Mrs. Bennett is a person of gmt! personal charm and so well typifies thé friendly spirit of Ravinia whieh‘ dominates these twilight hours. She has published a book of children‘s ..poems, entitled "Around the Toadâ€" ‘"stool. Table," which has enjoyed & wide sale, and a book of poems for adults, to be called "From Out the Deeper Shadow," will soon go to press. Mrs. Rowena Bastin Bennett, who is the poetry editor of Junior Home magazine and a poetess of note, will read from her own poems. It seems quite significant to present Mrs, Bennett in this series of local artists, inasmuch as she came. to live in Highland Park when a very small child, and she and her family have been prominently identified with the cultural and educational development : of Highland Park and Ravinia. . | ‘ Recommended by the Highland Park League of Women Voters â€"â€".The duties of the supervisor are divided between the ‘township and * the county. > S The . entire community, including interested friends and neighbors of Highland Park, is invited to this gathering which will convene at 4 o‘clock promptly. 1 00 STANDARDS FOR THE TOWNSHIP SUPERVISOR . Lake County is one of the 86 in IIliâ€" 1 nois in which township government has been established. This form of: government has been retained from earliest times, when it was brought to Illincis from the New El_xhnd States. Times have changedâ€" since then, and since we are still bound by this old system, we must pay particâ€" ular attention to the duties of the officers ‘under township government so that we may encourage the best qualified persons to stand for office. _ The chief executive officer of the township is the supervisor. : s DUTIES OF THE SUPERVISOR 1. IN THE TOWNSHIP _ (a) ‘The supervisor acts as townâ€" ship treasurer. He may also act SS overseer of the poor, except that in townships with over 4000 populaâ€" tion (as Deerfield, our own, for exâ€"~ ample) the board of town auditors may appoint ‘an overseer of the poor.

According to government. figures, ‘the amount thus returned would be only 20 per cent, as they consider that 80 per cent of the people now on relief are employable, and will be put on the public works program. In: this case the estimate of 20 per cent returned to local agencies would be correct, but local relief heads feel that the 80 per cent employable figâ€" ure is much too high and that thereâ€" foré they will have to take care of much more than 20 per cent of the relief now being administered by the government. f ‘Mr. Kirkham was accompanied on his visit by Mr. David Van Patten, member of the ‘Lake County comâ€" mittee of the Illinois Emergency Reâ€" li:ifp and supervisor of Newton townâ€" 8 u: 2+ & Variety Program * at Bethany Church A most interesting program wivll“ be presented in‘ the church parlors| of the Bethany Evangelieal Church| next Tuesday evening at 8 o‘clock.
