-fiummm of the of a querum the conducâ€" tor of this column finds himself free to devote a little time and space to something other than strictly city administration affairs. At this time your reporter can think of no subâ€" ject more appropriate than the comâ€" ing April primaries. Election time this year is of greater significance to citizens of Highland Park beâ€" cause for the first time in many a year a member of the community is seeking a seat in the State Legisâ€" lature. As announced in THs Hickâ€" LAND PARK PRESS several weeks ago Richard B. Martin is a Republican candidate for slaie senator from Distriet Eight, ~Comprising ~Lake, Boone and McHenry counties, Last week the Highland Park Nonâ€"Parâ€" tisan Citizens committee was formed to aid Mr. Martin in his fight for the nomination, which in this disâ€" trict is tantamount to election. This committee with Eugene Pfister as chairman and including Edmund Eitel, Robert G. Anspach, Edwin L. Gilroy, R. R. Wible, and the Hon. William M. Dooley, former mayor of Highland Park are moving heaven and earth to stir up enough civic pride and consciousness in the comâ€" munity to insure candidate Martin a respectable vote from this area on primary election day, April 9. Regardless of the facts of the case it always seems to be part of the political game to predict a "sweepâ€" ing victory" for your candidate at the polls. This "we can‘t lose" philosophy appears to be necessary to keep the workers pepped up and is evidently based on the theory that no one wants to support a Joser. This credo is all right as far as it goes but like anything else it ean be overdone. If the campaign managers are too optimistic about the outcome, it is only natural for the boys further down the line to relax a bit on the theory that the election is in the bag anyway, so why make such a fuss about it. Anyone familiar with the political situation in District Right knows that candidate Martin has a real job on his hands if he wants to win this election and he is going to need every bit of support he can possibly corral between now and April 9. It therefore behooves the citizens of Highland Park to get behind Mr. Martin‘s candidacy and pile up enough votes in this area so that he will have a little cushion to fall back on when he gets into unfamâ€" iliar territory. The average voter too often fails to realize what a tremendous task it is for a candiâ€" date of average means and acquainâ€" tance to make a respectable showing in anything larger than merely a local election. An individual who is not an outâ€" standing public figure is faced with overcoming an unbelievably large amount of public indifference, or civic inertia, if you will, in such a contest that confronts candidate Martin in the April primaries. The compensation for the position of state senator is something like $2,â€" 500 a year which naturally does not allow much leaway for campaign expenditures. Everybody with the interest of the community at heart will do all in his and her power to help the committee supposting Mr. Martin do & real job for him. Neither he nor the committee can get results alone. It is going to take a real effort on the part of the Highland Park electorate to bring out the vote for Dick in a big way. Aside from the recognized qualiâ€" fications of Dick Martin for the ofâ€" fice of state senator, it is high time this community sends a representaâ€" tive down to Springfield to see what is being done with the local taxpayâ€" er‘s money. With all due respect to Mr. Ray Paddock of Round Lake, the present incumbent, there is litâ€" tle in the record that indicates this part of the district has carried much weight when matters of state were Candidate Martin has been busy these last few weeks touring the highways and byâ€"ways of the disâ€" trict attempting to pick up votes in areas where he is not so well known. His opponent, Mr. Paddock is parâ€" ticularly strong in the farm and other outlying districts and will unâ€" up for doubtediy pull a fairly strong vote in these areas. Again, ordinarily the incumbent has a distinct advanâ€" tage over a new candidate trying to break into the charmed circle and Dick Martin who is making his first try at this office will have this hanâ€" dicap to overcome. The task facing the committee seeking candidate Martin‘s election is a difficult one but not necessarily a hopeless one.

Local Groups Voice Enthusiasm in Community Council "The idea of a cencral clearing house organization meeting, but deserves great merit and much sucâ€" cess can result from such a group." "I would like to see this meeting result in a simplification of activâ€" ities and the doing away of any duâ€" plication of effort. should that now exist." "Members \of our board are inâ€" terested in the undertaking outlined in your letter and feel that a great deal of good can come from having such a clearing house." Nine game series, 256 average, including two 300 scores, Feb. 7, 1984, Hale Bowling Academy, Brooklyn, New York. The idea of a community council for Highland Park is meeting with enthusiasm from the nearly seventy local organizations who have been invited to send representatives to the meeting at 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 2, at the new Community Cenâ€" ter, 539 Central avenue. The League of Women Voters is calling the orâ€" ganization meeting, but the proâ€" posed community council would beâ€" long to Highland Park as a whole. Such comments are typical of those contained in the replies from the organizations invited to the first meeting . . . and they are encourâ€" aging to citizens who feel that through coâ€"operative endeavor Highâ€" land Park can be made a still betâ€" ter place in which to live. The counâ€" cil would be strietly nonâ€"political and there would be no financial obliâ€" gations. "The idea of a central clearing house for the various community organizations in Highland Park is a brilliant one and deserving of strong support." _Interested individuals are urged to attend, as well as the authorized representatives of organizations. If any organization which would like to participate has been unintentionâ€" ally overlooked in the issuing of inâ€" vitations it is urged to write to the president of the local League of Women Voters, Mrs, J. Sigurd Johnâ€" son, 699 Yale lane.
