This occasion will give these woâ€" men opportunity to get acquainted with the people of Highland Park and to Fire Chief Edward C. Hoskin is in charge of this work. He feels that all Auxiliary Firemen should be trained under the same system. With this in mind, he sent Assistant Chief William Henning and Licutenant Lester Peterâ€" son to take the Firemenship Courses in Chicago under the Metropolitan Fire Department. They were fitted in this way to instruct the Highland Park Volunteers. Ray Sneeden of the Fire Department is First Aid Instructor to these men.

Is there a real need for more Nurse‘s Aides? A. The need is a very pressing one. Mrs. ~Robinson, at Chicago Red Cross Headquarters, urges that evâ€" ery woman who feels she wants to do this type of work sign up at once. Q. What qualifications must a woâ€" man have to apply for training? A. She must be an American citizen between 18 and 50 years of age and a high school graduate. She must submit three references and a phyâ€" sician‘s statement of physical fitâ€" ness. Q. What steps must be taken to get the training ? A. First, go directly to Red Cross Headquarters, 616 South Michigan Avenue in Chicago. Each applicant must have a personal interview. Q. To what hospital will the trainee be assigned for this work? A. North Shore women will most probably be assigned to the Evanâ€" ston Hospital. Up to now, women have gone to various Chicago hosâ€" pitals for their courses. Red Cross Headquarters, in an effort to deâ€" centralize the work and also in order to make it accessible to the North Shore Communities, have arranged this. Q. Upon completion of the course will the Nurse‘s Aides continue to work at the same hospital? A. Probably not. They may be transferred. Q. Why is not the Highland Park Hospital giving such training? A. Ours is not a "teaching hospital", that is, it does not have an available teaching staff for handling its own school. Possibly, in the future, there may be some way of working out some plan to use Nurse‘s Aides in our own hospital. Auxiliary Firemen Receiving Instruction Civilian Defense Office at Victor Carlson, President of the Vilâ€" lage Board, last week released the data revealing the reorganization of the ofâ€" fice of Civilian Defense. As originally set up the office of Civilian Defense was primarily protective in its efforts. As the War program developed, and cffensive preparations gathered moâ€" mentum, it became increasingly apparâ€" ent that the realization of an all out effort to win the war could only be effected by all out organization of every part of civilian life that would affect the war effort itself. A Comâ€" munity Service organization embracing necessary civilian efforts contributing to offensive action on the part of the nation was adde:i to parallel the proâ€" tective services. As previously announced, Norman Hamilton has been named Director of the Protective Services and Erwin Seâ€" ago has been named Director of the Community ‘Service. The protective services include air raid precautions, maintenance of vital services, police protection, first aid, and all the necesâ€" sary efforts to maintain Civilian life under actual war conditions. Under the new setâ€"up the Community Serâ€" vice will include the organization of committees charged with the responsiâ€" tility for: Rationing, under the chairâ€" manship of Peter Juhrend; Salvage, under the chairmanship of P.

T hursday, June 11 Rationing Rationing efforts are now in full operation and already include rubber and sugar with ‘the possibility of furâ€" ther inclusion of gasoline before the end of the summer. Efforts of local organizations to collect salvage, as has been done by Boy Scouts, churches, and other organizations, will be coâ€" ordinated into a joint effort under the direction of the Salvage Committee. Most pressing need in salvage now is rubber and metails. Mr. Stathas has strongly urged that every citizen conâ€" tribute something to this effort, and will welcome any volunteers to aid in promotion of this program. . The National drive of the U.S.O. to raise funds to carry on this important work in Army and Navy cantonments has been iniated in Deerfield and every resident will be contacted to present an opportunity to contribute.

Hamilton Director ommittee Declaring that this would be the sentiment expressed by the Nation‘s martyred President, Abraham Lincoin, were he here today, the Directors pointed out that "through the ages tyâ€" rants have endeavored to govern and control men by engendering fear." and quoting from Mary Baker Eddy‘s work *‘Miscellany" (p. 191), they furâ€" ther say, "Persecution is the weakâ€" ness of tyrants engendered by their fear and love will cast it out."
