WESTERN UNION HAS MADE SALARY RAISE PAGE SIX Lotti Mlmger Notified that Fifteen Per Cent Increases HIVe Been Granted to Employes This is a narrow philosophy, but, for the sake of speculation. let us follow It up to its logical conclusion. Suppose we do live only for ourselves, and refuse to see the lack of advantages of the young people of our town. Sup- pose the doors of the (‘enter were closed, and the young men who flock there every night were turned loose on our streets. Are we willing and ready to face the consequences of this great insurgency of youth turned over to the town to enjoy themselves as best they can, to preempt our beaches and parks, to walk our streets, and to draw to Highland Park eventually a class of be- xngsI with whom We have not yet had to cope? While We are considering the future of the Center, while we carefully weigh its advantages, it is well not to be too sentimental. Let us look the matter straight in the eye. And let us not forget that, during the entire per- iod of the war, Highland Park never had reason to complain of the conduct of the thousands 0f men in service who, when ofl' duty, made this town their home No, they are none of these. The people who have done these things have come in direct first-hand contact with the Center and all its varied activities. They haye seen the boys and girls enjoy themselves and heard the testimony of many‘a homesick boy that he would not know what to do if it hadn’t been for the Center. Intel-ed A: second elm nutter March 1. 1911. u the post office u Highland Park. Illinois. under the Act of Much 3. 1379. The “Center" is here to stay. Let who will disparage its usefulness. this tiny little beginning of a community house is too valuable for us to lose. There are too many people in Highland Park who appreciate its importance -n thisrcommunity. to permit it to become a thing of the past. And who are the people who refuse to believe in the moral influence of the “Center" in ougtown 7 Are they the ones who are most often seen there? Are they the wohien who have serVed, entertained, cooked, and baked for these young men throughout the wa'r'.‘ Are they the ones who have chaper- (med the dances, and watched the happy young people from every part of town enjoy the hospitality of the “Center 1’" Are they the ones who have gone down into their pockets and helped‘support this enterprise? Someone objects that there is no longer any necessity for such an in- stitution. Let them drop in and take a look around on any Saturday night They will find that the two large rooms are not ade quate to hold the crowd and furnish them with elbow room to move about. And when they have satisfied themselves on the number of boys who frequent the Center, let them stop and watch their wholesome enjoyment for as long as they like. There will always be some people everywhere, however, who can not see the necessity of others enjoying themseIVQs. To this small class, the world. the sunshine. the fresh air, the warm clothes. and the nourishing food, were made only for the privileged. Let the other fellow look to it. If he hasn't the good things of this world, it is his own fault. John L Udeil Pun! L. Udell Published weekly by JOHN L L'DELL and PAUL L. UDELL. at Highland Park Lake County. Illinois The Highlanh Park Pres/5 The financial report of the Community Shop published in the last week's issue of The Press presents a picture of very excellent work well done. Al- though the Community Shop is only six months old, its donations to various worthy enterprizes already amount to nearly four thousand dollars. Prominent among these donations is the pledge of two hundred dollars a month which the committee of sixty has guaranteed the Army and Navy (‘enter for its future support. For four months past this sum has been paid to the “Center" so that. by the first of February, they will have 8 little nucleus (If eight hundred dollars in the bank to their credit. With such a start from this organizstion of Women. surely it is not too optimistic to hope that the people of Highland Park will answer to the needs of the “Center."

Few, if any, individuals or concerns in this community would feel that they could afford to have, for their own exclu. sive use, a place of safety for their valuable papers, anywhere near as absolutely fireproof and burglar-proof as our safe deposit vault. The fact that our vault is so arranged that many persons can use it with perfect safety and privacy makes it possible for each of them, at very small cost, to get as much protection as if they owned the whole vault.

The days that are gone no life renew: Margaret Anglin, the distinguished dramatic actress, is the new attraction 'at the Powers Theatre. Miss Anglin’a new play, “The Woman of Bronze,” bids fair to become her greatest suc. cess. It is thought a worthy success- or to her long and unbroken list of triumphs in the theatre, among whom may be easily recalled “The Great Divide,” “The Awakening of Helena Ritchie.” “Green Stockinga,” “Lady Windermere’s Fan," and “Bil- lited,” Not to mention profitable in- cursions into Shakespeare and the Greek claasics. “The Woman. of Bronze" is the work‘ot Henry Kist- emaecker and Eugene Delard and when first produced caused a sensa- tion in Paris, where it ran uninter- ruptedly for months. The play is en- tirely modern in its theme and abounds in brilliant dialogue. It gives Miss Anglin a chance again to under- take a great emotional role. The company includes Fred Eric, Edna Walton, Langdon Bruce, Harriet Stet- ling, Gerald Hamer, Nina Morris and other players whose names insure in. terpretation of unusual excellence.
