At the Chamber of Commerce monthly meeting Tuesday evenâ€" ing, President Neiter brought up the fact that the Chambers proposes to try to have Highland Park declared a Defense Area, so that its merchants and business people will be in position to obtain the materials and supplies necessary to take care of the vared needs of the Fort and the thousands of men there. On the street, almost any hour of the day. one finds army officers, just back from maneuvers, frantically searching for some sort of house or apartment in which to live. The facts are that the type of living quarters sought by the officers are simply not to be had. We have few apartments and no "fAats" in which these men can shelter their families. If this is logiâ€" cally a Déefense Area, we should amend our local ordinances to perâ€" mit the erection of whatever structures are necessary to house overâ€" flow Army and Navy personnel. © SELEâ€"STARTING "CHESTERS" % is ~yo‘n «4 uesday"eveninig M&rcanmm: workers will + â€" meet tosplan their drive to raise the funds necessary to take care of _ _our sil:x and needy for twelve months to come.

Light your windows, and see how night traffic of window shoppers builds day traffic of buyers. ®© _ WE DON‘T SELL ELECTRICITY! @ SERVICE CLUB SERVICE The November 5th Town Meeting already arranged by the Highland Park League of Women voters promises to beâ€"a live gathering of live citizens. Discussion of our city and school district business should be most informative to interested taxpayers. The commuriity would profit in every way if the Town Meeting is held monthly. The trend of affairs in Highlandâ€" Park may be less serene than appears on the surface. If there are skeletons on our community clqset, they should be uncovered and vigorously jangled about once a month. Harking back to the apartment Kouse idea: it is easy to understand why many of the wealthy men who maintain their houses in our midst would like to keep this a quiet, almost a rural comâ€" munity, where nothing would ever occur to disturb the calm. But let‘s think of the thousands of taxpayers who in the aggregate mean so much to the town. A growing population, made possible by more plentiful housing facilities would help to lower our per capita cost of maintaining the city. Our vacant property would have a bigger value. Our merchants would have more customers. Our schools would serve more children. Few cities remain fixed in size or charâ€" acter. Highland Park is no exception, and must either grow or stagnate. Let‘s discuss some of these problems every month, to the end that our public servants will have the benefit of public guidance in handling city affairs. 8 © WHERE DO ARMY OFFICERS LIVE?
