Of the various cotnmunity institutions none is more essential to the tnoral and mental well being .of those whom it serves than the library. The c h u r c h, the The Community school, the social Library organization, t h e local governnlentaJl these institutions contribute their quotas to the sutn total of con1n1unity welfare; but a community with only the few v.olumes used in its schools and the few owned by the average household \vould indeed be a destitute group of people. To the community library should therefore come a very liberal £faction of the tax receipts. Full provisions should be made for the monthly purchase of the best of the classics and of the current books. There should always be on the tables the standard periodicals. Generous allowance should be made for tnaintenance expenses. The building itself must be adequate to the reading needs and desires of the cotnmunity. In this matter n1ost con1munities are retniss, because the population has grown so rapidly that the old building soon becomes entirely inadequate. \Ve therefore urge that every north shore community familiarize itself with the services and problems of its library and recognize the fact that suitable libraries can be built and maintained only by suitable expenditures. The most beautiful suburban region in the world ! The North Shore ! Those ""ho have driven, in lVIay and J nne, along Sheridan road know that this claim is true. The boulevard Most itself from W i I m e t t e to Beautiful Highland Park is among the finest-broad, especially in Glenc.oe, smooth, curving, with level stretches and dips down into ravines and up again. The trees and shrubbery add to its attractiveness: especially at this season of the year when the hawthorn and crah apple are in bloon1. The dozens of beautiful hom·e s, handsotne mansions with marvelous gardens, or charming cottages with grounds left in their native ·wild condition. If you doubt that the North Shore is the most beautiful suburban region in the world, take this trip along Sheridan road, and en joy it. with the eyes and mind not of a resident hut of a new comer. Readers who have boys between the ages of 17 and 24 years, inclusive, ought to give thought to the benefits their boy may enjoy by becoming a Military student in a Citizen's M i 1i t ; " Training Camps Training Can1p I) For one thing, your problem of wh: do wit.~ q~m .

You \vill · keep him out of idleness that may direct hin1 into n1ischief. You will get him back healthier, stronger and more willing to do his parents' bidding respectfully and gladly. You will get him back with more self-reliance and tnore ability to take care of himself in any emergency. Private summer camps are undoubtedly splendid influences for boys, but six years of proved superiority merits your consideration of the C. M. T. C. for y.our boy. The government can1p provides him with tran sportation, all clothing and necessities, including plenty of health-building foodswithout any charge at all. These camps are conducted from July 28 to August 28. -Contributed. It is not usual to find anything tragic in an advertisement. But sometimes in an every-day ad there will be a word or phrase that \vill imply even to the casual reader a whole volume In an Ad of tragedy. Such was the little note which we saw recently in a garage a,d. It ran as follows : "Better deliveries can be made because of the Flood Area cancellations." "Flood Area cancellations!" The words fla sh before our eyes thousands of men, women and children tnarooned on housetops or clustered on little islands ,o r crowded in relief camps, robbed of homes and property by the tnerciless flood waters. Threatened by disease and death. Only a few weeks ago they were happy and we~l, planning to enjoy the spring and summer tn the new cars which they had ordered. But their terrible losses forced them to cancel their orders. Small need for cars when they had not even home s. . \ccidents will happen. Some drivers will he either foolish or reckless to the end of their days. Some will always care little about others so long a~ the\· themselves can get Decrease the by.· :\ccidents cannot be Number eliminated altogether. but their number can be decreased. Obstacles to safe driving can be made fewer. Though human nature will remain much the same, still those natural conditions that are contributory causes of accidents can be done away with. Perhaps the m.ost fertile cause of autonlobile accidents is obstructed vision at street intersections. If view at such points were as uninterrupted as on country highways the list of such accidents would be tnuch shorter. But as it is, corners in sections where there is considerable traffic must be passed with extreme caution. There is a simple and effective partial remedv. Corner shrubs n1ay be trimmed down ;o as not to interfere with clear vision of approaching cars. This trimming will, instead of spoiling the appearance of property really improve it. And when one realizes of what great benefit this trimming will be to drivers, we do not see how property .owners can avoid taking the suggestion. _____ P_I_I_I_I_I.
