Our present political "leaders" seem to think that the law was meant to prevent any group from stopping productionâ€"unless that group happens to constitute labor leaders. ® Years ago, an American Congress passed a law known as the Sherman Antiâ€"Trust Act. It was passed because that Gon&ress believed that no group of men should have the power to say that unless their demands (as to prices) were met, production should stop and our economic life grind to a stop. 6 What difference does it make who shuts down the factories, so long as they are shut down? What difference does it make which group it is that can force compliance with its demands? It isn‘t who is doing it, but what is being done. In a pamphlet being distributed with the current issue of AMERICAN AFFAIRS, Donald R. Richâ€" berg, long known as a real friend of labor, who helped write the Railway Labor Act of 1930 and who sucâ€" teeded General Hugh Johnson as head of the NRA, says, "organized labor . . . is going to destroy itself and the American way of life if it does not find better guidance than it is getting today from its selfâ€" absorbed, shortsighted leaders and the fuzzyâ€"minded ir}h?};ectuals who call themselves ‘liberals‘ and ‘friends of Labor‘ ". Vol. No. 39; No. 33 e WHAT‘S THE DIFFERENCE The whole pamphlet bears quotation, but there is one more sentence we consider particularly imâ€" portant. " . . . the idea that, with liberal idealism, we can develop a national welfare state that will not be a police state . . . is corrupting the American mind." _ We need better leadership. Perhaps the Republiâ€" can party can furnish itâ€"if it really wants to. AVC to Show Famed Documentary Movie There‘ll be a chance to relive "The True Glory" of war‘s higher resolve when the film of that name appears as the feature of a North Shore American V .terens Committee meeting at 8 p.m. on Wednesday evening, October 26, at â€" Highland Park Community Center. Many among the critics acclaim "True Glory", Academy Award winner of 1946, as the best docuâ€" mentary movie of the late war. Made at General Eisenhower‘s order by the combined skill of British and American cameramen, the featureâ€"length story brings the woices of soldiers of every race and background among the Allied armies. Its theme is the unity of democratic battle. "Some people missed this film," explained _ Program _ Chairman Dick Ginzburger, Winnetka, "Othâ€" ers will want to see it again. It‘s one of AVC‘s presentations of excellent revival, documentary and foreign movies in various North Shore towns."

Patten Chief of Police Up To Now By Bill Thomas Wesley Methodist Church To Observe Family Night So that all of the work does not fall on a certain few members, each group of the church will have an important duty to perform. The Men‘s club will have charge of the program, the "Young Couples club" will clear the tables, and later take care of the chilâ€" dren; the "Methodist Youth Felâ€" lowship" will wash the dishes. Following the supper, the various groups will hold their monthly business meetings, Family night of the Wesley Methodist church will be held at the church on Highwood avenue and Everts place, Wedn@sday, October 26th, starting with a pot luck supper at 6 p.m. The alphaâ€" bet system of ph:ning the menu will again be used since it has been so successful in the past.

The Higbland Park Presgs [:=>~>] A Paper for Highland Parkets ® Published by Highland Parkers Highland Park, Tlinois Thursday, Oct. 20, 1949 Kiwanis Club‘s Art Witchery Program For Hallowe‘en With the fragramce of burning leaves heralding the approach of Hallowe‘en, the Kiwanis club anâ€" nounces a repeat performance of last year‘s Art Witchery project, in cooperation with local Art teachers and school officials.

Baughman, Verne Heins, Jerry Leeming and Lioyd Vinyard, chairâ€" man, will have a tough job choosâ€" ing the winners. While many merchants were left out of the program last year, owing to shortage of materials, this year there is enough material to take care of everyone, accordâ€" ing to Harold Bridges, chairman of the Plans and Policy committee.

Schools taking part in the project are Elm Place, Lincoln, Ravinia, Ridge, Braeside, Oak Terrace and Immaculate Conception.

Halton, Jr., a high official of the Voters‘ League, publicly stated that if the intermediate school should be built, his comâ€" mittee might retaliate by attemptâ€" ing, through a referendum, to reâ€" duce the legal rate of levy of the educational fund, from which fund is paid teachers‘ salaries and genâ€" eral operating expenses. > This statement is interpreted by the Board as a threat that if, in the exercise of its best judgment; the Board should proceed with the building of the intermediate schook as authorized by referendum, the Voters‘ League in reprisal might attempt to destroy the high standâ€" ard of education which the Board is trying the maintain. Action of this character certainly has no place in i‘fighhnd Park, and there are undoubtedly members of the Voters‘ League and citizens who have signed the Voters‘ League petition who will wish to go on record opposing it. Certainly the Board can be deâ€" pended upon to use its best judgâ€" ment to further the best interests of the community. Sincerely, Board of Education District 108 Highland Park, lllinois Open Letter Mr. J. M. Maxwell, President Board of Education, District 108 Highland Park, HIl. Dear Mr. Maxwell: Thank you for your letter of Oct. 13. f In view of the fact that a petiâ€" ticn signed by more than 3,000 citizens residing in School District 108 will be presented to your Board in the near future, it would seem advisable to defer the formaâ€" tion of any committee until after that date. This petition, requesting further examination of the school needs of our community before your Board proceeds with plans to erect a new intermediate school, is supâ€" ported by a preponderant majority of taxpayers representing every shade of public opinion. Study of this petition by your Board will clearly establish that it was brought into being without any thought of preâ€"empting your authority or exerting pressure of any kind that might impair the effective administration of our school system. Because of these facts we are confident our petition can constiâ€" tute the basis of an amicable agreement, In the meantime I will be glad to confer with you at your conâ€" venience, if there is any further information that you may want.

Block capâ€" tains are being urged to complete their calls within the next few days and tell each and every prospect the importance of makâ€" ing an increased contribution! Unless increases are made all along the line, including the busiâ€" ness district, Highland Park will fail to make its Chest quota. Acâ€" tually, it‘s inconceivable that Highland Park‘s citizenry and the business firms which earn a livâ€" ing in this community, should fail to meet their Chest obligations. Must Give More This Year "As I look at it," reported the owner of one of Highland Park‘s business firms, "we just have to give increases this year when greater needs dictate an increased Chest budget. When I realized that my one Chest contribution helps 12 separate causes, and that each one of them deserves my support, it seems logical to loosen the purse strings and give even more generously than ever before. Those of us who earn our living in Highland Park, I feel, have a double obligation to the Chest Fund. As I see it, the Chest should réceive the largest contribution that any Highland Park business firm makes to any charitable cause throughout the year." This same viewpoint has been expressed by many Highland Park residents, too, who ‘have increased their Chest contributions in order to‘enable Highland Park to meet its 1949 Chest goal. Multiply Chest Gift by 12 "Many of my friends â€"agree with me", said one resident who more than doubled his contribuâ€" tion this year, "that we should no longer treat the Chest as we treat any other single charitable cause. For far from being one cause, the Chest comprises 12 of them, all needy. And, therefore, if any one cause deserves our support for $10, let us say, we should logically multiply that $10 by 12 when we make our Chest pledwe. That‘s why I volunteered a sizeable increase for the Chest in my home comâ€" munity this year. I‘m sure that hundreds of other Highland Parkâ€" ers will agree with me and feel it a privilege to volunteer increased contributions too." tions has for four years served not only as the meeting place in which the nations of the world can discuss their disagreements and their mutual problems, but the organization which is deâ€" veloping progress to deal with the world‘s economic and social WHEREAS: In a resolution of the General Assembly it has been stated that "The United Nationg.cannot achieve the purâ€" poses for which it has been creâ€" ated unless the peoples of the world are fully informed of its aims ‘and activities", THEREFORE BE IT REâ€" SOLVED: That I, Robert F.
