Friday, March 13 Housing Committee Meeting, 10:30 Fire Chief Hoskins of the Highland Park Fire Department heartily enâ€" dorses the effort toward conservation and urges residents not to start spring fires as they achieve no useful purâ€" pose and are hazardous. Thursday, March 12 Creative Writing class, 10:00 a m. Mr. Baker Brownell, Director American Red Cross First Aid, 7:30 Ravinia and Bracside have been the haven for lovely wild flowers native to the North Shore because a conscious effart â€"has been made to conserve them. _ Ravinia has a natural heritage of elderberry, witch hazel, maple leaf viburnum, hepaticas, wood anemones, meadow rue, white trillium, phlox and many other beautiful flowers and trees. All of these lovely plants can be completely destroyed by fire. There is no greater menace to flowers, trees and property than fire. An apparently harmless fire in the underbrush will destroy the roots of these rare plants. The very undesirable ragweed, burâ€" dock and poison ivy take their place. The Ravinia Garden Club is making an appeal to all residents of Highland Park to help preserve the natural beauâ€" ty for which our town is famous. In other words Highland Parkers, according to the survey recently comâ€" pleted and tabulated by the Highland Park Civilian Defense Conservation Committee under the leadership of Mrs. Philip E. Ringer, Chairman, are not only willing to help the war efâ€" fort by saving papers for reclamation, but are also willinz to help charitable agencies and the schools augment their budgets by allowing them to collect and sell this material. Figures tabulated this week by the committee showed that 44 per cent of the ‘cards returned by the more than 3500 Highland Park residents sipulated dat paper collections should be made bythe four charity agencies that have waste paper as a means of augmenting their funds. 33% of the cards showed that signers wished the school children to call for the papers and the names were given to the schools. The other 22% wished to make their own dis position of papers altho even in this group two thirds have promised that church groups and boy scouts or other agencies could benefit. Ravinia Garden Club Asks Preservation Waste Paper Eight out of ten Highland Park reâ€" sidents want the papers, magazines and other waste that they will accuâ€" mulate picked up at their homes and given to the charities and schools so that these agencies may also be. beneâ€" fitted by the sale of this material Two out of ten will make their own disposition but even in that case in two out of three cases a charity or social agency will benefit, since these resiâ€" dents will aid their church groups and such other agencies as the boy scouts. The committee is particularly pleased to note that groups have alâ€" ready been formed and believes that when Mr. Leopold and his committee finish their job of contacting persons replying to the questionnaires we will be well on our way to the goal of an average of three people per car to and from the various stations. Mr. Leopold suggests that if you have not filled out a questionnaire but would like to be ‘ncluded in a group you send a card to him, or phone him at Highland Park 4606. Within a week or t Leopold, it is hoped t indicated a desire to neighborhood group contacted. t 1 hone aag ig a group C There‘s more truth than poctry in servation Committee just finished cirâ€" culating a questionnaire on the subâ€" questionnaire wanted to determine if residents would be interested in drivâ€" ing groups, and if so, for what trains. The idea was that of a Highland Park resident, Robert Leopold. Several hundered replies were received and turned over to Mr. Leopold. These reâ€" plies have now been tabulated. In the recent survey made at the 8:10 train, according to Mr. Leopold, 127 cars carried only one passenger. It is interesting to note that as shown by the questionnaire 60% of this numâ€" ber are anxious to form station groups. Y. W.C. Aa.
