Winnetks village council last week passed an ordinance which has been pending since 1988, providing for the rezoning of the property of Don Robertson, located at the northwest corner of Scott and Linden avenues, from an "A" residential classificaâ€" tion, to that of "C" commercial This property, on which Mr. Robâ€" ertson plans to build a colonial resiâ€" dential type building to house his Hearthstone Tea Room, is located partly in Winnetksa and partly in Glencoe. The matter of resoning the Winnetka portion of the tract has been pending before the Winnetka village council, swaiting action by the Glencoe village board relating to that portion of the property in Glencoe. The Glencoe authorities had been deferring action until the outcome of a zoning case in court involving the Clarence J. Taylor property at the northeast corner of Scott and Linden.

President W. E. Larsen reported the subject had been proposed to him by the John B. Rogers Production Co,. as a modern method not only of preserving the local scheme of life in the form of a fullâ€"length movie but of providing a substantial fundâ€"raising project for the club treasury. O. A. Newsome suggested the film eould be adapted to a progress proâ€" gram which has been under considâ€" eration by a small group of civic leaders for the past two months. Such a picture, he said, could vividâ€" ly portray certain material accomâ€" plishments that had been achieved here during the 1930s.

Hatch, (D), of New Mexico to extend the provisions of the original Hatch Act against poâ€" litical activities of government emâ€" ployees. It is not an Administrative measure. On the questions raised by the bill the Democratic leadership is itself divided. It has been vigorousâ€" ly supported by Majority Leader Alâ€" ben W. Barkley, of Kentucky, and just as vigorously opposed by the Majority Whip, Sherman Minton, of Indiana. On the first amendment only three votes separated the "ayes" from the "nos." On the secâ€" ond, the difference was seven. The original Hatch Act denounces and prohibits Federal employees from engaging in "pernicious politiâ€" cal activities." Civil Service emâ€" ployees have long been precluded by law from taking any active part in behalf of candidates and political parties. The Hatch Act, in effect, extends that prohibition to include also those employees who are apâ€" pointed to public office not under the merit system. I do not wish to be unfair to the Senator from Kentucky, Mr. Barkâ€" ley, and to the Senator from Inâ€" diana, Mr. Minton. It is noneâ€"theâ€" less an interesting fact that the Senator from Kentucky vigorously opposed the Hatch Act during the year he was a candidate for reâ€"elecâ€" tion. He no doubt recognized that a prohibition against political activâ€" ities by Federal office holders, many of whom were admittedly his recomâ€" mendations, would deny him an imâ€" portant source of campaign assistâ€" ance he felt he should have. Now, apparently, he wishes to make it apâ€" pear that his party believes in the principles of the Hatch Act and last Wednesday delivered a speech with much emphasis in support of the proposed extension to it. The bill now sponsored by the Senator from New Mexico is designâ€" ed to extend the same prohibition to State emyployees where Federal funds are involved. In a word, both the original Hatch Act and the pending amendment or supplement are designed to preclude the buildâ€" ing up of a Federal political maâ€" chineâ€"a much needed reform in government. by Raiph E. Church Representative, 10th Congressional District It is also an interesting fact that the Senator from Indiana (the Maâ€" jority Whip), who has been opposâ€" ing the legislation with equal vigor, is himself a candidate for reelection this year. He is an acknowledged political colleague of Paul V. Mecâ€" Nutt, who, as Governor of Indiana. established the now favous "2% clubs" and a State political machine. Admittedly, legislation such as the Hatch Act and the pending bill would deny the Senator from Inâ€" diana the assistance of his political appointees in his campaign. If I may be permitted a purely personal opinion, I have long been convineed of the need for the kind of legislation Senator Hatch has been sponsoring. It strikes at the heart of the "spoils system," where political considerations rather than ability and competence control the the party in clections, and mq’wml-h'ufi- selection of government employees. In his remarks on the Floor of the Senate, Mr. Hatch pointed out that it has become a practice to create "unnecessary positions" in order "to provide employment for party workâ€" ers," that "salaries were not closely related to the nature of the work but rather to the requirements of the political incumbent," that "those who held offices were expected to devote a part of their time toward This Week in Washington san services than to public dutics." .:._-..-nu‘uuu and party responsibility is essential to the operation of a democracy. rvh-.-:â€"ub-hb-: an agent a political party rather than as an agent for the whole people, in efficiency and waste inevitably result and democracy disâ€" integrates. The people have a right to expect that those who serve them in public office, whose salaries they pay, be selected on a basis of their training and ability rather than simply on their ability to get votes. For my part, I believe the best interests of the whole people will be served by continual extensions of the merit system and by the enactâ€" ment of such legislation as sponsorâ€" ed by the earnest Senator from New Mexico.

Learned to be responsible for themselves by watching traffic sigâ€" nals. Became aware of their ownerâ€" ship of public buildings and frowned upon defacing them. In Girl Scout camps last year, thousands of girls became acâ€" quainted with nature. They learned to swim and dive, to weave, make pottery, to call trees and plants and birds by name. They learned to work together for the common good. To bow to the will of the majority. To adjust selfish traits. To develop the courage of their own convictions. Generally, they left some mark of their thinking. A rustic bench unâ€" der a shade tree, or an improved table arrangement in the dining hal. They took back with them the memâ€" ory of happy times, and a belief in their own inner resources.
