"Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow" Dear Mique-Now it is time to make my will and "Faire mes adieux" to L. H. Inc. and reader of the fair publications. So I, Beth, do hereby leave the duty of filling Gin's water pan so that the office dog will still be able to "woof" his way into the editorial sanctum. The party of the first part does also bequeath to the party of the second part the joys of wrong numbers, the pleasure of not finding an important person at home fifteen minutes before press time, and, last but not least, calling · personals a whole morning with the net result of one item. And to the patient soc. eel . .and the ed., himself, I leave the task of breakin g i.n the ne\\' girl, who, though she may not be a.; dumb as the party of the first part, will undoubt edly ask a lot of questions.

Episode II. Revised American History ~[ique-\Ve ha,·e passed Mt. Shasta. onr oi it:-t\YO peak s leveled by Yolcanic eruption. A ~ "·r . f The offering for sale of the fifty year old chtirch at the south-west corner of Dundee and Saunders roads, one of the very few landmarks in the north shore area, provokes both comment and regret. The comment is Save Some that we in this new world Landmarks. have the habit of obliterating the old and substituting for it the new. The regret is that in our obliterating we show so little regard for the past, for history. It may be entirely impracticable to retain this interesting old edifice which has done so much towards ministering to the religious life of this area. The organization owning this building probably is acting most reasonably in offering for sale this familiar structure. What we do regret is the unseemly haste, so common in the United States. to he off with the old and on with the new. It is good to know that in many of o~r north shore towns there are those who are interested in saving some landmarks, some monuments of earlier days. There are on the north shore several historical societies. which have accumulated a gratifying amount of historical material and have actively supported the preservation of various landmarks. For such organizations we bespeak the interest and cooperation of all north shore citizens. Northwestern university generously offered Dyche stadium to New Trier high school for its Thanksgiving championship game with Evanston. New Tri~r declin~d. This important game was played on New Trier field, a field mtg~h Thank You less adequate for such a Northwestern! game than Dyche stadium. Had the game been played at Dyche .stadium, double the number of people who actually saw the game would have attended. The public as well as the teams must be considered when games as important as this one are to be played. Perhaps New Trier authorities had some plausible reason for declining Northwestern's generous invitation. We haven't yet heard what it was. We trust, however, that New Trier thanked Northwestern for its offer. With what anywhere else than in the United States would be considered alarming speed the movies, heretofore only vis- · iblc, are now being made audible. Not only are the dumb being made .to speak but all sound producers, from Making the the mosquito to the torqado, until now mute in the Dumb Speak movie theater, are making themselves heard. The term, audience, for years a misnomer is rapidly getting to be entirely appropri~te. We first heard a movie at McVickers theater. It looked and sounded fairly na- Nov,r that Thanksgiving has come and gone, and now that we have before us a straightaway stretch to Christmas, let us · · call to mind the Buy More claims of that society Christmas Seals whose aim is the prevention and destruction of tuberculosis, the National Tuberculosis Association. The sale of Christmas Seals, the means by which the association secures funds to · wage its campaign against tuberculosis, began on Thanksgiving and lasts until New Y~ar's day. The more money that is contnbuted for the carrying on of this splendid work the greater will be the results. Buy plentifully, more than you have ever bought before. Sho\v your good \vill and your Christmas spirit bv contributina rrenb b erously. ~he other evening we saw the play with whtch the North Shore Theater Guild opened its current season. It was "The Man With a Load of Mischief" by Ashley Dukes. We're suffiWe: 're ciently acquainted with . the Sorry! present world and its ways to know that morals are under- · going radical changes. We also know very well that sex is the central theme of a multitude of novels and plays. But we are just old-fashioned enough to wish that the Guild had not seen fit to put before us and our friends such a lewd production as the a fore said comedy by Ashley Dukes. . ' Could Dr. Freud know how many books have been written elaborating and applying his principles; how many articles on the same theme have appeared in magazines and newspapers; ho\v many speeches on the same subject have been made; how much language has been spent discussing more or less profitably psycho-analysis; could he know all this he 1night feel much surprised. But conld he know the appalling amount of n1isinterpretation . misapplication. and over-emphasis his fundamental heliefs have received he \vould retire into a Trappist monastery and never speak again. Could he know ho\v many young people have had their views of life distorted, their plans twisted, and their careers blasted by studying \vhat they thought were the doctrines of Freud, we are sure that he would add to his silence everlasting regret and remorse. Such organizations as the Indian Hill Improvement association are of very real benefit to those whon1 they represent. The history of tnany such an organization is full of praiseworthy accomplishn1ents, of val~able services rendered, of limitations removed, of advantages secured. In America countless neighborhoods, sections of cities would still be lacking certain fundamentai facilities, like parks, railway stations, .al)d schools, had there been in those neighborhoods and sections no improvement associations. approached, I seemed to sense a nervous tensi 0n among the passengers, and admit I held my breath . It took two hours to pass the lava beds at its hase. but nothing l1appened, and I took another breath a.s v,;e pulled into safe territory. An old fellow was sitting next to me. I took him to be a native, he had long whiskers, and T asked him when the mountain had erupted la:;t? He said he didn't know-he had onlv lived there twenty-five y~ars. · We arrived in San Francisco on Monday, and . tayed OYer Tuesday. I asked my friend if they had earthquakes on Tuesday3. He thoug-ht a moment and said: "I\o, I never heard o( one on a Tuesday, but volcanos and earthquakes have no regular habits. You might be here a month and not see a single earthquake, and then just after y::m leave we might have a good one." I told him . I didn't come out to see one, and would be just as satisfied if it po3tponed observance of my visit. It will be good to get back to the north shore, where you don't have earthquakes and volcanos slipping up ern you unexpectedly. -Hoyt King. · While touched with the spirit of . the pre-holiday aeaaon, may we mention briefly t~t one of the finest gifts to be beatowecl at or near this Yuletide will be that ever-so-attractive one, Beth, (as note above) who is to be carried away, far away acro11 country-there to apply her deft journaliatic manner to the joyous routine of home-making. Some fellow a get all the ·breaks! -Ml:t"Je . .
