Under the capable direction of Miss Madeline H. Millikan, Recreâ€" ation Superintendent of Lake counâ€" ty, and her officially appointed staff of Deerfield workers, Ralph Fox, Miss Margaret Pfister, Larry Waterman and Eugene Seyl, regisâ€" tration was completed promptly, and the children enjoyed their first afternoon of directed© community activities. Federal Recreation Project in Deerfield Has Large Attendance Interest and appreciation of the opportunity for supervised play were clearly indicated by the regâ€" istration of more than fifty chilâ€" dren on Monday afternoon at the opening of the Federal Recreation Project, which is sponsored by the Board of Education, at Deerfield Grammar school. ® It is the consemsus of opinion that inasmuch as the city has adeâ€" quate facilities for the disposal of all refuse and as citizens are reâ€" quired to pay for the removal of garbage from their premises, there is no need for the disposal in ponds or in any other location other than in the incinerator. Property owners living in. subdiâ€" visions adjacent to this site claim that using this ;;gg):; a city dump will be injuriou their property, decreasing the value of the land. They also contend it will likewise be unhealthy and unsanitary, will breed rats, and will be unsightly. Highland Park has an incineraâ€" tor where refuse is supposed to be burned, but it is reported that great quantities of refuse is strewn about the ground and at times burned in the open. Delay Action On Using Pond For Refuse Disposal Yours very truly, BRIERGATE COMMUNITY CLUB By John W. Munro, President. Attest: Elizabeth G. Abbott, Secretary. Denzel‘s pond is located to the right of Deerfleld road just west of the Northwestern railroad and Skokie Valley line tracks. A special meeting of the club was held today, and after a full discusâ€" sion of this question, a motion was made and carried by a unanimous vote that the club oppose in every way the proposed leasing and use of the Denzel property for any of the purposes contemplated. Accordingly the Briergate Comâ€" munity Club respectfully requests that you withhold further getion on this matter; and that, if any action is to be taken, ample notice be given to the club and to all other interestâ€" ed persons so that their views may be presented at a public hearing to be held on this question. Residents ‘of the western section of Highland Park petitioned.~the City Council early this week to take no further action regarding negoâ€" tiations to lease the Denzel Pond for disposal of refuse until a pubâ€" lic hearing could be held. At a special meeting of the City Council, yesterday morning it was agreed that the final action would be delayed until July 11. The following letter was sent to the City Council:, To the Honorable Mayor and Memâ€" bers of the City Council, Highâ€" land Park, IIl.: Gentlemen: The Briergate Community Club, an association of property owners and residents living in and near the Highland Park Gardens and Sherâ€" wood Forest Subdivisions, . wishes to advise you of its attitude respectâ€" ing the proposal of the city to lease the Denzel pond for disposition of refuse and other waste material.

The methâ€" od of getting a tasty Sunday ‘ln-‘ ner, whith will be open to old and young alike at a cost of only a few pennies, will be one of the surprise events of the carnival. | Legion‘s Annual Fun Carnival Promises Many Novelties to the Secretary of State. It is hoped that additional loans can be m#de to more students during the years 1988 and 1939. Candidates for loans are_required to keep in touch with the committee of busiâ€" ness men and from time to time appear before the Rotary Club to evidence their progress. A careful investigation is made of each stuâ€" dent as to his scholarship while he was a student at High School, by reports from his instructors at the University and by credentials signed by responsible people assurâ€" ing the Rotary Foundation that the student will go through with his work. One of the peculiar provisâ€" jons in all of the loans is that any student who marries automatically loses his right to further loans and the loans already made become imâ€" mediately due. The Rotary Club of Highland Park is endeavoring through this addiâ€" tional activity of the Foundation to live up to its basic ideal, "Servâ€" ice Above Self," "He Profits Most Who Serves Best.‘ All of the officers and directors are ready to furnish information to the public from time to time as to the needs of their organization and the work that they are doing so that parties desiring to assist ge work can coâ€"operate with them. H. P. Rotary Club Report on Student Loan Foundation Two young men are in their senâ€" ior year at universities due to the first loan made during 1988 by Highland Park Rotarians through their affiliate, Student Loan Founâ€" dation of Highland Park Rotary, a not for profit corporation. One of these young men is attending the University of Michigan and the other is a senior at Cornell Colâ€" lege, Iowa, and both are making excellent records. This Foundation is in no sense a charitable crganization as each student is required to sign a note, carry life insurance and to prepare for the reâ€"payment of the advanceâ€" ment made within a reasonable time after graduation. The purpose is to keep this money as a revolvâ€" ing. fund and as it grows to loan larger and larger sums to a broadâ€" er field of students. Several reâ€" quests have been received from outâ€" side sources for leave to contribute to the fund and lMdV-;i;i;;: ships may be established in this way. The Foundation is incorporated under the laws of the State of IIlâ€" inoi._-_ mfl annual reports are made This new venture of the Rotary Club of Highland Park completes its first year in June of 1938 and the officers elected for the succeedâ€" ing year are as follows: Presidentâ€"Grover Q. Grady. Secretaryâ€"R. H. Price. Treasurerâ€"Lewis Sinclair. Joseph Garnett is a member of the directors and is also exâ€"officio a member by reason of being presâ€" ident of Rotary. The other memâ€" bers are Dr. Donald E. Rossiter and Marvin Wallach. The finances of the organizaton as shown by the first report are in excellent shape and represent a start for a larger community enterprise, designed to help outstanding students of Highâ€" land Park area who are not able to complete their college work. The Foundation does not aim to send men to college but to help those who have started and find themâ€" selves embarriassed in obtaining funds to complete their education.

Bon Air Country Club Stages Charity Show Over 4th Holidays A stormy romance between a stage star who sacrifices her hapâ€" piness to keepher extravagant famâ€" ily in funds, and a carefree indiâ€" vidualist who believes in being happy at all costs, forms the theme of "Joy of Living", ‘showing on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. With Irene Dunne and Douglas Fairâ€" banks Jr. in the top roles, the film presents these divergent viewpoints in delightful fashion, and the two quarrel their way through hilarious complications to a rousing concluâ€" sion. "Fools for Scandal", that sceanâ€" dalightful comedy in which capriâ€" cious Carole Lombard and gay Ferâ€" nand Gravet hold nothing sacred and let the fun fireworks pop, is on the Alcyon‘"screen tonight and Friâ€" day as one of the doubleâ€"feature attractions. _ That indescribible charm of Ameriean boyhood and its adventures which Booth Tarkingâ€" ton managed to get into all of his stories about Penrod and his pals, is brilliantly shown once again in "Penrod and His Twin Brother," also to be presented. This movie, quite as delightful to grownâ€"ups as to adolescents, features those handâ€" some Mauch twins, Billie and Bobâ€" by. "Call of the Yukon" is one of the most interesting and exciting bits of entertainment to. be offered to the local movieâ€"going public in many months. The fact that the picture was based on one of James Oliver Curwood‘s most popular stories, "Swift Lightning," should in itself be recommendation enough. Richâ€" ard Arlen, Beverly Roberts and Lyle Talbot are starred. On the Aleyon for Saturday only.

Because of the fine attendance and cooperation on the playgrounds ggm season the playground staff of the Park Board of Highland Park has been able to arrange a more comprehensive and interesting proâ€" gram than ever before. Each week finds some new activity started and being enjoyed by the children as well as the adults of the commuâ€" nity. In order to prepare for these playground features, Tuesday and Thursday afterncons have been set aside on the program schedule as the time to emphasize these activâ€" ities. Volley ball, tennis, badminâ€" ton, horseshoes, and other games are being added to the regular proâ€" gram schedule and children may be found on the playgrounds at any time playing and receiving instrucâ€" tion in these games. The newest sensation in the raâ€" dio world, "The Mystery Phileo," will be on display, demonstrated on the grounds, and given away. Sevâ€" eral other grand prizes will also be awarded. The playground swimming classâ€" es held for all the playgrounds at Central and Roger Williams beaches every Wednesday and Friday morning have proved unusually successful this summer, making the objective of the staff, that of teachâ€" ing every child registered on the play@grounds the fundamentals of swimming before the season closes, seems more possible of being fulâ€" filled than ever before. There is still time for the chilâ€" dren of Highland Park who are not as yet registered to take adâ€" vantage of these classes. All that is necessary is that the children report either to the instructorsâ€"on the playgrounds or at either of the two beaches. There is no charge for any of the playground activâ€" ities.
