Politicians, for reasons of their own. have omitted from the Cook Count,· coalition ticket the names of Judge Charles l\I. ThemVote for son of \Yinnetka, Jndge Osra r ::\I. Independent Torrison of . E,·_ Jud anston, and Judge ges Frank Johnston. Jr. These men are now on the bench and have· long and highly honorable records. In a recent vote ca t by members of the Bar Association {or the 20 judges who arc tc be elected at this coming election these three judges were among the top 15. IVIoreovcr. the three candidates sub st ituted by the bosses for Judges Thomson, Torrison and Juhnston were persons ,of absolutely no · judicial experience at1d far below the latter three in the Bar rating. The elimination of these capable judges from the list of regular candidates defeats the very purpose for which the bi-partisan coalition ticket '\Yas formed, which was tu take the judiciary out of politi.Gs. This mo\'e of the political machine brings the judiciary. under this malign influence. Judges Thomson, Ton·ison and Johnstun will be on the ticket as independent candidates. North shore citizens are urged on Tune 6 to cast their votes for these worthY ;nen and thus not only help to elect thus-e who are an honor to the bench but al~u to !>lock effectually the interference of poli. tirians with the administration of justice. Discussion often arises as to the proper manner of di splaying the Flag. In recent Years a conference was held in \Ya shing. ton under the auspice~ of How to the American Legion to draft an authentic cude Display Flag of Flag etiquette. The following r u 1 c s are drawn from thi s code. "The Flag sho~tld be displayed only frum sunrise to sunset, or between such hour s as may be designated by proper authorities. "\Vhen the Flag is displayed from a staff . projecting horizontally or at an angle from the window sill, balcony, or building, the union of the Flag (the rectangle containing the stars) should go clear to the peak of the ~taff. The same usage should be followed if the Flag is on a rope stretched from a building to a tree or vertical pole. "\Yhen displayed either Yertically or hori zontally against a wal1, the union should he uppermost and to the observer's left. "\Vhen displayed OYer the middle of the street, the Flag should be suspended verticalh· with the union to the north in an east an(f west street, or' to the ea st in a north and south street. "On Memorial Day the l~"lag is displayed at half-staff from sunrise until noon, and at full staff noon until sunset. "Do not let the Flag touch the ground ur the floor. "Do not use the Flag a~ dr~pcry in anl .form what soever. ~ "\\'hen the Flag is displayed on a mutt>r car tl;e staff should be affixed firmh· to the ' chassis or clamped to the radiator cap. "Do not put lettering oi any kind upon the Flag. "Do n ot use the Flag in any form of advertising. "The Nation lives, a nd th e Flag is a ~nn hol nf the livin g Nation." Sure Iy it cannot he j n s t 1 y ~a i<1 t ha t t h t' churches make no attempt tu adju:::t their hours to suit the ·de sires and needs of their membeL. By beginning the chur ch scn·icc at Accommodating about 11 in the morn ing; th e churches ha YC for years given people plenty of t.ime tu sle ep on Sunday morning.

The sermon is now not by any means so long as it used 1\.) he. The old idea seemed to he that the greater the quantity of church attendance the better for the attencler. But in yen· modern times, when it is reallY belieY.ecl that the Sabbath was made fo~ man and not Yi~e Yersa. much is done t1 ) make church going· fairly easy. One striking exan1ple of this willingness to he accommodating is the recent in stituti ng of at~ 8:15- tnorning church ser\'ice in the \\' il mette Congregational church. The pastor of this church is tn be thank l'd hy the member~ uf his flock for havin <)' g iYe;1 evidenc e in so decided a way of hi:-; willingness to co-ope rate with then1 in mak ing Sunday a day of hoth ~p iritual and physical r ecreation. Shall we still put safety first? Did Lucky Lindbergh smash that old slogan to L!ls when he hopped across the pond? \Vhen he lit out so suddenly, \\'ithout Safety warning, when he fle"· alone, when he carried almost nothing First? that \\'Ould saye him frotn a watery grave, in case he was forced down, when he t.ook all these chances, didn't it seem a s if he wa s reck less? And then when in spite of the se ap~ parent handcaps he achieved hi s goal, didn't it see m as if he had proved that "safety Jirst" " ·as a rather CO\\·ardly sugge stion? No. The wise counsel still stands. Several fact show that Lindbergh's flight wa s not so de·loid of forethought as it seemed. ln the first place he endangered only his own personal safety. · In the second place he is a man .of unusual vigor and intelligence. · In the third place the success of his venture was so itnportant as to justify the taking of unusual hazards. Doubtless it also helped to establish good-will between :\merica and li'rance, a feeling that of recent months has not been any to,o strong. "Safety first!" It still stands and will always stand ·..1nder :rdinary -:c!lditi0!15. ~---·-··· ·-·---~--· 1-·o-o-~t~c..-.··· SHORE LINES ..........-.c·.-.c·..-.c..-..·.-.c·~ IF IT ONLY WERE A LEGEND! \Ve embarked upon a journey.
