Seek A Uniform Ordinance After a two year or more struggle it finally appears that the current adâ€" ministration‘s program to collect deâ€" linquent real estate taxes is finally getting under way. Heretofore there have been many meetings held on the subject at which numerous suggestions have been offered on how to go about collecting these taxes. Like a dog chasing its tail, to date the results of all these confabs have been disappoint-‘ ing. However, at long last the council Facts about the selective . service board, preparatory to the forthcoming registration . day, â€" Monday, February 16, have been collected at the request of the state draft headquarters. On that day men between the ages of 20â€" 45 will go to their selective service board: to register for military trainâ€" ing. Experience in other areas has demâ€" onstrated the wisdom of some sort of uniform laws pertaining to blackouts and other Civilian Defense activities when practice over a fairly large disâ€" trict. While the time element is getâ€" ting more and more important the mayor felt that any action on a blackâ€" out ordinance should be postponed unâ€" First and foremost on the program was discussion pertaining to the furâ€" ther development of the community‘s plans for Civilian Defense, In his reâ€" port on Public Affairs, the mayor stated that he had hoped to be able to present to the council for appropriate action an ordinance covering the vaâ€" rious activities involved in operating under a Civilian Defense program However, final action on any such ordinance was postponed until after: a meeting of the Corporation Counsels of North Shore municipalities who were scheduled to meet on Tuesday of this week to work out a uniform law for all the communities in this area to adopt. til the various municipalities around the North Shore have a chance to contact each other and work out some sort. of similiar program acceptable to all. In the meantime, however, the mayâ€" or has appointed a Civilian Defense Committee to work out the details for the complete Civilian Defense proâ€" E. M. Murphy _ have been a ra ther dull and uninteresting affair. YOUR CITY GOVERMENT: WHAT it is Ddoine Only three members of the city council were m hand for Monâ€" day evening‘s meeting but the nature of the toâ€" pics discussed gave a welcome lift to what wherwise . might By Elmore M. Murphy Their total as the third week openâ€" ed Monday (Jan. 19) was $1,181,342 or 32% of the quota assigned to the Chicago . district _ out of â€" the $50,000,000 being raised nationally on proclamation of President. Roosevelt. This, James B. Forgan, general chairâ€" man of the campaign explained, was made .up almost entirely of donations from _ wealthy _ individuals â€"received through the Sponsors Division, corâ€" porate gifts cleared through the Inâ€" dustrial Division, â€" subscriptions from women and _ women‘s . organizations secured by workers in the Women‘s Division _ under Miss Harriet Mc-‘ Laughlin as chairman, and returns from the house to house canvass bcinu‘ carried on in Chicago neighborhoods and many of the suburbs by members of the regular Red Cross Roll Call committees. Contributions from employee groups, he said, are only just starting to be received on account of the time inâ€" volved in distributing pledge cards in the â€" business â€" and _ industrial firms throughout . the . threeâ€"county _ area covered by the Chicago Red Cross chapter. Mr. Forgan emphasized the differâ€" ence between the present campaign and the regular Red Cross roll call reâ€" cently completed. He pointed out that for the normal peaceâ€"time activities of the organization while the money now being raised is strictly an emergency war fund to finance the vastly inâ€" creased demands upon the Red Cross services which a state of war creates. by the time of this meeting. It is now running second, with Winnebago County first. The many people who find it easier to give in January and February may make it possible for Lake County to rank first. This writer is of the opinion that whileâ€"the â€"city‘s present plan to attract tax buyers by making available a list of selected properties is admirable, it is only an emergency measure and cannot be looked upon as a long time solution to the problem. That solution lies in a coâ€"operative attack on the stronghold of civic indifference at Springfield and the sooner the battle starts the quicker the victory will be : Mayor Ronan made his annual plea tor automobile owners to buy their city vehicle tags. He stated that while many hadâ€"complied with the ordinance covering this subject there were many more still running around town with 1941 tags on their cars. They have to be . bought® eventually, he added, so why wait until the local constabulary taps you lightly but firmly on the shoulder. Red Cross Has Third Of Quota With Chicago‘s $3,750,000 Red Cross War Relief Fund in its third week of intensive solicitation, the 100,000 volâ€" unteer â€" workers were. finding out whether or not the first million is acâ€" tually the hardest. _ Commissioner Swanson in commentâ€" ing on this same subject stated that he felt it absolutely necessary for Highâ€" land Park to take the initiative and start the ball rolling towards getting the *legislation enacted in Sprin(fiea to bring order out of the present chaos in the delinguent tax situation in real estate. He feels that if all the taxing bodies affected by this curtailing of their funds would unite and present their case to the powers that be in Springfield even the politicians in Cook County would be unable to stop corrective legislation. Municipalities Need Money Commissioner Sharp pointed out that most communities were desperately in need of more money to carry on their work. He stated that an increased levy would only work an additional hardship on those citizens already payâ€" ing their taxes and that the real source of evil in the situation would go unâ€" touched. © more than promising. As reported in these columns some n wigmcd »r 4A ebhoree praparis list * in Highland Park on which there were delinquent real estate taxes due. This list has at last been compiled and is now available at the City Hall for inspection by prospective tax buyers. A check up of the list reveals that there are several attractive pieces of property available for the astute buyâ€" <r on this basis. The council, through Commissioner Sharp who has had charge of the delinguent tax collection program, wishes to impress on all those concerned that this is no bluff on its part and that it is definitely goâ€" ing through with its program. Those who have been habitually delinquent in their real estate taxes and who feel that the city is helpless to do anyâ€" thing about forcing the issue are due for the surprise of their lives. The next few weeks should prove the corâ€" rectness of this prophecy. has come up with a plan that LIONS Barrington _ Townâ€"Warming . . . 11 nationallyâ€"known â€" speakers . . . January 25 through Febraury 5 . . . admission free . . everybody welcome! That, in brief, is the story of the Barrington Townâ€"Warming. Conceived in 1939 as a revival of the early Amerâ€" ican town meeting for the members of the village of Barrington, Iflinois, and their friends, Townâ€"Warming has become a widelyâ€"known community project. Boasting a galaxy of speakers during the three previous years of its existence, this year, in a warâ€"torn world, the value of Barrington‘s Townâ€" Warming takes on added significance from the list. of prominent speakers and the subjects they have chosen. A partial list includesâ€"Channing Pollock, "What Can We Do For Democracy?" â€"Carroll Binder : "The World In The News"â€"Dr. Ricardo Alfaro: "What Will South America Do?"â€"Denis Conan Doyle: "Will" This War End Christianity ?" R Barrington is proud ofâ€"and invites 9!1 to shnr_:rinâ€"lhe part it is playing in the maintenance of our Aie;;a; ideals. Charter members of the Highland Park Lions club were honored at the meeting Thursday noon at the Open House. Ten years service chevrons were presented to Paul Olson, Ingram Rasmussen and Robert Pease The fourth charter member, Gerrit T. Thorne, passed away just last week. Outstanding stars of stage, screen and radio wilb also be well repreâ€" sented, inasmuch as scores of them are sponsors of the Russian War Reâ€" lief. Among famous sponsors of the organization are: Charles Chaplin, Dame May Whitty, Basil Rathbone, Helen Hayes, Ben Hecht, Robert Benchley, Tallulah® Bankhead, Pearl S. Buck, Katharine Cornell, Lynn Fonâ€" tanne, Jascha Heifetz, and many other famous .persons in political, religious, business and artistic circles. According to Mrs. Philip Moore, coâ€" chairman of the Chicago office at 80 East Jackson, the Russians do not have a pressing need at present for guns, tanks and ammunition as they are getting a liberal supply from the retreating Nazis. Soviet soldiers and civilians, however, are in desperate need of medical supplies, food concenâ€" trates, and warm clothing. By followâ€" ing their scorched earth policy, they are now reâ€"occupying cities and vilâ€" lages barren of necessities of life. Barrington Town Warming To Be Held Jan. 25 The Chicago committee of the Rusâ€" sian War Relief is hopeful that Maxâ€" im Litvinoff, Russian Ambassador, will make his first public address since arriving in this country, at the rally, provided that war developments do not demand his presence in Washingâ€" ton. â€"It â€"isâ€"alsoâ€"expected â€"that â€"Joseph Davies, former U. S. ambassador to Russia, will be present at the meeting. The Russian War Relief was created for the sole purpose of raising medical supplies, food and clothing for civilâ€" igns and soldiers of Russia It is a coordinating body for. all forms of Russian Relief, and operates under the regulations of the Presidents comâ€" mittee on War Relief Agencies. It works in close cooperation with the British War Relief Society, and other major war relief agencies.
