SATURDAY, JUNE 30, 1923 GLARING HEADLIGHTS "Blinded by the glaring head- lights of an approaching auto, he lost control of his own car, which, leaving the road, crashed head- long into the culvert wall. It then rolled down the steep em- bankment, the gasoline tank ex- ploded, and all the occupants etc., etc." An every day occurrence! What can be done to decrease the frequency? Several things. Lights need not be turned on so early as they often are. Post- pone the use of lights until they are needed; leave it to individual drivers to decide just when that shall be. The habit that many motorists have of turning on the lights at sundown is foolish and ought not to be supported by law or custom. Don't use "full" lights unless they are really needed. Some drivers use the "glares" on slight provocation. Often this frequent use becomes a fixed habit and such drivers become foolishly de- pendent on full illumination. Half blind drivers ought not to motor at night. Some headlight lenses are less offensive than others, throw- ing the light down and ahead. Finally, headlight laws should be enforced more rigorously. Let us all do what we can to lessen the terrors of night driv- ing on crowded highways. Put yourself in the place of the other man. : LISTENING : It takes at least two to make a bargain, a fight, or a concert. Which explains why Adam's bachelor days were so uninter- esting. In those sad days before the advent of Eve he had nobody to bargain with, quarrel with, or talk to. No audience! Think of poor Adam talking to the apple trees and the Snake! If our memory is sound, it was the Lord that spoke to Adam; and no back talk from Adam. Good listeners are at a premi- um. Everybody wants a good listener. "Lend me your ears" is a universal request. Did you ever hear of anybody asking to be talked to? No, we're all look- ing for sympathetic ears. "Creative listeners" is a phrase that describes the invaluable func- tion of the audience. Certainly there would be no sounds if there were no ears and nervous sys- tems to be affected by air waves. What is a symphony as it is com- ing from the orchestra to me? Let those answer who don't be- lieve in creative listening. What habit can be formed in children that is more useful than the habit of good listening? To learn to react well to a stimulus is a great experience. A person who knows a great painting when he sees it is certainly for- tunate. If you want your boy to grow, get him interested in the Ravinia Memory Contest. JULY FOURTH Remember that the blessings of liberty have not just grown They have been bought at great expense. You and I are enjoying them. What shall we render un- to our ancestors for all they have left to us, their posterity? Noth- ing. They are now beyond our reach. But this we can do: We can see clearly and acknowledge gratefully what America means to us. As we read and sing "My Country 'tis of Thee" and other songs of our country, let us think about them, translate their meaning into action and feeling. Let us praise our opportunities. Let us declare our independence of disloyalty and ingratitude. Celebrate our Fourth of July. NORTH SHORE JOYS We spent last Sunday from nine in the morning till about six in the evening riding in a day coach from St. Paul to Milwau- kee. Nine hours of being baked and coated with cinders and grimy dust! We saw a stretch of Wisconsin about three hundred miles long. After having the al- ternative of open window as against suffocation, we had no de- sire except to reach Milwaukee and Lake Michigan. And when at last the beautiful old lake came into view, pur- gatory suddenly opened into par- adise. What a divine change! Only those can know it whose toothache has suddenly ceased, whose boil and swollen tonsils have been lanced. "There's only one North Shore!" LEWIS SPRINGER Voted against Governor Small's One Hundred Million Dollar Road Bill. Voted to sus- tain the Brundage Appropriatiot Bill over the Governor's veto. Voted to sustain the Civil Serv- ice and Pension Appropriation Bill over the Governor's veto. Mr. Springer's first session in the Illinois Legislature as rep- resentative from this district has ended. He was elected as an anti-Small candidate, and his vot- ing record, given above; shows that he has been true to his trust. We now know him as a legislator who really represents his con- stituents. We're with you, Mr. Springer. Keep up the good work. Iili- nois needs more men in the Leg- islature just like you. GROWERS On a sign facing Hibbard Road is the phrase, "Grower of Irises and Peonies". This particular man "grows" these flowers: plants them, cultivates them, cares for them. Could a human being ask for a nobler title than "Grower of Men?" What greater reward can one have than the conscious- ness of having helped some on? else to grow? Blessed are the growers, for they are doing the world's noblest work. 1] EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS Fifty-nine miles an hour on Sheridan Road! A mile a minute, almost! We are grateful to Al- bert Ottone, motor policeman for catching these criminal speeders. One of them, A. M. Howard, of Minneapolis, is fined one hundred dollars. Splendid! But the other, Clark Gordon, does not appear. That's why the Chicago authori- ties are jailing speeders. The Indian Hill park grows sightlier day by day. The sud- den coming up of the new grass has thrown a beautiful green mantle over the entire area. When the new foundation is in position Winnetka will present to travellers entering her borders from the south a picture that she may well be proud of. If you haven't noticed the oc- cupation of the Skokie by the Winnetka Manor homes you'd better motor or walk out Willow Avenue to our western limits and mvestigate. Your contribution of two dol- lars to help defray the cost of the Fourth of July celebration on the 'Winnetka Commons will be well spent. It's our day.

Certainly was a good idea to travel right with our dinner . . . country along here . . . doing sixty miles an hour . . . 8:30: Arrived Milwaukee, just in time for the Pere time. Beautiful smoothest traveling I've ever done. Marquette boat for Michigan. Saturday morning: Rented a canoe and a tent at the lake, stowed our luggage and found a camping place. Saturday a week later: office for a month . . . nothing but fish and swim and paddle. Breaking up camp . . . feel as though I hadn't been at the Sunday morning: Breakfast in North Shore waiting room at Milwaukee . . . some change from camp coffee! Spent the day seeing Milwaukee. Sunday evening: Pulling into Adams and Wabash Station. Man! What a wonder- ful week in that North Michigan country. And the whole vacation cost us less than $50, including $10 each for the round trip fares to Mar 3 * E 3 You can see for yourself how much the convenience and economy of North Shore travel did to increase the pleasure of this vacation. All North Shore trains are headed for vacationland. *This train leaves Winnetka at 6:47 p. m. Standard Time. Let's help you plan!
