Besides his other accomplishâ€" ments, Mr. Wolff is a former naval aviator, newspaper writer and radio and television commenâ€" mrllomu&othhuily of Wisconsin, Massachusetts‘ Inâ€" stitute of Technology and Euroâ€" Ravinia Women To See Travelogue "This Is France" "This is France" is the title of a ‘travelogue that Alfred Wolff, artist photographer, lecturer and world traveler, will give before the monthly meeting of .the Raâ€" vinia Woman‘s club.on Wednesâ€" day, November 10, at 2 p.m. at the Ravinia Village house. We recently saw an ad on a new type of nonâ€" breakable phqnogragh record. According to the ad, a great advantage of this record is the fact that you can let Junior whack it with a hammer and the record won‘t be hurt. Well, that‘s another easy anâ€" swer, but we‘ll bet that Junior will have a lot less gief when l‘lle grows up if hLe learns, maybe by having eapaveptaiiznnies on c m viny oo r NP in us No o Iot Bs P conatir his rear end whacked with a stout hairbrush, that he.can‘t go around whacking things, records included, with a hammer, or anything else. We thoroughly agree that the production of comic books is pretty much a waste of paper and ink and that the reading of them is a waste of anyone‘s time. Nevertheless, we aren‘t at all sure that censorâ€" ship is the answer. An intelligent program designed to elevate the reader‘s taste (and it wouldn‘t have to elevate it very much) probably would be no more expensive, and much more effective. Of course, cenâ€" sorship is the easy answer, which brings to mind another comment. And we‘d like to see what happened should they try to enforce the ban, for the book which contains all of these tales is the Bible. (See Genesis, chapter 27, vyerses 15 to 24, for the story of how Jacob cheated his brother, Esau of his inheritance ; see Judges, chapâ€" Shass ME 02 ie 2 n k _‘ w m & PR 4 ter 15, verses 4 and 5, for: Séfigfi’gvap‘é;bfitflu Efi’e foxes; see Second Samuel, chapter 13, for details on how and why Absalom had his brother, Amnon, killed. Well on that basis, a book telling how one brother cheated another out of ‘R# inheritance would be banned ; a tale relating how a young man, irked with hig neighbors, caught 300 foxes, tied them together, twoâ€"byâ€"two by their tails, ,g"ed burning torches to their tails and then loosed in his neighbor‘s cornfields, would be banned ; the story of how a young man, before he was killed by one of his father‘s servants, contrived the death of his brother, for good reason, would be banned. Butâ€"ce~ orship is an unpredictable thing. Someâ€" times it a nplishes ends unforeseen even by its wellâ€"meanmg creators. Suppose, for example, the lawmakers in their wisdom set up a law reading somet.hing like this, /"It sha!l be unlawful to print, pabjlisn‘ or offer for said, any book, picture book or pamphlet portraying murder, mischief or chicanery." Public prints chronicle the news that one of our municipal neighbors is considering entering the fray to ban comic books. We think that if all the comic books we have ever seen were eliminated, the loss to anyone would be infinitesimal and that the good accomplished might even be measureable. "As this is written, we don‘t know who will get the Republican nomination. Whoever is nominated will do well to avoid becoming infected with the ‘we can win with anyone‘ attitude. That attitude leads to the ‘we can win with anything‘ attitude . . ." Yeah, we were right when we said that, but we draw the curtain of charity over some subsequent remarks. Move over, brother, we, too, knew that it was in the bag for Dewey. â€" We can also remember, if we have any sense of humor, remarks such as one that aggeured in this column a couple of weeks ago to the effect that "we will take a nice quiet campaign and be on a winner." However, just to take the bad taste out of our mouth, we can also recall at least one time when we were right. That was on June 24, when we said: e CENSORSHIP Now that it‘s all over, all of us secondâ€"guessers can get up and try to explain how it was that what happened was what none of us expected to happen. Now we can opine that "it is obvious" that the man in the street was more interested in Truman‘s atâ€" tacks, verbal attacks, that is, on high prices, than he was in Dewey‘s homilies on unity. & POST MORTEM Vol. No. 38; No. 37 Up To Now By Bill Thomas Pollowing Mr. Wolff‘s lecture, tea will be served by the house committee headed by Mrs. Arthur Schramm, chairman, and assisted Rtont tntuiin: Nee doablactine Scassellati and Mrs. W.

So successful has the plan provâ€" en that the State Highway Comâ€" mission has requested a copy of the plan, and the Governor writes that he feels making it available to other communities: throughout the State will prove most helpful. Illinois To Adopt Safety Lane Plan Used In Highland Park In a letter received by Mr. E. L. Gilroy, Chairman of the Traffic Commission, from Gov. Dwight H. Green, the Governor compliâ€" mented Highland Park on the highly successful results obtained during Safety Week when almost 1000 local cars passed through the State Safety Lane which was set up by the State Highway Departâ€" ment during three days of that The contest was sponsored by the Kiwanis club of Highland Park,. with Mr. Harold Bridges chairman of the special commitâ€" In the opinion of the judges, the best display produced by the young artists was that on the window of Maiman‘s Barber shop, 381 Roger Williams avenue. A elose second was that at Golden Motors on 106 ‘So. First street. And close upon its heels came the picture at Arnold Petersoni‘s Heatâ€" ing and Plumbing company, 365 Roger Williams. As is the case in all competiâ€" tive projects, the decisions were hard come by. Such a wealth of clever material to choose from is a real headache to judges. For instance, an immense shoe, appropriately decorated, appeared on the large window of a shoe repairing shop . . . . jackâ€"o‘â€"lanâ€" terns wearing saucy hats graced a millinery store. On the windows of the building which will house the new Stevens store was the professionally drawn "Injun Sumâ€" mer" for which John T. McCutchâ€" eon will ever be affectionately remembered.

The reâ€"election of H. L. Kenniâ€" eott of 335 North Linden Street, Highland Park, Iilinois to the Kemper Insurance Junior Board was announced. today by James 8. Kemper, chairman of Lumberâ€" mens Mutual Casualty Co. and other companies in the insurance fleet bearing his name. H. L. Kennicott Reâ€"elected To Kemper Junior Board According to Millard, this leaves it squarely up to the Interâ€"Comâ€" munity Transport Committee, reâ€" cently formed by ~mayors and presidents of . six north shore towns, to map moves for taking over the lines under public ownâ€" ership. Headed by Village â€"Presiâ€" dent William G, Warfield III of Winnetka, theâ€"mayors‘.group inâ€" cludes officials of Wilmette, Kenâ€" ilworth, Winnetka, Glencoe, Highâ€" land Park and Lake Forest, Wilâ€" iam J.

"Private management either can‘t or won‘t take necessary steps to reorganize the electric railroad on an effiâ€" cient basis. The towns must tackle this jobâ€"and at once." . Thotney‘s â€" statement came in answer to an inquiry by Everett L. Millard, viceâ€"chairman of the North Shore Chapter of American Veterans Committee. The liberal exâ€"GI group has been among the civic organizations seeking a longâ€" range traffic solution for the shore line suburbs. f Chances of saving the North Shore electric road are now up to the towns‘ own efforts, it became apparent this week. Despite taggâ€" ing of a December 15th stookâ€" holders‘ meeting call as "precauâ€" tionary", North Shore Line presiâ€" dent Bernard J. Fallon through a spokesman refused to sanction a suggestion that other possibilities than junking are still open to the road‘s management. "To say that abandonment of this portion of the railroad is not inevitable would serve no good purpose and might lead to further public misunderstandings," deâ€" elared the line‘s public relations director C. Edward Thorney of Highland Park. In Highland Park‘s 14 preâ€" cincts, Dewey led his party with 4,858rvotes, to Truman‘s 1,584, on the basis of unofficial returns. Brooks carried the city with 3,947 votes to 2,539 for Douglas. Green eked out an exceedingly slim victory of 150 votes, with a total of 3,361 to 3,211 for Stevenâ€" In the county race, Wilmot took every precinet from Cermak, in the contest for Circuit Court Clerk; Fredbeck, running for Reâ€" corder of Deeds, took all precinets from Lind; Hall, States Attorney, lost three of the 14 precinets to Moore, a Highland Parker; Leaf, Coroner, won all precincts from Wray; Pearsall, Countyâ€" Auditor, took all precinets from Estes, and Christian, Sheriff, won all preâ€" cincts from Dyer. Thorney Vetoes Any Hope For Electric While President Truman‘s slashing political campaign was paying off vote dividends in most of the rest of the nation, and while the persistent campaigns waged by Adlai Stevenson and Paul Douglas were swinging a maâ€" jority of Illinois areas into the Democratic _ column Tuesday, Highland Park remained a citadel of Republicanism although the race for the governorship showed that hundreds of nominal repubâ€" licans crossed over into the Demoâ€" cratic column to vote for Stevenâ€" son. Lake county as a whole, also remained true to its postâ€"Civil war tradition, and rolled up majorities for all Republican candidates.
