PAGE FPOUR Eintered as Second Class Maiter March 1, 1911, at the Post Office at Highland Park, Ilinois Tmined Thursday of each week by the Udell Printing Company, Udel} Subscription Price, $1.50 per year Rasolutions of condolence, The Highland Park Press conducts a union shop and has alâ€" ways been favorable toward the good in labor unions, at the same time realizing the bad practices which have crept into many unions. One of these is the taking of tremendous sums in dues from workers and using the money to support crimâ€" inally inclined officers who use most of the money to their own advantage and who keep themselves in office by strong arm methods. Another bad practice is law breaking by an officer or union members as éxemplified by the vandalism in Highland Park this week. A few gallons of red paint thrown on several buildings might not be considered very serious in the crime centers of our large and crime ridden cities but Highland Park is a comâ€" munity of law abiding citizens and a small bit of vandalism looms large here and reacts against the cause of union labor. At the present time with internal strife and certain crime and racket infected areas union labor needs the good will and supâ€" port of as many people as possibleâ€"particularly the type of influential citizens included among Highland Park residents. Divine King of Kings, we are greatful for thy leadership in the past year. What is thy will, and what opportunities has thou placed in our way for the year just ahead? As the founder of God‘s Throne and justice, help us, Oh Father, to believe in your divine power, and to depend upon thy mercy this New Year! May thy radiant and divine presence drive away those horrible clzuds of war, hate, and greed for profit, from which our civilization is dying. Stir up a Holy zeal within the hearts and souls of those who profess to be leaders and teachers of men, who on the other hand are the most cruel and wicked defamers of God‘s great name! Lead and help our President and the members of our Government, and all human society at home and abroad, with clear vision to seek and approve only that which will improve our civilization. Oh God, we do not know what the future may hold for us this New Year. Help us, therefore, to trust and not be afraid. Help us to think, undertake, and work in the spirit of Christâ€"Amen. Alfred R. Esmiz, one of Highland Park‘s successful busiâ€" ness men has written the following New Year prayer which will appear soon in a religious pamphlet. Vandalism broke out in Highland Park this week with the smearing of red Trint over the store of a local merchant and several homes. The owners of this store and these homes have omplox:d nonâ€"union workers recently to do painting. Thereâ€" fore the assumption is that the vandalism was the work of union or union enthusiasts. The righteous cause of union labor has been held backmany years by these types of activity. Undoubtedly those who comâ€" mit these acts mistakenly believe that they are serving their cause. The sane, more clear thinking element in the unions should control the situation in protection of themselves. For the sake of unian labor and Highland Park we hope that no more vandalism is practiced here. Now, as a tired old year ebbs outward and a fresh new year sweeps in, America, as is the custom at this season, takes inventory of her hopes. It is an excellent time to do thisâ€"for the New Year‘s celebration expresses the hoxc[ul Spirit of Youth; and America, above all nations, is a Land of Youth. In America, the vigor, the strength, the imagination, the faith and the courage of Youth still persist as our dominating charâ€" acteristics. What America hopes is that in 1938 those qualities will be given room for action. What she hopes is that the fears and hobbles and Ieldinf- strings, borrowed along with many other odd devices from the tired old nations of Europe, may be cast aside, and that our people again may be permitted to face the future with their traditional initiative and faith. What she asks is assurance that our distinctive American qualities and m’rtua: may find expression, without discouragement from governâ€" What she asks is and virtues may find ment or other sources. For the American people have all the resources to make the year 1938, and tho&e that follow, successful. ( They have resourcer in lands, in minerals and in oqut'{nua.t. unâ€" equalled elsewhere on earth. They have unlimited reserves in skill and atrength and intelligence.

Without such coftâ€" dence they could not have created our great nation, t If these resources, material and spiritual, are permitted to be realâ€" ized; if this faith receives opportunity for expression, nothing can 'hg America. .If her people are only given reason to believe that her natural progress will not be interrupted by borrowed theories and inhibitions, America will plunge resolutely then{ Todu!
