Before relinquishing her chairmanâ€" ship for the summer, Mrs. Rubens made a complete report to the Civilian Defense coordinator on the salvage effort from October 15 through May 15. In reporting on the recent drive she states in part, "The amount of salvage received in no wise indicates a lack of cooperation and interest on the part of our citizens, but rather points to the thoroughness with which attics and basements have been cleaned out preâ€" viously, and to the constant education as to the need for turning in materials as they become unfit for use." Another item in the report was on tin can collection and shipment. The total number of pounds shipped up to May 14 was 138,790. Included in this figure are the cans from Fort Sheriâ€" dan which are contributed to Highland Park and for which the city receives the money and poundage credit.

Mours are from 9â€"11 45 a.m. Our thoughts will be further afield than ever this Memorial Dayâ€" with our men in the Pacificâ€"in England and Africa. Their thoughts will be with us too. There are a couple of other thoughts that will be in their minds too, whether they are lying in a muddy fox hole in New Guinea, sweating it out in an African slit trench, or in an English air raid shelter. ‘I‘hx-lhonlm are largely concerned withâ€""After this is all overâ€"what 2" As far as postwar planning is concerned, the soldier hears reports that the people on the home front largely beleive it to be foolish, They recall veterans from the last war selling apples oh the steet corner and they wonder. The soldier doesn‘t expect a post war paradise and he thinks that anyone who looks with starry eyed assurance to such a world is crazy. He does think that it is not too early to start preparâ€" ing for it. He accepts the fact that there will undoubtedly be crackâ€" pot ideas hathed by some of the finest crackpots bureaucracy can produce. «He thinks that there will be a quota of crackpots in governâ€" ment as long as there are governmentsâ€"but he thinks an effort should be made. There are two things we can do.‘ We can determine to hang on and fight until the unconditional surrender is a fact. We can let it be known that we are in favor of post war planning. And we can let it be known that we want that planning to start now and to be handled intelligently. If the men at the front know that we are doing those two things they‘ll be more than glad to do the rest. Soldiers are interested largely in two questionsâ€""Are the people at home asâ€"convinced as we are that this time we‘ve got to win not only the war, but the peace as well," and "What do they really think about post war planning?" The task that lies ahead for them is hard and bloody, and they know it. Cracking the "Fortress of Europe" and driving the Jap out of his new territories in the Pacific is, the man in the ranks believes, going to be a long, hard grind. Almost certainly the time will come when some will feel that a negotiated peace will be preferable to further bloody sacrifice. But the men in the ranks want it finished this time so that as nearly as is possible the world can be assured that another generation will not have this job to do again. a Highland Park, Hlinois, Thursday, May 27, 1943 MEMORIAL DAY â€"â€" 1943 Chamber Symphony To Present Concert At Community Center The Highland Park Chamber symâ€" phony, conducted by Armand Baker, will appear in concert at the Commuâ€" nity center, Green Bay road and Cenâ€" tral avenue, on Sunday, June 6, at 4 p.m. & The program will include the "Clock" symphony of Haydn, the Handel Concerto Grosso for strings, Opus 6, No. 12, Romance for strings by Sibelius and the Prelude and Menâ€" uetto from «Henry Hadley‘s "Suite Ancienne."
