Sunset Valley Golf Club Reduces Rate _ When the war came to England, many people, fearing. for their pets, had them destroyed. Children grieved, parents were at a loss to know what to do to replace the love and companionship of the pups and kittens that had meant soâ€"much to the little folks. Then, belatedly, it was realized that children, in caring for their pets during air raids, fires and other emergencies, forgot their own fears. Today, England is asking for pets for her children, in the realization that there is an affinity among the young that nothing can replace, and that the high morale existing among children and in families where pets are kept is a precious national asset. Here in America, we have for some years had an annual "Be Kind to Animals" Week, to give tangible expression to our love for pets, and to help educate people in the care of our four footed friends. With the war to win, we need more than ever the love and understanding our pets give us so freely. "Be Kind to Animals" Week is a splendid time to learn more about household pets, and, if you do not have a puppy or a kitten for your children to lavish their love on, make it a point to get one. It will prove a disâ€" tinct assest in your kome.

You saw an opporunity to do something on behalf of the men in uniform, and you proceeded to do a fine job. You acquainted the soldiers at the fort and the sailors at Great Lakes with our town. You showed them we have their interests at heart. Best of all, you showed us how to make our interest in the service men a tangible thing, of value to the men in a practical way. You showed us too, how to give of ourselves. So we owe you adebt, Nick, and there will ever be a spot in our town for you. After you have doneâ€"your overseas job for the USO, come back to us. And on your new mission, you carry with you the sincere interest and best wishes of all your friends, the citizens of Highland Park. _ The Red Cross advises that nearly ten thousand people have each contributed one pint or more of blood to the Red Cross blood bank being built up by that great organization for the purpose of saving the lives of men wounded in battle. Just think! 9,793 people have gone quietly down to Red Cross headquarters, announced their desire to give their blood, and to a man, they are nameless. No one, except Red Cross officials, knows the the names of the donors. We think there is a high degree of patriotism in the citizen who gives his own blood. Somehow it is different than giving money or goods. It is as intimate and perfonal a gift as a donor can make. Brave, fine, sturdy, these people are further convincing evidence, if it were needed, that Americans are proud of their nation, their men in service, and their own ability to do anything to contribute to the success of the war effort, or that will minimize suffering that may arise from it. © â€" SCHOOL ELECTIONS SATURDAY The school boards will hold elections Saturday to determine the will of the voters as to school board members for the forthcoming term. Membership on a school board doesn‘t carry a great political prestige. There is no particular glory in the job. On the contrary, there is a heap of hard, thankless and oftentimes heartbreaking work. The people who have signified their willingness to serve are doing so from an unselfish motive. They know that upon the schooling our childmnc&vetodnywilldependthetypeofcitiumwhomkeup our electorate in the future. All honor to the candidates for positions on the school boards, whether they win or lose.

Rotarians Elect 1942 Directors At Luncheon Meeting In March the needs of the men had to be takn care of by the city adminâ€" irtration and the civic needs adminisâ€" tered through récreation, health and welfare. The Service Men‘s Club was turned into a city wide program. The Highland Park Service Men‘s club has been in operation a little more than a year. When one looks back it seems almost incredible that such an organization, starting on such a small scale, could possibly have grown into such a strong and powerful project in such short time. Perhaps the credit should go to the executive director, Nick T. Young, who has worked day and night to put it overâ€"or to the civic and civil minded people of the comâ€" m_mi}y who have given so generously dividulas and a few organizations felt the need to care for the soldiers and sailors in our midst, but it was not until February 1941 that the Highland Park Community center appointed a committee to investigate a program for the service men. The committee consulted ‘with Mayor Frank Renan, and he set up the Highland Park Comâ€" mittee for National Defense. This comâ€" mittec, together with the mayor, conâ€" sulted with experts and committees from Fort Sherida nand Great Lakes to determine the needs and prospects of the men in service. Seven directors were elected at the weekly meeting of the Highland Park Rotary club Monday in the. Hotel Moraine Onâ€"theâ€"Lake. They are Rex Andrews, Paul Beâ€" hanna, W, Raymond Grant, Earl W. Gsell, Nafe Larson, J. Howard Morâ€" an and Dr. J. P. O‘Connell. These men and the retiring presiâ€" dent, Harry Earhart, from the 1942 board of directors. They will meet after the luncheon next Monday to elect officers. Progress Shown In Growth of Highland Park USO Club of their time and moneyâ€"or to the service men themselves, who have, with theit sincere appreciation of the club, given us all the incentive to carry on. In May the operation of the Service Men‘s club was transferred to the Highland Park Army and Navy YMC It was in June that Highland Park chapter of the USO organized to raise funds to carry on the work. The group was composed mostly of the heads of the Highland Park community organiâ€" zations. Through the splendid and unâ€" tiring work of these various commitâ€" reached the quota. After electing their directors, the Rotarians heard a talk by a Red Cross representative.

Ds Plan Program Winois, Thursdaoy, April 9, 1942 to Selective Service Boards To Have 2 More Members High Schoolâ€"Grade School Children Devote Vacation to Aid Cleanâ€"up Week Paul G. Armstrong, State Director of Selective Service today anncunced that the membership of each of the 361 Local Selective Service Boards in lilinois has been increased by two members. ‘The names of the 722 men who have been recommended by Govâ€" ernor Green to the President for apâ€" pointment have been sent to Washingâ€" ton. It is expected that confirmation will be made immediately. "Because of the greatly increased number of registrants," he said, "the local board of three members have been swamped with work. These men are volunteers. They sacrifice much of their personal time to the work of Selective: Service without compensation. It seemed unfair to inâ€" crease their burden without giving them additional help. Also in comâ€" munities where agriculture is the preâ€" dominate industry it also seemed that Local Selective Service Boards should have an increased farmer representaâ€" tion. In such communities the new members, wherever possible, have been chosen from the farmers of those communities."

In July 1941 the reâ€"organization of these committees became the Highland Park U.S.O. Operations Committee. With Mayor Frank J. Ronan as general chairman, the following local national defense committees were Inrgely responsible for the growth and successful operation of the Service club; education, S.

A year has passed since the Service Men‘s club was started. In that time, the club grew to such a nextent that the building at 21 North Sheridan road could no longer house the soldiers and sailors who ‘came to the clubrooms. On Christmas day, 1941, the new serâ€" vice men‘s club, 21 Breen Bay road, was opened. It is a fine big beautiful structure, which is smoothly operated by volunteer workers of the commuâ€" nity, under the able guidance of Nick tinue her work with the Girls Service <«Jub downâ€"we‘ll keep it going for and every man in service. Director Armstrong said there were several reasons for increasing the number of board members at this time.
