The classes are arranged accordâ€" ing to age and swimming ability. Because the pool is unusually deep in the shallow end, it is recommendâ€" ed that children be seven years of age before starting in the beginâ€" ning classes, e The ~7th war loan committee wishes to ward off any tendency on the part of the ~public t6: let down on the home front now that hostilities in Europe have come to an end. The committee contends that while the members of our armed forces are fighting and dyâ€" ing in the Pacific theatre of war it will be necessary for us on the home front to back them up by buying bonds to the utmost limit of our pocketbooks. The rate of return in the camâ€" paign to date indicates that this method of conducting a war loan drive is favorable to the vast maâ€" jority of the citizens ~f the comâ€" munity. _ The public is fast comâ€" ing to realize that a mail campaign saves time and trouble on the part of both the buyer and the block captain. The war loan committee wishes to point out that it is still not too late for the prospective buyer to send in his subscription to bond headquarters in the City Hall. The block captains will not call on the prospect unless he has failed to "mail it in." Swimming Classes at Highland Park High The swimming classes at the Highland Park high school will beâ€" gin on Juneâ€"11, and will meet twice a week for eight weeks. ‘There will be three different classes. ‘The first class will be for beginners, youngsters who do not know how to swim or who can swim fairly well, but who have had little instruction in the crawl, breast, back, and side strokes. Their class time will be devoted to instruction in these strokes and alâ€" so diving. The advanced class will be for those individuals who are strong swimmers. Class time for them will be spent on improving swimming form, developing speed and endurance, and learning 1life saving techniques. Wednesdays for recreational swimâ€" ming. â€" No instruction will be givâ€" en‘ in these classes Registration for these classes will be on Friday, June 8, and Saturday, June 9, until noon at the high school. . The tuition fee for the sixteen lessons is $6.00. Classes will begin on Monday, June 11. 1..Enlist your dog for scout duâ€" ty with Pacific combat troops. The army needs 500 large dogs immediâ€" ately and 1600 before August. Write the Quartermaster General, Washington, D.C. Milton E. Souther, chairman â€"of Highlandâ€"Park‘s 7th war loan comâ€" mittee, stated early this week that cards on all prospects who have not as yet sent in their subscripâ€" tions and pink credit slips will be in the block captains‘ hands by Friday. The committee has inâ€" structed the block captains to conâ€" tact these prospects as soon as posâ€" sible so that the complete coverage of every citizen in the community can be announced at an eary date. The government needs and asks its citizens in the 1814t week of dnnrudnct.lw.to: 2. Plan to can your surplus early vegetables and fruits. Present high biue point values indicate how necâ€" essary homeâ€"canned foods will be next winter. 3. Insulate your house now to keep it cool during summer, as well as to save fuel which will conâ€" tinue to be scarce next winter. _ While these figures indicate surâ€" prisingly good progress at so early a date in the campaign;. it must be remembered that most of the large unit sales have been made and that it will take some real conâ€" centrated effort on the part of the block captains to comb their reâ€" spective territories to make up the balance of the quota. 7th War Loan Bond Sales Pass the Half Way Mark ~With Highland Park‘s 7th war loan drive going into its 4th week, latest figures available at bond headquarters reveal that the city is well over the halfâ€"way mark toâ€" wards reaching both its total and "E" bond quotas.
