STOP, LIQUOR SALES In, spite of the fact that, at elections- held last April flot only the.,villages. of New Trier town- àhip, but the areas of thetownship lying outside of the incorporated villages,, vateci to prohibit the. sale of alcoholic liquors, including, beer,, it is said- that several places in "No Man's Land," be- tween Wilmette and Kenilworth, are sili oper-. ating and gelling both beer and hard liquor. It is said also that the praprietors of these places contend.that they are operating under a state license, which giv es them immunity fromi interf erence. The state liquor sales law adopted after the repeal of the eighteenth amendment provided, ini effect, for local option. It gives to citizeîns of a precinct, incorporated village, road district or that part of a township lying outside the bound- aries of an incorporated village, the right ta de- termine whether beer or hard liquors shall be sold within the limits of such districts. Such votes were taken, and the electorate emphatic- ally registered its opposition ta open saloons. The law also provides that the resuit of any recently -made. carrying an traffic 'in lhquors.. President C. P. Dubbs of Minmette lias Éalled, tbe attention of the Board of. County commis- sioners ta these cantinuous violations,, but whether- any action. from, that source miay be expected remains ta be s een., If not, then the plain duty of the officiaIs of the villages of theý township is ta 'sec that action is secured by, other means or thr ough other channels. The danger to New Trier township in per- ritting the situation to exist does not lie alone in *not appeal to ail vacationists. The seashore will have noc attractions for those who revel in the quiet and grandeur of the north woods. Nor can the limpid lakes of Wisconsin lure those whr find greatest cnjoyment in the more strenu- ous activities of mauntainclimbing and the daily routine of thef dude ranch. To others -the im- portant thing, the big thing,1 is camping, a nd anywhere away from the highways of life:affords opportunity for 'indulgence in that ýtime-honoredî mariner of care-free living.ý But, many, for 'one reason or anather, canot this year follow their usual summer schedule. ýA Century of Progress-holds'an irresistible ap- peal ta those, who recognize its educational, value. For such persants: there is the opportunity for repeated visits to the fait, which would be sac-, rnifi'ced, by trips to distant points. Fortunately for residents of the favored no.rth shore, it is not ne*cessar-y for them tai travel ta remate sections to securedie benefits of almost any outdoor rec- n eation that: may 1be mentioned. Where, with.in the compass of so small an area, can sucth a variety of summer sparts and pastimes be found? To devôte-es of' aquatic pleastes the, tepid water of Lalce Michigan extends its shimmering invitation-bathing, fishing, rowing, sailing, ma- tor-boating. The shady delis and babbling brooks of.-the,, forest preserve afford ideal spots for the pitching, of tents and living in the open. Many golf clubs, bath private and municipal, permit participation in that healthful and fascinating spart. Bridle ptsand cauntry dirt lanes tempt those who have found that "the best thing for the inside. of a man is the outside of a horse." Broad paved highways inake motoring an exciting and exhular- ating experience. But best of ail, and of greatest importance ta the parents of chuldren, as well as to the children thcmnselves, are the playgrounds maintained in sorne -of the villages. Here- under competent and thonoughly trained directors, play programs are carried on for alI ages, .fnam the tiniest tats 1ta grownups. Tennis, basebail, soft' bail, races, .cantests of vaniaus kinds, anything and every- tigto bring the citznhpit outdoor'a- tivities that mean so much ta adults in keeing fit, and ta the children from the standpaint of health and normal gnowth. If one were called upon ta point out that serv- ice or advantage .which the narth shore offers ta its residents that is of grcatest value and benefit, it would certainly be the directe<t nlav-izrounds It is no secret that the NRA gives us a terrible pain in> the neck. But at that we manage to get a laugh out of it once i a while. No, you're wrong. There are other things about the NRA just as funny as Crackdowner John- son. It camne. about in' this ~~i way: Saturday 'was the first birthday of NRA. Yessir, a year aId. And 5e,000 or 75,000(O of, the boys and girls who mnake up, the NRA office force in Washington deci4ded ta take a trip down the Potoe- mac ini celebration, of the *~ event. So they called upon the restaurants ta contribute the pie and coffee, the hot dogs (flot Frankfurters) and ice, cream. Then in,-. quiry was made of the weather man, wha aper-' ates strictly under NRA, and assurance was given that the day.woul.d be fair and warmer. Sa. they called.upon certain. breweries to, supply the faam- ing beer which would just about hit the spot on a hot day. But the breweries did nat respond with alacrity. They warned timne t'a parder the matter.. Beer for that crowd?ý It would exhaust their su pply and leave the interior cepartment parched. ýBesides-, that wauld be a lot af beer, and cost money. ,Sa they turn .ed ta. the brewers'. code f or a saluti on-and..f ound it. Wheni the NRA chaps called back.for an answ er, the brew- ers told them how sorry they were, and aIl that rat, but the fact is they had referred ta the code and found that the iode absolutely prohibited., under penalty of a fine of $7,000l,000,000, 300 years, in jail or instant death, or ail three in the dis- cretion of Cracklowvner Johnson, the supplving of free beer ta any person or persans whatso- ever, for any PurPose whatsaever. That's wh*ere we began iaughing and we haven't stopped v'et. Ha.! Ha! Such agood, pun that niakes.
