__. Ome of the outstanding efforts on behalf of the children of Highland Park is our Community Center, under the active direction of Mr. X. The 1942 activities of the Center show a substantially inâ€" creased use of its facilities, and the number of children who make use of the community recreational building is especially noteworthy. We believe Mr. X and his able volunteer workers are doing an especially good job during these war times, when relaxation is of great imporâ€" tance in the maintainance of morale. It is unfortunate that ALL Highland Parkers do not know about the Center. It is a unique inâ€" stitution rendering an unusual service to both the juvenile and adult groups, in both work and play efforts. 1 May 9 has been designated as Safety Patrol Day, to honor the thousands of school boys in their white belts who help to guard the lives of their schoolmates passing traffic intersections enroute to and from school. These lads give their time freely, and their work has been a major factor in reducing the number of child traffic deaths. "The lad in the White belt" is a good citizen, doing his share to proâ€" tect his playmates and also automobile drivers. He is entitled to every respect while he works, and likewise, to our admiration. We have many "Days" and "Weeks" during the yearâ€"none more worthy of observation than Safety Patrol Day. © COMMUNITY CENTER ____ We think of rationing as a term to indicate a grave shortage of some essential commodity ; so grave that the supply must be doled put sparingly. However, the quantity of sugar that will be allowed to each person under the rationing program that requires us to register for supplies May 4, 5, 6 and 7 at the grade schools is distinctly NOT LIMITED.â€" The quantity allowed each citizen is ample for every ordiâ€" nary need. Of course fudge parties are "out," as afe other excessive nses of sugar. But you‘ll have sugar for your coffee, sugar for your cereal, sugar for all normal heeds. So let‘s don‘t feel that the rationing is any hardship. Keep in mind that the sugar saved in the rationing will contribute directly to the success qm'hl', as it is one of the basic materials for the manufacture of explosives. and Bonds. Plainly, the man in the street is doing his fighting with a potent weaponâ€"his purse. Children are buying War Savings Stamps with their pocket money. Housewives are trimming the family budâ€" get enough to permit Bond purchases. Salaried people are allotting a portion of their paychecks for Bond buying. Fraternal and social plus funds available for the war effort. Beginning May 1, the Treasâ€" ury will solicit the voluntary pledge of all employed citizens to allocate 10% of their earnings to Bond purchasing. Certainly the thrift that will make this war a success will have a gratifying afterâ€"effect, in that the Silkâ€"Shirt Era at the time of World War I will not have its counterpart following this war. Instead, there will be a backlog of aqu-,mdadammed-updmdfmtheconmimeaollivh‘ that will keep this nation in prosperous condition for generations. | e WHEN IS A RATION NOT A RATION? { © â€"SAFETY PATROL DAY In many respects, the registration on Monday, April 27 may be the most important of the three. Men of 45 to 65 will make themâ€" selves available for war uses. As a group, these men comprise the massed intelligence and experience of two generations. They have gone through one or more wars. They have seen years of business, much of it extremely successful. They know how to meet life and its problems without overwhelming dismay. They have developed a philaesophy that enablés them to carry on through most of the trials ofâ€"living. In the 45 to 65 class will be scores of thousands of men who are physically fit, mentally able, and demonstrably successful as executives. The third registration should and will provide a resevoir of the finest manpower in the nation; and Uncle Sam will use it, probably to the early discomfiture of the enemy. e â€" FIGHTING WITH MONEY ‘ __, The United States Treasury reports that up to April 1 the naâ€" tion has purchased five billion dollars worth of War Savings Stamps e THIRD REGISTRATION Olruilbhdo;th;râ€"dlardwmuiaflugrinndi- ty that may come in the future. !.h!ikecitia'n!-’hnd.wehave‘ been fortunate in having the‘time to prepare ourselves War time preparation is no time for playâ€"acting or monkeybusiness. Our Civil Ddeuelctivitiesareneurandn-cnl.lmttlnyhvvenaeriompnrpou,1 and citizens should accept the necessity for full cooperation. We must follow the Blackout Regulations closely if the trial is to be of value. Likewise, we must understand that each step of the Defense proâ€" gram has meaning and reason. Explosives intended for the armed forces require packingâ€"â€"hence the waste paper you save will actually help the nation arm its fighters. Salvaged grease in the family kitchen contributes a vital part to the manufacture of powder. The salvaging of scrap metal adds steel and other needed material for tanks, battleâ€" ships, other fighting equipment If we take every step of the national defense program literally, follow it carefully. and abide by all local Civilian Defense regulations, we contribute much to the end that we all strive forâ€"the successful conclusion of the war. © â€" BLACKOUT COâ€"OPERATION Vol. 32, No. 8 Blackout for Highland Park € With Money Safety Potrol 4 mAWNdAW .. &-flyd.:,'u THE PRESS!
