"Fire safety takes on added imâ€" portance at this time," states Fire Chief Hoskin, "for not only is it interruptions of production caused by fire, but it is a vital part of the civilâ€" ian defense program. We are, or will be, rationed on products essential to present day living. We must not allow needless fires to cheat us out of the meager supply available. "The United States and Canada paid over ‘half billion dollars last year as the price of "earelessness with fire.

Smoking in bed or while relaxing on couches, has been the cause of a largeâ€"fire loss and many human fatalities. A number of glass or metal ash trays should be within easy reach of the careless smoker. ‘This will help to trainâ€"the caréless smoker and help to prevent marring of. furniture, radiator tops and window sills. Heating Equipment Regardless of what fuel is used to heat your homle a heating plant should be inspected before put in operation. Inspection should cover smoke pipes, rust holes, sagging smoke pipes, loose fitted to chimneys, the protection of partitions, â€" beams, â€" joists, . chimney cracks.

Although the paving of Green Bay road is not possible at this time, due to the fact â€"that asphalt cannot be obtained, both Green Bay and Central may be sealâ€"coated, if permission to use gas tax funds is obtained from the state highway department, The Council passed a resolution to name Central avenue an arterial highway and the resolutionwill be. sent to Springfield. Central avenue will be repaired â€" from .

Why It Is Necessary "It is sometimes~asked ‘Why can‘t Highland Park get along without the Social Service?‘ The answer to this question can best be given by the police department, our ministers, our school teachers, our mayor and .pubâ€" lic officials, in fact by» anyone with broad human sympathies who comes in contact with the unfortunate. "They will tell you that to abanâ€" don this activity, or even to curtail it at this particular time when. the war is â€" breaking â€" up so ~many â€" families, would be .more than thoughtless, it would be tragic. . "Year after year we face the um{ problem. : We must ask the public to support our work, and yet fair play and sportsmanship prevents our exâ€" plaining our needs in detail. No one would want to injure the pride of honest folks in trouble by parading their sorrow before the public. So the best we can do is to ask that Highâ€" land Parkers have confidence in the The Highland Park Victory Garden committee has ‘been gathering and ubnl.m! reports from the local Victory Gardeners.

It has been reported that an averâ€" age of 150 persons to a precinct in Highland Park have not registered as yet. It is now the law that all Iilinois citizens must register in order to vote and once registered they may vote at any time in the future for the selecâ€" tion of all county, state and federal officers. Register in Waukegan Voters can register at the county clerk‘s. office at Waukegan any day between now and Oct. 6, but the last chance to register in home precinets is Oct. 6. The county clerk is in his office between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. every day and on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. Regardless of whether one has been a citizen of Highland Park for his entire lifetime, it is necessary to register at this time. The only way a person can vote in the election if he has not registered will be if he brings two householders to vouch for him, and then he will not be entitled to vote in the next election, + Permanent Law With the enactment of the permaâ€" nent registration law, w hich ‘was fought for by citizens and legislators interested in obtaining honest balâ€" loting, only two days (one of which is past) were provided for the registraâ€" tion of voters at their precinet polling places. However, the county clerk, Jay B. Morse, established auxiliary county clerk offices about the county and enlisted the volunteer services of the League of Women Voters on a number of specified days, to assist him \i- securing early registration. In spite of this fact, only 39,000 voters, out of a potential 63000 in Lake County, During the summer the county clerk‘s office in Waukegan hasreâ€" gistered voters whenever they apâ€" peared, and will continue doing: so up until Oct.â€"6, when the office will close to registrants. It will open again for two days after the November elections. All citizens of the United States who have lived one year in the mtc.w‘ days in the county and 30 days in the precinct are entitled to register. and vote. Persons who became of age on or before the day of election, or become naturalized 30 days before election, may register and vote. Naâ€" utralized citizens are advised to bring their papers.with them when registerâ€" ing. This registration is permanent unless citizen changes his place of |t.il-et or .changes his name by marriage or otherwise. . ing that they will be able to particiâ€" pate in all future elections.
