HAGER Kinney Home Damaged by Fire North Canton Department Answers Alarm on Harrisburg Rd Fire early Tuesday afternoon completely ruined the kitchen at the George A. Kinney home on the Har- risburg-Alliance road causing an estimated damage of several hundred dollars. Firemen are at a loss to account for the blaze other than resulting when the side of an aluminum cooking utensil melted and allowed hot grease to set fire to the floor and then work its way up the wall near the stove. Mrs. Kinney had left the kettle on j the stove and then gone upstairs for a short nap but when she awoke found the house filled with smoke. She jumped from the upstairs window and struck a brick support surrounding a window pit and injured her ankles. She was taken to Mercy hospital for treatment and then discharged. When Jocal firemen answered the alarm, flames had spread up the walls and eaten into the joists thence breaking out on the porch roof. Prior to their arrival neighbors battled the flames but to no avail. Firemen re-1 ported the loss would have been much greater had there been a draft but fortunately all windows and doors were closed until the fire was discovered. Heat was' so intense in the kitchen that a loaf of bread setting on the table midway in the room was toasted black through and through and the telephone receiver hanging on the wall opposite the stove had melted. The kitchen interior was entirely razzed, the plaster having fallen from walls and ceiling and most of the furnishings throughout the house were black from smoke. o Woman's Club Has New Members Appreciates Cooperation in Staging Memorial Day Services American Legion post extends their thanks to Scoutmaster Charles Smith of Troop 1, H.

Have Narrow Escape From Seridusl Injury Two Car Crash Involves Several North Canton Youths Several North Cantpn youths had a narrow escape from serious injury Friday afternoon when, the two cars in which they were riding were involved in an accident in front of the F. L. Hoare home on Portage street. The two cars were enroute to Canal Fulton where they were to drive through that community calling attention to the Band carnival being held in North Canton. A few of the school youth were riding on the outside of the cars both on the fenders and running board. The leading car was brought to a stop near the Hoare home as the driver insisted that those outside get inside. No sooner had they complied with his request by starling to get into the car, when the second car came around the curve and crashed into it. The. operator of the second car revealed he had applied brakes but that the slippery pavement prevented him from stopping with the resulting crash which knocked the parked car into a nearby telephone pole. Two girls, riding on the fenders of the moving vehicle, jumped when they saw the crash was unavoidable and thus saved themselveB from more serious injury. Injuries for the most part were confined to sprains and bruises although one girl suffered a dislocation in her arm. Reelect Greentown Superintendent W. C. Hushour Rehired After Lengthy Board Meeting Greentown Board of Education met Monday evening to discuss the hiring of teachers for the next school year and renamed W. C. Houshour as superintendent after a heated discussion in which one member resigned his position. There had been some agitation to prevent his- reappointment but the townspeople took up his fight and presented the board with a petition with 440 names advocating his return as superintendent. The petition was presented to the board by Malcom Shook. The vote at first was against Mr. Hushour but when one member's resignation was accepted and Lester Bishop nominated and elected to fill the vacancy the application was reread and the board moved and seconded his rehiring. Evalyn Miller, Adalyn Richards, R. J. Myers, Lillian Witwer, R. W. Coyle, Phyllis Banter, Ralph Pontius, P. K. Shaffer, and Virginia Wagner were rehired as instructors. A. W. Silverstein will again be in charge of the high school band and orchestra. ?1.50 PER YEAR. 15 From Here Make Annual Capitol Trip Fourteen Day Education Tour To Cover Historic Places in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Mary' land and W.

Williams received a telegram early Wednesday morning advising him of the safe arrival at Elizabeth, N. J., of the group of boys who left Monday for a week's stay at the World's fair.

Arnold, 50, Sunday, from a heart attack following a brief illness, at his home in Claysville, Pa. The eldest son of Mr. and Mrs, J. L. Arnold of Canton, he had been a funeral director in North Canton prior to 1918 when he sold his business and entered the employe of the Hoover company in the sales department. Services were held .Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 J5. jn. in the J. L. Arnold and sons parlors in charge of the Rev. R. W. Blemker. Burial was made in Westlawn cemetery. Besides his parents he is survived by his widow, Mrs. Anna L. Arnold; a sister, Miss Hilda F. Arnold, three brothers, Carl P. Arnold, Herman A. Arnold, and Franklin J. Arnold all of Canton. Word has been received from the State department at Washington by the Rev. and Mrs. M. E. Beck that a cousin, the Rev. Edwin Beck has been located near Yo Yang in China, a virtual prisoner in the church compound. There had been no news from Reverend Beck since November 29 and all efforts to contact him met with failure until just recently when the American consul was notified of his whereabouts and in turn cabled Cordell Hull, secretary of state. According to what little information has been gleaned Reverend Beck and the 50 Chinese who are confined with him were without food for. quite some time since no one could either get in or out of the compound due to the heavy Japanese guard. However, along with the cable came news that he is being cared for by a Japanese doctor. Yo Yang was completely destroyed by the Japanese and the Rev. Mr. Beck witnessed the destruction from a location four miles from the city. The city is deserted. The place where the missionary ls confined is about 300 miles from Hankow at the headwaters of the Yangtze river and quite inaccessible which 'made it difficult to establish connections with the beleaguered party. - How long they will be confined-to the compound is not definitely known but it is thought they will have no opportunity to leave ui»til the war is over. -O—• — Marchand Active at John Carroll Given Scholarship to Cincinnati U to Follow Medicine BILL UHRICH "HOME INVESTED AS SCOUTS Richard Studer and Harold Haverstock were admitted into Scout Troop No. 1 at an investiture service held Thursday evening at the home of C.

At Carroll he joined the Glee club, the Sodality, and the Scientific academy as a freshman. Threatening weather failed to dampen the ardor of an overwhelming crowd which attended the two night band carnival sponsored by the North Canton School Band association at the high school grounds Friday and Saturday. Six bands including North Canton appeared in concert during the two evenings. Canal Fulton, Hartville, and the local contingent played for the entertainment on Friday evening and Greentown, Louisville, Middle- branch, and North Canton filled out the musical portion of the festivities on the succeeding _ evening. In case there were complaints of sore arma on the part of some of the older members of the community these can be traced directly back to the baseball throwing stand operated by the Eagles lodge. On both evenings there were plenty of chuckers trying to "spill the milk". There were high, low, wide, fast, and slow balls hurled at the bottles by both young and old but it took the youngsters to show their elders how it was done. Time after time an older person would throw as hard as possible and maybe get them all down but one or two. Then up would step a youngster whom you think couldn't knock over a toothpick and blooey, over went the bottles on the first throw. Bands Well Received The various stands were scattered around the outside edge of the grounds while the band stand was given the central spot in the center. As each number was concluded by the various bands the applause was loud and long as the youthful musicians gave out with*all they had mixing up their numbers skillfully. Of course, each band had its followers from the home town but it didn't prevent those whose turn was coming up from also joining in the applause for it was just one big happy family out to entertain the crowd. On Saturday it appeared for a while that rain was going to force those in charge to take the carnival inside. However, shortly before 6 p. m. the clouds began to break and a few minutes later the sun was shining through to brighten the hopes of everyone. Less than an hour later people were beginning to congregate on the grounds and the evening's fun was started. Stands were kept busy throughout the night dishing out noodle soup, chili, "sandwiches, ice cream, neanuts, coffee, crackerjack, ■in fact everything that is generally associated with the' eating side of a carnival. Even after the bands had concluded their part in the program people remained on the grounds and it was after 2 a. m, in the morning before the last vestiges of the carnival, namely dishes, etc. were finally cleaned up. Gifts were distributed to those at-1 tending on both evenings with the | grand awards being made on Saturday. All were on display at a stand on the east side of the grounds. The radio was awarded to Ralph Taylor while the grand award, a Hoover sweeper, now graces the home of Mrs. Minnie Stahler of Newcomerstown. Children Have Fun Also The youngsters also came in for their share' of fun during the two nights keeping members of the Junior Woman's club busy as they clamored around the fish pond. The committees in charge .of the va/ious booths and those who made thj; arrangements declared the entire venture a success and were well i satisfied with the turnout and wish to thank all the merchants who cooperated in any way toward the success of the carnival. The School Band association also wishes to thank everyone and extends an invitation to anyone so interested to join the association and help promote the interests of the band. Proceeds from the carnival will bo used to help the payments on the uni- j forms purchased for the band.

The speaker stated there were more than 40,000 scouting units in the United States with more than 1,300,- 000 scouts enrolled. The units are 40 per cent sponsored by churches since they look upon scouting as a helpful aid in the youth problem.

HAGER Kinney Home Damaged by Fire North Canton Department Answers Alarm on Harrisburg Rd Fire early Tuesday afternoon completely ruined the kitchen at the George A. Kinney home on the Har- risburg-Alliance road causing an estimated damage of several hundred dollars. Firemen are at a loss to account for the blaze other than resulting when the side of an aluminum cooking utensil melted and allowed hot grease to set fire to the floor and then work its way up the wall near the stove. Mrs. Kinney had left the kettle on j the stove and then gone upstairs for a short nap but when she awoke found the house filled with smoke. She jumped from the upstairs window and struck a brick support surrounding a window pit and injured her ankles. She was taken to Mercy hospital for treatment and then discharged. When Jocal firemen answered the alarm, flames had spread up the walls and eaten into the joists thence breaking out on the porch roof. Prior to their arrival neighbors battled the flames but to no avail. Firemen re-1 ported the loss would have been much greater had there been a draft but fortunately all windows and doors were closed until the fire was discovered. Heat was' so intense in the kitchen that a loaf of bread setting on the table midway in the room was toasted black through and through and the telephone receiver hanging on the wall opposite the stove had melted. The kitchen interior was entirely razzed, the plaster having fallen from walls and ceiling and most of the furnishings throughout the house were black from smoke. o Woman's Club Has New Members Appreciates Cooperation in Staging Memorial Day Services American Legion post extends their thanks to Scoutmaster Charles Smith of Troop 1, H.

Have Narrow Escape From Seridusl Injury Two Car Crash Involves Several North Canton Youths Several North Cantpn youths had a narrow escape from serious injury Friday afternoon when, the two cars in which they were riding were involved in an accident in front of the F. L. Hoare home on Portage street. The two cars were enroute to Canal Fulton where they were to drive through that community calling attention to the Band carnival being held in North Canton. A few of the school youth were riding on the outside of the cars both on the fenders and running board. The leading car was brought to a stop near the Hoare home as the driver insisted that those outside get inside. No sooner had they complied with his request by starling to get into the car, when the second car came around the curve and crashed into it. The. operator of the second car revealed he had applied brakes but that the slippery pavement prevented him from stopping with the resulting crash which knocked the parked car into a nearby telephone pole. Two girls, riding on the fenders of the moving vehicle, jumped when they saw the crash was unavoidable and thus saved themselveB from more serious injury. Injuries for the most part were confined to sprains and bruises although one girl suffered a dislocation in her arm. Reelect Greentown Superintendent W. C. Hushour Rehired After Lengthy Board Meeting Greentown Board of Education met Monday evening to discuss the hiring of teachers for the next school year and renamed W. C.

Williams received a telegram early Wednesday morning advising him of the safe arrival at Elizabeth, N. J., of the group of boys who left Monday for a week's stay at the World's fair.

Arnold, 50, Sunday, from a heart attack following a brief illness, at his home in Claysville, Pa. The eldest son of Mr. and Mrs, J. L. Arnold of Canton, he had been a funeral director in North Canton prior to 1918 when he sold his business and entered the employe of the Hoover company in the sales department.

Besides his parents he is survived by his widow, Mrs. Anna L. Arnold; a sister, Miss Hilda F. Arnold, three brothers, Carl P. Arnold, Herman A. Arnold, and Franklin J. Arnold all of Canton. Word has been received from the State department at Washington by the Rev. and Mrs. M. E. Beck that a cousin, the Rev. Edwin Beck has been located near Yo Yang in China, a virtual prisoner in the church compound. There had been no news from Reverend Beck since November 29 and all efforts to contact him met with failure until just recently when the American consul was notified of his whereabouts and in turn cabled Cordell Hull, secretary of state. According to what little information has been gleaned Reverend Beck and the 50 Chinese who are confined with him were without food for. quite some time since no one could either get in or out of the compound due to the heavy Japanese guard. However, along with the cable came news that he is being cared for by a Japanese doctor. Yo Yang was completely destroyed by the Japanese and the Rev. Mr. Beck witnessed the destruction from a location four miles from the city. The city is deserted. The place where the missionary ls confined is about 300 miles from Hankow at the headwaters of the Yangtze river and quite inaccessible which 'made it difficult to establish connections with the beleaguered party. - How long they will be confined-to the compound is not definitely known but it is thought they will have no opportunity to leave ui»til the war is over. -O—• — Marchand Active at John Carroll Given Scholarship to Cincinnati U to Follow Medicine BILL UHRICH "HOME INVESTED AS SCOUTS Richard Studer and Harold Haverstock were admitted into Scout Troop No. 1 at an investiture service held Thursday evening at the home of C.

Threatening weather failed to dampen the ardor of an overwhelming crowd which attended the two night band carnival sponsored by the North Canton School Band association at the high school grounds Friday and Saturday. Six bands including North Canton appeared in concert during the two evenings. Canal Fulton, Hartville, and the local contingent played for the entertainment on Friday evening and Greentown, Louisville, Middle- branch, and North Canton filled out the musical portion of the festivities on the succeeding _ evening. In case there were complaints of sore arma on the part of some of the older members of the community these can be traced directly back to the baseball throwing stand operated by the Eagles lodge. On both evenings there were plenty of chuckers trying to "spill the milk". There were high, low, wide, fast, and slow balls hurled at the bottles by both young and old but it took the youngsters to show their elders how it was done. Time after time an older person would throw as hard as possible and maybe get them all down but one or two. Then up would step a youngster whom you think couldn't knock over a toothpick and blooey, over went the bottles on the first throw. Bands Well Received The various stands were scattered around the outside edge of the grounds while the band stand was given the central spot in the center. As each number was concluded by the various bands the applause was loud and long as the youthful musicians gave out with*all they had mixing up their numbers skillfully. Of course, each band had its followers from the home town but it didn't prevent those whose turn was coming up from also joining in the applause for it was just one big happy family out to entertain the crowd. On Saturday it appeared for a while that rain was going to force those in charge to take the carnival inside. However, shortly before 6 p. m. the clouds began to break and a few minutes later the sun was shining through to brighten the hopes of everyone. Less than an hour later people were beginning to congregate on the grounds and the evening's fun was started. Stands were kept busy throughout the night dishing out noodle soup, chili, "sandwiches, ice cream, neanuts, coffee, crackerjack, ■in fact everything that is generally associated with the' eating side of a carnival. Even after the bands had concluded their part in the program people remained on the grounds and it was after 2 a. m, in the morning before the last vestiges of the carnival, namely dishes, etc. were finally cleaned up. Gifts were distributed to those at-1 tending on both evenings with the | grand awards being made on Saturday. All were on display at a stand on the east side of the grounds. The radio was awarded to Ralph Taylor while the grand award, a Hoover sweeper, now graces the home of Mrs. Minnie Stahler of Newcomerstown. Children Have Fun Also The youngsters also came in for their share' of fun during the two nights keeping members of the Junior Woman's club busy as they clamored around the fish pond. The committees in charge .of the va/ious booths and those who made thj; arrangements declared the entire venture a success and were well i satisfied with the turnout and wish to thank all the merchants who cooperated in any way toward the success of the carnival. The School Band association also wishes to thank everyone and extends an invitation to anyone so interested to join the association and help promote the interests of the band. Proceeds from the carnival will bo used to help the payments on the uni- j forms purchased for the band.
