His letter of thanks : will more than repay you. The Highland Park USO is countâ€" ing on your contribution.: Batter up! s M â€" Next week, Independence Day finds us gravely concerned with the problems that we as a nation must solve before Victory can rest upon our banners. Independence Day, will hardly be a ‘day for fireâ€" works, noise and senseless celebration. Our most sincere and useful observation of the Fourth of July can well be in the form of an extra investment in War Bonds and Stamps, or an added impetus to our war workâ€"Red Cross, USO or whatever our assignment is. The fireworks can be reserved until Victory comes. Let‘s eliminate the noise this year, and take time to recognize the real meaning of the Fourth. We feel sure there is not a boy in Highland Park who will be so selfâ€"centered as to feel he must have fireworks this year. * © â€"PLAY BALL Daily the news of the war. shows the need for young bodies and minds to meet the shocks and emergencies of battle. In tanks, planes, submarines, we see lads just out of schooolâ€"or shop or facâ€" tory or officeâ€"who are performing feats that put some of the older men to shame. The agility and quick reflex actions called for under emerg.:c; are the heritage of youth. Young bodies have resilence, to meet hardship. Young minds are fired with idealism; cynicism and scepticism are seldom to be found in youth‘s dictionary. So from June 26 to June 30 the men of 18 and 19 will register to do their part in the nation‘s service. It may be hard for Mother and Dad to recognize that Junior is a man in size and strength, but Uncle Sam knows. Winston Churchill‘s solemn expression, "Blood, sweat and. tears," comes closer home when Junior goes to War. } Highland Park children will have the advantage of expansive play facilities this year as in former years. All during the summer months, the playground and recreation program which is an annual activity of the Park Board will be available for our youngsters. It has been well said that the future of America will rest in the hands of today‘s children. Years hence, we will be able to look back with pleasure and satisfaction on a childâ€"building program which, even during the war period, recognizes the need for strong minds in healthy, wellâ€"nourished bodies. Child health authorities have long recognized that a healthful environment and properly guided and stimulated recreation for the juvenile population go a long way toward making strong, straightâ€"thinking adults Soâ€" have a good time this summer, you kids. We love you and we are proud to be able to proâ€" vide the things that make summer fun and health for you. e WAR NEEDs yOUTH _ { This year more than ever, our patrolled and guarded beaches will mean much. They are safe and accessible to all. The expensive vacation is out of the question for the patriotic citizen of 1942, beâ€" cause it requires money and time that can be more wisely expeneded elsewhere. But piecemeal vacations, in the form of an hour or two at our peerless beaches, cost nothing and fulfill the function of helpâ€" ing us to relax and forget the day‘s trials and tribulations. Caution, however, is more necessary than in fornmier years. Fewer people will be going away, more will be using Highland Park beaches. The vigiâ€" hnceofdnegmrdswillbeuxedmoreandmoreasthehotdaysin- crease. Soâ€"itbehooveseverypermmingthebuchestobevuy careful. Every parent should make sure his children learn the rudiâ€" ments of safe swimming. All swimmers should be taught to stay out of the water until at least an hour after eating. Stay out of rough water. Do not dive into strange waters; they may be too shallow or the bottom may be too stony. Above all things, do NOT swim at unâ€" guarded beaches. The Park Board employs guards who are expert swimmers and lifesavers. These guards are stationed where they can protect the greatest number of geople. It is only a matter of comâ€" mon sense to swim where the guards are. By so doing, the swimmer keeps a factor of safety working for him that would be entirely lackâ€" ing at unguarded beaches. And just as a suggestion, try walking to the beach instead of driving. Save rubber, gasoline, car wear, and avoid parking troubles. Also, add considerably to your exercise quota! ©â€"CONSTRUCTIVE PLAY ie mrmmeizn=tn i+ carciancrempanin So let us make it our business at every opportunity to make these Flower Club delegates feel that we appreciate their choice of Highland Park as the 1942 gathering place for their meetings.

"Highland Park‘s NEWS Paper for 32 Years" According to Communder Eichler, it might be necessary to forego stagâ€" ing a carnival next year owing to the war emergency, in which case he The carnival is given each year for the purpose of raising funds to carry on the Legion activities.

"In order to speed the drive to its goal, however," he said, "we would rather have you contribute before a solicitor calls upon you." One contributor‘of $25 last week decided to find out how his money is to be used. He visited and inspected the Highland Park USO club, 21 N. Greenbay Rd. According to Publicâ€" ity Chairman Alfred C. Houser, he was more than satisfied with what he saw and returned to the USO office to make another donation. The response has been splendid in Highland Park with the exception of two sections, according to Treasurer Clarence Witt. A . poor showing has been made in District 11, bounded by West Park Ave., Greenbay Rd., Ridge Rd., and Bloom St., and in Disâ€" trict 12B, the Deerfield Ave., and Berkeley Rd. area. $7,770 â€" Collected For USO William T.

Green declafed, "No social welfare law in IHlinois has so conâ€" vincingly and quickly demonstrated its value. Results can be judged through conditions and facts supported by statistical data reported from every county in the state." Mrs. Poff says, Recognition has been given to the fact that children who are in want through no ‘fault of their own and who have been deprived of many of the things needed to give them the love and security which a real home provides, should have that security made possible. This holds true wheâ€" ther they live in one of the more imâ€" poverished counties of the state or For the biennium Oct. 1941 to June, 1943 the Illinois General Assembly apâ€" propriated $16,000,000 for assistance and administration of the Aid to Deâ€" pendent Children program. The Feâ€" deral Social Security Act provides that the U. S. government will match dollar for dollar paid in assistance for ADC by the state, up to $18 for the first child in the family and $12 for each additional .child. Allowances on this basis limit the number of cases whch may be taken to some 53,000 children in order not to exhaust the funds. But 53,000 children is only 72 per cent of active cases and pending applications as of Jan. 31, 1942. The burden of those children who cannot be cared for by ADC will fall back on local relief agencies. ‘ the ages of 16 and 18 have been given the opportunity for two years‘ more schooling because of the more liberal provision of this act." ;. Inâ€" Lake County ADC is adminisâ€" Pteixo’d by ¥‘rs. Zeta M. Poff, Superinâ€" tendent of the Department of Public Welfare, who says, "48,000 children reâ€" ceive the benfits of Aid to Dependent Children payments in a month in Illiâ€" nois. Some 31,000 of these children are from families who were on relief rolls. 40,000 of these children would not have been eligible for aid under Mother‘s Pensions because they were living with needy relatives other than the mother ( ADC does not specify the child must live with the mothet‘ though about 90 per cent do), and 3,500 more children in Illinois between ADC Law Activities Outlined The League of Women Voters worked hard and long for the passage of ADC, and it is with great interest that the members scrutinize what changes it has brought about in IIliâ€" nois since it started to function last October. The objective of Aid to Deâ€" pendent Children Act is to establish a program of child welfare which will provide certain definite benefits to all the children of the state which were not available under Mother‘s Pensions. Some of these benefits are : monthly payments are more adequate (28 per cent higher per child for the state as a whole in a typical month), a greater number of needy children are eligible for aid (31,000 «more chilâ€" dren receive aid than under Mother‘s Pensions), care is available to chilâ€" dren in all conuties, and adminstration of the program is uniform throughout the state inasmuch as County Deâ€" partments of Public Welfare urfder supervision of the State Department of Public Assistance, adminster the Tenth Annual Convention Of Men‘s Garden Clubs In Session On June 30, 1942, it will be a year since the Aid to Dependent Children Act became a law in Illinois.

LIONS CLUB Dr. James Botterworth is the re tiring president, "Knowing that every patriotic resiâ€" dent of this City recognizes that acciâ€" dents help the Axis, every citizen while abroad must be on the alert, drive and walk carefully, be cautious in swimming, avoid the use of fire» works and refrain from driving after drinking intoxicants," said May or Ronan in a special safety interview today. Since January 1st, 1942 there has been an Iilinois State law prohibiting the sale and use of fireworks. Highâ€" land Park has held a City ordinance to the same effect since June 12th, 1939. Special permits may be granted by the Mayor for the purpose of holding pyrotechnic displays, or for blasting pudposes, held under proper supervision. The National Safety Council, supâ€" ported by 130 other national organiâ€" zations is conducting a nationwide campaign to prevent the usual heavy accident toll in July, due largely to the Fourth of July celebration, vacaâ€" tions and other recreational activiâ€" ties. Last year‘s accident record was alarming, not only in traffic accidents but also accidents in and around the home. There were eight serious moâ€" tor accidents in Highland Park durâ€" ing July, 1941, in which nine people were taken to the hospital. In addiâ€" tion there were two drownings in Lake Michigan. 58 From Local Board Inducted Special Program Planned For Wives And Woman Gardeners Highland Parkers included in the group were William ‘Thomas, Rayâ€" mond Cote, Leo Hart, Maurice J.
