Mrs. Friedlander, whose studio is in Winnetka, has been painting for about ten years, and has exâ€" hibited at the Evanston Art cenâ€" ter, the Evanston Woman‘s club, Mandel Brothers, ete. Among the 15 pictures being shown at the Highland Park Woman‘s club is a striking water color called "Subâ€" uwrban Garages," interesting in pattern, and vibrant with color handled in a masterly fashion. Anâ€" other composition, in oils, porâ€" trays a vase of flowers, remarkaâ€" ble for its harmonious blending of rich color tones. â€" "The Waldorf" is a whimsical water color done in Saugatuck, portraying several of the Ox Bow group‘s simple resiâ€" dences. + elub. The exhibit was arranged by Mrs, James P. Moore, art chairman of the Highland Park Woman‘s Whitt Schultz? Incredibleâ€" as it may seem that anyone living in Highland _Park should not know "who is this Whitt Schultz?", we are occasionally asked, "Who is this young man who writes a regular column for your paper? I enjoy it so much." So it would seem in order that we give a brief biographic sketch of this young man, to date. Esâ€" peeixllyulimihginquiflu_hn also reached us from outâ€"ofâ€"state readers. From Wisconsin: "We alâ€" ways read the Whitt Schultz colâ€" umn. He must bev@ fine young like the young sergeant‘s column. But why does he look so sad? We wish he would have a smiling picâ€" ture taken." From Oregon: "We enjoy your column, LET‘S TAKE A LOOK. Likewise from New York. And so on. Right here we wish to say that Whitt is not at all a sad young man. . He is a igorous, smiling, hearty young° chap with many friends, He was graduated from the Highland Park high school in 1938, at which time he was known as an athlete in basketball, footâ€" ball and tennis fields. He is also listed in that year‘s Who‘s Who as (1) the best dressed boy ("Ouch," groans an oldâ€"timer, ‘"what socks, what sweaters!") and as (2) the most popular boy in his class. This we can readily believe, for making friends is the fondest thing Whitt is of. Immediately after graduating from Northwestern university, in 1942, Whitt got measured for a new suit and went into the service of his Uncle Sam. ‘The young enâ€" listee was stationed for two years in this country,. meanwhile fumâ€" ing and champing at the bit, until finally he was transferred overâ€" seas, where he became a member of the departmentâ€"known as "Coâ€" ordination of Armyâ€"News" one of that corps of writers designated as War Correspondents.

Published by Highland Parkers In the last issue of The Highland Park Press, our columnist, Whitt N. Schultz, referring to a statement by a highâ€"ranking army officer which led to a headline reading "GEN. EAKER SURE OF ANOTHER WAR," and another statement which produced the headâ€" line "Aâ€"BOMB CALLED CHEAPEST WEAPON," opined that: "Statements causing such headlines should be halted. "Anyone who talks about another war should be punished. "Anyone suggesting that we use our atomic energy to destroy huâ€" man life should be heavily punished." He concluded by asking, "Do you agree?" With all due respect to Whitt‘s sincerity, his idealism, and his good intentions, frankly, we DON‘T agree. We don‘t think Whitt meant what it seems to us he said. We oppose another war. We oppose slaughter, whether it be by atomic bomb or native spear. BUT â€" we don‘t oppose allowing any man (including Whitt) td express his honest opinion. _ If General Eaker honestly believes that the seeds of another war are now being sown, it is not only his right‘ and privilege, it is his duty, to say soâ€" and to say so loud and long. As we said, we don‘t doubt Whitt‘s good intentions nor his idealâ€" ism â€" but every witch hunt, every auto da fe which has blotted the pages of history had its wellspring in good intentions and idealismâ€"â€" misdirected good intentions and misguided idealism. ‘Tomas de Torâ€" quemada, the Spanish Inquisitor General, didn‘t burn his victims at the stake because he hated them â€" he did it for their own good, to save their immortal souls. Cotton Mather didn‘t hang witches at Salem because he dated them as individuals â€"â€" he did it for their ;;;-;n:d.,-t; save their immortal souls or because he took literally the Old Testament injunction, "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." His motives were above reproach. _ M s For these reasons, we find ourselves unable to agree. We oppose every attempt, however wellâ€"intentioned, to open the door to the curtailment of free speech and freedom of the press. If those two liberties are suppressed under any pretense, the white crosses that dot "One Damned Island After Another," in the Pacific, will be symâ€" bols of a tragic failure and the blood that gushed so freely on Omaâ€" ha Beach, the Rapido, Bastogne and Dieppe was wasted blood.
