The almost complete absence of the explosive type of entertainment has proved a veritable blessing. The automo- Fourth of July ~~ bile will take many away to the northlands, but thousands of residents will remain at home to celebrate with their neighbors. Sports' events have become an important feature of Fourth of July, and it is well so. This character of program has its appeal for people of all aged--for those who partici- pate in the events, as well as those who are classified as onlookers. Whether its in the _northlands, on the golf course, at the beach, ~ or on the Village Green--Fourth of July this "year will be a happy and sane observance. If anybody thinks that all schoolmen have an easy time during July and August, let him cast a glance at a north shore school superintendent's schedule for these two months. If he is as busy during the school year as in the vacation season, and we understand that he is, he must do most of his sleeping while riding around in auto or or train. 3 Up to the first of August his program of public speeches and lectures includes what looks to be about fifty appearances and takes him to Colorado, Oregon, California, and back to Illinois. In August he may be found at Locarno, Switzerland, telling the world all about his town's "individual" sys- tem of education. It may be that this man is an exceptional schoolman. A Busy Vacation There are more than a dozen ways of co-operating. One may co-operate mechan- ically, much as the parts of a machine work together. Laborers often co-operate in this rather crude way, not interested in what the other fellow is doing and caring less to find out. Singers sometimes co-operate in this strange way producing a result that is not admirable. There is a sort of co-operating that might be called compulsory co-operating. It is found most often in large cities where the aldermen and citizens never meet. The citi- zens co-operate only because they have to. We'd hardly call this co-operation. Among the other ten there is a sort of co-operating that is the real article. Cheer- fully co-operating is the only kind of work- ing together that deserves the name. The results are almost miraculous. . Let people co-operate cheerfully and not only is the "Cheerfully Co-Operate" 2S WINNETKA TALK quality of the product immensely improved but the feeling of all the co-operators for one another is immensely improved. It is expected of all north shore citizens that they will cheerfully co-operate with those whom they have chosen to govern them. Every town of any considerable size on the north shore holds a town day once a year. Wilmette Day, Winnetka Day, Glen- coe Day, are the various names of these yearly events. These days us- ually are celebrated in midsummer when business is somewhat lighter than in the fall and winter, often in August. Town days are designed for neighborli- ness. In pursuance of this aim a program is arranged including numerous pleasant events--parade, dance, refreshment, music, games, races, etc. The town day is a great mixer. Those who never met before will surely meet on this occasion. Those who have hitherto had few friends and acquaintances will gain them if they enter heartily into the spirit of the civic picnic. Of course if they stand on the side lines and take no part in the festivities they will leave the grounds as lonely as they came. But the opportunities of getting acquainted are remarkably num- erous. According to forecasts the 1927 town days will be the liveliest ever. Town Days It seems to some people that there is no need for neighborhood improvement asso- ciations. It seems to them unnecessary to multiply organizations. The village government is competent to take care of all the village prob- lems including those that might be called neighborhood problems. But we do not agree with these people. Nuisances not big enough to attract the at- tention. of the village authorities, and yet genuine nuisances, may be noticed and taken care of either directly or indirectly by a neighborhood society. Such an organi- zation can also report needed reforms to the larger village group of officials and se- cure prompt action. If a village administration knows that there is a neighborhood group on the alert to discover and if possible help to correct certain evils, this administration will feel that its efforts are being supplemented and its own morale will be improved. Improvement Associations "Children. ....under 16 years of age..... must not drive cars. .... unless accom- panied by parents or licensed chauffeur." That's the law. It Children ought to be observed as Chauffeurs strictly by every father and mother. Not te ob- serve it strictly is to en- danger the lives of pedestrians, occupants of other cars, and occupants of the car driven by the child. = The reason for this law is obvious, but many parents violate it either in letter or in spirit. It seems to us that no child, even with parents or licensed chauffeur, should be allowed to drive a car. A car is one of the deadliest weapons ever invented. In the hands of an impulsive person or one of imature judgment any car can do as much damage as a shotgun. . remain in and about the metropolis. July 2, 1927 ---------- La ad SHORE LINES > LINDY BOY Dear Lindy Boy--with face so fair Who tempts the demons of the air Your deep blue eyes concealed all thought Of wonders, that your hands since wrought.

He's getting too regular, so I'm cutting in to jolt him out of the col for a week. The way he writes I wonder if he's like a couple of the golfers at our club. When they shoot a good score, gosh how swell they write. Not at all hard to read the figures. But--a bum card with lots of pluses and then what? Well the Spencerian racket never was in the curriculum. You couldnt decipher the score even if you read Chinese. The next step is re- forming the writers. What say? --The Fungo Hitter. Sure, Fungo.
