Man is closer to God when he‘s in a garden. Highland Park gardens are among the most beautiâ€" ful in America. Highland Parkers know a happy home usually has a lovely garden. You can‘t be angry at your neighbor, or at anyone, when you‘re surrounded with roses, dahlies, hollyhocks and all the other wonderful flowers that God has placed on this world of ours. Each year, 1 believe, Highland Parkers become friendlier as a result of the annual garden show so ably conducted by the flower and garden lovers of our town. Thanks to the generous officials of Ravinia Park, this year‘s garden show was better than ever for the show was held amongst beauty in a restful setting.

It is at the stations in Chicago that every member has a personal hand in serving directly those whom the organization of Infant Welfare is dedicated to helpâ€"underprivileged babies and children, whether they be black or white, yellow or brown. At these stations from 15 to 60 brightâ€"eyed, appealing little tots are seen "in conference" each day the station is open.
