Both the Highland Park Poâ€" lice DEL-thm Highland Park > Safety m-m-.: have recognized the fact more light is necessary both at the staâ€" tion and at the crossing of Central avenue and St. Johns avenue. The Highland Park Citizens Safety Comâ€" mittee feels that if additionalâ€"lights are put in at these points the trafâ€" fie situation can be handled much better during the evening hours. __ fety Committee recognizes the necesâ€" sity for a twoâ€"way radio system for the squad cars of the Police Deâ€" partment. At the present time, our squad.cars ‘are equipped only for a oneâ€"way system. ‘The Police Deâ€" partment can give instructions to the officers of the squad car, but they are unable to communicate back to the Police Department. Modâ€" ern efficient police service requires a twoâ€"way system so that the police at "headquarters and the officers of the squad car are capable of talking to each other. For example, if the Police Department is warned to watch out for a dangerous characâ€" ter. and to seize a suspicious autoâ€" mobile, the officer of the squad car can follow the suspicious car in question and at the same time be talking to police headquarters in determining the ownership of that car. Without losing track of the suspect, the officer of the squad car can communicate with other squad cars on duty. It is evident that a twoâ€"way system between the Police Department and the squad cars is a necessity for good, efficient work. The Highland Park Citizens Safety Committee recommends to theâ€"citâ€" izens of Highland Park that our Police Department be equipped with a twoâ€"way radio system. EDWIN L. GILROY, Chairman.

Kay Francis is the star of this comedy of societyâ€"andâ€"politics mt the naâ€" tional capital. Supporting her are Preston Foster, Verree Teasdale, Anita Louise, Victor Jory and a dozen other notables. "First Lady" is a polite treatise on the Washingâ€" ton society, as seen from the cornâ€" er of a merry observer‘s eye. Not to be taken seriously, "First Lady" provides, nevertheless, one of the most amusing evenings one can spend in a theatre. in his carefree, flippant dpmedy performance while Stuart Erwin accounts for many of the laughs and others prominently cast. furâ€" nish splendid characterization. "52nd Street" offers all the fun of a night out without the hangâ€" overs, plus an appealing and romanâ€" tic story, which shows how the arâ€" istocratic old order is transformed by the democracy of young love and swing. Kenny Baker, whose outâ€" standing voice has made him a coast to comst sensation on the air, is featured as the male lead.
