Labor Day marked the end of a highly successful season at the Centralâ€" Avenue and Ravinia beaches. According to reports of life guards, there were no drowning deaths at either beach ; in fact, there were not even any accidents that called the lifeguards to a rescue. Significantly the seven deaths from drowning that occured in Highâ€" land Park this summer all occured at beaches where there were no lifeguards on duty. Let‘s concede the "long arm of coincidence" . . . but it isn‘t that long. Its a little early to remind ourselves to swim safely next year, but let‘s just write into our memories that SEVEN PEOPLE died this summer because they didn‘t heed the safety warning to swim only at guarded beaches. This seems a good time to congratulate the Park Board and the lifeguards on a summer free of swimming deaths. We believe the Park Board did an excellent job of choosing the beach guards ; also, it is evident that these young men were vigilent in the discharge of their duties, And if the children have occasionally complained about the tooâ€"frequent call of the guards‘ whistlesâ€"well, there were no deaths. Good work, you lifeguards ! On Page 6 of this issue is Chief Andrews‘ report on Police Department affairs. Despite the fact that our department is small, undermanned and underâ€"financed, we think the police deserve a hearâ€" ty patâ€"onâ€"theâ€"back for a difficult daily task well and conscientiously done. Chief Andrews and his men have given and are giving Highâ€" land Park modern and upâ€"toâ€"date police protection, and this commuâ€" nity should know and appreciate ttheir service. New faces, new boofiq\,new clothing, new subjects, new teachere, sometimes even a new school . . . . no wonder this is a week of exâ€" citement for school children, and need we add, for pa and ma! The book stores are humming with intent buyers of sthool books, the clothing stores are filled with thriftyâ€"minded mothers outfitting Junâ€" ior for the fall season. The beauty shops buzz with girls <getting prettied up for opening classes. The shoe stores overflow with buyers. School opening is indeed important, not only to the children, but to most of the rest of Highland Park. © OUR "BOBBIES" ARE OK! _ We know lots of men in Highland Park who get all excited over the Big Ten schedule, yet pay no attention to the football games at the Highland Park schools. This department respectfully offers the suggestion that for real honestâ€"toâ€"goodness excitement and wild enâ€" thusiasm, the local school games leave nothing to be desired. The lads are "all out" to win, and play with all the vigor of more mature teams. It helps the fighting spirit of the boys to have some dads in the cheering section. Let‘s see more fathersâ€"yes, and mothers and sisâ€" ters and brothers and aunts and uncles and cousins out for the school games this Fall. Child flower enthusiasts who have been invited y the Mens Garden Club to exhibit at the Garden Club Flower Show at the Moraine September 13 and 14, are, we understand, working like beavers to perfect their work in time for showing. We like a kid who likes to dig in the dirt and get back to nature. Seldom does a boy or girl who loves flowers and other growing things have time to get into devilment. These youngsters should have more than just a few ribâ€" bon trophiesâ€"they are deserving of our keen interest, at the flower show and at home. The Community Center, under the able direction of Mr. "X" (George Scheuchenpflug) is gettingâ€"under way again for a busy season. The Center, which is truly a center for civic affairs as well as juvenile activities, means a lot to Highland Park, because it furâ€" nishes a focal point for the entire community. Mr. X, with his paâ€" tient interest in the important affairs of his child charges, does a good job. He needs adult interest and sometimes some actual, personal assistance. If you have some spare time once in awhile, and like kids, Mr. X can use vou. 4 This is an invitation to some of the good oldâ€"fashioned cooks here in Highland Park to make some cakes, cookies, sandwiches or other delicacies for use in the place where every crumb will be apâ€" prtcincd...wcmnattheScrviceMemCh..Alfldthfl are away on maneuvers, but there are still a good many hundreds of men left at the Fort.

Schultz, reâ€" port a perfect season, with no casuâ€" alties at either the Highland Park or the Ravinia beaches. Record crowds swarmed the beaches on hot days and with the exception of a few days when the beaches were closed by the health department, or stormy days, this season was one of the busiest our lake front has seen. Seven persons lost their lives drowning at Highland Park beaches this season ALL IN UNGUARDED PLACES! Police Department Solves Burglary The scenes at the unguarded beaches were sad ones.. First to lose life in Lake Michigan, were three Fort Sheridan children, Paâ€" tricia Mowakowski, 8, and Elreda and Hedwig Zielewieski, who were drowned when their boat capsized at Fort Sheridan beach; Railph Walker, a little Chicago choir boy, drowned at the Highwood beach, while on a church outing; Francis Finley, 13, lost his life at the Prosâ€" pect avenue beach; Private Opal Cornn, 21, died at the Moraine beach sand just last week Pasquini Borelli, 42, committed suicide by drowning just north of the Moraine beach.

Chairman J. David Dickenson and his committee are busy receiving entries for the show. Final Arrangements Progress For Men‘s Garden Club Show Perhaps the exhibit, "unique . or humorous arrai tsâ€"no restric« tions," will be ze cause of most comment, and work for the men. The women are waiting with interâ€" est, some of the "unique and humâ€" orous" displays, expecting to bear the brunt of their humor, such as in millinery arrangements, etc. _ When the Men‘s Garden Club of Highland Park was organized ir May 1939, its two major objectives were community beautification ard the development of garden enthusiâ€" asm among ehildren. The more cynical oldsters scoffed at,the idea that Young America could be inâ€" terested in anything more than the "funnies," movies and convertable roadsters. The Second Annual Garden Show under the auspices of the club, to be held at the Moraineâ€"Onâ€"Theâ€"Lake Hotel, Saturday: and Sunday Sepâ€" tember 13 and 14 will show how wrong the sceptics were. One of the principal features of the event, which promisesâ€"to be one of the most important horticultural expositions of the local season, will be a comprehensive exhibit of flowers, vegetables, garden decoraâ€" tions, bird houses and figures carved from vegetables, all exhibited by boys and girls ranging from 8 to 13 years. ; At the conclusion of last year‘s Men‘s Garden Show, which was an unqualified succéss, it was decided by the board of directors to sponâ€" sor a junior garden activity. Anâ€" nouncement of this enterprise brought 168 enrollments, all of whom were supplied with generous packets of flower and vegetable seeds and instructions on how to plant a garden plot 6 x 12 feet. One hundred and eight, 49 girls and 59 boys, carried the program through, under the direction of 16 club inspectors. Out of this number several score have pledged themâ€" selves to exhibit at the show and their entries from the standpoint of size, quality and variety are exâ€" pected to challenge the best efforts of the experts. Humorous Displays Promised Included in the classes for memâ€" ber exhibitors are annuals, perenâ€" nials, gladioli, roses, dahlias, vegeâ€" tables and fruits and novelty exâ€" hibits, including arrangements of weeds and humorous table arrangeâ€" ments.
