W. C. A. following the regular monthly board meeting. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1988 by Miss Ingells for its "rich mixâ€" ture" of activities, its vitalty and the keen sense of responsbility among its many volunteer workers. She commented favorably on the organization and enthusiasm of the leadership council, under Mrs. Euâ€" geneâ€" Pfister, which met Monday evening with Miss Ingells. Miss Ingells, in a talk following the luncheon, pointed out that the Y.W.C.A. has a twoâ€"fold purpose: to work with individuals as a servâ€" ice and to work with groups beâ€" cause the °Y believes that groups have a definite validity. The Y. W. C. A. is one of the important organizations in the country in group work. It does a great piece of work in creating a little piece of democracy among women @and girls by forming an association for the .development of individuals and groups and for helping society. {he Pi Delta club for business and professional women will begin fall activities with a steak fry on Thursday, October 13th.

SULLIVAN In submitting my candidacy for the office of County Judge I wish to point out to the voters that the County Judge in this state holds an important position in regard to taxation in the County. He appoints the members of the Board of Review, whose . i duty it is to equalize the taxes and to whom complains are made if taxes apâ€" pear to be unfair. _ ‘The election machinety of the county * _ is controlled and under the jurisdiction of the County Judge. I am particularly interested in providing honest elections. I believe that the maâ€" jority of the citizens of Lake County are equally interested in seeing that the 1934 fraudulent election does not recur. It will be recalled that Russ Alford, the duly elected candidate for Counâ€" ty Clerk, was actually kept out of office for eleven months. Regarding my qualifications, I am thirtyâ€"five years of age, was born in Edgar County, down state, and for several years have been engaged in the practice of law. I solicit the support of all of those interested in the civic welfare of the county. I am pledged to the principle of equal justice to all. Democratic Candidate A Statement and a Pledge : County Judge Election November 8, 1938 of Lake County of Prairie View To the tax payers of Lake County I pledge that if elected County Judge I will appoint as members of the Board of Review men who have had experience in taxation and who know real estate valâ€" uations in Lake County â€"men to whom any tax payer can go for adjustment if the tax levied is actually unfair. While the statute in effect, provides that memâ€" bers of the Board of Review shall be of both political parties, it is possible to comply in this respect with the statute and still select men actually qualified by training and experience.

SULLIYVAN. 129 â€"Of n Lpood â€"verycpets Creative Writing Class Begins Series at Meeting Today "Highland Park could be the setâ€" ting for an interesting novel; we all know a different aspect of our community, some of us even reâ€" membering the boardwalk days," said Rowena Bennett in discussing ideas that can be drawn from everyâ€" day life at the organization meeting of the Creative Writing class at the Y.W.C.A. The morning was rich in the exchange of ideas and enthusiastic plans made for openâ€" ing the series of ten meetings on Thursday morning, Oct. 13 at 10 o‘clock. A novel, radio skits, poetry drama, children‘s stories, articles are included in the variety of writâ€" ing members of the group will turn in for criticism durng the sessions. "Think 200 times before using the word mystery, 800 times before usâ€" ing the word beauty, and 500 times before using them both in one line," Mrs. Bennett quoted from her friend Louis Untermeyer to prove her point that trite, general words must be carefully used in any form of writing. "But we cannot be too new, not so new that we are too strange or then we are not accepted; in fact the virtue of originality is not in newness but in genuiness," contnued Mrs. Bennett in making the fine distinctions that made her entire talk a mental challenge to her listeners. In this connection she mentioned publishers‘ interest in new material dealing with this machine age rather than a too senâ€" timental approach to things of the past. § Listeners interested in the culâ€" tural aspects of creative thought, as well as those who think on typeâ€" writers and bring written words to class, are welcome to this group. Only a few more registrations can be accepted in the Thursday mornâ€" ing group as it is planned to keep the meetings informal. Those who wish to join those already enrolled will ifind these Thursday mornings a rare opportunity to think ideas through with a writer as whimsical and at the sametime as profound as Rowena Bastin Bennett. c In response to a request for an evening group a second oglniu- tion meeting will be held Wednesâ€" day, Oct. 19 at 8 p.m. Men as well as women are invited to this opening meeting at 374 Laurel aveâ€" nue.

Avâ€" High School Elevens Lose Close Games To Evanston High Led by the brilliant running of Johnnie Heath, Coach Dave Floyd‘s Highland Park H. S, varsity footâ€" ball team fought on even terms with Evanston Saturday for three scoreâ€" less quarters and then lost in the last period, 13â€"6. Heath carried the ball ten times in the first half for a net gain of 81 yards, a piece of field running that thrilled the fans and demoralized the Evanston team. ‘The work of Joseph Joseph, Roy Nelson, and Bill Lorimer made many of Heath‘s runs possible, The line, too, played excellent balil. Paced by the work of Larry Wygal, Gene Juhrend, John Hole, Bill Peters and Neil Lorimer the "Little Giant" forward wall outâ€" scrapped their heavier opponents. Highland Park‘s score came after Al Frost, who was hurried to the game for the second half after a collegeâ€"entrance exam, caught Nelâ€" son‘s pass on the Evanston seven yard line. Heath hit off tackle for three yards and Frost took the bail over to score. Highland Park was also heading for a touchdown when Miss Chesney was accompanied TBE P RESs the timer‘s gun sounded for the half after an 80 yard march down the field. Fench and Wheeler made the touchdowns for Evanston and Broten kicked the extra point. Evidently overconfident because of their three previous victories, the H. P. freshâ€"soph team lost their game 13â€"2.
