Community Service, Incorporated"

This announcement comes through
Mai. A. A. Sprague, chairman Of the
executiye-fnancial committee for Hi
nos. Organization has been completed
for Illinois and the plans for the es-
Establishment Of the work are under
way.
The aim of Community Service Is so
to improve living and leisure cond-
tons that through their development
peaceful, settled and contented com
munity atmosphere will prevail and
Industrial unrest to great degree
be removed.
The work of the organization has
passed the experimental stage, 1t has
been found to be very solid and sub
stantial success in the big industrial
communities of Bethlehem and Ches-
ter. Pa, The main work Of Commun-
itv Service Is the solution of the leis-
IRE hour problem. A trained organ
lzer will be sent to various communi'
ties TO study conditions and make a
survey of the social and recreational
life, determining what is most needed
and most desirable for the occupation
of the leisure hours Of the community
and then assisting them TO provide
and build up a service system FOL
themselves.

that filling stations and biliboards
should not be permitted to destroy the

After a protracted discussion the
committee declared In favor Of 10

was meant that each nelghborhood be
permitted to decide whether billboards

whose homes are within view, or with
