ALL THE REAL NEWS AND SPECIAL FEATURES CAREFULLY EDITED READ BY BRIGHT PEOPLE IT SHINES FOR ALL THE PEOPLE IN NORTHERN STARK COUNTV READ BY BRIGHT PEOPLE VOL. 11—NO. 40. An Independent Newspaper That Plays No Favorites Among Advertisers or Subscribers, and With One Price To Ali NORTH CANTON, STARK COUNTY, OHIO, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 16, 1933. •$2.00 PER YEAR. AUGUST HESS IS 80; TEACHES S.-S, CLASS North Canton's "Grand Old Man" Is Active At His Work In the Factory and His Erect Figure Is Seen Daily Mingling Among His Fellow Men. HE IS A SAFE ADVISOR Told Without Varnish By BEN LONG August Hess was SO years af age last week, and he received many assurances of personal esteem from the residents of North Canton. The'Men's Bible class of The Community Christian cliurcli, of which lie is one of thc teachers, sent him a large and beautiful bouquet of choice (lowers. Ralph Young, president of the class, presented the bouquet, and wished Mr. Hess many more years of active life. The Sun takes this opportunity to extend to August Hess heartiest congratulations. He is in every sense a "Grand Old Man," and he belongs to a school that is fast vanishing. A Safe Advisor When-the great Roman orator and lawyer, Cicero, was making his noble appeal for Ligarius before no less a Judge than Julius Caesar, he uttered the fine sentiment that man can approach no nearer to God than in giving safety to men. » In wisely guiding the Junior Men's class for years, and in advising the Senior Men's class, August Hess gave, and gives, safe advice whenever he speaks. He has a great gift of a fine sense of humor; he loves a good story and few can tell one better. He has the saving element of humor, which, like a ray of sunshine, permeates most of the relations of human life. Enjoys Fellowship He is not, as some men of his years, a recluse who knows little beyond his home and his church. He enjoys the companionship of his fellow-men, and he is active at his bench in The Hoover factory. August Hess is held in great respect by all jortun.ile enough co know him. His erect, familiar figure is seen daily on the streets of North Canton, and The Sun .sincerely hopes that it will be many years before he passes. Responsibility M e n a n (1 women remind me of a running' race in which a number of horses are onto red. Some quit .before they start — "scratched at the post"—; others make the first quarter with much s p e e d , then slacken their pace, and become "also rans." They are just plain quitters. Afraid of responsibility. t t t A man who thinks mainly of himself and of getting through life with the least amount of responsibility will not take on any sort of leadership. He will remain a private, a very private individual, and thus escape the criticisms, annoyances, anxieties and jealousies that leaders know. Fear is perhaps the main .thing from which we all need to be delivered in shouldering the responsibilities of life—the fear of failure, the fear that the things against us are too great for us. Such fears paralyze. They rob us of initiative. They are themselves an invitation to defeat. t 1 i Men do not leap into responsibility. They grow into it. They prepare for it by lesser acceptances through the years. That is why we should never seek to evade responsibility, why we should refuse to listen to the selfish, cowardly voices which remind us how responsibility will call for discipline and possibly eat into our leisure. No man gets very far in the service of his fellows unless he has an ambition to serve, and to count in some enterprise that matters. There are poor dull souls who feel no stirrings of that sort, especially in youth. Such fellows are to be pitied. STATE FAIR TO OPEN MONDAY, AUGUST 28 This Year, According to Director Hanefeld, the Buildings and Grounds Will Be Crowded With Exhibits Representing Agriculture and Business. EXPECTS RECORD CROWDS ROTARY CLUB Meets On Thursday At (i—N. C. Band At 'Children's Camp. Rotary dinner tomorrow (Thursday) evening at 6:30 in The Community Christian church dining hall. Last Thursday evening the Rotarians and their wives and members of the North Canton Community Band enjoyed an excellent dinner and then went to the camp for crippled children in the Lake Cable area. The band played for the youngsters and merit prizes were awarded to a number of the "kiddies". The camp closes this week. It is sponsored by the Rotary club of Canton and each year children return (home refreshed and strengthened by the outing. N. C. SCHOOL NOTES As 1 See It Foggy Hopkins Joyce, beautiful blonde actress, says "the perfect' man isn't easy to find." As Peggy has been married merely five times what does she know about matrimony'.' When the charming Peggy has had more experience she'll be in a better position to talk. You have always noticed that Cupid is provided with wings, but you probably never suspected why. I can tell you. The little rascal is given wings so that he can make a quick get-away and escape the wrath of the many couples he mismates. In other words, the best bow-and-arrow expert misses the bullseye occasionally. ■ "Women are less outspoken in their praise of men," remarks the Listener in the Boston Transcript. They are, brother, they are. They may wheedle and look unutterable things, but their art is too delicate and subtle to. be detected by the dull faculties of the ordinary he. When she says to him softly, "I think you're wonderful," j there's nothing more to do but send for the parson. Fall Term Opens Sept. 11- Coal Asked. -Bids For Bids for coal to be supplied the North Canton public schools for this winter are to be received up to noon of Saturday, August. 19. In order to avoid conflict with Labor day and the Stark County Fair the public schools of North Canton will open on Monday, Sept. 11. All high school pupils who .have not registered will be given an opportunity to do so on Monday, Aug. 28. This includes pupils who wish to change their program, pupils who attended summer school and new pupils. Fine job printing at The Sun office. Sun printers know how. Bill Evans asked me yesterday if I had ever met an "unsnubbable, un- squelchable individual with a rhino- hide and hammer-proof head." Not only have I met one, but several of the species, Bill. They visit The Sun oll'ice about the time there is a state and countv election in Ohio. There are two things that are remarkable about human nature. One is its unexpectedness. The other is unconquerable courage. Human lilies blossom unexpectedly in the foulest slums. Rank weeds suddenly rear their heads in the most carefully cultivated human gardens. They are unexplained and unexplainable. But wherever you look mankind has progressed because it has never known when it was beaten. Because of that, it never has been beaten. The Ohio State Fair opens on Monday, August 2X, and closes on Saturday, September 2, on the fair grounds, Columbus, which have long' had the reputation of being the finest in the nation. To quote an opening announcement of Director Hanefeld: "Thc fair is the foremost of its kind in America. This year, as in other years, it will faithfully mirror the improvement of Ohio agriculture and allied industries. The mammoth exposition buildings and the extensive grounds will be crowded with exhibits representing' the best in all lines of progressive thought." Many Improvements Noted Many improvements can be pointed to in the fair this year. For example the cattle department this year includes the National Shorthorn show, which brings together the greatest exhibit of shorthorns, polled shorthorns and milking shorthorns ever shown at any agricultural exposition. The poultry department is in a bigger and better building. The racing department has a better card than ever. Many minor details of improvement combine to make it the greatest fair in history. Improvement in business, and new hope on the farm will increase attendance at the fair in a marked degree, Manager Beer believes. He has sent an appeal over the state and nation to agriculturalist and public not to miss this eighty-third state fair. How Premium Money Is Spent ■ Within the six days of its life'-the State Fair will distribute .•flOS.u.SG in premiums for the many thousands of exhibits which will be in its halls am! stables during the week of the Fair. Beef breeds will take the greatest silicic part of the money, $l:j,uii_). The next single item will be ^10,!lSfi.2"> which is to be spent upon the Junior Fair oi* which the state fair management is so proud. A third item in size is dairy breeds on which the fair will lavish $10,595 in awards. Admission 25 Cents In keeping with the times, Fair has fixed the lowest general admission price offered the public in many years. Adults and children more than six years of age will be admitted for 25 cents each. It will cost a quarter, also, for an automobile to be admitted to the grounds day or night. Exhibitors ticket, good all week, is $1.00. The fair opens at G:30 on the morning of Monday, Aug. 28, and is open until 10:30 each evening. It closes Saturday, Sept. 2, at 10:30 p. m. FOOTBALL TALK Willis Wood Wants Boys Under 130 Pounds For a Team. WILL GREET FRIENDS Rev. Fr. Joseph McCann Arranges Dinner At Harrisburg On Sunday Ev'g., Aug. 20. The Rev. Father Joseph McCann, who was assistant pastor of St. Paul's church, North Canton, when Father Kotheimer was in charge; is now stationed at Harrisburg as pastor of Sacred Heart of Mary church. He has arranged to meet his many friends from North Canton, Middle- branch and other sections served by The Sun on Sunday evening from 5 to S o'clock. A full course chicken dinner will be served at the following prices: Adults, 50c; children, 25c. Cards will be played. Harrisburg is not far from North Canton, and as Father McCann is decidedly popular in The Sun's district it is expected that many of this newspaper's readers will greet him on Sunday evening, Aug. 20. ARTHUR BRISBANE IS ON THE WRONG ROAD Columnist Says That Every Man ol" Importance Lives In a Large City—Overlooks the Fact That Many Great Men Still Call Small Town '-Home." HE IGNORES FARM BOYS IN in- aii' The boys have been thinking about football and we hope to have a team of boys under 130 lbs. First call for practice will be on Sept. 11.

Telling, of the Activities of North Canton American Legion Post No. 419 and of the Legion Auxiliary The next regular meeting of the Post will be on Monday, Sept. 11. Concntion News Mr. and Mrs. Howard Zengler, Mrs. Homer Sloan, and Mr. and Mrs. Allen Schneider have returned from Lima where they attended the fifteenth Annual convention of the American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary of the department of Ohio. "Shorty" Lash Wins Honors One of the features of the Convention was a Drum and Bugle Corps contest in which some seventeen corps participated. In connection meet this year and was presented with a liberal cash award. Bellfon- taine was runner-up in this contest, and Norwood, a suburb of Cincinnati, won third place. for the high office that he has now attained. The earnestness of the man, his straight-forwardness and his modesty in pushing- forward his campaign were the irresistible qualities of the man in with this meet there were held con- j for the past two years has been vice- Massillon got her full measure of i that prevented an alert and confident honors for their Auxiliary quartette] opposition from defeating McCaw won first place and their glee club \ \V. won second place. i Tom .McCaw Chosen Commander North Canton Post and the entire Tenth District was very proud to learn that the commandersliip of the department of Ohio for the ensuing year goes to Tom McCaw.of Dennison, who Arthur Brisbane, of whom The Sun has spoken complimeiitarily many times, unlimbered his typewriter the other day and turned loo-e the following blast in his "Today" column in the daily papers: "Every man who works in a big city, and that means EVERY MAN OF IMPORTANCE THE UNITED STATES, is terested in protection against attacks." Fie, fie, Arthur, would you insinuate that there are no important men in this country except tho..e who work in a big city'.' Have you forgotten, r r did you ever know, that some of our most illustrious and useful ciii'.a ns live ill small cities, some of them even in country towns'.' And are you blind to the fact that many of our most brilliant Senator.- and Congressmen are from the small towns, some of them from'the farms? Arthur Is Forgetful And don't you know, Arthur, that many of the most illustrious citizens of the sunny southland live on plantations, far, far from the turmoil of big cities? And can you not lecall, Arthur dear, that many of our great colleges and universities, with their learned educators, are located many miles from any metropolis? And can not you remember, oh mighty and prolific writer, that the great west is dotted with men of brains and capacity who are daily creating a mighty empire out of plains and hills that once resounded with wanvhoops of lawdess and savage men? And that these magnificent empire builders live in modest or humble homes, miles and miles from any big city? And may we remind you, if your brain is still capable of absorbing ordinary intelligence, that a great many newspapers in small cities and country towns print one of your column:- each week, for which you receive generous compensation ? Aren't you '. just a little ashamed, Arthur, to bite ' tile hand that puts bread into your mouth ? ] Our Local People You insinuate that there is NO ONE : OF IMPORTANCE IN THIS TOWN, j Knowing- our local people as we do, we cannot agree with you. There are no men of more importance to this nation than the people who constitute the source of all wealth and prosperity—the farmers, the local business men, the humble citizens in all walks of the countryside whose toil makes a life of ease possible in the big cities. And do you recall, Arthur, that the greatest newspaper men New Y'ork city (your home town) ever contained came from small towns? Two of them John A. Cockrell and Julius Chambers, were products of southern Ohio. Forget the "Big City" stuff, Arthur! The brightest minds in finance, journalism, law and commerce in New York today refer to small towns as "home." You Have to Sow- SWIMMING CONTEST AGAINST CLEVELAND Stars From That City Will Be Seen In Action In the N. C. i j Pool On Saturday Afternoon J Heginning At 2:.">0—Nine Events Are Scheduled. CHURCH ROYS ARE ACTIVE If You Expect to Reap o Your Part AN EDITORIAL PUBLIC speakers over the air and the newspapers have truly said that the N. K. A. cannot restore prosperity and give employment to the idle unless eacli citizen does his part. Tlie nation can nol be pulled out of the slough of depression by one man alone, or by any small set of men. Nor can prosperity be restored merely by the enacting' of federal laws. Wisdom dictates that we reserve enough of our weekly or monthly incomes to insure the safety of ourselves and those dependent upon us. But beyond that point humanity requires that we spend as generously as possible, in order that business may be revived and the wheels of industry may again hum as in the days of old. The overworked man in the White House i.s carrying heavy burdens today, and so are we all. I'ut these burdens may be vapidly lessened and eventually removed if we giv of our earnest efforts as generou:-'ly as he ir. doing'. Can we afford fo do less? Do your part. Cleveland's swimming team promise to he in North Canton for sun- on Saturday afternoon at1 2:'.',0 to compete against our boys in a nine-event swimming meet. St. Paul's Cliurcli St. Paul's church "learn to swim" campaign started on Monday morning and will continue until Friday of next week. Any boy or girl belonging to this church may have a pass card good for 10 lessons in lhe art of swimming. Christian Church The Community Christian church will sponsor a swimming part\ at the community pool on Friday for all members. This will wind up their "learn to swim" campaign that started on Monday, Aug. 7. The boys and girls will have an opportunity to show their skill as navigator."*; also some special work will bo displayed for tbe benefit of those that come. Pass Saving Tests Rob Wise passed his senior lied Cross life-saving test last week and (itiy Essig passed the junior. About six more will be read;, for their test this week.

Karl Gooseman, widely known for his work among the unfortunates of Canton, occupied the pulpit in Zion Reformed cliurcli, North Canton, on Sunday morning in the absence of the pastor, the Rev. Melvin E. Beck, who was out of town. Mr. Gooseman spoke on "Faith and Action." He said God created the world and He sent His Son to redeem it. These two things prove that God owns the world. Mr. Gooseman said (hat tlje one solvent of all human antagonisms is sympathy. It is sympathy that enables men to get together and view each other with clear eyes. If we could only practice this in all the relations of life we should soon have a sweeter world. Blind Evangelist and Wife 1)PEN RMYAL Evangelist Booker and Wife Are Appearing In GiTontown.

Concntion News Mr. and Mrs. Howard Zengler, Mrs. Homer Sloan, and Mr. and Mrs. Allen Schneider have returned from Lima where they attended the fifteenth Annual convention of the American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary of the department of Ohio. "Shorty" Lash Wins Honors One of the features of the Convention was a Drum and Bugle Corps contest in which some seventeen corps participated. In connection meet this year and was presented with a liberal cash award. Bellfon- taine was runner-up in this contest, and Norwood, a suburb of Cincinnati, won third place. for the high office that he has now attained.

Fie, fie, Arthur, would you insinuate that there are no important men in this country except tho..e who work in a big city'.' Have you forgotten, r r did you ever know, that some of our most illustrious and useful ciii'.a ns live ill small cities, some of them even in country towns'.' And are you blind to the fact that many of our most brilliant Senator.- and Congressmen are from the small towns, some of them from'the farms? Arthur Is Forgetful And don't you know, Arthur, that many of the most illustrious citizens of the sunny southland live on plantations, far, far from the turmoil of big cities? And can you not lecall, Arthur dear, that many of our great colleges and universities, with their learned educators, are located many miles from any metropolis? And can not you remember, oh mighty and prolific writer, that the great west is dotted with men of brains and capacity who are daily creating a mighty empire out of plains and hills that once resounded with wanvhoops of lawdess and savage men? And that these magnificent empire builders live in modest or humble homes, miles and miles from any big city? And may we remind you, if your brain is still capable of absorbing ordinary intelligence, that a great many newspapers in small cities and country towns print one of your column:- each week, for which you receive generous compensation ? Aren't you '. just a little ashamed, Arthur, to bite ' tile hand that puts bread into your mouth ? ] Our Local People You insinuate that there is NO ONE : OF IMPORTANCE IN THIS TOWN, j Knowing- our local people as we do, we cannot agree with you. There are no men of more importance to this nation than the people who constitute the source of all wealth and prosperity—the farmers, the local business men, the humble citizens in all walks of the countryside whose toil makes a life of ease possible in the big cities. And do you recall, Arthur, that the greatest newspaper men New Y'ork city (your home town) ever contained came from small towns? Two of them John A. Cockrell and Julius Chambers, were products of southern Ohio. Forget the "Big City" stuff, Arthur! The brightest minds in finance, journalism, law and commerce in New York today refer to small towns as "home."

CHURCH ROYS ARE ACTIVE If You Expect to Reap o Your Part AN EDITORIAL PUBLIC speakers over the air and the newspapers have truly said that the N. K. A. cannot restore prosperity and give employment to the idle unless eacli citizen does his part. Tlie nation can nol be pulled out of the slough of depression by one man alone, or by any small set of men. Nor can prosperity be restored merely by the enacting' of federal laws. Wisdom dictates that we reserve enough of our weekly or monthly incomes to insure the safety of ourselves and those dependent upon us. But beyond that point humanity requires that we spend as generously as possible, in order that business may be revived and the wheels of industry may again hum as in the days of old. The overworked man in the White House i.s carrying heavy burdens today, and so are we all. I'ut these burdens may be vapidly lessened and eventually removed if we giv of our earnest efforts as generou:-'ly as he ir. doing'. Can we afford fo do less? Do your part. Cleveland's swimming team promise to he in North Canton for sun- on Saturday afternoon at1 2:'.',0 to compete against our boys in a nine-event swimming meet.

Melvin E. Beck, who was out of town. Mr. Gooseman spoke on "Faith and Action." He said God created the world and He sent His Son to redeem it. These two things prove that God owns the world. Mr. Gooseman said (hat tlje one solvent of all human antagonisms is sympathy. It is sympathy that enables men to get together and view each other with clear eyes. If we could only practice this in all the relations of life we should soon have a sweeter world. Blind Evangelist and Wife 1)PEN RMYAL Evangelist Booker and Wife Are Appearing In GiTontown.
