After his introduction to the audience by President Gross, Mr. Mark- ley said: Mr. President, Ladies: and Gentlemen: You are assembled here tonight amidst the most pleasant of surroundings and appear to have a spirit of determination to do something that will mark the beginning of a new epoch in the life of your town. You have felt the impulse that has inspired you to service, and realizing that in union there is strength you have come here to offer yourself as a willing worker in any organization that will have for its object the betterment of your community. You are to be congratulated for this, and as I look into the faces of representative citizens of this place, I fancy I see a vision of a bigger, luMer, more prominent North Canton in the future. You well may have a deep and lasting pride in your beautiful growing town, with its charming homes, its fine churches and schools, its magnificent manufacturing industry, its substantial business enterprises, its beautiful streets bordered with green and shady trees, its velvet lawns,, its sparkling clear water and many other blessings and conveniences that ever attend your daily needs. So I say that you haie much to he thankful for, and with a clear brain, a strong arm and a brave heart you are equipped to go forth and fight the battles of life as you pave thc way for aii even more glorious future for •■ouivelves an 1 yoor posterity. t t t t Must Keep Busy But on every hand there is much for each of us to do if we would help to build our town and with it help our- clvch. Idleness or inactivity on the part of a community as well as that * f an individual is a forerunner of ''-a:-t?r and decay and self-satisfae- *:-'!i load:' to sure defeat. The only ' "■ *'* ■■)'..•.!•.<» !-'.vnl is to keep on ir.al:- *:*1':.' .'VO'I. V.'d ila'e liv'i i-t.sp. for if v.'f do -,ve -K-on will f.iti behind ai d !"ii 'ti:; .■•/'!(.oi.i that v;e ever train f'.o place wc hid before. My inir.d'.s eye goes hack to the :s'.v when T first knew this place ."'in:o 18 or 20 years ago, as a mere -! i'''■'''in<;' vil'are of a few hundred inhabitants, ppparently little con- corv.cd about Hie future and never dreaming that some day it would be the home of the great Hoover Suction Sweeper industry. But times have changed. Honest, hardworking, Godfearing men who had a vision caught it from the wings of time and brought it to a realisation before your very eyes, and today you sit amazed at its greatness and encompassed within tbe shadow of that institution whose name and fame has gone round the world and brought the blessings of health, of ease, of comfort and of convenience into the homes of tens of thousands of peode in all parts of the world. X X X X For the Good of All Now, your home town will be just what you make it and all you are today is reflected in all that you have been in the past Whatever you come to in the future depends upon what you are doing right now. It is therefore fitting and proper that the citizens of North Canton unite in a spirit of civic betterment for the common good of its inhabitants. During the past ten years 1 have had the good foilune to be associated with men from all walks of life, having met them in connection with activities of the old Canton Adcraft club, the Chamber of Commerce, the Rotary club, the church and other organizations, and feel sure that such association has been of very great value to me. Many within the hearing of my voice have had similar experiences. Someone paid, "We cannot become great by associating with the great, but we may become greater than what we were because of that association." Men are broadened in their views by meeting each other. Each person unconsciously ' takes on something from those with whom he comes in contact. Each person is constantly adding to his structure, and how important it is that his environment be if the best type. We are a part of all we have met and to quote from this Scriptures: "How good it is when men can live together as brother -,." Your community never can rise above the lev id of its eiT.ize.'jship. Men !.i:;v come ar.d men may go hut c.-i-.-i- nu'iiities gradually develop in proportion to the cooperation and sup- Port that ha< l.-eon given bv its members. X X £ X Boost Your Community Now, what are some of the things '.hat a community or civic organiza tion might do, is a question, the answer of which you would like to know. There are many things, many activities which, if engaged in, will contribute to your development in many ways. A great portion of the success of New England was due to the town meetings which it held, a common place where the citizens got together in bonds of friendship and thrashed out problems common to the interests of all. Many of you will remember the old- fashioned literary societies, the debates, and of the value such institutions were to the community. You are interested in a good band, in night schools, in kindergartens, in better day schools. There should be a better cooperation and a closer relationship between the teacher and the parents. We seem to pay more, attention, nowadays, to tho immaterial things and less to the really permanent and le sting things of life, namely the education of our youth. What above civic pride, cleaner streets, prizes for best kept lawns, beautiful gardens, no vacant lots growing up in weeds, no unsightly buildings, better paved streets, better fire protection? This community is to be congratulated for its Vacation Bible schools, having been the pioneer us I under- rtand in that movement. North Canton might well be styled "The City Beautiful." It all depends upon tht activities of its citizens. What about thrift campaigns, encouraging home owning, teaching thp young how \o work and to save, an'1 work among boys and girls? Th'- kirger your town grows and the more beantiful it becomes, the more valuable your property is. Let the civic association be a clearing house of cooperation and betterment and let you; energy be constructive, not destructive. Put your shoulder to the wheel. Push! Don't knock, but boost! Praise your town wherever you go. Be a good neighbor, a good citizen, and you will attract others who will enjoy living within your midst. X X X X Favors Organization I know of no better way than Ihroi.yh the medium of an association whereby the representative citizens of riiis community can get together at : tated interval'; and discuss matters • 'emmon to the interests of the people of your town. Speakers are always available and they can bring to you [Continued on page five.] At the regular meeting of Post 41&, American Leg-ion, on Monday evening Edward Gross and Ralph Garman were elected delegates and E. J. Herbruck and Ray Firestone alternates to the state convention which meets in Springfield, Ohio, on September 8, S.'IO and 11. The North Canton post is entitled to two representatives, but the convention is open to all Legibnaires, and ary local members contemplating the trip should get in touch with tho adjatant of Post 419 for information regarding reduced railroad fare, hotel reservations, etc. Meeting Weli Attended The meeting on Monday evening was attended by thirty members, among those present being two out- of-town buddies, Howard Warburton of Hamilton, Ontario, and Paul Allen of Clearendon, Texas, both being on their vacations here. At this meeting it was decided to extend the use of the club room of Post 419 to the newly formed William Cassler Post, Veterans of Foreign Wars. Get Book hy Gen.

After his introduction to the audience by President Gross, Mr. Mark-
ley said:
Mr. President, Ladies: and Gentlemen:
You are assembled here tonight
amidst the most pleasant of surroundings and appear to have a spirit
of determination to do something that
will mark the beginning of a new
epoch in the life of your town.
You have felt the impulse that has
inspired you to service, and realizing
that in union there is strength you
have come here to offer yourself as
a willing worker in any organization
that will have for its object the betterment of your community.
You are to be congratulated for
this, and as I look into the faces of
representative citizens of this place,
I fancy I see a vision of a bigger,
luMer, more prominent North Canton
in the future. You well may have a
deep and lasting pride in your beautiful growing town, with its charming
homes, its fine churches and schools,
its magnificent manufacturing industry, its substantial business enterprises, its beautiful streets bordered
with green and shady trees, its velvet
lawns,, its sparkling clear water and
many other blessings and conveniences
that ever attend your daily needs.
So I say that you haie much to he
thankful for, and with a clear brain,
a strong arm and a brave heart you
are equipped to go forth and fight the
battles of life as you pave thc way
for aii even more glorious future for
•■ouivelves an 1 yoor posterity.

Must Keep Busy
But on every hand there is much for
each of us to do if we would help to
build our town and with it help our-
clvch. Idleness or inactivity on the
part of a community as well as that

My inir.d'.s eye goes hack to the
:s'.v when T first knew this place
."'in:o 18 or 20 years ago, as a mere
-! i'''■'''in<;' vil'are of a few hundred
inhabitants, ppparently little con-
corv.cd about Hie future and never
dreaming that some day it would be
the home of the great Hoover Suction
Sweeper industry. But times have
changed. Honest, hardworking, Godfearing men who had a vision caught
it from the wings of time and brought
it to a realisation before your very
eyes, and today you sit amazed at its
greatness and encompassed within tbe
shadow of that institution whose name
and fame has gone round the world
and brought the blessings of health,
of ease, of comfort and of convenience into the homes of tens of thousands of peode in all parts of the
world.

For the Good of All
Now, your home town will be just
what you make it and all you are
today is reflected in all that you have
been in the past Whatever you come
to in the future depends upon what
you are doing right now.
It is therefore fitting and proper
that the citizens of North Canton
unite in a spirit of civic betterment
for the common good of its inhabitants.
During the past ten years 1 have
had the good foilune to be associated
with men from all walks of life, having met them in connection with activities of the old Canton Adcraft
club, the Chamber of Commerce, the
Rotary club, the church and other organizations, and feel sure that such
association has been of very great
value to me.
Many within the hearing of my
voice have had similar experiences.
Someone paid, "We cannot become
great by associating with the great,
but we may become greater than what
we were because of that association."
Men are broadened in their views
by meeting each other. Each person
unconsciously ' takes on something
from those with whom he comes in
contact. Each person is constantly
adding to his structure, and how important it is that his environment be
if the best type. We are a part of
all we have met and to quote from
this Scriptures: "How good it is when
men can live together as brother -,."
Your community never can rise
above the lev id of its eiT.ize.'jship. Men
!.i:;v come ar.d men may go hut c.-i-.-i-
nu'iiities gradually develop in proportion to the cooperation and sup-
Port that ha< l.-eon given bv its members.

Boost Your Community
Now, what are some of the things
'.hat a community or civic organiza
tion might do, is a question, the answer of which you would like to know.
There are many things, many activities which, if engaged in, will contribute to your development in many
ways.
A great portion of the success of
New England was due to the town
meetings which it held, a common
place where the citizens got together
in bonds of friendship and thrashed
out problems common to the interests
of all.
Many of you will remember the old-
fashioned literary societies, the debates, and of the value such institutions were to the community. You
are interested in a good band, in night
schools, in kindergartens, in better day
schools. There should be a better cooperation and a closer relationship between the teacher and the parents.
We seem to pay more, attention,
nowadays, to tho immaterial things
and less to the really permanent and
le sting things of life, namely the education of our youth.
What above civic pride, cleaner
streets, prizes for best kept lawns,
beautiful gardens, no vacant lots
growing up in weeds, no unsightly
buildings, better paved streets, better
fire protection?
This community is to be congratulated for its Vacation Bible schools,
having been the pioneer us I under-
rtand in that movement. North Canton might well be styled "The City
Beautiful." It all depends upon tht
activities of its citizens.
What about thrift campaigns, encouraging home owning, teaching thp
young how \o work and to save, an'1
work among boys and girls? Th'-
kirger your town grows and the more
beantiful it becomes, the more valuable your property is. Let the civic
association be a clearing house of cooperation and betterment and let you;
energy be constructive, not destructive.
Put your shoulder to the wheel.
Push! Don't knock, but boost! Praise
your town wherever you go. Be a
good neighbor, a good citizen, and you
will attract others who will enjoy living within your midst.

Favors Organization
I know of no better way than
Ihroi.yh the medium of an association
whereby the representative citizens of
riiis community can get together at
: tated interval'; and discuss matters
• 'emmon to the interests of the people
of your town. Speakers are always
available and they can bring to you
