Pettis, Deerfleld Editor This is an excellent thing. It has particular value at a time when discouragement and pessimism flood so much of the world. For America, seen and understood as a whole, has an inspiring message to impart. To all who view it with open eyes and open mind, America offers not only grandeur of scenery ,but a record of grandeur of character on the part of its builders as well. In the fertile farms of the Mississippi Valley, in the producâ€" tive industries of the East, in the spreading ranches of the great West, it dramatizes the ltor{eof the men who, by their own strength, their own energy, their own spontaneous and creative courkge, harnessed the power of a continent to build a free and mighty nation. â€" Everywhere the tourists will see the America which was made by the labor and thrift, the enterprise and the energy of our pioneers and those who followed them. MWhat a pity the oppressed peoples of Europeâ€"who are taught that in order to advance, men must be the instruments and the dependents of the Stateâ€"cannot see these things! ° What a pity the theorists who urge on our people a policy of leaning ui)on government and looking to the politicians rathâ€" er than to their own abilities for help and direction, will not understand America‘s message! iy tl::rywhr&hy wfllduo wlnL cl:o and hudr:en lachieved unshac spirit of a people who deman only opporâ€" tunity and independence. To all who really see America it tells the inspiring story of what can be achieved by the free spirit of a great people unâ€" shackled by dictatorial repression.

High School For Deerfield, Project Of Civic Group A high school for Deerfield has been uppermost in the minds of a group of Deerfield men for the past year. It is now a new thought, for the Deerfieldâ€"Shields Board of Eduâ€" cation had Homer Davis of Chicago make a survey of the district a numâ€" ber of years ago. The outcome of that survey was that the district purchase sites for branch high schools in Lake Forest and in Deerâ€" field. In 1937 the group of men inâ€" terested in having a high school met with the high school board of eduâ€" cation and again Mr. Davis made a survey of the district. This survey showed ‘ that Deerfleld would be ready for a high school in about five years. â€" Again, in June of 1938, this same group of men presented their plea for a Deerfield high school at a speâ€" cial â€" meeting of the high school board of ‘education. The plea of the group is that now is the time to build when a grant of 45 per cent of the cost will be assumed by the federal government and in five years this opportunity may be lost. No decision was reachâ€" ed by the board, but the matter will be given further considération. It is estimated that a school can be built for $8300,000 including the government grant. The district owns fen acres at the north end of the village and that property is alâ€" ready paid for. Further discussion of the proâ€" posed high school for Deerfield was presented at a meeting of the Deerâ€" field Civic Assogiation on last Tuesâ€" day evening. It is the concensus of opinion of members of the assoâ€" ciation that now is the time to build. The next meeting of the Civic Asâ€" sociation will be held the last Tuesâ€" day evenifn@ in July. At this meetâ€" ing the Deéerfield water question will be brought up for discussion, accordâ€" ing to an announcement made this week by president Kenneth Weir.

Hedlund, pastor TEN YEARS AGO T HB P RE 88 Public Recreation Hits New High in 1937 With 1280 communities in the United States and Canada spending local funds for recreation under leadership, more than ever before, public recreation hit a new high in 1937, sccording to the 1938 Year Book of the National Recreation Asâ€" sociation. The 1987 figure surpasses hy 115 communities the previous high mark of 1165 in 1984. It exâ€" ceeds the 1986 figure by 158. Among recreation activities, outâ€" door swimming continues to lead in number of participants with an inâ€" crease of 20,000,000 over the 1936 figure to almost 100,000,000. Parâ€" ticipation in softball passed particiâ€" pation in baseball for the first time. Characteristic of this trend is the fact that 176 new baseball diamonds were opened for the first time in 92 communities in 1937 while 754 new softball diamonds were being openâ€" ed in 167 communities. Tennis courts outâ€"number all other recreaâ€" tion facilities with horseshoe courts and softball diamonds a close third. Two new activities were added to the special activities list in 1937, paddle tennis and bicycle clubs, and returns indicate their general acâ€" ceptance as part of the recreation program. Pronounced increases over 1936 are noted in the number of different individuals taking part in adult handerafts, handball, horseâ€" shoes, and choral groups. The numâ€" ber of cities reporting archery, badâ€" minton, handéraft, and softball is considerably larger than in 1936. Recreation leaders, 22160 in number, were almost 2,000 more than in 1986, and of these 3,067 were permanent leaders employed fullâ€"time yearâ€"round. In addition there were 10,878 persons who gave volunteer service to local commuâ€" nity agencies. The report indicates that at least 20 more cities have, since 1936, adâ€" vanced to the level of yearâ€"round operation of a public recreation proâ€" gram with a fullâ€"time executive in charge. One hundred fiftyâ€"one cities report municipal recreation comâ€" Install o | rommiches Automatic Gas Water Heating There is no home convenience comparable to a dependable, conâ€" #stant source of hot water.

An Aftermath of the Recent Flood One of the tragedies of the late freshet. revolves around our good reighbor, Mr. Grant. Carrier, 692 Central avenue. Besides the garden which Mr. Carrier has had for a number of years, near his residence, he made arrangements to cultivate two acres well back from Prairie avenue, a full mile from his home. A final report is awaited, but for fortyâ€" eight hours this splendid two acre "field"â€"beans, corn, potatoes, etc. â€"has been inundated. * Mr. Carrier is undaunted. Notâ€" withstanding that he has been a grandfather for many years, his close acquaintances know he can turn his hands in many directions, concrete work, carpentry, roof reâ€" pairing, outside painting, in fact, most anything you may mention "Grant" can do. He has at all times preferred hard work and industry and if necessary, between other activities, he will reâ€" plant his two acres. Mr. Carrier can be reached on phone Highland Park 2875.
