â€". _One set of facts ramins. The department is unâ€" © derpaid and undermanned. The population and the ' _ area of Highland Park demands a larger department. To get a larger department â€" to say nothing of keeping the department we have, adequate salaries are essenâ€" s tial. We are not likely to lose the older men on the < force. They are trapped by the pension to which they * have contributed for many years, and which they would lose should they leave the force for a betterâ€" paying job. We don‘t like to think of Highland Park â€"_â€"â€"â€" _ â€"as being madeâ€"up of people wihU_@otd take that sort f of advantage of men who are performing so essential * â€"a service. % â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"The Higblant Park Presgs |:>== Called into the service are James B.

Who wants to spend another 15 years or so earning a small wage to get a pension which still may not be enough to live on ? Further, what desirable new members of "the department would be attracted by a low pay scale for long hours, dangerous work (it is dangerous; even in Highland Park) and half pay after 20 years? â€" â€" The people of Highland Park are going to have to decide for themselves whether they want an adeâ€" g;ut(iie departmen%lf they don‘t, the boys wlr:i) joingd e de ent 10 years ago or more certainly made an uni%‘rtrgate choice of jobs. . t e mies If it is true that city finances will not provide for more money under present tax rates, the new council will have to get approval for an increase before they can grant the raises. In this eventâ€"they‘d do well to make sure they can get such approval before making any promises. , > â€" It is wellâ€"known that the administration has given as a reason for the lack of any pay raises during the ast two years, the statement that the city simply Easn’t got the money. They have pointed to the defeat of the referendum to raise the tax rate as the reason for the lack of funds. It is being rumored (now that the election is drawing near) that money might have been found had the administration not been so angerâ€" ed over the referendum défeat. Perhaps this talk has some basis of truth ; perhaps it is all "sour grapes." Candidates will do well to investigate before deciding and making public their decigions. However, we don‘t believe that any candidate would be doing himself, the departments, or the city any particular favor by making a statement that he was "for" more pay for more policemen, or even making a pledge to increase both the manpower and the pay scale. Few of the many possible issues in the coming city election has theâ€"potential appeal, we believe, inâ€" herent in the subject of an adequate pay scale for an adequate police departmentâ€"fire department, too, for that matter.

The American Passion Play was inaugurated at Bloomington, IIl. in 1923. Simiâ€" lar religious spectacles are also performed in South Dakota and Oklahoma. Mardi Gras and the Passion Plays, obviously are comâ€" pounded of Biblical history and tradition. + Mardi Gras, for example, literâ€" ally means "Fat Tuesday". JIt‘s the French name for Shrove Tuesâ€" day, symbolizing the passing of meat. The time and place of the first Mardi Gras celebration has not begn definitely established. Three southern cities have long waged a friendly battle for the distinction of having staged the first Mardi Gras in North Ameriâ€" caâ€"Biloxi, Mississippi, Mobile, Alabama, and New Orleans, Louisâ€" ianaâ€"the latter setting the standâ€" ards by which Mardi Gras pageants are compared. _ Easter customsâ€"and celebrations are so closely woven into the patâ€" tern of American life that we sclâ€" dom question where they came fromâ€"or when they began. Some origins cannot be determined, and conflicting stories are told about others. Most Eastertide events are related to Biblical recollections of the life of Jesus Christ. But, in many instances, tradition, legend, superstition or irreverent invenâ€" tion have seeped into the Easter season. i T[le‘ reason?

"They the resurrection morning. Himself (Jesus) the Conqueoring King; yes, He wrung the sting from death in the final round and took the victory from the grave; getting up on Sunday morning, Easter as we know it, saying "All Power Both in Heaven and in Earth is Mine."

Teneertentit in the resurrection®of Jesus which affirmed what He said: "Because I live, ye shall live also." Easter is to remind us that man is more than body; more than brains. A few years. ago I was privileged ta\ visit a place near Cook County Hospital where the bodies of unclaimed people were brought. Stored in barrels. conâ€" taining chemicals, were brains wof dozens of people. I never had the surgeon‘s privilege of viewing l‘)t’ins\ of living persons, but I suspect they would not look much different from those which I saw. I suspect further, that by observâ€" ingâ€"the material brains of a perâ€" son one could not detect whether the individual were a good matheâ€" matician, mechanic or artist. There is something unseen, invisible, and yet very real about humans which cannot be detected by the human eye, and makes them the personâ€" alities theyâ€"are. 4 Indeed, © the Christian faith views life in that very manner. There is an unseen, immortal quality â€"to human existence. For Christians <this has been verified & BETHANY CHURCH [ Rer. Lester H.

When you err through careless forgetfulness He confronts you with Easter, with the Reserrection experience, with the fact that "God sent not you and suffers for you. WESLEY METHODIST CHURCH If the message of Easter could be put in a very few words they would have to express the manner in which God deals with His erring children. As a loving father He does not destroy you, He does not even.punish you as you deserve, but He identifiecs Himself with "I shall arise!" From what? Shall we ‘arise out of‘ the myth of the traditional ~Easter? Resurâ€" rection comes through Science for some. Or else, they expect renewal through Education. "Set aside the Biblical resurrection‘‘. "Replace it with faith in the work of the labâ€" oratory and ‘trust to the knowledge of the classroom." "That will bring theâ€"â€"better things". _ Christ is God.
