Commissions Tells Of Duties Here The Civil Service Commission came into existence during the term of Mr. Emil Metzel as mayor, in 1931. The three members are apâ€" gohwlbythmyorndlmnd y the Highland Park commissionâ€" ers. ‘They hold office for 8 years or until a successor is appointed. They give examinations, adult D.Q. tests and oral questions to people of legal age wishing employment in competiâ€" tive service (as distinguished from labor epartment). Candidates to be eligible must be citizens of the United States and a resident of Highland Park at least 6 months prior to exams. At a meeting held January 19th, by the Highland Park League of Women Voters, two members of the Highland Park Civil Service Comâ€" mission spoke. Mr. John Putnam and Mr. Byron Howes gave a very comprehensive explanation of this branch of Government and how it operates here. _ _ _ _ > _ tary, at present Mr. Ball of the high school faculty who helps make out the questions. The commission is asked to recommend a person certiâ€" fied after a six months probation period. These lists are not open to the public, and candidate is notified only that he does or does not pass examination. Additional credit is given for Military Service, 1 point for each six months, so that a man who has been in the army might get a job even if he did not pass as high in the examinations as some one who had not seen service. The heads of the Fire and Police departments are appointive offices and do not come under the Civil Service law. The only three North Shore towns that have this merit system are Evanston, Highland Park and Waukegan. If a man is «lischarged he can not apply for eligible list for two years and he is disqualified if hemoves away from the city. The three terms of Civil Service commissioners expired in 1935, 1936 and 1937, but it is interesting to note that no successors have been appointed so the present board is still carrying on. One of the weaknesses in the state law is that in an emergency a job may be filled for 60 days by some who has not passed Civil Serâ€" vice exams. . In some communities this ~law has ~been © abused and repeated appointments have been Both major and political parties declared for Civil Service in their platforms before 1936 elections but present Senate seems indifferent or almost antagonist â€"to "Ramspeck" bill, which is about the last stand for merit system. The league urges all citizens to write our two senaâ€" tors from Illinois, Hon. James Hamâ€" ilton Lewis and Hon. William Dietâ€" erich at Washington, D.C., to assist in passing the Ramspeck bill, which will keep 1st, 2nd and 3rd class Postâ€" masterships under the merit system and out of "Patronage." fpi VISIT THE sPotT ALL THE WORLD is TALKING ABout~â€" In addition to the three members, 5/””“75 â€"route of the All â€"Pullman GQoiden State Limited, the fine Apache and the o For utter swank in Winter V.atlo‘-.-flla. recreation facilities and â€"there‘s Paim .

Leaf, for many years a resident of Lake Forest, has ofâ€" fcially announced his candidacy for the nomination for county treasurer on the Republican ticket. Gar, as he is familiarly known to hundreds of local residents, will make his bid for votes of the county‘s Republicans on the basis that his tenâ€"year experâ€" ience gained in the treasurer‘s ofâ€" fice gives him a batkâ€"log of experâ€" ience of genuine value to taxpayers. Mr. Leaf entered the county treasâ€" urer‘s oifice a decade ago when that office was being administered by J. B. Morse. He was appointed deputy county treasurer when Allen J. Ne!â€" son, some few years ago, was electâ€" ed county treasurer. One of the youngest leaders in Lake County‘s Republican organization, Leaf has for the past six years been a memâ€" ber of the Republican Central comâ€" mittee. He enjoys the distinction at present of being the youngest memâ€" ber of the Republican Executive committee. > Leaf was born in Waukegan May 2, 1902, and his family moved to Lake Forest in 1912. He attended local public schools, Deerfieldâ€" Shields high school and Lake Forest ~eollege days, he distinguished himâ€" self at both basketball and footbali. While playing at the tackle position at Lake Forest college he was chosen unanimously for that posiâ€" tion in a poll of sports editors seâ€" lecting an allâ€"star Little Nineteen conference team. Two of Mr. Leaf‘s sisters, Mrs. William Fitzgerald and Mrs. William Burgess, are well known residents of Lake Forest. His marriage to Charâ€" lotte Doolittle, daughter of the present Sheriff Doolittle, attracted wide interest. The Leafs have two daughters, ages 10 and 4.

Two From New Trier; Lindblom Here Friday In the most torrid basketball game seen in these parts in many years, Coach Chuck Lauer‘s Highâ€" land Park Varsity Five trounced their highly tooted New Trier opâ€" ponents 40â€"29 in their game here Friday night. On the opening play, Oz Digani sank a neat basket that started an avalanche of scorâ€" ing that would have taken the heart out of any team in the state. . In less than two minutes the score stood 7â€"0 for Highland Park; and, while Reynolds and company tried to throttle Digani, Hoie wank a couple of sleepers. As shot after shot found its mark with deadly accuracy, the New Trier outft saw the score mount to 18â€"3 at the quarâ€" ter and 24â€"5 at half time. As the second half opened, the starting Highland Park team reâ€" entered the game without reporting to the scorers. The referees alâ€" lowed New Trier five free throws, three of which were made by Deaâ€" con. After the game, Referee. Le Gault and Clarno reversed the deâ€" cision and allowed but one of these points. ‘The downshore team outâ€" scored the locals in the third quarâ€" ter but were never able to get withâ€" in striking distance. The Froshâ€"Soph team also scored a smashing 27â€"11 triumph as Tony Vole â€" and Tom Summers scored freely and the entire team outâ€" rushed New Trier in a fast contest. Digani,. Turelli, Norvik, and Hole scored consistently for the varsity while Anderson did excellent work taking the ball off the bankâ€"board. Local fans should have another treat of fine basketball when the locals meet Lindblom high school of Chicago, now leading the central section in the City league, at the Highland Park gym tomorrow (Friâ€" day) night. â€" B.
