By ELMORE M. MURPHY "Loves Labor Lost" might be considered an appropriate title for Monday evening‘s council meeting. It just seemed to be one of those nights when it was next to impossiâ€" ble to get a "meeting of the minds" as our friends in business law would term it. One exaniple of the council‘s inâ€" ability to get together with the cusâ€" tomers on the other side of the railâ€" ing was noted in the case of the new street lights conteriplated for the business district. As readers of this colurmin will recall Conimisâ€" sioner $Wunson arnd City Engineer Cole‘ were appoirited‘ at & previous meegg to act as a comtniittee to con‘ the Chamber of Commerce and work out some sort of a uniâ€" fornt‘ st¥éet lighting plan for the business district. The subject of new street lights grew out of the recerit curbing and sidewalk imâ€" provets@nts on east Central Ave. Inastitich as the street lights in this area‘ were in such a state of disâ€" repair they were going to have to be repilaced abhyway it was considâ€" ered that this was as good a time as any for the city to get a start on this much needed improvement. It was definitely understood that the property owners involved would pay for the lights and‘ the city would pay the itistwllation costs. YOLUME XXX In the meantime, the Chamber of Commercé in‘ conjunction with the Public Service company and the commiittéé named by the city counâ€" cil made a survey of the lighting needs of the city‘s business disâ€" trict. The Chamber of Commerce and the aforementioned property owners on Central Ave. who at the moment are without any street lighting facilities at all, simply wanted the council to adopt a standâ€" ard pole so that when future inâ€" stallations were made elsewhere in the business district some degree of uniformity would be preserved. When the committee made its reâ€" port on Monday evening it asked the council to take this action. Howâ€" ever, in the discussion that followed the main issues involved were comâ€" pletely lost sight of and the motion as pasesd was practically valueless. This motion as presented by Comâ€" missioner Gourley gave the Central Ave. property owners permission to install any lights they saw fit proâ€" viding they bought them and paid for their installation. No mention was made in the motion providing for the adoption of a standard light or that the city was under obligaâ€" tion to pay the installation cost as was originally understood. After much discussion pro and con the resolution as outlined above was voted upon and passed but as mentioned before it means nothing. It is a cinch that no property ownâ€" er is going to buy a light, pay for its installation (which he didn‘t inâ€" tend to do in the first place) and then have it torn out when a uniâ€" form fixture is adopted at some later date. In the meantime, these property owners remain, slightly perplexed by all the fuss, with no street lighting facilities at all. Considerable discussion was held on the request of the Highland Park hospital for the city to vacate the property between its boundary and the property of Exmoor Counâ€" try club which is now designated as a right of way for a future street. The property owners in the intmeâ€" diate neighborhood have petitioned the council to detty the request. This group is evidently fearful that the hospital plans to expand in that direction. The hospital, however, denies this intent. No final aection was taken on either the request or the petition for its denial. Some of the commissioners were reluctant to adopt a standard fixâ€" ture at this time because they feared their choice would not be acâ€" ceptable to the rest of the property owners in the business district. Ernest Belmont, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce who was in the audience, explained to the counâ€" cil that the lighting committee of his organization which represented the entire business district had alâ€" ready passed on the type of fixture requested. Some of the commissionâ€" ers were fearful that the new lights would increase the city‘s lighting bill. It was pointed out that this would be true only if 600 watt lamps were used. Mr. Belmont stated that as far as his organizaâ€" tion was concerned the 250 watt lamps now in use would be entirely satisfactory. An amendment to the city ordiâ€" nances was voted upon, passed and placed on file for public inspection‘ AJ..:.:, The Highlarmh Park Press Local Republican Women Contribute $2,300 to Campaign Republican Women‘s Finance Comâ€" mittee of Highland Park, with many interested guests, held a most enâ€" thusiastic meeting Tuesday morning at the home of Il‘fn. Ross J. Beatty. Over 90 women attended. Mrs. Horace S. Vaile, chairman, presided. Mrs. Julius E. Lackner, vice chairman, gave a report of the Special Gifts Committee‘s work, while Mrs. Jay Glidden, treasurer, reported for the twelve precinets. In an interesting analysis she report: ed each precinet by number of conâ€" tributors and by total money reâ€" ceived. Highland Park women have so far contributed something over $2,300 to the Republican campaign. This money is divided equally beâ€" tween Illinois and the National Fiâ€" nance committee. Mrs. Howard C. Phillips, viceâ€" chairman of the Illinois Women‘s division, reported on the progress of the campaign as seen from Illiâ€" nois headquarters. Mrs. Walter Brewster, speaker of the day, delighted her hearers with a succinct and witty speech centerâ€" ing on the main topic of the Third An unexpected guest added to the interest of the occasion when Mrs. George L. Brannen brought Mrs. Edward Willkie of LaGrange to the meeting.

P. Willkie Club Receives Charter; Is Open to AH The Highland Park Willkie club was organized September 10, 1940, and received its charter, No. 20, from the Associated Willkie Clubs of Illinois. The main purpose of the club is to arouse interest in Wendell L. Willkie as a candidate for President of the United States. The Highland Park Willkie club will furiction as an agency through which Democrats, Republicans, and Independents will work together for the ilecfion of Wendell L. Willkie for President, and it is expected that the club will have several thousand members before November 5th. Membership in this club enâ€" tails no dues or contributions. The organization is affiliated with the Associated Willkie Clubs of America, of which Oren Root Ir., of New York, is chairman. It is itlâ€" dependent of all party organizations â€"Nutional, State, arid Localâ€"but is to coopérate with them. Membership Open to All Membership in the Highland Park Willkie club is open to all residents of Highland Park. In the absence of the formation of a local Willkie club in adjacant towns such as Glencoe, Deerfield, and Highwood, then membership will be accepted by the local Highland Park Willâ€" kie club. However, strictly local organizations are miost desirable, and the residents of towns adjacent to Highland Park are urged to sponsor the formation of their own Willkie clubs. The program of the Highland Park Willkie club contemplates that every member shall: (1) enroll at least five new members; (2) get enâ€" dorsements of Willkie by Labor, Farm, Industrial and other groups, clubs,and such organizations; (3) get three Democratic friends to road Willkie‘s acceptance speech, then discuss it with them; (4) asâ€" sist in getting voters to the polls on election day. Each and every voter, whether he be Democrat, Republican, or Indeâ€" pendent, is urged to get busy in soliciting applications for memberâ€" ship in the Highland Park Willkie club, and in acquainting people with the facts regarding the desirability of electing Wendell L. Willkie as our next President of the United States. "With the cooperation of every citizen, any city can have a good police department," said Chief Rex Andrews when he spoke before the Highland _ Parkâ€"Ravinia _ Kiwanis club, at its regular meeting Monâ€" day evening at Sunset Valley Golf club. Neighborhood gatherings, afterâ€" noon meetings, bridge parties, and discussion groups will undoubtedly also be effective in stimulating enâ€" thusiasm for Wendall L. Willkie, as the inherent desire of people is to learn as much as possible about their candidate. The Highland Park Willkie club has been advised by various groups of its members that they intend to hold radio meetings with friends when Willkie‘s speeches are on the alr. Membership cards may be obâ€" tained at the following places: Pease Drug store, Gsell‘s Drug store, Larsons‘ Stationery store. For additional information call H. P. 861 or H. P. 2661. Cooperation of the citizens in the selection of employees, giving supâ€" port to your police force, having a thorough knowledge of the departâ€" ments and their work and learning the problems of your police departâ€" ment and how it operates are the fundamentals required to reach this goal. He told of the duties of officers in _ protecting â€" citizens â€" against thieves, criminals and vagrants and pointed out the four functions of the police department. A nightly checkup of doofs in the business district and the recent installation of the two way radio, as well as a systematic patrol of squad cars are important factors in the control of crime within Highâ€" Kiwanis Club Hears Chief Rex Andrews At Meeting Monday land Park First Church of Christ, Scientist, of Highland Park, announces a free lecture on "Christian Science" to 22 at 3:30 o‘cle« school auditortum.
