Damage to the Electroliner of the Chicago, North Shore and Milwauâ€" kee, sustained a week ago Monday in an autoâ€"train crash at County Line road is such that the crack train will be out of service for a minimum of ten days, according to S$. A. Morrison, general manager. Schedules are being maintained as usual through the use of modernâ€" ized equipment, including lounge and bar. entirely taken down and examined before being restored to service. It is as yet impossible to estimate the amount of damage done. The high rate of speed maintained by the Electroliner renders perfect condiâ€" tion imperative to safety.; for which the road has an excellent record. Local boards will enroll the young men at the offices of the boards. In the event that local board headquarâ€" ters are situated so that it would be difficult for men required to regâ€" ister to appear, local board chairâ€" men may, with the consent of the state director, select additional places of registration . The regisâ€" tration will be conducted between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. The damaged train is on jacks in the Highwood yard, and is being Morrison of North Shore the local boards will be able to conâ€" duct the second registration on July 1, as ordered by the president." "When the first registration was conducted last October we were givâ€" en the wholeâ€"hearted assistance of various persons and agencies, pubâ€" lic and private, outside the Selective Service system," he continued. ‘‘Without their assistance we could not have conducted the registration with the minimum of difficulty enâ€" countered. Local boards which were in a state of organization on October 16 are now functioning in ‘a routine manner and should be able to regisâ€" ter the estimated 60,000 young men in Illinois who have become 21 years old since October 16, and are otherwise eligible for registration, Mr. Armstrong said. "We are everlastingly grateful for their help but are certain that Although on October 16, 1940, the first registration day, many persons and organizations outside the Seâ€" lective Service system assisted in the task of enrolling more than 1,â€" 016,000 potential trainees in Illinois, it is believed that the new registraâ€" tion will not require outside help. nated by them, Paul G. Armstrong, state director, has announced. Aid of agencies outside the Selective Service organization is not expected to be required, he said. Registration on July 1 of young men eligible for military training, but not heretofore registered will be conducted solely by Selective Service local boards in their headâ€" quarters or in public places desigâ€" Registration Date Set _ For Tuesday, July 1 All Men Who Have Attained * zmmwn' Oct. 16, Must Sign Up | In Delivery Business Russell Smith, 14, of 1631 South Green Bay road, has started up in business "for himself."

Hardacre will result in a personal loss to the memâ€" bers and a loss to the Park District in losing the services of a valued and experienced public servant; Be it further resolved that this resolution be spread upon the recâ€" ords of the Park District, and a cerâ€" tifled copy thereof be furnished to Mr. Hardacre, and that a copy thereof be sent to the newspapers having circulation in the Park Disâ€" trict of Highland Park. And Whereas Milton J.

Be is Resolved by the Commisâ€" sioners of the Park District of Highâ€" land Park, that: OF LIONS CLUB Mr. Spears further stated that it was the job of the high school to diligently help preserve the way of life that we and ours are accustomâ€" ed to living. Also, said Mr. Spears, the high school should not only imâ€" prove the mind of the student but, more important than that, the high school should strive to make its graduates good citizens, citizens +who will fit into society and become superior neighbors. Then, too, Mr. Spears spoke of the importance of careful, intensive instruction for each student. He states this personal form of educaâ€" tion is invaluable for a strong and friendly studentâ€"teacher bond which, in turn, is absolutely necessary for complete and valuable education. Mr. Spears feels that Highland Park High School is accomplishing its purpose. There were other outstanding perâ€" formances: The music was worthy of praise. The class marshals, Mary Jones and Tom Brown, did a fine job. Stan Turner received the coveted medal of honor. Alice Dorâ€" ick and Bill Mecham, salutatorian and valedictorian respectively, were the honor students having maintainâ€" ed a brilliant scholastic average for four years! In commending the graduation, one must not forget Mr. A. E. (‘"Deac") . ‘Wolters. His skillful handling of things in general doubtâ€" lessly played an important part in the precision of the exercises. â€". All in all, it was a memorable graduationâ€"‘"one of the finest in the history of our famed high school" 3 Breaks Wrist i Mrs. Meredith Taussig Beals slipped and broke her wrist last week as she was getting into a taxi. It was a rainy night and the board was slippery, causing her to fall. Mr. Spears, who left immediately after the exercises to return to his teaching position at Penn State, talked about education in general and the aims of the high school. He said that the educational facilities on the North Shore are excellent, and should be maintained. Just as one gets what he pays for when buying a suit of clothes, likewise do the people in Highland Park get what they pay for in the way of education for their children. ‘"Highland Park High School had one of the finest graduations in its history. The entire program ran smoothly, the speakers were sincere and their messages timely and genâ€" uine. Mr. Spears, the new princiâ€" pal, said more in twenty minutes than other excellent speakers have said in an hour!"â€"thus went the opinion of many ‘Highland Parkers who congregated in the familar enâ€" tryâ€"way of the auditorium after the graduation ceremonies. / Unfortunately the address of Mr. Spears was not available for quotaâ€" tion purposes. However, Mr. Spears said several things that will remain in the minds of his attentive listenâ€" New Principal Gives Interestâ€" ing Talk At Closing Exâ€" gh School Aims â€"Whitt N. Schultz.
