Schreiner, 1 ~ + USO and service officials have officially and unofficially urged that soldiers, sailors, marines and other service men be invited into civilian homes. They advise that a few hours spent away from the restrictions of camp life is greatly appreciated by the men. Folks who have invited the men to home dinners, backyard picnics and similar affairs report that they had as much fun out of having guests from the service as did the service men themselves. This is a good spot too for us to pause and wonder â€" who are the families that are entertaining our Highland Park service men in their homes? Are they getting the kind of treatment we would want them to have? The least we can do is to follow the Golden Rule, on behalf of o@r own flntemrddmsfouneenduthsbydmwnin‘ighkcamy so far this year. Most of these needless fatalities occured when boats overturned. The simplest, easiest way to see that you and your boatâ€" ing party are safe is first to make sure that each member of the party is able to swim ; second, stop the fool that rocks the boat ; third, see that the nonâ€"swimmers aboard are wearing life preservers. Merely having them in the boat is not enough; once the boat overturns, there is no time to don life belts. If the necessity for wearing these bulky garments seems a high price to wear for the pleasure of a boat ride, © â€"EUN WITH A PURPOSE in your garden, so that uneasy gnawing in your conscience will cease and you can sleep the sleep of the just â€" if slightly weary ! © â€"TRAGIC CARELESSNESS Last spring, rather early, lots of Highland Parkers were to be observed disembarking from their trains with their arms filled with rakes, shovels, hoés, watering cans, etc. Great was the ado about the Victory Gardens, Many a muscle ached, many an erstwhile, farm boy realized how far, oh how very far his farm days were behind him. The wives contributed their bit toward the gardens, garbed, of course, in fetching farmerette frocks or overalls. Then the rains came, and the heat, and gardening became SUCH a chore. Weeds outgrew the determination to conquer them. Came the birds, and the insects. And how in the world is YOUR Victory Garden today? Did you have the moral stamina to do all that hoeing? Are you eating now of the fruits of your labors â€" or does your wife buy your fruits and vegeâ€" tables as in former years, at the market? After all, the purpose of the Victory Gardens was to lighten the load on the railroads, so every available freight car could be used for hauling the goods of war, troops, steel, tanks, coal and other essentials. Maybe, if you get busy right this very evening, it isn‘t too late to undo some of the damage â€" _ A unique method of raising funds for the USO has been arrived at by the soft ball enthusiasts of Highland Park. The organization of a team among employees of the city for the purpose of playing visitâ€" ing teams, keeping one eye on the boxoffice, is a splendid idea.

After John Carlow: had casually gone about collecting the ‘savedâ€"up‘ money from the lads, he scooted upâ€" town, bought cakes, cokes, root beer, and paper plates.

Well, after eating all the cake and the crumbs and drinking the last drop of coke and root beer, Tom treated his young deserving friends to a coveted ride in the new, white life boat. After the eventful â€"ride, with reâ€" newed pep, bounce, and enthusiasm the boys continued cleaning up and guarding the beach. help patrol the beach, guard swimâ€" mers, and teach safety. And did Tom appreciate this thoughtfulness? . I‘ll say! Here‘s what he said : Â¥*. "It was swell of the kids. They‘re a keen bunch and they certainly are good helpers. We want to keep our beach clean and safe, and the boys are sure helping to do this." The members of his M;tm and the people of Highland Park are hppy to have the Pahis here. Rev.

A continuing drive is that of saiâ€" vaged scrap metal. While we are beâ€" coming more.and more "tin" minded, it might be well for us to become "meâ€" tal" minded ‘as well. Considering Highâ€" land Park‘s outstanding building proâ€" gram of ‘a year ago, there may be small sections to plumbing pipe, small trimmings from zinc and sheet tin, nails of assorted sizes, etc., that would beâ€"available forsalvage. No piece is too small. One of the best stories curâ€" rent in the field of scrap metal salvage is from the National Geographic Magâ€" azine, which tells of the receipt of a door key by a scrap metal depot, with a tag attached w!ilkh read, "The house belonging to this key was bombed. Please accept for salvage." Speaking of keys, every hpusehold has several old keys whose use has long been forâ€" gotten but. w hich continue to z around in odd places. Those keys, t« gether with the occasional nails, and other metal bits, multiplied by % land Park‘s: 4,000 houscholds, wor yield quite a quantity of scrap metal. While: we have every reason_to be proud of Highlind Park‘s effort in the recent rubber drive, we have still more reason to be proud of the result of the first week‘s greater grease camâ€" paign. ‘The quota set for Highland m is 1000 pounds per week. Mrs, Wyes, Chairman of the Grease Committee, reported. 1051 pounds. Over the quota during the first week Very interesting posters stressing the importance of tin salvage are beâ€" ing shown in several windows of Highland Park shops. These posters are made by Mrs. Ann Landau who is giving much of her talent and time to the making of posters for the varâ€" ious war efforts. Her posters in the USO Club have been highly praised and greatly enjoyed by the boys. u.h:a‘ Park is well into the "Save Tin" campaign, collections havâ€" ing started last Monday. In the outset of this important drive we must make certain that all cans are being preâ€" pared properly because it is more difâ€" ficult to correct an improper preparaâ€" tion than to learn correctly at the beâ€" ginning. There are four simple steps to follow : 1. Wash cans thoroughly after emptying contents, Remove paâ€" per labels. 2. Open cans‘ bottoms as well as tops. Put the tops and bottoms into the can. 3. Flatten cans by stepâ€" ping on them. Leave enough space beâ€" tween flattened sides to see through. Do not hammer them. 4. w "prepared" tins in a nihhltxm separate from trash or garbage One thing is especially important to reâ€" member: in preparing: your cans. Do not‘ let them rust. Be sure they are dry. Do not put them out for collecâ€" tion where they might become wet from dew or rain. A rusty can cannot be deâ€"tinned. +3a Posters In Windows Rubber Over Quota 5c a Copy, $1.50 a
