In Lake County, the AVC exâ€" GI‘s included the "white: ballot" for a County health department in their favorable reommendaâ€" tions. ‘"Propositions submitted to Lake County voters on both blue and white ballots are desirable," the vet group‘s leaders said. and Harry A. Sellery, Jr., Highâ€" North Shore.AVC includes Arthur Baldauf, Jr., Everett Millard, .The vet group‘s executive comâ€"« mittee asked each of its members to vote and to make sure one addiâ€" tional voter goes to the polls on November 7th when a special "blue ballot" will carry the longâ€" ooujfl‘ Gateway amendment.

"A ‘yes‘ vote on the Blue Ballot is good citizenship," the Amerâ€" ican Veterans Committee, North Shore Chapter, this week reminded veterans and citizens. R Blue Ballot ‘Yes‘ Plea Of Vet Group Ed‘s note: We hardly feel that lowering the Stars and Stripes and putting the UN flag in its place solves the problem.â€" We should think twin staffs might serve the purposeâ€"the American flag the higher and to the right. + However, The League of Women Voters, presentâ€" ed the UN flag to the city. Nobody goes around preâ€" senting flags that they wouldn‘t want to have flown, so that puts the League of Women Vaters in confliet, more or less, with the DAR. But, even if you respect the DAR, you have to respect the League of Women Voteérs too. > 4 Then too, you must, we hope, repect the American people in general. And the American people in genâ€" eral, through their elected representatives, voted themselves into the United Nations as a fullâ€"fledged, and most certainly, as a duesâ€"paying member. Well, ordinarily you don‘t join an organization, pay ds heavy dues as we are paying and then refuse to disâ€" play that organization‘s emblem. Naturally you don‘t display it above the American flag, but you display it. j + ; ‘ If this UN banner dispute that is currently raging in Highland Park hasn‘t got anything else, it certainly has a lot of aspects. Let‘s look at some of them : * The DAR is against flying the UN banner. Well, you have to respect the DAR, a revolutionary organâ€" ization openly devoted to Americanism. They don‘t Want the flag flown. OK, on that basis, down comes the UN flag. o o y ® The UN Banner Modern traffic holds enough hazards for pedesâ€" trians of all ages and of all degrees of agility.

Just as certainly few problems can bear more directly on the welfare of more people than the problem of protecting all citizens from the demonstrated dangers of a car that ought to bear the legend "Four Wheelsâ€"No Brakes." partment, it may be impossible for the city to operate its own safety lane. Nevertheless, it should be possiâ€" ble to enforce a regulation that a car must be equipâ€" ped with satisfactory brakes and a windshield that provides reasonable visibility before it can be licensed for operation in this city. It seems logical that there should be some way of denying a city vehicle tag to a car that fails to meet at least a minimum safety standard.
