The Community The church, the : school, the social Library organization, the rah local government-- all these institutions vontribute their quotas to the sum total of community welfare ; but a community with only the few volumes used in its schools and the few owned by the average household would indeed be a destitute group of people. To the community library should there- fore come a very liberal fraction of the tax receipts. Full provisions should be made for the monthly purchase of the best of the classics and of the current books. There should always be on the tables the standard periodicals. Generous allowance should be made for maintenance expenses. The build- ing itself must be adequate to the reading needs and desires of the community. In this matter most communities are remiss, be- cause the population has grown so rapidly that the old building soon becomes entirely inadequate. . - We therefore urge that every north shore community familiarize itself with the ser- vices and problems of its library and recog- nize the fact that suitable libraries can be built and maintained only by suitable ex- penditures. Vote for a man of experience, Judge Charles Thomson, next Monday, June 6. Judge Thomson and the two other inde- pendents on the Vote for judicial ticket, Judgés Torrison and Judge Thomson Johnston, must be elected. The election of their opponents, men of no judicial ex- perience, will be an invitation to the ma- chine bosses to come in and help run the circuit court. The surest way of defeating the bosses on June 6 is to cast your votes only for Judges Thomson, Torrison and Johnston. Another way is to mark your ballot for these three and then for all the coalition candidates except Kerner, Fein- berg and Klarkowski. Readers who have boys between the ages of 17 and 24 years, inclusive, ought to give thought to the benefits their boy may en- joy by becoming a Military student in a Citi- Training Camps zen's Military Training Camp. For one thing, your problem of what to iim during summer vacation will be solved. You will put him in responsible hands that will look after his moral, physi- cal, social and religious welfare. You will keep him out of idleness that may direct him into mischief. You will get him back healthier, stronger and more willing to do his parents' bidding respectfully and gladly. You will get him back with more self-re- liance and more ability to take care of him- self in any emergency. Private summer camps are undoubtedly splendid influences for boys, but six years of proved superiority merits your considera- tion of the C. M. T. C. for your boy. The government camp provides him with trans- portation, all clothing and necessities, in- cluding plenty of health-building foods-- without any charge at all. These camps are conducted from July 28 to August 28. --Contributed. It is not usual to find anything tragic in an advertisement. But sometimes in an every-day ad there will be a word or phrase that will imply even to the casual reader a whole volume of tragedy. Such was the little note which we saw re- cently in a garage ad. It ran as follows: "Better deliveries can be made because of the Flood Area cancellations." "Flood Area cancellations!" The words flash before our eyes thousands of men, women and children marooned on house- tops or clustered on little islands or crowd- ed in relief camps, robbed of homes and property by the merciless flood waters. Threatened by disease and death. Only a few weeks ago they were happy and well, planning to enjoy the spring and summer in the new cars which they had ordered. But their terrible losses forced them to cancel their orders. Small need for cars when they had not even homes. In an Ad Accidents will happen. Some drivers will be either foolish or reckless to the end of their days. Some will always care little about others so long as they themselves can get by. Accidents cannot be eliminated altogether, but their number can be de- creased. Obstacles to safe driving can be made fewer. Though human nature will remain much the same, still those natural conditions that are contributory causes of accidents can be done away with. Perhaps the most fertile cause of automo- bile accidents is obstructed vision at street intersections. If view at such points were as uninterrupted as on country highways the list of such accidents would be much shorter. But as it is, corners in sections where there is considerable traffic must be passed with extreme caution. There is a simple and effective partial remedy. Corner shrubs may be trimmed down so as not to interfere with clear vision of approaching cars. This trimming will, instead of spoiling the appearance of prop- erty really improve it. And when one realizes of what great benefit this trimming will be to drivers, we do not see how prop- erty owners can avoid taking the sugges- tion, Decrease the Number 4 { SHORE LINES WHO'S TO BE REFORMED? The golf caddie is coming into his own. After running the gamut--scorn, anger, tears and repentance--the boys who swing on the elusive pill have gotten nowhere, and now the clubs are taking a hand in the situation and, having the in- terests of golf at heart, are seeking to reform the golfers as well as the caddies. The latest ruling at one of the clubs concerns the caddie system and on a neatly typed page which has been pasted on the bulletin board we read this: "A caddie is only a boy. Have patience with him, call him by name and correct his faults by kindly suggestion, not by scolding." Fine. The caddies will rejoice. There'll be great joy when the news spreads. In the caddie house they'll be laughing merrily and we may ex- pect to hear one freckle-rouged kid chirp to an- other: "Now I'll see how that Big Hick who doesn't know a fairway from the rough conducts himself." And once out on the course the Big Hick will slice one into the rough and the caddie will have a hard time finding the ball. Imagine him saying to his caddie: "Archibald, be diligent in searching for my ball and I shall assist you." No, nothing like that. The "Big Hick" will be himself again. While he may not desire to offend the finer sensibilities of his caddie, he'll have his say and of course any golfer knows the natural and customary phrasing. We think it a nice thing to reform these golfers. They need uplifting as much as the caddies, But it can't be done. It's not human and every player knows it. And the caddies know it too. The cad- dies wouldn't enjoy the game if a player handed them a "gumdrop" every time they failed to find the lost ball. Golf s golf and golfers are golfers. They'll con- tinue to be just that now and forevermore. As for the caddies, they'll be laughing merrily in the caddie house and they'll have their little comeback on the "Big Hick" and enjoy it even if he can't tune in. Reform movements are interesting, but do they reform? £3 --THE OLD PLUG. ook ok ob ob ol ol bob oe Rough Voyage Philup Space and his Missus motored over to Holland (Mich.) over the week-end holiday and returned with the information that he got in "dutch" with the Holland traffic police. ook ode dod bob ob ob ob Pity the Poor Tankers Mique: While Wilmette waits upon official action to make its dear old Main street passable, the Evanston Tank Corps plans to utilize the thoroughfare for some of its intricate maneuvers. --HENRY FORD II.
