He stated that the outlet 1st street north to Vine avenue was too small to render proper draining facilities under weather conditions during the past fortnight. Commissioner Swanson also stated that dirt and gravel piled up durâ€" ing the winter to make skating ponds in the Ravinia and Braeside school districts had drained into the sewers causing a stoppage of the natural flow of water. He also done about the storm sewer on Raâ€" vine drive if that thoroughfare was to be prevented from being comâ€" pletely washed away. s council‘s attention to the availability to the city of employees hirfi”b.y the government under the N2 l Youth Organization act. He stated that his department could use sevâ€" eral of these boys on work calling for unskilled labor.‘ City employee work versus priâ€" vate contract on the Green Bay road project came in for its share of comment. Private contractors in the community have complained that it is not fair for the city to do this work dtself. The council, backed up by the city engineering departâ€" ment, stated that due to the peculâ€" iarities of the job the city could save money by doing the work itself rather than letting it out to a priâ€" vate contractor. City engineer Cole stated that Evanston, Winnetka and many other communities had been doing this type of work themselves for years and always did it cheaper than a private contractor, The council amended the ordinâ€" ance on signs and canopies to allow the Public Service company to proâ€" ceed with its building plans for its new office structure. These changes had already been recommended and approved by the City Planning comâ€" mission. The council also repealed its old taxicab stand ordinance and passed a new one calling for the parking of cabs on north St. Johns avenue.

The life insurance is underâ€" written by the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, and the hosâ€" pitalization insurance is sponsored by the Chicago Plan for Hospital These plans were made available to employees of the retail stores in Chicago, Lake Forest, Oak Park and Evanston, and of the Merchandise Mart and Annex Office Building. Similar programs were already in effect last year in the company‘s corporate offices, manufacturing diâ€" vision, and the Frederick & Nelson store in Seattle. The introduction of these plans followed many months of study of the adaptability of these types of insurance benefits to the compugl retail and real estate divisions. â€" rollment was entirely voluntary, and a very large percentage of emâ€" ployees sharing the cost, Mr. Corley stated that this repreâ€" sents another step in the developâ€" ment of the company‘s longâ€"range program for its employees. _ In the event of death, employees‘ beneficiaries will be paid from $500 to $3,000 under the insurance proâ€" gram.

Equally as many persons want inâ€" formation, cither via telephone or at the library, rather than checking out books, Miss Egan explained. . Novels and biographies are what the majority of Highland Parkers read. Periodicals, newspapers and books are read by residents of all ages and creed. According to last year‘s figures, there were approximately 130,034 books borrowed from the library. Supplementing these books, there were almost a thousand pieces of music issued to local persons. With the natural increase in popuâ€" lation and other contributing facâ€" tors, the library reports an increase of 798 borrowers for 1939. In the period of a year, nearly all of the 34,971 books on the shelves, have been used once or more by the 6,934 registered borrowers. "The present generation reads more for recreation than for inforâ€" mation," Miss Egan stated. "This is evidenced by the frequent askance for information instead of finding it in books," she continued. The public is a minority in deâ€" ciding whether a recent publication js to be a success. High pressure advertising by the publishers conâ€" tributes the most to phenomenal liâ€" terary successes. M 3 "The younger generation reads just as much as the older generaâ€" tion," Miss Egan welated. This is due in part to the stimulation deâ€" rived from local school requireâ€" ments. Once the child has obtained his reference book for school, he usually skims through other books, and invariably draws out another publication. Concerning the current problem of propaganda, Miss Egan said that no book which is obviously subverâ€" sive in content is accepted by the library. â€" â€" "It has always been the policy of the library to show both sides of the question, and we try to select books illustrating the same idea," she explained, D .

Harold Lavine and James Wechâ€" slet‘s War Propaganda and the The Strategy of Terror, another "war edition" of repute, by the Chicago Tribune‘s European correâ€" spondent, Edmond Taylor, describes the civilian war and shows how Europe was paralyzed during the Munich period. _ _ United States, is a timely publicaâ€" tion.
