In an interâ€" view following Monday evening‘s meeting, Mayor Ronan stated that he had in his hands a report on the city‘s general health made by an unâ€" biased observer. This report is based on a complete survey made at the request of the mayor by Dr. J. F. Shronts, formerly District Health (Continued on Page 8) The effect of the midâ€"summer heat wave that was still going strong on Menday evening took its toll on both council and audience alike. What few members of the community attended the session spent most of the time squirming around in their seats in a vain effort to attain at least some degree of comfort in the sweltering heat. The council, too, deeming it advisable to keep its dignity on its accustomed high level by wearing coats, seemed most unhappy, â€" While the dog days are upon us and activity among the City Fathers along with the rest of us is at low ebb, there are several things in the offing of vital interest to the comâ€" munity. Annual Flower Show At Northmoor Club Tuesday, Aug. 6th With this explanation as an offiâ€" cial part of the record, Commisâ€" sioner Bowes moved the request be denied and the petitioner informed of the teasons for the council‘s acâ€" tion. Because of the heat, the council can be forgiven for practically goâ€" ing through the motions and nothing else at Monday‘s meeting. Even your reporter who has chided the council on oceasion in the past for making its sessions too cut and dried silently said "Amen" to the mayot‘s motion for a speedy adâ€" journment. It was simply too hot to think and by unanimous consent discussion of the community‘s more weighty problems was tabled until the weather man was in a more genâ€" erous mood. Action at Monday evening‘s sesâ€" sion was limited strictly to routine affairs. Following the reading of the minutes of the preceeding meetâ€" ing by City Clerk Musser, the memâ€" bers of the council were called upon for their reports which were renâ€" dered in as few words as possible. The city clerk informed the counâ€" cil that he had a request for liâ€" censes for curb gasoline pumps on St. Johns Ave. This request was for a renewal of permits on pumps already in existance, but due to the city‘s policy of cancelling licenses on such installations whenever possible, it was refused. Before the vote was formally made by the council Mayor Ronan took a few minutes to explain the city‘s viewpoint on the subject. Increased traffic in this area, he said, brought about not only by the taxicabs but also by other vehicles, necessitated the removal of any obâ€" stacles that would augment already undesirable conditions. group The Hinhlanm Park Press the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co. of Newntk, New Jersey in their third fiscal year of operation, which ended July 19th, Mr. Parsons anâ€" nounsed today. fim-:m-b mw* better than M”‘um also gained it a 16 per cent inâ€" crease in the number of lives covâ€" evred.

It is the spectacâ€" ular, warmly human adventure of a man who searched the world over for a girl and a royal white stalâ€" lion that had been swept from his side. Robert Young plays the hero with romantic dash and has many fine dramatic moments, and Helen Gilbert, new acting discovery, plays her part with dignity and charm. A most remarkable member in the cast is "Florian," Imperial stallion that is almost human in his intelligence. On the doubleâ€"feature attraction for Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. All the romance and color of the South Seas are combined with the loveliness of Dorothy Laâ€" mour as a sunâ€"tanned island beauty to brighten the Technicolor advenâ€" tureâ€"romance "Typhoon."

On the same program are the five Dead End Kids sharing honors with Nan Grey and Henry Armetta in "You‘re Not So Tough." They are seen in the film as magrant workers followâ€" ing California‘s crops, but preferâ€" ring to live by their wits rather than by the sweat of their brows. As ranchers they are riots and they bring fun to the farm and fear to the racketâ€"rings.

Mr. Kingery will explain the work that is now being done south of County Line road and answer questions. It is hoped that he will be able to offer a practical suggestion as to how this project can be extended through Highland Park. "While the Men‘s Garden Club of Highland Park is taking the initiaâ€" tive in a plan to bring a highly deâ€" sireable improvement to Lake counâ€" ty," Mr. Pfister said, "it is hoped that it will be quickly taken over and backed by every civic organizaâ€" tion of this section of the county. "It is needless to point out the benefits which every citizen would enjoy if our beautiful Skokie counâ€" try could be developed as a park to be handed down to our children.
