George Pick Buried in Rosehill Tuesday Funeral services for George Pick, 1520 8. Sheridan road, who died in Paris, France, August 2, were held Tuesday, at 4 p.m. in the chapel at Rosehill cemetery. In this community the value and service of the Comâ€" munity Service are ouuundhfi. Fot many years this unselfish and worthwhile activity has been carried on a unifying, progressive force in the city. As proof of its value it has grown in influence and resource until it is in possession of $67,000 and sufficient public supâ€" port to make it seem wise m its activity and become of wider and more Jearvice. . : *‘ To this end there has been discussed for some time the advisability of estm a center, a building which would become the sg'mbol of Community Service and the basis of further and wider activity. That such a building is desirable is unquestioned â€" it would provide a focal point for group activity, a physical loâ€" en mm in P Adriy *h tm + cprlf cOe ME _ _ â€"agâ€"nn, social affairs,.civic moveme@nts. "It would give added body and weight to civic.pride, to the feeling that Highâ€" land Park is a good place in which to live. The way for this expansion has become evident in the proposal to buy the property and structure of the Christian Science Church. To this transaction the membership of the Church ‘has agreed. The manageâ€" ment of Community Service is also favorable and has placed a deposit onthom% erty, contingent on the apâ€" proval .of the zoning board of Highland Park. The snag in the path of this worthwhile enterprise now arises from the objection ofâ€"some of the residents of nearby property, who base their claim on the violaâ€" tion of the zoning ordinance Created by this act and on the lessening of property values caused by having a center of this kind nearby. _ In the interests of the whole community their obâ€" jections should be overcome. The location is ideal for Community Service â€" joined with the City Hall, library, and Y. W. C. A., the building would form a civic group, center of the community life of the town. _ â€" The disturbance it would create would be little, if any, more than that caused by the regular routine of the present Church group Arr&lng and departing for services, meetings and regular business. The building itself is @daptable, with little alteraâ€" tion to the needs of Community Service. Game rooms, hall, committee rooms, all could be arranged at small expense. _ If this property were retaind by the present owners, the building in due course would be razed to make way for a new church. Under the proposed arâ€" rangement, the church 'ig build nearby, worthy Comâ€" munity Service will be in ion of a usable buildâ€" ing for appmxigately ;price of the land alone. Community ; ‘to Highland Park. The citizens of Highland therefore support and further its work even at theâ€" ~of disapproval from a small portion of th@â€"citizenry.
