The anciént songs of Russia are of great sigâ€" nificance in that they represent the life and customs of the people whose mode of living is rapidly vanishing before the encroachment of western culture. Mr. Walevitch‘s charming American wife, the former Ann Whelply, interprets his songs. ernment. Interest lagged during the "dog days" of late summer but immediately picked up again wher the incinerator problem came up beâ€" fore the council for solution. When the location of the incinerator was definitely decided upon the citizenry once again withdrew within their shells and have remained there ever In all fairness, however, the counâ€" cil itself could put forth a bit more effort toward making its meetings more interesting. While the council with the weight of city affairs on its mind can hardly be expected to be constantly prodding the members of the community into a state of civic consciousness, yet it would help immensely if it would inject into its sessions a little of what Dale Carâ€" negie calls "Showmanship." The ordinary routine of city affairs as a rule makes pretty dull listening matter but there are a hundred and one problems of government that come up in the course of a week‘s time that if brought up for open discussion would make attendance at the council‘s meetings well worth while. With one or two exceptions the council is too prone to believe that discussion of the city‘s operaâ€" tions are too boresome to tolerate. This perhaps may be partially true to the initiated who are in daily contact with the city‘s work, but to the layman who is ratrely in close touch with ‘his community‘s governâ€" ment it is hardly the case. Your reporter is of the opinion that a eloser cooperation between the Counâ€" cil and the members of the communâ€" ity will bring forth well worthwhile results. A unique and interesting program will be presented at the next meetâ€" ing of the Highland Park Woman‘s €lub, when Saveli Walevitch brings his "Songs of the Russian People" before club members and their guests on March 19th at 2:00 p.m. At Monday evening‘s session the council heard the report of Commisâ€" sioner Swanson and City Engineer Cole on the results of their inspecâ€" tion trip in regards to the flood situâ€" ation.

Every one of them is part of a Girl Scout democracy in which each troop elects its own officers and trains its members in delegating and accepting responsibility. Their leaders help each girl to see that differences in environment or backâ€" ground need not make a girl feel left out. On the contrary she can feel needed and important because she has something all her own to contribute. America was built out of the welding of many different peoples and ideas. Democracy depends on that welding and more of our chilâ€" dren must learn the art before it is too late. ___Mr. C. Eugene Pfister, president of the Men‘s Garden Club of Highâ€" land Park announces that the club membership has reached 100 memâ€" bers. Mr. Pfister also stated that the club is composed of men from many varied businesses and profesâ€" siona, all interested in gardening as a hobby. Some are experts in some particular field of hortieulture and others are novices interested in makâ€" tiful. Membership is open to any amateut. ing their home grounds more beauâ€" There is no question about their! willingness to learn. The Girl Scout council of Highland Park, like other Girl Scout groups has a waiting list of girls who are eager to live by the standards of Girl Scouting. But if the work is to expand, there must be more men and women to serve on committees, to share their hobbies with girls and to act as leaders. We want the kind of world that Girl Scouts are trying to build, the place to begin is in Highland Park and the time to begin is now. Associated with Mrs. Discus on the program committee are Mrs. J.

T.â€"Civic Association, according to an announcement made today by Mrs. Allen B. Discus, program chairman. _ Since graduating‘from Vassar college, Mrs. Carr has been constantly associated with personâ€" nel and social work, being at one time secretary of labor and indusâ€" try for the state of Pennsylvania, and the first woman ever to hold that post.
