The attention of thinking city officials and thinking citizens has beun drawn more and more to the soâ€"called Butler Bills, one of the effects of which, is to limit the tax rate municipalities can levy without the express apâ€" proval of the taxpayers, expressed in a referendum. One of the most heartbreaking political tasks in the world is that of trying to get the American Voter to exercise the privilege of votingâ€"a privilege thousands have died forâ€"a privilege that thousands of the nonâ€" voters would die for if some power threatened to take it from them. Some city officials have complained, perhaps with some justice, that the great drawback of this provision is that "you can never win a referendumâ€"even under ideal conditions." Certainly referendaâ€"held in Highland Park, North Chicago and Waukgan have lost. They have lost, largely because not enough voters have bothered to BE voters. Therein, we believe, lies a potential source of greatly improved municipal (and state and â€"national) governâ€" ment. § District 108 Launches A comprehensive program of safety is well underway in School District 108 that complies with the State law of Illinois for the teachâ€" ing of safety. The Board of Eduâ€" cation and its superintendent, Mr. Lester B. Ball, have published a preliminary edition of a pamphlet entitled "Basic Plans for Safe Living", a manual for workers in education, teachers, parents, board of education, and children. Its author, Stanley W. McKee, prinâ€" cipal of the Lincoln School, and an authority in the field of school safety, points out in the publicaâ€" tion that every community needs: 1) modern bicycle ordinances, 2) a licensing program for bicyclists «We don‘t pretend to know to what extent needed city services will have to be curtailed or even eliminated before the voters will awaken to the fact that the unâ€" exercised privilege of voting is as bad or worse than no vote at all. We don‘t pretend to know how many homes will have to burn because there is not enough money to hire enough firemen. We don‘t know how many crimes will have to be committed because there is not enough money to hire enough policemen. We don‘t know how many youngsters (maybe YOURS) will have to be killed because there is not enough money to hire crossing guards. Each school. in District 108 is helping the children to become safetyâ€"minded by holding Bicycle Clinics. A member of the *"‘ghland Park Police Department, ae Amâ€" erican Legion, the school principal, and members of the P.T.A.s will cooperate in running the clinics. Checking of brakes, tires, reflecâ€" tors, and a record of the bicycle‘s condition and serial number will be taken. There will be checkâ€" ups by the homervom teachers and Patrol Boys after the clinics to see that repairs to the machines BUTâ€"when the price (it can be fearfully high) is finally paid, and voters start to vote, we shall have more government and fewer bureaus, more statesmen and fewer politicians. s 38) functional school boy patrols, 4) adequate fire ordinances, 5) adequate safety devices at railroad and street crossings, 6) functional police and fire departments, 7) a program of safety education in the schools.

"INFLATION AND DEFLAâ€" Highland Park, Hilinois, Thursday, October 7, 1948 Strict Economy Keeps Budget Within Bounds CHEST FUNDS RUN 12 AGENCIES Almost a ‘hundred block capâ€" tains and chairmen met at a Worker‘s Rally at the Community Center Monday evening to offiâ€" cially open the 1948 Highland Park Community Chest Drive. Houseâ€"toâ€"house solicitation begins immediately, and it is expected that Highland Park will meet its $63,000 quota within the next few days, * . The rally was opened by Spenâ€" cer R. Keare, president of the Community Chest. After a few opening remarks, President Keare read a message from Mayor Robâ€" ert F. Patton, who unfortunately had a previous engagement which prevented his attendance. Mr. ‘Keare then outlined in brief the various charitable functions of the 12 local agencies which are beneâ€" ficiaries of the Community Chest funds and explained why each of them is a member; He outlined how the Chest Committee studies the work of the various agencies for months, and explained the strict requirements set up for chest membership. "Actually, if it weren‘t for the Community Chest," stated Mr. Keare, "we Highland Parkers would be called upon to make 12 separate donations to worthy orâ€" ganizations. However, your one contribution to the Chest enables you to help all twelve at once!" , Mr, Keare then turned over the meeting to Herbert T. Schaffner, general campaign chairman, who explained in detail the amount of money allocated to each of the 12 agencies for 1948. The $63,000 required this year, Mr. Schaffner pointed out, is 5 percent more than last year‘s budget, far less than the general rise in operating costs. This slight increase was made possible ‘only byâ€" applying strictest economy measures. ... Mr. Francis D. Weeks, assistant campaign chairman, then exâ€" plained in detail how each block captain is to work. He stressed the necessity of getting a contriâ€" bution from every Highland Park home and asked workers in parâ€" ticular, not to miss new residents.
