, however slight, begins to decay, and go backwards. The beginning of a new year is a good time to ponder this once again. What are your interests? Are they indoor? Or does the great outdoors appeal to you ? Would you like to have company in the things you like to do ? Registration Period The Community Building is setting aside the time from January 2nd to Jan. 15, as registration period, when young men and senior members may register for membership in a club or class which appeals to their interests. Among the outdoor interests are hunting, fishing, canoeing, camping, hiking and nature study. .Indoor subjects include: debating, parliamentary drill, civics and polities, economics, psychology, vocational training, Biblical interpretation, science and relig-1 ion, social and religious problems, | j.^,.,.^,,,, book and magazine clubs, current' events, salesmanship, public speaking, preparation for marriage and personal budgeting. Many Subjects Under current events many trends have been suggested, including capitalism, the recovery act, monetary problems, taxation, liquor control, technology, unemployment and relief problems, business barometers and cycles, government ownership, municipal government, transportation and communication problems, aviation, labor problems, democracy, tariffs, league of nations, disarmament, prices, war debts, scientific progress, new physics and chemistry, Hitlerism, and problems of foreign countries. The Community Building will receive 2'egistrafcions during this time, and in case there are not enough registrations locally for any subject, the applicants will be given the privilege of joining with the groups from Canton. Register at the Community Building any time up to January 15. I. C. T. U. GUEST BAY Public Invited To Meeting On Tuesday, January 9. The annual Guest dav and Institute of the W. C. T.

WOMAN well known to many persons in North Canton and its vicinity was in The Sun office yesterday and when asked what she desired more than anything else during 1934 she quickly replied, "Patience." Then she added, "Why not write an article for The Sun on patience?" "Suppose you tell the readers of The Sun what you think of impatience," we suggested. "Why, 1 never wrote an article for a newspaper in my life." "So much the better. Your views will be fresher than the usual grist from a professional's pen." So she consented, and below are her views: A Woman's Views "Impatience is greatly responsible for many of the trials and tribulations of today. We might even call this an age of impatience. "During the years of plenty following the World War we were in the habit of getting about everything we wanted. If we didn't have the money our credit was good. Credit Not So Good "After the financial smashup many people found that their credit was not as good as formerly, that the things we wanted could be had only when the merchant was mighty sure of his money. "This didn's suit millions of people who had become accustomed to say 'charge it.' And oven those who were successful in 'having it charged' found payday not only unwelcome, but at times mighty inconvenient. Reduced Incomes "We became impatient over our reduced incomes. We were impatient with the merchant for hinting that cash would ,be acceptable. "Impatience crept in because we found it necessary to retrench, and as the long depression caused a general tightening of belts we just naturally sunk into a general mood of impatience with about everything and everybody. Try( a New Resolution "1 seldom advise people to make new resolutions at the beginning of the year, because nobody ever remembers them. But I do believe it would be well to make 1034 a year of patience, because the patient person' has a way of inspiring respect and confidence. "Patience is a virtue. Impatience is a destroyer of tranquility and the father of nasty tempers." To the above, The Sun says Amen. Our friend certainly knows what she is talking about. Our Governing Body THIS week Mayor Frank M. Evans, Clerk Lester Braucher, Treasurer Guy Price; Councilmen Baab, Becher, Gill, Mansfield, Smith, Waltenbaugh; Police Marshal Bachtel; Board of Public Affairs members Stover, Moledor and Werst- ler entered upon another term as officials elected by the people. The work of the above-named men in the interest of North Canton could not be criticized, even by the most carping spirit, so the voters wisely decided to keep them in office. Three members of the Board of Education, Price, Mohler and Powell, were retained, as was A. J. Willaman,' clerk of. Plain township. That North Canton is the best governed town of its size in Ohio can not be disputed. The slimy word "graft" has never been applied to any elected official in this town, past or present, and except in one instance (a policeman several years ago) no man appointed by a Mayor of North Canton has ever been accused of neglecting his duty. This is an excellent reputation for a town of 2500 people, and it clearly proves what can be-done when the inhabitants drop political party labels and. select men of known honesty and industry. There are Republicans and Democrats holding office in North Canton, but they were not elected as such. The majority of our people are too intelligent to believe that a man is a partner of the devil because he does not vote a "straight", ticket. That clay, thank God, is fast disappearing in every section of the United States, and it is a good thing for the public that such is the case.

P.-TJIEETING This is the second and last install-1 meat of the letter written by Mrs. I Ruth M. Eschbach from Baguio, Philippine Islands. The first appeared.last | week. ! We enjoyed a line fellowship with the missionaries from China during July and August. There were only about fifteen this year, most of them were either members of the Northern or Southern Baptist Missions. We liked them so well we hope they soon plan another vacation here. Our church has been indirectly responsible- for organizing a sewing society among the American and European women, the purpose of which is to render aid to any worthy cause. They have volunteered to make up several bolts of. material into shirts and dresses to be used in our mountain stations, and recently they gave our choir money to purchase two sets of anthem books which are sadly needed. They are making warm nightgowns and pajamas as a Christmas gift to the tuberculosis patients in the Baguio hospital. Community Chorus We have helped to organize a Community Chorus among the American and European residents to provide some wholesome recreation and entertainment. It meets once a month i for dinner and a social sing. The Dec-' North Canton High will travel to Brewster on Friday night, Jan. 5, to play the high school there and will then entertain Jackson township at home on Saturday night, Dec. (1, at 7:30, in the Community Building. On Friday night the local high teams divided honors at Fulton, the Fulton reserves winning and the North Canton varsity. The North Canton reserves lineup was changed by the shifting of two members of that team to the varsity squad but the game was never cinched and two good shots could have tied it up in the last minutes, Fulton winning by a Hi to 12 score. A Close Battle The varsity game proved to be a close battle during the first half with North Canton keeping the lead most of the time but only by one or two points. The score was tied during the first period at six all but North Canton scored from the field while Fulton added one point from the free throw line to end the period at S to 7 in favor of the visitors. N. C. Goes Ahead In the second period Fulton scored first, tieing the score at eight each. At half time North Canton was again leading by one point, 14 to 13. Playing a tight defense and finding the hoop North Canton opened the third Special to The Sun Washington, Jan. 3—Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohio, who is a candidate to succeed himself, has made a number of enemies in the Republican party owing to his statement that he will oppose many of President Roosevelt's policies on the ground that they are not "constitutional." Western Senators are more than vexed at Fess' attitude. "He is simply playing a cheap tune on a wurnout piano to catch votes in Ohio," said one of them this morning. "Senator Fess deliberately overlooks the fact that several million men have work today, thanks to the President's policies." Congressmen Angry A Congressman, high in the councils of the Republican party, made the statement last night that Senator Fess "Is going back to the days of Joseph Foraker when the latter aa Senator tried to block President Theodore Roosevelt. Everyone knows what happened to Foraker. The people sent him into retirement." Cry An Old One "The Constitution" has been the cry of several men in Congress. Joe Bailey of Texas, when in the House and Senate, was defending the Constitution at every turn. The Lone Star voters put an end to his talk. Backing the President Thousands of letters and telegrams are pouring into Washington urging Senators and Congressmen to "stand by the President." In the face of such support Senator Fess is not going to get anywhere in the opinion of the members of the House and Senate. They recall that when Fess was chairman ot the Republican National Committee he was more or less a "common scold," and even President Calvin Coolidge found it necessary to ask him to keep-silent on the third term question.

Uncle Sam's letter-carriers, if they find handbills in mail boxes, must remove them and hand them to a postal oificial. After that it will be too bad for tlie storekeeper.

The "Mess Kit" wishes for each member of North Canton Post and for every ex-service man' of this community and their families a most prosperous year ror 1934. We feel that we can be proud of the high qualified our membership and of the entcr- .pnse that various individuals are ex I to assure success. Sometimes, surely, we can go a little out of our way, make a few sacrifices, and help a good cause along. The display of good will and helpfulness always pays good dividends in the satisfaction it brings. Let us remember that we must believe in each other, must respect each other and erasing m meeting the onslaughts of j each others' beliefs if we are to con- "' tinue to be a force for good in the the depression. We know that it often takes a lot of courngo to carry on in the face of difficulties, but we hope that conditions win continue to improve. Co-operation and Good Will Needed It has been called to our attention that our community has ever supported Legion activities nobly. Does it not behoove every Legionnaire to get his shouider to the wheel and help to carry his part of the load? We hope to get under way a few activi a force for good community. From all sources wc hear reports of fine membership records. Both national and state membership figures are well in advance of those of any previous year. The total advance 103-1 membership at national headquarters on Dec. -1 was 260,000; the nearest to it being in 1931 when 250,000 were recorded as the total advance for 1932. The Department of Ohio, also, has broken all previous records- for early ties during the winter months. On' membership and our own Tentli dis trict tops the list! While our own Post has not attained as high a percent of its quota as some Posts have our advance membership at this date is higher than it usually is.

This gives a list of all Posts in the state, listing them by name and number and giving the meeting nights and the meeting place for each Post.

A real treat is in store for Parent- Teacher members and their friends on Tuesday evening, Jan. 9, if they will attend the meeting in the Community Building at 7:30. Professor I. A. Spanton, dean of Akron university, will speak on "An Appreciation of Literature." Prof. Spanton for several years was head of the department of English literature in Akron U. before becoming dean. This will be no dull discourse but a message, vital, real and sparkling for Professor Spanton is an interesting speaker and will give real food for thought. Special jnusic will be furnished by the Mother Singers of Hartville. The February meeting will fall the current idea here of a 'good time you would know what a good influence an organization like this is in a community. One week in August, a V. M. C.

As husband and wife, they are the centre of a side-splitting tale which is filled with laughable incidents, and complications which will keep you in a continual roar of laughter. Slim cackles with merriment when he sees the despised little ferry boat blow up at the dock of their little town on Long Island Sound—but he doesn't know that the agitated ZaSu has bought it with their life saving as a present for him!

Supporting Summerville and Miss Pitts are Una Merkel, P.erton Churchill, Warren Hymer, Henry Aimetta, George Marion and many other screen favorites, all of whom add to the hilarious fun of the picture.

I o —— Getting In Right "If you want to make yourself solid with a pessimist, all you have to do is to listen to his troubles. "But, on reflection, who wants to be solid with a pessimist"? [OFFICIAL] To whom it may concern: In a further effort to stimulate tax collections by making more convenient methods of collection, John W. Rost, county treasurer, lias inaugurated a tax bill mailing list system which will be permanent and perpetual. This new policy is a courtesy extended to the public by the office of the county treasurer and follows closely the announcement of last week informing the taxpayers of the installment plan of taxpaying of which many have taken advantage. Cards for mailing list information are now available at the office of the county treasurer and may be obtained by writing or calling at that office. The file will be permanent and year after year, one request card being all that the taxpayer | need fill out unless because of a ; change in address or transfer of real - estate. Following receipt of the card properly filled out no further correspondence is necessary on the part of the taxpayer to secure subsequent statements. j The taxpayers are strongly urged to take advantage of the system as a i convenience to themselves. ! It is planned, also, to have mailing curds available at banks in smal! towns .and villages throughout the county as a further convenience to the taxpayer. . o MOUNTAINS MOVE Uneasy mountains in France and Switzerland, not volcanoes hut apparently solid masses of earth and lock that seemed to be trying to move to another location, have interested scientists. Now from Colorado comes a report that the United States also has a troublesome mountain. Like the restless hills of Europe this Colorado peak is being disturbed by subterranean slides, which have split the mountain and are sending thousands of tons of rock in avalanches down the slopes. To the geologist, there is nothing surprising about this but we have been so accustomed to thinking of mountains as immovable that these eccentricities seem extremely startling.

WOMAN well known to many persons in North Canton and its vicinity was in The Sun office yesterday and when asked what she desired more than anything else during 1934 she quickly replied, "Patience." Then she added, "Why not write an article for The Sun on patience?" "Suppose you tell the readers of The Sun what you think of impatience," we suggested. "Why, 1 never wrote an article for a newspaper in my life." "So much the better. Your views will be fresher than the usual grist from a professional's pen." So she consented, and below are her views: A Woman's Views "Impatience is greatly responsible for many of the trials and tribulations of today. We might even call this an age of impatience. "During the years of plenty following the World War we were in the habit of getting about everything we wanted. If we didn't have the money our credit was good. Credit Not So Good "After the financial smashup many people found that their credit was not as good as formerly, that the things we wanted could be had only when the merchant was mighty sure of his money. "This didn's suit millions of people who had become accustomed to say 'charge it.' And oven those who were successful in 'having it charged' found payday not only unwelcome, but at times mighty inconvenient. Reduced Incomes "We became impatient over our reduced incomes. We were impatient with the merchant for hinting that cash would ,be acceptable. "Impatience crept in because we found it necessary to retrench, and as the long depression caused a general tightening of belts we just naturally sunk into a general mood of impatience with about everything and everybody. Try( a New Resolution "1 seldom advise people to make new resolutions at the beginning of the year, because nobody ever remembers them. But I do believe it would be well to make 1034 a year of patience, because the patient person' has a way of inspiring respect and confidence. "Patience is a virtue. Impatience is a destroyer of tranquility and the father of nasty tempers." To the above, The Sun says Amen. Our friend certainly knows what she is talking about. Our Governing Body THIS week Mayor Frank M. Evans, Clerk Lester Braucher, Treasurer Guy Price; Councilmen Baab, Becher, Gill, Mansfield, Smith, Waltenbaugh; Police Marshal Bachtel; Board of Public Affairs members Stover, Moledor and Werst- ler entered upon another term as officials elected by the people. The work of the above-named men in the interest of North Canton could not be criticized, even by the most carping spirit, so the voters wisely decided to keep them in office. Three members of the Board of Education, Price, Mohler and Powell, were retained, as was A. J. Willaman,' clerk of. Plain township. That North Canton is the best governed town of its size in Ohio can not be disputed. The slimy word "graft" has never been applied to any elected official in this town, past or present, and except in one instance (a policeman several years ago) no man appointed by a Mayor of North Canton has ever been accused of neglecting his duty. This is an excellent reputation for a town of 2500 people, and it clearly proves what can be-done when the inhabitants drop political party labels and. select men of known honesty and industry. There are Republicans and Democrats holding office in North Canton, but they were not elected as such. The majority of our people are too intelligent to believe that a man is a partner of the devil because he does not vote a "straight", ticket. That clay, thank God, is fast disappearing in every section of the United States, and it is a good thing for the public that such is the case.

P.-TJIEETING This is the second and last install-1 meat of the letter written by Mrs. I Ruth M. Eschbach from Baguio, Philippine Islands. The first appeared.last | week. ! We enjoyed a line fellowship with the missionaries from China during July and August. There were only about fifteen this year, most of them were either members of the Northern or Southern Baptist Missions. We liked them so well we hope they soon plan another vacation here. Our church has been indirectly responsible- for organizing a sewing society among the American and European women, the purpose of which is to render aid to any worthy cause. They have volunteered to make up several bolts of. material into shirts and dresses to be used in our mountain stations, and recently they gave our choir money to purchase two sets of anthem books which are sadly needed. They are making warm nightgowns and pajamas as a Christmas gift to the tuberculosis patients in the Baguio hospital. Community Chorus We have helped to organize a Community Chorus among the American and European residents to provide some wholesome recreation and entertainment. It meets once a month i for dinner and a social sing. The Dec-' North Canton High will travel to Brewster on Friday night, Jan. 5, to play the high school there and will then entertain Jackson township at home on Saturday night, Dec. (1, at 7:30, in the Community Building. On Friday night the local high teams divided honors at Fulton, the Fulton reserves winning and the North Canton varsity. The North Canton reserves lineup was changed by the shifting of two members of that team to the varsity squad but the game was never cinched and two good shots could have tied it up in the last minutes, Fulton winning by a Hi to 12 score. A Close Battle The varsity game proved to be a close battle during the first half with North Canton keeping the lead most of the time but only by one or two points. The score was tied during the first period at six all but North Canton scored from the field while Fulton added one point from the free throw line to end the period at S to 7 in favor of the visitors. N. C. Goes Ahead In the second period Fulton scored first, tieing the score at eight each. At half time North Canton was again leading by one point, 14 to 13. Playing a tight defense and finding the hoop North Canton opened the third Special to The Sun Washington, Jan. 3—Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohio, who is a candidate to succeed himself, has made a number of enemies in the Republican party owing to his statement that he will oppose many of President Roosevelt's policies on the ground that they are not "constitutional." Western Senators are more than vexed at Fess' attitude. "He is simply playing a cheap tune on a wurnout piano to catch votes in Ohio," said one of them this morning. "Senator Fess deliberately overlooks the fact that several million men have work today, thanks to the President's policies." Congressmen Angry A Congressman, high in the councils of the Republican party, made the statement last night that Senator Fess "Is going back to the days of Joseph Foraker when the latter aa Senator tried to block President Theodore Roosevelt. Everyone knows what happened to Foraker. The people sent him into retirement." Cry An Old One "The Constitution" has been the cry of several men in Congress. Joe Bailey of Texas, when in the House and Senate, was defending the Constitution at every turn. The Lone Star voters put an end to his talk. Backing the President Thousands of letters and telegrams are pouring into Washington urging Senators and Congressmen to "stand by the President." In the face of such support Senator Fess is not going to get anywhere in the opinion of the members of the House and Senate. They recall that when Fess was chairman ot the Republican National Committee he was more or less a "common scold," and even President Calvin Coolidge found it necessary to ask him to keep-silent on the third term question.

The "Mess Kit" wishes for each member of North Canton Post and for every ex-service man' of this community and their families a most prosperous year ror 1934. We feel that we can be proud of the high qualified our membership and of the entcr- .pnse that various individuals are ex I to assure success. Sometimes, surely, we can go a little out of our way, make a few sacrifices, and help a good cause along. The display of good will and helpfulness always pays good dividends in the satisfaction it brings. Let us remember that we must believe in each other, must respect each other and erasing m meeting the onslaughts of j each others' beliefs if we are to con- "' tinue to be a force for good in the the depression. We know that it often takes a lot of courngo to carry on in the face of difficulties, but we hope that conditions win continue to improve. Co-operation and Good Will Needed It has been called to our attention that our community has ever supported Legion activities nobly. Does it not behoove every Legionnaire to get his shouider to the wheel and help to carry his part of the load? We hope to get under way a few activi a force for good community. From all sources wc hear reports of fine membership records. Both national and state membership figures are well in advance of those of any previous year. The total advance 103-1 membership at national headquarters on Dec. -1 was 260,000; the nearest to it being in 1931 when 250,000 were recorded as the total advance for 1932. The Department of Ohio, also, has broken all previous records- for early ties during the winter months. On' membership and our own Tentli dis trict tops the list! While our own Post has not attained as high a percent of its quota as some Posts have our advance membership at this date is higher than it usually is.

The February meeting will fall the current idea here of a 'good time you would know what a good influence an organization like this is in a community. One week in August, a V. M. C.

It is seen readin Easy To Prove a sign of intelligence to The Sun. ail be other comedy and a news reel. "Her First Mate," is one of the most hilarious of the Universal pictures. As husband and wife, they are the centre of a side-splitting tale which is filled with laughable incidents, and complications which will keep you in a continual roar of laughter. Slim cackles with merriment when he sees the despised little ferry boat blow up at the dock of their little town on Long Island Sound—but he doesn't know that the agitated ZaSu has bought it with their life saving as a present for him! The plot it taken from a Broadway play in which Frank Craven and Una Merkel were featured. Supporting Summerville and Miss Pitts are Una Merkel, P.erton Churchill, Warren Hymer, Henry Aimetta, George Marion and many other screen favorites, all of whom add to the hilarious fun of the picture. Don't miss "Her First Male." It is as fresh as the tang of the sea— and a lot funnier. j Admission: Children up to high school age, ten cents and adults, twenty cents. I o —— Getting In Right "If you want to make yourself solid with a pessimist, all you have to do is to listen to his troubles. "But, on reflection, who wants to be solid with a pessimist"? [OFFICIAL] To whom it may concern: In a further effort to stimulate tax collections by making more convenient methods of collection, John W. Rost, county treasurer, lias inaugurated a tax bill mailing list system which will be permanent and perpetual. This new policy is a courtesy extended to the public by the office of the county treasurer and follows closely the announcement of last week informing the taxpayers of the installment plan of taxpaying of which many have taken advantage. Cards for mailing list information are now available at the office of the county treasurer and may be obtained by writing or calling at that office. The file will be permanent and year after year, one request card being all that the taxpayer | need fill out unless because of a ; change in address or transfer of real - estate. Following receipt of the card properly filled out no further correspondence is necessary on the part of the taxpayer to secure subsequent statements. j The taxpayers are strongly urged to take advantage of the system as a i convenience to themselves. ! It is planned, also, to have mailing curds available at banks in smal! towns .and villages throughout the county as a further convenience to the taxpayer. . o MOUNTAINS MOVE Uneasy mountains in France and Switzerland, not volcanoes hut apparently solid masses of earth and lock that seemed to be trying to move to another location, have interested scientists. Now from Colorado comes a report that the United States also has a troublesome mountain. Like the restless hills of Europe this Colorado peak is being disturbed by subterranean slides, which have split the mountain and are sending thousands of tons of rock in avalanches down the slopes. To the geologist, there is nothing surprising about this but we have been so accustomed to thinking of mountains as immovable that these eccentricities seem extremely startling. |
