Of course, proponents of the measure piously disclaign any intent to "license" illeâ€" gal gambling, but, if they seriously intended to shut down every joint that sent in the government‘s cut, do they think that anybedy who is smart enough to make his money the easy way, would, at the same time be dumb enough to say, "here is your take, please come and close me up?" > /~â€" It is well known that any taxing body is laggardâ€" 1& (to put i} l.xzilq-ly) in giving up any good source of The Offâ€"Campus Workshop oper. to W Park and Deerâ€" field wom: write, will begin its 1951â€"1952 season October 11.

T. Bresnehan, 1344 Arbor ave.; and Mrs. Robert O. Farrell, 321 N. Deere Park dr. Due to the death of the former director, Frederic Nelson Litten, the group is now under the superâ€" vision of Mrs. Adelaide Gerstley of Chicago, and Mr. Lawrence Keating of Milwaukee. The three eight week terms will be divided between the two teachersâ€"the first twelveweeks conructed by Lawrence Keating, the second by Adelajde Gerstley. Mr.\sKeating, a graduate in journalism from â€"Marquette Uniâ€" versity, teaches Feature Writing in Journalism at Marquette, and two fiction courses at Northwestern. He is the ‘author of over 400 pubâ€" lished stories and articles, and his work has appeared in many naâ€" tional publicationsâ€"Harper‘s Baâ€" zaar, Liberty, Country Gentlemen, and Vogue, to name a few. ° â€"«â€" iflcome, and if the boys started to‘ receive a cut on even part of the millions wagered yearly, it is hard to believe that they would make any serious effort to shut off that flow of income. It is hard even to believe that they have any present intention o fshutting it off. \_ This does not excuse any honor violations at West Point, but corruption seeps down from the top, and before the top boys will have any license to hold up their hands in shocked horror at the spectacle of a student cribbing on an exam, they have a lot of cleanâ€" ing up to do on their own account.. â€". Mrs. Gerstley, a student of the late Mr,~Litten, is a member of the faculty at Medill school of journalism, Northwestebn Unviverâ€" sity.

Lengford Felske of Cleveland Symphony Orchestra Will Open Concert Series Nov. 18 828 Marshman. She has done a magnificent and untiring job of organization and each committee has responded eagerly and effiâ€" ciently. Mrs. Felske has always been a good leader as her record proves. She studied music in New York and played professionally until shortly after her marriage. Soon after she moved to Highâ€" land Park she became Secretary of the Braeside â€"PTA. It wasn‘t much later that Mrs, Felske was made Chairman of the Ravinia Women‘s Club. She has been a member of Infant Welfare for fifteen years, Two years ago she held the office of President of the Senior Group and simultanâ€" eously was Treasurer of the Womâ€" en‘s Auxiliary Board. Naturally she has lived up to her past perâ€" formance and is making a real Follies. ber of Infant Welfare who is outâ€" standing is Mrs. Milton Hardacre Jr., the President of the Junior Group who is working in very close cooperation with Mrs. Felske. Perâ€" 'hl.p- their good teamwork is due to similar. bobbies and interests. Mrs. Hardacre, a Highland Park High school graduate, attended the Northwestern school of music and played professionally for three years after graduating and has taught not only piano but all orâ€" chestral instruments. She has orâ€" ganized the Highland Park Presâ€" byterian Church Choir and directâ€" ed it. Her efforts have been so good that the Choir has been inâ€" vited to be on radio and television ‘aeveul times. Highland Park ‘has two more members .of Infant Welfare who have been selected for jobs on the general committee of the Ice Follies. Mrs, Ingram. Rasmussen and Mrs. Melvin G. Barker are in charge of the Program committee and at this period are working hard to get within the deadline that has been set. Mrs. Rasmussen took Journalism in college but it wasn‘t until almost twentyâ€" years later that she found herself workâ€" ing for the Sunâ€"Times in Chicago. She handled a radio quiz program and eventually took over the editâ€" ing of the houle organ for the paper which made her a well qualâ€" ified member of the Program Comâ€" mittee. * Mrs. Kenneth Kightly, chairman of the Program Committee, has secured a colored sound film "Call of The Red Bird," which will be shown. This film depicts the activiâ€" ties of Red Bird Mission located in Beverly, Ky., and is supported by the Evangelical Churches and should be most interesting. ,â€" Mrs. Barker studied journalism also ut though. she ‘has never worked on aâ€"newspaper, she marâ€" ried a newspaperman and claims it‘s practically the same. thing. She has done some professional writing and been a perenial memâ€" ber of various publicity commitâ€" tees so that deadlines and layouts are familiar terms to her. _ There are many others in Highâ€" land Park Infant Welfare groups who have given a great deal of time to this Ice Follies project and if the opening pight is as big a success as anticipated, we can feel that those members in this community have done their share generously to make it so. kepâ€" Bethany Guild > Resumes Activities ; Fall Rummage Sale The first Fall meeting of the Guil%ol Bethany Evangelical Unâ€" ited Brethren Church will be held the Church, Friday evening, tw-hu 14th at 8 o‘clock. _ ‘This well be Men‘s Night" and all men interested are invited.
