Y OF EA.CB WEEK and effectively for his community many ' north shore residents have good reason to know. Such a man, member of the community in the most excellent sense of that word, will certainly be missed. No one\ can quite take his place. There are no substitutes for such as he. The hest that those who remain can do is to carry on .t he work in his self-forgetful spirit. For a period of. ahout three months beginning the middle of June our north shore bathing beaches will be available for public use. On warm daYs dozens o f hathi~g Bathing Beaches enthusiasts will be disporting themselYes in the somewhat coolish waters of good old I ~ake ~'lichigan, or basking .on the sunny sands. On hot days, when the mercury has risen above the eighties and nineties. hundreds of north shore residents will haYe forsaken sultry homes and torrid streets for the cooling beaches. Those who haYe not recentlY 1iYed in towns away from a big body of water cannot justly appreciate the attractions offered in the summer months by our lake shore suburbs. In i11land communities there is Yirtually nothing that one cares to do on stifling July and .'\ugn st days other than sit and wait for whate,·er relief sunset may bring. Electric fan and lemonade can do little to les~en the discom fort. But "·hat a reiug-e in time of high humidity is the hig lake! The ycry first plunge into its liquid depth .- was1w~ a\\'ay the i11emory of hot hours in the s\\'cltering city. .\nd a good half hour\ ~oak helps one to absorb enough fresh coolness to last through the sultriest night.

Today. walking west on Creenlea f ;\ ,·cnue in \\"ilmette. we paused to pull down ancl take a whiff of a syringa blossom. An attracti,·e young \v<m~an sitting on the porch looked at · u ~ and smiled in a sympathetic way. A touch ui nature- You know the rest. These tw.o little experiences lead u. to btlie,·e in spite of OYergenerons san itary trustees and the close cnopcration of crime and politics that the better {eel ings are still ali\·e in human hearts.

There arc some who do not "y~ew with alarm" thi~ laxitY. some who seem tn think that there is no need for bolstering up the Jnyc of high ideals. 'Ve cannot agree with this easy-going- Yiew.

One o'f th surest mean~ of arresting this growing- disrespect for Ia w and disrerra rd for high ideal s is the formation and mai~tcnance of s uch school clubs as the Tri-Ship rluh of New Trier high school.
