All interested persons are asked to atâ€" tend, and express their opinions on the ordinance at that time. _ _ The purpose of the Cognty Son-I ing ordinance is ‘to re property value in rural districts and increase safety throughout the county. If this new ordinance is adopted, it will be necessary for all property owners to procure building permits, before : erecting any buildings.. It is hoped through this system to disâ€" courage the building of ununuig:'{ propetty ‘and thus preserve rights of property owners flmm‘h-‘ out the outlying districts which are. not governed by city o{dit'x,anee:. ,i 2400 ds utss bnnduitnmct Pnd Aibrsars. MB 5 eP PA I The |Lake County Zoning Comâ€" mission, which is headed by John J. Hogan, chairman, has devoted a great deal of time in preparing this ordinance, and maps, and receive no compensation‘ for their efforts. The interest of the public is solicâ€" ited in this project, & Hope Summers to Bring Theatre to Ravinia, Wednesday It isn‘t often that the theatre is brought to Ravinia, but just that is to take place on Wednesday afterâ€" noon, December 14, at 2:80 p.m. at the Ravinia Woman‘s club. Hope Summers, one of the finest play inâ€" terpreters, will read "Our. Town," Thornton Wilder‘s poignantly beauâ€" tiful play about a small New Engâ€" land village.. Miss Summers is a dramatic Artist as well known in the‘ east as on the north shore where she is a member. of the Threshold Players, Winnetka Drama Club and many other organizations of like interests. Her marked tal« ent as a dramatic reader is comâ€" bined with a delightful personality, a lovely voice and a striking appearâ€" ance, Miss Summers has the facâ€" ulty of making a play live before the eyes of her audience. The Raâ€" vinia Woman‘s club is fortunate, inâ€" deed, to have this splendid program for the December meeting. Someone in Highland Park, no doubt, is the owner of a billiard table which they would like to disâ€" pose of. The patients of Hospital No. 105 at Great Lakes are greatly in need cf a new billiard table, as well as billiard balls, for the one which ‘they now use has been reâ€" paired so many times that it is not in, very good playing condition, and the balls are badly battered. _ â€" Hospital 105 Needs Billiard Table If anyone in this community has one which they no longer have use of, would they kindly get on touch with the American Legion or call the HicHraxp Park PrEeSss. . j The men at . Hospital 105 are largely mental cases, and it is only, thru the means of entertainment that long hours of idleness are oc« eupied. A ‘new table and billiard balls will bring considerable enjoyâ€" ment to these men. : Two Burglaries In One Day Too Much For Caspar Santi When thieves entered the Highâ€" wood Cafe, at the corner of Highâ€" wood and Waukegan avenues, last ’r-nvday morning and took liquor, c and cigarettes valued at about $300, Casper Santi, proprietor, was considerably peeved, but when they entered his home that evening and took $30 belonging to his wife and daughter he‘was gimply "fed up" Highwood police believe the two jobs were pulled by the same parâ€" ~The Highlanh Park Press mmemen en eemcsmomnennnesternmercrnemmity To Membership In Sheridan Rifle Club TI_nSheridanRiflaMMd.h has ‘formally recognized the invaâ€" sion of the shooting world by women. The Sheridan club has adâ€" mitted sevéral women to full memâ€" w after removing the word â€" from its former constituâ€" tional qualification, " . . . any perâ€" sonally qualified male db-:rf the United States of America, of 18 or more years of age." _ * t The ease with which m,np-i idly adapt themselves to the deâ€" mands of fine shooting has increased their participation tremendously, in the past few years, over the entire country. In view thereof, the selecâ€" tion of women as Olympic and Inâ€" ternational Match ~team members seems, in time, probable. The memâ€" bers of the Sheridan club, after competing against women in local, state, and national matches, conâ€" cluded that their value as "rifieâ€" men" could no longer be overlooked in this community. Ts The presence of women, on the firing line, does not seem as strange as might be expected. The average rifteman, aware of the history and tradition of fine marksmanship in this country, recalls only too well that earlier in American history, women in emergencies aided in the preparation of ammunition, in loadâ€" ing, and on many occasions, took their places mt the firing line alongâ€" side the men to repel the marauder or invader, _ 1 4 The riffleman of today, with a sly admiring smile and no little pride, recognizes their presence, once again, on the firing line. _ Alcyon Presents Technicolor Film For Three Days Tonight and Friday"the Alcyon theatre .is presenting that simply gorgeous new star Hedy Lamarr in "Algiers."

And from all advance reports it would seem that "Safety in Numbers," their latest picture, will more than do its share in living up to the industry‘s curâ€" rent slogan, "Motion Pictures Are Your Best Entertainment," for it is indeed a merry, everâ€"soâ€"laughable hit. This being. a Double Feature night "The Renegade Ranger" offers an abundance of riding, action, and romance to Alcyon patrons. George O‘Brien, is at his best in this fastâ€" moving and suspenseful story. Rita Hayworth is a delightful and conâ€" vincing heroine. At the Alcyon on Saturday of this week. On Sunday, Monday and Tuesday the Alcyon is presenting "Valley of the Giants" with Wayne Morris, Claire Trevor and Charles Bickford heading an impressive cast, The film is the type of entertainment that has appeal for everyone.

General campaign chairman, R. R. Wible announced that a total of $45,405.50 in subs¢riptions had been received from 2,291 ) Highland Park gitizens up to noon Wednesday. : : . "It is gratifying to be able to anâ€" nounce to the Community today," Mr. Wible said, "that through the eooperation and splendid genau-o:i‘tly of nearly 2,300 different individuals and firms, i,hland;Park has again shown its re and ability to take care of the carefully budgeted needs of the twelve ‘welfare agencies supâ€" ported by the Highland Park Comâ€" munity Chest. | "Through the loyalty and devotion. displayed to the cause by the 800! volunteer workers on the Gengral Campaign | committee and on "the Special Gifts» committee, we ve reached our goal with a safe margin to spare. However, in the next few days we ekpect to see that margin grow even larger. as there are fti}l outstanding more than a gcore of subscriptions verbally pledged to the workers which, due to the aubsérib- er‘s absence from the city, illness, or other valid reasons, have been deâ€" layed in reaching Chest headq ers. ‘These citizens are u: to send in their subscriptions promptly in order that we may close our fltm- paign books. . ae" "This year‘s campaign has proâ€" ven, especially gratifying in a numâ€" ber of respects," said President Herâ€" man A.

These facts indicate that public 2%" ceptance . of the Chest plan of bfl;piu- ing our local welfare needs ‘beâ€" come firmly| established and that Highland <Park wcitizens generally take pride in helping to make each campaign succeed." AL NEWSPAPER OF THE CITY OF HIGHLAND PARK President Zischke was high in his praise of the splendid work atcomâ€" plished in the campaign by both the Special Gifts and General Campaign committees. "Great credit is due to Mr. Wible who served as General Campaign chairman and Jerome P. Bowes, Jr., who served as chairman of the Special Gifts committee," he said, "The splendid volunteer comâ€" mittees which were organized; and directed by them share in‘ the fine success achieved. | "Credit is also due to the officers and directors of the Chest who gave so willingly of their time during the campaign and to the able corps of auditors organized under the direcâ€" tion of Chest Treasurer L. B, Sinâ€" clair, who volunteered their| able services for many hours to iliâ€" tate the receipt of subscriptions at Chest headquarters." c It was announced today that Camâ€" paign headquarters of the Chest at No. 4 N.

The further fact that this road is dangerous in wet or slippery weather increases the hazzard, _ Many ‘individual and civic groups in Highland Park have come to members of the Highland Park Citiâ€" zen‘s Safety committee with the thought of discussing the proposed rerouting of Highway No, 42. It has been proposed to change the present Highway No. 42 from Sherâ€" idan road and send the traffic up Greenbay road to Lincolin and from there direct it through town by way of Oakwood avenue. / ho ctaa s is Unfortunately Greenbay road narâ€" rows just north of the Northmoor County club and it would be difficult : | to handle additional traffi¢ on this â€" road without an increase in aeciâ€"â€" . dents. . An examination of kpot © E map of the Highland Park Ci f Safety committee shows that this , | narrow road has already had a pumâ€" > | ber of accidents with existing trafâ€" | By the same reasoning Oakwood avenue is also unfit for additional traffic because of its narrowness, Therefore from an engineering point of view the. construction of both Greenbay and Oakwood avenue does not make it feasible to reâ€"route the traffic from the present Highway No. 42. . ' â€" With all this in mind the City Council of Highland Park voted against this change two weeks ago and the Highland Park Citizens Safety commission concurs in ‘‘this action believing that it would be unâ€" wise to make any change. Pss . Edwin Gilroy, chairman of the Safety commission has been inâ€" formed by the Hon. Wm. M.
