_As the war continues, the feeling grows in most of us that we want to do everything we can as individuals to bring the Peace. Little by little, we realize that no sacrifice we can be called upon to make will be too great. Privation, hunger, discomfort, sufferingâ€"of the inevitability of all these we are cognizant. We know our fighting forces require the wholeâ€"time services of millions of men and women in factories, shops and mills formerly devoted to civilian production. We know we must sacrifice style, frequently comfort too, in our clothing, shoes, transportation. If the statistics are correct, cighteen civilian workers are required to supply the needs of every man in ‘service, so it is easy to see why our normal comforts cannot be served. Now, however, comes an opportunity for service which is much more intinte,muehleuimpuloqal.thmmmtoftheooutfibufiou' requested of us. Through the good offices of the Highland Park Womans Club, one of the mobile blood donor units of the American Red Cross will be in Highland Park during the first week in August to accept blood donations. Here, then, is our chance to give of ourâ€" selves, to present to the nation‘s fighters that most personal gift, one which may well mean tht difference between life and death. Blood plasma, taken from the blood of every donor, is sent where ever American armed forces go. It is available to every wounded man © â€"MOST PERSONAL GIFT as needed. The use of plasma does away with the need, generally speaking, of finding a donor with the same blood type as the wounded man. It often brings patients out of shock and often sets them on the road to recovery in almost miraculous fashion. ‘The opportunity of don;gourownbloodtoourownhoys,tobeundinnmeofcfifi- cal isapfivilegeWeptedictviflbefmmorbymtofthe ctitizens of Highland Park. We feel sure the donor unit will be kept busy every minute of its five days here. Don‘t forget to make your appointment with the Office of Civilian Defense (H. P. 1400) or with Mrs. Herbert Smith (H. P. 480) if you expect to be among those to "give a pint." 5 Why is it that the average middleâ€"aged man, still in his prime physfi:lly, and with the advantage of years of experience, is having such a hard time getting into a place where his strength and skill can be of use to the nation in this time of need? Right here in Highland Park, home of some of the real brass hats in the war effort, are scores if not hundreds of men who recognize the gravity of the naâ€" tional situation, and who would like nothing better than to close their desks for the duration and work for Uncle: Sam,‘ in any capacity. Men not actually engaged in war work today realize that nothing is as important as winning this war. These men are crying aloud for a chance to serveâ€"yet service openings are bound around with red © â€" UNUSED, BUT POTENT MAN POWER tape. The old "runâ€"around" is all that too many men get when they try to get into defense work. War effort in most cases is simply proâ€" duction effort, dooez akin to civil production except for intennt;’ % Why, then, should it be difficult for trained business men to "enlist ?"‘ Men who have fought the business battle successfully for many years have a genuine service to contribute to the Victory Causeâ€"their serâ€" vices should be gladly and promptly accepted by our War Government. IIlinois is shortly to have an election. At the same time, we are fighting a foe which is doing its evil best to remove from us forever the opportunity of voting, of exercising our franchise. This foe would like to govern us by force, with the common citizen having no right to an opinion or any expression thereof. It behooves every citiâ€" zen, then, to make certain that he or she is registered and thereby eligible to vote. ‘Whatever your choice of candidates may be, make sure you are in position to express your wishes. The importance of this election cannot be overemphasized. We are preparing to choose public servants to conduct our civil affairs through the balance of the war neriod. The records of every candidate should be scrutinized by an a‘ert, wideâ€"awake, civicâ€"minded electorate. Residents can hardâ€" ly be termed citizens unless they vote, and in casting their ballots, do so in the light of a full awareness of the capacity of each candidate to fulfill adequately the duties of the office he seeks. We all remember that old nzingâ€"uomething about, "For lack of a nail, a shoe was lost, for lack of a shoe a horse was lost, for lack of a horse a battle was lost," etc. In today‘s mechanized war, little things are as vitally important as are the things of magnitude.

Civilian Defense conservation committee. ‘This is considered a good showing from a strictly residential district, Mrs. Colombo stated, and ¢xcludes Highland Park from the rubber "hoarding" communities referred to in government reports. 5. Figures have been announced as to the expected quotas in the coming grease conservation drive. Assigned a quota of four ounces per week per family, Highland Park, with approxâ€" imately 4,000 families should turn in 1,000 pounds weekly. Mrs. Colombo said that there is a good chance that Highland Park will reach that figure. Several weeks ago when a canvass of the butcher shops was made, about oneâ€"half of that amount was being turned in. "Since that time the seriousness of the international situation has been impressed upon: us," she asserted.

Permanent ‘ Registration ‘ Article 11 Honest voting at the polls will be tremendously helped by the Permaâ€" nent Registration Act which went inâ€" to effect June 8, 1942 There is so much detail work connected with the that the County Clerk, Mr. Jay B. Morse, urges the voters of Lake County to register, as soon as possible to lighten the great burden put on his office staff. / This Act vitally concerns every voâ€" ter in the County and by registering now, a voter need neved register again, unless he leaves the county, remarries, or changes his name. Leâ€" gally qualified voters are those men and women who have reached the age of 21 years by the next election, are native born or naturalized citiâ€" zens, and who have lived in the State of Illincis one year, in the county ninety days and in the precinet thirâ€" ty days. Each voter must register in person, singing two cards in the presence of a. deputy register, one card : being kept on file at the County Clerk‘s office and the other being sent to the voter‘s precinet on Election Day. Both cards must have the following information on them, and these facts must be sworn to by the voter before the authorized deputy ; full name, leâ€" gal residence, term of residence in the state, county and precinet, counâ€" try of birth, citizenship (native born or naturalized). In case the applicant is a naturalized citizen he must have papers giving the court, place and date of. naturalization. Voters who are unable to sign their names | may affix a mark to the affidavit, and the officer empowered to give the regisâ€" tration oath will write a detailed desâ€" cription of the applicant in the space provided as well as record father‘s first name, mother‘s first name, from what address the applicant last reâ€" gistered and reason for inability to sign hame. t At election time the duplicate card will be on file in the precinet in which the voter will cast bis vote, and he will be required to sign his name beâ€" fore voting. In case the signature at election time does not correspond to that of the signature in the County Clefk‘s file, his vote can be challenged and will not be accepted until the signature is proved to be correct.
