After considerable debate Acting Mayor Sharp called upon Superinâ€" tendent Prindle to report on his reâ€" cent inspection trip to Fort Sheriâ€" dan. Mr. Prindle stated that there was absolutely no truth to the ruâ€" mor that raw sewage was being @umped promiscously into the lake. He informed the council that while m.mufi::-,cuw-nfium equipment, tmtl:}nt sewage ‘was not up what ‘one might consider normal, it was now receiving more chlorine than at any time in the Post‘s history and that Mm,wflmthwmplmd in October it can be considered letter perfect for all practical purposes. | ‘This did not mean however, Mr. Prindle pointed out, that anyone may guarantee an individual from infection as a result of bathing in the lake. Because of contact with fellow bathers or from even selfâ€" infection it is easily possible to beâ€" come ill in perfectly sterile water. In a word, Mr. Prindle stated that the bather who goes into the lake today is taking no greater chance than he did at any time since the current swimming season started. totally unable to separate fact from fiction. The letter also added that several attempts had been made to ‘obtain definite information on the ‘subject from local government offiâ€" pi.kwifimtmuhmu. .. A representative of the League }vhovuhmuthamm- ing stated that the criticism of the League did not pertain to any action or lack of action on the matter by the council itself but rather was calling the council‘s attention to the #fact that apparently there was no minwthofltywvhomtbelm- age citizen could go for conclusive ormation on the subject. The %:“.’l representative . pointed mfiuwhlbnmmmm“d there was no danger in swimming in the lake, nevertheless the Park Board considered the matter serious enough to have, at least for a short time, posted its beaches against Commissioner Swanson stated that cleanâ€"up operations at the City Garâ€" age were progressing nicely. He also had City Engineer Cole explain the delay in the Greemn Bay Road improvement project. Mr. Cole statâ€" ed that specifications for the proâ€" ject were about ready to be subâ€" mitted to the state authorities but that even under the best of cireumâ€" stances the work could not be comâ€" pleted before Spring. In addition to the 60 or 90 days necessary to get the State‘s mlvnl the public utilities using thoroughfare still msv-l-ddv-tnb the major part of the proâ€" joct is even started. The atilities also state that the national defense m“hfl&- on their part of the work. It was his opinion that the present scare was due more to hysteria than to any actual danger. ‘ B Acting Mayor Sharp reported that the Department of Agriculture was in hot pursuit of the dreaded Japâ€" anese Bectle in Highland Park and had finally located the local source of infection. The Department, he stated requested that the City of Highland Park donate some 5,000 gallons of water daily to be used in treating the soil with arsenic of lead to destroy thi:“rnt. Commisâ€" gioner Gourley sta that the doâ€" nation of the water was a small matter but that he was fearful of damage to the hydrant valves if an untrained individual was in charge of this operation. Commissioner Bowes came to the reseue by stating that he would see to it that some one from the Fire Department was on hand to do this part of the job. Commissioner Bowes also anâ€" nounced the appointment of Ray Anderson to the post of Assistant Building Inspector to help out the currently very much overâ€"worked Building Inspector, Sydney Morris. Action on the installation of street lights in the Clavey subdivision was mmd pending the return of Ronan. It appears that Mr. Clavey and the Council have not w come to a meeting of minds on question and it was thought best to defer any action until a later council session as he missed one of the most interesting and important that have graced the council in many a day. The subject that received the lion‘s share of discussion was brought about by a letter from the League of Women Voters under the signaâ€" ture of Acting President, Frances W. Baker calling the countil‘s atâ€" tention to the contradicting rumors and statements from various local mnmntdflehl-mnh.b safety of bathing in Lake Michigan.

MURPHY week‘s Buf BRITISH INVASION PLANS First British plan for an invasion of the continent (since the start of the Russianâ€"Nazi conflict) was » landing in Holland. This, it was figâ€" ured, would get sympathetic support from the Dutch; would create a secâ€" ond front requiring Hitler to divert part of his troops and airplanes from the Russian front. The original British idea was to have the United States coâ€"operate in a landing force. This, â€" however, scarcely got beyond the informal suggestion stage. It was immediâ€" ately and emphatically vetoed, first, for political reasons; second, beâ€" cause Roosevelt did not have the power to send troops abroad; third, because of the scarcity of shipping to transport and supply an Amerâ€" ican army overseas. Since then, none of the proposals for creating a second European front has contemplated any Amerâ€" ican participation. Reason for Japan‘s interest in this small country was not nationalism, but the fact that a slender finger of land, about as wide as the Isthâ€" mus of Panama, called the Isthmus of Kra, is controlled by Thailand. A canal through this isthmus, connectâ€" ing the Indian ocean and the Guif of Siam, would give a new short route from the Pacific to India, renâ€" der Singapore impotent, and cut three days from the trip between Indoâ€"China and Burma. Such a canal would leave Singaâ€" pore‘s giant guns and expensive naval bases guarding an outâ€"ofâ€"date sea highway, almost as unimporâ€" tant as the Straits of Magellan after the Panama canal was built. That is one reason the British are ready to fight to keep the Japanese out of Thailand. The second idea discussed was a British attempt through Spain and Portugal. This also scarcely got beyond the discussion stage, because it was figured, first, that the Gerâ€" man army probably could take over Spain by the time British troops beâ€" gan to land; second, that even if a foothold could be obtained, a march across the Pyrenees to France would be too difficult The only part which the United States might have played in such a plan was to send food ships with which to help win over the Spanish population. Norway Heavily Fortified. Since then another plan for posâ€" sible British invasion of Norway has been discussed. However, this also is difficult. The Nazis now have 10 divisions in Norway; more imporâ€" tant, they have been workihg feverâ€" ishly with characteristic German thoroughness to fortify Norwegian ports and possible invasion points. For perspective on the presen South Pacific tugâ€"ofâ€"war betweer Japan and Britain, it is well to re member that for years Thailand then known as Siam, was a paw! in the power game of the bigge: nations of the Pacific. But half a dozen years ago the Japanese began preaching the docâ€" trine of Asia for the yellow man. and Siam. for the Siamese. That was how the name came to be changed to Thailand, a nationalistic token of home rule. In this game the United States had & hand. For years, American financial advisers have been at tached to the Thailand throne, one of them having been Francis Sayre, sonâ€"inâ€"law of Woodrow Wilson, now high commissioner of the Philipâ€" He wooed Thailand on many 0¢â€" easions, including the ornate recepâ€" tion given the former king of Siam, who as ‘"Supreme Arbiter of the Ebb and Flow of the Tide, Brother of the Moon, Half Brother of the Sun and Keeper of the Twentyâ€"four Golden Umbrellas," came to Washâ€" ington in the days of Herbert Hoover and was regally entertained. The British were even more inâ€" terested in the Siamese. British advisers for a time ran the kingâ€" dom‘s . government, . trained â€" its army, supplied the one or two ships for its navy. ports and possible invasion points The chief factor holding back t British, however, has been the lack of armored equipment. A though the British army is abo 2,000,000 stromg, only about 750,0 men are fully armed with moder equipment. And the most serio defect in their equipment is the lac of tanks. Also, despite the strength of Nazi army on the Russian fror total of 47 wellâ€"equipped Ger divisions are stationed in wes Vast numbers of tanks were lo by the British at Dunquerque, a lo which has not yet been replenishe And no invasion of the contine could be successful without a por erful tamk force.
