Carson He Believes In Christmas Clubs, In Doing a Thing When It Should Be Done, and In Boosting the Town You Live In. BRINGS HOME THE BACON Logan Becher, Mayor of North Canton, believes in the doctrines of Preparedness and Go-Do-It. He declares that the great Napoleon had the right idea, "No ifs in my vocabulary," and he sees no reason why lesser lights than Nap shouldn't adopt the same rule. "Hopping to it not only brings home the bacon but it keeps a supply of grease on hand to fry the fish," remarked Logan, as he wended his way through the snow to the Citizens' Building and Loan company office on South Main street on Monday. He was greeted cordially by "Ralph Young, the local manager, and then the philosophic Mayor made a deposit in the "Christmas Club," the first account on the books for 1925. Believes In Saving Asked by a writer for The Sun why he displayed such haste, Mr. Becher used the words quoted above and then continued; "I believe in Christmas clubs, and when I believe in a thing it is my policy to attend to it at once. If a street needs paving it is poor policy to wait until the whole neighborhood is wallowing in mud before starting the work, and once the work is begun it should be pushed to completion. Talking about doing a thing and then going to sleep never accomplished anything unless you tackled the job the first thing in the morning. "Christmas Clubs teach thrift, and as the father of children it is my duty to set them an example in saving. If a man neglects to save; neglects to carry life insurance, or neglects the obligation he owes to his town, his church, his work or his lodge he is a candidate for a room in that big brick building you see on the hill as you come out from Canton. You can't miss it if you look to the right, and many of the poor fellows inside of it didn't miss it either, because they thought the sun would be always shining and they didn't put aside enough money to buy an umbrella when the weather was clear. Prepare Now For 1925 "This December is a good time to prepare for next December, and a .sum of money in a bank drawing interest is a mighty fine thing to have coming to you around Christmas. You don't miss the few dimes or a couple of dollars each week or month, and the first thing you know it has grown to respectable proportions. I wish I could make everyone see the wisdom of saving. It would put a stop to a lot of misery in the world, and send sunshine into -hpmes where it is cloudy or dark. Saving is merely living up to your obligation as a citizen. "If you belong to a church you're supposed to have a creed—and live up to it. If you belong to a lodge you ' subscribe to it's creed. So at this Christmas season why not, a . Citizen's Creed, one that we can all subscribe to and carry out next year and the years following. Paste it in your hat and then see how faithfully you can live up to it: A Creed For Everybody I believe in North Canton and its possibilities, and I shall do my part to make it a better place in which to live. I believe in good government - for my home town and I shall assume my share of responsibility that rests on the shoulders of all our citizens. I believe in supporting all local enterprises that help community development, and I will contribute my moral support and energy to any movement for the best interest of the town. I believe in patronizing home merchants whenever I can for they are largely responsible for our having many comforts. I will boost my home town at every possible opportunity, and always speak a good word for it wherever I may be. I will do my part toward making it the best town in America—because it is ' my home town. "That is a Citizen's Creed we should stand by," said Mr. Becher. "At the same time it is well not to forget your old friends in the valley when you've reached the top of the hill.

A full attendance of all in primary and intermediate departments is requested. ZION REFORMED CHURCH [By the Pastor] Colds, whooping cough and bad weather cut our attendance in Sunday-school to 77 per cent. But we were glad for that, and we feel sure that only valid reason kept away those who did not come. The pastor spoke on "The prominence of Jesus" in the morning service, and on "Our Pedagogue's Task" in the evening. The Thanksgiving service in the Community Building, Thursday morning at 8 o'clock, was well attended and those who did attend found it a service worth while. We were glad to have the young people again of the Y. P. S. C. E. We hope to have real devotional meetings and we will do all in our power to make them so. But naturally we question, Why do not more of them stay for the evening church worship. Might it not bo well' to recall the pledge? The Sunday-school Board met on Monday evening. Some important things were considered. The prayer meeting held regularly on Wednesday evening, 7:30. Tho place of meeting, please note, is in the elementary room. Sunday-school next Sunday, as usual at 9. Morning church worship at 10. Next Sunday evening, at 7, the Woman's Missionary society will hold their annual Thank Offering service, when the Thank Offering pageant, "The Upward Trail," will be given. It is desired that all the Thank Offering boxes be brought in at that time. A large offering will be expected, which will go toward building a hospital in Yochow City, China. Everybody welcome. o CHRISTIAN CHURCH [By the Pastor] rWhat a difference its would make with the activities of life if every one -worked and lived in cheerful co: operation, with nature. Rejoicing in the turn of season, each with its own particular type of weather, and with each ciay with its various and constant change and mixture of sun and rain. After all in the extreme changes and manifold aspects of the temperate climate that opportunties to study and know nature. Opportunities that one does not have in the tropical or frigid zpnes. We are thrice blessed who live in a climate like this, where nature shows herself in all her moods. Why not allow a stormy Sunday to add to the glory of the day instead of driving one into hibernation, thus robbing one of the blessing of worship and nature, too. Why not on a stormy Sunday say with the poet, "When it rains, rain is what I want; so when it snows, snow is what I want." There were some glorious aspects to the beauties of nature on last Sunday. • , Christmas is drawing near and is being felt in the church plans. Already a committee is working on a Christ- Warm praise for the intelligence displayed by the residents of North Canton and its vicinity in combatting contagious diseases with such "vigor that they had little chance of securing a foothold hereabouts, and commendation of the water we drink were two of the outstanding features in the address of Dr. Peters, head of the Stark County Health Commission, before The Woman's Club at a regular meeting in the Community Building on Monday night. Miss Ethel Brown introduced the doctor to the audience, whose subject was "The Relation of the Individual to the Health Department." He talked of sanitation from the time it was first mentioned in the Old Testament to the present day, and he cited a number of facts to show that contagious diseases were allowed to spread owing to ignorance or indolence on the part of many people. But the public is becoming educated to the value of fighting disease at the start, with the result that in many communities it makes little or no headway, said Dr. Peters. The women followed his remarks closely, and it pleased them to know that they were helping to keep North Canton and its vicinity free from the reproach of "a disease laden section." To Conserve Christmas Trees During the business session the club accepted the" report of the conservation department of the Federated Clubs of Ohio and agreed not to use Christmas trees in the future. President Coolidge has requested the Federated Clubs to take this matter up and urge that holly and Christmas trees be saved, and that only nursery stock be used instead of those of natural growth. To Hold Baby Conference Reports from the standing committees showed much work has been accomplished. It was decided that some time after January the baby conference should be held and that this conference should include children of pre-school age. A money-making project is thought advisable shortly after the holidays. To Observe Christmas How to observe Christmas as a club was decided and on Saturday before Christmas individual contributions will be made by club members and these contributions will be wisely distributed by a committee of three. In The Sun of next week will appear a list of articles needed for distribution; Mrs. Newton at Piano Mrs. Newton of Portage street played two piano solos and previous to each gave a description of the message the composer meant to convey by his composition, and as played her hearers were well aware that she caught the composer's every meaning and her interpretation was' that of an artist. Miss Charlotte Smith gave a reading from/memory, humorous and entertaining, and she received much applause. Mrs. R. C. Willigmann welcomed the school teachers who were invited to become honorary members of the club and Miss Finney responded. Both ladies were happy speakers. mas program. Let's get into this spirit in time to get its largest blessing. ' The church remodeling processes continue with encouragement and spirit. We are convinced that we are going to have a decidedly improved building, with larger educational facilities as well as improved facilities for worship. Committtees are at work soliciting or registering the subscriptions to meet the expense. You will be seen in the near future. Service will follow the regular order: Sunday-school 9:00 a. m.

North Canton Post has set as its goal 100 members by February 12, 1925. Join now and help the Legion meet its objective. Ohio, it is said, has fallen down in the past on membership, and each post is expected to do its duty and bring this good old loyal state to the front in 1925. Maurine Foster Will Lead On Sunday Night, December 7. AROUND OHIO FARMS Twenty-four Ohio farm boys and girls, members of junior farm clubs, are representing Ohio's younger generation at the International Livestock Exposition at.Chicago this week. Ohio's pig crop last spring was about 14 per cent, less than a year ago last spring, a recent survey indicates. MARY PICKFORD IN "DOROTHY VERNON" Star Cast of Players In Her Support At the Community Building, Friday Night—Prices Advanced For This Big Picture. IS FILLED WITH ACTION The management of the Community Building announces that Mary Pick- ford in "Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall" is the big feature for Friday night. This latest United Artists release, which was directed by Marshall Neilan, includes Allan Forrest, Clare Eames, Marc MacDermott, Wilfred Lucas, Lottie Pickford Forrest, Estelle Taylor, Anders Randolf, Eric Mayne and Malcolm Waite in the cast. The screen story is an adaption from the novel by the same name by Charles Major. This is beyond question Mary Pick- ford's greatest role and it niust be acknowledged that she has the support of several of the greatest actors now on the screen. It is a high- priced picture and the Community Building had to pay a good round sum to get it to North Canton. As a result of having to pay so much more for it than for the average picture it stands to reason that the prices of admission must be advanced if the C. B. management is to clear expenses. For adults 50 cents will be charged and children have the privilege of seeing the play for 20 cents. In the cities they are asking, and getting, too, $1.50 and $1 a seat. So as a matter of truth, the patrons of the Community Building have a chance to see Mary Pickford in "Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall" for half, or less than half, the price charged elsewhere. It is not necessary for The Sun to go into details. It is a great play, but let Mary tell in her own way what she thinks of the role she is starring in: As Mary Sees Dorothy "I have tried to make 'Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall' such an interesting human story, that you see the costumes only as a natural background. It is true that we have garbed it elaborately, and the settings are magnificent to a degree; nevertheless, they are never overdrawn—never Capt. Joseph Jackson, United States marine corps, and a member of the Pan-American rifle team, broke a world record, scoring 100 consecutive cartons and 900 points, In the Pan- American master riflemen's match. His score beat by 4 cartons tiie record made by Captain Richard at Camp Perry In 1033. At a distance of 328 yards Captain Jackson pluced 100 consecutive shots in a 10-inch circle, only 4 of the shots being out of the 12-inch circle. anything but secondary to the importance of the story. "I hope 'Dorothy Vernon' will make your wife remember the time you told her she was the only woman in the world and make you hold her hand while she's remembering it. "Throughout the play Dorothy is first of all a real human girl. The fact that she lived in Haddon Hall before the day of bobbed hair and jazz is only an incident that lends dignity to the background, but certainly takes no humanness from the story. After all, you know, a young woman of spirit in Kankakee in 1924 is the same at heart as a young woman in Leicestershire in 1724." OFFICIALS PREPARE FOR TOWN'S NEEDS To Appoint a Street Commissioner at $1800 a Year—May Buy Snow Sweeper—Give Fire Department Three Drivers. SAFETY ZONE AT SCHOOL LEGION AUXILIARY Mrs. E. J. Herbruck Elected To Fill President's Chair. The American Legion Auxiliary at its meeting on Thursday evening named the following officers to serve for the coming year: President, Mrs. E. J. Herbruck. Vice-President, Miss Hazel Warburton. Secretary, Miss Eva Forney. Treasurer, Mrs. S. W. Gray. Historian, Mrs. Walter Warburton. Chaplain, Mrs. L. G. Schrantz. Executive Committee, Mrs. Forest Oberlin, Mrs. Anna Ebie, Mrs. Lester Braucher, Miss Clara Mae Gross, Miss Genevieve Dieble. To Hold Sale Plans were completed for a bazaar and bake sale in the township house on Saturday, Dec. 6, at 10 o'clock, when a large number of articles will be offered to the public, many of them just the thing people need for Christmas. Indisputable evidence of the steady growth of North Canton was shown during the meeting of Council on Monday night, and while the Mayor and the Councilmen are not breaking their necks in adopting every suggestion offered, they must be given credit for giving each suggestion careful thought. As one member put it, "We are here to give the people what they want, provided it will benefit the town as a whole, but we are not going to rush into a thing and theft regret our hasty action." To Look After Streets So when the question of keeping the streets in A 1 condition was again brought to the front every member was posted. During the discussion it was shown that a full-time working street commissioner was what the town needed, and an ordinance to amend section 83 of the revised ordinances was passed authorizing the employment of a commissioner at a salary of $1800 per year, payable semi-monthly. A snow sweeper and plow to be at- ' tached to the grader was another subject that received earnest consideration and it will be discussed at the next meeting. TRe Mayor said he would put it up to the street and alley committee to look after the cleaning of sidewalks and crossings, and he felt confident the members would have something worth while to propose after they had investigated the matter of a sweeper and plow. Fire Department Needs / The Fire Department, especially at this season of the year, has its mind on rush calls, so Council recommended that Chief Joe Smith be given three men to drive the trucks. This means that the chief will never be short a driver. To Protect Children Councilman Storch reported that safety signs had been placed at the school buildings, and that the children would be given all necessary protection from automobiles. The subject of taking care of the pupils on the highways is one very close to the hearts of the town's officials, and is one of the reasons why speed fiends going through North Canton are made to understand that this is neither a hick town nor a race course. To Clean Catch Basins The sewer committee announced that Rudy De Paris will clean all the catch basins. Police Judge's Report The report of Police Justice J. J. Snyder for the month of November showed that fourteen persons had been arrested for violating the town's ordinances and that the fines amounted to $310.40. HAD A GOOD TIME Odd Fellows and K. of P. Enjoy Life According To Hoyle. BOWLING LEAGUE By L. J. FRANCE CHAPLIN AND LEADING LADY WERE MARRIED IN MEXICO Loyalty Lodge, K. of P., were real j hosts to the forty or more Odd Fel-' lows of Greentown who were their ■ guests on Wednesday evening last.; Euchre was the game and the K. of j P.'s won the score, which stood 116 to 84, for the first time in several • years. The social spirit that pervaded the meeting was splendid. The luncheon was cafeteria and as the guests filed past the luncheon table they found buns, weiners, rye bread, cheese, goose liver sausage, onions, celery, coffee and cigars. The Odd Fellows are blaming "Bill" Fillhour and"Ben" Stayer for their low score as neither man scored a point, according to report. But the two Bees are not worrying. They say they got plenty of fun out of the visit, and they didn't want to hog everything. "Live and let live" is my motto, said one of the B's, "and it may be that I was a little slow in starting in, thinking I could catch up later. I'm taking the blame for tho other B, so let it go at that. Yes, we had a grand time. Even the cigars were good, which is not often the case at public receptions." Senior Christian Endeavor will meet in the Reformed church at 6 o'clock! on Sunday evening, Dec. 7. Maurine Foster is leader and her topic is j "Forgiveness." This is consecration j night and the offering goes to the mission work, so come prepared.

Everybody welcome. o CHRISTIAN CHURCH [By the Pastor] rWhat a difference its would make with the activities of life if every one -worked and lived in cheerful co: operation, with nature. Rejoicing in the turn of season, each with its own particular type of weather, and with each ciay with its various and constant change and mixture of sun and rain. After all in the extreme changes and manifold aspects of the temperate climate that opportunties to study and know nature. Opportunities that one does not have in the tropical or frigid zpnes. We are thrice blessed who live in a climate like this, where nature shows herself in all her moods. Why not allow a stormy Sunday to add to the glory of the day instead of driving one into hibernation, thus robbing one of the blessing of worship and nature, too. Why not on a stormy Sunday say with the poet, "When it rains, rain is what I want; so when it snows, snow is what I want." There were some glorious aspects to the beauties of nature on last Sunday. • , Christmas is drawing near and is being felt in the church plans. Already a committee is working on a Christ- Warm praise for the intelligence displayed by the residents of North Canton and its vicinity in combatting contagious diseases with such "vigor that they had little chance of securing a foothold hereabouts, and commendation of the water we drink were two of the outstanding features in the address of Dr. Peters, head of the Stark County Health Commission, before The Woman's Club at a regular meeting in the Community Building on Monday night. Miss Ethel Brown introduced the doctor to the audience, whose subject was "The Relation of the Individual to the Health Department." He talked of sanitation from the time it was first mentioned in the Old Testament to the present day, and he cited a number of facts to show that contagious diseases were allowed to spread owing to ignorance or indolence on the part of many people. But the public is becoming educated to the value of fighting disease at the start, with the result that in many communities it makes little or no headway, said Dr. Peters. The women followed his remarks closely, and it pleased them to know that they were helping to keep North Canton and its vicinity free from the reproach of "a disease laden section." To Conserve Christmas Trees During the business session the club accepted the" report of the conservation department of the Federated Clubs of Ohio and agreed not to use Christmas trees in the future. President Coolidge has requested the Federated Clubs to take this matter up and urge that holly and Christmas trees be saved, and that only nursery stock be used instead of those of natural growth. To Hold Baby Conference Reports from the standing committees showed much work has been accomplished. It was decided that some time after January the baby conference should be held and that this conference should include children of pre-school age. A money-making project is thought advisable shortly after the holidays. To Observe Christmas How to observe Christmas as a club was decided and on Saturday before Christmas individual contributions will be made by club members and these contributions will be wisely distributed by a committee of three. In The Sun of next week will appear a list of articles needed for distribution; Mrs. Newton at Piano Mrs. Newton of Portage street played two piano solos and previous to each gave a description of the message the composer meant to convey by his composition, and as played her hearers were well aware that she caught the composer's every meaning and her interpretation was' that of an artist. Miss Charlotte Smith gave a reading from/memory, humorous and entertaining, and she received much applause. Mrs. R. C. Willigmann welcomed the school teachers who were invited to become honorary members of the club and Miss Finney responded. Both ladies were happy speakers. mas program. Let's get into this spirit in time to get its largest blessing. ' The church remodeling processes continue with encouragement and spirit. We are convinced that we are going to have a decidedly improved building, with larger educational facilities as well as improved facilities for worship.

AROUND OHIO FARMS Twenty-four Ohio farm boys and girls, members of junior farm clubs, are representing Ohio's younger generation at the International Livestock Exposition at.Chicago this week.

MARY PICKFORD IN "DOROTHY VERNON" Star Cast of Players In Her Support At the Community Building, Friday Night—Prices Advanced For This Big Picture. IS FILLED WITH ACTION The management of the Community Building announces that Mary Pick- ford in "Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall" is the big feature for Friday night. This latest United Artists release, which was directed by Marshall Neilan, includes Allan Forrest, Clare Eames, Marc MacDermott, Wilfred Lucas, Lottie Pickford Forrest, Estelle Taylor, Anders Randolf, Eric Mayne and Malcolm Waite in the cast. The screen story is an adaption from the novel by the same name by Charles Major. This is beyond question Mary Pick- ford's greatest role and it niust be acknowledged that she has the support of several of the greatest actors now on the screen. It is a high- priced picture and the Community Building had to pay a good round sum to get it to North Canton. As a result of having to pay so much more for it than for the average picture it stands to reason that the prices of admission must be advanced if the C. B. management is to clear expenses. For adults 50 cents will be charged and children have the privilege of seeing the play for 20 cents. In the cities they are asking, and getting, too, $1.50 and $1 a seat. So as a matter of truth, the patrons of the Community Building have a chance to see Mary Pickford in "Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall" for half, or less than half, the price charged elsewhere. It is not necessary for The Sun to go into details. It is a great play, but let Mary tell in her own way what she thinks of the role she is starring in: As Mary Sees Dorothy "I have tried to make 'Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall' such an interesting human story, that you see the costumes only as a natural background. It is true that we have garbed it elaborately, and the settings are magnificent to a degree; nevertheless, they are never overdrawn—never Capt. Joseph Jackson, United States marine corps, and a member of the Pan-American rifle team, broke a world record, scoring 100 consecutive cartons and 900 points, In the Pan- American master riflemen's match. His score beat by 4 cartons tiie record made by Captain Richard at Camp Perry In 1033. At a distance of 328 yards Captain Jackson pluced 100 consecutive shots in a 10-inch circle, only 4 of the shots being out of the 12-inch circle. anything but secondary to the importance of the story. "I hope 'Dorothy Vernon' will make your wife remember the time you told her she was the only woman in the world and make you hold her hand while she's remembering it. "Throughout the play Dorothy is first of all a real human girl. The fact that she lived in Haddon Hall before the day of bobbed hair and jazz is only an incident that lends dignity to the background, but certainly takes no humanness from the story. After all, you know, a young woman of spirit in Kankakee in 1924 is the same at heart as a young woman in Leicestershire in 1724." OFFICIALS PREPARE FOR TOWN'S NEEDS To Appoint a Street Commissioner at $1800 a Year—May Buy Snow Sweeper—Give Fire Department Three Drivers. SAFETY ZONE AT SCHOOL LEGION AUXILIARY Mrs. E. J. Herbruck Elected To Fill President's Chair. The American Legion Auxiliary at its meeting on Thursday evening named the following officers to serve for the coming year: President, Mrs. E. J. Herbruck. Vice-President, Miss Hazel Warburton. Secretary, Miss Eva Forney. Treasurer, Mrs. S. W. Gray. Historian, Mrs. Walter Warburton. Chaplain, Mrs. L. G. Schrantz. Executive Committee, Mrs. Forest Oberlin, Mrs. Anna Ebie, Mrs. Lester Braucher, Miss Clara Mae Gross, Miss Genevieve Dieble. To Hold Sale Plans were completed for a bazaar and bake sale in the township house on Saturday, Dec. 6, at 10 o'clock, when a large number of articles will be offered to the public, many of them just the thing people need for Christmas. Indisputable evidence of the steady growth of North Canton was shown during the meeting of Council on Monday night, and while the Mayor and the Councilmen are not breaking their necks in adopting every suggestion offered, they must be given credit for giving each suggestion careful thought. As one member put it, "We are here to give the people what they want, provided it will benefit the town as a whole, but we are not going to rush into a thing and theft regret our hasty action." To Look After Streets So when the question of keeping the streets in A 1 condition was again brought to the front every member was posted. During the discussion it was shown that a full-time working street commissioner was what the town needed, and an ordinance to amend section 83 of the revised ordinances was passed authorizing the employment of a commissioner at a salary of $1800 per year, payable semi-monthly. A snow sweeper and plow to be at- ' tached to the grader was another subject that received earnest consideration and it will be discussed at the next meeting. TRe Mayor said he would put it up to the street and alley committee to look after the cleaning of sidewalks and crossings, and he felt confident the members would have something worth while to propose after they had investigated the matter of a sweeper and plow. Fire Department Needs / The Fire Department, especially at this season of the year, has its mind on rush calls, so Council recommended that Chief Joe Smith be given three men to drive the trucks. This means that the chief will never be short a driver. To Protect Children Councilman Storch reported that safety signs had been placed at the school buildings, and that the children would be given all necessary protection from automobiles. The subject of taking care of the pupils on the highways is one very close to the hearts of the town's officials, and is one of the reasons why speed fiends going through North Canton are made to understand that this is neither a hick town nor a race course. To Clean Catch Basins The sewer committee announced that Rudy De Paris will clean all the catch basins. Police Judge's Report The report of Police Justice J. J. Snyder for the month of November showed that fourteen persons had been arrested for violating the town's ordinances and that the fines amounted to $310.40. HAD A GOOD TIME Odd Fellows and K. of P. Enjoy Life According To Hoyle. BOWLING LEAGUE By L. J. FRANCE CHAPLIN AND LEADING LADY WERE MARRIED IN MEXICO Loyalty Lodge, K. of P., were real j hosts to the forty or more Odd Fel-' lows of Greentown who were their ■ guests on Wednesday evening last.; Euchre was the game and the K. of j P.'s won the score, which stood 116 to 84, for the first time in several • years. The social spirit that pervaded the meeting was splendid. The luncheon was cafeteria and as the guests filed past the luncheon table they found buns, weiners, rye bread, cheese, goose liver sausage, onions, celery, coffee and cigars. The Odd Fellows are blaming "Bill" Fillhour and"Ben" Stayer for their low score as neither man scored a point, according to report. But the two Bees are not worrying. They say they got plenty of fun out of the visit, and they didn't want to hog everything. "Live and let live" is my motto, said one of the B's, "and it may be that I was a little slow in starting in, thinking I could catch up later. I'm taking the blame for tho other B, so let it go at that. Yes, we had a grand time. Even the cigars were good, which is not often the case at public receptions."
