A â€" most particular â€" Highland Parker reported to us the other day that the Parkway Curtain Laundry on North Greén Bay Rd., across from the fire station, does beautiful work on rufflied organdy curtains and tumble twist rugs. Organizations Unite In Naming May 8 Cleanâ€"up Day Keep up the splendid work, you folks at Parkway! Ed Brown of the Park Board is unhappy. But Mayor Robert Patâ€" ton, Police Chief Ed Patten, the Lions‘ club and the North Shore Yacht club have promised to help him out. Mr. Brown‘s bad day was caused by a recent stroll down the beach. Maybe to you Highland Park‘s fine beaches just mean swimming and boating, and maybe just pleasant dreaming on a sunny day. So maybe you don‘t know those beaches are pretty busy in the winter too. From their appearance every Spring, traffic has been heavy during the cold months, and the visitors are an unpleasantâ€" ly careless lot. All of which means Spring cleanâ€"up is at hand. At last week‘s Lions‘ club meeting, aid was promâ€" ised. Mayor Patton pledged the help of the City Council, and Ed Patten the help of the Police Deâ€" partment, Two members of the North Shore Yacht club, Ed Weeks and Ray Johnson, were present at the mecting, and they volunteered their club‘s cooperation. The Boy Scouts will be asked, as will orâ€" wanizations fromâ€" Deerfield and Highwood. Early plans look highly interâ€" esting, since pains are being taken to turn Cleanâ€"Up Day into a pleas~ ant interâ€"community outing. The day has been set for Sunday May ®, with the possibility of postponeâ€" ment of one week, to May 15, if weather is bad. All organizations cooperating on the project are asked to be present at the next Lions‘ meeting on Tuesday, April 5th. All final plans will be made at that time.
