Through the medium of a Community Council, all matters of importance could be discussed and brought before the "powers that be", thus elimâ€" inating duplication by the various groups. In other words, the "m'.l'?l;t";li.im Park is "well t;r:z;fxiie'a'g is a known fact. But each unit works for its own benefit without any thought as to its effect on the town as a whole.

With a centralized group, this could be avoided, and a closer relationship established between all sections of the city. Highland Park needs Community Spirit. It needs more "real citizens" interested in all phases concurrent with the prosâ€" perity and growth of the city. Now that Highland Park has finally acquired a Community Center, there will be a need for community activities. Through a Community Council, so many larger and more interesting things can be planned for Highland Park, with all oganizations working together, instead of as individual groups.

This is not a League "offspring" but a purely civic move. There is no political phase concerned â€" only a desire to bring about a closer relationship. Will there be a Community Council? Preparatory to erecting & $120,â€" 000 fourâ€"story concrete and steel building for the John M. Smyth furniture store, wreckers last week began razing the old oneâ€"story strucâ€" tures on the 55â€"foot lot on Church street in Evanston immediately to the west of the present Smyth store. The Smyth company purchased the site for this new building three years ago from Cornelius Hayes, Dr. William A. Hadley of Winnetâ€" ka, founder and for many years prinâ€" cipal of the Hadley Correspondence School for the Blind, Saturday of last week celebrated his 80th birthâ€" day. £ The new building will have a depth of 128 feet, extending from Church &treet through to Postoffice place. It will be of fireproof conâ€" struction throughout and will have a full basement. "The trustees of the Hadley achool congratulate you on your 80th birthâ€" day, and wish you many, many hapâ€" py returns of the day. Among the many friends who paid Dr. Hadley their respects was the board of trustees of the Hadley school, who wrote Dr. Hadley the following words. Last week workmen started tearâ€" ing out sections of the Waukegan courthouse basement office formerly «ccupied by the county highway deâ€" partment as work on the $12,000 remodeling program got under way. The remodeling, which will affect all floors with the exception of the newly remodeled fourth floor, is exâ€" pected to be completed within a few weeks.

The first draft, it is expected, will be finished by the first of next week, and application for a building perâ€" mit will then be filed as soon as possible. In a referendum vote almost 10 to 1 Glencoe residents have exâ€" pressed a desire for a motion picâ€" ture theater to be operated seven days a week. The village board has amended its license fees for a business of this nature to conform to those of other neighboring comâ€" munities. Under the requirements of the Public Works Administration it has been necessary for the Winnetka village council to make an appropriâ€" ation of $50,000 as a loan from the water fund to the grade separation fund, it is announced. This, it is explained, was in order to insure the availability of adeâ€" quate cash to complete the grade separation project. The additional appropriation was required by the PWA as a condition to the approval of contracts XI and XNM covering the construction of permanent bridges and paving imâ€" provements, the amount of which contract exceeded the last approved QualityCleaners RELIABLE LAUNDRY DRY CLEANING CO.

"Stunts" Program to Reach New Heights Produced March 16 "Where But in America," at the close of school could a stage sudâ€" denly become alive with people, cast and crew alike, all talking at once, all hurrying to finish some odd job before rehearsals start in earnest. "Have you seen Mary Jane‘s cosâ€" tume? Isn‘t it a dream?" "Hey, handle with care, that‘s a fragile prop!" "Turn on the first and secâ€" ond borders and dim the foots." Then, just as suddenly, things quiet down and rehearsals proceed in a businessâ€"like manner. That‘s how it is at the auditorium of Highland Park High school. The "student stunts" program, a yearly high spot, has been in rehearsal for the past four weeks under the direction of Elise Rinkenberger. This year‘s revue titled "Where But in America" will consist of a dozen or so acts, and according to Miss Rinkenberger is more varied, the dialogue snappier, and the music catchier than ever before. "Stunts" is one of the favorite dramatic opportunities of the year. It not only gives an opening to a number of students (this year beâ€" tween 150 and 200), but it allows anyone a chance to put across his own idea in the entertainment field. The weaving of these individual acts into a unified whole takes much work and planning. Miss Rinkenâ€" berger feels that this year‘s show has progressed in the direction of a unified piece of showmanship.

On Monday night of this week, the first of a series of meetings was held by a group of representative Highland Park citizens, and the drive to send a Highland Park resiâ€" dent to Springfield was launched. Mr. Pierce is not & politician in the accepted sense, nor is the finanâ€" cial inducement or personal aggranâ€" disement a factor in his bid for the opportunity of public service. He is motivated by a keen desire to conâ€" tribute his experience, gained through years of study and obserâ€" vation of the effect of laws on the management of American business "EARMARKED" $250,000.00 of Highland Park THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION belief has und enterprise, to the law making bodies of this State. ~His definite ambition is to work toward the enâ€" actment of such laws which will function to the advantage and opâ€" portunity of Mr. John Q.

It is because of these beliefs that his neighbors, associates and friends have prevailed upon him to enter the race which will be decided at the polls April 9.
