Told Without Varnish h Ben Long George Washington BEFORE the next issue of The Sun the American people will be honoring the birthday anniversary of George Washington, "First in Peace, First in War, and First.in the Hearts of his Countrymen." Monday, Feb. 22, is tlie day. He was born in 1732. The Sun last week contained an excellent article by Elmer Scott Watson in which he narrated some interesting- inside information concerning Parson Weems and the yarns he wrote about. Washington. Today I am contributing a few paragraphs not generally known about the Father of His Country, but they are authentic and were "boiled down" by mefor quick reading after I had examined minutely a number of volumes. THE brief career of George Washington as. Congressman from Virginia began on Sept. 5, 177-1, when he met in Philadelphia with delegates from all the. colonies, except Georgia, in the first Continental Congress. He served for a period of about three months, for -when the second Continental Congress met in May, 1775, he was a delegate from Virginia. His appointment as commander-in-chief of the army, on June 15, terminated his ■ Congressional activities'. The Congress met first in the City Tavern in Philadelphia, elected Peytoii Randolph president, and adjourned to Carpenter's hall-where the remaining sessions were held. Washington attended the second Congress dressed in military uniform, and it is possible that he went to the first Congress similarly attired. This seems to have been his way of indicating that he was prepared for the clash which every day appeared more certain. His diaries record nothing of the discussions which took place in Congress. He must have participated effectively in the deliberations for Patrick Henry, when asked who who was the greatest man in the body, replied: "If you speak of eloquence, Mr. Rutledge of South Carolina is by far the greatest [Continued on back page] PICTURE DISPLAY In North Canton Library Is High Class and Well Worth Seeing. The exhibit of "hobby shots," a collection of pictures taken by the Wesley Bowman studios of Chicago, brings to North Canton a most interesting display. . ,«, . .. - These photographs- range in subject from still life and portraits to industrial and commercial scenes. The cloud effects in the outdoor shots and the. expression on the face of the young boy, reading a dectective story in bed, appeal to everyone. Many of these pictures received recognition at the convention of the Photographers Association of America, in 1936. This display will last for two weeks and is well worth a visit to the library. .

The game will be played on Washington high school floor at Massillon on Friday at 5:00 p.m. During the regular season Beach City defeated the local boys.

Spring is approaching and the housewife is beginning lo look over | her house furnishings with the i thought of making rooms more al- ' tractive than they seem to be during winter. We have in North Canton a furniture hospital operated by A. B. Frve of 221 West Maple street. A look about his workroom some time when he is refinishing or re-upholstering some much used but good piece of furniture will convince anyone that given, an article substantially made, Mr. Frye can restore it to "its one time beauty and create a piece of furniture that has the aristocracy of age. THE SUN takes this opportunity to extend assurance of its high regard to one of the most manly, lovable men it has ever met, the Rev. M. A. Cossaboom, pastor of The Community Christian church of North Canton, who quietly celebrated his birthday anniversary on Monday, February 15. Pastor Cossaboom fits in nicely with the other clergymen in this town, men mentally big enough to occupy pulpits in any largo city. He came to North Canton in the Fall of 1922 and it has been his privilege to see his church go steadily forward in good deeds and in increased number of its communicants. Besides modesty and grit, conspicuous qualities of Mr. Cossaboom are his perfect honesty, which make all men trust him; his common sense, which cause many persons to seek his advice; his kindly interest in other people: his simple tastes; his frank contempt for affectation, and a deep respect for what he considers his duty. The Sun likes him because of his intensely human qualities and his earnest and unostentatious personality. There is nothing of the "holier than thou" nonsense about him; nothing artificial. The kindliest humor enlivens his conversation in the church and on the street, and his sermons are broad-gauged and wield a great influence for good because they are backed by hard facts and not cheap sensationalism.

Barthelmeh, Stark County Prosecutor, and several attorneys will take the leading roles in a "mock trial" when it is staked in the hall of North Canton Aeria, No. 2223, Fraternal Order of Eagles, on Monday night, February 22, beginning at 8:00 o'clock.

The present epidemic, if such it may be called, is influenza in a mild form, but the most serious cases are of those who have been getting well and have gone back to work too soon or have over- exercised too precipitately. The influenza of this winter leaves patients weak and even a long walk results in a compote prostration of vigor. Do not try to got well too quickly. These are words worth remembering. o The Danger Season THIS is the time of year when accidents on the streets involving children are likely to occur. A slippery street is a difficult place to bring your car into immediate control. These are things to keep constantly in mind right now. Many motorists appreciate the hazard of icy roads and endeavor at all times to be careful, but children are thoughtless and aged persons cannot jump out of the way like younger pedestrians. To kill a person will harass your memory for years even though you may be within your rights, even though you incur no criminal or civil liability. A few drivers seem to feel that every street is a speedway. They have no regard for man, woman, child or motorist. These fellows should be watched by the police and after they are arrested they should be fined, sent to jail for six months, and their right to drive a car taken away from them for one year. That is the only way to convince speed fiends that they are not greater than the community through which they drive.

WILLIAMS As a competitor of Major Bowes of radio fame Colonel Williams of the Community Building and Rotary fame has many warm friends in North Canton and its vicinity. The members of the North Canton Rotary club, their wives known as Rotary Anns, and several visitors were perfectly satisfied with the program staged on Thursday night. The dinner, as usual, was in the de luxe class. it was in some respects a valentine party. Each. Rotarian and Ann received thc half of a valentine. When the two halves were joined you had your dinner partner. The only bachelor in the club could not locate the other half of the picture he was pathetically holding so he entered the dining room after the manner of a retiring governor of Massachusetts walking down the state house steps—all alone. The ladies received--red carnations, and the ice cream.had a. pink Cupid heart in the center. The Show Opens The show opened when Highfield Johnson, Dwight Harsh, Ward Mathie,. Russell Rudy and Mike Bennick. entered the dining room attired as pirates, including skull and cross-bones. Their faces resembled a sunset over Portage street extension about the time mother announces "supper is waiting," and the shorts they wore would make a Scotsman blush. They were made out of bed ticking. That is the shorts were, not the pirates.. O, yes, they carried knives, and they wore regulation pirate handkerchiefs around their necks and upper-deck patent leather boots.

Congressman from Virginia began on Sept. 5, 177-1, when he met in Philadelphia with delegates from all the. colonies, except Georgia, in the first Continental Congress. He served for a period of about three months, for -when the second Continental Congress met in May, 1775, he was a delegate from Virginia. His appointment as commander-in-chief of the army, on June 15, terminated his ■ Congressional activities'. The Congress met first in the City Tavern in Philadelphia, elected Peytoii Randolph president, and adjourned to Carpenter's hall-where the remaining sessions were held. Washington attended the second Congress dressed in military uniform, and it is possible that he went to the first Congress similarly attired. This seems to have been his way of indicating that he was prepared for the clash which every day appeared more certain. His diaries record nothing of the discussions which took place in Congress. He must have participated effectively in the deliberations for Patrick Henry, when asked who who was the greatest man in the body, replied: "If you speak of eloquence, Mr. Rutledge of South Carolina is by far the greatest [Continued on back page] PICTURE DISPLAY In North Canton Library Is High Class and Well Worth Seeing. The exhibit of "hobby shots," a collection of pictures taken by the Wesley Bowman studios of Chicago, brings to North Canton a most interesting display. . ,«, . .. - These photographs- range in subject from still life and portraits to industrial and commercial scenes. The cloud effects in the outdoor shots and the. expression on the face of the young boy, reading a dectective story in bed, appeal to everyone. Many of these pictures received recognition at the convention of the Photographers Association of America, in 1936. This display will last for two weeks and is well worth a visit to the library. .

Spring is approaching and the housewife is beginning lo look over | her house furnishings with the i thought of making rooms more al- ' tractive than they seem to be during winter. We have in North Canton a furniture hospital operated by A. B. Frve of 221 West Maple street. A look about his workroom some time when he is refinishing or re-upholstering some much used but good piece of furniture will convince anyone that given, an article substantially made, Mr. Frye can restore it to "its one time beauty and create a piece of furniture that has the aristocracy of age. THE SUN takes this opportunity to extend assurance of its high regard to one of the most manly, lovable men it has ever met, the Rev. M. A. Cossaboom, pastor of The Community Christian church of North Canton, who quietly celebrated his birthday anniversary on Monday, February 15. Pastor Cossaboom fits in nicely with the other clergymen in this town, men mentally big enough to occupy pulpits in any largo city. He came to North Canton in the Fall of 1922 and it has been his privilege to see his church go steadily forward in good deeds and in increased number of its communicants. Besides modesty and grit, conspicuous qualities of Mr. Cossaboom are his perfect honesty, which make all men trust him; his common sense, which cause many persons to seek his advice; his kindly interest in other people: his simple tastes; his frank contempt for affectation, and a deep respect for what he considers his duty. The Sun likes him because of his intensely human qualities and his earnest and unostentatious personality. There is nothing of the "holier than thou" nonsense about him; nothing artificial. The kindliest humor enlivens his conversation in the church and on the street, and his sermons are broad-gauged and wield a great influence for good because they are backed by hard facts and not cheap sensationalism.

The present epidemic, if such it may be called, is influenza in a mild form, but the most serious cases are of those who have been getting well and have gone back to work too soon or have over- exercised too precipitately. The influenza of this winter leaves patients weak and even a long walk results in a compote prostration of vigor. Do not try to got well too quickly. These are words worth remembering. o The Danger Season THIS is the time of year when accidents on the streets involving children are likely to occur. A slippery street is a difficult place to bring your car into immediate control. These are things to keep constantly in mind right now. Many motorists appreciate the hazard of icy roads and endeavor at all times to be careful, but children are thoughtless and aged persons cannot jump out of the way like younger pedestrians. To kill a person will harass your memory for years even though you may be within your rights, even though you incur no criminal or civil liability. A few drivers seem to feel that every street is a speedway. They have no regard for man, woman, child or motorist. These fellows should be watched by the police and after they are arrested they should be fined, sent to jail for six months, and their right to drive a car taken away from them for one year. That is the only way to convince speed fiends that they are not greater than the community through which they drive.

WILLIAMS As a competitor of Major Bowes of radio fame Colonel Williams of the Community Building and Rotary fame has many warm friends in North Canton and its vicinity. The members of the North Canton Rotary club, their wives known as Rotary Anns, and several visitors were perfectly satisfied with the program staged on Thursday night. The dinner, as usual, was in the de luxe class. it was in some respects a valentine party. Each. Rotarian and Ann received thc half of a valentine. When the two halves were joined you had your dinner partner. The only bachelor in the club could not locate the other half of the picture he was pathetically holding so he entered the dining room after the manner of a retiring governor of Massachusetts walking down the state house steps—all alone. The ladies received--red carnations, and the ice cream.had a. pink Cupid heart in the center. The Show Opens The show opened when Highfield Johnson, Dwight Harsh, Ward Mathie,. Russell Rudy and Mike Bennick. entered the dining room attired as pirates, including skull and cross-bones. Their faces resembled a sunset over Portage street extension about the time mother announces "supper is waiting," and the shorts they wore would make a Scotsman blush. They were made out of bed ticking. That is the shorts were, not the pirates.. O, yes, they carried knives, and they wore regulation pirate handkerchiefs around their necks and upper-deck patent leather boots.
