of the North Shore Chapter will wet come the guests in _heirloom gowns in the candle light of yesterday. Mré. Earl Gsell, H. P. S55; Mrs. Lewis Sinclair, H. P. 917; Mrs. Warâ€" ren Danley, H. P. 1270 and Mrs. Eraâ€" tus Phelps will be glad to accept your Lectureâ€"Recital March 23rd Ruth Wood Meyer and Helen Abâ€" bott Byfield will appear in their lecâ€" tureâ€"recital "From Plymouth Rock to Broadway and Routte 66" on Monday, March 23rd, at 2:30 o‘clock in the Highland Park Woman‘s Club. This program of American songs with â€" their historical background is being : presented by the North Shore Chapter of the Daughters of the American. Revolution to buy bonds. The members are all engaged in War Refief, Red Cross Conservetion and Civilian Defense but they relize the great need of funds to keep the fightâ€" ers of Lake Forest an the members If cleanliness is next to godliness, Highland Park*should be a godly city April 7! On April 6, the city council is sponsoring a cityâ€" wide cleanâ€"up in Coâ€"operation with the civilian defense program. The annual Spring cleanâ€"up has been a Highland Park institution for some years; this Spring, the cleanâ€"up will have a betterâ€"thatâ€"usual motive. The material salvaged will be used by the city to purchase two new air raid sirens. The League of Women Voters, in charge of conservation under the defense program, hopes to see 100 tons of salvage. The city will provide the trucks to haul away the household debris that has assumed such war value. All the citizen has to do is go through his property with great care, removing all scrap metal, paper, clean rags and other waste material. This annual cleanâ€"up day offers every home in Highland Park a fine opportunity not only to dispose of all trash, but to be of real benefit to the local defense national defense. Many of these men are well qualified by a generaâ€" tion of experience as executives, as instructors, in the various proâ€" fessions and in the skilled trades. They are sincerely anxious to do all they can to help this nation win its war with the Axis powers. Yet, wherever they turn they are confronted with endless red tape. Recogâ€" nizing the need for systematic handling of defense problems, includâ€" ing that of personnel, it still seems needlessly timeâ€"consuming to reâ€" quire citizens to comply with needless official procedure. A rich source of trained, highly skilled and well seasoned manpower could be made almost instantly available to the government by the immediate simplification of the requirements for entering government or miliâ€" tary service. The men thus available could relieve younger men for service in the field. They would bring executive experience needed in handling vexatious problems of production, distribution and public relations. In short, these men could and would bring into the war effort an untold wealth of the knowledge, skill and experience that have long made America the nation it is They have brought our standards of civil life to a high point of perfectionâ€"why should it be made so difficult for them to perform the same service in a military Ours has always been a city of people who love the better things of lifeâ€"and we have had them in bountiful profusion. Today in the midst of a war, with virtually every person in town contributing in some way to the war effort, we still find time for the finer things, notably music. The calendar of coming events shows two concerts to be given by the High School Band and Chorus March 29 and April 26. The Community Orchestra and Chorus has scheduled a concert at the Community Center for March 29. ‘The Elm Place Music Fesâ€" tival occurs March 26. In peace or wartimes, we will have our music! D.A.R. To Sponsor In addition to the social facilities provided for service men at the Highland Park USO Club, intelligent recognition is being given to hobbies. Many men now in uniform were enthusiastic hobbyists in preâ€"war days and have missed the pleasure and instruction they enjoyed in pursuing hobbies. The USO Club recognizing the high value of hobby work in the maintainance of morale, has established a photographic laboratory or "dark room," and a work room for those interested in the creation of ornaments of wood and plastic. Both rooms are proving very popular and are heavily patronized. A subâ€" stantial contribution to the work of the USO can be made by those who have any dark room or shop equipment that can be given or loaned "for the duration." Without doubt there are many currently unused darkâ€"rooms and workâ€"shops in Highland Park, perhaps beâ€" longing to men in service, or civilians so busy doing emergency work that ‘they have no time left for the old hobby. Undoubtedly, too, there will be a warm welcome for donations of wood and plastics for the shop, photographic papers and chemicals for the camera addicts. It is also probable that Highland Park hobbyists with a bit of time to spare in the evening could be quite helpful to the hobby work at the club.
