But, .she warned that the public must have realistic goals for the clinic, and must not expect it toâ€" be a panacea. The community can‘ expect, however, considerable saving in money in treating cases which would otherâ€" wise be a burden on police, hosâ€" pitals, schools, and other agencies.

Of those quesâ€" tioned, 1193 favored the plan, while a slight majority â€"1294â€"were against it. However, only 295 persons favored continuing economic and military aid to North Atlantic Pact Nations, while 2106 opposed it. Lack of confidence in the Chief Executive‘s stateâ€" ments were reflected in the response to the question, "Do you believe President Truman‘s statement that all Communists and Communist sympathizers have been weeded out of the government?" Five persons said they believed him : 2448 said they did not. _ _ While 2491 persons said they would not vote éas of today) for Truman, and 2 said that they wouldâ€" 10 were in favor of keeping Acheson in office, while 2468 would remove him. Of course, that still leaves both of them on a very short end of a very long stick (in this area) but we were surprised to see Acheson even that far ahead of his boss. Athough President Truman‘s new low in popuâ€" larity, is a generally accepted fact, we certainly would have rated him higher in popularity than his secretary of state, Dean Acheson. However, figures released by Representative Margaret Stitt Church, on the results of the Fulton Lewis poll, indicate that at least in the Illinois 13th District, Acheson holds a slight edge over Truman.

Without approval, schools stand to lose between oneâ€" third and twoâ€"thirds of their inâ€" come. Furthermore, since it is legally impossible to hold ‘more than one tax referendum wifhin a year, a school district lnég{('to validate tax rates in Sa ay‘s ’elgc_tion would be obliged to, wait until 1952 for. communityâ€"approvâ€" al. Best estimates indicate that schools could not operate beyond Christmas, or January at most, should validation not be achieved. Districts‘ Voting The proceeds of the dinmer will go toward providing camperships for children from the Chicago Commons and Erie Settlement houses.

The â€" Illinois State Supreme Court held that in accordance with the provisions of the Revenue Act of 1947 school districts should have reached their educational rate ceilings in three steps, each step to be taken not less than a year apart. Competent school lawyers had. advised school distâ€" ricts to reach their maximum ratés in one eleetion. The Illinois State Legislature, clearly recognizing the dilemma of the schools, hastiâ€" lyâ€" passed an emergency law in March to provide schools a chance to validate rates under which they have been operating for the pas. several years. Approval Imperative Over one thousand school distâ€" ricts in Illinois, sixteen of them in Lake County, must hold validation elections, Five districts in the Highland Park area are holding these elections Saturday, May 19. They are:â€" Highland Park 107, Highland Park 108, Deerfield 109, Wilmot 110, and Highwood 111. Boards of Education throughâ€" out ‘Lake County have made it clear that the purpose of the Satâ€" urday election is only to validate the previously approved tax rates. This validation does not increase or decrease current maximum eduâ€" cational rates. This election. has been necessitated by an Illinois Supreme Court ruling, declaring illegal the voting procedures prevâ€" jously used to attain present tax ceilings.

Dunbar Club Plans Boards. of Edueation in Highâ€" land Park School Districts 107 and 108 this week made final requests for taxpayersâ€"to say "yes" to the same educational rates to which they said "yes" in previous referâ€" endums.
