The Council has a fine outlook for the coming year. Many new features are being planned but much emphaâ€" sis is being placed on the continued strengthening and training of all existing Seout Units and leadership. 1600 Mothers And Children â€" Helped By Arden Shore The North Shore Area Council office is located in Highland Park. It is manned by a staff of three men, Scout Executive Clifton G. Speer, and two. Assistant Scout Exâ€" ecutives, Geo. Ryan and Jack Banks. Many activities have taken place during the past year. In the Fall and Spring, weekâ€"end Training Courses were provided for all Scout Leaders at Camp Doddridge with an average attendance of about 200 men. In Highland Park, four Courts of Honor were held. These Courts have been sponsored by such civic groups as the American Legion, Rotary Club, Lions‘ Club, etc. There are only three or four Councils out of 534 in the country that have a higher record of achievement and advancement than the North Shore Area Council. Dr. C. V. Nichols is Chairman of the Highland Park District. 1 Over 2,000 Scouts, 700 Cubs, and 600 Scout Leaders are now regisâ€" tered. Nine new Troops and Cub Packs have been organized since last November. 49.3% of the "boy population of both Scout and Cub age are now enrolled.

In this relief service the Settlement has been, and still is, able to make use of all kinds of materials that are of use to human beings: furniâ€" ture, clothing, shoes, books, magaâ€" zines and games. Classes in making, reâ€"making and reâ€"conditioning are carried on daily. f Although people believe that the Northwestern University Settlement is supported and controlled by the University whose name it bears, this is not true. While there has been always the closest friendship beâ€" tween the two institutions, there is no official connection and the Uniâ€" versity does not support the Settleâ€" ment. There is a Board of Directors of thirtyâ€"six men and women and seven Auxiliary Boards of women, and one of men. Through all the years of its service Northwestern University Settlement has . worked through three distinct channels: pioneering, program and neighborâ€" hood service. & The program of education and recreation aims to supplement the work of the schools and to experiâ€" ment with new forms of informal education and to offer constructive use of leisure time. During 1937 the aggregate attendance in organized activities including preâ€"kindergarâ€" ten , kindergarten, sixâ€"toâ€"nine age children, boys and girls gym, craft, dancing,. dramatics, music, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, art, health eduâ€" cation, social clubs, men‘s and woâ€" men‘s .

Atfirhhlnfl:,leut.nh sing and, at the Waukegan Detenâ€" tion Home, a Christmas party was rven by one of the troops. Twice as many girl scouts went to camp this summer as in other Classes in Nature Study and Archery have been conducted with outstanding success.

A crlnlulm"olnl-hcw received lovely handmade gifts last Christmas from the same Girl Seout An increase from 94 to 161 regâ€" istered Girl Scouts was shown by the Highland Park Girl Scouts orâ€" ganization and, in one year of orâ€" ganization, 60 girls became Brownie scouts. In one school, every girl in the cighth grade joined the Girl Scout Troop. In practically every school, girls are waiting to organize troops, it is reported. One of the things to which Girl Scouting leads, is the attributes which make a Golden Eaglet Girl Scout. This is the highest honor which can come to a scout and was awarded at the March Girl Scout Banquet to Miss Helen Frank, a senior in the Highland Park High Sehool.

W. The Thursday morning group which met for the third time this week is surprising itself with the variety and quality of manuscripts which are anonymously turned in. This cpportunity to work intimateâ€" ly with one of the recognized writâ€" ers in America today is finding a gratifying response so that the Edâ€" ucation Committee of the Y.W.C.A.

Reading and criticism of extra manuscripts outside of class is offered those who have missed this first class session. Members of the "Creative Writing"* groups are free to write whatever interests them most as there are no set assignments and those who prefer to listen rather than scribâ€" ble are equally at home in the inâ€" formal meetings. . â€" Wednesday Writers Class Opens First Session Wednesday THE PR EBs I The Highland Park Social Servâ€" ice is a clearing house for all kinds of family problems. Its problems are {those of families struggling to keep | off the relief rolls whose reduced or small wages cannot meet the family emergencies which arise. I Although governed by an execuâ€" tive board of four officers and three directors Social Service has thirtyâ€" eight directors at large who are. asked to attend a group meeting once a year, but each of whom acts in an advisory capacity if an imâ€" portant policy or problem to be conâ€" Isidered lies in his or her particular field. Active, as always, in relief of the eedy, the Lake County Branch of the Salvation Army this year enter: its third year as a member agenc» of the Community Chest.

SALYATION ARMY ACTIVE DURING THE PAST YEAR vailable to meet the special need. Bocial Service‘s overhead consists only .of a salary for the Executive Secretary, office supplies, postage, and telephoneâ€"last year a total ot less than $1500.00. The Community Chest funds alâ€" located to Social Service are spent for such things as milk and fruit in cases of illness and undernourished children, carfare to orthopedic clinâ€" ics for treatment, or for a man or woman to apply for a specific opâ€" portunity for employment, or the amall transportation expense inâ€" volved in casework; for medicine, cod liver oil etc., eggs and milk for undérfed mothers, where the family income will not allow her to buy the things which she needs, hospitaliâ€" zation for emergency operations. The largest item of expense in family aid is nmri‘r the heading Created Work. This means that if time allows and there is an employâ€" able person in the family, work is mgplli_.tl and money thus made aâ€" feels that this newest project in creative work is a significant conâ€" tribution to adult education in Highland Park. The men of Bethany church are busy arranging the details of their annual Fatherâ€"Son Dinner which will take place Friday evening, Nov. 4.

It‘s By Jim Mooney Unseasonable warm weather kept many ducks north of our area and cut the hunters bag considerably on the opening day of th waterfowl season, Oct. 15th. talk will be given on "Worlds Felâ€" lowship Through the Y.W.C.A." The hostesses for the evening are Mesdames E. Dolan, W. Drake, E. Davis, W. Dorrick, H. Elliott, and Duck, Goose And Snipe Migration Halted by Weather The Grass Lake mudhen shooting was fine for about one hour then the birds flew high and left for the surrounding marshes and lakes. Only occasional birds were killed The Mothers Club of the Y.W.C. A. will meet on Nov. 8 with Dr. Lois Green as the speaker of the evening. Preceding this a short H. Eitner. after 8 o‘clock. There were good numbers of teal in our area during the past few weeks but they moved on south beâ€" fore the opening day. This is one of their migration habits. This left us with a small percentâ€" age of birds for the individual thouâ€" sands of hunters who turned out. Iilinois River Crowded Reports from the Illinois river area are that every blind was in use and many hunters could not find places to hunt. If we get a cold north wind durâ€" ing the next few days we can be sure of having plenty of ducks that are now in the upper Mississippi flyâ€" way, here in a short time. Mothers Club to Hear Dr. Greene I found that on the larger lakes, ducks flew too high for shots. We found a few malards that gave us some fine sporty shooting. Shooting Grounds If you are looking for an area to shoot snipe I advise you to go into the area north of Burton‘s bridge along the Fox river. Other good areas can be found north of Ringâ€" wood and Richmond near Wonder lake and ‘along Nippersink creek west of Solon Mills and Route 31. I have found by experience that & sound respect for farmers stock and fences will get you into more lands than any other factor. Wisconsin hunters report that plenty of birds are in and hunting is better than in past years. Snipe Scarce :. I hunted a barge swamp where we generally found ducks plentiful but this year the supply was not as good on the opening day. I am sure they too will be in later. We did get a few ducks and mudâ€" he:u_on Saturday. If you have any information on the duck or geese situation that will be of interest write me, Highland Park, III. Large groups of hunters are alâ€" ways rejected,. Two‘in a party are plenty, farmers will be more apt to say go ahead than give you the cold rejection or ask for an outragious fee to hunt on theirâ€"land. Park 5517 Want Ads PAGE THIRTEEN
