We have a friend who needs a home for his wife and three children. y He hasn‘t a lot of money, being a veteran, so he can‘t afford to build a new home or buy one of these highâ€"priced ones all around us. l ga If you know of any quarters in this area suitable for a growing family of five, with the rent no higher than it should be, we wish you‘d let us know. He added that he could probâ€" ably get fine quarters in Chicago if he‘d pack up his family, travel to Europe, get lost among the disâ€" placed persons abroad and then request shipment to America, and to Chicago, where hundreds of wlisplaced Europeans are finding new and adequate homes. So, we thought we‘d appeal to you PRESS readâ€" Srs who always help when it‘s possible for you to o so. DISPLACED PERSONS _ We‘ve been trying to help him, but we‘ve had no success to date. Our friend made a remark the other day about his housing probâ€" lem that‘s sadly believable, ges He said we Americans are findâ€" ing plenty of housing for disâ€" placed Europeans now entering our country, It‘s a sad commentary, alright, wlhen we Americans can‘t take care of our own . . . particularly vets who gave up so many valuâ€" able years to protect a nation that seems reluctant to house its exâ€" GIs.

Young had a field day as he made several nice runs other than his touchdown and extra point jaunts. The whole Highland Park line nlayed good ball as they opened large holes in the Evanston forâ€" ward wall to let the backs gain alâ€" most at will. Drive 80 Yards To Score The Blue and White started their first touchdown drive early in the game as they drove from the Evanston 20 yard marker to the Highland Park 15 yard stripe. This march. was featured by a couple of runs by Young and the line plunging of Dan Coleman. With the ball on the Evanston 15 yard marker the Blue and White were victims of a 15 yard penalty which put the ball back on the 30 yard line. After a series of line plunges and end runs the Little Giants had the ball on the Evansâ€" ton 6 yard line with a first down and goal to go. On the first play Coleman lost a yard. Young then carried the ball to the 3 yard line and Dan Coleman plunged to the 1 yard marker from which he took the ball over into pay dirt for the first score of the game. Young went over for the extra point to make the score Highland Park 7, Evanston 0. In the second quarter Highland Park again drove from the Evansâ€" ton 20 in‘a series of plays and finâ€" ally Young seampered around end to score for the Blue and White. A pass over the goal Tine from Dan Coleman to Tagliapetria was good for the extra point making the score Highland Park 14, Evanâ€" ston 0. Score In Last 45 Seconds Of Half In the last 45 seconds of the first half a pass to Stewart of Evanston was good for a touchdown. They failed to score the extra point. The score at half time read: Highâ€" land Park 14, Evanston 6. game, The final score: Highland Park 20, Evanston 6 Play Waukegan Saturday i In the third quarter Young aâ€" gain broke loose, this time from the Evanston 35 yard stripe to score the final touchdown of the This Saturday afternoon the Blue and White will tangle with the â€" Waukegan â€" "Bulldogs" who lost last week to Oak Park by a 40 to 6 score. This Waukegan team has played some good ball at times this season and has plenty of speed in the backfield and if they can get their passing attack to function they can well give the Little Giants a run for their money. How About A Little Support: If a few of the students of Highâ€" land Park high school would get out and support their team, al omg with a few of the town people,; the Little Giants would give out a little more. There was a very small crowd at the Evanston game, even though the weather was perfect. The Highland Park Froshâ€"Soph took a 44 to 6 lacing from the Evanston bovs and these lads from H.

Both the new best sellers and the classics are included. All varieties of subject matter in ficâ€" tion and nonâ€"fiction will be repâ€" resented. Special displays of books on sports, music, gardening, pets and technical subjects within the realm of school age interest will be arranged in attractive order. Books will range in price from very inexpensive to valuable colâ€" lector‘s items. There will be books for all. The conyenience of Christâ€" mas gift buying on this occasion and the advantages of the efforts by the teachers and the parents to feature and recommen‘d the most suitable books is of splendid assistâ€" ance. Miss Hanscomb and Miss Turpin who direct the art and craftsmanâ€" ship interests of the children have contributed much in the way of attractive posters and signs, The Fair will be staffed, by school mothers as sales wn_;}.cn and the invitation to children;, parents and friends is to "browse" as well as to buy. The profit from the sale of books will be turned over, as in the past, by the P.T.A. to the library fund of the school. Visual Education Used Widely In Schools Of District 108 The schools of District 108 recâ€" ognize the old adage that "one seeing can be worth ten thousand tellings" by making audioâ€"visual education an integral part of its Films (sound and silent), film strip materials, slides, radio proâ€" rams, recordings, records, flat pictures are a few of the aids that are used by the teachers in helping the children obtain a clear, conâ€" cise picture of the topics that they are studying. curriculum Over one hundred pictures from such sources as Coronet, Eastin, Encyclopedia Britannica are used and shared by the various schools in the district. An examniation of the film schedule reveals that there are pictures on safety (playâ€" ground, home, bicycle) fireman, policeman, nature study, art, phyâ€" sical education (how to play varâ€" ious types of games, posture), geoâ€" graphy, literature, history, music, and science. The support of the movie schedule comes primarily from the revenue collected from the <a‘e of used papers and magâ€" azines, The programs are directed by Mr. Raymord Naegle, Principal of Ravinia School; Mr. Stanley W. McKee, Principal of the Lincoln School: Mr. Arno Wehle, Principal of the West Ridge School; Mr. Darrell Beam, Principal of the Braeside School.
