_â€"__It will be necessary for us to cut our sugar consumption, the Secretary of Agriculture informs us. This same economy was in force during the last war, and little harm was done. As a matter of fact, most of us indulge ourselves too much in the matter of sweets. A conâ€" siderable restriction in sugar diet can be imposed with much benefit to the health of most people. We belive children should continue to getthehmgar,asaquicksourceofmergytotephoethatdestmyed by childish activity. The rest of us can cinch up the belt a bit. h © YOUR RED CROSS OBLIGATION The Highland Park Red Cross quota has not yet been raised, altho considerable progress is reported by Chairman H. F. Kelley. Of our $20,000 quota, we have $11,750 still to raise. Women colâ€" lectors have done a good job. The merchants too have been liberal. The total to date is favorableâ€"BUT THE JOB IS NOT COMâ€" PLETED. Let‘s all of us loosen the purse strings just a wee bit more. No project will come to us this year that will deserve any more whole hearted support. © TALENT NEEDED We have a grand USO club for service men, but the building alone is not enough. Those young men will be our guests in the club building only so long as we provide outlets for their energy. Which means that they need entertainment of many kinds. There are lots of folks here in town who have talent along entertainment lines. Can you sing? Can you dance? Are you engaged in amateur theatricals? That nice stage in the USO Club is crying for your presence. Go on over and tell Nick Young or some of his helpers what you can do to cheer t*e ladsâ€"the soldiers and Nick will be grateful. None of us know what may happen before this war ends. Hence it will be worth while for adults to take a close personal interest in the offer of the Sheridan Rifle and Pistol Club to teach us how to © â€" HORSEâ€"SENSE ECONOMY The government asks householders to save all collapsible conâ€" tainers, shaving cream tubes, etc. These containers are almost pure tin, and tin is a product the supply of which is cut off by the war. Housewives are asked to save and sell all waste grease from the kitâ€" chen. Its interesting to know that these things, so long regarded as nuisances in the average household, now can fulfill a real need. Also, by saving waste fats, there is less likelihood that dietary restrictions will be imposed. . ; © â€" SUGAR IS SCARCE shoot. The paratroops of the current war are not going to be landed hereâ€"we hope. But the civilian defense program will inevitably enâ€" tail some guard or patrol dutyâ€"and a watcher who handles his weaâ€" pon in a businessâ€"like manner inspires confidence in the right place and also fear in the right place. Learn to shoot, citizens. It is your heritage and today, your duty. Last but not least, it is a real sport. © LEARN TO SHOOT It is shameful, the way some of our citizens expect the rest of us to "carry them" in tax matters. The unpaid taxes have accumulated to such an extent that Highland Park‘s share would do almost all our city needs in the way of fixing streets and sewers, adding needed police and fire service, modernizing traffic control. Certainly, with a war to win, the future will not make taxes any easier to pay, Going on the well proved theory that its easiest to pay bills when they are current, some of the owners of property in Highland Park will fil’d they are still not too far behind to pay up and get rid of a major worry. s A With the tire restrictions laid down in such a stringent manner, to the end that tires will be available for those whose services are indespensible in gefense, public health and other types of work, it beâ€" hooves the rest of us to really cut down on tire use. One sure way to keep your tires in service a long time, and likewise yourâ€"automobile, is to cut your road speed down to somewhere between thirty and forty miles per hour. Excessive speed is not only unpatriotic these daysâ€"it is likewise needlesly extravagant, because tires wear twice as fast under high speed. Also, gasoline burns milch faster. Lower road speed would cut the number and severity of automobile accidents, also. Soâ€"what‘s the hurry ? Take your time, so Uncle Sam can hasten to his appointed task. © â€"THOSE DCIJN?S‘INT TAXES It is shameful, the way some of © â€" PATRIOTIC SELF INTEREST Vol. 31, No. 47 k by IVAN N.

The survey is being conducted among all of the nation‘s 40,000 dealers and distributors and is designed to furâ€" nish the Toledo concern with informaâ€" tion which should prove valuable in letting subâ€"contracts on its rapidly exâ€" panding armament business. Mr. Fraâ€" zer said that his company is now comâ€" pletely converted to war production and plans to "farm out" part of its present and future govenment work to dealers equipped with lathes, drill presses, grinders and other machine tools. y The survey also asked for inforâ€" mation â€"on sale and distribution facilâ€" ities which may be available for the distribution of civilian defense items such as gas masks, stirrup pumps, air raid shelters and others.
