Bartel, Associate Mre. Robert W. WI‘ Editor Gladys Udell, Advertising What is Highland Park? Why do you live here? Simple greeting, perhaps, yet serious answers are worthy of careful consideration. Of course, Highland Park is a suburban city, just the right distance from the virtuesand vices of a large city â€"a city favored by a lake shore, beautiful trees and magnifiâ€" cent ravinesâ€"a city of fine homes. It is, however, more than thatâ€"It is a community of worthâ€"while people. e Why do you live here? Not primarily because of its locaâ€" tion, beauty and physical characteristics but because it is the khild t:t a community where associations make for a satisfying existence. 4 It is therefore evident that a community spirit esasgential in making@ and keening Highland Park the on which a community house must stand. Every citizen who has given careful thought to the subject of a community house endorses the idea. The theory meets with universal approval. Now is the time for a united comâ€" munity spirit to go into definite action to bring into existence a community houseâ€"a meeting place and center of activity for ALL the citizens of Highland Parkâ€"Chicago‘s best suburb. Joliet to Import Trees to Develop It‘s Aboretum In addition to seventyâ€"five kinds of trees that are native to the Pilâ€" cher Park Arboretum in Joliet, many others, such as . magnolia, sweet gum, cypress, pecan, black birch, and black cherry, were imâ€" ported ‘by John Higginbotham, the original owner of the tract of land, 327 acres in extent. Plans for the develooment of the area include imâ€" porting trees from all over the world, research workers of the Fedâ€" eral Writers‘ Project, W.P.A., who are compiling .a guide book to the city, have learned. This group, which met for the first time this week, is composed of the leftâ€"handed students in colâ€" lege, and was called together by Dr. Herbert McComb Moore, presâ€" ident of the college, himself a leftâ€" hander.

' This tract, formerly called the Forest of Arden, was presented to the people of Jolict by Robert Pilâ€" cher in 1922 with the stipulation that it should remain in its natural state. Just across Hickory Creek from the Arboretum is a fiveâ€"acre picnic camp, which is connected with the main park by a footbridge. A flowing well fed from Lake Miâ€" chigan is one of the features of the area. The group were the guests of President Moore at a supper given at Bross cottage, after which the conclave was held.

After lights had been extinguished in most of the homes at Saybrook McLean county, one rainy night in October, 1863, a quivering young soldier in Union blue knocked at the door of awottage near the edge of town. According to a narrative found by research workers of the Illinois Federa) Writers‘ Project, W.P.A., the stranger, too exhausted to speak, was put to bed and in the morning was found dead. Continued efforts to learn his identity failed. A mound in the local cemetery is still pointed out as the grave of Sayâ€" brook‘s unknown soldier. Teacher: "How . old‘ is your father?" Tommy: "Thirtyâ€"eight, sit." Teacher: "Well, I must get you homework more suited to his age." Ehud, the only lefthander menâ€" tioned in the Bible was present.

Settlement Miss Harriet Vittum, head of the Northwestern University Settlement in Chicago‘s great west side Polish district, talked last week here at the worker‘s meeting of their increasing needs. Last year they had much hope for their people, but now everyone is outâ€"of work, and Illinois relief is much behind,â€" has been since autumn. Evictions from homes haveâ€"begun again, and people are sleeping in the parks,â€"no place to go. > The needy flock to the warm cheery settlement house for advice, help and something to do. There are enormous classes in English, citizenship, sewing, cooking, and an active social program including dances. There are from.75 to 100 in the men‘s reading room at times, the most depressing fact being that now there are so many young men there, whereas last year the group ‘5&’ it makes cold starting easier than any other motor oil!" â€" money turns the wheels â€"a commercial loan would help you to take instant advantage of any offered opportunity to enlarge your business acâ€" tivity and increase your profits. . . . . . . â€"a consultation with the officers of this bank regarding such a loan might prove surprisingly beneficial.

Miss Vittum feels we should have enough work under the W.P.A. until industry isâ€"able to abâ€" sorb the workers. The following figures show the inâ€" ereased important contribution of this Settlement house. Last year there were 192,574 people taking Spotless, fresh and colorful again.
