Yes, But doing a splendid job despite obstacles . . . . And our fire department, What a fine job they‘re doing! And one station, Ravinia‘s, (growing more and more importâ€" ant as this section gets larger daily), not even operating! (And, as an aside, someone told us the other day that so long as the Ravinia fire station isn‘t being used, why not do a bit of reâ€" modéling and make it into an apartment for some vets?) We‘ll be relying on our fireâ€" men more and more from now on as we twist thermostats to hotter temperatures during dry days. Together our coâ€"chairman, F. Sheahen (a fine worker, by the way:) and the writer called on 60 different business houses. Each is progressing. Each is doing its own job well.

WORK AND HAPPINESS We looked over the goodâ€"lookâ€" ing apartment building, The Terâ€" races, and wondered what other town along Chicago‘s North Shore, the size of Ravinia, could boast of such a large, wellâ€"constructed and wellâ€"maintained building . . . GRATIFYING ... Everyone we met was working . . . and enjoying his work . . .. We looked in on the gift shops, each filled with original gifts for the many giftâ€"giving days ahead. Yep, Highland Parkers, it was gratifying and, enlightening to take off a few hours during the week to get to know Highland Park better . . . . In fact, we were so interested in our tour that we forgot about our new and vigilant friends, the parking meters. We had put enough pennies in during one stop to last about one hour. % We were gone well over an hour before remembering ye olde meter and we rushed back to see if a ticket was on our car. But, none was there. We glanced at the meter. The frightening red "VIOLAâ€" TION" flag was not up, but way down, 60 minutes down, for some kind person, whom we don‘t know, wencrously .placed more coins in the«hungty meter for us so we‘d We stopped in at our library which seems to get better and more beautiful each day . . .

Henning, 577 Park ress chairman for the ‘ark Woman‘s Club, has d to attend. Before the war and during the expansion of defense plants, hastâ€" ily built communities of ugly, idenâ€" tieal houses sprang up in many industrial communities, often by preassembled methods. The buildâ€" ers of postwar factoryâ€"made houses assert that such "junk" cannot compete in the highâ€"priced comâ€" petitive market now, and that only the goodâ€"looking and durable types of structures survive in the field. They fi)im to automobiles as an example of appearance as a goal of massâ€"produced goods. methes "dhaim is nds to imay it leads to flimsy structures and ‘U-ntiml row housâ€" ing. Owtlers of prefabs in Deerâ€" field and elsewhere declare that wellâ€"made prefab panels and roofs are safer, stronger and better inâ€" sulated than conventional houses. Row housing, they blame on the conventional builder. Highland Park‘s prefab spokesman, Everett Millard, who is asking the city for permits to build here, says his Gunnison homes are the best anâ€" swer to tow Housing, sinee they ean be built on individual, seatterâ€" ed lots with massâ€"production econâ€" omy. Officially, a city building eode can pay no heed to the beauty of any type of architecture. It aims only at structural, fire and saniâ€" tary safety, the city fathers say. Other critics suggest prefabs should be segregated in separate communities, rather than mingled with _ conventional dwellings in areas of high real estate values. The answer to this, advocates beâ€" lieve, is that wellâ€"designed manuâ€" factured homes are as good or better than other houses, and should be chosen by owners on a competitive basis of value, instead of forming separate areas of idenâ€" tical appearance. And so the arguments go. What will Highland Park decide? This week, citizens watched with interâ€" est to see what will come out of the huddle in which Bertram Webâ€" er, Norman Schlossman, Walter Durbahn and Philip Cole are callâ€" ing signals for future building plays.

Several types of pompon mums, those dainty button and daisyâ€"like blossoms, have always held off blooming until Thanksgiving, but the growers have tricked them inâ€" to flowering for Sweetest Day, October 16. "We needed these pompons to complement our roses, carnations, orchids and gardenias in rememberances for Sweetest Day," stated a spokesman for the Allied Florists‘ Association. At least one member of Dame Nature‘s colorful family has met its comeupance at the hands of the florists. The flower growers have slipped one over on the ladies of the Carduaceaeâ€"chryâ€" santhemums, to you. The mum waits for the long nights and late mornings of late fall, when the sun sets early and rises late, growing principally at night.
