Highland Parkers, much has been written about Mothers â€" and rightly Find me finer or better Mothers than those we have in Highland Park. {-ttry. ‘ou can‘t. Anywhere. You know that. 1 know it, too. Ilrl-‘MM ow, to the subject 0 Now, to the subject of the day. Dads. Fathers. Dad‘s the fellow who pays the bills. Yes, we know that. But he‘s also the fellow who is sensitive to pain, but because he‘s a real man he can grapâ€" ple with it and frequently overwhelm the pain that cuts deepest. C Extremely stern. But then, after his son has driven off in the family car, Dad will say a prayer. And he‘ll pray deeply and inâ€" wardly, A prayer that counts. He‘ll w‘t-lm his son will be safe. Heroic. red. Successful. And he‘s the man who reads the morning paper as he rides the subâ€" urban train into the city. Yes, he reads about the war, the ships sunk, the airplanes downed â€" and he breathes in deeply, murmuring to himself how he hopes his Bill was not on the sucken merchant ship or in that big bomber crash. P . He‘s the man who will be stern with his son. â€"He says these things silently to him self. But he feels them. So much. Family First Always And he‘s the one who puts his faâ€" mily foremost. That is, Highland Park Dads do. And that‘s what we‘re interested in here and now. Dads are taken too much for granted. Are» t ticn For some reason we feel Dad will always be here to give advice, to help, and to act as a bank and a sympaâ€" thetic creditor. But Dad won‘t be here always. We, the younger generation, are forcing him off the stage. But Dad is a mellow fellow. And he can take it. He keeps tottering along. He‘s leaving a little more shaving cream behind his cars now. And he‘s spendâ€" ing more time raking up the leaves and burning them. Good Percentage Of Registrations For Nov. 3 Election According to County Clerk Jay â€"B. Morse, registration in Lake County was a successful affair, with a good percentage of the voters registering. In the entire county there were 54,â€" 572 registrations; in Deerfield Townâ€" ship, 8,407, and West Deerfield Townâ€" ship, 1,768, About 80 percent of the Highland Park residents registered, he stated, which is approximately the same amount of voters in the city, with the exception of the presidential election. There will be no more registration days until the day of election, Nov. 3, when voters may register at their reâ€" gular polling places. Although they must register for the Nov. 3 election, this will not be a full registration and voters must register in Waukegan beâ€" fore the next election in 1944.

Schuite TOWN The Country Mind lic’ll-.fi‘ud.uluh'o country mind â€" that part of him which sees and reacts positively to He‘s living his life through his son. Perhaps Dad didn‘t have all the "adâ€" vantages:" Money. A comfortable, worryâ€"free home. Automobiles. Eduâ€" cation. But do you think Highland Park Dads deprive their sons of beneâ€" l'ltnodtey'vebu"ahnt? Definitely not. Rather, Dad‘s feeling is one of sacrifice â€" sacrifice until it pinches and stings. He wants his family hapâ€" py. And he makes them that way. Highland Park Dads are not averâ€" age. They‘re high above. And, they‘re different. And that originality should be preserved. Always. How? There are ways. . . For example, we can praise him. We can tell him how proud we are that he has made his mark; that he has kept his mind clear, noble, and idealistic. We can honestly and sinâ€" cerely compliment him off his abilities, on his driving determination to keep the bills paid, food on the table, and money in the bank. We can praise his on these accomplishments, And we should, Now. And always. Highland Park Dads have vividly seen the bleak, the bawdy, the obâ€" scene. Yet they have come back sayâ€" ing YES to life, to people. and to Nature. This in itself is a goal. And deserving of praise. Alright. That‘s enough. There is much more to say. You say it. But, Highland Parkers. let‘s rememâ€" ber Dad. Let‘s bolster his ego. He‘s always boistering ours!

To win this war, the efforts of every citiâ€" zen are required. Throughout the nation, every community must be integrated into the war effort, its production assuring a continâ€" uous flow of war materials and its citizenship strong and well balanced to meet the tremenâ€" dous duties and responsibilities which are rapâ€" idly falling upon it. ~ In this great effort, Highland Park, has a very definite part. To this end, the strength of individuals and families, physical and mentâ€" al, must be kept at the highest possible point in order that they may do their jobs well and effectively. The Highland Park Community Chest, a timeâ€"tested organization for the support of 12 social and welfare agencies vital to the bodily strength and morale of thousands of residents of this city and vicinity, has its place in the war program. It does this in the true democratc wayâ€"the American wayâ€"by the voluntary support of these agencies and instiâ€" tutions. ‘These agencies are particularly vital to the community at all times and especially now in view of the threatening dangers ahead. Al! contribute indirectly to the war effort and these contributions will increase the longer the war lasts Every agency has and is ddapting its program to the new warâ€"created needs of the city. : Instead of many community problems diâ€" minishing under the impact of rising payrolls, America‘sndStrength Highland Park Rabbi Richard C.

More money has brought increased family problems â€"and neglected children are the result, Overâ€" strain, fatigue and loneliness are taking a toll among individuals and families. These are but a few of the factors which are bringing new demands on the services of agencies deâ€" voted to character building, to the protection of young people, to the providing of social, emotional and recreational outlets for large numbers of the city‘s residents in this first year of war. * The nearness of Highland Park to two of the nation‘s large military training centers Designed to provide service to maintain the physical strength, the moral wellâ€"being and the character of individuals and families at the highest possible level, the member agencies which derive their support from the Chest are staffed by experts trained in solving the problems which are now on the rise. These services supplement the work of the churches and the schools and do not duplicate services provided by taxâ€"supported agencies. They represent the services which no other organizations are equipped to give with any degree of efficiency. They are inâ€" dispensable to the wellâ€"being of Highland Park and its citizens. Your support of these agencies through the Chest was needed before the wor. 1t is needed even more now. The appeal is to you to ensure this support at the time when the city requires the services of these agencies 14 would be hard to say which made the bigger hit at the unit on Monday evening of this weekâ€"the famous Aunt Jemina with her remarkable perâ€" sonality or her delectable pancakes.
