It is the desire to be of pubâ€" lic service, to be a leader, to hold a respected and reâ€" .sponsible position in the eyes of his fellow townsman that produces the most desirable candidate. + Mental Health Group To Raise Funds For Clinic $ On May 8th, The North Shore start a campaign for funds to establish a mental health clinic Where the people are well enough informed to know that it is not old fashioned to believe that "a public office is a public trust;" where they are interâ€" ested gnough to register their conviction at the polls; and where public officials are respected because the people know that only a man of unquestioned integriâ€" ty has a chance of being electedâ€"there, the quality of public officials is high. Where the holding of public office is a mark of distinction, the people have public officials who are true public servants and you can‘t "buy" themâ€"in any sense of the word. Planned as an interâ€"community clinic, it will serve residents of the five North Shore villagesâ€"Highâ€" land Park, Glencoe, Winnetka, ?n’ilworth, and Wilmette, and 11 be governed by a board comâ€" posed of individuals from each of these five towns.

Where such "sophistication" is general (and the enemies of liberal, representative government can achieve no greater victory than the establishment of such an attitude) the quality of public officials is low. You Can‘t Buy It With Money While other communities have debated the quesâ€" tion of pay raises for elected officialsâ€"mayors, alderâ€" men, commissioners, councilmenâ€"Highland Park‘s city council has quietly passed an ordinance setting council salaries at the old level. So far as we have heard, there was no discussion of a raise, even though a raise would be legal under the law. s In taking this action, the council hasâ€"rightly, we believeâ€" ignored an increasingly popular arguâ€" ment for raises, that higher salaries would attract higher calibre men to seek elective positions. This might be true in the case of some positions, such as those requiring full time attendance, or otherwise making the officeholder dependent upon his salary for his livelihood.
