The tone of public thinking has changed. We have been defenseâ€" mindedformonfllspast,buthoduywemOfiememinded. Our defense stamps and bonds are now OFFENSE stamps and bonds, and by the way, we are enjoying the status of being best sellers in Highland Park as well as every other community in America. The Japs are beginning to find that this nation has become "MacArthurâ€" minded." The realization has come that defense never won a war. The nation has rolled up its sleeves, clinched up its belt. War work is the work of all, whether we are in uniform, civvies or overalls. Offense stamps and bonds furnish the sinews; we are buying them, to the consternation of the Japs and Jerries, in bigger and better volume as the war progresses. © â€" SHOVEL AND‘HOE Voters are being "conditioned" by the candidates for the various oomuy,mteandnafiomloffieubyanmorl'oconmntbame of information, statements and claims about the persons who desire to be elected. Never since World War I has the calibre of our officeâ€" holders been more important. The motives that govern the conduct of all of us have changed.

Every voter should exercise his franchise this year with extreme care, to the end that the character and ability of our public servants will be fully up to the standards their heavy duties require. © â€" OFFENSE, NOT DEFENSE The Civilian Defense organization has had printed and distribuâ€" ted a card giving comprehensive instructions for the conduct of citiâ€" zens in the event of a blackout. These instructions are simple, easy to remember, and VITALLY IMPORTANT. It is ‘suggested that each in home in the city study the blackout card with ure.p‘g:emhmory e'::f-ydxia mrisar:gld ogythe unexpected. Perhaps it isn‘t logical that â€"we should have air raids, but it is entirely possible. In any event, being prepared is splendid insurance against the disaster and confusion that results from a lack of preparedness. Read the basic instructions, know what to do, and enjoy the peaceâ€"ofâ€"mind that comes of being foreâ€"sighted. Our quiet little city, where most homes for years have been dark shortly after ten o‘clock in the evening, is no more. A full third of the voting population, amounting to some 1,750 adults, have registered for civilian defense work. They are studying First Aid under the Red Cross, learning to be air raid wardens, auxiliary police and fireâ€" men, helping out with defense garden plans or assisting at the USO. Hundreds too are studying to get into the armed forces. Our women and children are doing their share in the collection of salvage material, and their sharp eyes miss little. We are no longer a sleepy little subâ€" urban city, but a wide awake, Victoryâ€"minded, hard working, united group of citizens, devoting our time and our effort to our only job, that of winning a war. The suggestion is offered that those not alâ€" ready signed up for some sort of participation in defense work should canvass their capacities so as to make them available to the civil deâ€" fense program or other war effort. © â€" POLITICAL POT BOILING © _ BLACKOUT INSTRUCTIONS © â€" HIGHLAND PARK‘S NIGHT LIFE Vol. 32, No. 4 » by IVAN N.
