The mayor stated that in the past months people bhad volunteered their services both at ‘the American Legion headquarters and at the City Hall by the hundreds but all the information that was obâ€" tained was simply names and adâ€" dresses. ‘The mayor stressed the imâ€" portance of applicants filling out the information forms in full so that the committee would be able to get an accurate ‘luz on the capabilities of each individual offering his services. The mayor emphasized the fact that there will be plenty to do for everybody. He said he was being conâ€" tinually bombarded for information on the Civilian Defense program in spite of the broad publicity on the subject carried in the local papers.

He recommended the use of blankets fastened to hooks in the walls by button holes. As an interesting sideâ€"light to the stated that in recent blackouts tests at Great Lakes it was found that wher the naval reservation alone was blacked out it presented a perfect tarâ€" get from the air due to the ring of lights from the surrounding communi~â€" ties. Thus it was decreed that future biackouts should also include the neighboring towns as well as the naval reservation. When blackout tests are made at Fort Sheridan Highland Park will also be forced to douse its,lights because of its close proximity to that vital objective. That the effect of the current war is being felt more and more by John Q. Public was further demonstrated at Monday evening‘s council meeting when the mayor announced the forâ€" mation of the city‘s Tire and Tube Allocation board. The current allotâ€" ment of tires for Deerfield township is 13 for touring cars and 23 for trucks, In order to obtain a tire from now on one must apply to the Tire and Tube Allocation Board for a permit. If the board deems the application valid a permit is issued which is to be presented to the seller at the time of purchase. With the purchase of new automoâ€" biles relegated to the sidelines for the "duration" and with the sale of tires confined only to those cases attendent with the war effort the current war is really being brought home to the average individual.

The city is making every effort to increase its revenue during the comâ€" ing year and city officials feel that this is one source of funds that should yield a substantial return. With so much of the peoples income going to Federal® taxes and with valuations down and expenses up municipal govâ€" ernments are going to need every cent they can lay their hands on. ; In Commissioner Swanson‘s absence, Commissioner Sharp reported that arâ€" rangements had been made to transfer sufficient funds to the Street Departâ€" ment to allow a decided increase in the amount of cinders placed:â€"on the streets. 3 WANTED,â€" TAX BUYERS
