A combination Valentine s Party and meeting was held Friday, Feb. IA, at 8::3O pm. in the Bellevue Square Assembly Hall for the purpose of rallying more support for the North End Drum and Bugle Corps Cam paign.
 Dr. Jackson, chairman of the Citizens Committee, stressed the importance of setting up all committees imediately with chairmen and getting the cam paign started very soon, so that the funds may be used for the Memorial Day parade, with enough good workers, this cam paign to raise $2,000 should not have to run longer than three weeks, which Dr. Jackson stressed quite strongly.
 A short, but delightful, pro gram in the spirit of St. Valen- tines Day was presented by Mrs. Walter Beckham. Those taking part were Mrs. Agnes Martin, who rendered a skit; Mrs. Gwen Reed, who sang a song, Valentine, St. Valentine; and Mrs. Beckham, a mono logue.

 Interest Is running high in the approaching seasons pros poets with over 75 teams enter ed from the state. James F. O'Neil, the Legion National Commissioner of Junior base ball, outlined the program and explained the regional sectional and national tournaments which the state champions can gain.
 We like the program and see in it a chance for the ''other side" to see how "our sideo can compete when the opportunity is equal.
 The big question is just how they will get the southern teams to play the northern teams if the Northerners happen to be colored? This could be a dis couraging element and may af- feet the very future of some of our young men of color who yet have to make their way in life.

For the past several weeks

weekly meetings has been
hearing suggestions fr o m
members and guests with re-

One suggestion which seems
to have struck a responsive
cord is that the employees,
managers, and owners of
downtown businesses park
their cars away from the bust
est places of the Main Business
Section of town, thus leaving
the space their cars would oc-
cupy for the convenience of
customers. One difficulty con-
sidered was in the case of per-

chamber members, at h
meeting in the Zion Home
Gold room, approved unani-
mously a resolution presented
to them by their executive
committee opposing the pro-
posed redistricting of Illinois
congressional districts to tie
Lake county in with Cook

Bolger, introduced by Rich
ard Stuck, vice chairman of
the Lake county Democratic
Central committee, told Zion
chamber members his new bill
to pay local schools $50 per
cent of their 1947 state aid re-
quests, would mean state aid
