The chief of the department re- ports that the fire was one of the most severe that the men have had to combat. Having started in the base- ment. it was rather difficult to put out; the smoke made it impossible to enter the building for fifteen minutes after the department arrived. The fire afforded an opportunity to use the new pumping appantus which worked splendidly. The sewer drain had been blocked and it became neces- sary to pump out the four feet of wa- ter remaining in the basement. VESPER SERVICE ON NEW YEAR SUNDAY Mr. Louis Kreidler Will Sing Mrs. (‘. N.

W1) months ago that assistâ€" -ance was withdrawn from the War Camp Community Service activities throughout the country because the avsilahle funds were almost exhaust» ed and because the need had disap- peared with the demobilization of the men in uniform. A specisl excep- tion was made in the use of High- land Park.' It was felt that the need st Fort Sheridan was greater than during the period of the Great War and it was recognized that the Naval Station presented a perman- ent obligation. lBut at the end of January. 1920, this aid from the out- side will no longer be available. No‘ more funds from Headquarters can; he expected. Unless the communityl of Highland Park raises the moneyl the Army and Navy Centre must close. This was the problem which con- ! fronted a group of our citizens. mem- ;bers of the War Camp Community iService, and a few others, who met fat the City Hall last Monday night. . What will be the answer to that prob- ; lem? Every public-spirited citizen of Highland Park knows of the good work which our Army and Navy Cen- ter and our Saturday night dance at the High School have accomplished. We have at our doors the largest Army Hospital in the U. S. A. where the number of patients will not de- crease for months to come. We have T a few miles further north a larger and permanent group of young men in uniform. Our Army and Navy Cen- tre has enabled us to fulfill a double? resimnsibility to the two groups. In the first place it has enabled us to offer to the many thousands of sol- and sailors who have visited us a clean and attractive place of “(-lcnme where they can find Whole-i -. ,me flnlLL‘tlllQnt, bring their friends, (Hill co 1:; into touch with the right In the second place “.i‘ Army and Navy r'entre has env‘ tilt-rs Y} pe of people. 5‘ 14-} 'us tn protect (UT own commun- . from the. harm whivh might have "vlni' ti,- it is the huge number of x siting young men had had no friend-1' ;;; lmspitalit} offered to them.
