Vol. No. 38; No. 34 The Ravinia fire station, thanks to Commissioner Ed Moroney, will be reâ€"opened. We think this a step in the right direction and that it will improve, though not solve, the Ravinia fire protection situation. Neverâ€" theless, the fact remains that three firemen are needed to bring the force back to its former strength. At present it seems there is no solution to the problem of obtaining enough money to replace them. A sofution must, and will be, found. iss oC Ca The obvious solution, an increased tax rate, lost out â€"when the city referendum was defeated. A possible solution would be another referendum, limiting the tax rate increase to exactly enough to meet present needs. Perhaps the elimination of the "cushion‘" included in the previous proposal would get past the electorate. Well, he did it. Its hard to tell how much Truman‘s attacks on the Republican party were bothering Tom Dewey. Dewey didn‘t answer, but continued to follow his program of a "high plane" campaign. Nevertheless, Truman‘s fighting talks were apparently well received. He scored a couple of hits, too, as this column observed same time ago. _ _ But, now he‘s done it again. Anyone who has forâ€" gotten how he approved that speech by Hank Wallace, then said he didn‘t mean it, and forced the Wallace resigâ€" nation because the approved speech was delivered; anyâ€" one who had forgotten or overlooked any of his other demonstrations of his sheer lack of ability as an adminâ€" istrator, was forcibly reminded of them by his latest tanglefoot antics in the Berlin crisis. Mrs. Marc Law To B"*" BILL THOMAS * THE RAVINIA FIRE STATION To Italian Women e TRUMAN OBLIGES We wonder if, when he proposed to bypass the United Nations and leave any allies who supported us out on a possible limb (possibly a Russian limb), he thought it up all by. himself or if he had help. Some of his supporters have apologized for some of his floundâ€" ering in the past by saying that he was "poorly advised." If those advisers were on the job this time, the Republiâ€" can party should give them an "A for effort." f Mrs. Marc Law, former vice president of the League of Woâ€" man Voters of the United States, will leave this country for Italy on November 1, where she will exâ€" plain the workings of a democraâ€" tic form of government to Italian women who have recently been granted voting privileges.

As a result she began her search for the basic solution of the frustrations of human thinking, and has achieved a simâ€" ple reality amidst the confusion of our mddern world needs. After receiving her Master‘s degree and Doctorate from the University â€" of Kentucky, where she spent ten.years teaching, she yielded to demands which have drawn her into the fields of wriâ€" ting and lecturing. To her academâ€" ic training she has added years of travel to study the modern psyâ€" cological trends of the peoples of the world. $ As the author of that important novel "She Came to the Valley" she has told the story of her own mother‘s life. It depicts the comâ€" monâ€"sense psychological approach of a brave young woman carving out a civilization, in the wilderness of the Texasâ€"Mexico frontier. Fear stalks men‘s lives and deâ€" feats their purposes. This interâ€" esting lecture tells how to disâ€" miss fear for a holiday.

Britton, secretary of Community Concerts associaâ€" tion. The auditorium‘s orchestra pit will be filled with folding chairs to accommodate the scholarship holders according to Mrs. Britton. Community Concerts members of last year will remember seeing this done on a small scale last year, and‘ will remember how much the group of students seemed to enjoy being close to the performers. Originated last year by Mrs. Harry L. Canmann, the idéa of scholarships had no fanfare, but aroused such interest that 72 seaâ€" son tickets were bought for that purpose. Mrs, Canmann hopes this year to provide twice that many scholarship tickets through donaâ€" tions from organizations and inâ€" dividuals, Among â€" organizations . which have already pledged one or more scholarships are Rotary, Kiwanis, Ort, Briargate Community, Raâ€" vinia Womans Club, Beth El Sisâ€" terhood, Immaculate Conception parish, and Elm Place Parentâ€" Teachers association. "A chance to hear good music as a child is of the utmost imâ€" portance in developing an enjoyâ€" ment of music and the ability to be an appreciative listener," said Mrs. Canmann. ‘"No child is to be given a whole season scholarship, but rather to be chosen to attend the concert which is most interestâ€" ing to him." Mr. H. N. Finch, who heads the music department at Highland Park high school, is in charge of distributing the tickets to the various Highland Park grade and parochial schools, The number of tickets received by each school is proâ€"rated according to its number of students. The music supervisor of each school then chooses the children who are to receive the scholarships. If a child plays an orchestra instrument, he is likely to attend the symphony concert; if he is a pianist he will likely reâ€" ceive a ticket to hear Fleisher, etc. Highwood, Lake Forest, and Glenâ€" coe schools also share in the allotâ€" ment of scholarships. Checks for concert scholarships are to be sent to Mrs. Lester Britâ€" ton, 733 Princeton avenue; Mrs. Canmann asks that those who wish to pledge scholarships send in their checks without delay in orâ€" der that Mr. Finch can allot them to the various schools. Mrs. _ Canmann‘s . scholarship committee includes Mrs. Arien J. Wilson, Mrs. Sidney L. Schwarz, Mrs. Walter H. Rietz, Mrs. Leo Sheridan, Mrs. Howard Detmar, Mrs. Irving Joseph, Mrs. I,. N.
