OSENBERGS Davis Street ~ Downtown Evanston Izaak Walton League to Clean Cook County Streams The Des Plaines and Calumet rivers, | Salt Creek, Thorn Creek, and other | waterways in Cook county are to be the objects of strenuous attack by the thirty chapters of the Izaak Walton league in the county, including the Wilmette and Winnetka chapters of the league. Complete eradication of pollution from these streams is the goal of the Walton leaguers. At a meeting of the leaders of the league in Illinois with officials of the national organization in Chicago last Thursday it was decided | to begin an active campaign imme- | diately, toward this end. "The condition of the streams in Cook county is a disgrace to any | American community, and Chicago | should be thoroughly ashamed to have such a stench under her nostrils," de- clared Dr. R. R. Blodgett, Chicago Heights, a member of the Board of Governors of the Illinois division of the league. "There is no reason," he added, "why these streams, instead of being festering sewers, should not bring happiness and health to those who live near them, as streams are supposed to do. They should contain fish, and should be safe for boys to wade in." A meeting of representatives of the thirty chapters of the league in Cook county, comprising a total member- ship of more than 4,000, was called for Thursday, September 29, at the offices of the national headquarters, 536 Lake Shore drive, Chicago. Phyllis Dubsky entertained three of | her friends on Saturday by taking | them to the matinee. They heard the musical play now in Chicago, "The | Desert Song" in which Alexander Gray is starring. Mr. Gray formerly sang in | the Union church and is a brother of | Mrs. Smale. | Fi t's a Big Party, and Y ou and Y our Pals Are Invited Are you a Purple rooter or a college student on the north shore?
